“Justin and Stephanie were great and my dog returned happy. The daily photo and video updates were greatly appreciated and left me without worrying while we were away. I will definitely leave my pet with them next time.”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“My puppy stayed with Sharon for 3 days and I’m so lucky to have found her. I live 40 minutes away but she’s worth it. Her dog, Belle, is such a sweetie. The place is clean and the backyard as well. My dog is a little bit mischievous but Sharon handled him very well and he was very happy there. I highly recommend Sharon for everyone who wants to board their dogs, she loves dogs and will go extra miles to take of your dog. You will have no worries leaving your dogs with her.”
“Karen kept my 2 English Bulldogs and a 10 y/o Boston Terrier for a long weekend and they came home healthy and happy. Her attention to detail (food, wrinkle cream and brachycephalic considerations for heat exposure) along with the ease of drop off and pickup will make her a top choice for future boarding.”
“Candice is an awesome person! She gave my fur buddy so much attention and care that I was concerned that he might have wanted to stay with her instead of coming home with us. She continuously sent us updates and photos. We could see he was enjoying his stay with her. Seeing how happy he looked made our vacation more enjoyable not having to worry about how he was doing. Thank you so very much Candice. Looking forward to our next trip and Kekoa’s next stay. Be sure to book early so she has room for your pet!!!”
“Barbra is a wonderful pet sitter. She's always kind and understanding, always happy to accommodate our schedule and takes excellent care of Charlie! He needs a bit of reassurance and she makes him feel loved and safe when we're away!”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.”
“We absolutely love Geosselyn! She took care of our cat over our Hawaii vacaction for about a week, gave him all his meds without trouble, and gave him his own little room and are and tower to play on. She also had cameras on him which was nice, and took pictures that she sent to us to relive our stress! Couldn’t be any happier honestly”
“Absolutely fantastic! They took great care of Dofus. Alexandra texted me updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my time without worrying about him. Thank you. Highly recommend!”
“Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody else’s I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time. I’m currently a stay at home mom so if I leave the house, I only leave to go to the grocery store or to grab the little one something to eat if they want it I have a huge backyard my house backs up against the woods. We are not close to the road at all. You’re dog would never be let outside alone my kids would run around in the backyard with them 💕
“Yvonne and her husband granted me an amazing experience of boarding my dog (Freda). It all began with a last minute trip, which required me to board Freda within 48 hours. I sent Yvonne a request based on her location and availability for the days I required. This turned into a blessing. She replied almost immediately. She offered to host Freda as long as as our initial meeting between Freda and her own dog (Quincy) went well. When I first arrived Yvonne and her husband were so welcoming. We discussed our pets and introduced ourselves - it felt more than just business of boarding my dog. This experience was different. This experience was exceptional. They showed me around the area of their home where Freda would eat and sleep. They also showed me around their beautiful fenced in yard where she could run comfortably. They also stated they only host one pet at a time and never leave the dog unattended. This put a lot of my thoughts at ease. Throughout my trip Yvonne sent me pictures and provided me updates and once again worked well with my return schedule to pick up Freda. I will definitely be using Yvonne again if she’s available as she was a wonderful host to Freda and I. Thank you.”
“Claudia is a fantastic choice for your dog. Our dog,Esther, loved her visit and she got the best of care. Claudia set us updates and pictures. It was reassuring that Esther was in a very safe place. Claudia is a 5 star dog sitter.”
“We loved Jacob and Megan! Our dog Coco loved playing with their dog! We got updated messages and pictures each day, and Coco was very happy when we picked her up! We will totally be using Jacob and Megan for our pet sitting needs again!”
“We are new to the area and we’ve always had friends or family watch our pups. This was the first time we needed to use Rover. Nancy gave us a great first experience and I’m so glad we have someone we can trust to leave our pups with if we ever need to board again! She asked great questions to get to know our pups before us dropping them off and she kept us up to date everyday with plenty of pics and videos. Nancy was very responsive as well. We will certainly be reaching out to her for future needs. Thanks again Nancy!”
