Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ellenwood
“My Kasper was so loved and cared for. Trinise was the perfect host and her daughter made my baby her new best friend. I cannot say enough good things about the care he received. My dog has a new surrogate family when we need care. 🥰❤️❤️❤️🥰”
“She was very responsive, super lenient on when you need to pickup and drop off, and best part I could tell my dog was loved. She definitely cares about animals and sends pictures throughout the trip as well. Would definitely book again!”
“First off let me start off by saying if you are looking for someone to love and care for your pet, Serinette is the one for you. I was so on the edge when it came down to my baby Draco whom is a 7lb miniature schnauzer being cared for by someone other than myself. She eased my mind, she kept me inform on how he was doing, she also sent pictures and videos which I loved. I was glad to know that he was ok and he really enjoyed himself. Serinette made him feel right at home, its always a pleasure to find someone who loves and cares for your pet as much as you do. Serinette you are truly a blessing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart... ???”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would. Hanifah was absolutely amazing and extremely caring for my dog Feisty. Feisty is disabled and Hanifah handled her with so much love, that my dog did not want to come back home with me. Lol. She literally ran to me said hello and ran back into the house. Hanifah had to pick her up and bring her out. Lol. Her family was awesome and they all did so much together and she sent pictures of Feisty everywhere in the home daily (no wonder she didn't want to come back to our lonely home. Lol). Hanifah was way beyond what I imagined and I look forward to booking with her again very soon. ❤❤❤”
“I love Jessica. I admit I was nervous leaving my Bugsy with a new dog sitter but she quickly put my mind at ease. Jessica is a DOG PERSON. Her actions shows she not only take care of pets professionally but personally. She was very professional and informative of your pet daily care. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day just to let me know he was doing okay. I am happy and pleased with Jessica's care and I plan to use her awesome services in the future. Thanks Jessica for treating my Bugsy like he was your own puppy.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ruth! From the moment I met her, I felt reassured about leaving my little fur baby in her care. I was initially concerned because my pup can be quite the handful, but Ruth quickly proved to be my personal dog whisperer. My dog gravitated toward her almost immediately, which was a huge relief for me. It was clear that Ruth has a natural way with animals, understanding their needs and behavior effortlessly. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication. Ruth was extremely responsive, sending me regular updates and adorable pictures that allowed me to stay connected and informed about how my dog was doing. I never felt anxious or unsure during my time away, thanks to her dedication. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals and provides outstanding service, look no further than Ruth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. My little one and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”
“She took great care of my baby! She sent pictures and had quick communication. She gave Pluto the extra attention she needed and plenty of outside time. I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries.”
“Kim was an awesome sitter for Samson while I was away. She was very communicative, sent photos ans was attentive to Samson's needs especially because he just got his post open cone off. I will definitely work with her again when we need pup care. Thanks so much Kim! ?”
“Pablo & Sybil seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed their holiday and it was sweet that Canvas (Anais’s dog) seemed to want them to stay. When I got home, they were not famished or overly thirsty, meaning they were well cared for. Highly recommend & will book again. Thank you!”
“Glenn was great, our two dogs were a little nervous when I dropped them off but after their two day stay they didn’t want to leave. They ran back into his house. They were happy and smell great. If I need a sitter again no doubt I will use Glenn again.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She provided pictures as well as sent updates throughout his stay. I will be booking again as soon as I’m done with this review. Hoping to have her as my regular.”
“Isabel is amazing, she took great care of our dog, she did really extra and above, she would share pictures every day so I was in peace knowing my Peanut was in good hands!!! Thank you very much Isabel, I would definitely bring him back and recommend to anyone who needs a puppy sitter! Also she lives close by the Atlanta Airport so this was a plus that we could leave our dog and pick him up as soon as we were back from our trip, thank you so much Isabel!!!”
“My dog seemed to have really enjoyed his stay and I especially love that Viet provides a warm home away from home feeling for the dogs. My dog will definitely be returning.”
“Montel was truly amazing! Pictures everyday ! My dog look happy and well taken care of ! It was last minute booking and I appreciated the consideration and professionalism in Montel!!! Definitely a person I’ll rebook with any day !!!”
