“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”

“Tracey was great, she took wonderful care of my baby, giving him attention, playing with him, and I got daily updates while away. I definitely recommend Tracey to watch over your fur baby.”

“Tara is an amazing sitter! She took good care of my cat and sent me frequent updates during my trip. She’s super friendly and lovely ☺️☺️ I’ll definitely book her again for my upcoming trips since I know Toro will be in good hands 🥰”

“Stephanie was amazing with our fur baby Kobe! I would highly recommend her to anyone who chooses to board with her. She sent me multiple updates consistently throughout the day (with pictures) and reassured me that’s everything was going great! ♥️ I would definitely rebook with her! Highly recommend booking with her when you leave for your next trip!”

“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”


“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I bring patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and I have had several dogs of my own. I have been with several different types as well as aggressive and deaf dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable from start to finish. I am currently a mental health therapist working Monday through Thursdays. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I accommodate to whatever needs your dog may have or what your preference is as an owner due to my schedule being flexible. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do like to go on walks. I typically like the dog to stay at their home and I come there so they are more comfortable in their own environments. I do have a crate at my house if needed. I don’t mind keeping them with me as well :)
“Tammy was very responsive and even sent daily pictures of my girls (Helen and Heidi) to me while I was on vacation! Highly recommend to anyone in the ATL/north ATL to book with her! Thanks Tammy, -Reid”

“Hershey had a great time staying with Lindsay! She ran around in the yard the whole day and played fetch with their daughter. She has been passed out since we picked her up. She loved it there!”

“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”

“Thank you, Frida, for taking such good care of our dog while on vacation. She is the best; she kept us updated every day even though we were distraught since it was our first time using Rover, but after the first day, we knew she was in good hands. We will hire her again. Great job ??”


“They were so kind, and so great with our Frank! We loved the pictures and video, and know he was very well taken care of. We reccomended them to our friends! Thank you so much!!”

“Tevin was great. He took care of my pup O.J. for boarding, and when I came to pick him up, O.J. honestly didn’t want to leave. It was clear he felt comfortable and well taken care of. I’d recommend Tevin to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again.”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Sushma take care of my two dogs, Bubba and Yogii, and I can't express how thrilled I am with her service! From the moment we met, I could tell that Sushma has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, understanding their unique personalities and needs. Throughout the duration of her pet-sitting, Sushma was incredibly attentive and responsible. She followed my instructions to the letter, ensuring that Bubba and Yogii were fed on schedule, took their daily walks, and received plenty of playtime. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my pups were in excellent hands. Sushma’s warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for my dogs to bond with her. They seemed so happy and content when I returned home, and I could tell they had been well cared for. It’s clear that Sushma is passionate about her work and goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Sushma as a pet sitter! Her professionalism, kindness, and love for animals have truly made her a standout caregiver for Bubba and Yogii. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs! Thank you, Sushma, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members!”

“Kerri was the best! We really got lucky finding her. She was kind, & welcoming. Took awesome care of taking care of our dog, Max. Always responded to our texts, and sent photos of Max to us. I’m glad there are people out there, who care to take of our pets, instead of a kennel. She took Max in like he was her own. Thank you Kerri. ❤️”

“Sky was loved and cared for the entire time. We received pictures daily and was updated on how she was doing. She was apart of the family and was very happy. I’m thankful.”

“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”

“JR and his family are absolutely the best for my dog sitting needs. This is the second time my dog Findley has stayed with JR and both times I arrive back home to a calm happy dog. My dog is quite spoiled and JR is happy following my dogs feeding and treat routine. JR takes him for walks and plays ball with him in the nice fenced in yard. Receiving pictures while I’m on vacation is a wonderful plus that eases my mind while I am missing my dog. JR treats dogs like family and is very responsive when messaging. I highly recommend JR and so thankful to have him take good care of Findley!”

“Gretchen and Marc were the best! Very loving and friendly home to leave your fur baby. They took every effort to know the necessary info to care for Lucy. They sent notes and pics while we were on our trip. Very highly recommend!”

“Lisa took excellent care of my daughters cat, Pixie, while we were away. She was very engaging & provided thoughtful updates on how Pixie was doing, which gave us peace of mind. Administering medication can sometimes be tricky, but Lisa handled it with no issues. I truly appreciate her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”


“Tidarat is a highly motivated pet care worker—I cannot recommend her enough! I needed drop in visits for a couple of days and she help with my 3 cats, and also my cockatiel bird, Tidarat checked in on time of the appointment and maintained communication with me at all times trough the app. When she was done she provided me with a bunch of photos and a detailed message about the visit. I felt so good after she was done because I knew - and could see- that my furry kids were happy :) she is very detailed oriented, and I will for sure hire her again for future drop in visits.”

