“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”
“Brook was an absolute lifesaver for my dog and me! From our first introduction, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. She took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, routines, and even his little quirks. While I was away, Brook sent sweet updates and adorable pictures that made me smile and feel totally at ease. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and full of energy—he obviously had a blast with her! If you want someone who treats your dog like family, Brook is the best choice out there!”
“Brooke and Bryan are absolutely wonderful! Ginger always has the best time with them and their family — I can tell she feels right at home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, safe hands while I’m away. Thank you again for taking such great care of my girl!”
“Mary is such a loving lady! It’s so reassuring knowing that Reggie is in good hands and receiving quality care 24/7 while we are away. Such a GREAT option for us instead of using a kennel or boarding service. I so appreciate Mary’s prompt response time when I need an update. AND she is such a friendly person and easy to love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”
“Destinee , thank you so much for taking awesome care of my fat boy. This was Kaliman's first time staying with Destinee and I hope it ain't the last. She was so good with Kaliman. Sent me lots of pictures . I know he had a great time with Destinee and her pets . Great communication and good vibes. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was with her . Thank you so much .....”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. Her son also adored him, which made me smile. I would not hesitate to book with Rubal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be back!”
“Sheila K. did a wonderful job watching our dogs at her home. One of our dogs is "special needs due to medical problems", and she accommodated her needs perfectly. Sheila would send pictures daily of our dogs, and I could tell that both dogs felt at home at Sheila's home. They also enjoyed spending time in her backyard.”
“Gabriel was beyond amazing he provided updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay! His doggies are so sweet and chill and our coco felt very much at home. I can tell by the videos that she was enjoying herself and she’s usually nervous when staying at other peoples houses. They let her sleep in their bed and snuggle and treated her as their own. You can tell they truly love animals we would 100% use them again thank you 🙏❤️”
“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”
“Leta and spouse treated my pups like royalty! We got lots of pictures and they were well loved, exercised and entertained. I’d highly recommend and will use them again. They even gave my pups a bath!”
“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”
“We had a planned trip and had never used a dog sitter before (just a traditional kennel) and we had a new puppy and a rescue senior we were worried about them feeling abandoned…..so we searched thru many people on Rover and found Deborah and Jeffrey….and were so glad we did! They were perfect! They treated our fur babies like they were at a resort and made sure they were having their own vacation with full house access (of their house!) We got full low down on everyone’s adventure. You can truly tell they love doggies and what they do!! We will definitely use them again!!!!!! Thanks guys!!”
“Jacklyn took such great care of our Rosie! She sent lots of updates and we could tell Rosie felt really comfortable in her home. We have Jacklyn booked again for an upcoming trip in a few weeks!”
“We recently moved to the area and I was so afraid we wouldn’t find a sitter that we liked and trusted as much as we did our sitter back home but no more worries! Rachel and her family took wonderful care of our big baby while we were gone on vacation and we’ve had to make several adjustments with times and haven’t had any problems. I was worried we wouldn’t make it home due to the snowstorm but Rachel assured me Cheeto would be safe, warm and loved until we made it home and was even ok with a late night pickup when we were finally home. Thank you so much Rachel!”
“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”

“We had Janis do drop-ins for our cats, Larry and Freddie, and she was terrific! She made sure their food and water were always complete, kept the litter box clean, and followed all of our requests. She spent time playing with the cats, kept us updated with great pictures, and was always easy to communicate with. Everything was handled smoothly, and we came home to two happy and well-cared-for cats. Highly recommend Janis for anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Trinity was reliable and timely with her visits and ensured our outside cat was fed and watered while we were away. We won’t hesitate to use her services again when we’re away.”
“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all personalities—from shy rescues to confident, playful cats. My own three cats have taught me how to read body language, understand moods, and create a space where every cat feels safe and at ease. I’m passionate about keeping cats healthy and happy, and I take pride in providing extra attention to the small details that make a big difference, like maintaining spotless litter boxes, offering daily play and enrichment, and ensuring each cat has a comfortable, quiet space if they need it.
