“I loved the daily pictures from Katie. It made me feel closer to them. They had a great vacation with Katie while we had a vacation. Thank you Katie. We will use you again for sure!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of Winston. She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout his stay. She also spent plenty of time exercising him and engaging with him. Will absolutely be looking to board with Jennifer again in the future.”
“Michael and Anne always take great care of our 12 year old lab Brody and we don't worry one bit while we are away. Brody gets plenty of walks and TLC and they put our yoga mats on any hard surface floors as he is afraid of slipping in his old age. He is always happy to go there!”
“We have sent our pup to Natalie many times now and she is consistently fantastic! She keeps us up to date with pictures and our dog always comes home happy. I would continue to recommend Natalie to anyone in need of dog sitting.”
“Lisa was great! I took my dog over to meet Lisa, her kids and dog prior to him staying there for an upcoming weekend. Meeting went great! She answered all questions about the process as this was my first time using Rover. My little dog was happy running around with her dog and kids. He stayed for a weekend and it went great. She was quick to respond to all communications. I would definitely recommend Lisa!!”
“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Michelle was great! She was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times which was very appreciated. We planned a meet and greet prior to the stay and it was very evident our dog was comfortable there. We'd definitely like to use Michelle again!”
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“Cori was wonderful with our dog who suffers from pretty severe separation anxiety. It was a tough few days but they did everything they could to calm her down and make her feel safe. We appreciate how well they took care of her, the updates we got multiple times per day and how responsive she was to us.”
“Amanda and Mike did a great job of taking care of our dog while we went away for 5 days. They do daily photos and contacts so we know how he's doing. They are a great find and we highly recommend them. Thanks Amanda and Mike, from Milo.”
“Leeann was absolutely wonderful with our little guy. She provided regular updates and even sent some pictures. We are so happy with the decision to book Leeann and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Great job! I feel like zip was well taken care of. I received updates and pictures while Zip was in care of Brendan. Brendan was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Reasonable pricing. I would send Zip here again in future.”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“Jane was awesome! She gave us pictures and updates everyday. My boys acted like they could have cared less to be going home with us because they had such a good time at Jane’s house! I would highly recommend her. You can tell she really loves dogs even if they have health issues.”
“Jane was amazing! She was attentive, two our dog and kept us up-to-date with how she was doing, including sweet pics along the way! Our dog is a bit timid, but it seemed to do very well in their home. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much!”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”

I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities and always want them to feel safe and loved! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week.

“Patrice was a life-saver! We needed some very last-minute help getting our kitty to take his pills while we were on vacation, and the fact that she's a vet tech gave us such peace of mind.”
About: I live with a poodle and am experienced in daily pet care, including walking, feeding, and companionship.

About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and have experience working with cats in animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats, and can administer medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while maintaining their routine. You can expect attentive care, photo updates, and a calm, reliable presence to help your cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion and dedication to animals. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's what I want to dedicate my life to. I currently serve as the General Manager of a pet lodge, where I've worked since July 2024. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at both an animal hospital and another boarding facility. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes and cats of all personalities. I am comfortable administering a wide variety of medications, including pills, tablets, insulin injections, eye medications, ear medications, and more. I take immense pride in providing exceptional care and treating every pet as if they were my own. It would be an honor to care for your furry family members, and I promise they will receive the top-notch, five-star care, attention, and love they deserve. I am currently the General Manager of a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility, where I have the opportunity to work with pets and their families every day. While I truly enjoy what I do, my long-term goal is to build something of my own. I am working toward starting my own pet care business and eventually opening my own boarding and daycare facility. My passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care drive me to continue learning, growing, and pursuing that dream. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have four dogs and a cat of my own, so at this time I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in your home. This allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I am committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you're away.

Please let me know any special needs, behaviors, or quirks for your fur baby- I want them to be as comfortable as possible. Their comfort and yours is of the upmost importance to me. I prefer to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit!