“Brenda took such good care of our cat!! She even brought in our mail and asked if she could clean anything. She's great at communication, and I can tell our cat loved having her around!!”

“Tara is an amazing sitter! She took good care of my cat and sent me frequent updates during my trip. She’s super friendly and lovely ☺️☺️ I’ll definitely book her again for my upcoming trips since I know Toro will be in good hands 🥰”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Alison! We have three dogs, and she handled them with so much care, attention, and patience—it truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our booking was pretty last minute (only 3–4 days in advance), and she was incredibly accommodating right from the start. When our flight plans changed, she didn’t hesitate to add an extra stop for us, which we appreciated more than we can say. She went above and beyond by bringing treats and toys for our dogs, and it was clear she spent quality time with them—especially outside, which they love. We could tell they were happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. She did an outstanding job, and we will 100% be using her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

“Ben has been going to Yui’s home for many years now. We are so grateful for her special attention to his care. He’s getting older (almost 15 years old) and he always receives a good report. It’s been great to have such a reliable sitter to trust when we need to leave town for a few days.”
“Ryan and his partner are THE BEST. Ryan sent me updates and was an amazing communicator throughout the day while my pups were at his house. I received lots of photos, as well! My babies came home so worn out from their fun day at day care and went straight to sleep. They are extremely high energy, so it takes a lot to wear them out! GORGEOUS house with lots of indoor and outdoor room for the dogs to play on a quiet street. They have a doggy gate as you walk up the stairs to their house as an extra precaution. Their dogs are sweeties too and my pups had a grand time with them. Will definitely be using again. Thank you so much! :)”

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.

About: I have loved animals my entire life and have always had dogs and cats of my own. Since I work from home, I am able to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day, giving them attention, companionship, playtime, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your pet feels happy and secure. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone and will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate boarding and daycare while ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a pet-friendly home where animals can feel relaxed and secure. I always follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. Since I work from home, I can closely monitor pets throughout the day and provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship.

“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”

“How I got so fortunate on a spur of the moment is beyond me. When I tell you we were meant to cross paths today. Our footsteps were guided because he knew I needed her today. Not only did she save me from missing work, but something more personal. This lady has heart that just loves. She is a servant. She loves genuinely. I was having a really rough day, and she cared. A lot. She also knew it was my first time leaving my baby. So she sent pictures and let me know everything they were doing. I will forever trust her to take care of of my babies because I know she treats them with nothing but love, compassion that can only come from a genuine pure heart. I thank you for today and for just being you.”

About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.

About: My name is Christina and I'm 36 years old. There hasn't been a time in my life that I haven't had dogs. I live with my husband and we have two dogs. We have a fenced in yard and tons of toys and frisbees. From June-August, I am home all day (I'm a teacher). My dogs love to make friends big and small and they know all the best places for runs and walks. We live in the Mulberry Park subdivision and walk the trails all the time and put our paws/feet in the river. I love to teach dogs tricks and would love to keep your dog or dogs entertained so you can relax while you're away from them. Thank you for considering me to watch after your pups. - Christina I can try to work with your schedule as much as possible. I work until 3:15 so I have some availability during the months I am teaching (August-May). I have a fenced in yard and will supervise play time and meal time. I’ll make sure they have plenty of water and and potty breaks.
About: Always had dogs in my life, raised them from puppies or as rescues from a kennel or from owners who could no longer keep them, took care of neighbors. Dogs took care of families. Dogs watched my daughters German shepherd, and husky for six months lot of experience. I work part time home most of the day and work close to home live locally very convenient and free most weekends and most holidays I have a big yard almost an acre, a wooden fence. Good for larger dogs. Also have plenty of area inside the yard to walk smaller dogs and have a mixed blue heeler. Almost 4 years old very friendly.

