“Jamie was very kind and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them and kept us updated while we were gone. They liked her and had a great time. We would definitely come back again.”
“I would 100% recommend erin! She is absolutely the best with our baby boy thor. Our dog could be a handful at times but he is the sweetest. You could just tell that they bonded for just even a few days we left him. I would not hesitate to leave him with her cause I know she will take good care of our boy! ?”
“Jason and his family were incredible. They sent pictures and our dogs were completely happy. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing family. Thank you jaz so much. Carena”
“Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.
“Gabrielle took GREAT care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he got plenty of walks. We will definitely be rebooking!”

“Mallory took good care of my cat while I was away, including administering medication. She did exactly what I asked and kept me informed. Would definitely use her again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!”
“As usual, Ashlyn did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby! She is SO flexible; it totally sets you at ease when your flight gets delayed…twice! She is always willing to step up and step in if/when needed if my travel plans are unexpectedly extended. So grateful to have her caring for Cricket! So nice to walk into my place just as I left it also!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLYN for all your pet care needs. 👍👍”

“Mallory was great. She was very responsive and was able to help us out on very short notice. She sent pictures and made sure everything was as taken care of when she left.”
About: I've been a caretaker of dogs, cats, parrots, rats, rabbits, reptiles, horses, emus, pigs, goats, sheep, waterfowl, poultry and wildlife for over 20 years. I worked professionally at a boarding facility for years. I have knowledge in training and behavior for a variety of spieces. I'm experienced in administering medications to about any animal you could think of. I have a Pomeranian and Bichon Frisé Shih Tzu that I love to groom myself as a hobby. So if you wanted to discuss a possible hair cut for your dog during his/her stay, I'd be open to that! I wanted to add, I've been away from Rover since Oct. 2022. I'm back on as of Jan. 4th 2026. I'm always home, with the exception of running out to do "drop in" visits or an errand. I'm usually available to pick up / drop off also, if you needed to discuss that option! I have an area fenced in for safe potty breaks. For dogs with a strong recall, I have 6 acres to run! I can accommodate the snuggly dogs that can't bear to be left alone long and also anti-social/more difficult dogs who just needs a place to stay and it's difficult to find options for. I have several "Retriever" kennel panels and can build either outdoor kennels with dig proof wire floor or indoor kennels in my walk-out basement (if requested).
“Both of my dogs eagerly await Brandi's visits. She walks my puppy, gives treats to my senior chihuahua, and sends me a detailed summary along with great pictures. I love knowing my pets are safe and well taken care of with Brandi.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.
About: I have 8 years of animal experience. - SPCA of Brazoria County, TX; Cat, Puppies, and Small Dog Team Lead. - The Cattery(An SPCA location) Co Manager & Medical Supervisor - Richwood, TX; Pet Resort & Daycare kennel staff - Wright Way Medical & Admissions campus, animal caregiver! Positivity and fun are what I accel at! I understand enrichment is very important to any animals mental health. Let me know what you expect and I will exceed those expectations. I've loved every animal as my own and look forward to bonging with yours and gaining both yours and your fur babies trust. I can be there for you and your pets when YOU need it. I keep a very open availability. Let connect and make positive animal relationships! I understand enrichment is vital to keeping an animal of any kind happy and healthy. Enrichment will always be given, in the form of toys, games, and treats during "command" time(where I like to test an animals ability and knowledge, when it comes to basic commands). I love going out and playing fleth, and then taking your baby for a nice, relaxing walk. I personally have two rescue bully's(all of which are people, child, and animal friendly).
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to lizards and spiders, I love them all! I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as a turtle, hermit crabs, a chinchilla, ferret, and many more. For training to senior-pet experience, look no further! Big or small, I love them all! Currently looking to go back to school, my schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I’m happy to apply your pets’ schedule to my day to day routine. I will be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Ensuring your home is maintained during your absence is a top priority!
About: I'm patient, reliable, and attentive! I have experience with dogs both big and small, from puppies to seniors. I will treat your pup as if it's one of my own; from belly rubs to fetch sessions to cozy naptime, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and happy! You will get regular updates, photos and peace of mind knowing your dog is truly cared for while you're away! I structure my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet cuddle time. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I'm used to planning my week with pets in mind. Caring for dogs is not something I just squeeze in, I genuinely enjoy and prioritize! For dog walks and check-ins, I follow your pet's routine closely, making sure they're fed, exercised, and comfortable while you're away. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cozy rest time. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels and needs. I always communicate with updates and photos, so you feel at ease and confident with their care.
About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