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
“Karen was amazing!! We were traveling in from out-of-town and were very nervous about leaving our pug, Curtis, with a stranger for the first time since we got him a few months ago. Karen was very knowledgeable, and Curtis seemed drawn to her right away, which pretty quickly helped to put us more at ease. Karen was great with Curtis and sent us several fun and cute updates throughout the day about snuggling, playing piano for him, and his unexpectedly strong attachment to her husband Jim. When we picked him up at the end of each day, Curtis seemed happy and confident, which indicated that he had a lot of fun hanging out with Karen (& Jim), and we always stayed an extra 15 minutes to chat. Her house was kind of a drive from where we were staying in downtown Cincinnati, but Karen was well-worth the drive. If we’re ever back in Cincinnati with Curtis, we would love to work with Karen again!”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
“Jamie was so kind and flexible to help me when our family was going through some medical issues. She took good care of our dog, was an excellent communicator and sent us lots of pictures. We felt he was in great hands. We plan to use her again.”
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years, including my own pets. I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure every pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and even giving extra cuddles when needed. I truly treat every pet like part of my family. 💖 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets and give them all the attention they need! I’m available every day, including weekends and evenings. 💕 I live in a calm, pet-friendly home and always make sure every animal feels safe and loved. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I keep their environment clean, cozy, and stress-free. Your pets will be treated like part of my family!
“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dogs whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. As of August 2026, I finished nursing school and will be doing Rover full-time until I take my NCLEX test to officially become a licensed nurse! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely). Since graduating college, my schedule is quite literally free 24/7! As mentioned before, Rover will be my full-time job until I get to take my NCLEX and become a licensed nurse. This means your dog will have my full attention and rarely, if at all, be left alone! The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate, you can bring that as well for me to use if this is how your pet is normally kept while left alone.
About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own

“Brie is an animal pro! My dog, Cora, loves her and Brie has been a Godsend for me as I continue my rehab. Cora loves her walks with Brie, and will actually wait at the door when I tell her she is coming to get her. Thx Brie!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other pets since I was very young. I love all pets, and I’m very reliable and patient. I go to school Monday through Friday at Xavier University. I am available during most hours of the day, depending on the week. I am very flexible to help fit your needs. I have a lot of free time, and I also have two of my own dogs whom I spend most of my time with. I love walks, and playing with pups!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
“Brian was fantastic - very responsive and related great with our dogs. We’re very particular about who we entrust with looking after our fur babies and couldn’t have asked for a better fit. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone that’s looking for someone to treat their pet like his own.”

About: I worked at the San Diego Zoo for almost 20 years. My work there included animal care and nutrition. We can use the app for exotics. I have 3 rescue macaws. I have a lot of experience with exotics and aggressive dogs. Having just returned to Ohio from San Diego my schedule is quite flexible. I take care of my own pets, go to the gym and volunteer remotely for Wildlife Madagascar. In pet care i prioritize ilove and positive reinforcement. As the wife of a locksmith I'm also very meticulous about safety and security (i.e., I always double check to make sure that leash/harness clips and locks are secure).
About: For my entire life, I have grown up with a dog in my family home. I have experienced first hand how to care for a 2 month old puppy and a 13 year old senior dog. Since the age of 16, I have also watched family friends dogs, either doing overnight stays or routinely check-ins with the dogs. As a graduate student, I have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On those days, your pup may be home for a few hours while I’m in class, but I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks before I leave and as soon as I return. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and spend most of my time at home, so I’ll be able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel the most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I love cleaning and doing daily chores, so that will never be a problem for me! I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is making sure both you and your pet have peace of mind.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve also volunteered for dog shelters and watched family and friends pets on multiple occasions. I love puppies and older dogs. Everyone deserves to feel like they can leave their pet with a safe person who will love on their dog. I’m a very active person and take walks daily. My schedule is very flexible which makes it easy to be able to come home during the day and take dogs for walks or just be around at home to hang out. I care for them very much. My apartment has a dog park down the street as well as many grassed areas around to play and go potty. Nothing dangerous or unusual kept in house hold. I live with 3 girls all who have dogs at home and love taking care of them.