I cared for my senior Shih Tzu until he passed at age 12, and I now have a 5-year-old French Shepherd named Sasha, who is sweet and playful. I have experience with both large and small breeds and am committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furbaby! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’ll be with your pup all day! I provide plenty of playtime and regular potty breaks to keep them happy and comfortable My home is a calm and welcoming space where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. There’s plenty of room to play, cozy spots to rest, and a loving atmosphere to make your pup feel right at home.
About: I’ve always had some kind of pet since I can remember whether that was a fish, frog, shrimp, rabbit, cat, or dog! I LOVE ANIMALS! I am that person at a family gathering/ party hanging out with the pet - not the people! ☺️ I currently have a 14 year old “lab/retriever” (I think part Rottweiler somewhere down the line) that I got from the humane society when she was a puppy - she’s the best part of every day! I’ve taken care of my aunts boxer while she has been out of town (during her heat cycle once) and my other aunts Beta fish! I appreciate the opportunity to take care of the best part of your day! 😊 I am currently working from home and starting my own business Capriluna🌙! I take care of my dog daily so I understand the need of pet care! My dog stays inside and is fed 3 times/day. She is a senior so potty breaks are frequent. She currently is not on any medication but does take joint care medicine daily. When watching my aunts boxer she is fed twice daily and a good bit younger, so her potty breaks are not as often. During her heat cycle, she remained in diapers (obviously except for potty breaks and outside time). Any pets that stay will receive the same amount of care/attention as my own dog. My dog is NOT a social dog and has been alone her whole life and out of respect for her space and comfort, all guest dogs staying over will stay in my office (NEVER in the same area as my dog). They will have separate potty breaks, walks, feeding, attention, etc. Her care and comfort is priority to me and I hope you as pet owners can understand this. Also, crates will need to be provided by the owner for overnight stays (until I can afford to buy one for my clients).
About: I've never met a dog that didn't captivate my heart. As a passionate animal advocate, I'm driven to make a difference. I've even gone the extra mile, chasing a dog down the highway to ensure its safety. My loyal companion of 11 years, a rescue dog, left an indelible mark on my heart when he passed away in February. Though I wish I could rescue every animal in need, I take comfort in knowing that my efforts, no matter how small, can bring about positive change. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with my own dogs, while also caring for the beloved pets of family and friends. The thought of any dog being confined to a boarding cage is unbearable, as I know they're already experiencing separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space that makes them feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I am a real estate agent and have been for 26 years. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide top-notch animal care services, whether in my residence, yours, or simply taking them for a stroll. Whether I am providing pet care in my home or yours, you can be assured that I am delivering companionship and love to your pet while you are away. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I will take your dog for a leashed potty break and a daily walk to ensure they receive adequate exercise.
About: My genuine love and passion for animals started since I was 10 pet sitting in my neighborhood. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, providing personalized care and attention. Your pets will be in safe and loving hands with me. I’m a part time student and a part time worker who has an amazing love for animals. Pet care fits into my daily routine around my availability. I adjust my schedule to accommodate clients' needs, whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay. Flexibility is key! I have plenty of toys, treats and space in my home to take care and play with your fluffy friend. I have plenty of time to take them outside and on walks. I also have a shitzu so your pet won’t be lonely at all!
“Heather and her family give me peace of mind knowing that whenever I drop off my dog, they will give him all the love, attention and exercise he needs to be happy. They go above and beyond, nurturing my recently rescued mastiff/lab mix and their toy poodle became his best friend. They are always kind, understanding and respectful towards me as well. My only concern is that sometimes he likes being there more than my apartment 😁”

Thank you Tid for allowing us to enjoy time with our grandchildren without worrying about our little man.”

I normally wouldn’t care for them in my home, it’s always at the other persons home. But I would make sure they are as safe as possible depending on what the other person has for safety like crates, fences, etc. I make sure I do everything I need to do to have the pet have a great time and be safe as well , feel loved and cared for.
About: ME, YOUR FLOOFER, & THE OPEN ROAD (OR TRAIL)!! I am a friendly, trustworthy, and caring person. I have always loved animals and am looking to earn some extra money by helping care for your pets. I am a teacher so I have loads of availability over the summer months. I also plan to be available after school hours and weekends during the school year. Your pets and your home are yours and should be treated as such. I hope to provide the same care and love to what is yours and simply assist you in meeting a need. Thank you for the opportunity to love your pets!
About: I have 5 years of professional animal care. I’ve worked in Veterinary offices and many shelters. Animals are a huge part of my life and I love being around them. I’m great with any kind of animal big or small and any species. I am a down to earth girl who loves animals more than anything. All animals are welcome. Every animal is safe and happy In my care, and I will love them and treat them as my own! I am home full time all day every day and I’m here to help with your babies. Your animals will love me just as much as I will love them! I hope I can make some of you lifetime clients and keep you and your families happy! I am a full time stay at home mom, so your fur babies will get constant love and potty breaks! I never go out longer than a few hours if I have to. I have a fenced in backyard for lots of running around! If your dog requires walks we live in a very big neighborhood that I walk daily with my daughter
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.
About: Ever since I was a baby my household has had more than one dog at a time. I have taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I have never professionally taken care of other dogs but have had much experience with taking care of my own. I can handle taking care of multiple dogs at once (at some point in my household we had 6 dogs at once). With me, you'll never have to worry about your animals because I'll take care of them and give them as much love as I give mine. I am currently a student and I am also working a part-time job; however, I can be very flexible with scheduling and will do whatever it takes to meet your needs as well as your fur babies!
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”


About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
“Amber has been great with walking my dog Mimi and I really appreciate that she has been taking my dog to the park behind my neighborhood. I know Mimi really appreciates it. She always looks so happy in the pictures.”


