“Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.”
“Although Daxx was prob anxious and homesick I’m sure he had a great time staying w Lauren and Cody this past weekend. She sent me pics of him during his stay which was really nice as I was missing my boy. I’m sure his favorite part of staying there was the kids he could play with and the attention he received. We will def ask Lauren and Cody if they could watch him again next time we take a trip that he can’t join us on.”
“Savannah was very loving toward my girls. My dogs came home, healthy, and happy and we got regular updates from Savannah during their time with her. Will definitely rebook! She was even willing to work with us when our vacation plans changed, which was a huge relief!”
“Wonderful as always...Chelsy is so attentive to our baby and keeps us informed with pics and texts. Really appreciate how much she cares about Sweet pea and treats her as if she is her own.”
“Thanks again for watching Ricky! He always has such a good time and it’s great to know there are folks I can have watch him who will look out for him. Y’all are the best!”
“Nicest young couple; immediately made Turkey feel welcome in their home. Showed me around their backyard and home; helped me set up Turkey’s crate, and let me know Turkey was free to sleep in the crate or anywhere he wanted to. Very accommodating and sent me the cutest photos of Turkey and their 1 1/2 year old son playing/hugging each other. Will be my 1st choice sitter in the future.”
“Literally amazing! So kind and amazing to my doggo! She sent me daily updates from pictures to videos which I just loved! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & Im so thankful/blessed to have met her! I cannot wait to go on another trip & book her! ?❤️”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“Hannah was great and our pup had so much fun! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how he was doing. I loved that she sent us pictures and videos too. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Carol was fantastic! She took Chief in last minute for 10 days when I left for a family vacation and my original sitter had a last minute change in schedule. She sent pictures everyday and her pup was very friendly and didn’t get jealous. I highly recommend Carol.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“This was Gumbo’s second stay with Nicholas and it won’t be the last! Thankful to have Nicholas keep Gumbo when we are out of town. We don’t have to worry about Gumbo at all because we know he’s being cared for!”
“By far the best pet sitter I have ever had! Would recommend to any and everyone. Beetlejuice didn’t want to leave. Wonderful family and pups got along with him so well!”
“Kelly was an excellent choice to watch Hoss for a couple of days while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and offered a very flexible schedule as it related to drop-off/pick-up options. We've already been in discussions for the next booking, would recommend.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for dogs. Caring for them has never felt like a responsibility to me — it’s something that genuinely brings me happiness and purpose. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping my dog safely give birth to seven beautiful puppies and being there every step of the way to care for them as they grew. From the moment they were born, I made sure each puppy was healthy, well-fed, clean, loved, and properly cared for. I dedicated my time and patience to house training all seven puppies, teaching them potty training, crate training, basic commands like sitting, and understanding boundaries around the home. I even trained them not to leave the yard despite not having a gate, showing them discipline, trust, and consistency through positive reinforcement and daily attention. I believe dogs deserve love, patience, protection, and gentle guidance. I naturally create safe, comforting environments where animals feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, emotions, routines, and needs to ensure they stay happy and healthy at all times. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, exercise, grooming, or simply giving them affection and companionship, I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog feels like family. Being around dogs has taught me responsibility, compassion, patience, and unconditional love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing dependable, trustworthy, and loving care that owners can feel confident in. As a full-time dog sitter and babysitter, as well as a member of the Navy Reserves, my days are built around responsibility, reliability, and structure. I start each morning with a workout before taking care of errands and preparing for the day ahead. Whenever I have a babysitting or dog-sitting commitment, it becomes my top priority, and I dedicate my time and attention to ensuring that every child or pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. My military background has taught me discipline, accountability, and the importance of following through on my commitments. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives families peace of mind while they're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, so I make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions carefully and consistently. From feeding schedules and exercise to medications and special care requirements, I ensure that each pet receives the exact care their owner expects. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their families are away.
“Keith was amazing! We were at ease leaving our babies as he was extremely professional and had been in the industry for a while. He is also flexible and affordable! Can’t recommend him enough and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.”

