“Marilyn was amazing to work with. She was very thorough and prepared at our initial visit, making sure she had all the right info (including the stuff I hadn't thought of) to take care of our dog. She provided multiple updates each day with plenty of photos. Our dog loved her big yard and all the other friends he got to meet during his stay. It's obvious that she and her family love dogs and treat them like family during their visit. We would gladly book again with her!”
“I can’t recommend David enough! I have a very high-energy, very high-strung rescue dog who is my whole world, and David takes SUCH amazing care of her when I have to leave town. He also sends lots of updates and photos of her, so I always rest easy knowing that she’s doing great! He has a beautiful set-up that provides the perfect setting for dogs to run around and play, but also prioritizes safety and makes sure everyone is getting breaks from the heat, lots of water, etc. A million stars 🌟”
“We have boarded our black lab with Amanda twice now, and look forward to boarding her again! My dog gets excited to return and actually whines to get out of the car and go see everyone. Amanda is very responsive and clearly loves animals. It is obvious our pup has a great time and loved getting attention from her kids. Amanda also sends pictures of our dog which helped put our mind at ease- she always seemed so happy! We typically board her at a big boarding facility that is inconvenient and seems to stress our dog out the older she gets. Instead, she gets to feel at home and enjoy a peaceful environment. Amanda is also extremely flexible with drop offs/pick ups which has been very helpful for travel issues. We are so grateful to have found Amanda and know we will continue to use her to keep our pup safe and happy while we're away!”
“Kerri and her family took such good care of my dog Ollie. He came back home a happy boy! Kerri sent me daily pictures and kept me informed on Ollie’s routine and activities. I highly recommend Kerri and her family.”
“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”
“Teri is amazing, she took such good care of Ollie, he looked so happy when we picked him up. Teri sent us video and pics he warmed up with Teri in just a few hours, that is very unusual for him. Teri was able to trick him int taking his medicine, also difficult. Thank you Teri for taking such good care of but m while we attended our daughter’s wedding in Durham!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Thank you Camila and Lino for taking care of Buckshot. I had concerns about him having separation anxiety and fireworks trauma. They provided the care he needed to get through NYs eve. And no worries about anxiety, they made him feel at home. Not only did we have a vacation, but our dog did also. We will be return customers.”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”
“Greg & Julia were fantastic with Leela! They sent me a lot of pictures sharing all the things she was doing, They have a lot of experience, which helped me a lot to low down my anxiety. So happy I’ve found them!”
“I would give 10 out 10. She was patient and kind with my Sullivan. I could see he was well taken care of . Thank you Denetra for the last minute acceptance, very much appreciated”
“David did such a great job with my two pups! We couldn't have asked for anything better, honestly! As soon as we walked into the home with our dogs and they didn't bark, we knew there was something special about David and his ability to communicate with dogs. Our dogs were very calm and didn't have any anxiety as we left. David was very responsive when we texted him any questions or updates on the dogs, and would send us multiple updates each day, along with photos. We will definitely be using David again! ”
“Ravon took fantastic care of our senior pup. She gave her so much love and attention!! She made sure to fully understand her dietary and exercise needs, which we really appreciate. Ravon definitely provided a safe, home-away-from-home for our girl. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and was very very responsive. We would absolutely book with Ravon again!”
“If you are searching for just the right person to care for your family pet, your search is over! I am so thankful that we met Erin- she is a true gift! We were traveling for an extended time and I literally just relaxed and enjoyed the trip just knowing that our dog Lou was in such good hands. Lou is a rescue with some behavior issues which is where Erin is really amazing. She took everything in stride and I can easily see that Lou got lots of attention and companionship. She is an anxious dog and although she enjoys doggy daycare/and we have had other pet sitters, Lou always comes home stressed out, exhausted, nervous and her eyes look bloodshot. Not this time! This has been a completely different experience, she is visibly calm and shows no signs of stress at all. Erin is also super organized and detail-oriented, she is flexible (I had to change some dates) and she had no reservations about giving the daily medication Lou needs. Erin's communication was excellent, she even sent us daily pictures of Lou! Erin exceeded our expectations at every turn and I hope she will become a regular member of Lou's family for future stays. Thank you Erin and Dave, your care meant the world to us!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We had never before left Watson for this long and were anxious about it. But Lauren sent pictures and comments frequently and it was clear he was soon having a great time with her and Dito! We can't thank Lauren enough for her great care and thoughtfulness!”
