Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bishop
“Felicia was great. Her house is super clean and very nicely decorated, I might add! Oliver looked happy in the pictures I was being updated with and came home smelling cleaner than before! She was great with communication also, I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”
“Xionella was amazing with Wilbur! He was so well cared for and had a great visit. Xionella was very responsive and sent pictures and updates throughout the day/night. Definitely would book with her again!”
“This was my second time using James and he does not disappoint. He keeps you up to date on what you pet is doing each day so you have any doubts if your pet is safe and happy. I would definitely recommend using James.”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Becky was the best! My dog looked really happy in pics while she was there and we were able to enjoy our time out of town without worrying about how our dog was doing! Totally recommend Becky’s services!”
“Tom and Nikki made us feel SOO good about leaving our little anxious dog while on vacation. We just moved into town, and we usually have friends watch him while we travel, so we were afraid to leave him with strangers. He is usually so nervous and barky around people he doesn’t know, so you can imagine our shock when we were sent dozens of pictures of him snuggling up with Tom and making himself at home on their bed!! These two are natural dog whisperers. We are super excited (and relieved) to know that our dog will be in safe hands when we go out of town again! The picture and video updates throughout the day let us know that he was in very good hands!!”
“Luciana was incredible!! She went way above and beyond to take care of my cat Camille for an extended stay while I was overseas. Communication was excellent, and Camille was clearly very well taken care of.”
“Jill was wonderful she took great care of our baby Toby. She was very accommodating and was quick to respond and also gave us updates on how he was doing. I wound definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Rebekah was wonderful. Very responsive, gave frequent updates, very sweet to our Coco and went out of her way to make him feel more comfortable. Would absolutely leave coco with her again without hesitation.”
“Where do I start. Mrs. Linda and I set up a meet and greet with Koda. She was so pleasant and patient with him. We discussed his medical condition and she listened to everything I said. She later introduced Koda to her foster Aden and Koda immediately made a friend. She also introduced Koda to her pup Pippa and Koda was so gentle with the little one. Mrs. Linda keep me abreast of Koda's day with text messages, pictures and videos. She has a nice farm with plenty of space for Koda to explore and have fun. I would definitely recommend boarding with Mrs. Linda. She has a warm and welcoming energy that makes you feel like she's not a stranger..Thanks Mrs. Linda for keeping Koda safe and allowing him to explore your farm.”
“Stacy was awesome. I am a first time dog owner and left my 5-month old puppy with her for 5 days and she answered all my questions and put all my fears to rest. She kept me updated daily with pictures and commentary about how my puppy was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Will definitely be calling her again.”
“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“Annette is a natural dog person! She understands them well. Living walkably close to a dog park, she spoiled my dog with 2 trips to the park per day...now he's bored at home with me after staying with her! Having a fenced-in back yard is a huge plus, too. I'll have my dog stay with her every time I go out of town, going forward! Thanks, Annette!”
“Winter loves JR. He is our go-to person whenever we need we need to stay with someone overnight. He’s always so caring and sweet with winter that winter comes back home super happy and is always excited to see JR again!”
About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
“Luciana was incredible!! She went way above and beyond to take care of my cat Camille for an extended stay while I was overseas. Communication was excellent, and Camille was clearly very well taken care of.”
“Samantha was so amazing! She followed instructions and gave me multiple updates throughout the visits! Provided great pictures. Our cat loved her and made the daily visits great. Thank you so much!”
“Ashley is like Dr. Doolittle with pets. They love her and she speaks their language. I'm able to travel and maintain relationships only because Ashley is such an amazing pet sitter! A+++”
About: I’ve loved animals and owned dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy! Before pursuing my current career, I planned to go into veterinary medicine and spent three years working at a veterinary office, where I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Through that experience, I became comfortable with a variety of pet-care needs, including giving medications, bathing, nail trims, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I especially love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but my schedule allows me to be available before 8 a.m., during my lunch hour, and after 5 p.m. each day. So, if your furry friend needs to be fed, let out, or taken for a walk three times a day, I can make it happen! My weekends are much more flexible, although my job does require some Saturday work during the fall. My Saturday availability can vary, but I am typically available in the mornings and evenings. I know how important it is to have someone you can count on when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always do my best to be dependable, communicative, and flexible with your routine! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure and making sure pets are never put in a situation where they could get loose or hurt themselves. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands!
About: Taking care of cats is easy for me, I swear I was a cat in another life. I find cat behaviors so interesting and funny, plus my dog would rather play with a cat than another dog. Every cat is a kitty to me, no matter the age, they are all babies.
“This is the second time I’ve used Allison for my sitting needs and she is AMAZING! She gives such informative notes for each visit and takes the cutest pictures. She’s my go to now and should be yours!”

