“Always an amazing experience. My two dogs were loved, pampered and had a great time. Thanks for all you did for Tod and Merle I especially appreciate your willingness to keep Merle at the last minute”
“This was a somewhat last-minute request, and I truly lucked out with Cynthia! She made Xavier feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. She sent multiple updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Xavier had an absolute blast during his stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Angie eas amazing with our dog. She showed him lots of love and care. She was flexible with us when our travel plans changed. We will definitely want to use her again.”
“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”
“Leaving Dash with Emmanuel makes me feel relaxed when I am away. Dash always comes home happy and exhausted. He has a vacation when we leave him there. And he loves it!”
“We were happy with Willies stay with Lena. It was our first time but certainly will use Lena again. Willie seemed happy when we picked him up. We appreciated the pictures she sent, like a small collage.”
“Katie and her family are so excellent!!! We can tell our dog was so cared for and there was great communication start to finish. We received lots of pics and videos of our dog having an absolute blast while she was there. Their fenced in backyard is also perfect for pets. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Just wanted to get on here and say I highly recommend Reyna and her husband, our story is a bit different, you see we have, my husband and I , a cane corso mix with pit male dog Moses. . He’s my baby and my what our kids call my empty nester dog lol. He follows me everywhere and he’s the biggest cuddle bug, he sleeps at my feet you get the point…he’s my baby. So when we decided to take our adult kids and grandkids to Tybee Island for the week, we started looking at where to board him since he’s never been on a trip that far away and the house we had rented had a policy on bully, big dog breeds. We had boarded him before, with a different company, 2 times before. The second time though when we picked him up he was acting very skittish, he was cowed down, his nails were jagged and the lady at the desk said he had had diarrhea, which they never told me when I called for a update. Needless to say I was upset and so when looking for a boarder this time we were very cautious, and concerned. I read all the reviews on Reyna on Rover and I told my husband I like this one. We met with Reyna and her husband and Moses done so good, he ran the yard, played fetch , met their other dog and seemed so content. They went over how they hade separate sections for the dogs to play in, the kennels, we felt so good bout them. Dec 26 we ended up running late to drop off Moses before our trip so all the other dogs that they were boarding was outside, but Moses got anxious bout all the barking, Reyna and her husband took Moses into the kennel and assured us that they would bring him out, after getting all the other dogs back in, to acclimate him. Bring out several dogs at a time. They said they would update us. So after talking to them a bit and feeling better about leaving him, we drove back to Blue Ridge. Reyna ended up calling me a couple hours later and asked how to get Moses back in the house, that he was nervous, and anxious and he wouldn’t come to her. She had tried for over 30 minutes before she called me. I told her some stuff to try, when I called back she said it wasn’t working that he was just very scared acting. She also had I think it was her sister that’s a trainer, trying to get him to come to them, they sit in the ground with him, she told me that she knew someone that could come by our house to check on him but I didn’t wanna leave him at our house that long. So I called our vacation rental company explained what was going on, thankfully they made an exception with a bigger pet deposit and I told Reyna just to leave him alone and we were on our way to get him. When we pulled up, he came running up to us, Reyna said he was a different dog when we got there, he sit while they petted him, and put his leash on, the kids were petting him. She and her sister kept apologizing and saying they tried everything to get him to come to them but he just kept running away and running around. I am super grateful that she called me instead of just putting him in the kennel and leaving him there. She was genuinely worried bout him instead of just making money off of him and for that we do recommend her and her husband for boarding. Her husband called to check up on us and Moses the next day, and he apologized that Moses wasn’t able to stay and how they tried so hard to get him acclimated. I said it was all good, that Im glad they called me. That meant so much to us that they cared so much. He’s my baby and I wouldn’t want him to be miserable. So Moses got to go on a beach vacation, he did amazing on the ride down and back and he made new friends wherever we went while we were there.”
“Karen took excellent care of Molly. I got regular updates and pictures. Molly looked super happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and have her sit Molly again.”
“Charity was absolutely incredible with my lab and golden who stayed with her for 6 days. I was very nervous using Rover for the first time and as soon as I met Charity, she eased all my fears. She has so much experience with her dogs, as do her adorable children and they were so sweet with them! She sent me a lot of beautiful photos to ease my mind while we were away and handled my lab throwing up on the second to last day with such grace like a pro. My dogs were so welcomed and relaxed into their home very quickly. My golden takes a lot of supplements and Charity was so precise to even notice that I left one of the supplements off my instructions and she messaged me to confirm. She was extremely responsive and communicative through the entire process from my inquiry just a week and an half before our trip until even after we got home checking in on my lab. She’s amazing!!! I would 1000% recommend Charity to anyone looking for a caring and kind pet sitter who will treat them like her own. I would love to book with Charity again in the future for any short trips we take!”
