“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“Once again Carla was a FANTASTIC dog sitter! Stella was so happy staying at Carla's house and playing with Moncho. She was easy to contact and sent pictures throughout our weekend away. Stella had her own little bed to sleep in--safe and sound. We had such a wonderful weekend away knowing that Stella was well taken care of. I highly recommend Carla to you. She is responsible, reliable, and shares her love of dogs freely. ”
“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”
“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”
“Incredible experience with Jared and Waverly. Oakley got to meet new friends, all while I was constantly communicated with. These two are some amazing and nice folks, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I will be coming back for sure.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Sofia was very easy to work with and helped provide all of the information that I needed to feel very comfortable about my dog’s stay. I can tell that he loved his walks and his cuddles. I will be hoping to book with her anytime we go out of town!”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Ebony was wonderful with my big guy. It was his first time having a sleepover with a sitter and I am beyond grateful for her patience with him. As well as with me and I would recommend her every time.”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”
“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
“Li was fantastic! I actually think our puppers was sad to come home after being so spoiled by Li and her family. We got regular updates, photos and videos of how he was doing that put us at ease. We are so thankful our pup had a home while we were away that cared for him as much as we do.”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Grace was great. Having one dog with health issues we were comforted with her professional experience. We had some major personal complications (including the one dog having to be put to sleep) and she was willing to work through the issues that came up. Grace was very understanding of the situation, and had then had to deal with a now anxious dog who just lost her partner and had to go alone to someone she didn't know. Grace made her feel at home. We were very satisfied with Grace and her pet accommodations. We would definitely use her again.”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”

“Taylor was amazing!! We were referred to her by a coworker and she was awesome! When she first came into our home, our cats immediately approached her and wanted her attention. She took lots of photos of our cats and gave written updates everyday about what the cats were up to. Our cats can be very rambunctious and Taylor played with them and kept them entertained. We are so grateful for her service! :)”

About: I have had cats as pets ever since I was little and currently am a cat mama to my sweet baby, Aria. I am comfortable with feeding, giving medications and cleaning litter boxes as needed.
“Jane was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. She stayed at our house, fed, and kept our two lively young cats company. She sent us pictures during the stay so we could see that they were doing well. She made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”
“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”
“Tabitha did a great job again taking care of our cats and our home!!! We have slightly difficult, special needs cats and we always feel good about leaving them with Tabitha.”
“Cats were happy to see us when we got home. Lots of rubs and purrs for the weary travelers. Marissa kept in contact and as usual did an outstanding job. One of the new additions is warming up nicely to her too!”
“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”
About: While most of my experience has been with dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for cats and enjoy learning each cat's unique personality; whether they’re playful, shy, or the “I’ll observe you from a distance” type. I had a cat of my own and I loved her like she was my own daughter and I spoiled her. I will also spoil your fur babies! 🐾
“Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter”
“Literally the best, Annie took on my drop in last minute and my normally shy cat loved her!🫶🏼 Feel so blessed to have found her wasn’t able to meet her and she was so trustworthy and my stress levels went all the way down. the videos and pics put me at so much ease. will definitely book again and tell my mom about it her. My girl has a new best friend‼︎♡ thank you thank you!!!”
“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”

“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”
“We came from out of town looking for someone to take care of our Lab for the day while we visited the bourbon trail. We found Jessica. She was awesome and took great care of our dog. Our dog was completely comfortable and had a great time in her fenced yard. We highly recommend her ! We gave her 5 STARS! Thank you Jessica”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“I’m so happy Bear had a great time with this sitter, she was amazing at being available short notice and took very good care of my dog. I highly recommend this sitter!”
About: I had dogs and cats in my house my entire childhood. I helped feed them and walk them, gave them medications and played with them. I’ve even given a rowdy Doberman eye drops 😅 long story short, since moving away, I’m looking to have more pets in my life. As for cats, I also grew up cleaning litter boxes and dealing with diet changes. I’ve brushed cats on a very regular basis and love playing with them. I am also here to listen for any other requests or special needs that your pet may have! Whether that be for medications, treats, specifications for walking, training commands, etc. I’m here for you! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom expecting my first in August 2024 and spend time taking care of my own dog as well! I am an animal lover, so I am all about the pets, cuddles, and play time! I love to run around with them, play fetch, or just let them do their thing. All animals have different needs and I’m all about observing and listening to them in the moment.