“Our big guy, Ranger, had an amazing stay with Olivia! He was so well cared for and loved. I loved seeing the pics of him playing and hanging out everyday of his stay. We will definitely book with Olivia for Ranger's next stay.”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”
“Niko was in such good hands! He was watched, loved, and cared for the whole time. Savannah is wonderful with communication and updates. Nikos looking forward to the next time!”

“Cameron took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. He was kind, gentle, and incredibly thoughtful with them. He spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats are naturally shy, but Cameron was patient and let them warm up at their own pace, it was amazing to see that they had opened up to him within just two days. Beyond being fantastic with pets, Cameron is also a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book him again!”
“Kristen was awesome! Reliable, caring and trustworthy. She even went above and beyond when my cats unplugged the automatic feeder. Very grateful and would definitely use her again!”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our cat! We had Brittany stay two nights while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updates and was on time for her stays.”
“Alexander is such a great cat sitter! I only trust Alexander to take care of my cat when we're away for vacation. I will definitely ask for Alexander's help again in the future!”
“Excellent. Desiree is very dependable. She's also great with communication and pics and updates:) She also was really helpful recently when a large loose dog got into our yard - one of my male friends was scared of this dog but Desiree skillfully got the dog back outside our fence with no issues.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“Excellent pet and house sitter! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Completely satisfied and look forward to employing this sitter again! Communication was amazing, texted updates once per day on our pet! House care amazing, even offered to water my plants — so appreciated! Our cat could not have been happier or more cared for!”
“Audrey did a great job taking care of my kitty's. I had to go to a funeral and was so glad when she accepted my service request on such short notice. She followed my instructions, provided some other unexpected services and provided pictures. She was great ??!”
About: I have helped with cats since I was little. Me and my sister found a kitten in a sewer in Mooresville North Carolina when I was about 7 or 8 me and my family helped to get her healthy and rehome her. Ever since then I have loved cats of all kinds. I have never personally owned one but I have watched neighbors cats while they were out of town since I was about 10.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Butner
“David is fantastic! We had a last-minute dog sitter cancelation and wow did David come to the rescue. Our two dogs, one 6-month-old puppy and one super anxious 2-year-old spent the entire day over at David's, and honestly...I have never seen them happier from a doggy daycare pick-up! And we have done quite a few Rovers/daycares. The pups immediately loved David and his huge backyard. David was super responsive, asked for and delivered on our care instructions, and just provided an overall great booking/sitting experience. He will for sure be our go-to dog sitter from here on out!”
“Taco loves to go to Laura’s house, every time we start to round the corner to her house, he starts to get excited and can’t wait to get there and play with Marley! He always comes home tuckered out and happy!”
“Teri is awesome! My doggo is a little quirky with his behaviors and Teri was great with learning and navigating those. My dog is slow to warm up to people and I think he sniffed out Teri's awesomeness as he warmed up to her quickly and treats her like shes in the pack. She's a great communicator and sent lots of pupdates. Thankyou Teri!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!
