Personalized care for your dog or cat - Goodwood
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Goodwood
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.
“I cannot say enough good things about Keith. During one of the most stressful and uncertain periods of my life, he stepped up with kindness, patience, flexibility, and genuine care for my dog. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, exercised, and treated like family gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. He went above and beyond — not just doing the job, but truly helping me through a difficult situation. Reliable communication, compassionate care, and someone you can actually trust with your pet. My dog clearly adored him, and that tells me everything I need to know. If you are looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely good-hearted to watch your animals, I highly recommend him. Thank you again for everything you did for us.”
“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”
“Nicolette and her family loved on Sarah for the many days she stayed with them. Sent updates and pictures when I checked in and spoiled my girl! Will definitely use again!”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Absolutely love Janelle! She stepped in and helped us out even tho Theo wasn’t feeling too good and she helped make sure her got his medications on time and was eating well! Theo loves her and knows her home from the moment we pull in!:)”
“First time using Rover and I found the app easy to search for finding a sitter. I loved Angela C for taking such good care of my fur baby! She stayed in touch and sent pictures to me every few days! She was very consciencous about making sure he got all his meds. What a relief to know he was taken such good care of and joined her own dogs. THANKS ANGELA”
“Savannah is the best. She really takes great care of my dog. She’s everything to me. My dog’s always so happy when she comes home and that means a lot to me I couldn’t ask for a better sitter or someone to leave my dog with when I’m away, she is by far the best in my eyes”

We’ll continue to book Carly for our future vacations!”

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 10 years old - over 24 years of hands-on experience. From my own childhood pets to helping neighbors, friends, and family, I've walked, fed, bathed, and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments.I have trained old dogs to do new tricks. I treat every pet like my own, because to me, they are family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets real time and attention - not just check-ins between a packed day. I'm available for house sitting, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I would love to get out of the house for a couple hours each day, but also understand if you want me present 24/7. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet's own home. I'm experienced with crate routines, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and keeping anxious pets comfortable. Your pet's safety and peace of mind (and yours!) are my top priority.
“Katie was so wonderful!! She accepted my last minute request for a drop-in visit and made me feel so comfortable and secure that my pets were loved and taken care of. She sent great photos! I would absolutely use her again.”
About: As someone who has worked with a variety of domesticated felines, I’ve learned that the last thing a cat wants is a sitter. Lol. Most just want someone who can scoop their box and open their can of food. I’m a professional in that area. I’m also good at reading kitty behavioral cues. I can usually tell if a feline is going to be my friend or not. I know when to give them their space. I’ve watched kitties who are social and some that are shy. I’m pretty good with a laser and always enjoy playing with or sitting with a sweet cat or cats. I can also prepare special diets and give insulin shots. The Kitties always train me well!
“Alicia was great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and sent me plenty of pictures. She also took the time to meet beforehand so that we both felt comfortable, which I really appreciated. Alicia was kind and professional and I highly recommend her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Goodwood
“JC was great! Very organized and communicative. We loved getting all the updates throughout the day and had no doubt that our pet was being well cared for. Will definitely book again if we come to Baton Rouge again!”
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.
“My dog absolutely loved him. He was anxious the first day but Keith really helped him get comfortable and by the third day he was happily running inside, not sparing me a second glance. Would 100% have Keith watch my dog again.”
“Robin was wonderful! So responsive and communicative. I have never used a dog sitter before but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Robin in her home. She sent photo updates frequently and sent my puppy home with some goodies. We loved Robin!”

“I want to thank u so much jackpot has def learned good manners at your house he listens he is calmer just all around better behaved dog ! You're a blessing in so many ways ! 🐾💕”
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.
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.

I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog ! As I know it is important for your dog to feel safe and secure away from your home 💕 Since I do have a dog of my own , the necessities are apart of my everyday routine! I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!
About: I have so much experience being a pet owner and I have also been a dog sitter for many different people and family. I A have a passion for sitting pets and I would really love the opportunity to sit your.

