“So happy to have found Sarah and her sweet family. Lincoln stays with ease and seems right at home in their environment. The backyard for Lincoln is an extra plus.”
“This was JoJo’s first boarding experience. He seemed to have had a great time playing with the other dogs. Kristen took the time to send messages and photos of JoJo enjoying himself while we were gone. We will definitely use Kristen again.”
“Terri and her husband were so SWEET to me and Ares. They have the best little farm for my dog to run around on. He had the best time staying with them and I would absolutely use her again. They are such kind people!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Kali was absolutely amazing! We have brought our dog to her twice now and she has had a blast every time! She is extremely flexible and takes amazing care of our dog! I could not recommend Kali more!”
“Richard was very communicative leading up to and during the visit. He has very sweet dogs and a nice fenced in backyard. My dog seemed to enjoy her time. I would definitely book with Richard again.”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Jeremy, Katie, and their sweet son made our Sunny feel right at home! We loveeeed getting all the pictures and videos sent to us of his stay with them! We actually looked forward to all the pictures and was such a pleasant bonus getting to see your fur baby getting well taken care of and could see them having a good time. We definitely will be using their boarding again for him!”
About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
“Courtney was great! She was super helpful in helping me book a last minute boarding. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, and David seemed to have a great time!”
“Kyle was a great pet sitter! She is super friendly, very responsive in communication, and provides steady updates on how things are going. Her dog, Louie, is a total sweetie and Raz obviously liked hanging out with him. Raz was happy and healthy when I picked him up, which is the whole point! I would definitely recommend Kyle and look forward to contacting her again.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She kept us updated on how our dog Theo was doing (first time away from us since he was a puppy) and even included photos with his status. She took him on dailey walks and treated him with kindness. Couldn't ask for a better sitter for our kid-puppy!”
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“We absolutely loved Fernanda, she was very accommodating to me and to the boys, and made sure I feel comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. She sent plenty of pictures and was kind and gentle with my kiddos. She is a caring and attentive, and that's exactly the kind of person you want to look after your kids. We will be using Fernanda's service from now on.”
“We couldn’t be happier to have found Alyssa and Bryan to love on our two doodle boys while we were away! From the moment they arrived, our pups were showered with so much care and affection. Daily hikes, endless ball throwing, and constant cuddles. Alyssa sent the best photo updates throughout their stay, which completely put us at ease and showed just how much fun our boys were having. When it was time to come home, our pups were actually sad to leave! The energy in their home and on their beautiful property is warm and welcoming, and Alyssa and Bryan are simply the most wonderful, loving people. We feel so lucky to have them to watch our boys!”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Jose and Maria always take excellent care of my little dog! I receive daily updates including pictures and videos. When I travel, I don’t worry about my little girl because she’s in wonderful hands! Thank you guys!”
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!

“Savannah was wonderful and took great care of our cat! Very responsive and sent plenty of pictures during each visit. Would recommend Savannah for anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“Shannon took the time and patience that our shy kitties needed. She was very communicative and shared more than average details after each check in. She also helped us out of an unexpected pickle and was able to fulfill duties, including medication administration, that were not part and f the original plan. We highly recommend Shannon for kitty-care!”
“10/10 recommend. Jen was phenomenal and little Junipurr took to her immediately (and that’s saying quite a bit). Jen was respectful of our space, communication was spot on. Best of all I felt ? comfortable knowing Junipurr was in Jens care. If you’re looking for a wonderful human to care for your fur family while you’re away- look no further!”
“David is a delight. This was the first time I ever left my cat. She is a touch customer - shy, finicky and on a special diet and medications, so definitely not an easy pet. I loved getting the photos and updates from David each day and especially the one where she is in his lap! He is an amazing carer and I highly recommend him!”
“Carolyn was such a delight as a sitter for black cat Prudence Not only was she very communicative with great updates as well as many pictures to keep us connected We felt as if she was almost a member of our family giving us great reporting on our cat”
“Claire was wonderful with Georgie! She took the time to meet us beforehand, and she and Georgie hit it off right awa, you could tell Claire genuinely loves getting to know the dogs she cares for. As a puppy, Georgie needs midday potty breaks and some playtime when I can't get home from the office, and Claire gave her a great visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing Georgie was in good hands. Highly recommend Claire for anyone needing reliable, caring midday check-ins. I will be using her in the future!”