“Bruna took great care of my dog Sky! He had an amazing time with her, and I really appreciated the timely updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Bruna for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: **PLEASE RESPOND IN TIMELY MANNER AFTER RECEIVE REPLY TO REQUEST. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. 🙏🏾** I've taken care of family and friends' dogs since 2010, starting in Charlotte, NC. Longest I've kept one dog is for 2 weeks. I love taking care of dogs as if they were my own. Currently live in Durham, NC in my childhood home. I work from home, so I'm the perfect sitter that can entertain your dog while you're at work, away on vacay/trip, or just need some me time. I am a patient person and do have experience training a couple of dogs from not fearing their crate, knowing boundaries within house, and cease whining. I work from home Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 pm. I occasionally have appts and other events on the weekends, including attending church worship service. I'm at home the majority of the time. I have a pretty open concept in my house, but I close off doors to bedrooms and bathroom. I sometimes close off my hallway to keep in a secluded place in case of visitors or go to sleep at night. I take dogs out on leash, I currently do not have a fenced yard. I spend quality time with them and engage often and show plenty of love.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From my first mixed-breed pup in high school to raising my first Siberian Husky from just 3 months old, I've always loved caring for dogs. Honestly, I wish I'd known sooner that I could get paid to spend time with these amazing companions! I've house-trained my own furry babies and have loved watching them grow up alongside my hooman kiddos. Seeing the bond between them has been incredibly rewarding. Our home is full of love, and we can't wait to welcome your pup into it. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or snuggling, they'll be treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and care while you're away. I work from home and with both my kids now in school I have plenty of time to play and belly rub your fur babies throughout the day! I have a fenced yard with a friendly husky who loves to keep company to all hoomans and pups alike! I also have 2 kids who adore dogs—it’s a constant game of who gets who tired first. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Disco always loves playing at David’s! He comes home happy and (even more importantly) tired from a fun day of romping, playing, and exploring. David also took care to brush Disco down before I picked him up to get rid of the mud that Disco inevitably rolls in. Thanks David!”
“Chelsea and David were amazing! When I picked up my pup, she was happy and tuckered out! I would definitely bring my girl back to them when I come back into town. Can't recommend enough!”
“Lateria was such a lifesaver and an angel. Helped me with my 8 week puppy at a time of critical need. She was sweet, kind, answered all my questions. Grateful to have run into her. Recommend her ?. The world needs more people like her!”
About: Have had at least 1 pet for over 25 years. Wife and I are recent empty nesters that went from having 4 cats and 2 dogs to a Lab and 1 cat when the last of our 4 kids moved out.

We have a dog park for them to play at our place. Our Labrador Bailey will be put in crate until they get acquainted if needed. Bailey is friendly as can be, however I know animals can get nervous in new environments. If coming to your residence I will request and do’s or dont’s to ensure your animal is taken care of up to your expectations and above. I am a public school teacher, so I am fortunate enough to have summers off. So my availability is very open even a short notice. Love all animals and will freaky all animals as if they are my own. We would be honored to treat your animal to a nice vacation as you enjoy yours. My wife and I are retired and have a very flexible schedule. We are happy to accommodate any requests or special needs you may have. We cater to each individual animals personality. We try to maintain and provide care as close to wider the animal is used to in a daily basis in order to minimize any stress.

“Ally is willing to go above and beyond to make all animals feel comfortable and cared for. She’s very responsive and provides any and all reassurance and communication.”
About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're apart of my own family. Over the years, I've cared for and watched pets for neighbors, family and friends, everything from drop-in visits to extended stays and I genuinely enjoy giving each animal the same care I'd want for my own. I currently own two senior cats (my babies), so I'm especially comfortable with older pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or a gentler routine. I also frequently care for my sister's dog and cat when she's traveling, so I'm experienced juggling different personalities and needs under one roof. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving playtime and snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe while you're away I treat every animal like family. I have a pretty open schedule, so I'm flexible and can usually accommodate what works best for you. I'm available for: Weekday visits and walks: morning, afternoon, or evening Weekend care: both Saturday and Sunday Recurring bookings: happy to set up a regular schedule if that's what you need Last-minute requests: if something comes up, just ask Whether you need daily check-ins for your cat, a midday dog walk, or someone to stop by while you're out of town, I can likely make it work. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask about a specific time, I'm happy to figure something out! I know how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else's hands, I feel the same way about my own. That's why I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. Safety first: I'm always alert to potential hazards, things like open doors, toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or escape routes. I follow any instructions you leave to the letter, and I'll check in if anything seems off. Trust & communication: I'll send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it's a quick text after a drop-in or a full report after a walk, you'll never be left wondering. I respect your home, your space, and your pet's routine. A calm, loving environment: I meet every animal where they are, shy cats get patience and quiet company, energetic dogs get walks and playtime, seniors get gentle care and extra comfort. My goal is to keep their day as stress-free and happy as possible, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Sierra was fantastic with our dog! She was communicative with us and sent us beautiful photos of our dog on their walks! It was obvious he felt totally comfortable and happy with her. We’re grateful for her work and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.
