We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

We felt so at ease knowing they were in such a caring environment. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Merina was fantastic! She helped us out in a pinch and agreed to watch after Wilson with very short notice. She was a great communicator and kept us up to date with lots of check ins and pictures. She was also quick to let us know that Wilson had a bit of an issue with some fleas ☹️. Embarrassing for us, but we are so appreciative of Merina communicating this to us. She also was willing to take the time to give Wilson a flea bath & remove fleas. We are so grateful for Merina for discovering this & quickly communicating so that we could make arrangements to get him to the vet for evaluation. Merina quickly went from a sitter to vet for Wilson & we are very grateful for that.”
“Rachel was super sweet and she will care for your dog like they are family. I appreciated her sending photos everyday as it was our very first time leaving Nala with a Rover sitter but I now feel secure and will be definitely doing future bookings with her.”
About: While I don’t have professional kennel or veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for dogs, including my own Goldendoodle. I regularly provide pet care for friends and family when they travel or need extra help. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I can plan my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible enough to adjust to each pet’s needs. Since I have my own dog, I’m already used to building care, exercise, and attention into my day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday, or evening care, I prioritize consistency so pets stay comfortable and on schedule. Caring for animals is something I enjoy and can reliably fit into my day. I provide trust and safety in my home by maintaining a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals are closely supervised and cared for with consistency. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so they feel comfortable and secure. Since I have my own dog, I’m already experienced in creating a safe daily environment and paying attention to each pet’s needs. I also communicate clearly with pet owners and make sure I understand any special instructions, health concerns, or preferences before care begins. My goal is to give every pet a calm, reliable, and trustworthy home away from home.
“Our boys had the best time staying with Mrs. Donna!! She provides the best daily updates with lots of pictures! Her home is very accommodating for pups and we are looking forward to the boys returning for another stay in the future. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.
“Yisel is wonderful!! Took such great care of Lady!! Really does a great job of making your pet feel at home! Highly recommend!! We will definitely call her again! She is very kind and super responsive! Great experience for our family! ???”

“Shakoya was amazing caring for our two cats this past week—she played with them, talked with them, gave them so much love, and did every single thing on our care list for them. She went above and beyond, even taking in deliveries on our doorstep for us! She was timely each day and kept us updated on how they were doing and the behaviors they were exhibiting. She also sent lots of pictures, which we loved and appreciated greatly! We will definitely book with her again. Not a single bad thing to say. Thanks again, Shakoya!!”
“I have used Teresa’s services at 3 times. She is amazing and has definitely exceeds expectations. She noticed and turned my water hose off after I left it running for a whole day 🤦🏽♀️. She also has returned when my cat got out of the house and didn’t return during her scheduled time. She’s really the only person I have experience with on this platform. Thankful she has been available when I need a sitter for my 2 cats.”
“Sharon was so great with our kitty! Followed directions and sent us pictures throughout to keep my separation anxiety at bay 😅 we will definitely book with her again!”
“Amanda, takes the extra time so Rosie gets to know her. Sends pictures and lets me know how her visit was. I will definitely continue to have Amanda care for Rosie when needed.”
“My pup was well taken care of due to this drop in! This was my first time using this app and of course it somehow had my old address. Once I realized the mishap Joshua was already at my old apartment but had no issue driving to the new location! So grateful! I had put in a request on such short notice & they picked it up with no problem! Great service and response time 😊”
“Kristyn always takes such wonderful care of my cats! Espresso is usually shy around anyone that isn't me, but she warms up to Kristyn quickly every visit!”
“Hilary was able to coax my extremely timid kitten into interacting and enjoying her visits. She communicates effectively and thoroughly and is someone that I would book again in a heartbeat.”
About: I personally have three of my own kitties. I am a certified crazy cat mom, so I understand the stress of leaving your cats behind while away. I have experience administering medications, and have a handicapped kitty of my own.
“Haley was great with my dog with special needs. She followed instructions provided updates and showed she really cared. We would definitely use Haley as our sitter again. Thank you!”
