“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Martha did such a wonderful job looking after our little Gumbo! There was great communication and she clearly loves and has great experience with taking care of pups! Gumbo was extremely relaxed and happy when we picked him up after a long stay. We are so grateful to have found such a great boarding option!!”

Lauren took great care of our Jasper by providing him with walks, cuddles and some fun toys - sorry Cletus. We have already scheduled our next stay as we would not hesitate using Lauren again. Thanks Lauren.”
About: I have had dogs for 46 years. I currently have three spayed female cocker spaniels that are 1.5, 3, and 3-years-old. They are very used to other dogs as we go to the dog park everyday. I lost my 12-year-old cocker spaniel to CHF. I know how important it is for medication to be given at exactly the right times at precisely the right amounts. I pay attention to detail, and make sure your dog is always safe. We go to the dog park everyday and can take any dog who is used to that environment and does well with others. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I am an early riser, and I will always be there when I say I will. Your dog will always be a priority. Beginning August 1st 2026 I'm available every day of the week. So long as the dogs are friendly and potty trained and are not destructive, they have full run of the house. Please no heavy shedders.
“My favorite sitter in Lexington! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She sent me videos and photos everyday, and my dog looked so happy! He got to play with other dogs, and in their fenced in yard. So so communicative and helpful. I will be using her every chance I get.”
“We were visiting from TN, and this was our dog’s first stay with Haley. Nala had a great time and we felt very comfortable leaving her there. Haley kept us updated every day with messages and pictures.”

“Sarah is amazing!! She’s very kind,thorough, and responsive. She always kept us updated and charmed even our most suspicious feline. We have a kitty who needs medications and she always made sure to include an update about that which is super appreciated and comforted. She did exceptional care and we will definitely be requesting her care in the future for our fur babies.”
“If you’re looking for an attentive, loving pet sitter, Catherine is your gal! She took notes during our meet up so she knew exactly how to care for my cat, and kept me in the loop once I was on my trip. 10/10 recommend!”
“Dina was awesome! She provided written and detailed updates, along with photos from each visit. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to leaving my kitty, but I felt much more at ease being away, knowing that she was there caring for her! Will definitely seek her services again!”
About: I am a vet tech that is passionate about getting pups out and about. Whether is be opinionated or timid, fast pace or slow, sniffer or all business all dogs deserved to get out and about and I am here to help make that happen! My schedule is flexible as my full time job has flexible hours. I am home most weekends and look forward to meeting your furry friend. I understand change can be stressful to dogs so I strive to make the transition and keep their normal routine best as possible. As well as checking in and keeping everyone updated.
“Jeff was an awesome sitter for my cat, Dusty! He is a great communicator, and it was clear from the start of our interactions that he is a true cat lover! Dusty is an older cat with a history of diabetes, so the timing of her meals is important. Jeff came by for a “meet and greet” before I left and was so reliable while I was away, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. His pictures and updates always made me smile. Jeff did a great job of taking care of Dusty! It was clear from his pictures that he and Dusty made fast friends. Jeff also went out of his way to contact my neighbors and building maintenance when a leak appeared in my bathroom ceiling. I was on the plane flying home and unreachable, and Jeff handled the situation as a good friend would have, going above and beyond…. I am so grateful for Jeff’s care for Dusty and my place! I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks for your time and efforts, Jeff!! ?”
About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I work two other jobs so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days depending on times! I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!
“Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨”
“Kara was wonderful! We had never left our cats alone for more than 2 days and were anxious about just having drop in visits for 4-5 days. She was communicative, thorough, and great with the cats. Even our shy cat came out of her shell for play time during visits which amazed me. I will absolutely be using her services again and would recommend her highly!”
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”
“I feel totally comfortable having our cat Sunny board with Glenn and Terrill. Things are done exactly as requested. I got daily pics and updates. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Kayla took such good care of my cat while I was gone for a couple weeks! She’s kind, always responds quickly, and gave my cat love and attention while I was gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“We booked last minute on a holiday week. Rachel was so reliable and took great care of our cat Bubba. She took daily pictures and gave us thorough updates. It really helped not to worry about our pet on last minute travel.”