“Benjamin was extremely kind and understanding when we had to cancel in the middle of the booking due to an emergency! We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
“Eliza did a great job caring for our cats while we were away. She is very accommodating and easy to work with. Communication was excellent and we received quick response to any questions we had. Would definitely use her again.”
“Benjamin is wonderful! Great communication and reliable. One of my cats is verrrrry shy and made himself known to Benjamin much sooner than he typically does, so I know they are very comfortable with him. I know my cats are in great hands when I am away!”
“James was a pleasure to work with! From a meet and greet before his first time sitting to check-ins with us at each visit, we loved having him taking care of our kitties. He was reliable, punctual, communicative, and we could tell he loved our babies as much as we do. Everything looked just as we left it when we returned and the cats hardly seemed to notice we were gone. Thank you, James!”
“Mersadi was a joy to work with and took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was away! Mersadi was very easy to communicate with, and sent me drop in notes and pictures every day. The peace of mind knowing my boys were taken care of while I was out of town is priceless!”
“Kathy was so nice and so helpful! She came to check on our cats over the holidays so we knew they’d be okay! She sent us some very cute pictures and she was very communicative about how the cats were doing. We’ll be booking her again in the future!”
“Sam was cat sitting during Hurricane Helene and went above and beyond for my cat. Knowing she was able to keep him fed made such a difference. Sam was incredibly responsive and worked hard to get my shy guy to open up. I will absolutely be rebooking. Thank you, Sam!”
“Joanna is such a phenomenal sitter! She provides excellent care while I’m away, with great updates and attentive service. HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Ariel is a consistent and reliable pet sitter who responds quickly to messages! I'm so very glad that she is taking care of Maggie for me while I'm away.....I know that Maggie is being well-cared for!”

“Thank uuu Jen!! She was just the best!!

Jen sent photos and messaged We hope to return and will contact Jen!! We highly recommend her!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”
“I'm so glad we found Nate!! He was so patient, easy going and communicated every step of the way. He didn't make us feel like our dogs were nuisances or an inconvenience like a previous sitter made us feel. I was so happy to see both my dogs having so much fun running around with Bilbo in the huge fenced in area. Bilbo is the sweetest dog ever! We're going to be repeat customers.”
“Gabriel was fantastic: on time, great attitude, super friendly, a real pro. Our pup Jack liked him immediately and he made Jack feel at ease, which is not easy to do because he is nervous when we leave him. So glad Gabe jumped in at the last minute to help us out while we were on a quick trip out of town. He came to our hotel room and stayed for a few hours while we were at a concert.”
About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard. That said, we always make sure one of us will be home when we have any pets staying with us. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.
“April is such an incredible sitter! Our puppy Benny had an absolute blast at daycare! Dewey the pug and him got along so well! We are so grateful to have them as our first pet sitters!”
“Kristin was wonderful! We reached out with a last-minute request as our pet sitter for a wedding fell through and she was extremely accommodating. Our dog, Trooper, had never been watched by anyone outside of family before so we were a little nervous but he was in great hands! We would highly recommend!”
“Miranda is fabulous - she takes great care of our pup Milo and he has a wonderful time at her home. We did a meet and greet first and Miranda answered all of our (helicopter pawrent) questions and made us feel at ease with him in her care. He gets to play with other pups in a safely enclosed backyard, gets lots of exercise & socialization with other daycare pups as well as human attention. Milo is now a regular at Miranda's!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school. That’s 20 years! I love taking care of pets so much. They help show us unconditional love and remind us of the lighter aspects of life. When I visit your pet they become my best friend. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I’m very present with them and give them loads of attention and affection. I am great with sticking to any training or routines you may have for your pets. I’m very flexible with the needs of each pet. I live a very active lifestyle so long walks are a plus. I love being outside in nature with pets. I have a lot of experience also working with senior pets and the extra care they may need. Some of my favorite pet clients are the ones that seem hesitant at first but then come out of their shells. Don't worry while your away your pets are in good hands. I’ll make your pet feel safe, taken care of and have fun while you are not there. 🌟❤️ I am a freelance artist that works online so I have plenty of time to stay with your pets during the day for overnights visits. I always make an effort to be by your pet while staying with them. I focus on their needs and give them loads of love and attention whenever I get a chance.
