“I boarded my dog with Megan & Jaime for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was warm and welcoming, and she made my dog, Taj, feel right at home. Her house is beautiful and has a huge fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs to play and relax safely. She even sent me a photo of Taj lounging in the yard, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Taj even came home with a new toy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place to board their dog!”
“Karyn’s always a great sitter for Lou! Sends plenty of updates and was so kind to work with a change of pick up time at the last minute. Lou is looking forward to staying again!”
“Lola, my son’s dog seemed so happy to be with Amanda…she is terrified of storms but Amanda let her sit in her lap during the worst part…very sweet lady who loves animals…we are leaving Lola again for about 8 days and are confident that she will be happy and well cared for…thanks Amanda❣️”
“Absolute great overall experience. Cooper loved his stay and was giving amazing attention entire time. Brianna stayed updating us and made his stay comfortable for him and us being away from home. Will definitely rebook in future.”

“Charlotte was amazing, and we will definitely be using her for our future boarding needs. She kept us updated the entire time with lots of pics and we could tell our pup had a great week with her.”
“Heather responded quickly to questions and kept me updated on my dog's visit. The initial meet and greet went well and my dog got along well with her dog which was good. Sampson seemed very comfortable and happy when we dropped him off and picked him up. I felt comfortable that she would watch and care for the same as we would. I give her a 5-star rating for the visit and plan to book again if she's available.”
“I really cannot say enough good things about Candy! My dogs had a vacation of their own staying with her! And she always sent photos daily of them doing fun outdoor activities without me even having to ask. She was the best sitter I’ve seen so far and it is definitely worth the drive out to her place!”
“An amazing sitter. I went on a 5 day cruise and was so nervous about leaving my fur baby with anybody. Thankfully, Tenashia took my very last minute request and the experience was a 10/10. Very responsive when I checked in on him. She cared for my dog as if he were hers, and I couldn’t be happier. Super friendly, when I met her I knew my baby was in good hands. Will definitely book again.”

“Very friendly. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and cat. They definitely didn’t not want to leave. She gave updated and did a meet and greet before hand to get to know them. We will be back”
“Tamara did an amazing job taking care of Rico. I was very nervous, when I had to leave him, but she constantly informed me of how he was doing, and took plenty of pictures. I had a great trip , and didn’t have to worry about how Rico was doing. I recommend Tamara 100%”

“Awesome Sitter she knows my dogs are well loved and she extended. Herself and her beautiful girls to them . My rescue has anxiety and trust issues but still she rose above it . I am so grateful . She knows how to handle the fur babies ! ❤️🙏💪”
About: I love all dogs and cats. I’ve had cats and dogs all my life. I have 2 cats right now Tiger and Carl. I have 2 fury nephews Dior and Fen Ben. I take care of my furry nephews while my sister is at work. Pet care fits in with my daily routine because I feed my own cats in the morning and change their litter box throughout the day. While my older sister is at her job I go over and spend time with my fury nephews. I feed and play with them. I also take them on walks around her neighborhood. I have a fenced in backyard so your pet is safe and can’t get out of my sight. I love to have playtime with your pets. I have no problem changing a cat litter box or taking your dog for a walk.
“Great first experience using Rover! Simone was very nice and shared photos of my dogs daily. She cared for and treated them as part of her family which is something I truly appreciated. I will definitely be using her again”

About: I live with a cat that belongs to my roommate, and I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for her as part of our shared home. I have grown up with cats, so I’ve also learned from experience and become very comfortable understanding cat behavior and routines. I help with daily feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure the cat feels safe and comfortable in a calm environment. I’m very attentive and responsible, and I treat every pet with care as if they were my own. I also work in the medical field, which has strengthened my attention to detail and ability to stay calm and reliable in any situation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Katie has been the absolute BEST watching my two pups and why I have continued to use her over and over. I’ve used sitters both off and on rover and she is truly the most reliable, trustful, and personable. She makes our vacations much more pleasant because I know the pups are being so well cared for.”
“Lindy took great care of our cat and home! She did a wonderful job with a tricky oral medication administration, and made sure he had lots of love and attention while we were away. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them
About: A cat was my first pet and I’ve had a place in my heart for them ever since. Have dealt with administering medications to a cat with seizures and a cat with UTI issues. Not gonna say I love cleaning litter boxes lol but I know what has to be done. Also have experience with a litter robot.
“Jerri was wonderful with Coco & BenJamin’! She came to our home and had a meet & greet with us the evening before. They both acted like they had known her forever. She kept us well informed during the morning and visit, sending pictures and letting us know how it was going. Coco never eats when we’re gone but Jerri worked her magic getting her to eat. We are grateful to have found her and plan on having her come for regular weekly visits. Thank you, Jerri!!!”
About: I mostly grew up with dogs, but have had cats for around the last 10 years. Currently I have three cats of my own. I have recently raised a litter of kittens whenever I had a pregnant cat come to me for help. That was one of the best experiences I have had. I will be kind and patient with your cats and fulfill any needs they may have. With cats I have learned to read body language to understand what kind of boundaries they may have, so I am able to be more patient with them if that is needed.

