Personalized care for your dog or cat - Atkinson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Atkinson
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“Our dogs’ 4th stay with Steven and family. They will always be our first choice! We continue to be amazed by them. They provide a great environment and I am sure our dogs absolutely love the attention from the children. They take excellent care and provide continuous photo updates throughout the stay. We feel very fortunate to have found Steven and family and are also grateful that they genuinely enjoy watching our dogs. We can tell that our dogs also enjoy them.”
“Diane and her family were AMAZING with Hank! They took great care of him. Diane sent daily updates and pictures, which is always nice when we're away from our dog. I highly recommend Diane and her family!”
“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”
“We are so thankful that we found such a great family to watch our fur baby. Kaylah was beyond professional sending us photos and keeping us updated throughout the stay. It warmed our hearts to pull up and see her son giving our baby belly rubs. We will 100% use Kaylah in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home for your pet. Thanks Kaylah!!!”
“Tasha has been great to work with. Our dog, Max, loves being with her and having fun with other dogs.. She has also been flexible on our pickup time when our flight was delayed. We have booked with Tasha before and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Took care of Marlowe last minute and we didn't worry shout her at all! She had friends to play with and a yard to run around in. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Sarah and her family were the best dog care I could ask for! Sarah was super communicative and so understanding when I had to extend Henry’s stay last minute. Highly highly recommend and Henry will definitely be returning!”
“Donna and Calvin are wonderful. I didn’t think there would be anywhere that we could leave our pup while we were away that I wouldn’t constantly be fretting over her. Well, Donna and Calvin proved me wrong. I can’t imagine that we could have found better care for our little dog. They are the best!”
“Angela took such great care of our littles while we were out of town. She gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in the best of hands sending so many pictures and updates throughout their stay with her & her family! Highly recommend.”
“Allie was so kind and amazing! Poppy loved her time at Allie’s house. She had so many friends to play with and had a blast! Allie is so gracious to send updates throughout her stay and pictures, which we loved! We will definitely be using Allie again for our boarding, and even day care!”
“My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!”
“Olivia took such good care of Bernard! She was very communicative and kept us updated with photos. She has a great fenced in yard… allows for dogs to be active!!! Would def recommend.”
“Our little Nero loved his stay and Valerie was amazing with him. We could tell he was treated with love just like if he was at home. We will definitely have him stay with her again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pups of all sizes for as long as I can remember! I have a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs, but love the energetic puppies too! I work full-time but I’m available everyday that I work after 3pm. The two days that I don’t work, I’m available all day, typically the weekends. I live in an apartment with a large porch and a great sized dog park that any pup would love. When we aren’t outside, my pup hangs out in the living room, but I’m more than happy to use the crate if you are more comfortable! If in-home with your pup, I’ll follow whatever instructions provided to make your pup happy!!
“Coco loved staying with Ben and his family for 6 days while we went away. She’s used to having a busy family around her and loves people, so the situation was perfect with their 3 sweet boys to play with her and give her love and attention. Such a nice family, great with dogs, and very trustworthy. Ben’s wife sent me pictures and updates on Coco and also got a tick off of her! I already knew she was in good hands, but felt even more reassured by the occasional communication. I’m so happy we didn’t have to board Coco and will definitely be requesting Ben’s services again!”
“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Cosette and her daughter took great care of Honey while I was away! Honey was a little nervous and had a hard time eating so she pulled out all the tricks to ensure she ate while we were gone!”

“Cassie did a great job of keeping us updated on our pets while we were away! She provided a thorough update on their moods, health, and appetites, and took the best pictures! She even took the time to meet them beforehand and ensured we felt comfortable with her. If something looked off in the house, she advised us of that as well.

You must bring your own dog/cat food.
“Kate taking care of our cat allowed us to actually enjoy our nearly weeklong trip. Our cat has some difficult health issues, a finicky diet, and loves attention.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Atkinson
“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
“Our 10 year old big dog was well cared for the day while we went out to eat and visited the art museum. Valerie is professional, friendly and knows dogs. She asked questions about our dog's specific needs. He enjoyed hanging out in the backyard to sniff around and took a nap inside their home just like he does at our home so I'm sure he felt quite comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“Jerry was absolutely amazing! My booking was pretty last minute because I was so scrambled that weekend, but Jerry was able to pull through and helped me so much! Bud looked like he had an absolute blast with Jerry and Bud got taken on so many new adventures which he looked like he absolutely loved. Jerry was even able to pick up Bud for me which saved me so much time that morning and gave him a bath for me before I went to go pick up Bud later that day! Jerry is literally so amazing and I will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Julia is the BEST!! She took amazing care of my pup, who needed meds regularly and to be watched closely from a recent surgery. I couldn’t have asked for better care and my baby comes home so incredibly happy!! Thank you Julia, you will be Romos home away from home forever!”
About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“2 day daycare stay: Katie was ABOVE and beyond not only caring for my crazy Millie girl (boxer/pitt) but also as a person. She was such a joy to talk to at drop off and pickup, and kept me up to-do-date with pictures and videos during Millie’s stay. I would hands down recommend her to anyone as well as use her again. If only she lived closer to Charlotte, all three of my dogs would be with her everyday! THANK YOU, Katie!!!”

