“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Bailey is our go-to person for Nero! She takes excellent care of him and always keeps us updated. We are very grateful to have found someone we can trust and count on whenever we need someone to watch him. ❤️🐕🦺🐾🦴”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“We have left our little Gracie with the Hulsey's multiple times and every time we have been very happy with her care while she's there. More importantly, Gracie is happy - she gets so excited when we get to their house. It's such a relief to know that she is being well cared for while we're away.”
“I am so thankful we found DeAnne to watch our 3 dogs when we are away. She loves them and cares about them as if they are her own. They also enjoy going to her house for a weekly daycare day. Their ears perk right up when we say “DeAnne”!”
“Stephanie and her family took such great care of our dog while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures and videos. Even gave her a bath! I couldn't have asked for a better experience for us and our dog. Thank you!”
“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tammy as our dog sitter for the first time. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by prioritizing Milo’s safety and well-being. She was extremely attentive and caring, ensuring everything was handled with love and professionalism. We especially appreciated her frequent updates and photos, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure Milo felt comfortable and cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter — we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”
“Tully had a blast with Natalie and her family!! She had so much fun I was a little nervous she wouldn’t want to come back with us! Haha! Loved them!! They treated her like their own and had the best week! We will sooo use them again for our next vaca! The best! ❤️❤️”
“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)”
“Chayna was great! She took great care of Chevie and immediately started loving on her when we arrived! Chevie was tired and happy when we got home :) Will definitely use Chayna’s services again!”
“Amy was wonderful. She watched our 2 dogs while on fall break. She sent us lots of photos and updates during their stay and even asked questions when needed. I would recommend and will definitely be bringing my dogs back to see Amy.”

“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. :)”
“Courtney was great! She came over before the job started to get instructions and meet our pets, asking questions and getting to know everyone. She was thorough in doing the job and was responsive when we communicated. I can highly recommend Courtney as a responsible pet sitter- thanks, Courtney!”
“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.”
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.
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
“Morgan was wonderful from start to finish. We booked a drop-in visit first so Coco could meet her before committing to house sitting, and it turned out to be a perfect match. Coco is the shyest dog in the world and is usually very hesitant around new people. Morgan was incredibly patient and allowed Coco to approach her at her own pace without any pressure. By the end of the visit, Coco was comfortable enough to let Morgan pet her and be close to her, which is something she rarely does with strangers. Morgan is kind, gentle, and clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs. We were so happy to find her and feel very confident leaving Coco in her care. We will definitely be booking house sitting with Morgan and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter.”
About: I currently own 3 cats, Oreo, Chris, and Wilson. I have had and cared for cats as long as I can remember. Whether it is just cleaning a litter box and putting out food or if it's administering medication I have you covered. Playing with cats to get their energy out is one of my favorite things to do!
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!
“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.”
About: There has not been a moment in my life where I did not own a cat. I absolutely love them. I’ve gone from having a kitten, to raising her kittens, to even rescuing my cat that I have now, off of the street. I promise your purrbaby is in good paws with me! 🤍
About: Cats hold a truly special place in my heart, and I have spent over two decades ensuring they get the precise, stress-free care they need. My hands-on experience ranges from volunteering extensively with shelter cats at HSNEG, hall county animal shelter, and Furkids, to loving and raising my very own feline companions over the years. Currently, I get my cat fix by spoiling my wonderful "cat nephew" Binx and "cat niece" Freya! Because of my shelter and veterinary-adjacent background, I am uniquely equipped to handle all cat personalities. Whether your cat is an outgoing social butterfly who craves interactive playtime, or a shy rescue who needs a patient, quiet presence to feel safe, I adjust my energy to match their comfort level. I am fully confident scooping litter, managing complex feeding schedules, and keeping your cats happy right in their own environment.

“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!”

“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!”
About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
About: I’ve had all pets from, kittens, puppies, geckos, chameleons, fish, and birds! I love spending time with animals and Id love to spend time with/ take care of yours! 🤍 I have full time availability as a SAHM and would like to devote my time to helping pet owners in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas, to give their fur babies the love and attention they deserve while you take care of your priorities! I have grown up around many animals from kittens, to dogs, to even horses and have been taught the proper way to approach and handle dogs who may be shy, or have a temperament towards new people. I am also very cautious with the temps outside when walking dogs to insure their paws are not burned in the or picking up mud with the unpredictable GA weather. Your babies would we treated as one of my own 🫶🏼
About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. 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! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.
“Yu was so pleasant and her property for my 2 dogs were a perfect outdoor space, fenced so very safe. The pups did a doggie daycare day prior to a week long stay later this year. I feel very comfortable leaving then on the future stay. From conversation with Yu it's clear she is very knowledgeable about dogs. I definitely recommend Yu.”
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.
“Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: 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: 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.
“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: I have 5 dogs and a cat of my own. My friends and family have trusted me for years to take care of their fur babies while on vacations/nights away for years. I work from home, so I’m available to give my attention to fur babies all throughout the day. Your animals would be free to play all day. Your pets would be with me all day whether it’s taking a nap in my office or running around in the back yard with new friends. We have a large fenced in yard for all to play and never leave them unsupervised.
“Her flexibility was so very important on this trip and she went with the flow of our revisions amazingly well. She's terrific and very loving to our dog Betsy who is deaf and 13 years old. Betsy was held and cuddled the entire stay. It's obvious that she's a committed and caring dog lover. What a treasure in these hills! Highly recommend her services to any and everyone considering her to care for your dog! You won't find better!”
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.
“I was searching for a last minute sitter (within the hour!!) and Michael was thankfully able to accommodate me. My pup came back happy from all the excitement of staying with him, and if I’m ever in town again, I will definitely reach out to him!”