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
“Nicole took great care of our senior cat while we were away for 3 weeks. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics. Will definitely book her for future drop in visits!”
“Kristina was very easy to work with and did a great job taking care of our cats. Great communication before, during, and after her visits. We'll definitely book Kristina again in the future.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were gone. She pilled our epileptic cat twice daily for the weekend we were away! Very thankful for her and a great Rover sitter for cats, especially those that need medication!”
About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. If needed, I can provide house sitting on weekends. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
“Natalie was amazing with our cat!! She followed the directions perfectly, was a great communicator, and went above and beyond with the check in notes and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“Catherine was great!! She is communicative and reliable. She was very flexible with coordinating drop-in visits for our two dogs. Will rebook with Catherine next time!”
“Autumn was wonderful with my elderly cat! She took care of everything and gave thorough updates. She also went above and beyond with cleaning up after his messes. I didn’t have to worry about a thing with Autumn!”
“Kylie did. Great job looking after our shy kitties for 10 days. Knew just how to approach them so one even came out to socialize ! We were very happy knowing they were being so well cared for.”
About: I have been sitting for my grandparents for about two years. I was lucky enough to care for their senior and work with his health problems. I specialize in cleaning up untimely dinner regurgitation as well as warding off obese cats from stealing their sibling's food.
About: I’ve had a cat for the last 11 years and love being available to check in on my friend’s and family member’s kitties too! I understand every cat has their own personality and needs. I have experience with young kittens, timid cats, senior cats and everything in between!

“Overall the experience was truly remarkable, we met Clint this morning and Pluto was already excited to meet him I definitely recommend you guys to anyone that needs a pet sitter”
“Julie was so amazing! So grateful for her care and willingness to watch him so last minute! She has the best and sweetest attitude and willing to make it work! Thank you Julie! You are a breath of fresh air!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and more since I was a child. I love fur babies and will give your baby the love and care he/she needs when you are away. I am home and can give the attention and care your pet needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in a walk, potty time or play time. I stay outside with my dog and cats while they play in the yard and on the large patio. Inside we all hang out together in the large living area, but I also have another room with a gate where a pet can go if she needs some space. I can have your dog sleep in the crate or outside the crate, whichever makes her the most comfortable and happy.
“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”
About: Over the past two years, I’ve been responsible for caring for a Golden Retriever from puppy to adulthood. I’m familiar with maintaining routines, handling energy levels, and making sure dogs feel safe and well cared for. I am a full-time work from home employee and I’m able to care for dogs while I work. I enjoy getting out to walk and play during the the work day. I have a smaller home, approx 1200 square feet. It’s a loving home with two teen girls who love to care for dogs. There is a fairly small fenced area in my backyard or dogs can get exercise and play.
About: I’ve had 2 pups for over a decade. Bonzo is my first born, a 12yr old Mini Aussie. He’s a trip and great with my kids. Recently lost my 15yr old Sheba Inu/German Shepherd mix. Akai was the love of my life. Not so great with the kids when they became mobile. We had a couple warning bites when the kids were toddlers. Everyone said to get rid of him, but I wouldn’t even consider it. Akai was telling the kids “he doesn’t like that” and the kids needed to learn to respect that. I understand and respect pups, sometimes better than people. I can try to teach the basics to a pup, but definitely not a dog trainer. I’ve considered getting another pup, but Akai was one of a kind. Instead I thought I could share my extra puppy love with other pups. I’m a single mom with two school age kids. So I am available during school hours, 8am-1pm. During the summer my schedule will vary, but mostly available every day of the week. My pup is one of the kids. I give him just as much love and attention as my kids. We have a fenced in backyard and quiet street for walks, if I decide to offer daycare or boarding.
