“Oh my goodness!Yelena is such a great dog friend! She made Wrigley feel comfortable right away. Lots of walks and love! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. We could not be happier. She is definitely someone who will love your fur babies ♥️♥️♥️”
“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“Ashley was very personable, easy to work with, and was happy to watch Brady with short notice. She told me they took a long walk and Brady loved sleeping under her bed. I was comfortable leaving Brady and would again in the future. Thank you Ashley!”
“Lisa was communicative with my questions and even did a meet & greet so Lucy could meet her dogs. That gave me reassurance that Lucy would be comfortable with Lisa and her fur babies. Her house is clean and her yard is a haven for dogs! Lisa sent me periodic pics and let me know that Lucy was settling in nicely. The fact that she loves and cares for her own dogs helped me to know she is an absolute DOG LOVER!! I would absolutely recommend Lisa for dog sitting and boarding.”

“Katie and her family took such good care of Gimli. Katie kept us updated with daily pictures and texts so we could relax and enjoy our time away knowing he was content. The kids and Shea and the enclosed back yard were icing on the cake. Heartily recommend.”
“Arya is awesome - highly recommend! She was very active and loving with our goldendoodle. She also was very communicative with pictures and letting us know how he was doing throughout the week. Definitely would book her again!”
“Thank you to Lipika for accommodating me with a minute request for overnight boarding! She was quickly responsive, kind, understanding, and empathetic. She sent me time-stamped videos throughout the day when my dog socialized and played, went for walks and ate. I appreciated the communication which made me feel that my dog was comfortable and in good hands with her family! My dog was very calm when I picked her up!! A good sign. Would definitely book again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. This lifelong connection has inspired me to continually learn and understand the unique needs and behaviors of different species. My experience in pet care extends not only to caring for my own pets but also to assisting family and friends, as well as volunteering in animal-related activities. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed a strong commitment to ensuring that every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where your pet can feel at home, even when you are away. I am dedicated to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to the individual needs of each animal. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own hours. I am committed to doing my best to accommodate both your and your pets needs. I own my own house and have a large backyard. I also live close to two greenways and an open field. I also have the option of walking your pet around my community. When requested to take care of your pet at your place of residence, I will follow your instructions to allow your pet to follow your, his or her daily routine whether it be walking, playing, feeding, etc.
“I would definitely give five stars to Anamika! If it were possible, I would give her ten stars. She was a great surprise to us and Tião. We have used Rover many times, but we finally found someone who genuinely cares for our dog with love. I must confess that I thought my dog would not want to come back home after the exceptional service Anamika provided. Anamika is also committed to let you know how's your dog doing. We will undoubtedly use her services again in the future!”
“Megan was great. Our mini schnauzer has a high level of separation anxiety. It was important that she not be left for hours everyday. Megan was excellent about sending updates. It was obvious our mini was well cared for. Will definitely use again.”
“Libby really enjoyed her stay with Caitlin! We booked an overnight stay as a “trial” for a longer trip later this year since we don’t board very often. Caitlin really put me at ease. I’m looking forward to having peace of mind on my trip and will definitely book again!”
“Sindhu and her family loved our boys like their own. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and our pups were clearly having a great time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Alison and Richard were the perfect Rover sitters for our pup! Before the booking, they offered us the opportunity to come over for a visit to make sure we, and the dog, felt comfortable in their home and with their dogs. During the stay, they sent updates and pictures letting us know how Tucker was doing, without being asked. For a dog mom who treats her dog like a child, this was the most relaxed we’ve been with leaving him since our recent move. We also love that Alison is home with the dog 24/7, something we appreciate for our semi-anxious dog who is used to a kennel at home or staying with family. We will most definitely be using them for future bookings!”

“I had a great experience booking with Maura! Right from the start, they were quick to respond to messages and made the whole process super easy. I really appreciated that they asked thoughtful questions about my pet’s routine, preferences, and even double-checked on things like feeding times and medication. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they truly cared about getting everything right. I would absolutely book again!”
“Karley is our go to pet sitter! She is prompt, caring, and loves our Snoop Newton like he is her own. I would recommend Karley to anyone as you know your pet is in good hands when you are away!”
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
About: While dogs have been a larger part of my life, I have experience caring for cats and am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and providing companionship. I grew up with a cat and have cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. As a lifelong animal lover, rescue volunteer, foster, and pet owner, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive care and treating every pet like family.
“Rosa did an excellent job of watching my cat which included playing with her, feeding her and hanging out with her. 😻My cat did not want to see me come home lol😹 I am already rebooking Rosa for my next vacation away. I recommend her highly to anyone that has a cat that needs some TLC🐈⬛🐈”
“Mary is wonderful! She is so great with our cat and our home. She always puts in extra effort to make sure everything goes smoothly. We can relax and enjoy our trips because we know our cat and home are in good hands with Mary. She’s super at communicating as well - very responsive and helpful.”

