“This was our 2nd time in 2 weeks using Jennifer to watch our 2 small dogs. Im not sure our dogs were ready to leave when we picked them up!! It's obvious that Jennifer & her husband love dogs, plus they have a fenced yard. We won't take our dogs anywhere else!!”
“Jessica is the best! She took good care of my dog last minute and kept me updated throughout. Very professional. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth too. Would highly recommend!”
“I left my 2 German Shepherds with Marquia for 7 days and they came back extremely happy. She sent me pictures throughout their stay and always kept me updated. I will be using her for all my dog sitting needs from now on!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Kandace was super helpful with her services of pick up & drop off while we were out of town. Deebo looked so happy and cared for in the photos Kandace sent! Kandace was very responsive with updates and replies.”
“Cameron was a wonderful caretaker of my pup! He was so happy to have so much loving attention and fun playtime with Beau. It was awesome to find the perfect solution to my need. Thanks!”
“The way my dog disowned me when dropping him off this time to Lydia’s. It’s his 2nd boarding experience with her and he ran in her home so quick without looking back lol Lydia is amazing as always. Excellent timely communication with photos of your pup 😍, sweet fur baby companions for your fur baby to frolic with and she’s super understanding with last minute changes, for example my flight was delayed (twice now smh 🙈) and she’s made the process so much less anxiety inducing by offering grace in those moments. 💯 repeat customer if she continues to have my running late ass and my obese baby boy”
“Fantastic Rover host! Jessica communicated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“Savana was very sweet and took good care of my 15 year old lab mix, Josie. She sent me pictures along the way. She also administered arthritis meds to my dog. I needed help loading her into my car when picking her up(Josie has bad arthritis and can no longer jump in the car by herself),and instead of assisting me, she loaded her for me, making it look very simple. (85 lbs)”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“I’m really cautious about who watches my girls, but trust James in a heartbeat! Luna has so many allergies and he followed all of the details that Luna comes with to properly care for her! I never had a doubt about leaving my Luna with James. He also took the girls outside to play from time to time to release some of their pent up energy! When I brought my fur babies home they were exhausted and nap time all around. I always knew what was going on when I was out of town! Thanks James!!”
“Leslie is amazing! Our little Mia has a blast and gets really excited when we pull up to her house! We are so happy we found someone that cares for her like we do and we can go out of town without worrying!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate weekends to my dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. During the week, I can also provide drop-in visits anywhere from 2pm-10pm. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! What you can expect: I usually separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
“Heather was excellent, felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her!! She was very professional and made sure Maggie felt comfortable and taken care of. Would absolutely recommend and will reach out again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!
“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
“June was great! She came over and played with our cats for 30 minutes just to check up on them while we were away. She was very communicative and even brought in a package for us! Highly recommend!”
“Ella was amazing!!! She kept me updated on my little baby’s and listened to all my worry’s about leaving them alone for a few days. She was so sweet and both my cats loved her. I will be recommending her to everyone, and booking with her again 🫶🫶”
“Yanya did a great job caring for and playing with Maggie Mae. She was very patient and caring. When she noticed that Maggie had an injury she called me immediately and waited for instructions.”
“Ayla-Lynnette graciously accepted my last minute request for her to take care of my cats while I was gone on vacation with my husband. She was easygoing, flexible, knowledgeable, and understanding. I would definitely book her again.”
“Lorrin is such an awesome and amazing person she went above and beyond and made sure the fur babies were okay and had what they needed ten out of ten absolutely recommend her”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Toby is AWEmazing with my Rottweiler Mello he always works with my schedule and is great with working with me last minute. He also sticks to his commitment when I have something planned weeks Ahead! I will def continue using him for my boarding and drop ins !!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I have a 2 year old little boy. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for cats, including cat sitting and regularly supporting the care of cats within a household setting. Through this, I’ve become comfortable with different cat personalities, from more independent cats to those that enjoy attention and play. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment where cats feel comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their space, and committed to making sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tyler was great with me and my cat! She gave updates and did a great job making sure our animals acclimated to each other well. Made sure my cat had lots of attention and care.”
About: I absolutely adore cats 🐈 . I have four of my own, all adopted from shelters or through Facebook adoptions 🎁 . I understand their needs and desires. 💞 I never pry for their attention, as I know it can be stressful for them when a new face enters their space. 🧐 I promise to provide your cats with the best care and do my best to understand them. 🤗 🥰
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs.

Manners and house training will be enforced in a positive atmosphere. We have a fenced in yard, indoor fencing and gates to separate dogs if needed.

