“Ricky loves his home away from home. When my daughter picked him up, he didn't really want to leave. We are thankful he has this great place to stay when he can't travel with us. She takes great care of my geriatric, neurotic, deaf, and partially blind chihuahua. 100% Recommend if you are fortunate enough to get on her schedule!! Xoxo, thanks, Kimberly! With love, Ricky Ricardo's mom.”
“My dog loved it with Megha! I received such great photos and videos of my Nefertiti. I know she was enjoying herself and being looked after her. It’s so hard to find someone that genuinely loves animals that you can trust with your dog but that’s definitely her! Thank you so much and would definitely book again!”
“We booked an overnight get away and needed a sitter last minute. Anita was quick to respond, very personable, clearly had a great affection for dogs. We quickly becamw comfortable with leaving our babies. She kept us in the loop with photos and videos. We will definitely choose Anita moving forward. We now consider her home our pets second family.”
“I wish I could give Grace 6 Stars! I got the distinct feeling that Grace didnt just board my dog Shadow - she CARED. True story: my doggo felt so srcure, and well-loved that when it was time to go and she actually walked backed to Grace's front door waiting for her to open it. That should tell you all you need to know. Thanks again Grace!”
“Lorraine snd Flavia always take great care of my pups! They send videos throughout their stay and keep me updated. Shadow and Ace had a fun time on their vacation away from home!”
“Karen and her husband were the best!! They treated Ganon like one of their own and sent numerous photos and videos where I could see Ganon having a great time! He was very happy when I went to pick him up too! Drop off and pick up was a breeze and they communicated everyday with updates. A++”
“Beverly was wonderful with our little dog, Bandit. And her little doggy is sweet and great with our dog, too! He was safe, happy and well taken care of! We will definitely come back!”
“We had an excellent experience with Kenneth & Maria! They kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciated the communication and professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! 🐾”
“We were so lucky to have found Tatiana. Communication was timely. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. But most importantly, I could tell she loved on our dogs just as much as we do and there’s nothing more that we could have asked for! Would happily book again!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Megan! She took care of my super shy cat for 3+ days and he felt right at home with her! Where he would typically hide under beds, he was letting her give him belly rubs and eating/sleeping well. I usually feel anxious and guilty all the time on our short vacations, worrying about him feeling stressed. This time was different ; the videos she sent told me he was doing great! Megan listened to what I said and worked her magic! I highly recommend this lovely lady to care for your fur babies 💝”
“Angie was great and took wonderful care for my little dog Sandy. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and knew just how to make him feel at home. Sandy loved his time there, especially being outside in the yard! We will definitely use Angie’s services again when we are out of town next. ?”
“Seriously fantastic. One of our pups was getting over an upset stomach issue when we dropped her off. Which means Sarah had to clean up some messes and we truly felt terrible about that. Sarah kept us up to date on how she was improving, and she took the extra care she needed which we are endlessly grateful for. Hopefully that never happens again, but we genuinely felt like Sarah handled it well.”
“Kelly took such great care of our Lollie! Our dog can be questionable with other dogs but Kelly’s dog was so calm and well mannered, they are now best friends! She communicates great, sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date. Kelly made Lollie feel right at home!! We will definitely be using her again!”
“My two golden doodles had another wonderful visit with Michele and Trenton! We received pictures and videos of our dogs playing with another dog and having fun with their son. My dogs were able to relax in their comfortable home and get spoiled with love and hugs. We are so thankful that we have a place to leave our pups when we go out of town! Thank You! :)”
“I highly recommend Bella & Ry for anyone that is looking for a Dogsitter! They were amazing and took very great care of my baby! They also communicated very well and sent many updates that I really appreciated! My pup was in very good hands with them and I will for sure keep booking with them!”