“Abby was so kind and loving to my kitten! She was also extremely flexible when I had to change my pick up time! I am very grateful for the awesome service I received and will absolutely rebook next time I have to go out of town!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bishop
“Oscar practically leaps out of our arms when we get to Nikki and Tom's house! They always send many pictures of him throughout the day, and he is clearly having a great time and as well loved. I can't believe how lucky we are to have found them to take care of our little buddy!”
About: Your pet's new favorite human (after you, of course I bring veterinary experience and a foster's heart to every walk, drop-in, and boarding stay. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or sensitive pets who need a little extra patience. Whether we're out for a fun, structured walk or relaxing at home, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so your pet feels understood and cared for every step of the way. I'm also confident with basic handling, medication routines, and keeping a clean, calm environment. Safety is always my priority-secure leashes, awareness of surroundings, and thoughtful care. You'll get plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication, so you always know how your pet is doing. With me, your pet gets more than just care-they get attention, patience, and lots of love. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I have worked in a full service veterinary hospital, and in my home, someone is always present—so pets get constant supervision, playtime, and companionship. I keep routines consistent and tailor care to each pet. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be part of our daily life. Safety and trust are my top priorities, especially when pets are staying in my home. I create a calm, structured environment where they can settle in comfortably and feel secure. My home features a fully fenced acre where dogs can safely run, play, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs and cats, so I carefully supervise all interactions and match energy levels to keep everyone safe and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—including feeding schedules, medications, and preferences—so their stay feels familiar and consistent. With hands-on veterinary experience, I’m also able to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if needed. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quieter space, I adjust to their needs and let them settle in at their own pace. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for a variety of pets and developed a deep love and understanding for them from an early age. I currently work full-time at Oconee Veterinary Hospital and have several years of experience in both veterinary and pet care settings. In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m also a full-time college student studying in the medical field, which has enhanced my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and overall care. I’m highly attentive to animals’ body language and behavior, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care and compassion to your pets as I would my own. Whether you’re away for a few hours or several days, you can rest assured knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. My schedule includes working at Oconee Veterinary Hospital and attending Athens Technical College. Despite my busy schedule, I am committed to working with you to find a time that fits both our needs—ensuring your pets receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve. Please note that I am not currently offering pet boarding in my own home due to a recent move. However, I do offer a variety of in-home services at my clients’ residences. I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.

I am flexible and happy to work around your schedule to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or special care, I’ll coordinate with you to meet your pet's needs. If there’s ever a conflict with my availability, I’ll communicate with you promptly to find a solution. Your pet’s happiness and well-being always come first! 🐾 In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of space for your pet to relax and play. I maintain a consistent routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, tailored to your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I ensure they stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medication and specific care routines.

Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.
“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again. She’s a superb choice for any person to wants/needs o leave their pet in a loving and caring home. Couldn’t think of anything she could do better❣️”

I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities
About: A Convenient, Fun Home Away From Home 🐾 . I have a pet-friendly home with a large, fenced-in yard, located just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. It’s a great setup for friendly, social dogs who enjoy having room to play, relax, and get some exercise during the day. I work from home, so I’m able to provide a comfortable home environment for dogs throughout the day. . And when your dog is ready for a little adventure, I’m happy to take them out for walks or outings at places like Dudley Park or Sandy Creek Park. 🐕🌳 . Why this works well 🏡 Large fenced yard — Plenty of room for your pup to play, explore, and burn off some energy. 💻 I work from home — Your dog gets to spend the day in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel or facility. 🌳 Adventure time — Dogs who enjoy getting out and about can join me for walks and adventures at Dudley Park, Sandy Creek Park, and other nearby spots. 📍 Super convenient location — Just one mile from Downtown Athens and UGA. Drop your pup off on your way to work, school, or downtown and pick them up whenever it works for you. 🔑 Flexible drop-off & pickup — I work from home, but if I happen to miss you, I have keyless entry makes it easy to come and go, even if I’m briefly away from home. ⏰ Daytime care — My preference is daytime stays between 7 AM and 9 PM, making this especially convenient for students and anyone working near downtown. Overnight stays can also be accommodated when needed. . A few important requirements 🐶 . To make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience: • Meet & greets are required before the first stay so we can make sure your dog is comfortable here and gets along well with other dogs. • I only accept friendly, social dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs. • No aggressive dogs, please. • Dogs must be spayed/neutered and current on all vaccinations. Proof of vaccinations will be requested before the first stay. My goal is to make dog care easy and convenient for you while giving your pup a safe, social place to hang out, get some exercise, and have a little fun while you're away. 🐕❤️ . Come and go as you need — let's make this work for you and your pup!