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation.

About: I have over 16+ years of pet sitting experience. Ever since I was in middle school, I have been providing pet care services to neighbors, coworkers, etc. In fact, I was the designated pet sitter of my current work place where I would stay over at their homes while they were out of town. In addition, I have grown up with rescue dogs, and those who have behavioral issues. I am skilled with providing medicine to dogs as well. I do not have experience training puppies. I work from home fully with very little travel which would be set ahead of time not to disrupt the care of the dog, and can be flexible in terms of timings. Usually, I meet with the owner and dog beforehand. This ensures trust as I can get a way of the home, the dog can meet me, and show first hand any specific instructions.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a part time student, I got out the navy a year ago. So I am taking time to myself after all those years in the service and so I have a very flexible schedule. I will follow all rules or accommodations for the pets especially in there home. I will always provide a safe experience and keep the dogs a number one priority
About: I've been around well trained and untrained dogs alike for most of my life. I am capable with strong dogs, aggressive dogs, and dogs who just have tons of energy! I am currently doing gig work in the film industry, so in between gigs I have plenty of time to care for our furry friends. I care for other people's pets same as I care for mine at home. Simple basics are essential, but the magic happens when you build a bond and enrich each other's time together.

“Amos was an excellent caregiver for Bruce, showing great responsibility and genuine affection. He was punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond in his care, keeping me updated with messages. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.

“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“Our dogs’ 4th stay with Steven and family. They will always be our first choice! We continue to be amazed by them. They provide a great environment and I am sure our dogs absolutely love the attention from the children. They take excellent care and provide continuous photo updates throughout the stay. We feel very fortunate to have found Steven and family and are also grateful that they genuinely enjoy watching our dogs. We can tell that our dogs also enjoy them.”
“Diane and her family were AMAZING with Hank! They took great care of him. Diane sent daily updates and pictures, which is always nice when we're away from our dog. I highly recommend Diane and her family!”
“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”
“We are so thankful that we found such a great family to watch our fur baby. Kaylah was beyond professional sending us photos and keeping us updated throughout the stay. It warmed our hearts to pull up and see her son giving our baby belly rubs. We will 100% use Kaylah in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home for your pet. Thanks Kaylah!!!”
“Tasha has been great to work with. Our dog, Max, loves being with her and having fun with other dogs.. She has also been flexible on our pickup time when our flight was delayed. We have booked with Tasha before and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Took care of Marlowe last minute and we didn't worry shout her at all! She had friends to play with and a yard to run around in. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Sarah and her family were the best dog care I could ask for! Sarah was super communicative and so understanding when I had to extend Henry’s stay last minute. Highly highly recommend and Henry will definitely be returning!”
“Allie was so kind and amazing! Poppy loved her time at Allie’s house. She had so many friends to play with and had a blast! Allie is so gracious to send updates throughout her stay and pictures, which we loved! We will definitely be using Allie again for our boarding, and even day care!”
“Olivia took such good care of Bernard! She was very communicative and kept us updated with photos. She has a great fenced in yard… allows for dogs to be active!!! Would def recommend.”
“Our little Nero loved his stay and Valerie was amazing with him. We could tell he was treated with love just like if he was at home. We will definitely have him stay with her again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pups of all sizes for as long as I can remember! I have a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs, but love the energetic puppies too! I work full-time but I’m available everyday that I work after 3pm. The two days that I don’t work, I’m available all day, typically the weekends. I live in an apartment with a large porch and a great sized dog park that any pup would love. When we aren’t outside, my pup hangs out in the living room, but I’m more than happy to use the crate if you are more comfortable! If in-home with your pup, I’ll follow whatever instructions provided to make your pup happy!!
“Coco loved staying with Ben and his family for 6 days while we went away. She’s used to having a busy family around her and loves people, so the situation was perfect with their 3 sweet boys to play with her and give her love and attention. Such a nice family, great with dogs, and very trustworthy. Ben’s wife sent me pictures and updates on Coco and also got a tick off of her! I already knew she was in good hands, but felt even more reassured by the occasional communication. I’m so happy we didn’t have to board Coco and will definitely be requesting Ben’s services again!”
“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Cosette and her daughter took great care of Honey while I was away! Honey was a little nervous and had a hard time eating so she pulled out all the tricks to ensure she ate while we were gone!”
“Christina did an amazing job taking care of my Reo! She was super responsive and kept me updated the entire time, which I truly appreciated. She even sent pictures, which really eased my anxiety and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. I could tell Reo was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Christina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Scottie had such a good time with Natalie. He was able to play a ton and being able to free roam definitely made him feel right at home. Natalie was also super responsive and flexible when I had to modify my booking with her.”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