About: ✨✨ Independently Insured & Licensed ✨✨ 20 Years of Professional & Experienced Pet Care and House Sitting Services Specializing in Senior, Special Needs, and Multi-Pet Care with a Background in Veterinary Clinic Care & Animal Rescue (Fear Free Certification In Progress!) 🐶🐱🐰🐷🐔🐢🐠🐍🦎🐹 My name is Anna, and although I’m new to the Rover platform, I have professional experience working in vet clinics, rescues, and shelters, and I have more than 20 years of pet sitting and house sitting experience! I’ve dedicated my life to animals and have cared for countless animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, chickens, fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, and other exotics! After college, I gained even more professional experience beginning as a Kennel Technician before becoming a Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Surgical Technician, and eventually the Clinic Manager. After I left private veterinary practice to pursue a career in animal rescue, I served as the Manager of a successful nonprofit dog rescue. In this role, I coordinated with shelters, fosters, and adopters all while caring for 30 dogs per day and serving the public in order to rehome over 500 dogs per year. As part of my daily duties, I also arranged their veterinary care and monitored their recovery and overall wellbeing. When my own senior dogs required more care and medical attention, I pivoted to remote work with an in-home veterinary hospice service. In this role, I received emergency assessment training for many species in order to help pet parents ascertain if their pet needed emergency medical assistance. This afforded me the opportunity to hone my instincts about what constitutes an emergency, what to do in an emergency, and, more importantly, how to prevent emergencies. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to pets and animal welfare. I am always seeking out opportunities for continuing education, such as attending the Humane Society’s annual animal welfare conference or completing an apprenticeship at Austin Pets Alive!, or binge-watching animal training tutorials. In my personal life, I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles and amphibians as pets ever since I was a child. As an adult, I was privileged to adopt a special needs dog named Fizzgig, who introduced me to the rewarding experience of caring for seniors. He changed my life and my heart forever, not to mention my career path. Since Fizz, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two other senior / special needs rescue dogs of my own, as well as fostering numerous seniors and special needs dogs. Though Fizzgig and my other senior have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I am still blessed with my 15 year old foster-fail, Sissy - the sweetest pitbull you’ll ever meet. She’s slowing down some, but she still loves her four walks a day, and she’s just a happy, playful, gentle goofball! I take pride in providing experienced, professional care, customized to your pet’s needs, and I always provide the same love and attention I’d want for my Sissy girl. You can trust that your pets will be well-cared for and well-loved with me, and I look forward to meeting y'all! SCHEDULE My day revolves around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I provide pet care full time, so my availability is flexible enough to keep your pet’s routine. In other words, your pets come first! I will administer medications on schedule, and if needed, I can also expertly coordinate care with others, including a groomer or veterinarian. I'm also comfortable monitoring animals in recovery. For vacation care, I generally prefer to schedule a minimum of three potty breaks a day not only to ensure your pet’s comfort, exercise, and stimulation, but also to preserve the dignity of your home. SERVICES Generally, I petsit by referral only to ensure I work with animal lovers whose pets are well-cared for, but a couple of my senior pet clients have crossed the rainbow bridge so I have a little more availability than usual and decided to make a Rover profile. Though my account is on the newer side, I have beaucoup references from current and former clients available upon request. I typically provide care in the client’s home to maintain routine and consistency for your pet(s), and I am currently offering drop-in visits and walks through the Rover platform. I provide boarding and doggy day care in my home and overnight care in the pet's home on a case by case basis, provided your pet gets along with my Sissy girl (you can find her bio on my profile) As Sissy and your pet’s safety is my top priority, our pets would need to meet first to ensure they are a good fit. If you require a service I'm not currently offering, please do not hesitate to reach out :)
About: Dog lover of 27 years. I'm a stay-at-home mother to 3 beautiful babies and 2 fur babies. I am a total dog enthusiast. I love all things dog and am always happy to meet and love up on new fur pups. SPOILER ALERT: All fur babies will be spoiled rotten and living their best life! I am flexible with my availability and make it easy for my clients to book with me. I always give the best possible experience that I can. I love to provide fur parents with a way to keep their fur babies healthy, active and happy while they are away. I have a fenced-in backyard and a fenced-in patio (for the pups that love to be outside and bask in the sun). My home has doggie gates in every room to keep your fur babies safe and playmates in order. I treat every dog as my own and love to see them happy and well cared for.
“Second time we used Lindley and our boy walked in and made himself at home. They treat him like family and we will definitely be using her again. Her and her sweet family takes such good care of our boy and we are so thankful!!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I am a dog-lover and mom, and will do whatever it takes to spend time with dogs and more dogs! I love going to the dog park to see dogs play and just simply be dogs. I have been a proud mom of an old Great Dane, and currently a 6-year old. I have also watched friends’ and family members’ dogs for a couple of days to up to a few weeks. I love having them around me. I will take wonderful care of your four, three, or even two legged animal, because all dogs deserve the best! I love walking, running, laughing and playing with dogs, so whatever your fur-baby needs, they shall have! I hope we have the opportunity to meet soon! I would love to help out you, and most importantly, your animal! I have a daytime, during the week job, but can fit in your animal’s needs around my schedule. Weekends are always wide open for me I make sure to update you with pictures during your pet’s stay, and have plenty of toys for your baby to play with. I make sure to keep doors closed and open them carefully, so they don’t escape
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Very nice and patient with my nervous puppy! Sent a cute picture while on their walk and told me about how it went. She also brought treats with her to reward him for pottying outside.”