“A BIG thank you to Caitlin for taking such fabulous care of my two babies Felix and Ellie while I was out of town for two weeks. She was so great with them, and I felt at ease being gone so long, knowing she was taking such wonderful care of them!!! I highly recommend her, she is a sweetheart and always sent detailed updates and great photos!!! Thank you again, it was greatly appreciated!!! 😀”
“Katy is sweet and efficient and tried very hard to connect with Gizmo. She even went the extra mile and took out our trash, etc., while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely call on her again!”
“Gabby was a wonderful cat sitter who was timely, flexible and always sent pictures with thorough updates. It was clear the kitties felt very comfortable with her! I will definitely be using Gabby again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cornelius
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!”

“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”
About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.
About: I have had dogs since I was born. We have had anywhere from 1 to 4 dogs at a time. As a family of four with two working parents, I have always been responsible to care for my dogs in the way they need. I currently work remotely for my full time job. I tend to do some traveling but also have much free time on my hands when I am at home. My two dogs at home are fully potty trained. I am comfortable taking them out on leashes, cleaning up after them, and crating them if needed.
“Carol is wonderful! She welcomed Hazel with open arms and was very thorough in understanding Hazel’s personality, behaviors, routine, and preferences. I felt very comforted leaving Hazel with Carol for daycare.”
About: I'm an active, work from home dog (and people) dad with a fenced yard and breaks throughout the day to get all the two- and four-legged steps in. Happy to open our home to a few new furry friends to compliment our Aussie/Beagle mix and Jack Russell mix. We have a clean, smoke free home properly appointed for dogs with a fenced back yard and another Rover approved adult (my wife) as a work from home dog (and people!) mom too. Access to nearby greenways and a nice suburban neighborhood for all the walks and maybe an occasional run or two if your pup is up for it. I am a strategic business consultant with long blocks of uncommitted time throughout the day where I can provide walks and entertainment for your pup. Dogs are welcome to be my work buddies in our finished mother-in-law suite turned into an office above the garage. Ample access to the fenced backyard and a couple of built in playmates with our well-mannered Aussie/Beagle and Jack Russell mixes. We have a fenced yard with a doggie door leading from the main home. Dogs will also be restricted to the first floor of our home (no steps required for entry!) which is properly set up for pet care as we have 2 dogs of our own. My wife (also a Rover approved sitter) and I both work from home and are active people who love taking walks throughout the day. Clean, smoke-free home and happy to make reasonable accommodations for your pet upon request Just ask!
“Today was Willow’s first full day with Michele and she came home happy and tired from 2 walks and plenty of playtime. She’s ready to do it all over again tomorrow!”
About: I’ve watched and handled dogs for over a decade, and have the experience and strength to control large or energetic pets. I keep extensive notes on medical needs, diet, commands, and personality quirks for all the pets I watch so I can be sure they get the best care possible. I work part time, but my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a car and can travel to your home to watch and walk your pet, or take you pet to my home (as long as your dog is ok with other dogs). I live in a a fairly calm neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and grassy to take your pets to, and can walk your pet multiple times per day. I will also send you pictures of your pet with every visit or throughout the day so you're kept in the loop of how your pet is doing.