“Iarra was amazing with my dog Melo. She sent me so many pictures, videos and updates on how he was doing. She took him on long walks which he loves. I’m so happy I booked with her and I would definitely book with her in the future”
“I would happily leave my pup with Cynthia and her family again! She took time when I first dropped Athena off to help her be comfortable. Nothing was rushed. She was very communicative for the entirety of my trip.”
“Julie was amazing with Astro! She made him feel so comfortable during our meet and greet before our booking. I accidentally chose the wrong date for the booking and Julie was completely understanding and kind. During Astro’s boarding, she loved on him and sent us updates throughout the day. Book with her!”
“Savannah and her family welcomed my Diamond with open arms from start to finish. We went out of town for a wedding and this was my first time trying anyone on this app, so I was truly skeptical. I usually take her to the boarding companies but they never give her the care she truly needs. But Savannah did and my Diamond loved her family! I will be letting my Diamond stay with her again and again and again. She sent pictures and kept in contact the whole time we were out of town which put us at ease, she even gave my Diamond a bath! She understood the assignment. Please book with her! We have literally just developed a new friend!”

About: I have rescued all kinds of cats in the past 5 years. From re-homeing stray kittens, managing colonies to TNR kitty’s. I would love to use this experience to help care for others pets.

“Katie is always so great with our pets! She gives great updates while we are gone and takes lots of photos. Always know our pets are well taken care of when she is watching them!”
“Ana was wonderful with Buddy while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Buddy can be very picky and set in his routines, and Ana was incredibly patient and caring with him. We truly appreciated the updates, attention, and care she provided throughout the week. It made it so much easier for us to relax knowing he was being looked after so well. We’re very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter. 💛”
“Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once again!!”
“Nicole was amazing to our pets (and us)! She came for a pre-visit to make sure we were a good fit for each other and to get an overview of everything. She gave us updates as soon as she was at our place with our animals and sent a ton of pics for each visit. She gave our cats all the pets and loving. We are SO relieved to have found someone here we can trust for all of our trips away from home! We will definitely have her help us again if she’s free :)”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She kept me informed every day about my baby. And she was so sweet to my little blind kitty. She was able to do her meds daily and kept everything spotless. Will be booking again!!”
“Mindy went above and beyond. We had to extend our visits and she was very accommodating. The daily updates and photos were a very nice touch. Storm, our cat was well taken care of. And we had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. It allowed for us to relax and enjoy during our trip. Thank you!!!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets whether they have been my own or someone else's. In fact I can't remember a single segment of my life where I didn't have a family pet to care for and look after. Each animal comes with their own unique needs and interests and I'm willing to meet them where they're at and cater to all of their quirks. I've dealt with puppies and senior dogs so I don't mind cleaning up a few messes. I've had dogs of my own who were calm rambunctious or somewhere in between so I truly do love em all. While I do have more experience with dogs, I also have a precious cat of my own and am more than comfortable looking after your sweet (or not so sweet, like mine) cat. I am a college student and I do work, but I am available anytime Monday-Thursday and after 5pm on Weekends. Please reach out if you are interested in any overnight stays so we can discuss availability. I am comfortable catering to your pets needs. I am comfortable with any necessary meal preparation, walks throughout the neighborhood and potty breaks, and crating the pet if needed. I am also okay with administering medication if needed.
“Chloe was extra attentive to our 2 cats while we were away for vacation this year! She played with them regularly and when we got home our cats seemed just as happy as we left them! I would definitely reccomend this sitter and we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Payton was great! She was communicative and followed all care instructions exactly as requested. Everything was handled smoothly, and I appreciated the thoughtful attention to my cats. Would book again!”
“Caylen was wonderful! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated with each visit. I really appreciated the extra care she put into cleaning up. I had complete peace of mind while I was away and would definitely book with her again!”
“Dora was great taking care of my kitty while I was away. She visited every other day and actually got my shy Lilly to come out and interact with her. Thank you, I'll be sure to contact you again!”
“Hannah was available at short notice, and did a great job with my two pups - caring for them as if they were her own. She is a warm, friendly, and responsible person. I will use her again!”