“Shilpi was amazing!! I have never felt as comfortable leaving my fur baby when going away. Shilpi made the process so easy and gave us steps to make sure we remembered everything. While we were gone she sent many updates and pictures and I could tell my dog was safe and happy. They did a phenomenal job making sure she was eating well and enjoying her stay. When we picked her up too, she seemed so well kept and her fur was so soft and clean which hasn't always been the case when we have left her at other places. I will absolutely be leaving my dog with them again and I know I will feel 100% safe and happy doing so! Thank you to them for taking care of my fur baby ♥️”
“Lauren and her family are awesome! They made our guy Charlie feel right at home, sending lots of pictures/updates and giving him tons of attention. It was our first time using River and they made the whole thing really easy. Definitely recommend!”
“Kimberly is truly outstanding! She cared for both our dogs—elderly Sid and energetic young Tucker—with such skill and heart that we couldn’t be more grateful. Sid, our senior pup, needs a gentle touch and a predictable routine, and Kimberly handled him with incredible patience and compassion. She made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and never rushed, which gave us total peace of mind. Tucker, on the other hand, is full of energy and curiosity, and Kimberly matched his enthusiasm with fun walks, playtime, and lots of affection. It’s rare to find someone who can adapt so seamlessly to two very different dogs, but Kimberly did it with ease. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear from the photos that both Sid and Tucker felt safe and loved. We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a sitter who’s not only reliable and professional, but also deeply caring. She’s a true dog whisperer!”
“Always thankful to know Rudy is safe and happy with Sarah M. He is happy and healthy when we p/u Rudy. Rudy likes his vacations with Sarah every time he goes.Thanks Sarah”
“Pat took great care of my Gracie. She sent regular photos & was patient with Gracie’s wild moods. She has a lovely home & a nice fenced backyard. Her dog was playful & a good companion for mine. Thank you Pat!”
“I think we found our new sitter! She was excellent. She accommodated my pet’s last-minute request and provided great care for him. She even provided daily updates, and he had a great time.”
“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Ashli was amazing! She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week which was so reassuring. It was clear that our puppy was treated like family and had a wonderful time during her stay. We would absolutely use Ashli again in the future and highly recommend her to others!”

She was so quick to reply and sent so many pictures of the cats during her drop in visits and i could tell they felt safe and comfortable around her! She took very great care of our pets and I will absolutely book her again!”
“Taylor is absolutely amazing! Both of my cats warmed up to her instantly and gave her love and cuddles, even my more timid girl. She shared amazing detailed updates and plenty of pictures and videos which kept my mind at ease while I was away! We will 100000% be using Taylor again and could not recommend her more. 😊”
“Emmanuel was amazing! After another sitter canceled last minute on us, he jumped in to help us. He was very responsive and was very kind. He did wonderful with our two cats. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Catie was wonderful. She got back to me when our trip was very last minute. Our first time having someone come to the house to care for our kitty since we adopted and I couldn’t be happier. The communication was great and the pictures awesome.”
About: I have taken care of my own personal dogs throughout their lifespan from puppies to mature dogs. I am held at a high regard in my neighborhood as a dog sitter who is able to maintain a schedule, give sufficient playtime, and follow personal instructions accordingly. During the summer I am always available at home where I am able to give maximum attention to the pets. During college school season I am home on the weekends, Tuesdays, and Thursdays all day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I will be gone from around 7 am to about 3 pm. I have a fenced in back yard of about half an acre that does have a pool. If your baby loves to swim they are more than welcome to. If water is an issue I can easily walk them on a leash. I have 2 golden doodles that are extremely friendly and crate trained. I have dog beds your fur baby can sleep on! My neighborhood is very small and safe so I can take them on plenty of walks.
“Celia was fantastic! Our cats loved her, even our shy cat. She gave our old cat pills and eye drops, sent lots of fun photos of the cats every day, and took in packages that arrived while we were away. Celia was quickly responsive to all texts and very sweet when we did out meet and greet. We will definitely use her the next time we travel. We highly recommend her!”
“Kye took great care of my cat! She was super thoughtful and made everything easy. She sent me lots of photos, and it really helped me feel at ease. I’m really grateful and would totally recommend her!”
