“Theresa took care of my pup Aspen for the first time this week. Prior to her caring for Aspen for 2 overnights we did a meet & greet which provided both of us with all the information we needed to feel comfortable having Aspen stay with her while I worked. Theresa was very communicative and responded quickly to texts as well as sent me pictures of Aspen. I feel like Aspen was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Theresa and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My 3rd time leaving Cloud with Felice. She is a anxiety dog, but each time she comes home, she is calmer. I have zero hesitation in either leaving Cloud there or in recommending this home to anyone.”
“Lingli was so kind and attentive to our dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures that made us at ease being away from our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town :)”
“Jasmine was great! My dog is scared of strangers, but she got comfortable with Jasmine quickly. She sent pictures of my dog everyday and was very communicative. I will definitely be booking again :)”
About: I believe what sets me apart is my combination of professional caregiving experience, extensive dog handling experience, and genuine love for animals. I currently have my own service dog and went through 2+ years of weekly training with her, along with 6+ months of obedience training with two other dogs. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m also a registered nurse currently taking a break from nursing to recharge, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes very naturally to me. I’m detail-oriented, patient, calm under pressure, and highly attentive to safety and routines — qualities that are especially helpful with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs with medical needs. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to give your babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve! But fair warning — they just might end up loving me too! ;D I understand that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can feel stressful, but you can rest assured they will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. For drop-in visits and walks, I will attend without my own dog present. However, for boarding or daycare services, my service dog, Copper, will be with me. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment, and pets staying with me will have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. They are also welcome on the furniture and will be treated like part of the family.
“This was my first time using rover and having someone other then family watch Simba.I was very nervous at first. However Priscilla was fantastic. From the moment I met her I felt like I knew her. She has such a beautiful spirit and is very nice. Simba loved her. She took pictures everyday and it made me know he was in goods. Her family and her are great and I will definitely be using her again.”
“Brittanie and Ryan were absolutely amazing! It’s hard to find people you can trust with your fur baby, but these two are serious dog people. They took Millie in as one of their own and provided her with love and me with multiple updates to put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Lorenzo took exceptional care of our dog during holidays. He was kind, professional, and communicative. He updated us frequently and also shared a lot of photos which made us feel good. Thank you for being so flexible and kind to our dog during holidays. We sincerely look forward to working with you again in the near future.”
“Esther & Yi took wonderful care of Holly during her first stay with them over a long holiday weekend. They sent frequent photo updates of her spending time with their dogs and even kept us updated on her potty schedule, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be boarding with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Took wonderful care of our mini-golden doodle when we went away on a family vacation. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! She lets them get exercise and cuddles, is responsive and sends pics of their day. We will definitely ask Susan to watch our beloved furry family member again!”
“Lakesha and Marshall were great! They: - were easy to work with and responsive to any questions I had; - had a really nice, big, fenced in backyard; and, - sent pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay. Would recommend”
“Lorna was great as usual. She sent photos and videos of our pup while we were away. Every time I see one come through I just get a huge smile seeing him happy and at ease. Definitely still recommend”
“Candela’s stay with Jessica was great! Jessica accepted a last minute request from us when our original sitter fell through. She was so accommodating and responsive. We got updates and pics. Canela seemed to have a good time!”
“We were in the middle of moving and Dexter had a great comfortable time at Taylor’s! We will become regulars in the near future. Thank you for watching my baby Taylor!”
“Roberto and his family were very welcoming to my puppy. Communication was excellent - he sent me updates and pictures during the stay. Pickup and dropoff times were flexible to meet my schedule. I would use Roberto again.”
“Jason was great he made both of my dogs feel super comfortable. Ella and Fitz looked like the had a blast hanging out with him. His communication was excellent and I loved receiving all the pictures.”
“They are the absolute best!! My dog has so much fun! They are so communicative! It may sound cheesy but I feel like they are my dogs extended family. I could not give a higher review. We are so blessed to have found them”

“Christina is great! Great communicator, provided many photos of my cats, and even brought in a couple packages that were outside. I recommend Christina and will book her in the future!”
“This was our second time having Richard stop in to check on our cat Sal, he consistently has done a wonderful job ensuring Sal was fed, cared for and the litter box was tended to. It can be tricky to find someone during the holidays and we’ve been grateful for his availability and what a great job he does. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Richard in the future.”

“Grace did an amazing job taking care of our cat Sylvester while we were away for a week. She did a great job providing his meds and allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry free. Sylvester seemed to love her. This is our second time with Grace and we couldn’t be happier.”