“Bailey is awesome! Just what I needed as I’m going through chemo and needed my pup to get some exercise. She loves River and River loves her! You can tell because River is waiting but the door for her on the days she walks her! Bailey is dependable, mature and obviously loves dogs. She’s updates the app so that I know of any changes or additions (she has permission to keep walking River is she’s still wanting to walk and Bailey has the time!!). Payment is easy and if walked extra it can be automatically added! I’m so glad a friend referred ROVER to me!! I would have never found Bailey -someone we desperately needed right now to keel our pup happy, healthy & tired!”

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

About: I've been taking care of dogs most of my life. I have had two dogs myself as well as walked family and friends dogs. I love all animals so much and I'm willing to help with any pet you have. I do now have a Monday - Friday full time job but I'm always available and willing to make time for your lovely fur babies. I walk my dog daily and he is as spoiled as they come. I'll check food, water, and I'll do meds. Also unlimited love and play times.

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 can administer medications to most dogs and am happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and daily routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I work hard to care for them exactly as you would. I love taking photos and sending regular updates, so you’ll know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind. I have recently retired from full-time employment as a teacher. I spend my free time with the animals on my small personal farm and volunteering with Save the Horses Rescue. I prefer to care for pets in their own environments, adhering closely to their regular routines and feeding. Keeping schedules structured minimizes stress for most animals. I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.
About: I have been an animal lover since before I can even remember. I was the kid bringing home every stray (including opossum babies). For the past 20 years, that passion has shaped my life. Beyond volunteering for incredible local organizations like Hall County Animal Services, Furkids, and Gwinnett County Shelter, I spent 6 years volunteering with the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia (HSNEGA) before officially joining their team as a staff member for over a year. Today, my own home is filled with love from my 5 rescue dogs. When I’m not caring for my own pack, I spend 4 hours a day working hands-on with working-line German Shepherds, which has given me deep experience handling strong, high-energy breeds and understanding complex canine behavior. My background also includes working on two farms, so if your home includes chickens, goats, or horses, I can easily manage their daily care, too! Medical & Special Needs Comfort Thanks to my extensive background in shelter operations and animal welfare, I am highly confident and experienced in administering medications. Whether your pet requires oral pills, topical ointments, eye drops, or special dietary tracking, I can safely maintain their medical routines while you are away. I specialize in reliable drop-in visits that keep your pets happy and on their schedule. I am available for: • Early morning check-ins (6:00–6:30 AM) • Mid-day lunch breaks (12:00 PM) • Dinner/late afternoon visits (4:00 PM) • Evening/bedtime visits (8:00 PM) • Weekend and holiday availability I have a long list of local references who trust me implicitly with their animals. I can't wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family members and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I am currently taking a break from full time work, so I am available any day of the week. I am home the majority of the day. I am off at 1130am. I have a fenced in yard, and 5 dog friendly pups. I have experience with crating and rotating pups if you would rather keep them separated. I am used to handling multiple dogs.
About: I have owned and cared for pets for my whole life, including cats, dogs, fish and more. When I was growing up my family fostered German and Australian shepherds through K-9 Pet Rescue. I have also raised many litters of kittens and puppies, and ducklings as well! I am a very active person and would love to meet your pets! My schedule is 100% open, 24/7. I work from home and can accommodate any dates or times needed. I am happy to spend the time needed to provide companionship for your pet. I understand the importance of safety and security: indoor cats stay inside and leashed animals remain on leash at all times. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care.
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 volunteer at a vet for 8 months and learned so much about taking care of pets! I’ve walked dogs for family and friends as well! I love animals and currently have a lot of free time to do so! I’m interested in pressuring an animal care career and hope to use this experience as a tool in the future. My job is to always keep your fur baby happy and save at all times! I will exceed the basics of caring and watching over them.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve worked with many puppies and senior dogs, so I understand their special needs — from extra playtime and training patience to gentle care and comfort. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company, your furry friend will always be in good hands with me! I have two dogs and one cat of my own at home and I take care of them daily, I was employed at a doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility for 2 years. Feeding, watering, bathing, scooping poop, maintaining cleanliness, and giving lots of love and affection was my entire job! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles. I always take time to make pets feel comfortable and loved, keeping their space clean and their environment calm. I send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and cared for. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I’ve had all pets from, kittens, puppies, geckos, chameleons, fish, and birds! I love spending time with animals and Id love to spend time with/ take care of yours! 🤍 I have full time availability as a SAHM and would like to devote my time to helping pet owners in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas, to give their fur babies the love and attention they deserve while you take care of your priorities! I have grown up around many animals from kittens, to dogs, to even horses and have been taught the proper way to approach and handle dogs who may be shy, or have a temperament towards new people. I am also very cautious with the temps outside when walking dogs to insure their paws are not burned in the or picking up mud with the unpredictable GA weather. Your babies would we treated as one of my own 🫶🏼
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!

We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!

“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“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)”

“Ben seems to do really well in the environment Yui creates for doggy daycare and overnight stays. Our dog has food allergies and some anxiety so he licks a lot. He came home happy, his skin in great shape and I think he enjoyed his overnight stay with some dog friends based on the pictures we received.”
