“Ms. Holly addressed all my concerns and questions. She provided daily dog updates and photos, mostly noting when the dogs were taken outside. The dogs were allowed to roam a good bit and were in good spirits on pickup. I plan to engage Ms. Holly's services in future if available and would definitely recommend”
“Simply the best of rovers and I have been through four states. She is the best to take care of your dog. I had to move very quickly, and she took care of my dog and took care of my fears. If you do not reach out to her then you’re missing out. My dog Frank and I love her so much.”
“We are new to the area and have been so worried about finding a perfect sitter for our pups, especially because one has special needs. We are so very grateful to have found Miss Rita, the dogs loved staying with her, and we could tell that they were so happy and comfortable. Thank you so much!!! Pita and Squints love you!!”
“Ms. Amy was absolutely amazing with my fur baby, Fendi, while I was out of town. She kept me updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is incredibly kind, personable, and truly treats your pet like her own. We even discovered some fun connections from my hometown, which made the experience even more special. I would 100% trust Ms. Amy with Fendi again, and I’m sure he can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!”
“Bonnie is AMAZING!!! Our sweet boy was SO well taken care of!! He became a part of her family and I could tell she enjoyed keeping him! Don’t put your sweet animals in a cahe for the weekend-take them to Bonnie ❤️ where they can relax and play just like when they’re at home! She quickly replied when I asked how he was and sent us lots of pictures!! Choose Bonnie for your sitting needs! She goes above and beyond and you will be so pleased!!”
“Brittany and her family were truly one of a kind! Ace felt right at home with them and her son young son Everest! I think he and Ace would call eachother on FaceTime every night from here on out if Ace had thumbs 🐾 LOL! 10 out of 10 we’ll be back again!”
“We were honestly nervous about leaving our dog at boarding for several days, especially since our pup gets anxious away from home. This was our second time using Kanieshawa and Victor as a sitter, and once again they completely exceeded our expectations. They treated our Marley like family, kept us updated with messages/photos, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our baby was getting love, attention, and great care instead of just being stuck in a kennel. When we picked Marley up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can truly trust and will absolutely continue booking!”
“Kelly was so great with my dog Teddy! She sent lots of videos of him having fun with her dogs and playing fetch. My travel plans were upended at the end of his stay but she was able to work with me. Teddy was happy and exhausted by the end of his stay.”
“What a great experience!! Muffin absolutely loved Nikki! Nikki was very responsive and sent lots of pics. Muffin is a cuddle and snuggle kind of girl and Nikki gave her all the love snuggles she could handle. I will for sure be booking with Nikki again. I have already referred her to a couple friends back home. Definitely 5 out of 5 🐾”
“Nicky was a fantastic pet sitter. She did a great job taking care of my two pups. They had a bedroom to bunk in, and the photos Nicky sent showed them having a great time with Nicky's dogs. I will 100% consider boarding our dogs with her for future trips.”

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Above and beyond dog walker with a clear love of animals! Thank you so much for being flexible and helping me take care of my energetic puppy during this busy season of life.”
About: We have been dog caregivers for over 14 years and will treat your fur family just like one of our own (and she thinks she’s the High Queen!). We also offer house sitting services. We would love to care for your fur family in their own comfortable space or we can in our home. . I am a retired teacher and my husband is in the military. We have a son that’s 24 that lives at home and he is a huge dog lover. Our little Yorkie, Widget, has him wrapped around her finger. She’s an older dog and just likes to be close to you but does her own thing. She’s super laid back. I am home all the time unless it’s to run errands or an appointment here and there so my schedule is wide open. We offer house sitting services too. We have a large fenced in backyard and plenty of room to run and play. We have plenty of space in our home but will also come to your home so your fur family is comfortable in their own space.
About: Because of my loving concern that I have for my very own dog, it really makes me one of the perfect candidates. I love my 🐕 he's rotten to the core. I am currently working a very stressful schedule which does not allow me the time that I would seriously love to have to spend with more or to care for that of others. You have to pay serious attention to details and not take everything to seriously dogs are our companions. Treat me just a such, because they deserve it