“As always, Keira took spectacular care of our cat, Max, while we were on vacation. She doesn’t hesitate to spend extra time with him, play with him, give him love, and put up with his quirks. Though we hate leaving him, we always feel better knowing she’s looking after him. Thank you again ❤️”
“Lingli helped me out with short notice and did a wonderful job. My cat is still shy around new people but she warmed up to Lingli in 2 days which is amazing. She really helped reduce the stress of my first time leaving the cat at home for a week.”
About: I have always been a dog lover so I will give your dog the love and affection as if they are my own. Currently I work at a Doggie Daycare and boarding so I have experience with all different types of dog breeds, I am able to distinguish behavioral pattern and provide the care that is needed. I aim to please owners by providing the upmost experience without any problems. I want to ensure the trust of every owner and dog to be able to build long lasting relations. I aim to give at least 3 walks per day to make sure there aren’t any accidents. I also plan on going to dog parks to give them their play time. I will make sure to give each dog treats for good behavior. I will provide daily belly rubs and cuddles that will benefit the both of us. My goal is to leave everyone satisfied with each experience so that we may continue to work together. I currently work full time at a Doggie daycare and boarding facility, which consists of being in a room with 20+ dogs, playing& cleaning up after every dog, also monitoring the behaviors or each dog and making sure there aren’t any altercations while in my care. My daily routine consists of taking dogs on walks before my shifts and taking them after my shifts, and while I am at work my sister often lets the dogs out for potty breaks. My first thing would be to make sure the dog is comfortable in my house, I will also make sure they are comfortable with my presence. I will try my best to make sure the dog makes no messes while I’m caring for them. I will always clean up after myself and the dog.
“Did a meet/greet with Sophia before her drop in visit with my pups and she was great! During the drop in visit she did all the things we asked as well as updating us during her time with my pups. So glad we found Sophia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Des, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Hello during our emergency. You did an excellent job with the fluid injections—you’re such a quick learner and incredibly patient. We truly appreciate all your help. We’ll definitely hire you again in the future as our pet sitter. You’ve done an outstanding job!”
“Jennifer took great care of our three kitties, and went above and beyond when it came to our senior diabetic cat having a litterbox issue. She provided us with photos and written updates for each visit. During our whole trip I never doubted that they were in good hands. We came back to happy, healthy cats!”
“Delaney was great. She took care of our little guy, was very conscientious and detail oriented. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will definitely use her again when the need arises.”
About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner, I’ve cared for pets from puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs. I have experience administering medications, accommodating special routines, and ensuring pets with medical conditions receive the attentive care they deserve. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to adapt to your pet care needs, including varying hours, weekends, holidays, and short-notice bookings. I am available any day of the week! As a pet owner, I understand that quality care goes beyond meeting basic needs. I strive to create a comfortable, engaging environment where pets feel secure, well cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time while you’re away.
“I was so worried about leaving my cat for a week for a necessary trip. I took her in as stray and I had never left her alone before. However, Angela is a "cat whisperer" and after a few day melted my little kitty's heart. Normally my cat will have absolutely nothing to do with strangers, hides, and may even hiss a little if a stranger tries to pet her. The videos I received let me relax and enjoy my trip without worrying that my cat was stressed out or panicked when I didn't come home. Angela was also very diligent in following directions for my fur baby as well and also watered plants so I didn't have to come home to brown plants!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Columbia
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.”

“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”

“Teddy had a fabulous time at Lynn's. We were visiting Columbia to attend our grandson's graduation and we needed someone to take care of him for the day. Teddy is used to having a lot of love and attention and we were a bit nervous about leaving him. However, Lynn made him feel very comfortable, provided a very dog-friendly environment, and sent us pictures throughout the day. He was not even very excited to see us when we came to pick him up. He said "hello" to us and then ran right back into Lynn's home. Highly recommend Lynn. You will have peace of mind knowing that your dog will be in excellent hands”
“Vanessa is great and is almost always available short notice, which we appreciate so much. We feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her, we can tell she’s well loved there. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us!”

About: I am a dog lover and have been caring for pets for the majority of my life. I have three dogs of my own; two 11-year-olds and one energetic, almost 2 year-old. Caring for dogs and all animals throughout my life has given me experience with both senior dog care and the exercise and attention younger dogs need. I am comfortable and confident in my dog-walking, feeding schedules, playtime, and basic grooming abilities. Most importantly, I always ensure the pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention-to-detail when it comes to pets, especially senior ones. I love playing with pets, and have fun engaging with high energy dogs. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I will treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care as I do with my own. I am currently a college student home for summer break working two part-time jobs. I work at Merriweather Post Pavilion, which has taught me strong customer service, communication, and time-management skills. My other position involves working with neurodivergent children, which has helped me further my skills of patience, responsibility, adaptability, and the importance of understanding individual's unique needs. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. My pet and work experiences have helped me become more dependable, organized, and attentive, which I carry with me to every pet I care for. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or companionship, I am committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their normal routine, so I make it a point to follow all care instructions closely, whether this is feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or any special needs. I always keep dogs securely leashed, pay attention to their surroundings, and make sure they have plenty of food, water, and attention. I also understand the importance of trust when entering someone's home. I am always respectful of client's property, keep doors and gates secure, and provide timely updates to owners so they feel confident in their pets safety and well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible hands.