“Sydney was so kind to Lily and to me. She was great with communication and sent detailed report cards to let me know my baby was safe and loved on. She also stayed the full 30 minutes, which I have struggled with with other sitters in the past. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jeff is seriously top notch! Extra communicative and will gladly go the extra mile. Always takes amazing care of our two cats. We continue to use his services for a reason!”
“Jessica took really good care of my cat while I was on vacation. I was impressed with how thorough she was, sending me photos each visit and going out of her way to coax my shy cat out of hiding to make friends. I will definitely use her again!”
“Kitty and Gus loved Amy!! She was proactive about meeting beforehand and took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ll definitely be using her again!!!”
About: Hi, y'all! I'm Somer, and I live in the Charlotte, NC area with my fiancé and our two rescue pups, Bella and Lilly! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a small farm in Ohio where we cared for dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, and just about every other farm animal you can think of! That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of how important our pets are, they're family, and they deserve the very best care.💜 My fiancé is a professional dog trainer, so I've learned so much from him over the years, and together we've trained our own pups while continuing to grow our knowledge of animal behavior and care. Our dream is to one day open an animal rescue, so helping pets and the people who love them is truly our passion. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you're away, you can rest easy knowing they'll be treated like one of our own! I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care for every furry friend I meet. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!🐾💜 I am available during the week before 2pm and weekends vary depending on my other work schedule. My schedule is pretty flexible though and willing to work anything out! I have 2 very friendly pups and safe neighborhood for nice long walks! Willing to make any type of drive for the comfort of your baby! Your pup will never get bored!

“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 16; and neighbors have relied on me to care of their dogs occasionally. I love dogs! I am a stay home mom of 2 and I am available to play with your pups while my children are in school and on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Also, my neighborhood is pet friendly .
About: Hi, I'm Aura! I love pets, and so does my whole family. I've had pets at home my whole life, and I'm sure they bring us joy. I'm a responsible, caring, and patient person. I have seven years of experience caring for dogs. If your pet is active, I can take them for walks, and when my daughter gets home from school, they can play together. I'll make sure they're happy and burn off energy. If, on the other hand, your pet is calm and serene, they'll be surrounded by love in a peaceful environment, no matter their age. I'm home all the time, so your pet won't feel lonely. I'd love for you to tell me about their routines, likes, and anything else that will help them feel secure. I have a beautiful Shih Tzu they can play with, and I assure you they'll feel right at home. I'll send you updates, including photos, so you can rest easy. I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry friend; it's an important job for me, so you can count on me on weekends and even holidays. I have a large house with a large yard where we can play, I have a dog that can play with your furry baby, if you have any special needs I can gladly help you
About: I love animals, especially dogs! Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for many decades. I'm very cheerful and engaging with pets and enjoy caring for them. If I have the opportunity to care for your precious loved one, they will look forward to spending time with me again. I have a 12 lb spayed female Chihuahua named Porkchop that is always by my side. She is shy at first but very playful once she warms up - Porkchop gets along great with other dogs. I own a house on a 1/3 acre lot with fenced back yard that backs up to a park with walking trails. I also live within 10 minutes of many parks in SW Charlotte including McDowell Nature Preserve, in case your dog likes car rides and nature hiking. I look forward to caring for your dog and being a trusted friend to your loved one while you are away. Dogs with special needs are welcome and will be very well cared for. I’m retired from the corporate world and available full time to care for your pets. I will be there with your dog around the clock sans any errands that need to be run. I will be there with your pet full time to provide meals & potty breaks as scheduled/necessary and keep your pet company. Daily walks are also provided upon request.
About: We’ve had our own dog for almost 2 years and have taken great care of him, learning how to understand his personality, routines, and needs. As pet owners, we know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and we treat every pet like family. We’re also exploring the idea of adding another dog to our family in the future, so pet sitting is a great way for our dog to safely socialize while giving your pup a loving, attentive environment. We’re very mindful of introductions and make sure both dogs feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I currently stay at home, and my husband works fully remote, so there is always someone present to give your pup attention and care throughout the day. Our dog, Hilo, follows a consistent routine with three walks a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—along with regular feeding times. Your dog will be included in a structured, loving environment with plenty of playtime, supervision, and companionship. We provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where your dog will feel at home. We are very attentive and always supervise interactions to ensure comfort for all dogs. Our dog Hilo is well cared for and used to a routine, and we take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe. We can follow your dog’s specific feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule, and can crate if needed. With someone always home, your pup will never be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care, attention, and love.