About: I have helped raise a bottle fed kitten and cared for a senior beagle in his last year. I care for and adopt mostly adult dogs, but I haven't met one I don't like! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to fit in lots of home visits with overnight stay possible! I have my own dog that goes out 3 times a day already, so fitting in pet care is a breeze! I have an apartment with 2 bedrooms where dogs can sleep separate from my own dog. My complex is very dog friendly with all pets on leash, and large areas to sniff and poop as well as a park & track in walking distance.
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“My puppy Leroy had a blast with Racheal! She was very flexible with times and was great with communicating with us! This was his first time being out of the house and he loved it!”
About: I have experience fostering for the humane society. I have a German shepherd at home and used to own a Siberian husky. I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.
About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I used to work as a professional dog-walker. I have provided a loving home for cats and dogs over the years. I have experienced the pain of trying to find the perfect sitter for my own pets.... not too expensive, and will provide the perfect loving environment for my fur babies. I strive to provide that for you and your fur babies. I currently work from home except for 2hrs each weekday, so I will be available to let them out in the fenced yard, walk them, play ball with them or just snuggle them. I also have 2 dogs of my own that I play with all day. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. Pets are treated as family and will be treated how you would treat them in your own home. We can crate your babies if that is what they are used to, or they may free roam the house as long as they are house trained. I have 2 children who will spoil your pup with snuggles and play.
“Kimba had a great time with Sarah. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Sarah is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Sarah. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Chris is as great as always. We’re always at peace when Summer is with him. For anyone who is looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter on Rover, look no further, Chris is your guy!!!”
“Daniela was very responsive for our last minute request for daycare on Thanksgiving day. Really helped us out / saved our plans! Our pup seemed very happy. Daniela was very responsive with no delays around pick up or drop off.”
“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”

Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I love to be outside and being able to walk with dogs is just icing on the cake! Seeing happy furry faces and wagging tails! My dogs are a part of my family and any dog that steps paw in this home is family as well so feel at ease and know that your best bud is in the best hands! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them lots of love and attention.
“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”

“Justin was fantastic! He came to walk my Great Pyrenees, Boo, who can be reactive to other dogs on walks, and I immediately felt confident leaving him in Justin’s care. Before the walk, he took the time to ask questions. Justin was incredibly kind and patient with Boo, and it was obvious that Boo had a great time! He even came early in the morning to help us beat the summer heat, which I really appreciated. After their one hour walk, Boo came home happy, relaxed, and tired! I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
“Tabitha has been Snowee’s walker/sitter for quite some time now and she is fantastic. She sends pictures (great photography skills btw) with each walk and I can tell from those pics that Snowee is truly happy. Very reliable and consistently excellent! Highly recommend!”
About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Julie has been amazing walking our pups!! Great communication and she sends wonderful photos! One of our dogs gets nervous around people sometimes, but she's been comfortable with Julie straight from the start 😃”
“Taylor is awesome. He was so good to my dogs. He walked them & played with them. He is great with animals. He is reliable & dependable. He helped me with a lot of things like fresh water & feeding the dogs. I'm asking him to continue helping me.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".
“Kat is amazing! She is prompt, responsible, communicates well, and is great with my dog. She consistently brings him back well exercised and happy! Highly recommend! I am grateful to have found her and feel pretty lucky—and my dog feels the same!”
“Taylor did amazing with our pets. Our pup is very dog reactive and Taylor used her extensive experience while navigating walks with her. She has quite a charm with animals. She even coaxed out our hermit cat. Taylor did a fabulous job communicating with us and keeping us updated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced Rover.”
About: I have traveled extensively through India and Central America and now that I am back home full time, I want to try to do all the things that I love to do, but I never had enough time to do. One of those things is taking care of my favorite animals. I love dogs and that is something that I want to experience as much as I can. For that, I just finished fencing my large backyard so I can accommodate my small or big friends. I am very active and playful....so I am excited and looking forward to having a fun time with my new friends. Hopefully you will find my house nice, welcoming, peacefully and large enough for your dog. I work from home, so your pet will have my full attention. I am active and energetic, so if needed your pet will have a good amount of activities I have a large fenced backyard and I can crate your pet if needed. Walks in the neighborhood or local park is always part of my day
“Annie is so sweet and so so so patient with my Pearl girl! My dog can be so finicky with who she walks with and Annie is always patient as she works through the process with her. She is also super flexible when coordinating schedules.”