“Sadie and I would definitely recommend Megan for doggy daycare! She is prompt and reliable--Always responded to messaging right away. She seems genuine and friendly. Sadie, who is a little shy with strangers, warmed to her quickly. We would certainly use her kind services again!”
About: Hi, I’m Simone. I love all animals, big and small and in-between. Animals love me as well! I’m patient and have dealt with a variety of animals in my life time, from long hair cats to domestic short hairs, to large breed dogs down to small, toy sized breeds. I am an active person and currently walk my own dog 1-2 times a day, so walking other people’s animals is right up my alley. I also enjoy spoiling and loving on all types of animals, cats and dogs alike. I look forward to opening my house and providing services for whoever may need them! I look forward to working with and meeting all my new animal friends! I can’t wait to work for their humans either. Hope to hear from you soon!
About: I’ve been drawn to dogs, horses, cats, and pretty much any animal with four legs (well even the ones that only have 3 limbs and are rescues) since I was little. I’ve never not had some sort of rescue dog. I am used to taking care of special needs and making sure animals get lots of attention and love. I am asked by friends and neighbors to take care of walking, feeding, and loving their pets while away. I haven’t met a dog/cat that I haven’t fallen in love with. I am also available to walk your dog daily. I stay at home with my father who is 80 years old in a four bedroom house. Your pet will get round the clock attention with frequent exercise, petting and feeding with your schedule requests. Your pet will be very loved and well taken care of. I am also experienced with special needs with medications or modifications that you may have. Your animal can spend time in the house and I also have a large fenced in yard. If an indoor pet your animal will have their own room (I have two extra bedrooms). If you prefer they can sleep in my room on pet pillows. I will take your pet on walks and they will also have a large backyard to explore. My dog (Copper) will stay with my father if I am going to your home. Light housekeeping and meal prep are available if needed for an additional fee.
About: I have loved and taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a kid! I have worked in a veterinary clinic, volunteered in animal shelters, and have fostered, vetted, and found homes for around 12 animals over the past 10 years. Needless to say, I am the go-to "animal person" for my friends and family! My partner and I have a dog named Loki and a cat, Hayden, who has access to a dog-free room. I am home full time so your pet will not be alone too often. I would be thrilled to have a chance to take care of your fur-babies! I am currently available any time, 7 days a week for boarding or day-care I am home all day most of the week! I will only be out of the home some days no longer than 2-3 hours. For your pups, I have a spacious and secure fenced-in yard, and a 5 year old corgi who loves to play and meet new friends. When we are not home, he is kenneled and camera monitored for safety. However your prefer your pet to be left for short periods of time, arrangements can be made! My partner and I are both huge dog lovers, and will care for your babies like we care for our own! For cats, arrangements can be made for then to stay in a room by themselves to lessen anxiety or if they do not like dogs/other cats.
“Thanks for everything Susan! Buddy had a great time and came back exhausted. My fur baby means the world to me and I needed someone who would take care of him like me. We will be making more appointments in the future!!”