“Gonzalo and his family are incredibly loving! You feel that warmth the second you step into their home. Pets run around happily like they own the place. Muffin was absolutely thrilled both times, playing right up until pickup. We loved getting their timely photo and video updates. We have found a home away from home for Muffin!”
About: Hi there! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I treat every pup like my own. I provide full time, round the clock care, playtime in a secure fenced yard, and a calm, loving home where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Prior to this, I spent years managing people and daily operations in my professional career, and I bring that same dependability, structure, and consistency into pet care. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s medication, special diets, or just extra affection. I’m home all day, every day, and I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and honest communication so you always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is simple: you leave worry free, and your dog leaves tail wagging and excited to come back. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. I do this full-time, so I’m home throughout the day to give dogs my full attention. My mornings start with walks in the neighborhood, feeding, and playtime. Throughout the day, I keep dogs active, comfortable, and supervised, with plenty of breaks, affection, and quiet time. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and comfortable space where they get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality, creating a calm, positive environment that helps them settle in and feel loved while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and I truly love it! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day. My own dog has been my sidekick for the past six years, so I know firsthand how important it is to leave your pet somewhere safe and loving. I treat every dog like family and always want them to feel right at home while they’re here. Because I work from home, pets fit naturally into my daily routine and are rarely left alone for long periods of time. My flexible schedule allows me to give them lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and downtime throughout the day depending on their needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the household. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, plus a pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, and I always want pet parents to feel confident leaving their furry family member in my care. In this house, dogs are loved, respected, and always welcome on the furniture for snuggles :)
About: Dogs will be part of our family :). I’ve taken care of dogs countless times throughout the years, my dog get along with everyone. Dogs are absolutely a man’s best friend. I work from home, so I’ll have all the time to be attentive to your pup. About this sitter: We are at home a lot and love taking dogs for walks and going to parks. My dog enjoys meeting other dogs as well. Meet my dog; I have a Lhasa apso, named Bear. He's super loving, and can't hurt a fly. He welcomes other dogs to his house or likes to visit other homes. Bear has free reign of the house and sleeps with us.
“Krystle was great with my last minute request. My pups came home happy and with a little treat! We wouldn't hesitate to book again when we are back in Charlotte. It was a great option for us to drop the dogs off before visiting Carowinds. She had a large backyard too for my dogs to lounge in the sun.”
“Our first pet sitting experience was great thanks to Glisel. She arrived on time, even a little early which is so appreciated. Glisel took great care of our very anxious Murphy. We could not ask for anything else. We already have Glisel booked for an extended housesitting visit later this month & we have great confidence all will be well.”
“Christine and Andrew have been the best with taking care of Wilma weekly. They are sure to keep us updated and send pictures - they also make sure she gets plenty of toys :) Wilma looks forward to her time with them each week and it has been so seamless working with the both of them. I highly recommend working with them on pet sitting needs - they rock!”
About: I've had a 4-legged family member since I was a young child. I've done dog sitting, dog walking and cat sitting for my neighbors, friends and children over the years. We also had a miniature schnauzer for 14 years. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to him a couple of years ago and we still miss him dearly. I love my grand pups though! My husband and I are recently retired and we are truly a pet loving family. Let us spoil your fur baby like we do with our grand pups. I'm recently retired, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby. I'm available for dog walking and cat sitting too. I do require a meet and greet before booking, for the safety and comfort of your pet. I have plenty of green space in my neighborhood to walk your dog, and I have space in my home to crate, if needed.
“Nathalia was great! She is so sweet and you can tell loves dogs! Out senior dog had a great time with her and got lots of walks! She was super accommodating with ongoing schedule! I know any dog is in good hands with her. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Luis and his children were great with our puppy, Finch. It was Finch’s first time at daycare and we felt extremely happy and comfortable leaving him with Luis and his family. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Finch.”
