About: I have 20+ years in caring for someone elses loved ones. Growing up, I have always had a dog family member and I absolutely love animals. I’ve never had a day without a pet in my life. I have a spacious fenced in yard, that your pet can run and play. I am home all hours of the day and nigh and can honor any needs your pet requires. Your best friend is my best friend in this house! I am home all day! I am able to follow all routines your pet may have. We can play fetch or snuggle, whichever your furry friend needs! Although I do require a 24 hour request to prepare for sitting. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to play or couches they can lounge on. Whichever they prefer, I have both!
“5 stars! I couldn’t be happier with the care Nova received! Abogail and her wonderful children went above and beyond to make sure my Nova was comfortable and happy while I was away. I accidentally forgot to pack my dog’s bowls and toys, but she was so prepared and thoughtful she had extra bowls and plenty of toys on hand, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell Nova was well loved and well taken care of the entire time. She made sure to stay in contact with me with updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and prepared sitter! If I could give more than 5 starts I would! Don’t think twice Abogail is the best choice you will not be disappointed I PROMISE!”
“Karen is a God send. Kooper loves her and her family, especially her husband Don. Karen is the sitter I’ve had in my entire life and I’ve had a lot of dogs being that I’ll be 65 next month. I don’t know what we’ll do if she stops taking care of dogs. I’m at peace when Kooper’s with her and Don.”
“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I’m your girl. I have been working in the animal field for the past 11 years. I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids. While you enjoy your time away your baby will be able to enjoy cuddling on the couch watching tv or running outside in my fenced yard with my 2 goofballs. My goal is to make sure your baby is well taken care of and comfy so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I currently work full time at the hospital. I have plenty of time in the mornings and after work to care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company! I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!
“10/10 would recommend! Victoria took care of a new dog of ours on short notice, twice. I received many pictures and updates. I have full confidence my pup was treated as one of her own! Also, her dogs played well with her and I received many pictures of them all snuggled up.”
“Amber is awesome! My pup, Marina, had THE BEST time with Amber!! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and an excellent trustworthy dogsitter. My pup didn’t want to leave she had so much fun! We will definitely be rebooking again real soon!”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Bobbi is a great sitter ! 10/10 I highly recommend. She took care of my two dogs for about 5 days and sent me updates & pictures often. She is very sweet & I would not hesitate to let her sit our puppies again.”
“Sandy was absolutely wonderful. In the 4.5 years we have had Roxy we have never had a great experience with dog boarding. I have never seen Roxy as happy as she was being picked anywhere else other than Sandy's place. She took amazing care of Roxy updating us with pictures and little messages during our Vacation. She took her for lots of walks and to the dog park! It was the first vacation where we could really relax knowing our fur baby was in such great hands! We have already re booked her for next Vacation. Thank you Sandy for such amazing service!!”
About: I grew up with many animals, and have been a pet owner my whole adult life. I frequently pet sat for family friends throughout my high school and college years.

“Tiana was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how he was doing. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Kelly was fabulous! This was our first time using Rover and Kelly came highly recommended to us. Our 10-year old dog was well taken care of all around, and we enjoyed our vacation time so much more knowing our dog was safe, happy, and comfortable in Kelly’s home. We got photos everyday and Kelly communicated very well. Her home is clean, and because she is a dog owner, she knew how important and special our dog is to us!”
“Desirae was great, going above and beyond, treating Jazz' chronic ear issues better than we do ourselves! Jazz seemed happy (via the photos and videos) and took to her right-away. He was in excellent hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and lifelong experience with animals. I grew up in a pet-friendly home where caring for animals was part of everyday life, so I understand the patience, attention, and compassion they need. I’ve also sheltered and cared for pets until they were ready to find their forever homes, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently work part-time so I have a lot of time and space for pet sitting! I’m available throughout the week & weekends as well.

“Kayla was wonderful! She was responsive and always sent pics even getting some from under the sofa of our fella who hid whenever she came to feed home. Would definitely reccomend her to take care of your furry friends🤩”
About: I got my first dog when I was 16 which led me to learning more about dogs! When I moved out I decided I wanted a puppy of my own and I have taught her how to sit, stay, and lay down.