About: Hey! My name is Jordan, I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 3 years and babysitting this past year for my friends and family! I just turned 18 so I can finally make an account of rover, but I love animals. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats and can match whatever energy your pet needs, whether that is going on a run, playing fetch, or chilling on the couch watching a show! Truth be told I care more about animals than people. Maybe that sounds harsh, in reality we do not deserve animals but we get the best companionship you could ask for. I’m currently away for school and can explain how much I miss my dog. I’m hoping to pour love into other pets while I can’t with my own ♥️ I am a part time cosmetology student at Aveda Chapel hill. My hours are 9 am to 8 pm Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Every other day I will be more than happy to spend time with your pets. I live with my 24 yo sister and her husband. They have a dog named Tony who is super sweet. Before being able to watch pets in my home I would have to introduce them to Tony to make sure both parties are safe. if I am watching your pet at your house feel free to ask me to wash dishes, straighten up or do a load of laundry! Same goes for housesitting!!

If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give to every pet. I focus on personalized attention, clear communication with owners, and creating a calm, loving environment so pets feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits, walks, feeding times, and play so each pet gets reliable care and attention. I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also provide lots of attention, love, supervision and updates so both pets and owners feel safe and at ease.
About: Every dog I meet is a companion full of joy, and excitement. I can't wait to be your canine's next good friend! Experience: At the age of 3 I immediately knew I loved dogs. As I grew, I took steps to surround myself with them. For 3 years in high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter taking all types of dogs on walks, bathing them, and working with them. I learned how to deal with dogs who weren't at their best and who had a wide range of personalities. Then, for two years I worked in a veterinarians office as an assistant due to my undying love of each and every dog. I have hosted dogs in my home in the past here on Rover over the course of 3 years, but now I am operating my fish farm, I am happy to drop in for your animals while you are away. I can give long walks, administer medication, drop in for feeding and litter box scraping, house sit, or farm sit (explicit experience with chicks/chickens/horses/fish/reptiles). I look forward to being a companion for you and your animals. I have a flexible routine on my farm that requires about 2 hours of my time every day. I will fit your animal care around those hours. In my home, my dog lives a life of luxury. I have a philosophy of observing an animal intensely and observing what they may need or want. Each animal has a different vibe and needs me in a different way.
About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child. Cats since I was in the military and we are a happy home with mixed breeds all loving and living under one roof. I have a flexible schedule I have one pup daily I am fully committed to walking around lunchtime. Fenced yard. I can drop by and provide walks also. Whatever you need. Cats…dogs…snakes…monkeys…. Whatever your requirements we can meet them. I am wide open. My dogs and cats have freedom inside and outside. Let get it done together!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My family had a wonderful mutt that arrived the same year that I was born, so he was essentially my puppy sibling. He has long passed away but I also have many years of experience dog sitting for my family and friends and can provide references. My current place won't let me have pets, so it will be awesome to get my fix by taking care of your wonderful dogs! I can't wait to meet them. I have a full time Monday-Friday job, but I am available on weekends, and after 5:30 during the week. I can be flexible, and try to accommodate your ad your pet's needs! Safety is my first priority. I will never have company or even food delivery inside of your home, and will never provide your address to anyone else, unless it is an emergency, in which case I will contact you directly first and get your permission to call my emergency contact (my mother)! I will make sure I feed and walk your dogs(s) consistently, and of course play with them and give them attention while you are away. I do not mind doing light housework, and I am comfortable with sitting for more than one dog.
“Marissa has been doing a great job with my dog! She’s so easy to communicate with and has really helped me out on days when I can’t walk my dog in the late morning or afternoon. She also takes him for a long walk and uploads good photos as well.”
About: I've always enjoyed taking care of animals all of my life. While not being able to own too many myself, I have always opted to taking care of other's pets, whether it be dogs, cats, or something else. I am always happy to see/find new experiences, and am up to the challenge for anything new! I'm taking online classes currently, so my schedule is open after 8AM! If needed slightly earlier, I will try my best to compensate for such a need, as my schedule is very flexible. I live in a townhouse, so I do not have a fenced yard or any of the sort, however, I can provide a quality experience with your pets in attention and exercise!