“Latoya took wonderful care of my Morkie, Cam, for two weeks while I was away. She sent photos and videos which gave me peace of mind. Cam looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Latoya patiently handled all of his little quirks. She made him feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Latoya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Enrica and her family were absolutely wonderful! We were a bit anxious about leaving our guy somewhere new over the holidays, but we couldn’t be more pleased. Enrica was extremely responsive to messages, sent regular updates and photos, and took great care of Gimli. When our return flight was delayed, she was very understanding about a late pick up. Thank you, Enrica!”
“Rita went above and beyond to take care of our pups over our wedding weekend - she even kindly transported them to the venue for us for a quick round of photos. They had a great time!! She sent regular updates and was overall a real pleasure to work with. We knew our pups were in great hands with Rita! Thank you so much!!!”

“Justin and Stephanie were very accommodating and flexible. They sent at least one picture or video each day. They made sure my kitties were comfortable and well taken care of. They also were kind enough to get the cats a cardboard house to play in! I will definitely rebook with them in the future, and I recommend for anyone else to book with them!”
“Christine took wonderful care of my 3 cats and she kept me informed about their daily activities. These were drop-in visits to my home for 16 days while I was on vacation. Would definitely use her again.”
“Maggie was awesome! She took the time to understand all of our instructions on the best ways to care for our pets, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions if she wasn’t sure about something. Excellent communication throughout the whole weekend with really good pictures! Maggie went above and beyond and I will definitely be working with her in the future!”
“Kelsie went above and beyond. In addition to following my instructions, showed up like clockwork, sent lots of photos, and when I returned home my cats were like "Oh, it's you." I couldn't have asked for more.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of different ages and needs since I was 10. That coupled with my experience working in a shelter setting has equipped me with the knowledge to meet the needs of many different types of cats.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently have one of my own! I am also a teacher, so I have plenty of experience providing a safe and caring environment! I am available Monday, Friday, or Saturday at anytime! On Sundays, I can be there anytime after 2. Wednesdays I can do anytime between 1:30 and 3:30 and Thursdays I can do anytime between 11 and 2! My own pup is spoiled! He has everything he could possibly want! He is honestly a couch potato, but we take him on walks and enjoy plenty of snuggles.
“Rebecca took terrific care of my three cats for over 6 weeks! She was dependable, caring, and communicated wonderfully. Will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Jenni L. She and her partner Matt work together, and for this visit, Matt stayed with our beloved cat for several days. I cannot say enough about how reassuring it was to hear from him and see the pictures and videos that he sent of our cat and of the two of them together. Clearly, she loved him and felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely hire them again!”
About: I have worked with many cats in a grooming and bathing environment, and I grew up with a cat named Portia, and have cat sit several times for friends since then. I’m completely happy taking care of cats and dogs at the same time; the more the merrier!
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
“Yvonne is a very good pet sitter. While I was away for a weekend I just needed drop in visits for my cat. Yvonne followed all instructions for feeding and other care for my cat. During my time away I had peace of mind knowing that my cat was being cared for. I loved how Yvonne updated me throughout her drop in visits which included pictures of my pet. I will certainly be a return client for Yvonne she is an excellent pet sitter!”

“We were very impressed with Geosselyn’s care of our dog! Her large fenced in backyard was perfect! Our dog seemed very comfortable with her! We highly recommend Geosselyn!”
“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!”
“Justin and Stephanie were amazing with Charlie. From the moment I met Justin I knew I had nothing to worry about! I received many pictures and plenty of updates even though he was only there for one day. Communication was excellent and thorough. I really appreciated how kind and considerate they were of my highly anxious sensitive pup and took great care to make him comfortable! Thanks again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.
“Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”
About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)
“Latoya cared for my Benny as if he was her own. She give him his medication and ensure it was taken at each meal. Latoya is very professional and reliable. Thank you for taking such great care of my furbaby. I highly recommend Latoya and I'm confident you will not be disappointed!!!!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.