We enjoy outside time playing ball and going to walks around the lake and neighborhood My Boxer, Belle, is the friendliest dog you will ever meet! She is free to roam in the fenced in backyard as well as leashed walks around our neighborhood
About: I also invite friends that don’t have fenced in backyards to bring their small dogs to play in our fenced in backyard. No charge! Love small dogs. So sad that our last dog, a Cavalier passed away recently. I am home almost all the time. Dogs are never alone. I would treat them as lovingly as we have treated our deceased dogs. Cuddling with dogs is good therapy for them and us humans. We so miss all of our previous dogs. :( I am also experienced with dogs with disabilities such as totally blind and deaf. I am almost always home so pets are never home alone. We were so saddened by the recent death of our beloved Cavalier. Working with Rover has given me more dogs to love and cuddle. We have a home with a fenced in backyard, I would treat every dog as if it were my own. Love to take dogs on walks and play with them in the house and outside.
About: I’ve been a pet owner and sitter for well over 15 years now. My dog of a lifetime was a Great Dane that was my first baby and passed away just over a year ago. I’m very comfortable with seniors. I’ve been responsible for walking and feeding not only my pets, but also many neighbors and friends who have relied on me. I treat each animal like they are my own and make sure to give them the love and attention that I would want mine to have. I work part-time and create my own hours so I am able to enjoy the flexibility to work around the needs of my clients. This allows me to put your pet first. My husband also tag teams things with me. He is a school teacher and helps out as his schedule allows. I treat each pet like they are my own. I have a large yard and live in a family and pet friendly neighborhood that is amazing for walks. While your pets will get everything they need, they’ll also enjoy the company of a 3 year old beagle mix that was rescued at a week old. She is incredibly friendly and will provide great company for your pet. I follow all directions to a tee and will ensure your pet feels at home even when you are away.
About: I have taken care of my friends and families dogs for years and I genuinely love being active and would love to help you with your pups! I am able to walk and take care of your fur babies daily and weekly. I have an 8 year old son who enjoys being active too. I will give your pets lots of walks on the greenway and cuddle them at night. Provide me with details and we will make sure they are cared for.
About: I have 25+ years of all animal care! All ages! All types! I have worked in rescue with all types of animals as well as having a myriad of breeds and ages myself! I have cared for bottle babies to hospice and an excited to care for your baby just as you would if your could have them with you! I currently work out of the office so if needed, I can work from home or work from my rented office space and drop in when needed! Weekends for me are free as I have one child in college and one that is not interested in hanging with mommy! I have a fenced in yard (wood privacy) that my dogs love to run in and your fur-baby will too! I love to cuddle if your dog likes that or play ball or frisbee if they need to get the energy out! Don't worry.....you will have plenty of pictures for those fun shots that will set your mind at ease. (I'm a pet parent so I totally get it!)

Very professional and friendly. Yes I would highly recommend Ashley and wouldn't hesitate to use her again if I am in the area. Thank you again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets professionally and personally for years, with experience looking after up to two dogs at a time and as many as five cats in one home. I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs—from energetic puppies to shy or senior cats. I adapt quickly to routines, understand animal body language well, and always prioritize calm, attentive care. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free in your absence. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m flexible during the day for check-ins, medication, or just a little extra attention if your pet needs it. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I treat every visit as an important responsibility. I’m committed to providing a clean, calm, and safe space—whether I’m in your home or mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special needs. When walking dogs, I use secure harnesses and avoid crowded or overstimulating areas. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations and am always alert to their needs and surroundings. Building trust through consistency and care is my priority.

About: Hi! I'm Bridget. I'm new to Rover and recently moved to Davidson, but I've spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. As a dog mom to two pups with very different personalities and needs, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and cuddles, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I prioritize communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 Since I recently moved to Davidson and work part time from home much, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule and their needs. 🐾 I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's preferences, schedule, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, ensure your pet has plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. Safety is always my top priority. I'll use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, monitor pets closely, and make sure they have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and any medications or special care they require. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up in a pet-loving family, I have spent my life caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have personally owned and raised two cats and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with canines from their energetic puppy stages all the way through their senior years. In addition to standard dog and cat care (feeding, bathing, and exercising), I am highly comfortable with exotic pets. My background includes handling and caring for birds, lizards, fish, and snakes. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or scaled, I treat them like my own family As a college student home for the summer, my schedule is highly flexible. I can provide frequent potty breaks and constant attention. Making sure your furry friend has everything they need I treat all pets as if they are my own, and I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet has while they are in my care
“Katelyn took exceptional care of our senior pup,Koda. She was prompt with each walk. Katelyn made sure he was settled in before she left our home. She is #1 in our book. We couldn’t be more pleased with how she took great care of Koda. Thank you and we look forward to asking Katelyn to help us with future services.”
“I highly recommend Hannah! She took our dog Leo on a walk and was extremely responsive throughout the entire booking process. She very respectful of our home and easy to communicate with.”