“Alannah was amazing with my pup! She kept me updated throughout the whole weekend and went out of her to make sure Sadie was comfortable. I will definitely book her again🥰”

Your paw babies will be loved on, catered to, and have a large open space fenced in yard to roam and play. I’m currently transitioning into a new career, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies. 🐾 Because I am home, your pup will have plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout their stay. Im able to be flexible with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and whatever routine helps your dog feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay feel less like boarding and more like a fun little vacation with family! ❤️🐶 I treat every paw baby like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I will follow their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. They’ll have plenty of love and attention, plus supervised access to my large, securely fenced yard to roam and play. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being spoiled while you’re away! 🐶💕

“This is our second time using Darayell’s services for drop ins and she is wonderful! We are already in the process of a setting a third booking. We’re so glad to have found her and our cats are very comfortable with her. Even our timid and shy cat opens up to her, only a handful of people can say that they pet her and with Darayell she allows it. Thank you Darayell for being patient, attentive and keeping our other door dashing cat inside lol.”
“Katlyn is a superstar! She is very easy to communicate with, flexible, and responsive. We will most definitely be booking with her again and would 12/10 recommend her to a friend.”
“Tavia was a wonderful sitter for my fur babies! She was professional, punctual, and kept me updated throughout the entire time I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond—even taking the time to clean up after the dogs in the yard while she was caring for them. What really stood out to me was how quickly my oldest girl, Wynter, warmed up to her. Wynter is VERY leery of new people and usually takes her time getting comfortable, but she warmed right up to Tavia and even gave her a handshake, which is basically Wynter’s way of letting me know, “She’s good people!” 😂🐾 I came home to happy pups and everything well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Tavia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter, and I will definitely use her again. Five stars!”
“Serinette was absolutely HEAVEN SENT! I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and tender person to leave my Lucie Pearl with. She went above and BEYOND to make her stay comfortable and I would trust her 100 times over if I had the chance to do it again . Book her NOW!!!”
“Thank you so much Paula for your kindness and sweet nature with our old girl! We had to say goodbye to Gali around Christmas time, but we appreciate your caring for her always making time for her. - Sam and Oliver”
“Oh my goodness! I would give Sherry 10 stars! She was beyond awesome. Our cats absolutely loved her so that really eased our minds while being away. So glad we chose Rover and we're able to meet her!!”
“Destiny was exactly what I hoped for in a sitter. She instantly made me feel confident leaving my cat alone for the first time while I went on vacation knowing she'd be there to feed him, play with him and overall be my eyes and ears while also being incredibly communicative. I cannot recommend her highly enough and the next time I am going out of town, she will be my first call for pet sitting services.”

About: I’m a dependable caregiver who takes pride in providing safe, structured, and loving care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort, and I’m always gentle and respectful with every animal I meet. You can count on me for punctuality, clear updates, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. As a dog lover and owner, I possess expertise in pet care. I volunteer in an animal hospital called Columbia Belvedere Animal Hospital, where I shadow the vet and perform other tasks like water, walking , bathing, administering medicine, cleaning , and assisting with front desk work. I am home throughout the entire week and ready to take care of your amazing pet. I am available whenever you need me. I am very excited to be your dog's caretaker. I make pet care a natural part of my weekly routine. I’m already used to structuring my days around responsibility, so adding walks, feedings, playtime, and check‑ins fits smoothly into my schedule. I plan ahead, stay organized, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop‑ins, or weekend stays, I’m able to give pets the time, patience, and energy they need to feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Aaniyah was great with my babies ! She communicated very well with me regarding the visits and treated my babies with love and care. I was at ease on my trip knowing my babies loved their sitter and was in good hands. Definitely recommend Aaniyah!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the majority of my life, starting with my family's pets and continuing with my own senior dog, Minnie, whom I've cared for for 13 years. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of a pet's needs throughout all life stages. What truly sets me apart is my specific experience with senior care, including the comfort and skill to administer medication like eye drops and pills. I am also confident and capable of handling large, energetic breeds, as I regularly care for my sister's two 70-pound Huskies. I believe in a calm and patient approach to every pet I meet, earning their trust and making them feel comfortable and safe with me. Since I work part-time, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can accommodate a range of times for dog walks and drop-in visits, and my flexibility also makes me available for last-minute requests. Pet care is a priority for me, and my schedule is built to ensure I can provide consistent and timely care for every client. When caring for pets, whether it's for a drop-in visit or a dog walk, my first priority is to follow the owner's specific instructions and routine exactly as they are laid out. Before starting, I will ask about your pet's routine, personality, and how they respond to different environments to ensure a stress-free and positive experience. For drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet has fresh food and water, gets a potty break, and has some quality one-on-one time, whether it's through play, cuddles, or just companionship. For dog walks, I focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience, matching the pace to your dog's needs and energy level while being attentive to our surroundings. I believe clear communication with the owner is key, and I will be sure to provide updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I grew in a mini zoo. We had cats, dogs, rabbits, pigeons, roosters, monkeys, turtles and civets just to name a few. I love animals in general and think take care of them makes the world a better place. I have a Job that allows me to work from home so I am always available to check on your fur baby several times during the day! I also live about 20 min from the airport so even if I'm far from you and you need to travel and need boarding, my place is very convenient for drop off and pick up from the airport. I have a fenced yard if your fur baby needs to run or walk around and play! I can crate them as well if there is a need for it.
