“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“I am officially a repeat customer! Caroline is easy to work with and flexible when things need to change. I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie with her and her family.”
“I’d give Vicky 10 stars if I could. Lucy loved her time with Vicky and I felt at ease knowing she was being well loved. Vicky sent us multiple videos of Lucy, which made our time apart much more comforting. Many thanks to you, Vicky”
“We couldn’t be happier to have found Alyssa and Bryan to love on our two doodle boys while we were away! From the moment they arrived, our pups were showered with so much care and affection. Daily hikes, endless ball throwing, and constant cuddles. Alyssa sent the best photo updates throughout their stay, which completely put us at ease and showed just how much fun our boys were having. When it was time to come home, our pups were actually sad to leave! The energy in their home and on their beautiful property is warm and welcoming, and Alyssa and Bryan are simply the most wonderful, loving people. We feel so lucky to have them to watch our boys!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Bojangles had the BEST time with Laird and her son. During the meet and great she made sure all of us were comfortable with the space. During the time she had our pup she sent plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout the trip. Her son was so loving with Bo and it was obvious when I picked him up that he wasn't done playing yet. I think we've found a trusted sitter with Laird.”
“Kristin was great with our dog, Biscuit. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with for drop off and pickup! We received pictures during our stay and picked up a happy puppy. I would recommend Kristin to anyone!”
“Katie and Jeremy are absolutely wonderful- they have watched our dog a few times, and every time has been 10/10. They treat him like gold, and honestly probably give him even more love than we do at home… it’s evident in all the much-appreciated pictures they send. As people who have used Rover for many years, and received care from many different people, Katie and Jeremy are by far the best people we have been lucky enough to come across!!! <3”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Terri was amazing with our very active pup. She sent daily pictures and updates while we were away he was clean and healthy when we pick him up. They are great and loving people and I highly recommend them!!”
“Joseph and Andrea are so fantastic! Great communication before and during our pup’s stay. She had an amazing time and we would definitely trust them with our sweet girl again!”
“When I say this is the best sitter I’ve had my doodle comes back hydrated looking and smelling fresh and clean and most of all happy I appreciate the offer and beyond you are very kind and we are thankful Kay & Koko”
“Linda is friendly and knowledgeable. She has a beautiful home and a nice sized fenced in back yard. Missy enjoyed her stay and we will definitely have her stay with Linda again next time we need a care giver for her.”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of our guinea pig, and was consistent about communicating. It was easy to organize a meet and greet and she did a great job with him”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“Liliana was amazing! She communicated with me weeks before her visit to take notes and confirmed everything again the week she came. She sent tons of pictures during her visit and it’s clear my furbaby was smitten with her! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Jessie did an amazing job!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely prepared during the meet and greet. He was very thorough and asked insightful questions that really helped us prepare for taking care of Avey and Moose. I’m very happy with the service:)”
“Jenna was great! I was moving most of the day and needed someone to come check on my babies. She was so responsive and her recap of the visit was detailed (and super funny). I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Alex was so friendly and professional. I appreciate his thorough reports and all the photos. Alex made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten, knowing she was in good and capable hands.”
“James took great care of my two cats while I was out of town this past week. He picked up on their individual personalities right away and they both warmed up to him quickly - enough to administer daily medication to the skittish one. I'm grateful to have found someone with as much affinity for cats as James!”
“Ben is great! Punctual, reliable and responds quickly to messages. Our kitties love hanging out with him when we’re away. One of our babies needs daily medication and he’s handled it all! We’re very happy and grateful and will use him again!”
“Sam was fantastic! Communicative and kind, felt very comfortable having her in my home to care for my baby. She seems like a person that really genuinely try’s to bond and love your animal while you’re away- the ideal pet sitter. 5 stars all the way! ✨✨✨✨✨”
“Ariel is a consistent and reliable pet sitter who responds quickly to messages! I'm so very glad that she is taking care of Maggie for me while I'm away.....I know that Maggie is being well-cared for!”
“Sherrie was terrific with my cat Maynard. She played with him every visit and sent me photos and updated me on how he was doing. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our special needs cat and our home, and was able to accommodate our last minute booking when our other pet care fell through. She administered medicine three times a day, and was a proactive communicator who anticipated our needs. We received lots of photos of playtime & snuggles, and our kitty was relaxed and happy when we returned home from traveling. We definitely recommend Sarah for loving and competent pet care!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with my two kitties. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care and calmed all my fears of leaving them alone. She followed all instructions and communicated with me each day about how they were doing.”
“Marissa was wonderful with our two cats! She was very responsive, took great pictures, and really stepped up to help with extra visits and special instructions when one of our kitties wasn’t feeling well. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I am so happy we booked with Sarah! Not only was she timely and responsible, but she was a great fit for Piper! She sent several pictures during each visit and gave a thorough update every time. It was clear she spent lots of time time playing with Piper - she didn’t just feed her and leave. She also watered some of our plants. We are so thankful for Sarah and plan to book with her again!”

