“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”

“Our 2 pups loved Lena and her beautiful home! They have secretly been barking to us that they want to go back and play some more with Lena and her cute little dogs. She is honest and caring and efficient! She will love your dogs the whole time you’re away and is terrific about sending daily photos! Highly recommend! A+++++ ??”

“Shawna has been keeping Bella for over a year now. She is great with Bella, and Bella loves going to visit Shawna. I get daily updates and I always pick up a happy, healthy dog. She even sets up her couch so that Bella can get up there and sit with them. On her last visit, Bella had a medical event. She began coughing and hacking up foamy spit up. Shawna immediately contacted me and we originally decided just to monitor her. But when it continued everytime Bella drank water, Shawna made the decision to take her to the emergency vet. She kept me informed of everything they were doing and how Bella was being treated. She did exactly what I would have done and I'm thankful for having a sitter that I can completely trust to look after Bella. I highly recommend Shawna!!”

“Oh my gosh, what a blessing Pat was. Our two dogs are seniors, one with high anxiety issues. We worried about them causing her trouble and after the first night we were afraid we might have to cancel our vacation. Pat assured us that they would be fine, and they were. She was patient, even cooked them chicken and rice when they got diarrhea. She sent pictures and updates on them which really relieved our minds. I cannot say enough good things about the care the dogs received and hope that she will be available the next time. I would give her 10 stars if possible.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During college, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. In addition to my professional experience, I have rescued and fostered numerous dogs over the years, helping them transition into loving forever homes. As a proud dog parent to five dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, attention, and care we would give our own. I am responsible, compassionate, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while you're away. I look forward to treating your furry family member like one of my own! Experience with: •Senior care •Puppy care •Pets with disabilities •Pet medication administration This season of life has taught me to slow down and focus on what matters most. As I recover from cancer and gradually return to work, pet sitting has become something that brings me joy, purpose, and healing. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, responsible, and attentive hands. I provide attentive, loving care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets are treated like family and given a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep them happy while their owners are away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.

Overall, Jackie was very accommodating communicated well throughout the entire boarding before and during. We would recommend Jackie for pet sitting/boarding services.”

“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”

“Devin was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Bandit! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust Devin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my puppy Ringo. She gave me a lot of updates and pictures on him and she took him last minute which was amazing. I would recommend her to all my friends and family and I will definitely be using her again!!”

“I've tried a few sitters and none were bad but I've never seen our dog as happy with his tail constantly wagging as we did with Angie. She sent constant photo and video updates, communicated very well, and truly cared for our doggo.”

“Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She and her family clearly love dogs and provided exceptional care for Bella. She was flexible with the unique nature of our travel plans and timely with our communications. The photo and video updates gave us comfort in seeing that Bella was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie again and highly recommend her as a Rover sitter. Five stars. Thank you Katie.”

“We were on vacation with our dogs and needed an overnight sitter. Erin was great. She made us feel like we were leaving them in a very safe place where they would get the attention that they needed and deserved. It was fun to get pictures from Erin to show that the girls were comfortable and safe.I would recommend Erin 1000%.”

“Shilpi was amazing!! I have never felt as comfortable leaving my fur baby when going away. Shilpi made the process so easy and gave us steps to make sure we remembered everything. While we were gone she sent many updates and pictures and I could tell my dog was safe and happy. They did a phenomenal job making sure she was eating well and enjoying her stay. When we picked her up too, she seemed so well kept and her fur was so soft and clean which hasn't always been the case when we have left her at other places. I will absolutely be leaving my dog with them again and I know I will feel 100% safe and happy doing so! Thank you to them for taking care of my fur baby ♥️”
“We booked same day sitting with Stosh for our dog,Sheru. And Stosh sent wonderful daily photo updates and food schedule. Sheru was so happy and relaxed when we got home!"We would gladly book with him again. Thank you Stosh for taking such a good care of him, really appreciate it…..😊”

“Emmanuel was fantastic! You can tell he's a true dog person. My dog loved staying at his house. He kept me updated with photos and videos, and his huge backyard was perfect for playtime. I would definitely book with him again —highly recommend!”

“Amanda is wonderful!!! Best pet sitter ever. She takes care of everything and our fur baby is happy the whole time we are gone. It is such a pleasure to work with someone so wonderful! Thank you!!!!”