“Thank you Cassandra for making Tashi feel welcome....he looked very happy in the photos. Since he will have an over night stay next week, daycare was a good way for him to get to know you and your place.”
“Alannah H is absolutely wonderful with my fur child Yana. She treats Yana as if she is her own. I constantly get photos and communications regarding Yana. It is a relief to know that I found someone that I can just and someone that treats my fur child as if she was her own. Thank you Alannah!”

About: Fun loving pet owner and pet lover living in Decatur, Georgia. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I own one dog and I’m an aunty to two others, as well as god parents to many other pets. Offering boarding and sitting in my comfortable, bright and pet friendly home. I grew up with many pets and I’ve always had a fondness for our furry friends. I’d say I have 30 years experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits. I’m more skilled with small to medium sized trained dogs. I have a backyard that pets can play in once leashed and I take all pets for walks in the neighborhood, weather and their ability permitted. Safety first always! Looking forward to hanging with some cool furry friends. I work from home and I have a little dog of my own so your pet is never alone and has a friend to lounge in the sun and eat treats with. I also have a large crate for if your dog requires crate time or if I have to briefly run an errand. My home is a soft space and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. I do have a ring camera and doors are always closed and locked for added safety. I always accompany my pet friends for leashed discoveries in my backyard and on neighborhood walks to greet the neighbors.
About: Hello! I grew up in New Jersey and have called Georgia home for the last 8 years. As early as I can remember, I’ve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I bond easily with most animals because I am a kind, calm, and confident person. My friends call it a nurturing spirit because countless times I have been to a gathering or party and someone's pet decided that I was their new best friend. When I started living on my own in Atlanta, I decided it was time to adopt my first pets as an adult. I adopted two seniors who still had so much love to share. Their names were Brittanica (the cat) and Roberta (the dog). Both were diagnosed with chronic illnesses that required IV fluids and maintenance medications that had to be given on particular schedules. With advice from their care team, I made sure that each interaction for treatment was a positive experience. Sometimes I pulled out all the stops with treats, bundling them in a blanket, and setting up a soothing environment. If your pet requires such treatments, written notes would be appreciated so I can reference the process as much as possible. My current pets are younger than my first two and keep me on my toes! We have a lot of fluffy fun as Stellaluna is a sweetheart, longhaired domestic cat and Sir Waddles Von Wigglebutt is a very friendly, laid back corgi. We have a good routine where the first thing we do when we wake up is pre-breakfast cuddle time! There have been times where we’ve needed to be flexible and eat breakfast first though. My day-to-day is structured so that I can get steps in with Waddles and I can set up enrichment activities for his working dog nature. Often you’ll see us with the Atlanta Corgi group so he can be a social butterfly. If the weather isn’t great or I have a deadline to meet at work, he’ll stay home and do puzzles. Other hobbies that fit in my schedule include playing DND or board games, doing dog training classes with Waddles, and watching TV with Stella. When it comes to taking care of your pets, I will make sure that we keep to the routine they’re most familiar with too! We’ll do videos and pics as much as we can during the visit. My goal with each visit is that your pet is treated well and feels like they’re getting their own vacation even though they’ll be missing you. I work in the film industry in post production and I work remotely from home. I will have plenty of time to play and check on your furry friend for scheduled appointments. When I do not have an active contract, I enjoy taking longer walks and playing with your pet extra with your pet. To guarantee more than 30 minutes of play time, please book my 60 min visits. Safety is a top priority when I am taking care of animals. Regardless of how well trained a pet is, they are animals and are unpredictable at times. For that reason, when walking your dog, I will make sure that it is on leash unless we are in your fenced yard. If your dog is staying over with me, a crate is necessary so they have their own space where they’re safe when I’m not home. I do have a cat so if your dog is not cat friendly, we will not be able to work together. I believe in strong communication and transparency. While with your fuzzy friend, I will send you updates and photos through the app!
