“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“We absolutely loved having our two dogs sister with Eboni and her family!! Not to mention her being available and willing to take them last minute! She sent pictures and gave regular updates on our pups, it was so nice to see they were having a great time. She was very kind to our family and we would have her watch our dogs again in a heartbeat!”
“Our girl didn't do well in boarding facilities. Someone mentioned Rover to us and we thought we'd give it a try. We're so happy we found Tracy through Rover! Everything from communication, updates, and the care she provided our pooch was perfect and top notch!! It felt like we'd left our girl with a family member whose an animal enthusiast! We didn't worry a single time while we were on vacation. The picture and video updates daily were amazing for peace of mind! There was no doubt that our girl was taken care of. Thank you Tracy!!”
“Your dog is missing out on a great experience if you do not board him/ her at Larry’s place! Larry is a dog lover and has the perfect large fenced in shady area for your lovable pet. He knows all the ins and outs of feeding and playing and takes such a personal effort in taking care of your loved pet! My Jack Russell Terrier named Mobie had a blast! Updates with pictures showed how happy Mobie was… I was afraid he wanted to move in! I will definitely be back. Thank you for taking such good care of Mobie, Larry!!!!”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Lisa was the perfect fit for my two shih tzu’s! They were comfortable from the second they got there. They enjoyed her beautiful backyard and seemed to feel right at home. Lisa kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will definitely use her again :)”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and potty breaks. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide close supervision, keep doors and gates secure, and carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions. I can also separate pets during meals or rest time when needed.
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
“Charles was awesome and kept me up to date with my dog while I was gone. Communication was excellent and he was so understanding of my travel needs. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Charles!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.

“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”
“Ashley was a great sitter for our cat, Shen. She communicated with me regularly and sent cute photos. She told me each day what Shen was up to and varied her schedule to come at the best times for him. She also took care of a little crisis we had with our fish pond that was above and beyond her responsibilities! Ashely is reliable, responsible, and friendly. I would trust her with any pets and with your house at any time. We definitely will be calling on her again. Thanks, Ashley!!!!”
“Michelle was an excellent pet sitter! She was reliable, prompt and took very exceptional care of our 3 high maintenance cats! I would highly recommend her for any type of pet sitting service!”
“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”
“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”
“Kaylee is great! This was my first time leaving my cat with care from anyone not family. While my cat needed time to adapt Kaylee let him adjust at his pace. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Iv grown up my whole life caring for animals. I started when id help my grandmothers with their dogs and eventually ended up with a family dog as well which I helped without the most. That was until I got my very own pet cat and have been taking care of her by myself for years. I loved animals so much I have devoted my college experience to studying marine biology. Right now I am at college for summer conditioning since I am on the basketball team. I have practice from 9-11/30 so I don’t start drop-ins till noon but after noon I’m happy to come visit as much as you would like. I listen to you. Whatever you need or want me to do for your furry friend i am happy to ablige. I want to give your the best experience its owners are away.
“Katherine was great with my two cats! She always followed up with pictures. She came by every day and played with my cats and gave them lots of attention. Some of her visits were more than two hours long! I highly recommend Katherine to care for any of your pets.”
About: Growing up with cats, I've learned how they behave, act, and want attention. Whether that be giving it some space, or playing, I'm there to give it exactly what it needs. I believe that cats are around to comfort us, but also to be comforted by their humans. They need us as much as we need them. I'm here to provide the means necessary to keep your cat happy and playful.
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I started animal care in highschool starting with pet sitting moving into shelter work. I really enjoyed being able to play with and care for animals of all kinds. Though I have a special love for cats, having three of my own. I truly just enjoy getting to meet and spend time with different animals. I also love being able to get in some exercise of my own while going on walks with dogs.. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. Which gives me plenty of free time to fill! I look forward to filling it with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard to spend plenty of outside time in safely with your pet. All dogs must be cat friendly. We are no strangers to couch snuggles too!
About: Growing up we always had plenty of animals around, including dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, and more! Im a dedicated animal lover who has upmost respect for all animals. I’ve cared for puppies that could barely walk all the way until they were senior dogs who crossed the rainbow bridge, so I’m familiar with all types of care, energy levels, and needs! I’m a full time student at CCGA in Brunswick studying biomedical sciences, so spending time with fur babies is almost helpful with such stressful classes! I have plenty of time, any day of the week, to make pop in visits for walks or care between classes and can always stay overnight with your dogs if needed. Living in the Golden Isles all my life, I’ve come to find some really great spots! Beach walks, exploring trails, dog parks, and more can all be options for when I’m pet sitting!
About: I started working with dogs in 2015 at the age of 15 at a local dog kennel in Indiana, i worked there for almost 4 years. Im currently working in my second vet clinic. I have been here for a little over a year now and I really enjoy seeing the dogs and cats daily! I do currently work full time, I am willing to go before and after work and on the weekends as well. We can discuss what works for your pets schedule! I will be sure to take extra precautions to make sure your pet is as safe as possible, I will make sure he/she is on a leash at all times if applicable.
About: I love ALL animals regardless if they're wearing fur, feathers, fins or scales. I've been caring for them all my life! I have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake & fish at home! I'm currently self employed so I have plenty of free time to tend to everyone's precious pets! I don't discriminate, I love ALL of God's creatures! I take care of animals just like they're human children. I care for them with the most love, patience & tenderness. They're always naturally drawn to me just like children always are as well! I'm always available. Just shoot me a text to open a line of communication. I'll come meet your babies & take it from there! I'm able to provide as much or as little care they require. I do not care for pets in my own home aside from my own. I'd like to in the future, however I'm just not able to board them at the moment. As for caring for them in my clients' homes, I follow each fur parent's instructions exactly. I treat each animal as if they were my own which includes loads of love! That's how I'd want someone to care for my animals so that's what I provide.