“I was a little nervous leaving our older cat for a week, but once I got the first evenings photos from Valerie with Nim out and playing with Valerie and Justin, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation! We looked forward to getting our photos every evening. They did a great job, arriving right on time every day and would highly recommend.”
“Trace was simply AMAZING !! Other times we have had Micky watched by friends and family. First time with a professional pet sitter. What a difference. And the cat REALLY liked Trace. He has been looking for him all day now that we are home LOL How can I tell? Well, when we normally get home from a trip, the cat is stressed as if we were never coming home. This time Micky was glad to see us but was relaxed and didn’t act out at all Thank you Trace so much !!! You were AMAZING and the pictures you took were great and showed Micky was very interested in interacting with you. You really were great !”

About: I work from home and would love to host and care for your fur babies while you are at work or away on vacation. I have loved animals of all types my entire life. My husband and I formerly rescued and fostered multiple rat terriers and placed them in loving homes through an organization called New Rattitude. I currently have a volunteer position with the same organization as a microchip coordinator. While I was in high school and college I worked for two animal clinics in the Metro Atlanta area and volunteered with local animal shelters. My family pets over the past 22 years were 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mixes that all lived to be seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages. Since I am at home so much, your dogs will be not be lonely, they will be doted on and treated like royalty. I have a large fenced in yard for sniffing, exercise and exploration. I only take one client at a time. I do not have any pets of my own. Yours will have my undivided attention and care. I will update you with photos and status reports on a daily basis. Please understand that while we have experience with senior dogs and dogs with special needs, we are currently unable to book dogs that are experiencing incontinence (even with diapers) and night time pacing/spatial disorientation/sleeplessness that comes with senility. Since I work from home, I will keep your dog on any required schedule such as medications, supplements, specific feeding times, and potty breaks. Playtimes and naptimes will be intermittent throughout the day. I have comfy doggie beds throughout the house and under my office desk. My home is clean and safe. I have a secure, fenced in yard with many areas to explore and space to run around. All gates are padlocked. I also stay outside with the dogs that are in my care. I leave a full bowl of water out 24 -7. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed if that is what they are accustomed to, I can also crate them if that is preferred. Your dog(s) will be safe and happy as guests in my home. I have a Red Cross Certification in Pet First Aid in the rare occasion there would be a need. I am also sensitive to dogs with thunder and firework fears, we have a comfy furnished basement space that mutes the bad sounds and we hang out there until everything calms down.
About: I recently moved to Kennesaw and I’m so excited to connect with new families and their beloved pets in the area. I’ve been caring for animals professionally for several years through Rover and independent clients, and I bring a calm, confident presence to every home and every visit. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a sweet and curious two-year-old who often comes along with me for walks and drop-in visits scheduled before 3:30pm. She’s been around animals her whole life and is always gentle, quiet, and supervised. If you’d prefer solo visits, I’m happy to book those later in the day. I have hands-on experience with: Senior pets and animals with special needs Administering oral medications, injections, and topical treatments Dogs of all sizes and temperaments Cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals, and even insects (yes, really!) I currently share my home with a sweet elderly dog named Molly and one quirky cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or multiple check-ins while you’re away, I provide reliable, loving care with great communication and attention to detail. Let me know how I can help—I’d love to meet you and your animals! Since recently moving to Kennesaw, I’ve had to part ways with many of my long-time clients due to distance—but I’m looking forward to building new connections (and new routines) with pets and their people here! My schedule is very open right now, and I’m able to accommodate a wide range of visit times, whether you need early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I live with my dog Molly and two quirky cats—Squid and Sashi—who keep things fun, fluffy, and interesting. Every day involves walks, feedings, medications if needed, scooping, snuggling, and lots of love, so incorporating visits with new pets into my routine feels natural and easy. As a stay-at-home mom to a one-year-old, I plan my day around caregiving. For visits before 3:30pm, my daughter usually tags along. She’s gentle, calm, and used to being around animals from day one. If you’d prefer solo visits, I’m happy to schedule those later in the day. Pet care isn’t just part of my job—it’s woven into my every day, and I truly love it. Whether I’m stopping by your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like one of my own. I take the time to get to know each pet—their routines, quirks, and favorite things—so I can keep their days as calm and consistent as possible. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and attentive to your pet’s needs. I handle everything from feedings and walks to medications and playtime, and I’m always happy to follow any specific instructions you leave. I love giving updates with photos and little notes, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. At my house, pets are treated like family. I live with my dog Molly and two sweet (and very entertaining) cats, Squid and Sashi, so visiting pets need to be comfortable around other animals. I offer a cozy, clean, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. I’m home most of the day, which means lots of attention and a low-stress environment for pets who might be nervous in a new place. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a drop-in visit while you’re at work, or a weekend sleepover, I care for every animal with kindness, patience, and lots of love. ** I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but I’m happy to schedule multiple drop-in visits throughout the day to keep your pets comfortable and well-cared for in their own home. Whether it’s morning, midday, and evening check-ins—or just a custom schedule that works for you—I can make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Lina was great. She was very nice to watch Mitch for me on short notice. She let me know Mitch was having a good time throughout the day even getting to spend time with another furry friend. I really appreciate Lina and her family taking good care of Mitch!!”
About: I have always loved and cared for dogs. I welcome the opportunity to help in whatever capacity is needed. I can walk, play with, feed and give your pup the amount of love and attention they deserve and more. You will have nothing to worry about if you reach out to me. I am trustworthy and honest and have nothing but your dogs best interest at heart. I am in Acworth and closer to both Kennesaw and Woodstock. I am currently looking to take Rover work as it arises with no other job to interfere so that I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I am currently able to make dog walking visits at your home and can take boarding in my home if I am free. Anything your pet needs, I will do my best to accommodate.
“Tatiana was great with my dog Raya. Raya gets very anxious when going to a new place but Tatiana made her feel comfortable. My Raya was able to relax and have a great time away from home!”
About: I can teach basic tricks/commands like, sit, down, up, paw, touch, kiss, spin, and speak. And I will love and care for your pet. 🖤 I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of spare time to play, snuggle, and care for your furry friend. Plus friendly furry friends to play with. I have a pet friendly home, a fenced yard, lots of toys, different sized crates if needed, dog beds, extra bowls, harnesses, leashes, and more.
About: I have always loved dogs and I have decided that I want to be around dogs in my free time because it makes me happy! I am a soon to be retired school teacher and want to spend my time now with animals especially dogs! For the next 10 months I will be still working my teacher schedule and would like to get a head start on my next venture. I would be available for dog sitting on weekends and dog walks after 3pm during the work week and anytime over weekends. I have always had a dog growing up and very lovingly cared for my own dogs for the last 31 years. I enjoy being around all dogs. When I retire I would also like to volunteer somewhere for dogs. Again, for the next 10 months, I will still be working my teacher schedule and I will be available during the work week after 3 PM for dog walks or drop ins and during the weekend for overnights. I also would be available for some of my school breaks. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog named Lina. She is medium sized and very friendly with other dogs. I would love to love on your fur baby.
About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for pets as we have a 10-year-old fur baby of our own and we've had him since he was a pup. I have board and sit both dogs and cats for families several times and realized how much we enjoyed their company and how easy it was for to us have them in our homes especially given that we've already have a very similar routine in caring for Jojo. Boarding Care: We take our dog out 4x per day; once in the morning (7-9am), afternoon (12-2pm), evening (5-7pm) and then at night (9-11pm) before bedtime. Food can be put out anytime, and happy to accommodate request on food instructions. About Jojo: he is our best little guard dog so the first couple of mins when you are entering his home he'll bark and sniff. He does adjust quickly and gets along well with other dogs around his size. He is our only dog so when you board with us your pet too will have a friend to play with. We do have a pet of our own and a good existing routine, so we are able to host quite seamlessly so you can board with peace of mind. We have over half an acre of fenced backyard so rest assured they are safe and will have plenty of space to mark their spots.