About: We are retired known in our neighborhood as Dog Mom & Dad because we take care of stray dogs, find their owner, and sometimes take them in if we cannot find their owner. For over 40 years we have had one or more dogs, all from rescue centers or from our local vet who will refer us to owners who are no longer able to care for their furry buddy. Our goal is to replicate the schedule and environment your pet is accustomed to, give the love and attention that your pet gets at home and reinforce the training you have implemented. Safety and security are important to us; consequently, we have developed an intake process that assures other pets in our care have the proper vaccinations to protect our other “guest.” Therefore, a pre-stay consultation is REQUIRED to ensure that the appropriate vaccinations are current, and any special needs are identified. We live in a quiet neighborhood, with very little traffic. We have a completely fenced back yard with cameras to record all activity. We are both retired and assure you that your pet will be supervised twenty-four by seven. Text, pictures, and videos will be sent daily. For boarding in home stays, if you drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening a daycare charge will be for the last day. Hours: Drop-offs and pick-ups accepted at our home from 7 am to 7 pm, Monday-Friday, 8 am to 5 pm on Saturday and 4 pm to 6 pm Sunday. We will transport your dog (6-mile radius from our home only). Messages returned between 7 am and 7 pm. Meet and greets in our home scheduled between 10 am and 5 pm. We’re both retired and have plenty of time for playtime, hugs and cuddles. We're available to provide short trips and outside walks during the day. We have a completely fenced in back yard and have plenty of time to keep your fur baby happy. Our furry friends are free to roam around as they please. Your pet will be fed at least twice a day (morning & afternoon) unless on a specific diet/regimen that will be followed.

“Rufus and I were very suddenly put together by fate it would seem. I desperately needed help with his care to compensate for my schedule. Aneisha has been an amazing help in getting Rufus acclimated to his new home and routine. Simply excellent.”
About: Hello! Your dogs are in good care with me. I’ve been around dogs since I was a toddler. My first dog was a rat terrier who I had since I was 6 and lived until she was 16. She’s the dog in the photos. I have worked at a dog boarding facility for around 2 years. I am also a certified dog groomer since 2020. I’ve been around so many dogs with different personalities. It doesn’t matter if your dog is anxious, aggressive or just a happy dog. I’ll be happy to take care of them (: I also offer care of smaller animals for an additional $10 a day. I have experience in taking care of hamsters, turtles, crabs and fish. Smaller animals will be locked in the office room where dogs have no access to. What I have: A medium sized crate, toys, pads, bowls, a serta dog bed and lots of treats. I also have a ring camera to monitor your little one in case I have to leave them alone. If your dog is a runner, please inform me so I can put an airtag on their collar. I also offer nail trimmings for $10 and baths for $35. Baths include nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and deshedding. If interested, please message me. IMPORTANT: I only book one dog per day so make sure to book ahead. First come, first serve. I am a stay at home mother and a part time graduate student. I am available to take care of pets all the time since I spend most of my time at home. I only dog sit one dog per day!

I am trained in administrating medicine via subcutaneous injection, transdermal medication, and oral medication.
“My dog has some behavior/anxiety issues, and Manuela has been very patient and understanding in working through this with him. I very much appreciate having someone experienced and knowledgeable helping take care of my pet.”