“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”
“Wonderful! I had a last-minute need for a pet sitter after a sitter I had lined up could no longer do it. Alex and Martha stepped in cheerfully and were excellent in their communication with me. They’re great people to work with, too! My cat is super neurotic, and I never worried once about her because I knew she was in good hands. Highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve lived with/taken care of cats for practically my entire life! I have a big soft spot for them and really enjoy getting to know each one individually. I have plenty of experience with cat sitting with friends and family, as well as living with multiple cats and taking care of strays! Any specific needs you may have I would be happy to accommodate, including medication administration or other needed care.
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“We have used Chay many times for our cat sitting needs and she is extremely reliable. Our cats are always well cared for and happy when we return. Highly recommend Chay!”
“Leslie did a great job of caring for my cat while I was on vacation. She was communicative and responsive, and I felt my cat was safe in her care. Thank you Leslie!”

“Laura did a fantastic job watching my puppy Alma! She watched her for multiple days and each day Alma came home a happy pup. I got a detailed report on the day and felt very secure trusting Alma in her care.”
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“Guadalupe was great with our girls. So easy to communicate with, kept us updated with pics and videos and even provided a great restaurant recommendation. If we come back through Lexington, we will return to Guadalupe.”
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”
About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.
About: Hi, I’m Amber! Having grown up around animals and volunteered with several animal rescues, I bring experience caring for pets of all kinds—from gentle seniors to energetic puppies. I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and tailoring each visit to their unique needs. Your furry family member will always receive my full attention. During walks or drop-in visits, I make it a priority to keep you connected to your pet’s day—you can always expect detailed updates, notes, and plenty of photos! I work in education, which means I’m available evenings, weekends, and throughout the holidays—perfect for keeping your pet happy and cared for when you’re busy or away. I offer drop-in visits designed to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. During each visit, I handle feeding, fresh water, walks, litter or potty breaks, and any special care instructions you provide. I also make time for play, snuggles, or quiet companionship—whatever your pet prefers. With me, you’ll always receive detailed updates and photos from every visit, so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to ensure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away.
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was very young. I have exceptional patience, gentleness and instinct for care. I am very comfortable caring small and large breeds with different energy levels and needs. I work from home which means the dogs won't be left alone for hours. They'll get attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own and I take care of them all day. I give them walks and play breaks constantly. While also providing a very comfortable place for them to rest and snuggle
About: I have had multiple dogs my entire life, & multiple cats. I currently have a mini Australian Shepherd at home & a grey cat! My golden retriever husky recently passed, but I have lots of experience with puppies & hyper dogs! I just have classes at UK, so lots of free time outside of class time! I am free on weekends & love to care for pets & love going on walks with dogs:) I have lots of training experience, & have even raised my own puppy & kitten from a very young age. I am also a very clean & organized person.
“Andrew has been absolutely wonderful with my little Charlie . Andrew is great at keeping open communication with pictures and updates on how the Charlie's daycare is going ..10 out of 10 would recommend.”
About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.
About: I have genuine love for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve always loved being around them and caring for them with patience and attention. I have experience dog walking, feeding, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel relaxed and happy. Im going to be a senior this year at Lexington Christian Academy and have a part time job at the Ymca. Im available during the week 4-10pm. I have a big fenced in yard with a small dog and cat. They are both very friendly towards people and pets. always put pets’ safety and comfort first. I carefully follow pet parents’ instructions and stick to each pet’s routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I keep the environment calm, clean, and secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾
About: Ive had a total of 2 dogs and 1 cat and 2 kittens. Also I have pet sat a variety of animals from cata and dogs to even snakes. All well taken care of and loved. I know exactly how important our little friends are and I would protect them and take care them as my own. I am currently on leave from my regular job so I have all the time in the world to pet sit and it would work in well with the daily walka I take my own child on. I have a two different parks very close to my home that I tale my child and a baby gate to ensure that no one will go anuwhere unsafe.