“Marilyn was amazing to work with. She was very thorough and prepared at our initial visit, making sure she had all the right info (including the stuff I hadn't thought of) to take care of our dog. She provided multiple updates each day with plenty of photos. Our dog loved her big yard and all the other friends he got to meet during his stay. It's obvious that she and her family love dogs and treat them like family during their visit. We would gladly book again with her!”
“I can’t recommend David enough! I have a very high-energy, very high-strung rescue dog who is my whole world, and David takes SUCH amazing care of her when I have to leave town. He also sends lots of updates and photos of her, so I always rest easy knowing that she’s doing great! He has a beautiful set-up that provides the perfect setting for dogs to run around and play, but also prioritizes safety and makes sure everyone is getting breaks from the heat, lots of water, etc. A million stars 🌟”
“We have boarded our black lab with Amanda twice now, and look forward to boarding her again! My dog gets excited to return and actually whines to get out of the car and go see everyone. Amanda is very responsive and clearly loves animals. It is obvious our pup has a great time and loved getting attention from her kids. Amanda also sends pictures of our dog which helped put our mind at ease- she always seemed so happy! We typically board her at a big boarding facility that is inconvenient and seems to stress our dog out the older she gets. Instead, she gets to feel at home and enjoy a peaceful environment. Amanda is also extremely flexible with drop offs/pick ups which has been very helpful for travel issues. We are so grateful to have found Amanda and know we will continue to use her to keep our pup safe and happy while we're away!”

“Teri is amazing, she took such good care of Ollie, he looked so happy when we picked him up. Teri sent us video and pics he warmed up with Teri in just a few hours, that is very unusual for him. Teri was able to trick him int taking his medicine, also difficult. Thank you Teri for taking such good care of but m while we attended our daughter’s wedding in Durham!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Thank you Camila and Lino for taking care of Buckshot. I had concerns about him having separation anxiety and fireworks trauma. They provided the care he needed to get through NYs eve. And no worries about anxiety, they made him feel at home. Not only did we have a vacation, but our dog did also. We will be return customers.”
“We were very pleased w the entire experience. We, with our two dogs, met Evan in advance to make sure everyone was comfortable and at that point I knew we were in good hands. Our babies had so much fun running around on a farm Happily recommend Evan.”

“I would give 10 out 10. She was patient and kind with my Sullivan. I could see he was well taken care of . Thank you Denetra for the last minute acceptance, very much appreciated”
“David did such a great job with my two pups! We couldn't have asked for anything better, honestly! As soon as we walked into the home with our dogs and they didn't bark, we knew there was something special about David and his ability to communicate with dogs. Our dogs were very calm and didn't have any anxiety as we left. David was very responsive when we texted him any questions or updates on the dogs, and would send us multiple updates each day, along with photos. We will definitely be using David again! ”
“If you are searching for just the right person to care for your family pet, your search is over! I am so thankful that we met Erin- she is a true gift! We were traveling for an extended time and I literally just relaxed and enjoyed the trip just knowing that our dog Lou was in such good hands. Lou is a rescue with some behavior issues which is where Erin is really amazing. She took everything in stride and I can easily see that Lou got lots of attention and companionship. She is an anxious dog and although she enjoys doggy daycare/and we have had other pet sitters, Lou always comes home stressed out, exhausted, nervous and her eyes look bloodshot. Not this time! This has been a completely different experience, she is visibly calm and shows no signs of stress at all. Erin is also super organized and detail-oriented, she is flexible (I had to change some dates) and she had no reservations about giving the daily medication Lou needs. Erin's communication was excellent, she even sent us daily pictures of Lou! Erin exceeded our expectations at every turn and I hope she will become a regular member of Lou's family for future stays. Thank you Erin and Dave, your care meant the world to us!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! We had never before left Watson for this long and were anxious about it. But Lauren sent pictures and comments frequently and it was clear he was soon having a great time with her and Dito! We can't thank Lauren enough for her great care and thoughtfulness!”
“Our big guy, Ranger, had an amazing stay with Olivia! He was so well cared for and loved. I loved seeing the pics of him playing and hanging out everyday of his stay. We will definitely book with Olivia for Ranger's next stay.”
“Niko was in such good hands! He was watched, loved, and cared for the whole time. Savannah is wonderful with communication and updates. Nikos looking forward to the next time!”
“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