About: I create a warm and welcoming space for dogs where they can feel at home! Your furry friend is free to roam around my house alongside my own pups, enjoying the company and playtime. They’ll also have the chance to run and explore in my spacious, private 6ft fenced yard, with a handy doggy door for easy in-and-out access whenever they want! I provide constant fresh water, and they can interact and socialize with other dogs, having a blast during their stay. Plus, they'll sleep comfortably in a cool, air-conditioned environment. Your pup will be well taken care of and have a fantastic time here! Retired, available all day, full-time, seven days a week now. I’m available weekends holidays, day and/ or night. There is an extra charge if you want to drop off before 8 AM. I prefer drop off the night before and pick or pick up the next day. I treat all furbabies that enter my home like they’re my children each individual. I get to know their personality and judge them accordingly I’d like to get down on their level and connect with them to eye each dog has its own personality.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 14 years now, including my own and many friends, neighbors, and family. I work as a veterinarian. I’m willing to bathe your pets in addition to their basic needs. I know how to administer injections and other medications your pet may need. I take my currents pets out 3 times a day, and feed twice daily. I like taking them to parks once to twice a week if the owner is okay with that. I would take them out as many times as you see fit before and after class. If your pet is social they can play with my 10.5 year old and 3yr old. Both are very dog friendly and easy going. I do request them meeting outside before I bring them in. I do not believe in leaving your pets with mine while I am gone. Therefore the will be seperate when I must leave.
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.
“Mitchell was a natural with Sunny! He was comfortable walking our big guy, had great communication, excellent availability, and always on time. We know Sunny has a friend for walks when Mitchell is around. :)”
About: I understand animal behavior, studied force free training and finally became a certified dog trainer earlier this year. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.

About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the majority of my life, starting with my family's pets and continuing with my own senior dog, Minnie, whom I've cared for for 13 years. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of a pet's needs throughout all life stages. What truly sets me apart is my specific experience with senior care, including the comfort and skill to administer medication like eye drops and pills. I am also confident and capable of handling large, energetic breeds, as I regularly care for my sister's two 70-pound Huskies. I believe in a calm and patient approach to every pet I meet, earning their trust and making them feel comfortable and safe with me. Since I work part-time, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can accommodate a range of times for dog walks and drop-in visits, and my flexibility also makes me available for last-minute requests. Pet care is a priority for me, and my schedule is built to ensure I can provide consistent and timely care for every client. When caring for pets, whether it's for a drop-in visit or a dog walk, my first priority is to follow the owner's specific instructions and routine exactly as they are laid out. Before starting, I will ask about your pet's routine, personality, and how they respond to different environments to ensure a stress-free and positive experience. For drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet has fresh food and water, gets a potty break, and has some quality one-on-one time, whether it's through play, cuddles, or just companionship. For dog walks, I focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience, matching the pace to your dog's needs and energy level while being attentive to our surroundings. I believe clear communication with the owner is key, and I will be sure to provide updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.

About: Since i was younger I’ve always loved dogs. Whether my own or volunteering at a shelter my passion has always been animals <3 When i heard about Rover i was ecstatic. Having the chance to meet more fur babies , getting to know each personality, and learning more everyday is something i am looking forward to. I do work full time but an early morning shift (4am-12pm) I have the rest of my day, why not fill it doing something i love? Which is pet care! I take pride in animals and often feel as though i can connect with them better than humans! Other than working in the morning my day is free! I live in an apartment which does not have a yard, but there is a park less than a 2 minute walk from where i stay! My neighborhood is dog friendly and does require leashes on every dog! I can crate your dog if needed, and make adjustments as requested.

