“As always!!!!! Theyve kept my baby on every vacation even when she needed her meds!!!! Upon arrival she leaps out of the car without even telling my bye in excitement lol. And when I pick her up she’s always safe and sound ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Can’t say enough great things about this family and how they cared for Sugar & Spice! This was my first time leaving them with someone new, and I was definitely hesitant—but their warmth and genuine love for animals put me at ease right away. They keep my babies for a week and kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again. Triple A rating: Awesome, Amazing, and Approachable! Highly recommend!”
“AMAZING PET SITTER!! She always sends pictures and videos, is funny, and easy to communicate with. I trust her a lot with my grumpy and silly old man dog. She took fantastic care of him and I recommend her. Will definitely be using her again!”
“As a repeat customer, I completely feel comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. She keeps me informed about every single detail while I'm away and sends a cute detailed "report card" every evening. Thank you, Monica! I truly appreciate you.”
“Lisa is wonderful! She took care of my Bandit to my satisfaction. Lisa sent several pictures and gave plenty of updates. I definitely recommend Lisa and will reach out to her again next time I need a sitter for Bandit.”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Lee & Taz were absolutely amazing. I received photos and videos of my furbaby, Blue almost daily. Blue enjoyed their pets as well. I highly recommend them. It was a great experience and I wil be a returning client!”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Mady was great. Thank you for letting me drop Honey off early in the morning, and staying up close to midnight so that I could pick her up. You listened well to Honey’s needs, and I can tell she enjoyed herself in your big backyard. Would definitely use again.”
“April is a great dog sitter! This was a mutual first experience for both of us and she made my dog feel more than comfortable in her home! April spends a lot of time with the dog and made sure that she got multiple walks a day. She also kept me updated with how things were going and sent multiple pics throughout the day so I could see how my baby was doing. Every single picture my dog had her mouth wide open with a big smile! She eased all of my anxiety about leaving my dog with a stranger and I caught myself not worrying about my pup for the couple days I was out of town. This was a great relief and I’m thankful April was able to do a great job with her! My dog is very particular when it comes to trusting people but it looks like my baby has made a new friend and I can’t wait to book with April again!!”
“Carlton took great care of Zelda! I’d recommend his services to anyone with a dog. Zelda didn’t have many special requests, but the few she did have, he met them with no issue and went out his way to purchase treats for her!”
“Another great stay! This time much longer! Toni was absolutely amazing with my fur baby, Sunny. The communication and pictures sent throughout his stay gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I would rebook again and again without a doubt.”
“Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. he forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. if available, i plan to book Branden again in the future...”
“This was our first time boarding Black with a sitter, and Crystal provided a great experience for Black and for us. When we dropped him off, he didn’t even look back as she ushered him inside which told us he was comfortable with Crystal from the very beginning. When we picked Black up, he was excited to see us AND sad for his weekend with Crystal to come to an end. Black had a couple of behavioral issues during his stay and Crystal was very attentive taking great care of his needs and keeping us updated with great photos and detailed reports. We highly recommend Crystal.”
“I was greeted friendly when onyx and I arrived! She showed us around and he was very happy with the new environment! Also she sent daily reports and pictures!”
“Excellent boarder! They made our older dog feel welcome and right at home. Their dog was a perfect companion and friendly too. Would certainly use again and highly reccomend.”