About: A FAMILY affair in Canine Care!! What makes us unique is that it's not just me taking care of the dogs—it's a whole family affair! With two energetic kids and a loving husband, our home is always buzzing with excitement and wagging tails. With over 30 years of experience in dog-sitting (Oh, my I’m telling my age!), I've honed my skills to provide top-notch care for your furry friends. Plus, having our own sweet 2-year-old pup has taught us even more about the joys of canine companionship. Specializing in puppy training and senior dog care, we ensure each dog gets the personalized attention they deserve to thrive. And hey, if you're new to Rover, don't forget to ask about our promo code for $20 off your first booking! Unfortunately, our cozy home isn't suitable for large dogs, but rest assured, we'll make sure your smaller pups have a blast and feel right at home. ***NO DOGS OVER 50 LBS***** Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. While I work full-time, I have the flexibility to work from home, providing a comforting environment for your furry friend if they require boarding. Additionally, I'm available for in-home boarding, dog walks at your home, or boarding in your home. As a family, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of your pet, ensuring they feel at home. We only use crates during feeding times to prevent any issues such as allergies or stomach problems that may arise from other dogs eating each other's food. Our own dog enjoys free roam of our house, and we understand the importance of providing a similar environment for your furry friend. We don't have a fenced backyard, but rest assured, your pet will be walked numerous times a day. Dogs are welcome on furniture and receive plenty of hugs and affection throughout their stay. We're happy to follow any specific rules or preferences you have regarding your pet's behavior in our home.
“Kelsey has displayed so much patience with my anxiety ridden fur baby, Jackie. Though she still prefers to stay at home, I think she’s slowly beginning to get comfortable spending time with Kelsey and I’m soooo grateful for that.”
About: In addition to common dog owner knowledge I am also equipped with exceptional K-9 to human communication skills that will help me make nervous, unsettled, shy, or anxious pets adjust to their temporary lodging. I acquired these skills during 10 years of K-9 protection handling and training education and practice along with 15 years of bodywork with a concentration in myofascial release. I can take pets on short notice for as long as necessary. Your dog(s) will not interact with other dogs while in my care, unless previously discussed. The interior of my 2500 sf home has the space and configuration to allow up to 4 dogs to be separated into their own "living" spaces. Having two of may own, I will only take two dogs as a time. I will provide exceptional care and 24/7 attention. Why I love dog sitting My entire life, personal and professional, has been with dogs afoot. I enjoy discovering their individual personalities. Meet my pets I have two Pomeranians. About my yard Fenced, however I prefer to hand walk client's pets. I am a jogger so if your pet is used to jogging each day for exercise we can make that happen. My experience administering medication I am happy to administer any necessary medications and supplements. I have been doing so for as long as I can remember, IV, IM, topical, and oral. I build my schedule around clients needs. Mine eat at 8 AM and 6 pm and get outside for fresh air and a bio bark every 4-5 hours. In a client's home, I leave absolutely no trace I have ben there. Extreme attention to detail, respect for your environment, and I follow instructions with precision. In my home, I follow the schedule I am given and keep a low and slow approach, giving them space, time, and calm/quiet emotional support to adjust. In both environments you will receive videos, pics, and updates multiple times per day.

“Claudia has been fantastic in going to walk Bodhi. She’s communicative and takes lots of pictures & Bodhi really likes their walking adventures. He was very receptive of her from the first meeting so I’m thrilled to have her stopping by a few times a week to take him outside while I’m at work.”
“Lindsey was great and I would highly recommend her as a dog walker. She took care of my 19 year old Beagle and gave him his meds and food while we were out. Great job!”
