“Emily came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Andi. She send us many pictures and messages letting us know how Emily was doing. Emily was very comfortable at Andi’s house and even got to sleep in bed with them.”
“This was the first time with Lorraine. She helped me feel comfortable with leaving my Skittles. She gave me updates and he came home tired because he played so much with the other doggies! He had such a good time! I will definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future. If you are nervous about leaving your pouch, don’t be! I am very deliberate and discerning when he comes to my boy and she was great!”
“Diana and her family boarded my Cockapoo Sonni for an entire week. Sonni had not been away from my family for that long ever. Diane was so sweet, she sent me pictures and videos nearly every day to assure me that he was doing ok. Her home was clean and well put together as well. I will definitely be using her again.”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

“This was the 2nd time we had our pup at Janelly & family's home, 1st time Chase stayed away/overnight from us since we got him. He had some hiccups with being away overnight, but Janelly and family kept him comforted and on track. This was also his 1st time meeting kitties, LOL. I think he knows to proceed with caution around them. We don't go away often, but we were so happy to have this family watch our pupper. Highly recommended!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous to leave our babies while we went on a cruise, especially since I wouldn’t have service/internet but Susan made sure to give me updates as long as possible and when we got back. Drop off & pick up were quick and easy, even though both my pups are clingy. I will most definitely be using Susan anytime we need a sitter.”
“Taylor did AMAZING! She kept us updated and took pictures of our pups! She also let our dogs interact with her dogs and cats! Our pups came back exhausted so that means they had a ton of fun! I will recommend Taylor to anyone and definitely go to her again for our dogs to be watched and cared for”

“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”
“Deyni was a fantastic sitter. She updated me throughout the visit and took great care of my pup. I was a little nervous at first because I've never used Rover before. But after working with her I’ll definitely have her be my preferred sitter.”
“Debbie was so good with my cat, Toshi. She was always on time, communicating during each visit with updating me with photos. She cared for him exactly as was needed. I would definitely recommend her for your own pet care needs.”
“Courtney was so sweet and accommodating for my cat, Birdie! We contacted her with only 2 days notice and she made it work seemingly effortlessly! She was sweet to Birdie and very detailed! So glad we were able to book with her!”

“Bethany was a huge blessing to my family and our Beau. She was timely, and took her time with Beau. She was very communicative; she sent texts, photos, and videos.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sparr
“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience in pet care both professional and personal combined! Everything from small animal care to equine care. I have spent the last 15+ years working in doggy day care and boarding facilities and have worked with all types of temperaments and behavioral concerns. During this time I have been able to determine which things work best and which things don’t which helps me care for your pups with full confidence! I also have a degree in Veterinary Technology (Vet Tech) which helps build confidence in people for me to properly care for their pets and handle emergency situations with the proper attention. I also gained a wealth of knowledge on how to care for pets with medical conditions and senior care. I have a near full acre of land which is all fenced in for full roaming and fun! I also have a pool which is available for your pup if they love to swim! Boarding dogs will have their own designated area that is climate controlled and separate from any others who may be spending the night so they feel safe and comfortable for their entire stay! Pick up and drop off services available within 10 miles. Basic grooming (shampoo, conditioner, brush, blow dry and nail trims) available. I do have 3 dogs of my own as well on the property but only 1 of them will be mingling with yours and helping them feel at home! ***if your dog does not do well with other dogs, please do not hesitate to reach out as I may still be able to accommodate them for an additional charge as this will require more individualized care*** Because this is a residential property, in an effort to be good neighbors and provide the best possible stay for your pup, if they exhibit any of these behaviors, our property may not be the best fit for them! -Can jump a 4ft fence -Barks excessively -Digs excessively -Escapes fences, crates or other barriers -Has barrier frustration/aggression with neighboring animals This is all I do so I am always home and will have plenty of time to spend with your babies and ensure they are well exercised and are provided with plenty of individualized care and all the fun imaginable! I will follow your standard routine to keep your babies comfortable and in a setting they are most comfortable with! I follow directions very well and am able to make adjustments where I see fit. Daycare and boarding dogs will have the ability to roam the property and play in a very small group, never more than 4 dogs will ever be on the property and all dogs must pass a meet and greet process to participate! Boarding dogs will be enjoying their own designated areas for bedtime and midday naps which is climate controlled and private for their safety and comfort during their entire stay!
“my usual doggy sitter ended up being out of town today, in a panic I needed someone and I couldn't have picked a better person. Lorraine responded right away to my last minute booking (only 12 hours notice) she provided multiple videos throughout the stay today which made me feel even more comfortable dropping my fur baby off. I 100% recommend and will be happy to use her in the future when needed.”