About: Since a young age, I've had a passion for animals of all kinds. I've taken care of animals ranging from goldfish to bearded dragons to rabbits to doggies. I love them all, which is why I'm training to be a veterinary technician as I transition out of the technology industry, and eventually into a career as a veterinarian. I work from home full-time and am home pretty much all day, aside from the occasional appointment. So I am available to take your pup on lots of adventures. I can take your dog on a long walk at least once a day. I also live near Fort Ben, and like to dogs on longer hikes on the weekend.

“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”
About: My name is Jess and I am a graduate of Purdue’s Veterinary Nursing program! I worked in a clinic for several years and have since transitioned to a work from home role. Working from home gives me amazing flexibility to care for your dog! I have experience with fear free handling and am capable of caring for special needs and senior dogs. I am also eager to care for your energetic puppies as I love going on long walks. I am able to administer any medication that your pet may need. My experience in the clinic at Purdue has given me extensive knowledge about animal care. I would be so happy to provide your best friend with love while you’re away! Working from home allows me to have great flexibility to care for your pup! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks and tend to your pups needs throughout the day. Pets are treated like family here and I will make it my priority to make sure your pup is comfortable! I have one small dog and a cat. My cat is very friendly with dogs and enjoys playing with them.
“Absolutely LOVED meeting with Mary and Her husband. VERY friendly couple, and our Marshall came home Wore out!! Definitely can tell their love their furry visitors. Will be repeating visits with them in the future”
“Pete had a good time, got to.play with other dogs in a nice backyard, and Sheila was very easy to work with and easy to schedule a meet n greet with. I'm sure we will be back. I appreciate her willing to take Pete for my odd work hours.”
About: My love for dogs and cats. My theory of FurKids are like children to be treated with love, caring and providing their needs. I have my two dogs. They are my world. I would treat yours like mine. I am happy to help other if you need me. We can discuss which is I am flexible and open to discuss I am available from Sunday to Saturday. Can be morning or night. I can take care when you are not home for long hours, away from home I can do daily walk, drop in visit, stay in as needs. From 7 days and 24 hours. From range puppy/kittens to senior. Would Preference small to medium dogs.
“Lauren was fantastic with my two pups for doggy day care! She took some really sweet photos, was flexible with drop off and pick up and they were really happy and relaxed with her. 100% recommend!”

About: I'm a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to grow up with lots of pets from rodents to dogs to horses. I've walked big (150lb+) dogs, small dogs, and everything in between with no issues. Until I was 15 years old, my dad had my siblings and I convinced he was allergic to cats because he didn't want us asking to get one. Jokes on him that the majority of us are now cat parents. While I've had my menace of a cat (I love her to pieces even though she's turning my hair as gray as hers) for only a few years, I've still been around cats throughout my life and am attuned to their particular brand of affection. I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. If you're looking for a non-dog or cat sitter, give me a shot! I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. No animal's needs are too particular or niche for me. Must walk counterclockwise around the block? Easy. Food must be microwaved for 12 seconds, but stop it with one second on the clock? No problem. Got to pretend their medicine is human food that was "accidentally" spilled on the floor and I need to "rush" to pick it up before Fido gets it? Done. My availability leans more towards the morning or evening, but I'm happy to work with you to best fit your care requirements. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, especially for weekends, but if you're wondering if I'm available please don't hesitate to ask! No amount of instructions are too much for me! I once left three hand written pages of notes on how to care for my hamster. I will follow them to the letter, and not hesitate to ask if I have any questions. Ensuring your family member is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their home is my number one priority.
About: I've had dogs since I was born and throughout my entire life. I've had puppies, senior dogs, and all big dogs! I've been sitting for neighbors and friends for years, too. I love to play inside or outside. My specialty is cuddling the love bugs. I'm currently working a very flexible part time job and I have a reliable vehicle, so pet care fits very easily into my day! I keep a close eye on all the pets (mostly because I'm trying to get them to hang out with me). I set reminders and have notes to keep on top of things and never forget a step! I am very attentive to my surroundings when I am sitting so I can keep the love bugs safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 25 years. As well, I always had a dog and/or cat while growing up as a kid. I love animals and looking to make some extra cash on the side. I am working part-time so looking to do something extra on my days off. I typically have a flexible schedule to help out when you need it. I will care for your fur babies and give them love and attention as if they were my own. I will make sure they are comfortable while you are away.