About: I have taken care of many many dogs, from 5 senoir disabled chihauhas at once, to larger german sheapards and high and low energy dogs, untrained and trained. I take routines seriously, as I understand you are away, and I keep it together until you come back! :) I work part time in the evening as a janitor from Monday through Friday 6-10 PM, but I can be flexible; I am looking for dog walkings or weekend stays, as I am available virtually anytime before I work. I already have clients from other websites, as well as references for multiple pet sitting jobs. Long and short term gigs and anything in-between are great. I will play, give attention to and feed and water and give as needed bathroom breaks as per owners instructions. I love animals so they will be spoiled with my care!
About: Hi! I’m Cassie, a senior in college and a huge animal lover! I spent this past summer living in Charleston, South Carolina, where I cared for multiple dogs through Rover. I absolutely loved the experience and getting to know each dog’s different personality, routine, and needs, so now that I’m back at school, I’m excited to continue pet sitting through Rover in Oxford! I live in a house with other roommates and my roommate and best friend Maggie will be helping out with caring for your furry friends, but I do have my own private apartment-style unit attached to the house with a separate entrance, giving me a comfortable and more private space. My class schedule is also very flexible, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, overnight stays, and lots of attention throughout the day. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep owners updated with pictures and messages while they’re away. I truly loved the dogs I got to care for this summer and would love the chance to meet and care for yours! 🐾 I’m currently a college student with a very flexible class schedule, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets I watch and can easily work walks, potty breaks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep each pet’s normal routine consistent. I live in my own private apartment-style unit attached to a house, so pets can have a comfortable and calm space with me. I’m also very attentive and will keep owners updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay!
About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and have been in the veterinary medicine field for six years. Growing up, I had a feisty miniature dachshund and a goofy golden retriever. When I moved out, I got my own dynamic duo over the years- a chihuahua mix (Brulee- like the dessert crème Brulee) and three years later an Australian shepherd mix (muffin). Brulee was a very opinionated and particular girl while muffin is a gentle soul and afraid of her own shadow. I am fear free certified and have been since I entered the vet med field, it is something that is very important to me and I practice it with every animal I interact with. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. If they have special needs, behaviors, or quirks please tell me everything- I want to know all about your pet! Their comfort as well as yours is of the upmost importance to me. I love taking dogs on walks and hikes, allowing them to set the tone and pace- if they want to speed walk, we can do that or if they want to take a leisurely stroll sniffing every blade of grass that is fine too. I will keep your dog leashed the entire time we are out of the house, unless we are in an enclosed backyard. I do not take dogs to dog parks, unless have a well-established recall and if you request me to. However your pet wants to play, I am game- we can play ball, tug of war, hide and seek, or treat puzzles- whatever gets them excited! I am happy to medicate and feed your pet as needed. I prefer to meet you and your fur baby beforehand to ensure safety and it is a good fit! I currently work from home full time and pick up shifts at clinics when I can. My schedule hours vary so I can be available at normal or obscure hours. As long as we can find a window to make it work, I am happy to be flexible for you and your fur baby! I will care for your pets and home like I care for my own. If your pet has specific needs or if you have special requests, I will do my best to fulfill them to keep you and your pup happy, safe, and comfortable!
About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.
About: I've had a house full of pets since I was born. We always had at least 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and other pets in the house. Chance was my main pet (pitbull) who I personally trained and took care of from the age of 10 until I left for college. I now have a chihuahua named Taako and a fluffy cat named Magnus that I take care of. I've also helped watch cats and dogs of family and friends. I also spend my free time volunteering at Lake Humane Society. I have experience in reading cat temperment (don't want to get bit in a shelter!) and training dogs. I work full time 9-5 during the week from home but I can help during a lunch break, after work any time, or on weekends! I will work to whatever your comfort level is for your pets! My chihuahua is distrustful of strangers so I entirely understand if your animals need some time to warm up to me.
About: With over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring trusted, compassionate, and reliable care to every pet I meet. From energetic puppies to senior cats, I understand their unique needs and ensure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after, treating them as the members of family they are. I am currently a Stay At Home Mom to a 3 year old adventurer. This allows my schedule to be flexible and proficient. I am enthusiastic about creating as many opportunities as possible to help clients in their time of need. I currently have a fenced in yard and an sasilt walkable neighborhood. I also love to take dogs dogs for hikes and allow them to explore nature and creeks, especially on the those hot days. It prices to be rewarding and stimulating for able animals to spend time beneath the trees.