I’m currently working part time and getting off of work around noon which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups! I am able to provide a flexible schedule and work with you as best as I can!

“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Mia has been a lifesaver, providing drop-in visits for our father’s cat, Blue. We had an immediate, unexpected need for someone and were so happy when Mia agreed. We have called upon her twice because she is incredibly reliable, kind, and goes out of her way to help in any way she can. We highly recommend her and appreciate all she did for us during a difficult time.”
“Gabrielle was very professional. She was on time for all of her appointments and took care of everything I asked her to do. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her servicescagain.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little wary about letting a stranger into my house. But Mason’s personality was very reassuring from the start. He was prompt for our meet-and-greet before I booked him, and he was awesome and friendly. Mason was kind, communicative, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He sent updates and pictures, and I appreciated how much attention he gave them. My normally shy cats even came out to see him, which says a lot. I’d absolutely book Mason again.”
About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve worked at both the zoo and the Louisiana Nature Center as an educator and animal caretaker, where I helped with training and husbandry for a variety of animal ambassadors. At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)
“Evelyn was a wonderful communicator! She regularly sent videos and photos of our cats, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was truly heartwarming to see how much time and care she took to play with them. We highly recommend Evelyn and are so grateful for her excellent service. Thank you!”
“Bobbi was great with my cats, one of whom needed medicine daily. Pictures and reports were reassuring and questions were appreciated and appropriate. Would absolutely have her stay with my babies again. Thank you so much.”

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”

“Lindsey is awesome. She gave me lots of pics & updated me without me having to ask. I have a bulldog & was worried about humidity but she paid attention to detail & took amazing care of him. I felt great having him in her hands & I found myself relaxed that I knew he was in good hands. He also came home with a little dog report card. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and have a back yard to let your dogs run free. I have plenty of toys to play with and lots of love to give! I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.

About: I am very patient with puppies and I can train them and I will make sure any dog and my hair stays clean if they are filthy and finally clean drinking water and treats the owners approved. I have a flexible schedule for the dog owners when they are for me and I can work every day if needed and that’s all. I will make sure the dog has a fresh clean bowl of water and they will have access to run or walk in the backyard if they gotta go potty.
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
“This is exactly what my dog needed! A place with nice dogs and room for him to play outside! He is exhausted and happy. Much better than any daycare I’ve ever tried before. Sawsan is kind, trustworthy and honest and I can’t wait to take Bodhi back again!”
“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”
About: If your pup is ready to fetch a ball, go for a walk or lounge around and watch tv, I’ll be ready to accommodate any needs. I prefer to care for fewer pets (one or two) per day and also while boarding, that way, I can give more individual attention to your pup. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Charlie who would love to show your pup around our large fenced in yard that offers a safe and fun place to play and explore.
“Sandy was a blessing to find! She made sure I was completely comfortable before I left my girls with her. I received pictures and a little story about their time together each day, needless to say my separation anxiety was eliminated!! I will be using Sandy in the future and I highly recommend that you do too!”
About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱
“Ony had a very good time and says you took very good care of her. She can’t wait to see you and play with Jackson again. Thank you so much for everything. I will definitely get in touch with you again. You were great!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. A year after Cici passed, I adopted a dog named Betty who taught me how to love again. I didn’t realize that it was possible to have more than one soul dogs. Unfortunately, she passed away from heartworms 3 months after I adopted her (she already previously had heartworms from the place I adopted her from and was on medicine). So after that, yeah I’m not doing that again haha. My heart can’t take it. However, I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving and hopefully mend my broken heart. I promise I’ll treat them how I would’ve treated Cici and Betty!!!! The pain of losing them was so great only because the love I had for them was even greater. And I have an abundance of love to give! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was old enough to remember! Grew up on a farm tending to dogs, cats, horses, and goats! So my experience isn’t lacking! I would love for this to be my full time job! I have a current job but would love for this to become a full time thing! I will care for them exactly how there owners would if not try to exceed those expectations! I look at each pet as a family member! I am currently doing this full time so my schedule is fully open to the needs of your fur babies! I absolutely love animals so this is a dream come true! I am now able to do in home boarding services and welcome your babies with full arms! I would love to love your babies as my own!