About: As a dedicated and experienced dog sitter, I understand the importance of providing excellent care to furry family members. With a lifelong love for dogs and years of experience working with them, I have honed my skills in providing exceptional care for each dog I encounter. I pride myself on my ability to create a safe and nurturing environment for dogs, where they can feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. I am patient, kind, and attentive, and I always make sure to provide plenty of playtime and exercise, as well as plenty of cuddles and affection. One of the things that sets me apart as a dog sitter is my commitment to communication. I understand that pet owners want to know how their furry family members are doing, and I make sure to provide regular updates and photos throughout the duration of the stay. I also make myself available to answer any questions or concerns that may arise. Above all, I am passionate about dogs and the joy that they bring to our lives. When you book with me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will be in the best possible hands, and that they will receive the love and care that they deserve. So why not book with me today and give your dog the best possible care while you're away? Since I work from home, we have extra time to take multiple walks a day. We will go outside for at least 2 hours a day. I live next to a lake with a walk path so we enjoy playing outside as much as we can. I live in a house with a fenced yard for the doggies to roam around. Your pet will be let out every 2-3 hours or as much as needed and instructed.
About: I have had animals all of my life. Love Dogs, big and small, Cats finicky and cuddly. I have taken care of special needs animals and have managed medications as well as shots and measuring blood sugar. Currently I have two rescue Greyhounds and a Jack Russell Terrier, basically 2 couch potatoes and a WonderDog who never stops chasing a stick. Last but not least I have Sage, a 15-year-old grey tabby who looks really good for her age and puts the Pups in their place. In any event I am looking forward to meeting your pets in the near future. ~Regards, Kelli I am currently semi-retired and have all of the time in the world. In other words my schedule is quite flexible, so I am able to work around yours. Although I do not offer pet sitting in my home, I am able to accommodate any needs or schedule for your pets in your home. I am also able to transport your pets in my SUV for Park, Veterinary visits etc..
“Claudia is great with my little fur baby! She spends extra time with him and is very gentle with him. I can tell that he enjoys her company. I can tell that she is well educated when it comes to dealing with animals and has even taken the time to teach me some tricks and tips as I am a first time dog owner with crazy long hours at work. I will definitely be using her services frequently.”
About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.
“Christie, was very kind to have accepted a last minute request to Daycare Pauley. She was very professional and good at handling Pauley. He was very happy with her and her dog was also very friendly with Pauley. definetly recommend her for dog sitting/ day care and or Boarding with her.”
About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and require a lot of patience and attention. I have over five years of experience within dog sitting and in my care, they will be loved, respected, and given the enrichment they properly deserve! I'm currently working part-time with plenty of availability during the week! My flexibility allows me to properly care for all the needs of your pet! At my apartment we have a trail that is great for walking pets and in close proximity within my complex. It's perfect for walking your pet(s) and a great place to decompress! If you have any questions or concerns I am here to accommodate for you and your furbaby!

“Nancy was fabulous with our dog! She was dependable and respectful. Our dog enjoyed her time with Nancy so much that she was upset when she left. I would gladly book her services again!”
“Marlee was so caring for my two dogs! She was more than helpful taking my dogs for walks and playing with them. She's super friendly and you can totally see right when you meet her, that she 100% cares about your pet.”
About: I am a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Veterinary Medicine! Through my education, I have developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, welfare, health, nutrition, and safe handling practices. I have hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings, caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background has taught me that while animals may not be able to speak, they communicate in many ways through their body language, behaviors, and individual personalities. I believe that understanding these signals and recognizing how each pet communicates is an important part of providing safe, comfortable, and compassionate care. As a pet parent myself to my 2-year-old cat, Theo, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind while giving each pet the attention, patience, and care that they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your pet's needs and dedicate quality time to their care. I currently am only booking walks and check-ins which can include playtime, enrichment, feeding routines, and companionship. I am happy to work with owners to maintain the routines and habits their pets are comfortable with. While availability may vary, I welcome last-minute requests whenever possible, as I understand that life can be unpredictable and plans can change. Trust and safety are my top priorities at all times when caring for pets. My background in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and hands-on animal care has taught me the importance of proper handling, observing behavior, and promoting animal welfare. I understand that even the calmest animals are guided by instincts and may respond differently depending on their environment and comfort level. Approaching each pet with patience, respect, and awareness is essential to building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own pets. I am happy to follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication administration, exercise, enrichment, and any specific routines your pet follows. I welcome as much detail as you would like to provide, as understanding your pet's individual needs helps me provide the best possible care.