About: I have been a camper (dog-sitter) for service pups in training aged 2-17 months for the Guide Dog Foundation for about 1 year. I live in East Athens about 2 mi from campus but am willing to travel mostly anywhere around Athens if needed. I am pretty flexible on weekends (all-day) and Monday/ Friday afternoons. I am also available some Tuesday-Thursday late afternoons/ evenings but would appreciate more advanced notice. I live in an only partially enclosed apartment complex, so I would keep pets on a leash during any time spent outside unless my client had an enclosed yard.
About: I had 2 personal dogs that I had for 13 years. One very large cane corso and one small weiner dog who were best friends. I've also done volunteer work at a cat shelter. I've been a sitter since 2022 on and off and have cared for a large range of animals in a large range of situations (paralyzed, anxious, etc.) I'm available to be at your house 3 times a day for morning, lunch, and night drop ins and could add spending the night to that when needed. I'll give you lots of updates and follow whatever instructions you give me strictly! I will never bring anyone to your home and will always let you know if I see anything out of the ordinary.
About: I've been taking care of my family pets as far back as I can remember! I have a small dog of my own who I spoil beyond belief. I love cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and I truly believe they deserve every good thing life could possibly offer them. I've dealt with all the ups and downs of having pets from allergies, injuries, diets, and fleas to cuddles and grooming. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and help you give them the attention and care that they deserve! I'll be available all summer outside of the evenings Friday-Sunday due to my part time job. During the fall I'm free every Monday and Wednesday. I'll also be available from morning to noon on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My own pets have taught me so much about caring for dogs and cats. I understand their body language when they are agitated or hurt and I pay close attention to the things that catch their eyes. Therefore, I can easily keep your pet out of trouble in and out of the house whether that be in your yard, living room, or walks. My priority is always their safety and happiness. I can easily crate dogs, keep them on their leash, and be wary of that suspicious crunch sound in their mouth when they find something they shouldn't have.
“Wow, just Amazing! Olivia was attentive and followed directions to a T. She was extremely diligent and gave my sweet boy extra lovings. He really enjoyed her company and we are so happy to know that we will MOST DEFINITELY be using Olivia again very soon! If your hesitant about a dog sitter, OLIVIA IS YOUR GIRL!!!”
About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
“I was a first time Rover user, due to boarding at a local pet daycare not working out. I have two in tact opposite gender fur babies, who have never been cared for by anyone but their in home family….us. My family and I went on a 5 day vacation and needed to have them walked 3x per day. Due to the turnaround time, the walker needed to be booked within 48 hours. Being a novice, I thought I would need to cancel my family’s vacation. Cheyenne accepted my booking and was such a gem! Cheyenne went above and beyond during the 5 days she was booked to walk my two fur babies. She was so kind to keep with their walk times to the minute. She was never late and always on time. My two fur babies took to her immediately, which to me was the best feeling as a fur parent. She even taught me how to use the Rover App! She sent pictures as a part of their walk report card. I know Cheyenne will now be our go to, anytime we are needing a qualified and loving sitter! Thank you so much Cheyenne again for taking our booking. 🥰”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and have been a pet sitter since 2002. I've owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, chinchillas, and chickens. In college, I worked for a mobile dog groomer. I'm a marine biologist, so I work offshore often. My schedule has me at sea for 3-6 weeks and then home for a few weeks where I'm fully available to look after your fur babies! I'll be sure to keep my availability updated so you know when I'm around to help out. You know your animals and what they need to be happy and thrive, so I'll do my best to always make sure they're cared for in the way you prefer.
About: After the passing of my senior dog, Fezzik, I felt the need to share my care for pets with others in my community. With experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for senior animals, I can be the attentive caregiver your furry companion needs! I currently am starting my career in online teaching and content creation, which means I work from home and have a flexible schedule. With frequent walks already built into my schedule, I am a good fit for pets of any activity level!