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with my pup, Biggie! She took care of him while my family and I went to the Biltmore and out to dinner, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She sent so many pictures and videos throughout the time he was with her, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She was incredibly accommodating, and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had the best time! Biggie went straight to sleep when we got home, which tells me he was happy, loved, and well played with. Alyssa and her family treated Biggie like one of their own, and it truly meant so much to me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again whenever we visit!!”
“Caroline was so gracious to host Vito in her home! We were able to explore Asheville worry free knowing Vito was safe in her care. Caroline took Vito for walks & even sent a midday text & photo to assure us Vito was happy. I highly recommend Caroline to take care of your dog while visiting Asheville!”
“Jackie was the perfect match for watching our mini Aussie while we explored the Biltmore. We chose Jackie due to no other pets / no children and she lives close to Biltmore. Her experience working with dogs was important also. Ivey has separation anxiety and Jackie’s calming voice helped her acclimate. Plus the wonderful view and deck was added plus for Ivey’s entertainment. Jackie is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend her!!!”
“Richard and his family (including dogs!) were very welcoming and accommodating. They have a great fenced yard for dogs and really seem to care about my dog's well-being in their care. They sent photos, including a great shot of Arlo with the Biltmore House in the background! A very special souvenir.”
About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have community activities out but they do not dominate my day. I spend my time focused on creativity (working on art and music projects) at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am very active and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, I am here most of the time. My husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). If boarding in my home, I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I got into pet grooming at an early age and have worked and managed in a few different salons around Asheville, NC. I have extensive knowledge of animals such as keeping things sanitary and following strict schedules, diets and plans to fit the animals needs. I am currently available any day and am only accepting drop in visits and bathing at this time. I am new to Rover so I am looking for my first bookings. I can provide references of animals I have cared for previously. I can stick to a strict diet plan and bathe if needed. I will keep your home tidy during the visits and follow any instructions that are left with me.
About: I have had a love for animals my whole life and been watching animals since I was 15. I know CPR and first aid for humans along with animals. I also have experience working at rescue shelters and humane societies. Spending time with your animals gives me the ability to de-strees while I can't have animals of my own, because of wanting to travel. I love animals like they are my own kids (if I had any) I give the best to them and think of their needs before even mine. I love their kisses and happy faces! I love finding their favorite places that they love scratches! I often times can be found even cussing on the floor with pets 😂Most of all I will shower your animals with kisses, walks and love! I am currently working part time and I have a flexible schedule making it easy for me to stop by randomly or stay long term as well as to not rush and spend quality time with your pets! When in my clients homes, I treat their animals and homes with respect and always leave them just as I found them. I respect what the client has as their animals schedule whether it’s cuddles, crate training, walks and feeding schedule.
“What a nice experience. They were very welcoming to Charlie. They sent me a couple of great pictures during the night of him enjoying himself. I would 100% use them again. What a great experience for Charlie and myself.”

About: I’m a registered nurse with experience in behavioral health, and I have both a puppy and a senior dog at home. I understand the patience, structure, and attentiveness pets need at every stage of life. I prioritize safety, routine, and lots of love so your pet feels comfortable and cared for I work three 12-hour shifts as a nurse, so my schedule varies each week. Because of that flexibility, I’m a great option for last-minute bookings, random one-offs, or when your regular walker isn’t available. I offer dependable drop-ins and walks focused on meals, potty breaks, and quality attention. I only provide walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to focus fully on your pet in their own home environment. As a nurse, I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific feeding, medication, or behavior instructions. Your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my priority.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I understand that each one has different needs, whether that’s lots of playtime, structured walks, or just calm companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or closer attention. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners and simple commands, and I always stay consistent with routines to help dogs feel secure and well-behaved. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if something seems off. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time and attend school, but I have plenty of breaks between classes and free time after school, so I’m able to give your pet lots of attention throughout the week. I’d love to care for your pet during those times and keep them company. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and feedings, and I can also stay at your home if needed. At the moment, I’m not able to host pets in my own space, but I’m happy to provide care in a way that’s most comfortable for you and your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, or any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and tidy, and I pay attention to any changes in behavior to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. If needed, I can provide updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, but I’m very flexible with drop-in visits, walks, and in-home stays to meet your pet’s needs.