About: Hi, I’m Sophie! I attended a vocational trade school where I studied Animal Science for three years. I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of small and large animals, while learning proper handling and restraints, health and behavior, as well as how to safely administer oral and injectable medications. Through my training, I became certified in animal first aid and CPR. I also have experience caring for puppies/kittens, senior animals and pets with special needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent routines. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and also worked at a kennel in high school, so I have spent years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Because of that, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I give the best care and attention that I possibly can. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we are committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable care. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in the care of someone else, and our goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member! :) Hey! I’m Dylan and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a ton of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm and have always had multiple pets at a time, so I learned responsibility and animal care at a young age. I currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats of my own, and I love spending time with them—whether it’s going on runs with my dogs or cuddling up with my cats. I’m calm, patient, and always make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with love and respect. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working a full-time job Monday through Thursday, from 6am until anywhere between 3pm and 5pm, depending on the day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off, and occasionally Fridays. Sophie works 2pm to 10pm a few days a week, her schedule is different every week. Since our schedules are opposite and Sophie has a bit more free time, one of us is always available to spend a good amount of time with your pet. The first thing we do when taking care of our own pets, or others pets, is let them out to go to the bathroom. Next, we prioritize feeding and medicating (if necessary) and cleaning and refilling all water bowls. Once everything important is taken care of, we then spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, cuddling or going for a walk. Before we leave, we make sure we let them back outside for a good while to make sure they take care of all of their business.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, big and small! I’ve bathed, feed, played with, and let dogs outside! Cuddles are a must! I attend Western Kentucky University but am home for the summer. I currently work part time at Brusters Ice Cream! My schedule changes weekly however I don’t work everyday meaning there is plenty of time for stopping by throughout the day! I will update clients on schedule changes to fit their needs and make sure all pets are taken care of properly. Most shifts are at night so I can stop by for feedings and bathroom breaks before work and after! Care begins with attention. Following clients instructions as every dogs and cats needs are different. Proper safety, comfort, and routine is important! Whether backyards aren’t fenced in or animals are fed at a specific time clients instructions are always important to follow!
“Jenni had contacted me to let me know that she was on her way for our dogs’ walk. She took pics of them to show us that she was at our home with the dogs. I had told her about the route the dogs were use to taking and she showed us the map of the route. The dogs were good for her out on the walk. When they got home they were well tired enough and curled up for a nap. I look forward to having Jenni come walk them again!”
“I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+”
About: Hi everyone! My name's Shirl and I am hoping to make your life a bit easier by taking away the stress of leaving your pup behind while you're away. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years; I used to have dogs come board with me while owners went away, but I've found that most owners prefer their pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. I have years of experience doing overnight pet sitting, but unfortunately my growing family (3 dogs and a cat of my own) no longer allows for me to stay away from home overnight. I am happy to provide multiple daily visits and/or walks! My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you're away, by keeping their daily routine as close to "normal" as possible. I've cared for all types of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, quail, lizards, fish, etc.! I am an experienced dog handler/ animal lover at heart. I worked at/managed a doggie day care/boarding facility for 4 years, learning from a very experienced trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement techniques ONLY. During my time there, I had opportunities to complete trainings to understand dog behaviors and body language. I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker/foster, working primarily with bully breeds. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life. From playing with salamanders as a kid, to growing up with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes; I've also had bunnies, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, hamsters, birds...the list goes on! I couldn't imagine a life without animals in it. My experience administering medication Yes. Working at a dog boarding facility for nearly 2 years I have had to give many forms of medications, and my personal pets also take oral medications. I am not trained to give injections. My full time job allows me to work from home majority of the week. That makes it easy for me to swing by for a visit at different times of the day. The latest drop in I can provide is 7pm. I am happy to provide updates as soon as I arrive, during the stay, and as I leave. For dog walks, I prefer not to introduce any dog that I’m handling to another dog passing by. This ensures everyone’s safety.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently have one of my own! I am also a teacher, so I have plenty of experience providing a safe and caring environment! I am available Monday, Friday, or Saturday at anytime! On Sundays, I can be there anytime after 2. Wednesdays I can do anytime between 1:30 and 3:30 and Thursdays I can do anytime between 11 and 2! My own pup is spoiled! He has everything he could possibly want! He is honestly a couch potato, but we take him on walks and enjoy plenty of snuggles.