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.
“Hey Bri thank you again! Sweetie was the cat that was outside last time you came. We decided to make her ours after her owners didn’t want her anymore. She was pregnant when you came the second time, most likely why she wasn’t interested in playing lol. But thank you again!”
“Nicole really cared for my cat. She did all I asked and more, was really good at communicating, reliable and gave me peace of mind. And my cat loves her! Highly recommend Nicole!”
About: I bring a lifelong, genuine love for animals paired with hands on experience. From dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, I’ve cared for them all with patience, attentiveness, and love. Growing up with animals shaped my natural instinct to understand their needs, personalities, and little quirks, and over the years I’ve continued that care by looking after pets for friends and family throughout my teens. Whether it’s keeping a routine, giving extra cuddles, or making sure even the smallest details are just right, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and comforting environment so both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I’m currently in college and taking online courses so I’m able to be home most of the day if necessary. I’ll be able to take them out and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I will follow any all instructions by the owner and follow their usual schedule to make sure the pet is comfortable at all times. I’ll make sure to keep the owner’s updated and send them pictures so they know they’re pet is well taken care of!
“Valerie was absolutely amazing!! She was really attentive and affectionate with my baby boy and she provided wonderful updates with pictures and videos. If you need someone to take care of your pet while you’re gone, she’s your girl! I give her 10 out of 5 stars!!! ⭐️ ✨🌟💫”
About: As a fellow cat lover with a sharp mind and a great sense of humor, I know that cats are some of the smartest, funniest creatures around. That’s why I provide more than just basic care—I’ll keep your clever kitty engaged and entertained, whether they’re showing off their playful antics or enjoying a quiet moment of purring. With me as their sitter, they’ll get the attention they deserve, with a bit of witty charm thrown in to match their personality. Rest assured, your smart, funny cat will be in great hands, getting the best care and lots of love while you’re away!
About: Since working in the veterinary industry, i’ve met so many nice people that trusts me. When they are looking for a sitter they ask me when they come in to being their animal for an appointment. I build relationships with my clients.
“I was anxious about leaving my shy cat at home for Christmas who I’d only adopted a month prior. When Naomi came by before my trip to meet Cloud, I felt pretty confident that it would be a good fit. Naomi has the kind of gentle personality that animals love. I came home to a happy, well-fed cat who had more social confidence than before! Naomi sent pictures, including a really cute one on Christmas morning. I’m so grateful she was available to take care of cloud during the busy holiday season. Would definitely hire her again!”
“I found Rita through the Rover App when I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. With my cats home alone I needed help— Rita has been wonderful - reliable, communicative through video chats, thorough with info on the cats. I’m lucky to have found her and I’ve already booked her for next week. Her daily attention to the cats allows me to relax and recover. Thanks Rita and Rover!”
“Ashely was great! Super responsive while planning visits and she left great updates each day while we were gone, sending pics and documenting care. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
“Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.”
“Karyn was very responsive and kept me updated with my Malibu! I definitely will be booking again. Karyn is super amazing and really cares about what she does!! Thank you Karyn!”
“Mary is AMAZING. My kitty is sweet but particular about who she hides from or greets. She LIVES Mary and greets her at the door just as she does us. I always know when I have to travel that Luna is in excellent hands. Mary treats her with such love.”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with 8+ years of hands-on experience. I currently have two dogs that I trained myself and I grew up with a small terrier mix so I’m very comfortable with both large and small breeds. I am active and I work full time remote. So I’m able to be around throughout the day to stay on top of routines and give consistent care. I am a remote full time so I’m home throughout the day and I’m able to maintain a routine for my dogs and any dogs u welcome into my home. My two dogs are very friendly and socialize with dogs of all sizes. They’re fully housetrained and have a calm, respectful temperament. They do not get on the furniture and follow routine very well. I live in a large walkable neighborhood with plenty of space for daily walks plus access to a dog park, where the dogs can play safely and freely. I keep my dogs up-to-date on vaccine, vet visits and flea tick prevention and I expect the same for any dog that I host - to ensure a safe clean environment for everyone.
“This was Zulu's 1st "Dog Sitting" experience (mine too) and everything was amazing...... From our first Meet&Greet with Chelsea , her children and dog Lola to the end of the week. I loved the daily reports and pics that she provided showing that Zulu had a great time playing with Lola. I appreciated Chelsea's flexibility to accommodate my early drop off request. The whole experience was awesome...... we're already booked for more fun time with Lola.”
About: I’m 100% work-from-home, so your dog is never left alone or unattended. I have a flexible, non-taxing job that allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day—from walks and playtime to cuddles and potty breaks. I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old to now 2 years old, so I’m experienced with puppy care, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I’m also patient and attentive, which makes me great with senior dogs or dogs that need a calm, loving environment. I truly love dogs and treat every one like my own. I pay close attention to their energy levels, comfort, and routines, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I already structure my day around my own dog’s routine, including morning walks, daytime play and enrichment, and evening wind-down time. Adding another dog is seamless, and I make sure each pet gets individual attention based on their needs, energy level, and schedule. Because I’m home all day, I can easily accommodate puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra supervision or frequent breaks. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor play and frequent potty breaks and multiple walking trails throughout the neighborhood. Regardless of the location pets are always supervised and never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick to their established routines. I provide reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions needed. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”
“Anthony was awesome and Bruno definitely enjoyed his stay. Anthony was very personable and made my wife and me instantly comfortable. Bruno made a couple of new friends with Anthony's dogs, and I could tell by the excitement and the tail wagging that he was enjoying his time there. As long as Anthony is available, we definitely plan on making this a long term situation.”
“Chris and Kelly are extremely sweet, understanding, loving and caring. If you choose them as a sitter your baby will be in safe/loving hands. I look forward to using their services again!”
About: I have cared and trained service dogs. Many family and friends have counted on me to care for their pets and know that I will always put them first. I work about 4 hours a day during the week (Wednesday and Friday) and I’m never gone for over 6 hours at a time while at work. Otherwise I am mostly home and only away for 1-2 hours for errands. Pets have entire first floor. My dogs usually hang out in the huge couch or in the office watching the birds (I set up feeders to entertain my bird dog and he loves it). On nice days I’ll leave the back door open for them to come in/out as they please. They have water both inside and outside the house. Dogs love sunbathing but here is also shade area all day in case they want to stay outside but out of the sun. Backyard is completely fenced.
“Thank you Branden for taking care of my boys. Both pups loved staying with Branden, especially Louie. That boy is not always quick to love on a human, but with Branden was different. He immediately liked him.”
About: I’m a lover of dogs who has been caring for and training dogs for 10 years. My experience came from dogs of my own along with dogs of friends and family members. In the past I have ventured into breeding and training. I currently have one dog name Princess who is on a raw food diet due to some digestive health issues. Princess is extremely calm and playful and loves a bunch of affective and her is daily as will your pup. My wife and daughter are very loving and go on family walks around our subdivision daily and can’t wait to include your pup into our routine. We are a extremely clean and tidy family so do not expect to get your pup back smelling bad or looking a mess. I currently work remotely so there is always time to go for walks during the day as it is necessary to get some sunshine and exercise for the pets and for me to get away from the computer screen. Please let me know what works best for you and what accommodations are needed for your pet and I will make sure it is taken care of. I have a comfortable home and an extremely friendly and playful dog name Princess. I have a nice size backyard in a great neighborhood to take walks in.