“She is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures during the day, let me know how they were acclimating, and during pickup one of my 4 cats decided to run off. She went above and beyond to help us find her (including climbing down into a crazy thicket across the street!)”

“Jenny was great! We have 5 cats so they can be a lot to deal with at dinner time but all of them were happy and healthy. She brought toys over and played with my more playful cats. I would definitely hire her again.”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. As the primary caregiver for my families pets, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I have 10+ years of hands‑on cat care experience, including raising abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from just days old, caring for elderly cats, and everything in between.

About: What sets me apart is my experience as a Veterinary Assistant and my genuine love for cats. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, including kittens, seniors, shy or anxious cats, and cats with medical or special needs. I’m experienced with medications, detailed care routines, feeding schedules, litter box care, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I understand that cats often feel most secure in their own home, so I focus on keeping their routine familiar while giving them plenty of patience, attention, playtime, and affection at their own pace. Most importantly, I treat every cat as an individual and care for them like they’re my own.
About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.
“Lacole took fabulous care of our kittens for two weekends. While the kittens were shy at first, by the end of Lacole’s visits they were good buddies. The pictures Lacole provided were very reassuring, and she was sure to ask if there were any questions.”

“Avary took great care of our kitty cats. She kept me updated about their meals and medication and sent pictures. She followed through requests and was very accommodating. Will definitely be using her in the future! 😁”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!

About: I have just as much experience with cats as I do dogs. I love them both a lot. My cat is 19 years old right now and he is one of my best friends. I know some cats aren't as loving as others, but I feel like cats have been drawn to me in most of my experiences. They definitely wanna be loved just as much as dogs.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up from cats, dogs to having a pet flying squirrel name Ricky Bobby. I have a genuine heart and a sweet soul and I love animals . My son is in school and I’m a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time on my hands now. I would enjoy having a side job to play with more animals in my life I have two acres of land and plenty of grass to roam around on. I have a fence with a closing gate and I can walk the dogs with as much time needed. They are in good hands !

“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”

“Superior experience! ..and communication. Plenty of area to explore and run, much better than a dog park, and typical kennel daycare/boarding. Rhett was pooped out! Highly recommended.”

“Cooper loves daycare with Reyna and her family! Their large fenced-in yard gives him plenty of space to run and play with their sweet puppy, Maple. He loved being part of their family for the day! Reyna sent me great pictures of him zooming around the yard and relaxing near the boys while they worked on school. He came home happy, tired, and ready for a nap! We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”

“Louie had a blast with Wynema and her family! Dropoff and pickup were a breeze and Wynema was really great about communicating and coordinating with me. Sent cute pics and kept me updated on his day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect play day for their dog!”

About: Your dog will enjoy their very own private indoor kennel, complete with a cozy bed and a TV for entertainment! We even have a special door leading to their fenced-in outdoor area, so they can roam and play whenever they want. Plus, to keep you in the loop, we send updates throughout the day so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is having a great time! Your pet will have the freedom to come and go as they please through their own doggy door, which leads to a private front porch enclosed by a secure six-foot fence. This safe outdoor space allows your dog to explore and enjoy the fresh air while keeping them protected. The covered porch provides an ideal spot for your furry friend to relax and soak up the sun, making it a perfect retreat for cozy naps throughout the day. Your dog will love having their own special area to lounge and bask in the warmth! Pet owners are responsible for providing their pets with the appropriate food and any necessary medications to ensure their health and well-being. Our kennels prioritize safety above all else, which is why each dog is housed in a secure space surrounded by a privacy fence. This separation prevents any mingling between dogs, creating a calm environment that protects their individual comfort and safety, as well as the safety of our caring family. We take every precaution to create a secure and nurturing environment for all dogs in our care.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.
About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals. I am currently working freelance and control my own schedule, so I can customize the level of care required to your needs. I'm happy to care for them at your home or take them on adventures to parks, hikes etc. Depending on your pet's needs, I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, training, boarding, and any other activities they enjoy. My demeanor is calm and patient, able to babysit a senior animal with special needs or entertain the most energetic of birddogs. I have experience in animal training for film and TV and am happy to offer those skills to teach new behaviors if requested.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
About: We have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including dogs who have stayed with us for extended periods. My wife also works in the grooming industry at an animal hospital, giving us additional experience handling and caring for dogs in a professional setting. We’re comfortable following individual care instructions and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I work gig work at night and my wife works days. There will always be someone here with you fur babies! No need to worry about your pet being locked up all day! Fenced yard, along with supervision whenever they go outside. Will also leash walk. Kennels if needed. We treat your pet, like our pet. We provide an interactive and fun environment!
About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Wynema with Harvest & Haven Farm. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Our farm is home to chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, dogs, and more, so your pet will be joining a family that’s used to providing lots of love, attention, and care. When your pet stays with us, they’ll have plenty of room to explore, play, and relax in a peaceful farm setting. I know every animal has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to run, cuddle, play, or simply nap in the sunshine, my goal is for them to feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾🌿 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already live and work on our farm. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s what I do every day. Since I’m on the property throughout the day, pets receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra cuddle time, medication, or a slower pace for senior pets. Because I spend so much of my day outdoors and around animals, your pet will be part of a calm, active environment where they’re treated like one of the family—not just another booking. 🐾🌿 Our entire property is fenced in. Your furrbaby will have 6 acres to explore and play. We also have a separate fenced paddock to separate animals, if need be.