About: My name is Shannon and working with dogs is my passion! I’m a trainer and have two dogs (German Shepherd and German Shorthaired Pointer). I do require that all my boarding dogs are crate trained for their protection as well as up to date on all regular vaccinations. As I work from home, I’m normally not gone from the house for more than an hour or so at a time on a normal day. We do require dogs to be crate trained as they are crated overnight and when not supervised. I do keep client dogs mostly separate from other dogs until I get a feel for their play style and needs before they interact with other dogs (including my own personal dogs who are very dog friendly). I work from home so we are always home to care for an additional resident! We also have a young toddler who loves having dogs around the house to watch. Our regulars are already her favorites! Someone is always around to make sure the pups are cared for while they stay with us. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first and we will always make decisions in their best interest while communicating with you daily of any occurrences! We send photos on each drop-in and one photo per day during boarding. While we are available for you, we aren’t overly attached to our work phones - so don’t worry if we don’t respond throughout the day to multiple messages… our time is spent chasing the dogs and the toddler around!

“Bret is reliable and great at communicating after every encounter. He even asks about my babies to see how they’re doing throughout the week. It is evident he has plenty of experience with pets and provides quality care as if they were his babies too. Highly recommend.”
“Diamond was AWESOME! She was communicative and very reliable! She showed up on time and she made sure we had knowledge of when she entered and left our home. I was apprehensive about giving a stranger access to our home but she quickly put all of my fears at ease, she was delightful. We will definitely be using her in the future as our experience was very positive.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dog breeds since I was 16, I have experience with training puppies as well as working with older dogs and disabled ones as well.

I have an open place for your animals to walk with me as well as a friendly furry friend named Phoebe to keep yours company. If them staying with me is not what you want when it is just me one on one with your babies I pay extensive attention to their needs to make sure they are happy and healthy when you are not there.
“Alyssa was so awesome with our dog Sunny while we were out of town for 11 days. She was punctual, loved on our dog, left the best messages that we looked forward to receiving and was great overall. She even took our dog running regularly when I mentioned how often we run her - which I did not expect. I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa.”

“Gonzalo is amazing! So kind, punctual and great at communicating - and importantly, great with my dog! She absolutely loved her walks with him and I always got the cutest pictures showing her happiness and fun. Thank you so much, Gonzalo!!”

I am also actively involved in training my service dog, which has taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and safety. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.
About: I work part-time at a doggie daycare (best job EVER); where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to seniors, and from super social pups to those who need a little more patience and understanding. My hands-on experience has taught me how to read body language, manage multiple dog’s play safely, and provide individualized care for each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs structured walks, calm companionship, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’m here to help. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or in-home boarding, I plan my pet sitting schedule around my work to make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always allow time for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and quality one-on-one time. If your pet has a specific routine or care needs, I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’ll come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, helping maintain your pet’s normal routine in their own space. This is ideal for pets who are more relaxed at home or who need a schedule and do not like change. Some dogs suffer from severe anxiety being in new territory so sometimes it’s best to have your pup stay in their home to make it easier on them. Of course the same goes for senior pups unless they require substantial care I have the means to actually stay in home and cater to their daily routine as I’ve had several jobs doing so. In my home I offer comfortable, personalized care for dogs or cats who enjoy a cozy, quiet space away from home. I have a dedicated space just for pet guests, where I can safely store their belongings (beds, toys, food, etc.) and give them a calm space to settle in. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up with all the essentials for safe and happy boarding, including food/water bowls, toys, and pet-safe cleaning products. If your dog is crate-trained, please provide their crate so they have a familiar, secure space to relax in. I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during their stay. If they are not crate trained and are a bed cuddler; please just let me know. I don’t mind as mine sleeps with me as well; so don’t ever feel judged based on you letting your dogs sleep with you.
“Sydney was so kind and energetic great for pups who need to get energy out. We had a death in the family the night before & Sydney was kind enough to ask if there was anything else she could do multiple times, clearly a person who loves & cares for both people and animals.”