About: I enjoy jogging and running, and I’d love to help your high energy dog get the exercise they need in a fun, healthy way. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m experienced with administering daily medication and caring for dogs with special needs, like vision loss and hip dysplasia. I’m very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks or runs—and I even trained my own husky to safely pull me on roller skates. I treat every dog like my own, with full attention, consistency, and lots of care. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I already look forward to getting outside after 5:30pm for walks or runs, so having a dog to join me just makes it even better. On weekends, I’m usually active and have more flexibility, which means I can spend extra time on longer walks, drop ins, and giving pets more attention. It doesn’t feel like something I have to squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. For walks and drop ins, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, not just the basics and out the door. I’m also mindful of keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away. Overall, my goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for, and for you to have total peace of mind.

About: I have experience caring for family pets and helping friends and neighbors with their dogs and cats while they're away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking dogs, providing companionship, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and properly giving medication when needed. While I do not currently own a dog, I have experience walking dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of providing them exercise, attention, and safe handling during walks. I have two cats of my own, which has given me firsthand experience understanding pet daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. Through these experiences, I ave learned the importance of patience and attentive care to ensure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from college and will be starting a new full-time position in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is a great fit for me. I enjoy being around animals and providing them with reliable care while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping the space clean, securing doors and gates, and treating their property with care. To provide peace of mind, I send regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed about how their pets are doing.
“I am so grateful to have Laurie as part of my dog's care team. She goes above and beyond with engaging him during and after walks, and her notes are so helpful. I can tell she isn't just going through the motions, but trying to understand him so she can bring the most benefit in their time together (it's clear she is very experienced). I feel lucky to have found someone I can trust, to add exercise and joy to his daily routine! I only wish I had found her earlier!”

“Theresa took care of my pup Aspen for the first time this week. Prior to her caring for Aspen for 2 overnights we did a meet & greet which provided both of us with all the information we needed to feel comfortable having Aspen stay with her while I worked. Theresa was very communicative and responded quickly to texts as well as sent me pictures of Aspen. I feel like Aspen was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Theresa and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jasmine was great! My dog is scared of strangers, but she got comfortable with Jasmine quickly. She sent pictures of my dog everyday and was very communicative. I will definitely be booking again :)”
About: I believe what sets me apart is my combination of professional caregiving experience, extensive dog handling experience, and genuine love for animals. I currently have my own service dog and went through 2+ years of weekly training with her, along with 6+ months of obedience training with two other dogs. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m also a registered nurse currently taking a break from nursing to recharge, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes very naturally to me. I’m detail-oriented, patient, calm under pressure, and highly attentive to safety and routines — qualities that are especially helpful with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs with medical needs. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to give your babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve! But fair warning — they just might end up loving me too! ;D I understand that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can feel stressful, but you can rest assured they will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. For drop-in visits and walks, I will attend without my own dog present. However, for boarding or daycare services, my service dog, Copper, will be with me. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment, and pets staying with me will have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. They are also welcome on the furniture and will be treated like part of the family.
“Esther & Yi took wonderful care of Holly during her first stay with them over a long holiday weekend. They sent frequent photo updates of her spending time with their dogs and even kept us updated on her potty schedule, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be boarding with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Lakesha and Marshall were great! They: - were easy to work with and responsive to any questions I had; - had a really nice, big, fenced in backyard; and, - sent pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay. Would recommend”
“Jason was great he made both of my dogs feel super comfortable. Ella and Fitz looked like the had a blast hanging out with him. His communication was excellent and I loved receiving all the pictures.”
“They are the absolute best!! My dog has so much fun! They are so communicative! It may sound cheesy but I feel like they are my dogs extended family. I could not give a higher review. We are so blessed to have found them”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nikki. She took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town. She was attentive, kept me updated and included photos, which gave me peace of mind. When I came back, my dog was happy, healthy and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Alonni’s love for animals shows through her kindness! She watched our dog Buddy (who can be a handful) during thanksgiving weekend and she did a great job!. She sent us lots of pictures and maintained constant communication with us, even sent Buddy home with a goodbye gift! Would recommend her 10/10!”
“From the beginning communication has been top tier. At drop off the warm we felt leaving our fur baby with Rodney put us at such great peace. With every update it left a smile on our faces. We have found what we so desperately needed. We will forever use them, and recommend them to others. I need 10 stars rather than 5 to adequately rate our experience. They have exceeded our expectations.”
“Elisha is kind and communicative, which makes working with her easy. This is so important when entrusting someone to care for a beloved pet. It is clear that she is a caring pet owner to her own dog and others in her care. We always feel confident leaving our dog with her. He gets so excited! She's greatest about sending lots of pictures, which we enjoy.”
“Fantastic communication and scheduling. Extremely nice, attentive to animals, and responsive. She even got some little treats for my pup. Took him to the park to play and took him on nice long walks. 10/10 highly recommend and I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Deivy and his family were so wonderful. Sent me lots of pictures and I know my little princess had a great time. I didn't worry about her at all which made the vacation more relaxing.”
“Karen and Patrick are the best! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with them and the pictures they sent showed that he was having a wonderful time. We will definitely use them again!”
“They took amazing care of Nika!! We received plenty of updates and pictures. He also went on frequent walks. We could tell he was having a blast, which is a big deal since Nika tends to be an extremely nervous dog. Would highly recommend booking with them 😁”