We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
“We’ve had SUCH a great experience with Ashley! Our pup has a ton of energy, and Ashley made sure he got a ton of exercise (and love) while she was there with him. She is very responsible and communicative, and she left super detailed updates (complete with great photos) that put the ‘crazy dog mom’ in me at ease. We look forward to using Ashley again and again! :)”

“Jessica was amazing!! We needed a last minute sitter for our brand new, very needy 9 week old puppy, and she was more than up to the task. We were very comforted by her friendliness and the frequent updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I needed a few hours to complete shopping. I am visiting from out of town and needed a place to let my big boys play and run! This was fantastic! Super friendly. Responsive. And same day (with only an hour notice) such a life saver!”
“AMAZING! Thank you so much for taking care of our small pup! Our ball of energy came home tired which tells us he had lots of fun playing at pup daycare! Also, quick with responding which is a great plus and nice home with a large fenced yard for all the pups to play in! Will definitely book again!”
“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video. We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
“Maria has been great with my Thunder. He loves when he gets to stay with her while I work. I definitely recommend her for day care or boarding! She sends updates and communicate very well and promptly! We are glad we found her!”
“Savana was great with Gracie! She was taking care of a bigger dog at the same time, but made sure that Gracie felt completely comfortable and at home. Frequent updates, loving household, their cute and friendly dog Ela for Gracie to play with, food on time - everything was perfect!”
“Sara is always really great with Tito and super accommodating for last minute requests for daycare. We are really confident keeping him with her and know he’ll come back tired and happy. Thanks so much Sara!”
“We are first-time puppy parents, and we needed to find someone to watch our puppy during busy work days. We were nervous to leave her with someone for the first time, but with Jennifer, we had absolutely no reason to be! Kind, courteous, and professional, she sends status updates AND photos throughout the day on your puppy. Our puppy (who has separation anxiety) was so comfortable with her, she took two naps on her lap. We will request Jennifer every single time from now on!”
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
“Heather is wonderful! She is so loving toward my 12-week-old puppy Eva and put my mind at ease right away even though I had never left Eva at daycare before. Eva came home so happy and tired from all the playing she got to do. She absolutely loves going to Heather's house and I have zero concerns knowing she is in her care :)”
“Leslie learned about Bella before we got there which totally eased my mind. Bella was comfirtavle enoufh to not look back when I left and it was very apparent she was very comfortable and happy upon pickup. Thank you Leslie!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred.

“Michelle was a big help for a last minute booking! She kept Bailey for about 8 hours for me and we will definitely be repeat customers if we need someone to watch him again.”

I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!

About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”

You can count on me for consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable service every single visit. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions and meet you and your pets! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the pets I work with. I have a very flexible availability, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day—whether that means morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, evening visits, or extended stays.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment that helps every pet feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I always take the time to learn your pet’s likes, dislikes, and comfort needs so they feel right at home.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services.

“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 17 and enjoyed everything about it to daily walks, daily play time, nap time, etc:) I currently work part time as a nurse in a hospital near Nashville! I am going back to school to become a PA. I love taking care of peoples animals on the side:) My surrealism shepherd gets special treatment.

Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.
About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs so I can provide consistent care while their owner is away. I closely monitor pets for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and ensure they are always in a safe environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.

“Jessica is the best! She took good care of my dog last minute and kept me updated throughout. Very professional. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth too. Would highly recommend!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Kandace was super helpful with her services of pick up & drop off while we were out of town. Deebo looked so happy and cared for in the photos Kandace sent! Kandace was very responsive with updates and replies.”
“Cameron was a wonderful caretaker of my pup! He was so happy to have so much loving attention and fun playtime with Beau. It was awesome to find the perfect solution to my need. Thanks!”
“Fantastic Rover host! Jessica communicated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“Savana was very sweet and took good care of my 15 year old lab mix, Josie. She sent me pictures along the way. She also administered arthritis meds to my dog. I needed help loading her into my car when picking her up(Josie has bad arthritis and can no longer jump in the car by herself),and instead of assisting me, she loaded her for me, making it look very simple. (85 lbs)”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“I’m really cautious about who watches my girls, but trust James in a heartbeat! Luna has so many allergies and he followed all of the details that Luna comes with to properly care for her! I never had a doubt about leaving my Luna with James. He also took the girls outside to play from time to time to release some of their pent up energy! When I brought my fur babies home they were exhausted and nap time all around. I always knew what was going on when I was out of town! Thanks James!!”
“Leslie is amazing! Our little Mia has a blast and gets really excited when we pull up to her house! We are so happy we found someone that cares for her like we do and we can go out of town without worrying!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate weekends to my dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. During the week, I can also provide drop-in visits anywhere from 2pm-10pm. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! What you can expect: I usually separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
“Heather was excellent, felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her!! She was very professional and made sure Maggie felt comfortable and taken care of. Would absolutely recommend and will reach out again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Maria was very responsive and I received photos daily of my dog. He is the nervous type and I believe she and her husband were both accommodating to my dog in helping him through a nervous time. I am very appreciative of their attentiveness to his needs and care.”
“Highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking at entrusting their dogs with a caring, responsible care giver and loving environment. Milo was nothing but happy whenever I picked him up. He had a blast!”