“I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for daycare for their dog. She was very flexible working with our schedule as we were visiting St Simon Island. Communication was great and our lab Tilly was happy and well cared for.”
“Lisa took great care of our girl while we visited Cumberland Island. She was flexible with arrival and pick up times and sent us several photos of their day together. She catered the care to our dog's needs and Mina was relaxed and tired at the end of the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Yvonne did a terrific job with our persnickety Shih Tzu, Fitz. She was patient and kind as he settled in, even after his hunger strike on day one. She sent pictures of him as we traveled, reassuring us that we had left him in the right place. Highly recommend Yvonne!”

“Moose had so much fun on his play date! I got lots of updates throughout the day which was super helpful in easing my anxiety. Pary is really nice and her puppy Bonnie is very cute and loves playing with moose! They got along great together and I can’t wait for more play dates, highly recommend!”

“Eboni is fantastic. It's always hard to leave your pup with someone new, but she made us feel very comfortable. Ramsey is a very snuggly dog that loves attention and he was very well cared for. Eboni sent us pictures and an update very early in his stay to let us know how he was settling in, which instantly calmed our nerves. She was super responsive and kind when answering all of our questions. We are so happy we found her and Ramsey will absolutely be back!”
“Taylor did great with our pup! She sent lots of photos and was great with communication. She always responded quickly and kept me up to date. I definitely recommend Taylor! Thanks!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I do everything from feeding, walking and playing with them. I truly enjoy making new furry friends. Pet care is what I enjoy doing all day everyday. It gives me the opportunity to work for myself and to make my own schedule.

About: I pride myself on being a calm, attentive sitter who pets quickly feel comfortable with. I’m observant, patient, and proactive—whether that means noticing subtle changes in behavior, sticking closely to routines, or making sure your pet gets the right balance of play, exercise, and rest. I understand how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously. I truely love what I do, your pets aren’t just a job to me. I offer DISCOUNTS to recurring clients I offer DISCOUNTS for cash/venmo payments *please keep in mind these discounts benefit you and me! Your pet is still getting 5 star level of care as always, regardless of price! This is just something I like to offer my clients per their discretion.* My schedule allows me to be fully present before and after work, so pet care is never rushed or overlooked. I typically work 4-6 hour shifts which allows me ample time to keep to a consistent schedule. I keep a regular feeding schedule with same times every day.

About: I have worked for a vet, and 2 humane societies. I have 2 dogs of my own . I am loving, passionate, and would love to care and love on your fur babies.