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember. We have always been a family of pet lovers. Pets are more than just pets to me; they are family! I’d be happy to assist in caring for your loved ones as if they’re one of my own. I am currently self-employed and able to adjust my schedule as needed by my Rover clients. I am usually available between 7 am and 10 pm as well as for overnight/weekend sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 6 kitties at my home. Happy to help with drop ins, walks, overnights, and boarding in special circumstances.
“Gabrielle was amazing. Jake had a great time hanging out. I will absolutely use her again next time I'm in town. I was so fortunate to find her close to where I was going to be! Thank you again 💙”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of experience, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve been pet sitting for over five years and previously worked in a veterinary clinic for three years, which has given me valuable hands on experience recognizing normal vs. concerning behaviors and providing attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the pets I care for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize reliability and making sure each pet stays comfortable in their normal routine while their owners are away. 🐾 I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also spend quality time with them so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I send regular photo updates so clients can see how their pets are doing and have peace of mind.
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
“Tabitha took great care of Athena. She was excited to return the 2nd day, and really enjoyed being treated as one of the family. I appreciate the flexibility and the devotion Tabitha showed.”
About: I've been pet sitting on Rover for over 4 years now and I have over 10 years experience overall! I have cats of my own and had dogs growing up in the country. I'll treat your pet friends with trust,care, and lots of attention!!😏 *Please if you can; I love meet and greets. They make stays far more comfortable and are FREE!! My schedules pretty open and Im home most of the time! I strive to make myself affordable and give the best care for you and your animals! I'm home for most holidays due to not having much family! I try to stay reliable and affordable at all times and love meeting new people and animals! I currently live in a three bedroom house with a fenced yard. If chosen to care for your animals... I'd be very kind, patient and passionate while dealing with them. I'd make sure they have plenty of food and water and make sure they use the bathroom or have a clean litter box. I never discipline and I refuse to take a dog with a shock collar. The house is less than a mile outside of town and offers a large yard for walking and running on a leash. If you board with me, your dog or cat will be in safe hands. I'd report any kind of issue to you immediately. I like to send a lot of photos and videos during the service, I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with an unknown person.
About: I have loved all animals from a young age but have an especially soft spot for dogs. I have worked with a pitbull rescue in the past, volunteered at rescue events and shelters and my sister has been a vet tech for over a decade. I currently have 7 fur baby rescues of my own that I have found wandering the streets all different sizes and breeds : ) I work full-time but from home. I have a constant rotation in place for letting pups out to potty, play, and spend one on one time with them. I am almost always home except for a few hours throughout the week to workout or run errands. My personal pets have an underground fence that keeps them in the yard, however I have 3 large covered runs under the carport each with a grassy area and shop fans, cots, and large water basins if extended outdoor time is required other than a leash walk for your baby. Indoors I have 2 bedrooms designated for pups as well as a living area. I rotate groups throughout these areas as well as outside during the day as I have dogs of all ages and activity levels.
About: Hi there! I’m Jerri Carson, a passionate animal lover and dog sitter excited to provide your furry friend with the care and attention they deserve. While I’m new to professional dog sitting, I’ve spent a lifetime around pets and know how important it is to give them lots of love and attention. I've cared for pets in my family and community, gaining valuable experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Professional pet sitters in my family are experienced and top rated. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for your pup. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some cuddles and companionship, I’m here to help make your dog’s (and your) day happy and stress-free. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and eager to build trust with both you and your pet. I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it’s a nice walk or some good playtime. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family member and becoming their new favorite sitter! If you’re looking for someone mature, caring and trustworthy to look after your furry friend, I’d love to help out! I’m retired from the corporate world and am dependable and flexible. I’m responsive and answer messages usually within a few minutes. I have a special spot in my heart for furry babies, big and small. I have a large fenced yard at home and am pet proof inside. My own sweet girl, a Brussels Griffon lived 16 years and was irreplaceable. In last years, I cooked her a special diet and gave her meds crushed in a few drops of local honey and a few drops of water when it became too hard to get her to take them any other way. She ate the cheese and spit out the pill!

About: 💗 30+ Years Experience | Pet Lover & Rescue Mom 💗 About Me: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience. From seniors to puppies, shy cats to sassy small breeds—I’ve cared for them all with patience, love, and genuine joy. I live with a small crew of rescues who remind me every day why I do this. Meet my furry family: 🐾 Sadie – my 17-year-old gentle senior pup who’s full of wisdom and love 🐾 Harley – a 9-year-old tuxedo cat with a flair for the dramatic and a heart of gold (even if he pretends otherwise) 🐾 Nemo – my 7-year-old Pomchi with a signature pout and a heart that melts for cuddles 🐾 Marley – a 5 lb Chi and the definition of a momma’s boy, always by my side Each of them came to me as a rescue, and their individual personalities have taught me how to tune into an animal’s needs—whether it’s a slow introduction, a cozy nap buddy, or just the right way to scratch behind the ears. I specialize in senior care, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households.