About: I absolutely love dogs! Since I can’t have one while in college, pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with them. I have experience caring for my family’s dogs and would love to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care! I am a student at UK so I try to fit it into my schedule when I can! I dog sit on the side because I love it! I am open to caring for the dog however the owner needs me to! I am willing to take them to a park, give meds, go on walks, etc.
“Nathan did a great job! Great communication and I appreciate how he asked a few extra questions when I first dropped my pup off to make sure he took care of him well. Pup returned happy! Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was an excellent communicator, sent pictures, and was flexible when we needed to adjust the time frame a bit. We highly recommend Sarah, our pup had a great time:)”
“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”
“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. I am especially comfortable taking care of older and senior dogs and adapting to their needs (ex. blind/deaf) and have lived with small to medium breeds. However, I am also experienced with taking care of younger and larger breeds (ex. 1 year old English Labs). I have recently graduated from my undergraduate program, and have plenty of free time while looking for full-time employment. I do have a daughter, which may limit certain appointment times but should be flexible as I do have relatives to help, should I need to check on your pets. Experienced with young and elderly dogs, I am always sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside to prevent any escape or injury, regardless of a fence. If needed, I can also sit with special animals on a schedule, to ensure they go to sleep after meals or a walk.
“Kara is a joy and a gift! She is reliable, coompetent, and confident with my quirky hounds and it’s obvious that she deeply respects the importance of communication and making sure I’m in the loop on all the details of the visit whether drop ins or walks!”
“Jeff was seriously amazing with our dogs while we were away for 5 days. We have two big, energetic golden retrievers that can definitely be a lot sometimes, and he handled them really well. He came by three times a day, took them on great walks, gave them lots of attention, and just genuinely cared about them. He started out walking them one at a time, but once our pups became a bit more familiar he did both at once like a superstar! What we really appreciated was how communicative and flexible he was the whole time. He always kept us updated (with lots of photos!), was super easy to work with, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and we came home to two very happy dogs and everything in great shape. We’d 100% trust Jeff to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, honest, and really good with dogs.”
“Rachel is the first dog walker I’ve ever hired, and my first experience with Rover. She has been exceptional. SO sweet, great at communicating, and timely. She also spent an extra 20-30 minutes walking my dog (after communicating to see if it was ok), trying to track down a bandana that had fallen off. She has been a huge help to my family, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have vast experience in walking, feeding, administering medications, etc. I even started volunteering at a pet store at the age of 8 and stayed there for many years! I’m working part time so I have quite a lot of time on my hands to give your pups the right amount of attention they need. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of grass that is very dog friendly. I also have two of the sweetest most playful doodles to keep your dog company!!
“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years in St. Louis, MO with a variety of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, and more! I love animals with my whole heart and would be more than happy to show them the love I know they’re deserving of! I also worked at a pet store called Treats Unleashed and a cat cafe called Whisker Station in St. Louis, MO where I was trained on behavioral pets and all types of pet supervision. I’m new to Rover but am not new at all to pet sitting! -I also offer plant watering and any other around the house tasks you may need while gone. -Back at home in St. Louis I have an american shorthair cat named Rue and two dogs; a pitbull named Spud and a black lab named Winnie. The thing i’ve missed most about moving away from home is simply being able to hang out with animals. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for you pets like I care for my own. Every animal deserves love, kindness, and lots of pets! I am a full time student at Transylvania University who is able to do check in visits or staying the night with your fur baby’s! My schedule isn’t too packed, just a few classes during the day, so your pets will get all the attention the rest of the day! I am willing to stay at the clients house to ensure comfortability for the pets. I have had four dogs, each with very different needs and differing aggression levels so I am able to handle all types of behavior.