“A wonderful first experience using Rover for myself and new pup! Chloe did an awesome job taking care of Sonny and keeping me updated with how the day went. Will definitely be reaching out soon!”

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie, and I’m a zookeeper with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds! Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of species, with giraffes being my specialty. Working in animal care has taught me the importance of adaptability, patience, and individualized care. I have extensive experience with daily care and feeding, administering medications, following medical procedures, and safely relocating animals when needed. I love knowing all the little quirks that make your baby unique, what kind of scratches they like, which toys are their favorite etc. The more I know about their needs the more fun we can have together!

I’m available for flexible drop-in visits as well as dog walking, and I would love the opportunity to care for your critters like they’re my own! I am very flexible with my schedule and do my best to accommodate the needs of both my clients and their critters! I’m happy to work around your schedule and find a routine that works best for you and your pet, while always making sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two rescue cats, each with their own unique health needs that I manage alongside them. I’m especially passionate about choice-based and cooperative care, and I bring that same philosophy to every animal I work with. I’m very comfortable caring for nervous or shy animals and will always respect their boundaries and give them space when they need it. On the other hand, I’m a big animal lover, so if your critter is looking for some extra cuddles and affection, I’m always happy to oblige!
About: 7 years of elite experience. I have successfully managed everything from chaotic dogs and sassy cats to high-maintenance goldfish.Your rules are my laws. If your dog isn't allowed on the bed, we will snuggle on the floor! I currently am a undergraduate student at Kennesaw state university, and go to classes two days out of the week beyond that I’m pretty flexible! I have 3 dogs: two Aussie doodles and a chihuahua! I enjoy taking them on walks and playing fetch all day! I also love working with cats they are the best study buddies!
“Ana does a great job with Daisy! Daisy loves to go on walks with her. We've had Ana walk Daisy many times and we are very happy with her services. I definitely recommend her 😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since my first dog at age 11. Since then I’ve been walking, feeding, bathing and caring for friends and neighbors pets often. I love animals and the outdoors so it’s become a dream job for me. I work on the weekends so throughout the week I can give your pets my full undivided attention. Monday through Thursdays I usually spend studying alone so it would be nice to have furry company! I have a fenced in backyard that’s perfect for any dog. Although I don’t have any pets myself all my neighbors have furry babies and I have the perfect neighborhood for walks. I spend most time outdoors so I don’t mind going out. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks or to the park. Pets who like the indoors will have their own bed at my house. I will rarely dog sit at another person’s house but there can be a few exceptions.
About: I've had at least one pet in my house my whole life. I've always been the one in charge of walking them, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and the like. I've had both cats and dogs throughout my life so I have great affinity and affection for both. I'm currently in-between jobs right now, as the video editing market is troubles at the moment, so I have a good amount of free time available to me. I have a car and can drive the distance needed to take care of your pet. I would have no trouble creating, walking, or taking care of your pet based on your needs.
About: I grew up on a farm. My mom rescued animals, so caring for animals is a right of passage in my family. It's not a "side hustle" for me. It's my passion, my dream, my purpose. I have a degree in Psychology, own two businesses and I'm a mom of two amazing kids. I have five shih tzus at the moment along with a variety of exotic animals. I have tons of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, turtles (both aquatic and land), and fish. When I encounter a new species, I go over and beyond to learn everything about them and spare no expense to make sure they thrive and happy. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs, post-up recovery, medications, bathing, daily brushing, grooming, nail trims, etc. Your babies are my babies and they will be looking forward to play time with me, giving you a peace of mind while you have to be away. 🥰 I own my own house cleaning business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I'm working mostly in a 15 minute radius, and I have cameras in every room, so I can check in on my babies and drop by if they need me. I have a large fenced yard and several separate play areas in case I have babies that need some alone time. Inside I also have gates and play areas to ensure your pets' safety and provide quiet areas if they seem over stimulated or anxious.

It’s so hard to find someone that genuinely loves animals that you can trust with your dog but that’s definitely her! Thank you so much and would definitely book again!”

