“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”

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


“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”

“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”

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


“Amy was so nice, welcoming, and accommodating for my pups special needs. She took great care of them while I was away and gave me plenty of updates! 11/10 would recommend!”

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

“Tammy is outstanding, our puppy enjoyed the time with Tammy provided continuous feedback and pictures giving us a sense of security that our puppy was very well cared for during our vacation. We will not hesitate to book with Tammy again for care of our puppy while we are on travel. Cecille and Jerry”

“Stephanie was amazing. We will definitely come back with her. Our Beauty is getting old and feeling apprehensive. She usually cry and feels terrible when we leave her at her previous boarding place it is just heart breaking. This time was so different Beauty felt secure, loved, and happy. Stephanie is very professional, she very patience the day we meet her. Stephanie prepared Beauty before we picked her up. It was a very street free time. We love Miss Stephanie !!!”


“Yui was amazing with our pup. He had some tummy issues while we were on vacation and Yui went above and beyond to care for him, even making him chicken and rice. She was also super flexible when our travel plans got changed at the last minute. We are so grateful for her care of our dog!”

“Anna was amazing and sent me multiple photos and videos of our dogs each day. She was great and so kind. I would recommend her to anyone and I plan to use her services again in the future.”

“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”


“DeAnne was awesome with updates during DOG's stay. The dogs got along great and I know DOG enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely use DeAnne's services again.”

“We were nervous leaving our shy girl with someone while we traveled. Dahlia was kind, patient, and excellent with communicating little updates (ex. she ate all her dinner, she’s been stealthily playing when she thinks no one is watching, etc) . She really set our mind at ease. I would ask her to cat sit again without any hesitation.”

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

“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”

“Rene was fabulous with my little morkie Stella! She sent me multiple updates a day as well as pictures. I will be using Rene again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“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 ♥️”

“Maggie was the absolute best. She is so sweet and was willing to do whatever I needed for our sweet babies. She communicated clearly and I knew our girls (cats) were in good hands and never worried. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.”


“Bailey is hands down the best person ever to watch your dog. She is great with our big 65 pound Australian poodle and she is a natural around him. She was never late taking Romo out and it’s clear she is passionate about dogs. Definitely plan on booking her again in the future!”

“Bailey did an amazing job with my cats! She asked plenty of clarifying questions during the meet-n-greet and provided updates while I was gone. My cats especially appreciated that she took time to play with them when she stopped in. Even my camera-shy cat made several appearances for her. :)”

About: I have had animals in my family since I was barely walking. I currently have two dogs and two cats. I took care of my neighborhood feral and stray cats for years and have fostered dogs. I am self employed and work from home and my afternoons and weekends have had some free time. I love meeting new pets and helping people while they’re away I am not typically tied to a time constraint and am able to spend the time necessary to ensure the clients pets are taken care of to the level that I would want my pets taken care of
“Lisa took excellent care of my daughters cat, Pixie, while we were away. She was very engaging & provided thoughtful updates on how Pixie was doing, which gave us peace of mind. Administering medication can sometimes be tricky, but Lisa handled it with no issues. I truly appreciate her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”


About: I am comfortable caring for both indoor and outdoor cats. I have experience with cat rescue and fostering and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. For indoor cats, I am mindful of doors, windows, screens, plants, and other safety concerns. I am able to administer medications to most cats and am happy to follow detailed care instructions. I also have experience caring for outdoor cats, including providing enrichment, monitoring shelters and winter housing, and graciously handling the occasional "gift" they may leave behind. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away.

“Camille provided exceptional care to our fur babies for a week long trip! She went above and beyond with communication and making sure our pets were taken care of how we would want. We will definitely be asking her to taken care of our pets for the next trip!”


About: I have been a cat owner for 3 years now. She is my only child, and gets top notch care. I know the importances of our small furry friends and what it means to care for them. Starting slow and steady with each cat is my approach. I know how timid they may start out, but I also know how intriguing a Churu pouch can be! Cat care requires respecting their space and energy and meeting them where they are. Being extra careful of open doors, making sure they’ve not trapped themselves in a cabinet, or ensuring they’re not on the top rack of the closet (yes each of these has happened to me lol) is the mindful care I take when working with cats!

“We have booked Melani every so often for over a year now. She is so kind, and takes care of our kitty so well! Highly recommend booking Melani for all of you pet sitting needs!”


About: I’ve had cats since my college days, and have come to love and appreciate their individual personalities and hierarchy in the home! Whether living as an only pet cat or co-existing with your other animals, rest assured I will treat them as family members and the feline royalty that they are!

“Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.”

“I wish I could tip higher but rover won’t let me tip more than 30%. Amber is reliable and a great cat sitter! She’s able to find my shy cat, and makes sure they are fed, have water, litter scooped and well taken care of.”


“Ryan, was wonderful. Did more than I asked which was terrific. One of my kitties is old and not well. He kept me posted on how he was doing and sent pictures of both my babies. Would definitely use Ryan again.”

“My dog had an incredible experience at Ryan’s. It was the first I have used this service. I was a little nervous, but was immediately put at ease by Ryan’s, kind calm demeanor. He has a beautiful home with a nice back yard for dogs to play in and his dog are sweethearts. I could not have hoped for a better situation for my pup.”
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”

Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets!