About: Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a lifelong animal lover! I’ve had dogs all my life but learned so much more when I started fostering in 2014. Over the years, I’ve raised four dogs of my own, fostered 8 dogs for three different rescue organizations in Kentucky and Ohio, and continue to volunteer with local rescues. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet as an individual—whether they’re energetic puppies, mellow seniors, or anywhere in between. I work second shift during the week and occasional Saturday’s. This gives me time in the morning to work with the pups and get them nice and tired for an afternoon nap! Crate training is an important part of my philosophy with dogs and I try to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Your pet will stay in a safe, loving home that has a fully fenced back yard for secure outdoor time. I also have spare rooms if your pup needs space and time away from others when in new environment is needed or if they do not do well with stairs. We have three friendly resident dogs: Auggie (12 years old Staffy mix) Sgetti (5 years old husky/shepard mix), and Fern (7 months old rough coat American hunt terrier). I carefully manage interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe, and I will always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a day of activities, reliable walks, or a cozy and calm home-away-from-home, I’ve got you covered.
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from playful puppies to chill senior dogs and independent cats. I make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved, follow their routines, and don’t mind giving meds or keeping things clean. Every pet gets attention, playtime, and lots of love while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. I enjoy starting and ending my day with animals, whether it’s morning feedings, playtime, or evening walks. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I make sure they’re well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or quiet company.
About: In addition to pampering my own dog for 11 years, I volunteered at a Humane Society for over 5 years. I spent time socializing and ensuring proper care for all dogs in our care. Everything from play time, baths, walks and meeting new friends to feeding and snuggles. I also have experience caring for dogs with disabilities, including blindness, diabetes, and mobility issues. I am very experienced in managing diabetic requirements and giving insulin injections. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available for boarding any time during the week or on the weekend with no restrictions around drop off of pick up times. I have a fully fenced in back yard for your dog to roam and play. The driveway is unfenced so your pet would never be unattended. I am a home body, so your pet would receive constant love and attention while you are away.
About: Hi there! I'm here to tell you why you and your pup are going to love welcoming me into your day! I am an outgoing, old soul, with more love for animals than imaginable. Since I can remember, I have always loved and shared my life with dogs. From Candy, my childhood dog (German shep. Doberman mix) who helped raise me, to my very own fur baby, Godiva (pitbull mix), who cuddles up to me every night! It's been a deep passion of mine to be able to improve the life of every dog/animal I come in contact with, and this is no exception to your loving hound. Specializing in all types of breeds and behaviors, there is no pup left behind in my book! Coming from a family who was very accepting of all animals, Ive grown to understand the things that are so important when it comes to animal care. Such as, body language, verbal sounds and reactions, and predicting what a dog may do next. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working a part time job with plan your own schedule hours, which gives me a lot of free time to be able to care for your pets throughout the day or night at any time needed! Nobody knows our pets like we do! I always keep this in mind and be sure to provide any care/ follow cautions provided by owners. Of course all animals will be provided with the best care possible, and that means being sure to cater to each animal how they need!
About: Hi, I'm Jess, a lifelong animal advocate, former shelter director, ordained interspecies animal chaplain, and experienced caretaker based in Prospect, Kentucky. I've spent years working hands-on with animals of all sizes, species, temperaments, and health needs. As Operations Director at the Terre Haute Humane Society, I worked directly alongside veterinarians to implement shelter medicine protocols and quality of life standards, giving me informal vet tech experience that most pet sitters simply don't have. I'm comfortable medicating dogs and cats, administering treatments, bathing, trimming nails, and supporting animals through illness and recovery. I bring a broad working knowledge of both pharmaceutical and natural health interventions, and I'm deeply familiar with navigating complex health needs, from post-surgical recovery to chronic illness management. For over five years, I fostered dogs through the Terre Haute Humane Society, including puppies and adults with serious behavioral challenges, dogs who were facing euthanasia due to behavioral issues, and severely ill animals, including parvo puppies, which requires intensive, around-the-clock care and a steady nervous system. I also fostered adult dogs through For Paws Sake Canine Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, and I've been an active exotic animal foster with the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary since 2014, caring for rabbits and ferrets. I understand difficult dogs. Not in theory, but from real experience. I know how to read body language, set boundaries with compassion, and create safety for animals who don't trust easily. Every size, every temperament, every need. I've been there. I also bring a depth of care that goes beyond the physical. As an ordained interspecies animal chaplain, I hold deep reverence for the lives of animals and the people who love them, showing up from the joy of a new puppy to