We now consider her home our pets second family.”
“I wish I could give Grace 6 Stars! I got the distinct feeling that Grace didnt just board my dog Shadow - she CARED. True story: my doggo felt so srcure, and well-loved that when it was time to go and she actually walked backed to Grace's front door waiting for her to open it. That should tell you all you need to know. Thanks again Grace!”
“Lorraine snd Flavia always take great care of my pups! They send videos throughout their stay and keep me updated. Shadow and Ace had a fun time on their vacation away from home!”
“Karen and her husband were the best!! They treated Ganon like one of their own and sent numerous photos and videos where I could see Ganon having a great time! He was very happy when I went to pick him up too! Drop off and pick up was a breeze and they communicated everyday with updates. A++”
“We had an excellent experience with Kenneth & Maria! They kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciated the communication and professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! 🐾”
“I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Megan! She took care of my super shy cat for 3+ days and he felt right at home with her! Where he would typically hide under beds, he was letting her give him belly rubs and eating/sleeping well. I usually feel anxious and guilty all the time on our short vacations, worrying about him feeling stressed. This time was different ; the videos she sent told me he was doing great! Megan listened to what I said and worked her magic! I highly recommend this lovely lady to care for your fur babies 💝”
“Angie was great and took wonderful care for my little dog Sandy. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and knew just how to make him feel at home. Sandy loved his time there, especially being outside in the yard! We will definitely use Angie’s services again when we are out of town next. ?”
“Seriously fantastic. One of our pups was getting over an upset stomach issue when we dropped her off. Which means Sarah had to clean up some messes and we truly felt terrible about that. Sarah kept us up to date on how she was improving, and she took the extra care she needed which we are endlessly grateful for. Hopefully that never happens again, but we genuinely felt like Sarah handled it well.”
“Kelly took such great care of our Lollie! Our dog can be questionable with other dogs but Kelly’s dog was so calm and well mannered, they are now best friends! She communicates great, sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date. Kelly made Lollie feel right at home!! We will definitely be using her again!”
“I would happily leave my pup with Cynthia and her family again! She took time when I first dropped Athena off to help her be comfortable. Nothing was rushed. She was very communicative for the entirety of my trip.”
“Julie was amazing with Astro! She made him feel so comfortable during our meet and greet before our booking. I accidentally chose the wrong date for the booking and Julie was completely understanding and kind. During Astro’s boarding, she loved on him and sent us updates throughout the day. Book with her!”
“My pup couldn’t be happier to stay with this loving family. He alway comes back more loving and so tired from all the walks. We couldn’t be happier with the care and service Tamara provides. I would definitely recommend her service to anyone who is looking for a safe and loving place to place their furry kids!”
“Mikayla did a great job taking care of our pup. She was so sweet in every communication, gave us daily updates, and we could tell our pup was happy to stay with her. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“I’ve been in search of a dog sitter, I noticed Tycilea profile and I was very impressed so I decided to schedule a few hours for a meet and greet. Cinco had a wonderful time with her, they connected from the moment they met. She communicated throughout the visit, she also sent pics and videos of my fur baby. I love her personality, it’s so warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend her and Cinco will be visiting her again real soon.”
“Jennie and her family took great care of my pup! I was so nervous at first to leave my baby with someone new. Her daily updates and photos helped ease my mind. I appreciate that her two kids gave him lots of playtime and affection. Their yard is also huge and my pup loved running around out there. I am definitely going to book again!!”
“Angie & Esteban are a beautiful family, with a beautiful home and property. Our dog was so stressed being boarded in large facilities that we decided to give Rover a try. We are so happy to have found Angie & Esteban. Our dog has loved staying with them and being part of their family (they treat her like their own!). We have already booked 4x with them in the last month alone! We've done day stays, one week-long stay, and another coming soon! Couldn't be happier with the attention and love they provide for our pup, Holden!”