“Zia loved walking with Natasha. She definitely has a special way with animals, it was a pleasure to see her when she came for his walk. She always greeted him with delight & excitement. Natasha was conscientious about the heat & kept him cool which I really appreciated. I felt very good having him with her, it was a great week. Thank you Natasha!”
“We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!”
“Rosko loves walking with Chelsea! He's happy when she arrives, and gets all the sniffs he needs. She's walked him quite a few times, and she's very responsive and reliable.”
“We cannot recommend Minori enough! She has been absolutely outstanding and so patient with our pup. He has been shy and avoidant despite her taking the time to come over and meet him with us. Despite him hiding and growling, she has taken her time every time for him to warm up to her. I’m certain he looks forward to seeing her mid day now and we have full faith she will keep him safe and have fun while we’re not home!”

“John D is awesome and Ruby loves him! He has made such a difference in her! If you are on the fence about dog walking, it’s so worth it! I highly recommend John. He is also teaching her better manners on the leash. We couldn’t be happier with him and his great care of Ruby!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of our little fur friend! Pics were great and update was thorough. And all at the last minute! Highly recommend if looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter! Will definitely be using her services again. Many thanks Ashley!”
About: My husband and I have spent our time volunteering with animal rescues for years. Our rescue pup Sal is our everything. That said, we know how hard it is to find safe and loving homes for your pets while your away. We have used Rover ourselves for this same need which is how we got to thinking of giving back! We want to provide reassuring, loving care for your pet while you are away. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your pet. I am available for hikes with your dog (if permitted), long walks, or just lots of cuddles. Due to lease restrictions, we do not offer boarding in our home at this time. We are more then happy to visit your dog or cat locally!

“So happy to have found Sarah and her sweet family. Lincoln stays with ease and seems right at home in their environment. The backyard for Lincoln is an extra plus.”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Kali was absolutely amazing! We have brought our dog to her twice now and she has had a blast every time! She is extremely flexible and takes amazing care of our dog! I could not recommend Kali more!”
“I highly recommend Caroline! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Caroline kept us updated throughout our time away, sending us regular photos and messages about our furbabies. This not only eased our minds but also showed us how much they were enjoying their time together. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Caroline. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Jeremy, Katie, and their sweet son made our Sunny feel right at home! We loveeeed getting all the pictures and videos sent to us of his stay with them! We actually looked forward to all the pictures and was such a pleasant bonus getting to see your fur baby getting well taken care of and could see them having a good time. We definitely will be using their boarding again for him!”
About: ✨Experienced, loving care & peace of mind✨ I’ve been around and cared for dogs for most of my life, including raising three puppies of my own from the puppy stage up. I have hands-on experience with crate training, potty training, basic commands, leash skills, routines, enrichment, and navigating all of the wonderfully chaotic stages of puppyhood! I currently have a 10-month-old chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with energetic young dogs and the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention they need. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for friends and family and have spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, body language, training, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their people are away. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, snuggle on the couch, or follow me around the house all day, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. 🐶💛 I work part-time, and between my schedule and my husband’s, someone is almost always home! Our schedules complement each other really well, which means your pup gets plenty of company, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and enrichment throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. We already structure our days around our own young Lab, so having dogs as part of our daily rhythm comes very naturally to us. On our days off, we love spending time outside, taking walks, exploring local trails, or just having a cozy day at home. No matter what, your pup gets to be part of the family while they’re here. 🐾 Our home is a relaxed, dog-loving environment where we want your pup to feel like part of the family. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in a safe, very walkable neighborhood with a large yard. While our yard is not currently fenced, dogs are always supervised and leashed outdoors, and I’m very comfortable with leash walking and safely managing dogs outside. We have a young, friendly Lab who loves other dogs and four dog-savvy cats who are accustomed to sharing their home with a pup. Our home is also thoroughly puppy and toddler-proofed, and everyone in our household understands the importance of respecting a dog’s space, body language, boundaries, and individual personality. I’m big on maintaining consistency between your home and ours. If your dog is crate trained or currently learning we’re happy to continue their normal routine. The same goes for potty training, basic commands, feeding schedules, special diets, and any house rules you’re working on. Dogs can be fed separately to ensure everyone eats their own food, and we have an extra crate available or are happy to use your dog’s own crate if that makes them more comfortable. I love providing enrichment beyond simply letting dogs hang out! Depending on your pup, that might include sniff walks, Kongs, lick mats, snuffle mats, sprinkler or kiddie-pool play in the yard, fetch, or supervised creek adventures. With your permission, well-suited pups can also join us for dog-friendly walking trails or an occasional brewery outing. If your dog is happiest staying close to home, we’re just as happy to keep their world quiet and familiar.