“Molly is wonderful! She really cares about animals and it will show when she cares for your pets! She was so great with my cats and gave me detailed daily reports on how well they were doing. She's kind, caring, and very positive which is refreshing. She got my cats to really warm up to her and I have already booked her again for another trip. If you hire her, I'm sure you will be more than happy!”
“We are so happy to have found Ailen and Rolando. Our cats (as before with other caregivers) were having issues adjusting to their stay (not eating, hiding,etc.); Ailen was so sweet and patient with them, eventually getting even our most shy kitty not only to eat but be affectionate. Colby eventually warms up to everyone, Tuffy is a recluse around anyone outside our home. Our cats love Ailen and Rolando after only a week with them. We had complete peace of mind and would enthusiastically recommend them.”
About: I have take care of my close friends cat multiple times. I had my own cat growing up and have a cat with my college roommate who I take care of all the time! I love taking care of cats and dogs.

“Olena is just wonderful. Upon meeting her for the first time - we felt almost like family. Lovely home snd yard, put dogs were very happy there. I would highly recommend Olena. We will definitely use her again,”
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
About: I've always had pets of my own or in my care; from my childhood golden retriever mix to the cats that have allowed me in "their" home, to working as a caretaker in a Georgia county animal shelter and fostering kittens, puppies, and adult dogs through Athens Canine Rescue, animals make me happy. . I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs, either in my house or yours. While I don't offer training, I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, fear aggression, and resource guarding, and am happy to accommodate your pet in whatever way he/she needs. I'm excited to host your pets in their home away from home. I work full time from home as a data analyst, so your companion will have constant daytime supervision. With about 1 full acre fenced in, my home is secluded, peaceful, and a super place for your friend to spend time. Just let me know what you want for your pet and I'm more than happy to accommodate; in my home, my pets come first!

“This family is absolutely beautiful in every way. Willow loves and approves. I highly recommend, and will be informing any of my small dog friends about Ali. She and her family worked really well with Willow in keeping her content with her separation anxiety and provide the ultimate safety, love, care, and understanding for my fur baby. If you are reading this comment, know this family is worth every penny for daycare and overnight stays so that you can do what you need without worry. I can see what makes her a Star Sitter for sure!”

About: Thank you for considering me, I can’t wait to meet your critter! I have volunteered with Compassion Animal Rescue Endeavor of Tallahassee during all four years of undergrad. Here I assisted with dog training classes, guided socialization of the rescue dogs, and walked dogs regularly. It was a great experience to see rescues come in and to then see them blossom into happy, healthy pets! Additionally, I have volunteered with Jacksonville Humane Society during my summer internship in 2018. In my time in this volunteer position I was trained in both dog and cat handling as well as dog walking techniques. These technical trainings have allowed me to have an increased awareness of behavioral aspects of the animals. I would love to continue this hobby of mine through Rover. I love spending time with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and my training has well prepared me to look after your pet! *you’re first of course, but I am stiff competition! I’m currently working from home full time. My schedule is flexible allowing me to do walks and drop-ins, as well as wifi connected so I am able to stay with your pets full time during your booking. The care provided will depend on the service requested! My goal is to continue their daily routines as seamlessly as possible throughout the booking, so if they’re used to cookies when they get in from a walk & to sleep in the bed, please share!

About: Hi, I’m Charity! Having had animals all my life, I truly have a deep love and respect for them. To this day, one of my most favorite jobs was my very first job in high school at a dog boarding facility a short four wheel drive through our woods. My responsibilities there were to let dogs out, love on, clean/sanitize kennels, feed and administer medications, and clean up the dog yards. I gained so much experience with different breeds while there, which made me fall more in love with dogs specifically. As an adult, my first dog was a West Highland Terrier named Gabby that my then fiancé (now husband) surprised me with. She sadly passed at 14.5 years old in October of 2024. We also have bench bred/English Labradors named Abel & Jett. Jett is the first dog I’ve had that I got involved with dog shows and sports with. He has multiple titles from obedience, dock diving, fast cat, conformation, and hunt tests. I am a stay at home mom which allows me the freedom to be available for your dog majority of the day aside from when I need to run errands. BOARDING: We have a spacious home on a culdesac with a large fenced in backyard. When caring for pets in my home, it is incredibly important to me to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while providing lots of snuggles and play time. Daily updates of how your dog is doing along with pictures are sent to help keep your mind at ease. During a client dog’s stay, they will be on the main floor with our family. We have a basement with access to the backyard complete with a dog room furnished with 3 4ft x 6ft kennels, Kuranda beds, & orthopedic beds that my personal dogs will utilize, and is available for client dogs as well if needed. I also have a baby gate on our laundry room doorway off the kitchen that can be used for client dogs to have their own private space. This allows me to ensure every dog stays safe when not supervised. *I typically only board one client at a time. This allows your dog(s) to get all the attention and, I believe, have an easier transition staying in a new place vs there being multiple dogs from different clients. If a ‘regular’ requests the same dates, I will sometimes make an exception and let both families know there will be an additional dog. With my home set up, I am able to comfortably keep several client dogs separated and will only allow interaction between them with the approval of both families. DROP INS: During drop-in visits, our time is spent going out in their backyard for potty breaks and play, going on walks, getting loved on, and fed if needed. Any quick tidying I can do in the house (vacuuming, mop up if it’s muddy outside, wipe down counters, scoop out a litter box, etc) I am happy to do as well.
“Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!”
About: I've had doggies since I was 8, and I've helped take care of other people's pups since I was 12. I've had lots of experience with the elderly and disabled pups as well. I have had training experience, but am not quite experienced enough to call myself a trainer. If there is training you would like to continue working on with your pups, I will do my absolute best to help in any way I can. Ps. I have a beautiful 10-year-old husky and pointer mix named Skye, she is who you see in the photo! I am a college student with a part-time remote job, so my schedule is very open. I would love a job that would help me get outside more often and spend some time with animals! I am a huge animal lover; Fur babies truly make the world go around! While right now I can't take your fur babies into my home. I have a lot of experience in pet sitting for fur babies in other people's homes, and I will respect any boundaries you set. I completely understand that having a safe person with your animals and in your home is the top priority, and I will do everything I can to make you and your animals feel safe, whether just for walks or longer-term sitting stays.

I know every pet is unique, so I always take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they’re happy and comfortable! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs lots of play and exercise or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing dependable, caring service you can count on! I am currently working at kohls so I am very available for anytime care with a certain amount of notice. I am very flexible with time. I will have a meeting whether virtual or in person and I can do walking, check ins, or over night. I am experienced with giving some meditation as well.
About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
“Diane was amazing, and went above and beyond. My dog seemed to love her. We had a piece of mind knowing that Diane was there for our baby. Definitely recommend Diane and will use her again.”
About: Heya, I go by “Kye” (Kī, sounds like Kai). To me, it’s an honor, when you entrust your pet(s) & home to me. As a pro petsitter since ‘09, including more than 132 furry friends in Cherokee County, you are assured your paws are in good hands. Let’s message to see if we’re a good fit :) Petsitting is my main source of income. My other responsibilities include: a 1st-grader whose other parent helps as needed; plus part-time work that can be done remotely. Safety is my top concern. I’m very aware of doors, locks, latches, leashes, quirks, etc. I look out for the safety of your pets, home, myself (& child if we agree), & those around us. Thankfully I haven’t had any safety issues since I began in ‘09
“Seven and I both love Kathy. She has been a huge help in bridging the gap between my travel and work schedule. She always responds expeditiously and is very professional!”
About: My mom has been a dog sitter for years, so I have seen every color of fur on the couches and floors. I do have 2 cats, 1 senior shih tzu, and a shorkie that has an excessive amount of energy. I recently had a part time job that fit perfectly with my school schedule. This year my school schedule is a little unique and after awhile I felt over worked. I chose to work with animals because I like their presence, and it doesn’t feel like a job. I have 4 animals that live in my house. 2 cats, and 2 dogs. It is very organized in my home because we have a routine. When I come into a clients home I do what’s best for their pets, and if possible stick to their routine.
About: Hey everyone! My name is Mark and I’m a total dog lover. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I started doing house sitting and dog walking when I was 16. I also worked at a feed and seed store, so I have some knowledge on animal nutrition. I work part time at a local sober living community and do some other work from home. Most of the time, I will be available. I will check in and send you at least 2 pictures of your fur baby everyday. When I’m at your place, I will follow every guideline and rule you give me. Your dog will remain the focal point of my attention.