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

My top priority is your pet's safety and well-being, and I always adapt to their specific routines and needs with patience and affection. More than just a commitment, caring for them is my way of celebrating the bond of loyalty and unconditional love that only dogs can offer. Your best friend will be in the very best hands!. Currently, I have the necessary time to attend to every one of your dog's needs—from daily walks to feeding and general care. My commitment is to provide a safe and attentive environment, ensuring their complete well-being while they are under my care. I am available Monday through Sunday—some days in the mornings, and others in the afternoons. I offer a safe and supervised environment where your pet's well-being is the top priority; I maintain clear routines, constant communication, and secure spaces to ensure a peaceful and risk-free stay.

“Yuwadee is absolutely fantastic! My dog Athena absolutely LOVED spending the day with Yuwadee while I was at work and living with my parents. She has a big yard for dogs to run around in and plenty of space to go for walks! My dog Athena would be exhausted at the end of the day from playing and be very excited to go back! I would 100% recommend her, especially if you need someone to care for your fur baby for an 8+ hour day or overnights.”

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


“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)

About: Here, your pup can run, play, and rest easy. We have a large fenced yard in a friendly neighborhood conveniently located right behind the North Georgia Outlet Mall off 400. Your furry family member will also enjoy the company of our sweet dog, Cooper, who loves making new friends and having doggy playdates. If your pup prefers their own space or has any special needs, we can easily keep them separated to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Our family has owned and cared for dogs our entire lives, and we truly can’t wait to meet yours and treat them like one of our own! I’m home full-time, which means your dog will get plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, and all the love and attention they deserve. I actually tried starting this business in the past, but my work schedule didn’t allow me to give it my full focus. Now that I’m home for good, I’m so excited to finally dedicate my days to caring for your furry family members. Your pets will be treated just like my own! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and loved from the moment they arrive. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications. I provide plenty of outdoor breaks, supervised playtime, and lots of one-on-one attention. My home has a finished basement with a cozy dog area that’s perfect for crate time or quiet naps. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and animals with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure pets stick to their familiar environment and routines. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Stephanie was amazing with Teddy while we explored the city! You can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We had been traveling with Teddy for over two weeks, and she even gave him a bath so he was clean and fresh when we picked him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”


About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.

I also send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for many years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and other farm animals. Having owned dogs ranging from 4 to 125 pounds, I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs.

I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.
“We feel so lucky to have found Lisa on Rover. She’s been amazing with our dog Finn and when we had to change plans unexpectedly due to illness, she was incredibly flexible and understanding. It took so much stress off our shoulders. Lisa is reliable, kind and truly cares, we couldn’t recommend her more!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”

My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog walker who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient with all personalities and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a fun walk to burn off energy, or some extra attention during the day, I’m here to help. I focus on making each walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐶 I’m currently in college and looking for part time work! I’m pretty available during the week and would love to get to know your pup. I’m very flexible and leave open time in my schedule to attend to your pups needs. My dogs and cats are nothing but spoiled! I love adding healthy little treats to their meals, surprising them with new toys, and getting to play with them whenever!
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs, cats and reptiles ect. for 11+ years. Making sure your animals are happy and well cared for while you are gone is my main priority! I also have a lot of experience with senior animal care. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals during the week and weekends! I make sure your pets are always safe with me, I take care to pay attention to my surroundings when out and about with your pet. I make sure your animal always has their needs met no matter the circumstance.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 12-14 years old. I grew up surrounded by all types of dogs and cats and have developed a huge love for them. I am currently a part-time college student and receptionist looking to make some extra money! I will have a free schedule until August when school starts. I will watch and care for your dog at any hours. If needed, I can crate your dog or stay at my place. I have a fur baby of my own who is sweet and loving.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”

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


“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”

“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”

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


“Amy was so nice, welcoming, and accommodating for my pups special needs. She took great care of them while I was away and gave me plenty of updates! 11/10 would recommend!”

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


“Yui was amazing with our pup. He had some tummy issues while we were on vacation and Yui went above and beyond to care for him, even making him chicken and rice. She was also super flexible when our travel plans got changed at the last minute. We are so grateful for her care of our dog!”

“Anna was amazing and sent me multiple photos and videos of our dogs each day. She was great and so kind. I would recommend her to anyone and I plan to use her services again in the future.”

“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”


“DeAnne was awesome with updates during DOG's stay. The dogs got along great and I know DOG enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely use DeAnne's services again.”

“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”

“Rene was fabulous with my little morkie Stella! She sent me multiple updates a day as well as pictures. I will be using Rene again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“My dog, Margo had a great time. I didn't have to worry about her being locked up all week. She had space to run and play and lots of attention and love. Yuwadee sent plenty of pictures and updates, and Margo loved her!”

About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
“Heather was extremely communicative and she showed so much care for Aries. He loved their backyard and there was so much space for him to roam around. We even lost his tags and they were able to help us retrieve the tags.”


“Chayna was awesome at taking care of Ace. He even made a new fur friend. She has great communication, loving environment, and I felt completely at ease. Highly recommend.”