“Caitlin is what happens if Dr. Doolittle has a baby with Artemis, goddess of the hunt and then Jane Goodall mentors that baby to be a kind, knowledgeable, badass animal caretaker.She handled my two monsters like a boss, playing with them a while before leash training my wild puppy while also letting my old man puppy take much needed walking breaks to roll around and sniff. She gave prompt updates and lots of pictures (which I LOVED) and I intend to use her for all my dog walking in the future.”
“Kaylee was so amazing! She was reliable, kind and so great with coming to walk our pup twice a day while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Will 100% be using Kaylee again in the future.”
About: i’ve grown up around very large dog breeds.

About: I am currently getting my PhD in Animal Science! Aside from study animals for a living, I have 5+ years of commercial care experience with small and large animals. Raised by a dog trainer and breeder for a mom, I grew up with many types of animals, including exotics like geckos and hamsters. I currently have two cats, Willow and Clover. I can’t wait to meet your pets! It is already a part of my daily routine to care for my own pets so I don’t mind a couple more! I work full time but my schedule is super flexible.

About: I have had numerous pets since I was little, from ducks to dogs I can do it all!

I am available to house sit during weekdays and weekends. I do work 9:30a-6pm M-F. I work from home! Some of my clients are okay with me working from their homes while I am pet sitting. I will make sure I ask that when I am getting to know you! (: ***Attention*** The rates I have posted on my Rover account differ from client to client. If you live more than a 4 mile radius from my home, I do have to increase the price for gas purposes. I always try my very best to accommodate families who are living on a budget. If you have any questions/concerns about this, please feel free to ask them. Also, as for safety, I do like to bring my mom along with me on the initial meet and greets and I’ll make sure I ask before doing so! I can come to your location or stay at your home whether it be 1 day or several! I always like to meet with clients before I stay at their home and meet your pets so that you can see how much I care about you and your pets and so you both can get to know me and be comfortable with the care you receive! Please inform me of all medications and what times they need to be administrated to your pet. Also, if they have any allergies or conditions I should be aware of (: I unfortunately can not offer my own home as a form of pet stay/care.
About: I enjoy walks and being outdoors as much as any dog. I also enjoy a slower pace and can provide care and companionship to your fur friend who might not be as active. Full-time student at LSU. My schedule allows flexibility to provide services that can meet your pet's needs. I share my affection evenly between all the fur friends and will love to meet yours! My services will be provided in clients home since mine is only pet-proofed for my little guy. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated so I know first hand the do's and don'ts of your home and how best to care for your fur friend!
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.
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 have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”

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.
“I cannot say enough good things about Keith. During one of the most stressful and uncertain periods of my life, he stepped up with kindness, patience, flexibility, and genuine care for my dog. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, exercised, and treated like family gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. He went above and beyond — not just doing the job, but truly helping me through a difficult situation. Reliable communication, compassionate care, and someone you can actually trust with your pet. My dog clearly adored him, and that tells me everything I need to know. If you are looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely good-hearted to watch your animals, I highly recommend him. Thank you again for everything you did for us.”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Savannah is the best. She really takes great care of my dog. She’s everything to me. My dog’s always so happy when she comes home and that means a lot to me I couldn’t ask for a better sitter or someone to leave my dog with when I’m away, she is by far the best in my eyes”
“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.”
About: I've been taking care of animals since 12! from cats to goats! I've taken care of many different animals and love every animal as my own! I believe our animals are our children and deserve the utmost care! I am available Mon-Fri from sunrise till sunset! I am a college student, but am completely online, so I am very flexible with any schedules! I allow them space to get used to a new person and environment and provide a calm space where they can explore at their own pace. I will give them all the attention and care they need!
“Robin was wonderful with our girl. She clearly loves animals and took great care of Marley. She diligently sent us pictures and videos which allowed us to relax on our few days away.”
“Jennifer was great. She took amazing care of Sawyer, keeping me updated with pictures throughout his stay. Only recently have I needed to board my pups and this was by far the best experience I have had yet. While Sawyer was happy to see me, he had so much fun on his vacation with Mrs. Jennifer. He loved playing with all the other pups and was exhausted when he got back home. I'd give her 100 starts if I could. I've never felt so comfortable leaving him, he'd go back weekly if it was up to him. Highly recommended.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
“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.”
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
“Emery was amazing! Our older dog needed medication and some extra special care, and it was also our first time away from our younger puppy. She kept us updated throughout the stay, and we felt completely confident that both dogs were in great hands.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