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dog and cat breeds since I was old enough to stay home on my own. Professionally, since I was licensed, I have been pet sitting, walking and doing drop-ins for family, friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of several breeds and ages, with specialized care regimens. With cats I have a healthy experience and I still pet sit for a parent who has eleven cats, all with unique personalities and needs, and I live with two of my own. I posses the patience required to care for your pet who may require extra time, attention, and understanding to meet their care needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of advanced age who need specialized care such as medication administration, teeth brushing, incontinence assistance and working with hearing loss. Beyond older pets, I am familiar with dogs who may be unpredictable with others and have experience with redirection, avoidance and communicating to others to not approach. Finally, I have experience with anxious pets that require reassurance, quality time and play to be fulfilled by their sitter. I am currently not working outside of pet-sitting and have the time and drive to provide the level of care your pet deserves. My own cats are on a specific feeding schedule and do require my being home to feed them around 2pm every day. I aim to take all considerations into account to provide for you and your pet family. Clear communication and understanding expectations is how I may best serve your furry friends. I like to follow instruction to the letter and keep safety of all parties a priority. In this area of work my approach is to not guess if I do not know, better to always ask for clarity when uncertain and look for the same in clients.
About: Hi! I'm a dependable animal lover with a very flexible schedule and a soft spot for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy for both you and your pup. Expect lots of love, attention, photo updates, and a sitter who will care for your pet like family. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine while you're away. I'll carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life - playing, feeding, and cuddling! I love playing with my family's puppy and taking her for walks, and I work with her daily on sit, stay, and heel commands. I also have walked, fed, and done house visits for the dogs and cats of aunts, cousins, and neighbors. I love doggies big or small, young or old, energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, and I would love to meet yours. During these summer months, I am home from college and taking an online class, so I have lots of flexibility to visit and care for your furry friends. I am available weekdays anytime between early mornings and late afternoons, with the exception of Thursday mornings. I am usually available on Saturdays as well, and I will be in town for Fourth of July to visit your pets if you're traveling. My love for dogs and cats extends to my careful treatment of them. Since I grew up with pets and have done petsitting before, I have gained familiarity with how dogs and cats express their emotions and how to identify potentially harmful behaviors (for example, keeping your doggy away from raisins). I want your dog to have fun on their walk, your cat to get some well-deserved attention, and all of your pets to be safe and feel loved during my visit.
“10/10 Recommend Mary. She sent us lots of pics, and I know our 2 big boys were well cared for while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous but as soon as we met Mary we knew our pups would be just fine in her care. Highly recommend, and will be using her again! Thank you Mary!!”
About: Hello! I have been certified in animal heath care from Saddleback College in Orange County, CA. I worked as a vet assistant an animal clinic in my early 20's. I have also been a previous dog walker on Rover but wasn't able to reactivate my account with my old reviews. On weekends I volunteer with SAR K9 search and rescue. I have two goofy dogs myself that I adore and my full time career is one that would give you peace of mind that I am trustworthy as a person and professional. (Inquire if you want to know more!) I've been happily married for 15 years and have a 11 year old daughter. I've called Lake Norman my home for the last 10+ years! I have a very flexible schedule after I drop my daughter off at school in the morning (after 9:00am.) Much of my work is remote so this will fit into my schedule easily! I am comfortable caring for your dog according to your preferences! You let me know what they're like and what they do best with and I'll accomodate!
About: I grew up with animals all my life. Both cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve had two dogs whom I have loved and cared for. I have one now who is 9 named Petunia who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. She’s my world. I also frequently watch my mom’s Goldendoodle, Folly, who is almost 1 year now. I help friends and families with their animals but have decided to expand and would love to help with your animals! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to where I can check on your animals whenever. I’m only available for drop in visits but can do this 1-4x a day (depending on location) and can sit with your animals so they have company as well because I do this for my friend’s animals when they travel for NASCAR races on the weekend and are gone all day Sunday. I feel guilty leaving my pup so am happy to provide company for your fur babies! I am a licensed teacher and work in Ed Tech now. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am to meet beforehand as I fully understand any reservations as that’s how I am with finding people to watch my dog when I am needing it.
“Helen is dependable and caring. Twiggy (my dog) looked forward to her walks with Helen. I highly recommend her for taking care of your family🐶 Will not hesitate to have Helen take care of Twiggy’s again”