“I’m so thankful for Lisa. I needed a walker and she came in and helped beyond imaginable. She was very patience with my shy dog and took great care of her. I’m so thankful for her and I can’t wait to book her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Iyana, and I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around pets of all kinds. My family taught me how to properly care for animals and read their body language, which has helped me build calm, trusting relationships with them. I began pet sitting in high school while extended family traveled for vacations and work, and I’ve continued ever since. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with dog walking, daily visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication routines, litter care, and maintaining schedules. I also offer overnights, extended stays, and around-the-clock care when needed. I’m attentive, reliable, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your pet while you’re away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine.

I provide attentive, structured care in both my home and clients’ homes by following each pet’s routine closely. I ensure timely feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and a clean, safe environment while giving pets consistent attention and comfort.

About: I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my mini schnauzer, Kooper, for about 7 years, and through him I’ve gained daily experience with walking, playtime, care, and understanding dogs’ different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including my cousin’s Cane Corso. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy building trust and connections with every dog I meet. Since my whole family are dog lovers, being around and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine because I care for my dog, Kooper, every day. I make sure he’s walked, fed, bathed, played with, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Since caring for dogs is something I already do daily, I’m very comfortable keeping up with routines, giving pets lots of love and interaction, and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home environment. I closely follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, routines, and care needs. During walks, I keep dogs safely leashed and pay attention to their surroundings at all times. I also make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and companionship while in my care.
“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

“Alexandria is great! She is very communicative and she’s been great for both of my dogs. My dogs pull when they walk, so I figured she’d never want to walk them again after the first walk. Not only has she come back, but she’s also made suggestions to help with the issue. My dogs love her and her excited to see her for their daily walk.”

About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.
About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.

“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“AMAZING PET SITTER!! She always sends pictures and videos, is funny, and easy to communicate with. I trust her a lot with my grumpy and silly old man dog. She took fantastic care of him and I recommend her. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Lisa is wonderful! She took care of my Bandit to my satisfaction. Lisa sent several pictures and gave plenty of updates. I definitely recommend Lisa and will reach out to her again next time I need a sitter for Bandit.”
“Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Lee & Taz were absolutely amazing. I received photos and videos of my furbaby, Blue almost daily. Blue enjoyed their pets as well. I highly recommend them. It was a great experience and I wil be a returning client!”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Mady was great. Thank you for letting me drop Honey off early in the morning, and staying up close to midnight so that I could pick her up. You listened well to Honey’s needs, and I can tell she enjoyed herself in your big backyard. Would definitely use again.”
“My dog Deuce had his first stay with Shawonika and she took excellent care of him. She checked in every day, sent tons of photos, and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. he forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. if available, i plan to book Branden again in the future...”
“Drake and Cookie loved staying with Tom and his family. I am so appreciative of his communication regarding the pups, especially in light of a tough past Rover experience. Everyone was happy and healthy at pickup and Drake didn’t know who to give attention to most when leaving— always a good sign that he’s found a new bff. Thanks Tom!!”
“Uduak was great with Seven. I got lots of video, pictures and texts. It was also good that she has doodles herself so she understands the energy level that they have. I would definitely use her again.”

“?????Five stars for Lillian! Our pup Cupcake had a great stay with Lillian! She communicated well & was very responsive. She took lots of great photos and videos, and she was kind enough to drop off Cupcake at the end when our schedules didn’t align. I would definitely recommend letting Lillian dog sit your pup! Cupcake will be back Lillian so be prepared! Lol! ?”
“Jessica took such great care of our cats Leo & Luna. They were so happy and had so much fun exploring the play area. Jessica was great about sending us pictures with updates which made us feel better despite how much we missed them. We knew our fur babies were safe and in very capable & loving hands and we highly recommend Jessica to care for your pets.”