“Always an amazing experience. My two dogs were loved, pampered and had a great time. Thanks for all you did for Tod and Merle I especially appreciate your willingness to keep Merle at the last minute”
“This was a somewhat last-minute request, and I truly lucked out with Cynthia! She made Xavier feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. She sent multiple updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Xavier had an absolute blast during his stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Angie eas amazing with our dog. She showed him lots of love and care. She was flexible with us when our travel plans changed. We will definitely want to use her again.”
“Leaving Dash with Emmanuel makes me feel relaxed when I am away. Dash always comes home happy and exhausted. He has a vacation when we leave him there. And he loves it!”
“Just wanted to get on here and say I highly recommend Reyna and her husband, our story is a bit different, you see we have, my husband and I , a cane corso mix with pit male dog Moses. . He’s my baby and my what our kids call my empty nester dog lol. He follows me everywhere and he’s the biggest cuddle bug, he sleeps at my feet you get the point…he’s my baby. So when we decided to take our adult kids and grandkids to Tybee Island for the week, we started looking at where to board him since he’s never been on a trip that far away and the house we had rented had a policy on bully, big dog breeds. We had boarded him before, with a different company, 2 times before. The second time though when we picked him up he was acting very skittish, he was cowed down, his nails were jagged and the lady at the desk said he had had diarrhea, which they never told me when I called for a update. Needless to say I was upset and so when looking for a boarder this time we were very cautious, and concerned. I read all the reviews on Reyna on Rover and I told my husband I like this one. We met with Reyna and her husband and Moses done so good, he ran the yard, played fetch , met their other dog and seemed so content. They went over how they hade separate sections for the dogs to play in, the kennels, we felt so good bout them. Dec 26 we ended up running late to drop off Moses before our trip so all the other dogs that they were boarding was outside, but Moses got anxious bout all the barking, Reyna and her husband took Moses into the kennel and assured us that they would bring him out, after getting all the other dogs back in, to acclimate him. Bring out several dogs at a time. They said they would update us. So after talking to them a bit and feeling better about leaving him, we drove back to Blue Ridge. Reyna ended up calling me a couple hours later and asked how to get Moses back in the house, that he was nervous, and anxious and he wouldn’t come to her. She had tried for over 30 minutes before she called me. I told her some stuff to try, when I called back she said it wasn’t working that he was just very scared acting. She also had I think it was her sister that’s a trainer, trying to get him to come to them, they sit in the ground with him, she told me that she knew someone that could come by our house to check on him but I didn’t wanna leave him at our house that long. So I called our vacation rental company explained what was going on, thankfully they made an exception with a bigger pet deposit and I told Reyna just to leave him alone and we were on our way to get him. When we pulled up, he came running up to us, Reyna said he was a different dog when we got there, he sit while they petted him, and put his leash on, the kids were petting him. She and her sister kept apologizing and saying they tried everything to get him to come to them but he just kept running away and running around. I am super grateful that she called me instead of just putting him in the kennel and leaving him there. She was genuinely worried bout him instead of just making money off of him and for that we do recommend her and her husband for boarding. Her husband called to check up on us and Moses the next day, and he apologized that Moses wasn’t able to stay and how they tried so hard to get him acclimated. I said it was all good, that Im glad they called me. That meant so much to us that they cared so much. He’s my baby and I wouldn’t want him to be miserable. So Moses got to go on a beach vacation, he did amazing on the ride down and back and he made new friends wherever we went while we were there.”
“Karen took excellent care of Molly. I got regular updates and pictures. Molly looked super happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and have her sit Molly again.”
“Charity was absolutely incredible with my lab and golden who stayed with her for 6 days. I was very nervous using Rover for the first time and as soon as I met Charity, she eased all my fears. She has so much experience with her dogs, as do her adorable children and they were so sweet with them! She sent me a lot of beautiful photos to ease my mind while we were away and handled my lab throwing up on the second to last day with such grace like a pro. My dogs were so welcomed and relaxed into their home very quickly. My golden takes a lot of supplements and Charity was so precise to even notice that I left one of the supplements off my instructions and she messaged me to confirm. She was extremely responsive and communicative through the entire process from my inquiry just a week and an half before our trip until even after we got home checking in on my lab. She’s amazing!!! I would 1000% recommend Charity to anyone looking for a caring and kind pet sitter who will treat them like her own. I would love to book with Charity again in the future for any short trips we take!”

“Jennifer has been very accommodating with taking care of my dog. She made sure my pup is comfortable and followed all my requests as to feeding and walking. She kept me informed how my dog was doing. Needless to say, it’s hard to find a person you can trust with your dog and Jennifer is the one. So grateful.”