“Kyle was a great pet sitter! She is super friendly, very responsive in communication, and provides steady updates on how things are going. Her dog, Louie, is a total sweetie and Raz obviously liked hanging out with him. Raz was happy and healthy when I picked him up, which is the whole point! I would definitely recommend Kyle and look forward to contacting her again.”
“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“We absolutely loved Fernanda, she was very accommodating to me and to the boys, and made sure I feel comfortable leaving them with her for the first time. She sent plenty of pictures and was kind and gentle with my kiddos. She is a caring and attentive, and that's exactly the kind of person you want to look after your kids. We will be using Fernanda's service from now on.”
“We couldn’t be happier to have found Alyssa and Bryan to love on our two doodle boys while we were away! From the moment they arrived, our pups were showered with so much care and affection. Daily hikes, endless ball throwing, and constant cuddles. Alyssa sent the best photo updates throughout their stay, which completely put us at ease and showed just how much fun our boys were having. When it was time to come home, our pups were actually sad to leave! The energy in their home and on their beautiful property is warm and welcoming, and Alyssa and Bryan are simply the most wonderful, loving people. We feel so lucky to have them to watch our boys!”
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!
“Solin could not have been placed better than Jennie and Craig. A warm, welcoming, and wonderful environment for our girl. Excellent in every facet of care and communication to keep us informed about our pup during her stay. Jennie and Craig are our first choice for future needs.”
“Nellie had a great time. Brody was kind and Nellie enjoyed her stay. He sent me video’s showing me how Nellie was doing. She loved running and playing with the other dogs. I loved the fact she was not in a crate. I hope to continue using Brody for other occasions.”
“Cindy was great! She was very caring and present with my dog throughout the stay, sent me updates with photos, and I really felt confident my pup was in good hands. Can't recommend enough”
“Ethan and Hope were very accommodating and flexible when family emergency required extending our stay by several days. You can see how much they love their furry guests and it was evident Kinook enjoyed his stay.”
About: I am a seasoned veterinary technician that would love to take care of your beloved family member. As a veterinary professional I have the skills to not only love your pet, medicate, walk, groom, nail trim, and other services I provide but also know the first signs of distress or sickness in emergency situations. I want my clients to feel fully confident about who they are entrusting their pets with and feel worrieless when the sitter is over. I work part time, and im currently in a sonography program which I do all online so i stay home a lot doing homework and studying so if I’m pet sitting at your home i will for sure be with your pet I make sure that I know all the emergency contact information as well and any known health issues prior to booking . I mostly book pet sitting at other clients homes and make sure I am familiar with the area.
“Jackson and Nichole were wonderful when caring for our boys! They were open, kind, flexible, and understanding. We were in a pinch, and they worked with us. When Luka was acting out of character, they worked with him and us, knowing he is a puppy. Their sweet dog, Indie, was a great playmate for the boys, and I am sure they miss her. We highly recommend them!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Lizzie! She took wonderful care of our sweet old pup and kept us updated with excellent communication throughout. She was also incredibly accommodating when it came to our pickup time. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking with her again!”