“Chloe is the best! She’s incredibly consistent, always communicative, and makes scheduling a breeze. I have peace of mind knowing my pup is in great hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hi, y'all! I'm Somer, and I live in the Charlotte, NC area with my fiancé and our two rescue pups, Bella and Lilly! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a small farm in Ohio where we cared for dogs, cats, horses, pigs, goats, and just about every other farm animal you can think of! That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of how important our pets are, they're family, and they deserve the very best care.💜 My fiancé is a professional dog trainer, so I've learned so much from him over the years, and together we've trained our own pups while continuing to grow our knowledge of animal behavior and care. Our dream is to one day open an animal rescue, so helping pets and the people who love them is truly our passion. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention while you're away, you can rest easy knowing they'll be treated like one of our own! I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care for every furry friend I meet. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!🐾💜 I am available during the week before 2pm and weekends vary depending on my other work schedule. My schedule is pretty flexible though and willing to work anything out! I have 2 very friendly pups and safe neighborhood for nice long walks! Willing to make any type of drive for the comfort of your baby! Your pup will never get bored!

“This was the first time the dog stayed with Lizbeth for an sleepover and they did so wonderfully. She is so lovely to work with and so kind with our dogs. The best!”
“We are so happy we found this wonderful couple! They have a quiet home and a fantastic backyard that was perfect for our two dogs. It can be a lot to manage two pups at once, but they handled it perfectly. They sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt so at ease knowing they were in such a caring environment. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Merina was fantastic! She helped us out in a pinch and agreed to watch after Wilson with very short notice. She was a great communicator and kept us up to date with lots of check ins and pictures. She was also quick to let us know that Wilson had a bit of an issue with some fleas ☹️. Embarrassing for us, but we are so appreciative of Merina communicating this to us. She also was willing to take the time to give Wilson a flea bath & remove fleas. We are so grateful for Merina for discovering this & quickly communicating so that we could make arrangements to get him to the vet for evaluation. Merina quickly went from a sitter to vet for Wilson & we are very grateful for that.”
“Rachel was super sweet and she will care for your dog like they are family. I appreciated her sending photos everyday as it was our very first time leaving Nala with a Rover sitter but I now feel secure and will be definitely doing future bookings with her.”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.
“Erin & Steve were amazing with our bulldog, Maisy. They attended to her needs as a higher maintenance breed and provided great updates throughout the stay. Maisy adjusted well and came home happy as ever! We will definitely use them again and hope you do too!”
“My two pups had a blast at Stacy's. I know that my boxer loved being able to run and play in their fenced backyard. Stacy was quick to respond and very flexible in her schedule. I have nothing but high praise! ”
“This is the second time I have used Tina and her family. They have done a great job both times. My dog, Ella, is in love with them! I would use them repeatedly - they did everything I asked and went beyond.”
“My Mister had a rough day but the minute we pulled up and he didn’t bark at her, I felt immediate relief. Upon picking him up I got such great feedback and an incredibly happy boy came running out. I asked him if he made new friends he ran over and gave her more loves! My heart is so happy and I couldn’t be more pleased with Nathalia and all of the girls that took such good care of my baby boy!”
“We had a great experience with Vassa! She made sure to play with our dog every day, which we really appreciated. We also loved receiving lots of pictures and updates of Raya, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her dog, Chase, got along really well with Raya, and it was clear they had a great time together. Raya came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would definitely book with Vassa again!”
“Luis and his family are absolutely wonderful! My dog Cash has stayed with them multiple times and he honestly gets excited every time we pull up to their house. They take such great care of him I never worry for a second when he's with them. Cash clearly loves them, and that tells me everything I need to know. If you're looking for a caring, trustworthy home away from home for your pet, look no further than Luis. Thank you again to Luis and his whole family!"”
“Amanda took great care of my dog Mini. Mini had a great time and really enjoyed her stay. I received pictures and updates throughout the stay and my mind was at ease knowing that my baby is taken care of.”
“Janet took great care of my puppy! I would definitely recommend her. She was very flexible with our changing schedule and gave regular updates. I will definitely use her for dog sitting again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog! My pup is usually very shy, but from the photos I received, she looked so calm and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. Laura provided a great number of updates, and it was so reassuring to see my dog in such good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