If your dog prefers their own space, we also have room for crates and can easily accommodate any special needs or routines.
About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and have a back yard to let your dogs run free. I have plenty of toys to play with and lots of love to give! I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.
About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits) since I was a youngster. Loving gentle care that is tailored to each pet's needs is what I strive to provide. I currently work part-time out of the home....mostly on weekends. So, my weekdays are fairly open for walks, park visits, and fun activities. I provide walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care in your home. Each client and their pets get a custom plan of care that is tailored to your needs. I'm very detailed oriented and good w your instructions!
About: I have years of experience working with animals. I have volunteered in shelters and have been pet sitting for years. I can take care of many types of animals, no matter if they’re furry or scaly! Training, medicine (no injections) or extensive playtime are all acceptable! My schedule is flexible. I have open availability and can work around tough schedules. If you have any questions about my schedule, just ask me! I will treat your pets with the utmost love and respect. I will follow any rules or schedules you have to the letter. Lots of cuddles and playtime will be given freely unless it is not you or your pets wishes! I have a lot of patience and can deal with anxious/aggressive animals. Pet sitting is my main focus right now. I keep my schedule flexible so I can do what’s best for you and your pet’s needs! I always ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I want them to feel safe and secure while I am in their home. I will give as much attention or space as needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Before getting a dog of my own, I spent a year working with a pet sitting company, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Now, my dog Miller is my whole world, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have another job however your pets are still my priority. I think we can definitely work something out to make sure your pets get the care they need. My dog Miller is a huge part of my life, and I take his care seriously, from regular exercise and attention to making homemade meals to keep him healthy and happy. I also travel often for work, and Miller comes with me whenever possible, so I understand the importance of routine, companionship, and making pets feel included and comfortable no matter the environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.
“Bobbi was very friendly. She was very punctual. My dogs came back from their walks so happy. Now they are getting ready for a nap. I am extremely happy with Bobbi. I will definitely ask her to come again.”
“I own a very quirky dog who was badly abused in the past. She does not take kindly to strangers. Evelyn was patient and kind, and eventually won Lily's trust. She treated both of my dogs as if they were her own. I can't think of enough good things to say about her. If you love your pooches and want them to have the very best care, don't hesitate for a moment......contact Evelyn. (Plus she has 2 of the cutest kids you've ever met!)”
About: I've lived with both large breed and small breed dogs for as long as I can remember, helping to bathe, groom, walk, play, administer medications, and of course snuggle! Friends and family have occasionally asked me to sit with, walk, feed, or just let out their pets to go potty, from under a year old to middle aged or senior. Outside of the veterinary world, I'm an ICU nurse in adult health. I like to read and play video games, and hope I can be of some help! My primary job schedule is one week on/one week off of overnight shiftwork, but generally every other weekend (the 2nd and 4th weekends of the month) I have availability. Im open to discussion for weekdays, or mornings on my way home from work. I dont have pets of my own, as I live in an apartment with little space to run around and play. But, I've administered medications to dogs, can do some light grooming, short walks, etc. Snuggles and kisses come free of charge!
About: I’ve fostered dogs from when I was about 8 until I was about 17, I then adopted my own dog. I’ve pet sat for family, friends and neighbors over the years, and used to work part time at a bording kennel. I have some experience with post surgery care, along with administrating oral medicine. I have experience with lots of different breeds (especially larger breeds) and personality’s. I also have some experience with cats, and have a bird of my own. I also have a little experience with reptiles, and i’m am open to learning anything new. I currently have a part time job, so I have lots of free time. I’m available most hours of most days, just need about a days notice. At this point and time I can’t normally pet sit in my home, as I am currently living with my parents. Sometimes we can take a male dog, my dog gets along with all male dogs, and only females with slow and proper introduction. You can always reach out and I can talk to my parents. Dog must also be kid friendly, as we have my one year old son in the home as well 😊
About: I am and have always been a genuine animal lover! Their uniqueness inspires and heals me. As your pet sitter and caregiver ensuring your pet feels comfortable, understood and secure will be my top priorities! I have had and loved multiple dogs over the years but it has been from my current experience as a dog mom to my Great Dane “Hans” that I understand all dogs needs are unique and you must meet them where they are to share a connection and mutual respect. Furthermore, I have cared for neighbor’s and family member’s pets off and on for over 14 years now. This includes care for cats and big and small dogs ( Yorkies, Danes, labs, shih tzu ,beagles )! If I’m what you are looking for to care for your beloved fur baby/babies reach out …. I can’t wait to hear from you! Kayla I’m available Monday - Thursday . I can accommodate any times between 10:30- 2:45pm. I am also available occasionally on Tuesday and Thursday evening between 6 pm -7pm I am available to sit with , walk, and /or feed your pets! I am also available for basic pet maintenance such as litter box cleaning or dog pad changes .
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They love me and I treat them as if they are my own child. I have three Australian shepherds and they are my whole world. They are so energetic and keep me active so being active with your dog is no problem. I am available any time as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!