I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away for peace of mind. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and lots of affection.

“Emily came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Andi. She send us many pictures and messages letting us know how Emily was doing. Emily was very comfortable at Andi’s house and even got to sleep in bed with them.”
“This was the first time with Lorraine. She helped me feel comfortable with leaving my Skittles. She gave me updates and he came home tired because he played so much with the other doggies! He had such a good time! I will definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future. If you are nervous about leaving your pouch, don’t be! I am very deliberate and discerning when he comes to my boy and she was great!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“Anas and Tate are truly exceptional— they treated Kaine and Lyuba like family with so much care and attention. Always reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We appreciate them sending updates, videos and pictures. We feel completely at ease knowing our fur babies are in such compassionate, responsible, and capable hands.”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”
“This was the 2nd time we had our pup at Janelly & family's home, 1st time Chase stayed away/overnight from us since we got him. He had some hiccups with being away overnight, but Janelly and family kept him comforted and on track. This was also his 1st time meeting kitties, LOL. I think he knows to proceed with caution around them. We don't go away often, but we were so happy to have this family watch our pupper. Highly recommended!”
“Taylor did AMAZING! She kept us updated and took pictures of our pups! She also let our dogs interact with her dogs and cats! Our pups came back exhausted so that means they had a ton of fun! I will recommend Taylor to anyone and definitely go to her again for our dogs to be watched and cared for”
“Lucy had a great time with Lauren. After a bad experience with a different sitter we were hesitant to leave Lucy and for such a long stretch. The meet and greet before our trip left us confident that Lucy was in good hands. The daily pics and comments were reassuring. Lucy came home happy!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
About: I not only grew up around dogs, but I’ve worked in animal shelters and a pet resort, where I was responsible for the needs of dogs and cats. I earned 44 hours of volunteer work at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., where I gave tours to potential dog owners. I worked at Pet Suites and LifeLine, where I ensured all pets received their food and/or medicine in a timely manner. I have fostered dogs for Angels Among Us and found homes for all of them. I also take an interest in dog training. I’m not a licensed trainer, but I enjoy teaching dogs manners and tricks. I currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with other dog neighbors. There’s a lot of grass surrounding the complex. While at work, I prefer letting dogs roam unless they need to be in a crate.
“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Michelle and Heidi were the sweetest sitters! They took great care of our 1-year-old pup, sent us photos and videos, were super responsive, and most importantly, when we came to pick him up, he seemed happier than ever! Their living room is stocked with dog toys, and their home is quiet, calm, pet-safe, and has plenty of space for dogs to play. Thank you, Michelle and Heidi! We’ll definitely be back!”
“Anthony was fantastic, he sent pictures to reassure me my dog was doing fine. He picked up my dog and dropped him off even though we were 40 minutes from his location, we were able to enjoy our night without worry. I definitely recommend him to everyone and will use his services again when in the area. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby!”
“Heidi was great. I got turned down several times due to my boy being a pitbull. She didn't hesitate and agreed to take him in. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a special someone to care for their extended family member.”
“Ashley made my dog feel very much at home during his 2-week stay. She sent me photos and updates. Her own pets are very easygoing so my dog fit right in. I would recommend her highly!”