About: I’ve had my own animals and taken care of neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. I have lots of experience with cats/kittens & dogs! I have two dogs of my own and a main coon cat. They are basically my children and I take pride in loving on them and treating them like royalty! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m open to all sorts of pet care! I would love to drop by for a walk, or stay overnight for a weekend! I am lucky to have the freedom of a flexible schedule. I will come to you! As much as I would love to have an animal slumber party, I don’t think my cat would approve. I will take care of your babies as much as they are mine. Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals and a soft spot for every furry friend I meet! From volunteering and rescuing animals to working in veterinary hospitals and caring for my own fur babies, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Veterinary Assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I’m comfortable with medications, special needs, senior pets, and providing the extra patience and care some pets need. When you’re away, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, playtime, cuddles, and regular updates so you can relax while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your fur babies like they’re my own! I just moved to the area and am currently not working so I have plenty of time and love to share with your furry friend. I completely understand the importance of a routine for our babies to stay happy and healthy. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I love providing in-home care. Staying in their familiar surroundings allows me to keep their normal routines as consistent as possible while you’re away. Depending on your pet’s needs, in-home care can include feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medications, litter box care, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave so your pets can stick to the routine they’re used to. While you’re away, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals. I am currently working freelance and control my own schedule, so I can customize the level of care required to your needs. I'm happy to care for them at your home or take them on adventures to parks, hikes etc. Depending on your pet's needs, I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, training, boarding, and any other activities they enjoy. My demeanor is calm and patient, able to babysit a senior animal with special needs or entertain the most energetic of birddogs. I have experience in animal training for film and TV and am happy to offer those skills to teach new behaviors if requested.
About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!

“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”

“Oh my gosh, what a blessing Pat was. Our two dogs are seniors, one with high anxiety issues. We worried about them causing her trouble and after the first night we were afraid we might have to cancel our vacation. Pat assured us that they would be fine, and they were. She was patient, even cooked them chicken and rice when they got diarrhea. She sent pictures and updates on them which really relieved our minds. I cannot say enough good things about the care the dogs received and hope that she will be available the next time. I would give her 10 stars if possible.”

About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Cristina was one of the best I’ve had to take care of my baby!! She was so sweet and provided around the clock pictures and updates. She was super helpful and communication was perfect. She also helped me care for my baby while she wasn’t feeling too good. My baby enjoyed her stay and I can’t wait to use Cristina’s services again. Considering this was my first time entrusting someone with her, we will definitely be back. Thank you once again!!”

“Yami is wonderful and our dog Bailey loves her. My puppy was sad when she came back cause she missed them soo much! I will definitely use them again and will also recommend to my friends.”

“I couldn't be happier with René! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that our dog wasn't just being boarded; he was truly welcomed into her family. She treated him like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be using her again!”

“We had a great experience with Mya! She watched our dog Ruby at her house. We got tons of pictures and communication.

Ashley was even quick to respond when I sprung a quick pick-up time. I appreciate her being flexible and positive when I gave her Veri little notice on pick up time. She was also very flexible on drop-off time as well. Life doesn't always go as planned and Ashley was very understanding and supportive.”

“Our dog, Riley, did so well at Sara’s home! Sara is incredibly attentive and made Riley feel so welcomed and safe during his stay! Sara also did a fantastic job communicating with us during his stay. We’ll definitely use Sara in the future! Thank you, Sara!”