“Anna has been absolutely amazing very flexible with pick up and drop of times! Sent tons of pictures of my pup and he looks like he’s having a blast! Will definitely use her again for any future trips!!”
“5 stars! I couldn’t be happier with the care Nova received! Abogail and her wonderful children went above and beyond to make sure my Nova was comfortable and happy while I was away. I accidentally forgot to pack my dog’s bowls and toys, but she was so prepared and thoughtful she had extra bowls and plenty of toys on hand, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell Nova was well loved and well taken care of the entire time. She made sure to stay in contact with me with updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and prepared sitter! If I could give more than 5 starts I would! Don’t think twice Abogail is the best choice you will not be disappointed I PROMISE!”
“Karen is a God send. Kooper loves her and her family, especially her husband Don. Karen is the sitter I’ve had in my entire life and I’ve had a lot of dogs being that I’ll be 65 next month. I don’t know what we’ll do if she stops taking care of dogs. I’m at peace when Kooper’s with her and Don.”
“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Need a reliable pet sitter? I’m your girl. I have been working in the animal field for the past 11 years. I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids. While you enjoy your time away your baby will be able to enjoy cuddling on the couch watching tv or running outside in my fenced yard with my 2 goofballs. My goal is to make sure your baby is well taken care of and comfy so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I currently work full time at the hospital. I have plenty of time in the mornings and after work to care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company! I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Bobbi is a great sitter ! 10/10 I highly recommend. She took care of my two dogs for about 5 days and sent me updates & pictures often. She is very sweet & I would not hesitate to let her sit our puppies again.”
“Sandy was absolutely wonderful. In the 4.5 years we have had Roxy we have never had a great experience with dog boarding. I have never seen Roxy as happy as she was being picked anywhere else other than Sandy's place. She took amazing care of Roxy updating us with pictures and little messages during our Vacation. She took her for lots of walks and to the dog park! It was the first vacation where we could really relax knowing our fur baby was in such great hands! We have already re booked her for next Vacation. Thank you Sandy for such amazing service!!”
“Kelly was fabulous! This was our first time using Rover and Kelly came highly recommended to us. Our 10-year old dog was well taken care of all around, and we enjoyed our vacation time so much more knowing our dog was safe, happy, and comfortable in Kelly’s home. We got photos everyday and Kelly communicated very well. Her home is clean, and because she is a dog owner, she knew how important and special our dog is to us!”
“Desirae was great, going above and beyond, treating Jazz' chronic ear issues better than we do ourselves! Jazz seemed happy (via the photos and videos) and took to her right-away. He was in excellent hands.”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“This was our first use of a Rover sitter and it was perfect. Our pups were happy and calm when they returned which tells me they were happy and calm while there. Courtney sent updates and cute photos. All our instructions were followed regarding meds, walks and food, and when our senior pup, Jazz, was being picky about eating, Courtney added some broth to encourage her which worked! Thank you, Courtney!”
“Cierra was awesome - very quick to respond to the request for booking, even though it was very "last minute". She was very friendly and professional and obviously took very good care of our dog while we were away. Cierra kept us updated frequently on our dog throughout the weekend with texts and photos. She was also very flexible with the scheduling. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Cierra D. and will be calling on her again in the future!!”
“Sawsan was fantastic, would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends in the area. She was responsive and sent daily videos and photos of Quinn. Quinn came back to us happy, tired and her normal self. I'd give Sawsan 6 stars if I could!”
