“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”
“Morgan is such a sweet person, she’s quick with her response, sends pictures for updates & I can tell my little one had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be using her again🤗”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”
“Laura is definitely an experienced and reliable care taker. She knew all the questions to ask to make sure that my dog would be taken care of while I was away. She gave me daily updates of my dog's visit, what my dog spent her time doing, and how she was eating. Chloe loved the backyard to play around in and - from what I saw - made herself right at home. I would happily trust her with my dog again!”
“Erin was an amazing find! She was able to help us out pretty last minute and was so accommodating to our pup. Our dog sometimes doesn’t eat when we are away and Erin got her to! She also sent messages throughout the day to keep us updated.”
“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!”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”
“Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.”
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.
“Great experience! I was recommended by a friend and I will say I am so glad I trusted her to leave my baby with her! She sent so many pictures and gave me updates while I was traveling! Definitely helped ease my nerves. I’ve never left my girl behind. I know my baby had a great time and the fact that she got to socialize and meet other dogs was even better! Thank you so much Ann!”
“Lauren is great and I highly recommend booking her! I was nervous about leaving my dog for vacation since I had just moved and Lauren was very sympathetic. My dog loved her dog and settled right in. Lauren communicated with me and sent videos and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely be booking Lauren again!”
“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.”
“Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess again :)”
“It was such a great experience with Amber during the holidays! This was our first leaving our puppy and I'm glad it was a positive experience. Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule. Thank you Amber for taking care of Simba! 🐾”
“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.”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood and know how to take care of them well, from dogs to guinea pigs I have had to care for multiple different types of animals and will always care for them as my own.

“Dina took such great care of my cat! My cat needs stimulation, attention, and play, which Dina provided (during holiday season and for a good price). Dina is an animal lover and it showed in her care of my sweet girl! Thanks so much Dina.”
“Sarah was so accommodating for a last minute request. She took great photos and you can tell she truly loves working with animals. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend!”
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

I have years of experience managing feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes pristine, and providing the perfect balance of playtime and affection. Your cat will receive the exact same dedicated love and attention I give my own!
“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! ✨”
“Taylor was wonderful! She went above and beyond with caring for my cats! I was anxious about leaving them but she made me feel so much better. Will definitely be booking again when needed!”
“Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.”
“I am so happy with the care my cat Skittles received from Anna! She looked relaxed and comfortable in all the photos, and Anna left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much, Anna! 💛”
“Kara always takes fantastic care of our cat anytime we are away. She writes great summaries and takes awesome photos that make us feel much more comfortable while away from home!”
About: I have been caring for cats my entire life! I will do all in my power to ensure your pets are safe and cared for. I prioritize safety and caution at all times, my own cats are indoor cats with chips, AirTags, and name tags with my name and number on them, I absolutely do not mess around and will be so cautious in ensuring their safety and protection. I have experience dealing with cats with all different types of personalities. I think it is so important to meet kitties where they’re at and respect their boundaries instead of trying to get them to adapt to what you want. I have never met a cat I didn’t like, so I am so excited to meet your kitty!
“Kayla was awesome— we had total peace of mind on our eight day trip and never had to worry about a thing. She sent us pictures every day & was a very low maintenance sitter. Hope to use her again soon on our next vacation, thanks so much!!”
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!
“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!”
“Cat sitter extraordinaire! Jeff took such good care of my cats and the house while I was away.. and helped with a leaking sink incident! 10/10 would recommend!”
“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.”
“She did a wonderful job stopping in on our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and send so many fun pictures to put me at ease! Will for sure use her again in the future!”
“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've brought our pup to Laura multiple times and it's always been a stress-free experience. Laura is a great communicator and caregiver, and we love working with her!”
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.
“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!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
“She did great with my pup. My pup took a surprise trip to her parents house and went on a walk with their pup! My pup was all worn out at the end of the day!”
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: 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: 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 had one or more dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I enjoy spending my days playing, going on walks, and giving them the attention they deserve. I'm responsible, dependable, and home for most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of supervision, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or curling up in bed for cuddles, I'm happy to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll treat your pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule and don't have any other jobs, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. While I have classes throughout the day, they're spread out, so I'm able to come home between classes to let dogs out, take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention. I spend most of my time at home, which means your pet won't be left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I live in a spacious townhome with a fenced-in courtyard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space for potty breaks and fresh air. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He primarily stays in my roommate's room, so if your dog prefers their own space or isn't interested in interacting with other dogs, it's easy to accommodate. I want every dog in my care to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. They're welcome on the furniture, on the couch, and even in bed if that's what they're used to at home. I believe keeping your dog's routine as consistent as possible helps them feel relaxed while you're away. I'm also an extremely clean and organized person, both in my own home and when caring for someone else's. Whether I'm watching your dog in my home or yours, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“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!”
“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.
“Morgan was great to with our dog. We were only able to use her a few times, but each time I felt safe knowing she was with him. She provided detailed reports, lots of pictures, showed up on time and actually did the entire 30 minute walk! I would, and hope to, hire her again. Thanks so much Morgan!!”