About: I have experience with cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and their care, as well as skittish dogs, and normal pups. As I am a small person, I cannot walk untrained giant breed dogs unfortunately, but I can more than happily dog sit and do drop in care! I love animals of all types and find great joy in caring for animals. I've worked with senior dogs, new born puppies, older puppies, rescue dogs, neglected dogs, and longtime family pups. I have experience with all sorts of cats, from skittish to cuddle bugs. I have some experience with training and find joy in helping dogs reach their best potential and learn new tricks. I've been caring for animals since I was at least 13 years old and intend to long into my future.
About: What sets me apart is that i really take the time to understand each cat’s personality. I don’t force interaction, if your cat wants space, they’ll get it. if they live okay or affection, i’m all in. i’m calm, reliable, and keep things consistent so your cat stays comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for.
“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”
“Melanie was great! She made us feel at peace being away from home for so long over Christmas and New Years. The multiple pictures and detailed updates were exactly what we needed. We would rebook her again if we are ever out of town like that again!”
“Samantha was an excellent cat sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. She was reliable, excellent at communicating, and clearly very attentive to our kittens. While we were away, she checked in with questions when needed, confirmed details, and reassured us that everything was taken care of. She followed feeding instructions carefully, made sure both the kittens and outdoor cats were cared for, and gave the kittens plenty of love and attention. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and some of my family members and friends dogs. Whether that be taking the dog outside to use the bathroom or go on walks. I’m in nursing school and currently working part-time. I can’t work long hours due to school so this is perfect for me during the school year. I care for my pets by loving on them and giving them cuddles and belly rubs. I make sure my dog is in a safe and loving environment.
“David and Lauren were both wonderful sitters for my cat! They made sure she got extra love and care while I was gone and provided me with regular updates. I felt at ease knowing that they were taking care of her!”

I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!
About: While I didn’t grow up with cats until I was older since I was scared of them, I think because of that I was able to really form a connection with cats for who they are haha. I had two female family cats and I loved them very much, they were super self dependent but I was always super grateful when they wanted cuddles. At my part time job they board cats for over night or just for the day so I have experience in regular feeding, medicating, playing and changing litter boxes. I love when a kitty plays with a flirt pole, i’ll play all day until my arm falls off if I could. I also love some good kitty snuggles so if your cat wants some I will be more then happy!
“Anika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog you’ve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since my freshman year of highschool. I am intuitive and caring. I work from home and can keep a constant watch on your furry friends. Work from home between 10:00 AM and 6:30 PM. I am off Wednesday and Sunday. I normally take my dogs out three times a day at least but four is the regular. I care for my furry friends. Both of my dogs are rescues and i've taught them many commands. I have experience with male dogs that are not neutered as well as female dogs in heat.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends and neighbors and owning my own dog for the past six years. As a dog owner, I understand how stressful it can be when your dog is out of sight, so I closely supervise dogs at all times and do not allow off-leash activity or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I work remotely during the day and attend school in the evenings, so I am only away from home for a short period, about three hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one dog in my home. Dogs are always closely supervised, kept on leash outside the yard, and never allowed to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Safety, structure, and consistency are my top priorities.
About: I've had dog(s) my entire life and have two perfect angels of my own now. I love playing, snuggling and spoiling all doggos. My sister is an experienced Vet Tech, and she's on call at all times in case anything were to go wrong. She also lives around the corner if a visit is needed. My yard is fenced in with a doggie door for true puppy freedom, and I'm within walking distance to the dog park. Growing up around tons of pets and veterinarians, I'm experienced in tendencies and temperaments of dogs and good about picking up on how they're feeling/reacting. From toys to treats to tummy rubs, I'll make your dog feel right at home! I can be as strict or as lenient on diet/exercise as you need. Your pup won't miss a beat!
About: Hello, I’m Nick, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dogs and have experience fostering, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day—regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My home is in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a yard for safe playtime. I’ve set everything up to be dog-friendly so you can feel confident your pet is in a safe and relaxed environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want you to feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. I work from home which means your pet will never be alone more than 1-2 hours, will be provided frequent potty breaks, and endless amounts of love. I live in a private neighborhood that is very animal friendly, along with a yard for your pet to run and play in. I have ensured my entire home is pet friendly and safe for your pet.
About: I've cared for a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, turtles, ducks, and hamsters. With years of experience, I understand and respond to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I'm excited to treat your pets with the same care as my own. I'm flexible with pet care on weekdays and weekends, fitting it into my hybrid work schedule. While September and February are busier due to work travel, my current availability is up to date. Let’s connect and see if I’m a good match for your pet care needs! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their routines and comfort. I follow your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe and secure. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both your pet and you. To build trust and ensure safety, I request a brief discussion about your pet's needs and routines. If possible, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet, but I'm happy to provide services even if that's not an option.
“My experience with Robin was exceptional. I have used another sitter through Rover before and the experience was okay, but I noticed my puppy would come home very riled up and needing to immediately decompress. It often felt like I had to calm him down and get him back to his normal baseline. With Robin, the experience was completely different. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and acting exactly like he does at home. Even during the ride back, he settled into his crate and rested. That told me he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I was also a little nervous about having him around other dogs since he hasn’t spent a lot of time with other puppies. Robin was incredibly patient and reassuring. She allowed me to observe and helped me feel confident that he would be just fine, and he truly was. Another thing that stood out was how much my puppy liked her right away. As soon as he got out of the car, he was excited and curious about going inside, which meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Robin and truly look forward to working with her again. It’s clear my puppy felt safe and comfortable in her care.”
About: From horses, to dogs, cats, rabbits, and more, I have been around animals my entire life and honestly I'm not sure I'd do without them!