“I loved the daily pictures from Katie. It made me feel closer to them. They had a great vacation with Katie while we had a vacation. Thank you Katie. We will use you again for sure!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”
“Patricia was fantastic with our pup. She had him for almost two weeks and we got updates and photos each day. He was happy to come home, of course, but also seemed perfectly content in her care. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Jennifer took amazing care of Winston. She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout his stay. She also spent plenty of time exercising him and engaging with him. Will absolutely be looking to board with Jennifer again in the future.”
“Michael and Anne always take great care of our 12 year old lab Brody and we don't worry one bit while we are away. Brody gets plenty of walks and TLC and they put our yoga mats on any hard surface floors as he is afraid of slipping in his old age. He is always happy to go there!”
“Rachel was very welcoming to our boy. She made me feel comfortable and kept me updated the whole time he was there and sent pictures. So pleased with her I have booked her for his next visit. Thanks”
“Rachel & Nicholas were great with Moonie! They made him feel right at home, and I know he had a lot of fun playing with their dogs. They even gave him a bath when he got dirty. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for great care for their pup.”
“We have sent our pup to Natalie many times now and she is consistently fantastic! She keeps us up to date with pictures and our dog always comes home happy. I would continue to recommend Natalie to anyone in need of dog sitting.”
“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Jenna was very communicative and our bulldog loved staying with her. Her house is a beautiful setup for any furry friend. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Jenna. Thank you again!!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Sandy! She is our puggle's primary caretaker when we are out of town, and we have been using her services since our Bella was a puppy (she is almost 10 years old now!). We take several trips a year, and she makes sure to always make herself available to accommodate our needs. She treats Bella as one of her own and keeps us updated each day with a message and photo of how she is doing which is so comforting for me and my family. I am so thankful that we found her, and I highly recommend her to any other family needing a loving caretaker for their fur baby.”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Leann for taking such wonderful care of my dog, Abi, for an entire month. From the very beginning, Leann stepped in on extremely short notice, accepting our last-minute reservation without hesitation. This was such a relief for us, and from that moment on, Leann exceeded all our expectations. Throughout the entire month, Leann maintained constant communication with us, ensuring that we were always updated on Abi's well-being. She sent us frequent photos and videos, often more than once a day, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable Abi was under her care. It was clear from the start that Abi wasn’t just being taken care of; she was being genuinely loved and cherished. Leann didn’t just meet Abi’s basic needs; she went above and beyond to make sure Abi had plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Seeing Abi’s joyful expressions and playful moments in the photos and videos made us feel incredibly reassured, knowing she was in such good hands. Leann's commitment to Abi's happiness and her ability to create a warm, loving environment truly set her apart. Not only did Leann provide exceptional care, but she also brought a sense of peace and security to us during a time when we needed it most. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Abi, and we will absolutely be turning to Leann again in the future. Thank you, Leann, for everything you did for our family. You are truly a gem!”
“Michelle was great! She was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times which was very appreciated. We planned a meet and greet prior to the stay and it was very evident our dog was comfortable there. We'd definitely like to use Michelle again!”
“If you love your dog like they were your own child, then book Tonia! I’d give Tonia six stars if I could. Her patience and kindness with humans such as I, and animals like my dog, were superb! She knows that dogs are dogs and is understanding when they behave as such. My dog is not comfortable in kennels, when other sitters have that as a norm, she lets them hang out as close to her as they want, all the time. She treated my dog (my kid) like her own and she appreciates the familial love my dog and I share.”
“Cori was wonderful with our dog who suffers from pretty severe separation anxiety. It was a tough few days but they did everything they could to calm her down and make her feel safe. We appreciate how well they took care of her, the updates we got multiple times per day and how responsive she was to us.”
“Amanda and Mike did a great job of taking care of our dog while we went away for 5 days. They do daily photos and contacts so we know how he's doing. They are a great find and we highly recommend them. Thanks Amanda and Mike, from Milo.”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“Finny is nice and tired coming home from Holly’s house - I am sure from playing with Millie nonstop. ☺️ love getting the pics of them. Thanks for watching him again, Holly!”