“Jamie was extremely flexible with dates when watching our pup. We ended up changing our plans midway through our trip, and she accommodated those changes. It made all the difference in our vacation. She provides regular updates with pictures and also gives the pups ample time to play. We will definitely request her again when we are going out of town.”
“Ashley was very personable, easy to work with, and was happy to watch Brady with short notice. She told me they took a long walk and Brady loved sleeping under her bed. I was comfortable leaving Brady and would again in the future. Thank you Ashley!”
“Lisa was communicative with my questions and even did a meet & greet so Lucy could meet her dogs. That gave me reassurance that Lucy would be comfortable with Lisa and her fur babies. Her house is clean and her yard is a haven for dogs! Lisa sent me periodic pics and let me know that Lucy was settling in nicely. The fact that she loves and cares for her own dogs helped me to know she is an absolute DOG LOVER!! I would absolutely recommend Lisa for dog sitting and boarding.”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Katie and her family took such good care of Gimli. Katie kept us updated with daily pictures and texts so we could relax and enjoy our time away knowing he was content. The kids and Shea and the enclosed back yard were icing on the cake. Heartily recommend.”
“Arya is awesome - highly recommend! She was very active and loving with our goldendoodle. She also was very communicative with pictures and letting us know how he was doing throughout the week. Definitely would book her again!”
“Thank you to Lipika for accommodating me with a minute request for overnight boarding! She was quickly responsive, kind, understanding, and empathetic. She sent me time-stamped videos throughout the day when my dog socialized and played, went for walks and ate. I appreciated the communication which made me feel that my dog was comfortable and in good hands with her family! My dog was very calm when I picked her up!! A good sign. Would definitely book again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. This lifelong connection has inspired me to continually learn and understand the unique needs and behaviors of different species. My experience in pet care extends not only to caring for my own pets but also to assisting family and friends, as well as volunteering in animal-related activities. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed a strong commitment to ensuring that every pet I care for feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where your pet can feel at home, even when you are away. I am dedicated to providing attentive and compassionate care tailored to the individual needs of each animal. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own hours. I am committed to doing my best to accommodate both your and your pets needs. I own my own house and have a large backyard. I also live close to two greenways and an open field. I also have the option of walking your pet around my community. When requested to take care of your pet at your place of residence, I will follow your instructions to allow your pet to follow your, his or her daily routine whether it be walking, playing, feeding, etc.
“I would definitely give five stars to Anamika! If it were possible, I would give her ten stars. She was a great surprise to us and Tião. We have used Rover many times, but we finally found someone who genuinely cares for our dog with love. I must confess that I thought my dog would not want to come back home after the exceptional service Anamika provided. Anamika is also committed to let you know how's your dog doing. We will undoubtedly use her services again in the future!”
“Libby really enjoyed her stay with Caitlin! We booked an overnight stay as a “trial” for a longer trip later this year since we don’t board very often. Caitlin really put me at ease. I’m looking forward to having peace of mind on my trip and will definitely book again!”
“Sindhu and her family loved our boys like their own. She sent lots of pictures and a video, and our pups were clearly having a great time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Alison and Richard were the perfect Rover sitters for our pup! Before the booking, they offered us the opportunity to come over for a visit to make sure we, and the dog, felt comfortable in their home and with their dogs. During the stay, they sent updates and pictures letting us know how Tucker was doing, without being asked. For a dog mom who treats her dog like a child, this was the most relaxed we’ve been with leaving him since our recent move. We also love that Alison is home with the dog 24/7, something we appreciate for our semi-anxious dog who is used to a kennel at home or staying with family. We will most definitely be using them for future bookings!”
“She was fantastic with our dog. She was professional, responsible, and provided wonderful daily photo updates, which we loved. We came home to a happy pup. We highly recommend them and will definitely be booking again!”
“Bri took excellent care of my 7 month old puppy on her first boarding of a few days. I appreciated how Bri kept me informed throughout how Maggie was doing and sent many pictures. Maggie loves people and animals so I am sure she enjoyed her time with Bri, her family and pups.”
“Lauren took the BEST care of my dog, Maverick! He’s very high energy and needs a lot of attention and he LOVED his stay, playing with her dogs & had so much fun swimming! My dog had never stayed with anyone but family, but he will certainly return to Lauren’s for day care & overnights! She was also very responsive and provided so many pictures and updates, which helped me have peace of mind leaving him for the first time. It’s so nice to have someone who treats your dog like their own while you’re gone which Lauren definitely did!”
“Mike was great with Buckly. He provided updates and pictures during his stay. Buckly had a great time walking and sniffing around the field. We will definitely be using Mike again in the future.”
“Joyce was terrific and took great care of our little guy. I really appreciated the regular updates and Joyce’s extensive experience in taking care of dogs and puppies. She was very easy to communicate with. Thank you Joyce!”
“Ashley was awesome ? ? ? She took amazing care of Willow who is an extremely energetic lab puppy who is learning her manners. I was very impressed with the whole process especially the daily updates and photos. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable leaving her while I was away.”