I have 2 dogs, Ella and Tater that will enjoy making new friends to run around and play with.
About: I had a dog who was my best friend my entire time growing up. He passed away shortly before I left for college and since I often move around I have been unable to have my own. Instead I have pet and housesat for friends and neighbor's, and I have finally decided it’s time to take it to an official platform! I am a very active and outdoorsy person so if your pets love to play and go on walks I’m a great match for them! I’m currently working as a sea turtle next monitor which includes early mornings and into the afternoon. Currently I am having a longer commute two days a week down to the Jupiter area to help out, so I may not be a great fit for a longer stay dog sitting for the months of June and August. I’m a great fit if you need any late afternoon or nighttime checkins, or if you need someone to stay over and let them out early morning! I am very detail and attention oriented so whatever routine you have for your pets I will be sure to follow. I am great at communication and easy to reach if you ever need something while your fur baby is in my care :)
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, and plenty of others. I’ve been there for them through every stage: from playful puppies and moody teens to their peaceful golden years. I know how to give every animal the love, patience, and care they deserve. With having plenty of free time, I love starting my mornings alongside furry friends—playing in the yard and soaking up the calm, happy moments together. I currently do not allow dogs/cats/any other animals in my personal home, due to our older dogs who prefer to be secluded in there geriatric years.

About: I have always had a passion for animals. I started sitting for furbabes when I was in high school.I am an Army Veteran and work at an urgent care as a Medical Assistant. I have a Great Pyrenees, Whiskey whose is considered special needs and 3 cats Pendleton,Jameson and Moscato who are all full of energy.