About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have knowledge with working dogs, police, dogs, rescue dogs, all of the above. I have a retired police dog and a rescue pup along with three cats. I’m familiar with young dogs, senior dogs dogs that need medication, all that fun stuff. I’m very passionate about helping and taking care of animals and I thoroughly enjoy meeting all different types of animals and getting to know their personalities. I just graduated high school so I am free every day. I’m willing to do overnight days, weekly stays drop in visits. My schedule is always very flexible. We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a dedicated animal lover based in Greenfield, IN 🐾 I’ve had dogs my entire life and have worked with them professionally for the past 6 years. I also spent nearly 2 years working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to include a short walk during visits if time allows or provide dedicated walks as needed. I work full-time during the day, so I’m available for consistent morning and evening visits with the potential for mid day. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with larger dogs and always aim to treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. I’d love to set up a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for you and your pet 🤍 I work full time Monday- Friday 7:30-3:30. I am mostly available Friday-Sunday but will be available for potty breaks throughout the week day as well. I currently have three dogs. I have a Labrador, Golden Retriever, and a Beagle. I am used to big dogs so I will have no problem handling those big pups of yours.
About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.
About: Hi! My name is Susannah, and I'm a 24-year-old animal lover living in Indianapolis with my husky and orange cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all sizes and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets every day, I regularly help care for my family's three large dogs and two cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats, including larger breeds. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and cat care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medication (if needed and instructed), and lots of attention and affection. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I'll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I strive to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.
“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”
“Lauren is amazing! She responded quickly when I first reached out and made time for a meet and greet, which immediately put me and my pup at ease. When she takes my dog for a walk. she always shares thoughtful updates and the cutest photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My dog adores her, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I’ll definitely continue using Lauren as my dog walker—she’s the best!”
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of friends' dogs and cats on and off throughout the years with no problems and I really enjoy caring for for fur babies! I also care for chickens from time to time! I'm pretty flexible with my schedule! I can stop by your house a couple of times a day or stay over night if needed. Right now I cannot keep pets at my house. I will follow the instructions you give me and lovingly care for your pet as if it were my own. I can transport your dog to park if needed.
About: Aside from caring for my own animals, I have dog and cat sat for friends and family in the past. I'm a huge animal advocate and lover, so much so that I am a vegetarian and have issues with the way animals are treated from slaughter houses, to puppy mills. Animals are truly my best friends and I can't think of anything I would enjoy more than taking care of others and the bonus is getting paid for it. I have had pets since I was small and taking care of animals brings me a lot of joy and comfort in my life and its what I prefer. What better way to make money than by doing what you love most. I enjoy walking daily so bring a special little fur buddy along would be a huge plus. I’m dog sitting full time on most days. Have retired and am now doing what I enjoy the most. Please contact me anytime day or night. Your pet is very safe in my home. Fenced in back yard and dog friendly inside through and through. My dogs are older and get along with all dogs.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 5 years, and it’s taught me a lot of responsibility. I used to dog walk for my neighbors before I moved. Also, I have a lot of patience when it comes to dogs. I’ll feed, walk, play, and even give your dog a bath if needed. I wake up early everyday to let my dog go outside. And I try to take my dog for walks everyday before dinner. I’m not a busy person so I’m always home ready to take care of the dogs Pets in my house are allowed on furniture and beds. I make sure to vacuum frequently because of the fur. I live in a 3 story house, with plenty of room for my dog and the dog I’m sitting. I live in a suburban development, with a safe route to walk dogs.