About: I have had a dog for 10 years, since I was 12, and she was a black lab and rhodesian ridgeback mix. She was a super energetic puppy and had to be played with and walked a lot. I got two cats at the very beginning of 2022 and I’ve taken care of them by myself since. I love playing with cats and giving them love. I will walk dogs at least twice a day, if not more. I currently work at Whole Foods Market and I typically work five days out of the week and work 7-2pm, and I will be home for the rest of the day. It will be super easy to fit the animals into my daily schedule. I have two cats to keep your animals company, but if your dogs don’t like cats then I will keep them separated. I will be walking your dogs at least twice a day, if not more. I will play with them as much as they like and I will follow any stipulations that the client would like to talk about.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have my own Golden Retriever, which has given me daily experience with feeding routines, exercise, training reinforcement, and overall care for an active dog. I also live with a cat, so I’m very familiar with cat behavior, litter box maintenance, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for them. In addition to my personal experience, I work in the medical field, which has made me very attentive, responsible, and calm in any situation. I’m confident in my ability to notice changes in behavior, respond appropriately, and handle unexpected situations with care and good judgment. I work part time/ PRN so my schedule is flexible I can come in the early mornings and late afternoons! But open to flexibility for the owners I have a fenced in yard with 2 doggies at my house and 1 cat. They all get along and have experience training my dog for the past two years
About: I currently have two dogs. My miniature Aussie, Bonnie, is a 12 year old pup who I have had since she was a puppy. My other pup is a black lab named Spade and she is 13 years old. Caring for these two girls brings me so much happiness that I decided to branch out and offer pet care services. I currently care for one other dog, a vizsla, that is almost 3 years old. He stays overnight with us when his parents are out of town. I also babysit a 10 week old black lab puppy at my house whenever her parents are busy. I am new to offering pet care services but I am well versed in loving and caring for animals. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and can't wait to start meeting them all! Thank you for considering me for your pet care and please reach out with any questions!! I am currently available every Monday - Friday and also weekends and holidays! Please reach out with any questions!! Can’t wait to meet your pups!🥰 I currently am available weekdays and weekends! Morning, afternoon, and evenings. Just let me know which time you need and we can work it out! I have a large fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing. Our two dogs love the yard and spend a lot of time out there whenever we are home. We have ample toys to share for entertainment! Our dogs love to bring their toys outside to play. The two other dogs I care for love playing in the yard as well. It is never a dull moment with this crew! I do allow our two dogs to lay on the couches with us as well as the other two pups I care for sometimes. I use harnesses on my two dogs for their walks around the neighborhood. I live in a low traffic neighborhood that is great for walking around. I can offer drop ins as well to walk, feed, or play with your pup. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and am so excited to start this journey! Please reach out with any questions or concerns and I would be happy to discuss!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dogs and cats before and have dog sat for a few people before! I have experience with keeping dogs entertained and not much really phases me anymore. I’m currently job searching, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or care for your pup right now! I just need a few days notice for anything other than dog walking! I follow any instructions left for me when it comes to dog care and walking. I’ve done stop ins for people where I let the dogs out and given them exercise and the likes! I just need to know their needs beforehand!