“Addelynn has been great with our new pup. We are gone most of the day for work and she comes on the days when we wont be home until late. She is responsive, walks him 20 minutes and sends pictures as well as how he did and if he went potty. Would recommend! Thanks!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love getting to understand what makes each one unique. I raised and fully trained my own puppy, who is now five years old, and recently completed a Dog Psychology class focused on reducing stress and promoting positive behavior. I’m also pursuing research in animal cognition, which helps me better understand how animals think, learn, and communicate. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I’ve also looked after cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and I currently have a seven-year-old leopard gecko. I treat every animal I care for with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet throughout the day. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just hanging out for some company, I’m around and available. I know how important it is to keep pets feeling loved and comfortable while you’re away, and I genuinely enjoy the time I get to spend with them! When I care for pets, I treat them like they’re my own for the time I get to spend with them. I make sure they stick to their usual routine (feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles) so they feel comfortable and safe. I love sending photo updates throughout the day because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you’re away (and I just can’t resist snapping cute pictures!). As a college student, I truly relish any opportunity to have a “pet” for a little while. Being around animals brings me so much joy! Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care.
About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
“This is my first time hiring Leslie. It’s impressive that she followed all my instructions and requests. And all my dogs were so happy to see her. I will definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to all the pet owners.”

“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Laura and her dog Koda did a great job with the energetic and playful Mr. Darcy. I got consistent and detailed updates and pictures. I think he may even have improved his leash training after his week with Laura, I may need some tips! Would definitely book again”
“Once again Kelsey was amazing! She takes the best care of our girl! She took her to the pet store and bought her a new stuffed animal and a treat. Kelsey is very responsive and sends updates.”
“Ann, was awesome. She was able to accommodate my last minute request. She also met me and picked up Charly. She sent some regular updates and even took some great pictures of Charly.”
“My dog really enjoyed his time and was well taken care of when I had to book a Rover on short notice. Received many photos and Maria was very good about reaching out in a timely manner with any questions or concerns!”
“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
“Alex and Martha are great! Communication is excellent. They spent a lot of time with our dog and she had a blast playing with their dog. We were worried about leaving her with a sitter for the first time but we had absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely use them again for our next trip!”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“This was a last minute reservation and Lauren stepped up to the challenge. Her dog (Cletus) and ours were great together. Lauren took great care of our Jasper by providing him with walks, cuddles and some fun toys - sorry Cletus. We have already scheduled our next stay as we would not hesitate using Lauren again. Thanks Lauren.”
“Brian clearly treated our beagle very well! He gave her plenty of exercise (which she needs), and kept us appraised on how she was doing. A very good caregiver, all in all!”
“Kristin and her family were amazing! I had to make a last minute change to my booking. Kristin was very understanding and accommodating! She kept me updated every day and took great care of my pups, I would highly recommend booking her!”
“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years. I grew up with dogs all my life. I also am a very good dog trainer and have paid to teach me the skills to train any dog at any age. I am a very active person. I go on runs daily and if you’re dog is less active I can do walks too. I am home most of the day other than my classes during the week which is around 2 hours a day. I have a yard without a fence and a house. For my training depending on what you would like I typically do 2-3 sessions a day during a board and train. If you want a few sessions with you I will walk you through some different training techniques. I can teach a dog anything while making it fun and engaging.
“Jayde was amazing watching my dogs. She’s very caring for the pets and actually cares for them. She even watched them an extra night for me when an unexpected event happened. She’s great!!”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Guadalupe is a Dog-Sitting Superstar! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Guadalupe! She took care of my fur baby, ChiLo, for the entire weekend, and I am beyond impressed with the love, attention, and care she gave him. From the moment we dropped ChiLo off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands possible. Guadalupe treated ChiLo like family—he wasn’t just being watched, he was being loved. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the weekend, which totally made my day every time. I could see how happy and comfortable he was in every picture—tail wagging, belly up, completely relaxed! When I picked him up, ChiLo was calm, clean, and clearly had an amazing time. It honestly felt like he had been on his own little vacation! Guadalupe went above and beyond, and it showed in every detail. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, kind, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, look no further. Guadalupe is a rare gem, and ChiLo and I are so lucky to have found her. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Guadalupe! 💛🐶”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Isabella was great!! She updated me appropriately and sent some super cute pics! Mango came back home happy and exhausted! Would definitely use Isabella’s services again!”