About: I am an engaging pet sitter while also providing a good amount of discipline in needed areas. I have had two goldendoodles for 6 years since they were puppies and take great care of them by always taking them to explore new walking trails and trying to teach them new tricks!

I do not currently have the space to board a pet as I live in an apartment but I hope to next year!
“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!”
“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.”
About: You could say: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, caring for dogs. I’ve had 3 of my own dogs and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving care. I’d make it sound flexible and reliable rather than just listing your class times: My schedule is flexible around my classes! I’m available Monday and Wednesday before 3 PM and after 5 PM, Tuesday and Thursday before 10 AM and after 6:30 PM, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. For Rover, I’d make it sound warm and reassuring: I’ll create a safe and trusting environment by following your pet’s routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of attention, care, and supervision.
“Kara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.”
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.

About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over two years. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.
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.

“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”
“Laura is definitely an experienced and reliable care taker. She knew all the questions to ask to make sure that my dog would be taken care of while I was away. She gave me daily updates of my dog's visit, what my dog spent her time doing, and how she was eating. Chloe loved the backyard to play around in and - from what I saw - made herself right at home. I would happily trust her with my dog again!”
“Erin was an amazing find! She was able to help us out pretty last minute and was so accommodating to our pup. Our dog sometimes doesn’t eat when we are away and Erin got her to! She also sent messages throughout the day to keep us updated.”
“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!”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”
“Great experience! I was recommended by a friend and I will say I am so glad I trusted her to leave my baby with her! She sent so many pictures and gave me updates while I was traveling! Definitely helped ease my nerves. I’ve never left my girl behind. I know my baby had a great time and the fact that she got to socialize and meet other dogs was even better! Thank you so much Ann!”
“Lauren is great and I highly recommend booking her! I was nervous about leaving my dog for vacation since I had just moved and Lauren was very sympathetic. My dog loved her dog and settled right in. Lauren communicated with me and sent videos and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely be booking Lauren again!”
“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.”
“Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess 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.”
“From the moment we met Tania, she was friendly and welcoming. She introduced Molly to her pets and the layout of her home and fenced-in yard. Molly had to learn to use the Dog Door and did so While away, Tania sent photos and videos of Molly enjoying herself. It is clear that Tania cares deeply for pets. Molly had a wonderful time, and we will look forward to using Tania again.”
About: I've had one or more dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I enjoy spending my days playing, going on walks, and giving them the attention they deserve. I'm responsible, dependable, and home for most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of supervision, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or curling up in bed for cuddles, I'm happy to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll treat your pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule and don't have any other jobs, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. While I have classes throughout the day, they're spread out, so I'm able to come home between classes to let dogs out, take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention. I spend most of my time at home, which means your pet won't be left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I live in a spacious townhome with a fenced-in courtyard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space for potty breaks and fresh air. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He primarily stays in my roommate's room, so if your dog prefers their own space or isn't interested in interacting with other dogs, it's easy to accommodate. I want every dog in my care to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. They're welcome on the furniture, on the couch, and even in bed if that's what they're used to at home. I believe keeping your dog's routine as consistent as possible helps them feel relaxed while you're away. I'm also an extremely clean and organized person, both in my own home and when caring for someone else's. Whether I'm watching your dog in my home or yours, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Lifelong animal lover with two dogs and a horse currently. I work as a registered nurse but my alternate career path would’ve been veterinary medicine! One of my dogs is medically fragile so I am comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention for their needs. I work full-time as a flight nurse but my schedule is incredibly flexible and I have whole weeks off at a time. During my on weeks, I have availability for drop-ins on the days that I am home. My goal is to take care of your animals the same way I would expect mine to be cared for, in an environment that they are comfortable in!
“Ashley took great care of my dog Curry! They asked all details about sitting Curry and being flexible about times, which helped me a lot for planning my trip. Very responsive and organized, Curry had a wonderful time here! Highly recommended”
“Nathan is great! He kelp my Pitt Krystee for seven days. Each day he sent videos and pictures of how she was doing! He treated Krystee as if she was his own! I highly recommend Nathan for pet sitting, and will use Nathan again next month when I go out of town again! Thank you Nathan for taking such good care of Krystee!!!”
“Piper had a great time with Tonisha and seemed really comfortable when we picked her up. Tonisha sent pictures throughout the day/night and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and use her in the future.”
“Oreo gets so excited to go over to Kristin's house and play with their dog Hunter. She always comes home exhausted which is how I know they have just played their little hearts out. Kristin and family are great about sending a daily photo of Oreo. Couldn't be happier with them. Oreo loves going and can't get out of the car fast enough. Kristin's is her second home.”