the grief of a final goodbye in a way that is interfaith, inclusive, and grounded in genuine care for the whole of a life. I am also a Level II Animal Reiki practitioner trained in the Let Animals Lead method, which means I offer animals choice, consent, and energetic support in a way that honors their autonomy and meets them exactly where they are. At home, I share my life with two dogs, Merlin, a GSD mix who is sensitive and intense and absolutely my heart, and Arthur, a small scrappy mixed breed who recently had a femoral head ostectomy and reminded me all over again what it means to care for an animal through something hard. They are my people. I am active, fit, and genuinely love a long walk or a full play session. Your dog will come home tired and happy. I promise. Your pet isn't a task on my list. They're the whole point. Pet care is not something I fit into my life. It is my life. I work fully from home, which means I am present, available, and attentive throughout the entire day. I am not leaving for an office or rushing between commitments. When your pet is in my care, someone who genuinely knows animals is home with them all day, every day. My routine is consistent and calm, which animals thrive on. I wake up early and go to bed early. Meals happen twice a day on a reliable schedule. Mornings are intentional and unhurried, which sets the tone for the whole day. I live in Norton Commons in Prospect, Kentucky, one of the most walkable and beautiful neighborhoods in the Louisville area. I have been known to walk nine miles a day with my dogs, and every dog in my care gets their own dedicated walk, at their own pace, on their own schedule. I walk dogs separately because each one deserves individual attention, their own rhythm, and their own time with me. That is not an inconvenience. That is just how I do it. For dogs staying in my home, we have a generous space, a calm environment, and two resident dogs who are well-socialized and accustomed to sharing their space with visitors. For cats, I have a dedicated room that belongs entirely to them, completely separate from the dogs. Their day includes multiple play sessions, consistent feeding times, and unhurried morning time with me, typically two hours, where I am simply present with them in their space. No rushing, no chaos, just quiet companionship and genuine attention. Whether you need me in my home or yours, the consistency, presence, and care remain exactly the same. Safety and trust are not afterthoughts in how I care for animals. They are the foundation. In my home, my environment is calm, intentional, and animal-centered. I live with two dogs of my own, which means visiting pets are welcomed into a space that already understands animal needs, respects boundaries, and moves at an animal's pace. I do not rush introductions. I allow animals to acclimate on their own terms, reading their body language carefully before asking anything of them. For animals who need separation, quiet, or their own space, I provide that without hesitation. In a client's home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would want someone to bring into mine. I follow established routines closely, because consistency is safety for animals. I pay attention to the details, what a pet eats, how they move, what makes them comfortable, and what signals that something is off. I notice things. It is both training and instinct at this point. With my background in shelter medicine, informal veterinary support, and years of caring for animals with complex health and behavioral needs, I am equipped to handle the unexpected calmly and competently. I know when something is routine and when something needs attention, and I will always communicate transparently with you about your pet's well-being. My goal in every setting is simple: your pet should feel safe, seen, and at ease. Whether I am in my home or yours, that standard does not change.

“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”
“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”
“Incredible experience with Jared and Waverly. Oakley got to meet new friends, all while I was constantly communicated with. These two are some amazing and nice folks, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I will be coming back for sure.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Ebony was wonderful with my big guy. It was his first time having a sleepover with a sitter and I am beyond grateful for her patience with him. As well as with me and I would recommend her every time.”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Grace was great. Having one dog with health issues we were comforted with her professional experience. We had some major personal complications (including the one dog having to be put to sleep) and she was willing to work through the issues that came up. Grace was very understanding of the situation, and had then had to deal with a now anxious dog who just lost her partner and had to go alone to someone she didn't know. Grace made her feel at home. We were very satisfied with Grace and her pet accommodations. We would definitely use her again.”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“Mariah and her family are truly the best! I’m so thankful to have someone local I trust to care for my pups while I’m away! She does an incredible job messaging daily updates (with pictures) and keeping me in the loop ♥️”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”
“This is our second time having Madison watch our Sunday girl. Driving up to see Madison, Sunday perked up and started wagging her tail. She practically jumped out of the car to go say hi to Madison. Needless to say, our girl LOVES getting to spend time with Madison and it’s very evident that Madison takes wonderful care of her.”
“Enthusiastic about meeting my dog : ) we managed the introduction gradually and then my dog was good to go! Her home is very welcoming for the doggy guests. Would definitely take my dog to Stephanie again!”
“Rachel was amazing and made sure we knew what was going on with King. She kept us informed via text messages and photos providing a peace of mind. She even offered a meet in greet prior to services. Will definitely use her again!”