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.
About: Hi, I am Becky and I am a lifelong animal lover. I have always had pets in my home since birth. My husband shares my passion for animals and has served as a Vet Tech in the Army. As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.

“Justin and Stephanie were great and my dog returned happy. The daily photo and video updates were greatly appreciated and left me without worrying while we were away. I will definitely leave my pet with them next time.”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“My puppy stayed with Sharon for 3 days and I’m so lucky to have found her. I live 40 minutes away but she’s worth it. Her dog, Belle, is such a sweetie. The place is clean and the backyard as well. My dog is a little bit mischievous but Sharon handled him very well and he was very happy there. I highly recommend Sharon for everyone who wants to board their dogs, she loves dogs and will go extra miles to take of your dog. You will have no worries leaving your dogs with her.”
“Karen kept my 2 English Bulldogs and a 10 y/o Boston Terrier for a long weekend and they came home healthy and happy. Her attention to detail (food, wrinkle cream and brachycephalic considerations for heat exposure) along with the ease of drop off and pickup will make her a top choice for future boarding.”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“Absolutely fantastic! They took great care of Dofus. Alexandra texted me updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my time without worrying about him. Thank you. Highly recommend!”
“Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody else’s I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time.

“Yvonne and her husband granted me an amazing experience of boarding my dog (Freda). It all began with a last minute trip, which required me to board Freda within 48 hours. I sent Yvonne a request based on her location and availability for the days I required. This turned into a blessing. She replied almost immediately. She offered to host Freda as long as as our initial meeting between Freda and her own dog (Quincy) went well. When I first arrived Yvonne and her husband were so welcoming. We discussed our pets and introduced ourselves - it felt more than just business of boarding my dog. This experience was different. This experience was exceptional. They showed me around the area of their home where Freda would eat and sleep. They also showed me around their beautiful fenced in yard where she could run comfortably. They also stated they only host one pet at a time and never leave the dog unattended. This put a lot of my thoughts at ease. Throughout my trip Yvonne sent me pictures and provided me updates and once again worked well with my return schedule to pick up Freda. I will definitely be using Yvonne again if she’s available as she was a wonderful host to Freda and I. Thank you.”
“We loved Jacob and Megan! Our dog Coco loved playing with their dog! We got updated messages and pictures each day, and Coco was very happy when we picked her up! We will totally be using Jacob and Megan for our pet sitting needs again!”
“Enrica and her family were absolutely wonderful! We were a bit anxious about leaving our guy somewhere new over the holidays, but we couldn’t be more pleased. Enrica was extremely responsive to messages, sent regular updates and photos, and took great care of Gimli. When our return flight was delayed, she was very understanding about a late pick up. Thank you, Enrica!”
“Donna was wonderful! She accepted my dog on short notice, gave him wonderful care, and allowed me to extend his stay by a day. Bandit was a part of the family, and didn’t want to leave :) Definitely recommended!”
About: Ive had cats and dogs since a very young age I currently have 4 dogs and three cats. I have many years of experience and love them all! I am currently a student at University of Delaware and I thought maybe this job would work for my class schedule. I have a lot of free time outside of class. I have 3 cats, a boarder collie, australian shepherd, and a west highland terrier. They are all very good animals most of my animals live at home except for one of my cats that lives with me at school, but I’ve taken care of all these animals from almost all my life.
“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”
“Chyann, was an amazing sitter for my baby. Beanie stayed with her for a week and throughout the entire stay she kept me updated with pictures and insight into how he was doing. She’s one of the more informed sitters on this platform and following our meet-and-greet I was completely sold on choosing her as a sitter. With the updates, smooth transition for drop-off, and Chyann’s warm personality I was completely at ease and confident throughout the boarding process. I’d definitely recommend choosing Chyann!”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for Odie. She was very attentive to his specific needs and was more than capable of handling my 85lb Shepard mix. Odie was relaxed and happy while I was away even with his severe separation anxiety. 100% would recommend her as your next sitter!”