Owners will have confidence and peace of mind that I am very familiar with animal behavior and can quickly assess any situation. If you are looking for someone who is great with communication, updates, and will treat your pet like their own, then I would love to give your fur baby a safe place to stay while you're away! **We do have a fully fenced yard and someone here at all times. **Board and train also available upon request. Aside from working 2-3 half day shifts at the the vet clinic, I do work around my barn from home and have ample amount of time to spend with both my pets and yours to make sure they are not alone for hours on end. My home is often called puppy heaven by clients and friends! I have several dog-friendly pups of my own that are off-leash trained and enjoy running and playing in my fenced yard of several acres. If your pup needs any special accommodations, daily meds, or needs to be hand walked, etc., health and safety is priority and I am happy to go above and beyond to make them feel at home!

I love to walk and explore the city so basically if needed I know how to wear dogs out. I am very good at allowing dogs to be who they are and anticipate their needs and wants. .
“Anika clearly cares so much about dogs. Before booking my dog in for daycare, she wanted to meet with us to see if our dogs were a good fit together. I really appreciated her taking the time to do that, because my dog is extremely playful and energetic and not all dogs can handle that! Knowing about a bad previous experience I had with a sitter, I feel like she took extra care to send me updates and pictures of Kaju to put me at ease. She went above and beyond in his care- taking him for walks, letting him play with her dog in the yard, and feeding him on time. I trust her completely to care for Kaju, and I know he trusts her too because he was able to take naps at her place (something that he is not always able to do due to trust issues). Anika is an exemplary dog sitter and we will be returning regularly!”

If allowed I would absolutely love to take them to a local dog park to socialize with more dogs. I also have one friendly kitten and one senior pup!

I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!
About: I have worked at a part-time doggy daycare and boarding facility for over a year now, gaining tons of experience with all kinds of different pups- low energy/high energy- super outgoing/anxious and much more since every fur baby is different from the next. I have taken many animal related college courses that have helped me gain much knowledge about dogs which is just as important as the hands on experience. I also have shadowed veterinarians at animal hospital clinics that’s going towards my vet assistant certification. And last but not least I have had pups of my own, 2 great danes growing up and now my own shelter pup😊. She’s my best friend/daughter/favorite person, I take pride that I take care of every pup the same way I’d want someone taking care of mine. I’m currently working part time but I am available before 12 pm on Sunday's, after 1 pm Monday through Wednesday and completely free Thursday through Saturday. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. With my hands-on experience working with dogs, animal care education, and veterinary shadowing experience, I am prepared to provide attentive and responsible care for pets of all ages. I have an extremely pet friendly female dog that can keep your pup entertained if needed. If not no worries, she is kennel trained and does doggie daycare at my job.
About: I have 2 dogs. A Labmix and Siberian Husky. I have taken care of my dogs since they were puppies. We love to play and go for long walks, sit around, relax and do tricks for fun. The care I provide will depend on the dog’s needs. I am willing to work with any dogs. I’m calm around dogs. I knows what dogs think before they do. I know what they would want. Knowing when they don’t want to be bothered is a key factor in caring for dogs. You want to build trust so you’ll be able to form that unbreakable bond. I’m firm when my dogs want something that they know they should not have. I can be reliable when needed the most. I can travel to you when needed. Also I just genuinely love animals. I currently work in the morning and go to school twice a week. I’m able to do whatever it is needed for your fur babies. I will do everything that the clients request to provide the upmost service as possible and will provide additional love and care while providing requested services.
“Callie helped us out when one of us was traveling. She walked our dog all week and was courteous, on time and kept us informed with pictures and updates. Our dog seemed to have a blast with her and was happy to go to bed after long walks. Would definitely use Callie’s services again. Thank you very much Callie.”
About: I would love to be a sitter and playmate for your dog or cat. Animals are therapy for me and is I'd love to earn a little money helping you out. I've had the three dogs in my life, Queen, Smoky and King. I worked at Petsmart for two years and helped open the first location in Louisiana. I left to attend LSU and I got my Bachelors of Science in Agricultural Business where my love of animals expanded. I am knowledgeable about dogs, pets and animals and I love to learn more. I absolutely love dogs and animals and would love to make friends with your pet. I'm flexible and fun and would really like to be there for your family. My home is pet friendly and just waiting for fury guests. I am applying to graduate school so I am usually at home and I do some work from home so my availability is super flexible. I have a one bedroom apartment and I live alone so there is plenty of room for play and roaming for your animal. I love to walk and explore the city so basically if needed I know how to wear dogs out. I am very good at allowing dogs to be who they are and anticipate their needs and wants. .
About: I have loved animals ever since I was in elementary. I have had 5 Dogs, from a German Shepard to a little Yorkie Poodle mix. Currently I have 2 Guinea Pigs and 2 Leopard Geckos and a beautiful cat named karma. Family members and friends have asked me to look after their fur babies for days and entrusted them with me. I give my all when watching the fur babies and treat it as if they were mine. :) I am currently a full time college student, I am studying marine biology and plan to use that degree to go to a veterinarian School. While I may have classes in the morning and late afternoon, I have plenty of time to look after the beautiful fur babies you trust me with. When first entering an environment, it's important to take a mental note of any hazards that could be a danger to the animal. Any hazards being, loose metal wires they could chew, or foods that may be dangerous to them. Examining a new environment is also important. Always making sure to not have any allowed guests inside the customers house is very important part of great service as well, to instill that trust that the client has put in you for their furry loved one!