My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm
About: I am a zoologist in the making! My life has been intertwined with an array of animals and dogs are my specialty. From my very first dog Harley—a precious pure dachshund with stinky breath. . . to my second dog Whitney—a howler at heart and full blue tick hound dog. . . then my third dog Chloe—an elderly bow legged rescue hound mix, who my mother and I discovered at the beginning of our road lying in a field of grass completely exhausted and in desperate need of care and lovin’ . . . to my own personal dog (landing 4th doggo place) AND best friend, Bowser—a mixture of beagle, pit, pointer, and more, was a whoppin’ $4 at the local humane society and is still the best purchase I’ve made thus far in my life . . . to my mothers rescue and indefinitely considered my dog too, Basil (or “Nae Nae” coming in 5th place)—the sweetest butt rubbing driven bulldog and lab mix . . . and the second to last, is my mother’s dog, who I have taken care of throughout his existence and his name is, Hofner— a pure long-haired German shepherd who requires so much and who has been to doggie training classes with my mother and I both present, where I was able to grasp knowledgeable tactics. The final dog, who is now my only pet (Bowser passed away from Stomach Cancer, recently) is named, Jasper, better yet “Jazz the Spazz” — who is a nearly full blooded American Terrier, aka Pit Bull, who has no desire to understand personal space, due to his driven need for love and affection. He will turn the impossible snuggle area into the possible one and not let anyone or anything get in his way of illustrating his form of love. Let’s not forget to include my family’s—including myself—our two cats. Tigger was a tabby house cat and he defined the term “lone wolf.” Nickalina is a full blood Maine Coon rescued from Ukraine; where the journey to the U.S., thankfully landed her in our care. As for other peoples unique creatures in my care, the list ranges from snakes, to bearded dragons, fish, ferrets, parrots, and of course the good ‘ol doggies and cats. Oddly enough, Bowser sniffed out a toad one frosty nightfall during our nightly routine of “potty break/smell as much as possible” and there revealed my next creature who I would love and care for. She was a toad. A full blown, bumpy lumpy, amphibian who Bowser would chill with from time to time. Her eyelids were nearly frozen shut, but I brought her inside and placed her in a glass bowl with a small amount of room temp water to encourage comfort and not place her in shock. I placed it under a lamp and checked on her every few minutes till her eyes were wide open. She never revealed any uncertainty toward me and my intentions. Whether she knew she was safe or had lived a long life already (their lifespan can fulfill 11 years of toady experience) . . . Naula (Na-La: means “miracle” from an African lineage) survived a little over a year in her 10 gallon tank of a home, while also having moments of freedom in different environments. I had two turtles—Dude and KeKe—and I had them for many years and planned to transition them into a bigger tank to initiate more surface growth, rather than limit their abilities in a 10 gallon tank; though, I ended up having to move and they were placed in a good friends care. My aquariums have held an assortment of fish, sucker fish, AND a tiny frog who made lots of friends. Overall, my love for all sorts of living organisms holds no boundary. I’m not keen on spiders or roaches, but some have been gifted more chances at life from my random moments of “feeling bad” and the fundamental “capture and release” method. Therefore, I obtain an internal significance toward life in general, no matter the subject in existence. If I am not knowledgeable in a specific line of duty/work/task—I research and implement my findings with a full heart and awareness of other relatable factors. Challenges that come my way, only add to my intelligence and experience in this flashing life we have been gifted to LIVE. I am currently employed part-time as a server and a fill in manager. I have been an employee of Mullet Bay Restaurant almost 10 years! Thankfully, I can manage a flexible work schedule in order to find a better balance with my college schedule, life in general, and especially time with my daughter as a single mother. I am a college student and currently enrolled in the only university within Glynn County, Georgia, known as the, College of Coastal Georgia. My daughter, Isla Rose, is 4 years old. If the need for my presence involves an overnight stay (my daughter is solely my responsibility and will be an addition to the overnight stay, which frames my full confidence in her respectful manners and prior understanding towards the treatment of animals from personal experience and her general love for all—BUT, there can be arrangements made if homeowner/pets parent(s) are not comfortable with her inclusion). Whether my daughter is in my care or not, all animals that are in my future care will be making a friend (if the opportunity is consistent, I am aware it can take some time for the ones that require that additional time to build trust so my presence and actions are verified in their eyes) and I will represent the friend that they can rely on, feel safe around, will feed them when given instruction to, an expertise in scratches, and knows how to some fun. Your animal illustrating happiness through gestures and so on, as well as their safety as a whole, is my guarantee. I am in the process of searching for my own place outside of my mother’s house and into my and Isla’s own place. I am still deciding where exactly and heavily weighing all options, but the location will still remain in the same city or county; and when there is a decision made, I will post an update. I do not feel comfortable bringing other dogs to my mothers home, due to Hofner, her German Shepard, struggling with his role in the household and acting upon his instincts to be overly protective of my mother and her room and vocalizing to others he is aware of their closeness and can sense fear of uncertainty. Therefore, the possible attack from his own uncertainty of others or animals, as well as, his anxiety of holding the boss title within the household could be a result. My mother is a Nurse Practitioner and has a very busy schedule and lots of love toward, Hofner. He is amazing around Isla, though he needs more help in order to ease his stress and instinctive role as “BOSS.” We have to keep him and Jasper separate (wasn’t always this way), but Jasper has shown his willingness and desire to interact with other animals. Him and Bowser were always around each other. Though, I will be leaving my dog at home and can easily initiate ways for him to be taken care of while I am taking care of yours. If there is a will, there is a way!

“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”

Everything from communication, updates, and the care she provided our pooch was perfect and top notch!! It felt like we'd left our girl with a family member whose an animal enthusiast! We didn't worry a single time while we were on vacation. The picture and video updates daily were amazing for peace of mind! There was no doubt that our girl was taken care of. Thank you Tracy!!”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”

“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Lisa was the perfect fit for my two shih tzu’s! They were comfortable from the second they got there. They enjoyed her beautiful backyard and seemed to feel right at home. Lisa kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will definitely use her again :)”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
“Charles was awesome and kept me up to date with my dog while I was gone. Communication was excellent and he was so understanding of my travel needs. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Charles!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“Our German Shepherd has some pretty severe stranger danger, and Amy was fantastic with her. Amy was extremely patient, and allowed us to meet up a couple of times before boarding, to ensure that it was going to work out for both her and our dog. Amy’s communication throughout the stay was great. She gave updates and sent pictures daily. I’d definitely recommend Amy for dog sitting.”
“Kristy was awesome. Our Goldendoodles seemed right at home with Kristy. She sent pictures and updates to reassure us that our pups were doing fine which made being away from them so much easier.. she was very dependable from our meet and greet to pick up!”