About: I have had pets my whole life cats, dogs, iguana, chickens, hamster, fish, bunny, a squirrel. With always having pets of my own, my mom worked at an animal hospital that I would be at on Saturdays so I was always around other peoples pets. I am a stay at home mom and need some extra income. I am available pretty much anytime unless one of the kids has an appointment or I have some type of military obligation. I am an animal lover and always just want to snuggle up with some pets. Weather it’s cuddles and pets to play and eating I would love the privilege to care for your fur babies.

“Mikayla is really good with walking my dog and is always diligent with making sure to take pictures and record how many times my dog takes potty breaks. I really appreciate how she is flexible with scheduling too. She also met up with me before I started scheduling with her on a short notice. I'm really happy to have somebody who is really good with dogs. My dog always seems happy when she is getting walked. I highly recommend her.”

“Tracey was great, she took wonderful care of my baby, giving him attention, playing with him, and I got daily updates while away. I definitely recommend Tracey to watch over your fur baby.”

“Tara is an amazing sitter! She took good care of my cat and sent me frequent updates during my trip. She’s super friendly and lovely ☺️☺️ I’ll definitely book her again for my upcoming trips since I know Toro will be in good hands 🥰”

“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”


“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I bring patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and I have had several dogs of my own. I have been with several different types as well as aggressive and deaf dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable from start to finish. I am currently a mental health therapist working Monday through Thursdays. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I accommodate to whatever needs your dog may have or what your preference is as an owner due to my schedule being flexible. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do like to go on walks. I typically like the dog to stay at their home and I come there so they are more comfortable in their own environments. I do have a crate at my house if needed. I don’t mind keeping them with me as well :)
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”


“They were so kind, and so great with our Frank! We loved the pictures and video, and know he was very well taken care of. We reccomended them to our friends! Thank you so much!!”

“Tevin was great. He took care of my pup O.J. for boarding, and when I came to pick him up, O.J. honestly didn’t want to leave. It was clear he felt comfortable and well taken care of. I’d recommend Tevin to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again.”

“Kerri was the best! We really got lucky finding her. She was kind, & welcoming. Took awesome care of taking care of our dog, Max. Always responded to our texts, and sent photos of Max to us. I’m glad there are people out there, who care to take of our pets, instead of a kennel. She took Max in like he was her own. Thank you Kerri. ❤️”

“Sky was loved and cared for the entire time. We received pictures daily and was updated on how she was doing. She was apart of the family and was very happy. I’m thankful.”

“Gretchen and Marc were the best! Very loving and friendly home to leave your fur baby. They took every effort to know the necessary info to care for Lucy. They sent notes and pics while we were on our trip. Very highly recommend!”


“Amy was the absolute BEST! She took care of our baby girl exactly how I had hoped. She sent multiple photos and videos and helped to ease any fears that I had of leaving our puppy for the first time with someone other than family. We can’t thank her enough!”


“DeAnne was awesome with my 85-pound German Shepherd!! At first I was a bit nervous leaving my pup with a sitter that has a dog as well, simply because my dog is an “only child” so I wasn’t sure how he was act/react sharing his space. DeAnne and her dog, Cooper, were so loving with Shadow. She sent me pictures and messages every day to ease my mind. I could tell Shadow was in good hands when I picked up as he seemed happy and didn’t seem like he wanted to leave. DeAnne was also very accommodating with my drop-off and pick-up situation which was a bit last minute; I really appreciate her flexibility. Completely recommend!”


“Chayna took wonderful care of my dogs Ozzy and Xena. She sent picture and video updates. They got along with her dogs very well and really enjoyed their time at her place. I would highly recommend using her services!”

“Heather was extremely communicative and she showed so much care for Aries. He loved their backyard and there was so much space for him to roam around. We even lost his tags and they were able to help us retrieve the tags.”

“Kathryn was wonderful with our dog, Sadie! She was so responsive and kept us updated through out the weekend with photos. They played fetch, cuddled on the couch, and had the best time. Will certainly reach out again in the future!”

“My cat, Tim, absolutely LOVES Caylei! She sends me photos and videos throughout his time with her, and it's always obvious how happy and cared for he is. He has special needs and she dies an excellent job of caring for those needs as well as loving him.”

“Nataly took excellent care of our puppy while we were out of town for a full week! I was so grateful for the daily updates and pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and was so glad to know our puppy was well taken care of while we were gone.”