About: I have lots of experience in pets from birthing to seniors! I’ve done plenty of puppy training and I’ve worked with animals my entire life! Hello! I work full time during the week 8:15-4:30 and I do Rover on the side to help pay for my college! I have much more free time on the weekends but if you book for weekdays I’ll make sure your babies get the love and care they need! In my home I always make sure that my pets needs come first, if I notice a behavior I always try to find the root of it before making changes.
About: I live in Indianapolis with my husband and our two cats! We can’t yet afford our own dog, but I always jump at the chance to walk with, jog with, pet, feed, and love on other dogs! (See photos for proof). However, cats really have a special place in my heart. I also worked at two different veterinarian’s offices in 2020, 2023, and 2026 where we cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I am pet sitting while job searching, so I’m available to give your pets whatever they may need, whether that be medicine, special food, lots of bathroom breaks, or just some affection. Thanks for reading! I left a corporate job because the strict etiquette rules and micromanagement left me unfulfilled. Now, I am on the hunt for whatever my next step is! To you, this means I am very flexible with scheduling. In my clients’ home, I will pay attention to all notes and requests from the owner. If an owner says “no dogs on the couch”, as much as it pains me, that is what I will follow!
“Shirley is amazing, she takes such good care of our animals and is always letting me know when she enters and leaves the home. She takes tons of pics and keeps me in the loop if any concerns. Highly recommend. We've had several walkers through other services and she is the best!”

“Brook was an absolute lifesaver for my dog and me! From our first introduction, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. She took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, routines, and even his little quirks. While I was away, Brook sent sweet updates and adorable pictures that made me smile and feel totally at ease. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and full of energy—he obviously had a blast with her! If you want someone who treats your dog like family, Brook is the best choice out there!”
“Brooke and Bryan are absolutely wonderful! Ginger always has the best time with them and their family — I can tell she feels right at home. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, safe hands while I’m away. Thank you again for taking such great care of my girl!”
“Mary is such a loving lady! It’s so reassuring knowing that Reggie is in good hands and receiving quality care 24/7 while we are away. Such a GREAT option for us instead of using a kennel or boarding service. I so appreciate Mary’s prompt response time when I need an update. AND she is such a friendly person and easy to love. 10/10 recommend!”

“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. Her son also adored him, which made me smile. I would not hesitate to book with Rubal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be back!”
“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”
“Leta and spouse treated my pups like royalty! We got lots of pictures and they were well loved, exercised and entertained. I’d highly recommend and will use them again. They even gave my pups a bath!”
“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”
“We recently moved to the area and I was so afraid we wouldn’t find a sitter that we liked and trusted as much as we did our sitter back home but no more worries! Rachel and her family took wonderful care of our big baby while we were gone on vacation and we’ve had to make several adjustments with times and haven’t had any problems. I was worried we wouldn’t make it home due to the snowstorm but Rachel assured me Cheeto would be safe, warm and loved until we made it home and was even ok with a late night pickup when we were finally home. Thank you so much Rachel!”
“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”
“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our Maggie girl! She usually doesn’t do well with boarding, but we didn’t have to worry about her at all while she was there! We will absolutely use them again.”
“Truman had a great time, as always! Came home tired and ready for a long nap. We were away for several days, and I enjoyed all the pictures and updates about his stay with Kari and Clint.”
“She took such great care of our pups and treated them like her own. We got lots of updates, and they were so happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Super reliable, kind, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“We left our Dalmatian, Gracie, with Precious and Thomas for a full week while we were on a family vacation to North Carolina, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, they were wonderful. Gracie was clearly well cared for—she was happy, healthy, well fed, and in great spirits when we picked her up. It gave us real peace of mind to know she was in such capable and loving hands while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Precious and Thomas to anyone looking for responsible and caring pet sitters. They treated Gracie like family, and we are so grateful!”
“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”
“Julie is amazing! I could have left 20 reviews by now because she’s been watching my boy for over a year. You can tell he loves her. She’s extremely responsive and always sends pics while I’m away. I was going out of town and Jax needed allergy medication for his ears and she made sure he was taken care of the whole time.”