About: I’m an animal lover through and through! Hopefully one day soon, a professional pup groomer☺️ and I would love to spend time with your fur babies!! I would prefer to watch your pup(s) at my house since I do have fur babies of my own, or be able to bring my dog along with me to your house. Only if it’s safe to do so of course! Just for reference, my baby is a male, mini-dachshund. He’s 11 years old and is a timid, loving sweet boy. But if that’s not an option, that’s okay too! I also have two cats who are both loving and do well with dogs! If we’re boarding at my house, I can pickup and drop off for you as well. I work a Monday-Friday job, and am typically off by 4:30! Anytime outside of those hours will be allotted for the care of any fur babies you entrust me with(: I live in a quiet spot not far from LSU! I have a pretty big yard and safe walking areas for long walks. All I’ll need is a collar and leash (:

“Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.”
“Although Daxx was prob anxious and homesick I’m sure he had a great time staying w Lauren and Cody this past weekend. She sent me pics of him during his stay which was really nice as I was missing my boy. I’m sure his favorite part of staying there was the kids he could play with and the attention he received. We will def ask Lauren and Cody if they could watch him again next time we take a trip that he can’t join us on.”
“Savannah was very loving toward my girls. My dogs came home, healthy, and happy and we got regular updates from Savannah during their time with her. Will definitely rebook! She was even willing to work with us when our vacation plans changed, which was a huge relief!”
“Wonderful as always...Chelsy is so attentive to our baby and keeps us informed with pics and texts. Really appreciate how much she cares about Sweet pea and treats her as if she is her own.”
“Nicest young couple; immediately made Turkey feel welcome in their home. Showed me around their backyard and home; helped me set up Turkey’s crate, and let me know Turkey was free to sleep in the crate or anywhere he wanted to. Very accommodating and sent me the cutest photos of Turkey and their 1 1/2 year old son playing/hugging each other. Will be my 1st choice sitter in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“Kelly was an excellent choice to watch Hoss for a couple of days while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and offered a very flexible schedule as it related to drop-off/pick-up options. We've already been in discussions for the next booking, would recommend.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for dogs. Caring for them has never felt like a responsibility to me — it’s something that genuinely brings me happiness and purpose. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping my dog safely give birth to seven beautiful puppies and being there every step of the way to care for them as they grew. From the moment they were born, I made sure each puppy was healthy, well-fed, clean, loved, and properly cared for. I dedicated my time and patience to house training all seven puppies, teaching them potty training, crate training, basic commands like sitting, and understanding boundaries around the home. I even trained them not to leave the yard despite not having a gate, showing them discipline, trust, and consistency through positive reinforcement and daily attention. I believe dogs deserve love, patience, protection, and gentle guidance. I naturally create safe, comforting environments where animals feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, emotions, routines, and needs to ensure they stay happy and healthy at all times. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, exercise, grooming, or simply giving them affection and companionship, I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog feels like family. Being around dogs has taught me responsibility, compassion, patience, and unconditional love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing dependable, trustworthy, and loving care that owners can feel confident in. As a full-time dog sitter and babysitter, as well as a member of the Navy Reserves, my days are built around responsibility, reliability, and structure. I start each morning with a workout before taking care of errands and preparing for the day ahead. Whenever I have a babysitting or dog-sitting commitment, it becomes my top priority, and I dedicate my time and attention to ensuring that every child or pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. My military background has taught me discipline, accountability, and the importance of following through on my commitments. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives families peace of mind while they're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, so I make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions carefully and consistently. From feeding schedules and exercise to medications and special care requirements, I ensure that each pet receives the exact care their owner expects. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their families are away.

“Olivia was THE BEST! My pup was so well cared for and had the best time with her animals. Olivia kept me updated the whole time and I know Jo received the best care. I will definitely be booking with Olivia in the future!”

“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”
“Julie was really great! She sent us several pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Our dogs seemed right at home with her and like they had a great time while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”