I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, shy pups, and everything in between! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a teacher during the week, so my pet care schedule fits perfectly around that! I’m available in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency when their owners need it most. I have a dog of my own, but I live in an apartment, so boarding in my home isn’t ideal. My dog is friendly so play dates are definitely an option if you’re okay with it! I prefer caring for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow all provided instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them
About: All my life I have always had a furry friend and that love is more unique than any love you could get. One thing I live by is loving and treating every pet like they are my own and I have experience from new born puppies to helping with the needs of senior dogs/cats and everyday I am still learning. I am available most days out of the week as long as it is in advanced and can accommodate your needs. I’m available every weekend and holidays! I currently have 1 dog that lives with me but unfortunately will not be able to care for any at my own home. At your home I can work with whatever task you are given me and can be flexible if for example, told there is no fenced yard or if the pet needs to be kept outdoors. I will not be able to stay over nights but can care for pets as long as I need to!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working in veterinary medicine for over 10 years and my passion for animals. I love them!! I am currently working full time but can provide care on the weekends and days that I am off. I am also willing to provide care on some weekdays as well if close to where I work. I care for my pets in my home by treating them as if they are my children. My fur babies are super spoiled. I have a fenced in yard and provide them with super quality care constantly especially with me working in veterinary medicine I am always on alert for any problems.
About: Have had pets since I was young. Experience with a variety ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents. Newborn to seniors and special needs. Recently stopped working and soon to be an empty nester when my daughter leaves for grad school. This will give me pretty much open availability. Will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own but with your instructions. They will never lack for love and attention.
About: I am very friendly with trained dogs and get along well with them. I'm more familiar with cats, but ever-growing my dog person skillset. 😄 I am currently unemployed, searching for my next full time(40hr) role. I can attend to pet care as needed 🙂 Will Communicate if I can care for your pet asap 😄 I take care of all Homes with extra caution and care, I take pride in treating spaces I'm a guest in better than my own :)
About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
About: With over 3 years of hands-on experience in dog grooming, I specialize in not only keeping your pet looking their best but also ensuring their comfort and well-being. I am adept at monitoring stress levels and behaviors, providing personalized care tailored to their specific health needs. Your furry companion will receive attentive, professional care under my watchful eye, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in expert hands. Choose me for a reliable and compassionate approach to pet care that goes beyond the basics, ensuring a happy and healthy experience for your beloved pet. Pet care is my daily commitment. I groom dogs in the mornings during the weekdays allowing for evening availability on weekdays and dedicated attention throughout weekends for your beloved furry companions. I prioritize personalized care for your pet. This includes regular potty breaks, strict adherence to feeding schedules, and meticulous attention to their health needs. Your pet will receive a comfortable environment where they can thrive, coupled with plenty of exercise, affection, and any necessary medical care to ensure their well-being.

“I boarded my dog with Megan & Jaime for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was warm and welcoming, and she made my dog, Taj, feel right at home. Her house is beautiful and has a huge fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs to play and relax safely. She even sent me a photo of Taj lounging in the yard, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Taj even came home with a new toy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place to board their dog!”
“Karyn’s always a great sitter for Lou! Sends plenty of updates and was so kind to work with a change of pick up time at the last minute. Lou is looking forward to staying again!”
“Lola, my son’s dog seemed so happy to be with Amanda…she is terrified of storms but Amanda let her sit in her lap during the worst part…very sweet lady who loves animals…we are leaving Lola again for about 8 days and are confident that she will be happy and well cared for…thanks Amanda❣️”

Sampson seemed very comfortable and happy when we dropped him off and picked him up. I felt comfortable that she would watch and care for the same as we would. I give her a 5-star rating for the visit and plan to book again if she's available.”
“I really cannot say enough good things about Candy! My dogs had a vacation of their own staying with her! And she always sent photos daily of them doing fun outdoor activities without me even having to ask. She was the best sitter I’ve seen so far and it is definitely worth the drive out to her place!”

“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
About: I am experienced with training and caring for dogs, and have experience watching and caring for cats, rabbits, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and various birds. I work from home and am looking to start professionally grooming as well. I have a poodle at home, and have experience grooming poodles, Pomeranians, schnauzers, doodles, and cats. I have a fenced yard, kennel dogs at night, and keep all food in sealed containers. I’m also capable of administering medication. I have been taking care of animals for over 25 years, and I love making them feel at home and loved. I am comfortable with all animals- please feel free to reach out if you have something other than a dog or cat!
“Awesome Sitter she knows my dogs are well loved and she extended. Herself and her beautiful girls to them . My rescue has anxiety and trust issues but still she rose above it . I am so grateful . She knows how to handle the fur babies ! ❤️🙏💪”
About: I have loved dogs all my life. I’ve not been without one for as long as I can remember. It brings me joy to see happy animals of all kinds. I have even befriended the ducks that live along the bayou of my home, to the point where they eat out of my hand. Rest assured that my love for animals will bring you comfort knowing that your pet will feel as loved with me as if you were right there with them. I currently work full-time, which is why I can only keep dogs on the weekends. However, I work just one block from my home so I get to check on my dog everyday at lunch. It’s my favorite part of my work day! Therefore, I can accommodate your pet during a weekday but that would mean your dog may have to stay in a kennel for up to four hours at a time until I can come home for lunch. I get off at noon on Fridays and off weekends so weekends are when I can spend time with your dogs. Dogs in our home can come in and out as they please because we have a doggy door. We have a fenced in yard where dogs can go to the bathroom or sunbath in the back anytime they want. They can also sleep on the couch because we have covers over the furniture. Anytime that we cannot have eyes on them for a period of time the dogs will be separated by a barrier or kenneled.