“My Kasper was so loved and cared for. Trinise was the perfect host and her daughter made my baby her new best friend. I cannot say enough good things about the care he received. My dog has a new surrogate family when we need care. 🥰❤️❤️❤️🥰”
“She was very responsive, super lenient on when you need to pickup and drop off, and best part I could tell my dog was loved. She definitely cares about animals and sends pictures throughout the trip as well. Would definitely book again!”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would. Hanifah was absolutely amazing and extremely caring for my dog Feisty. Feisty is disabled and Hanifah handled her with so much love, that my dog did not want to come back home with me. Lol. She literally ran to me said hello and ran back into the house. Hanifah had to pick her up and bring her out. Lol. Her family was awesome and they all did so much together and she sent pictures of Feisty everywhere in the home daily (no wonder she didn't want to come back to our lonely home. Lol). Hanifah was way beyond what I imagined and I look forward to booking with her again very soon. ❤❤❤”
“I love Jessica. I admit I was nervous leaving my Bugsy with a new dog sitter but she quickly put my mind at ease. Jessica is a DOG PERSON. Her actions shows she not only take care of pets professionally but personally. She was very professional and informative of your pet daily care. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day just to let me know he was doing okay. I am happy and pleased with Jessica's care and I plan to use her awesome services in the future. Thanks Jessica for treating my Bugsy like he was your own puppy.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ruth! From the moment I met her, I felt reassured about leaving my little fur baby in her care. I was initially concerned because my pup can be quite the handful, but Ruth quickly proved to be my personal dog whisperer. My dog gravitated toward her almost immediately, which was a huge relief for me. It was clear that Ruth has a natural way with animals, understanding their needs and behavior effortlessly. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication. Ruth was extremely responsive, sending me regular updates and adorable pictures that allowed me to stay connected and informed about how my dog was doing. I never felt anxious or unsure during my time away, thanks to her dedication. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals and provides outstanding service, look no further than Ruth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. My little one and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”
“She took great care of my baby! She sent pictures and had quick communication. She gave Pluto the extra attention she needed and plenty of outside time. I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries.”
“Glenn was great, our two dogs were a little nervous when I dropped them off but after their two day stay they didn’t want to leave. They ran back into his house. They were happy and smell great. If I need a sitter again no doubt I will use Glenn again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Eli! He had a ball playing with his new friends. I loved all of the cute action play shots you sent of Eli. The BEST! Thank you for making his first boarding easy.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She provided pictures as well as sent updates throughout his stay. I will be booking again as soon as I’m done with this review. Hoping to have her as my regular.”
“Ms. Wendy was very gentle with my furry daughter, Na’vi. She was very communicative with me and sent me pictures everyday and updates on how Na’vi was doing. She is very professional and straightforward with the way she provides her service but makes sure we felt comfortable before Na’vi’s stay.”
“My dog seemed to have really enjoyed his stay and I especially love that Viet provides a warm home away from home feeling for the dogs. My dog will definitely be returning.”
“Logan was a great sitter. He was very responsive, professional, and took good care of my senior pup. He sent pictures during the stay and communicated any behavioral observations since this my dog’s first time staying with Logan’s family. Great experience overall and I plan to rebook soon.”
“Meredith was the BEST sitter we could have asked for! She communicated with us throughout Snoop’s stay and was always very responsive. She truly went above and beyond—even washing Snoop’s clothes and diapers before we arrived to pick him up. That was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much to us. Snoop is a senior dog, so leaving him with someone we trust is especially important to us. He usually runs straight to us and is ready to get back home, but this time it was completely different. When we got in the car to leave, he rested his head on my shoulder and looked back through the window at Meredith’s house. 🥹 That told us everything we needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was there. We feel so lucky to have found Meredith and would absolutely book with her again. If we travel out of town again, there’s no question that Snoop will be staying with her!”
“Katie took excellent care of Hazel! She sent me daily updates and pictures. Before Hazel’s stay, we had the chance to meet, and Katie ensured that she was fully informed about Hazel’s needs and personality.”
“Asante was very friendly and communicated well throughout the entire time my dog stayed with her. She took care of him and made sure to send lots of pics and updates the whole time! She was also very flexible if plans slightly changed which was appreciated! I would definitely have her watch my fur baby again.”
“Montel was truly amazing! Pictures everyday ! My dog look happy and well taken care of ! It was last minute booking and I appreciated the consideration and professionalism in Montel!!! Definitely a person I’ll rebook with any day !!!”
“Chris was a great sitter for my Ruby girl. She is a GSP with a ton of energy to expend. He offered lots of daily exercise for her. She quickly made herself right at home. Lots of fun photos and videos, showing she was having the best time and getting all her energy out. She came home happy and healthy”