I have my own transportation for at-home visits as well.
About: I’ve loved animals and owned dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy! Before pursuing my current career, I planned to go into veterinary medicine and spent three years working at a veterinary office, where I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Through that experience, I became comfortable with a variety of pet-care needs, including giving medications, bathing, nail trims, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I especially love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but my schedule allows me to be available before 8 a.m., during my lunch hour, and after 5 p.m. each day. So, if your furry friend needs to be fed, let out, or taken for a walk three times a day, I can make it happen! My weekends are much more flexible, although my job does require some Saturday work during the fall. My Saturday availability can vary, but I am typically available in the mornings and evenings. I know how important it is to have someone you can count on when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always do my best to be dependable, communicative, and flexible with your routine! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other instructions you provide. I’m also very mindful of keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure and making sure pets are never put in a situation where they could get loose or hurt themselves. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands!

“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”
“Xionella was amazing with Wilbur! He was so well cared for and had a great visit. Xionella was very responsive and sent pictures and updates throughout the day/night. Definitely would book with her again!”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“Becky was the best! My dog looked really happy in pics while she was there and we were able to enjoy our time out of town without worrying about how our dog was doing! Totally recommend Becky’s services!”
“Tom and Nikki made us feel SOO good about leaving our little anxious dog while on vacation. We just moved into town, and we usually have friends watch him while we travel, so we were afraid to leave him with strangers. He is usually so nervous and barky around people he doesn’t know, so you can imagine our shock when we were sent dozens of pictures of him snuggling up with Tom and making himself at home on their bed!! These two are natural dog whisperers. We are super excited (and relieved) to know that our dog will be in safe hands when we go out of town again! The picture and video updates throughout the day let us know that he was in very good hands!!”
“Jill was wonderful she took great care of our baby Toby. She was very accommodating and was quick to respond and also gave us updates on how he was doing. I wound definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Rebekah was wonderful. Very responsive, gave frequent updates, very sweet to our Coco and went out of her way to make him feel more comfortable. Would absolutely leave coco with her again without hesitation.”
“Where do I start. Mrs. Linda and I set up a meet and greet with Koda. She was so pleasant and patient with him. We discussed his medical condition and she listened to everything I said. She later introduced Koda to her foster Aden and Koda immediately made a friend. She also introduced Koda to her pup Pippa and Koda was so gentle with the little one. Mrs. Linda keep me abreast of Koda's day with text messages, pictures and videos. She has a nice farm with plenty of space for Koda to explore and have fun. I would definitely recommend boarding with Mrs. Linda. She has a warm and welcoming energy that makes you feel like she's not a stranger..Thanks Mrs. Linda for keeping Koda safe and allowing him to explore your farm.”
“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“Annette is a natural dog person! She understands them well. Living walkably close to a dog park, she spoiled my dog with 2 trips to the park per day...now he's bored at home with me after staying with her! Having a fenced-in back yard is a huge plus, too. I'll have my dog stay with her every time I go out of town, going forward! Thanks, Annette!”
About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
“River loved her stay with Kendall and Darbie. Thank you for the excellent communication throughout the booking process and stay! I will highly recommend you to friends!”
“Hands down the best sitter I have ever had. Delmina was very informative of details throughout my fur baby’s stay. I could tell that she was at ease and enjoyed her time with Delmina and her family, so much so that I was a little jealous of the love they gave my baby. lol. I will for sure be booking with her in the future!!!!!”
“Joey was awesome! Easy going atmosphere with a large fenced in backyard....My dogs loved it there....Joey and Terry were easy to work with and had great customer service. Highly recommend!”
“We had such an amazing experience with this couple boarding my golden doodle, Parker! They kept me informed throughout his stay, maintained a schedule for him, and truly treated him like one of their own pets. I was beyond pleased with the level of care, professionalism, and love they showed him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I would not hesitate to trust them with Parker again and again.”