About: As a remote Registered Nurse (RN), I bring a clinical eye to pet care. I notice subtle changes in behavior or health that others might miss. I’m comfortable administering medications in any form, from pills to inhalers, and my own pets are on daily medication routines so it’s second nature. My background in farming gave me hands-on experience with animal health and handling, and I’ve worked with my own dogs on training from puppyhood. I’m home all day, every day, so your dog gets constant attention and care, not just a place to play and sleep. I work from home Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day. I have lots of time for walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and my job allows me to step away whenever your pup needs attention. I can work from my office or the couch, wherever your dog is most comfortable. On my days off I tend to stay close to home, and if I do need to run an errand I won’t be gone long and can always accommodate you and your dog’s needs. I share my home with three animals who are very well loved. Haddie is my 7 year old spayed terrier mix, about 22 pounds, and my two cats are Zuzu, a spayed senior, and June, who is 4 years old and also spayed. Each of them has their own dietary and medical needs, so I’m already in the routine of specialized diets and medications. Your dog will fit right into that level of care. Haddie goes out every two to four hours and we walk together every day. There’s also plenty of backyard playtime. The backyard is not currently fenced, but a fence is going up soon. In the meantime I have a post with a long leash line in the yard and keep Haddie on a harness. I am always outside with her when using the leash line and never leave her unattended, and will do the same for your dog. My home is clean, open, and pet friendly. The furniture and beds are fair game for your dog. I do have a dedicated cat room with a gate that only the cats can fit through, so they always have their own safe space. All of my houseplants are pet safe as well. I also live at the end of a dead end street near the cul de sac, so it’s a quiet area with only local traffic and no busy roads nearby.
About: I have cared for my own pets, and for friends pets, for as long as I can remember. I am completely comfortable with any age and almost any type of pet. When I was 16 I volunteered at a Vet office for over a year where I learned everything from injection to caring for sick and injured animals. I feel prepared for just about anything that comes my way. I’m happy to now offer dog boarding. We have 3 acres with 1 acre fenced in for the dogs to play. We are in a semi-remote location in East Asheville so there are no busy roads. We usually only take in friends dogs for boarding but we are opening up our home for dog day care or boarding. I usually would try and schedule my visits around my kids school drop-off and pickup. I can usually be flexible if there are special circumstances. I have a flexible work from home job that would allow me to schedule my day around your pets needs. Your rules are my rules! I am very respectful of the rules you have set around your pet. Whether it’s a strict diet or how you secure them in your home or no pets on future. You set the rules for your pet ;)
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with my pup, Biggie! She took care of him while my family and I went to the Biltmore and out to dinner, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She sent so many pictures and videos throughout the time he was with her, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured. She was incredibly accommodating, and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had the best time! Biggie went straight to sleep when we got home, which tells me he was happy, loved, and well played with. Alyssa and her family treated Biggie like one of their own, and it truly meant so much to me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again whenever we visit!!”
“Rick is very understanding and patient with dogs and overall a great person. His house and yard is very clean and set up perfectly for doggie play. He is reliable and was able to accommodate taking care of our Nazca last minute, and for this were are very appreciative!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I got into pet grooming at an early age and have worked and managed in a few different salons around Asheville, NC. I have extensive knowledge of animals such as keeping things sanitary and following strict schedules, diets and plans to fit the animals needs. I am currently available any day and am only accepting drop in visits and bathing at this time. I am new to Rover so I am looking for my first bookings. I can provide references of animals I have cared for previously. I can stick to a strict diet plan and bathe if needed. I will keep your home tidy during the visits and follow any instructions that are left with me.
About: I have two dogs at home. I have taken my oldest to puppy kindergarten when he was little and trained him and also trained my other dog as well. They are well trained and behaved. I am currently out of school and am looking for some side work while I try to get a other job. I have house and pet sat and babysat in the past so this would be easy. I have a beautiful big fenced yard to play and two very sweet dogs(one 12 year old boy and one 4 year old girl). I have a nice walk from my house I go on with my dogs often.
“Stephanie was very sweet and patient with my baby and I am so appreciative. She sent me updates throughout the day which I enjoyed. She was accommodating to my hectic schedule.”
“Golda was great with our dog, Cooper. He was with Golda part of everyday for four days. As we'd approach her home he would become very excited! Nothing better than a well-cared for happy dog! Thank you, Golda.”
“April is AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough! She is so kind and caring and my puppy Oozo just loves her. He gets excited to go there and comes home happy and content. If I could I would give her many more stars.”
“Jackie was the perfect match for watching our mini Aussie while we explored the Biltmore. We chose Jackie due to no other pets / no children and she lives close to Biltmore. Her experience working with dogs was important also. Ivey has separation anxiety and Jackie’s calming voice helped her acclimate. Plus the wonderful view and deck was added plus for Ivey’s entertainment. Jackie is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend her!!!”
“Miranda was super welcoming to my husband, myself and our pups. Our dogs loved playing in her large fenced in back yard! Yonder didn't want to leave!! Highly recommend Miranda, she's amazing!!!”
“Milendi was great. She was able to accomodate in a very short window. She responded quickly to the request and answer all my questions. When we arrived to drop off Scrappy, she was waiting for him. She let me know how Scrappy was doing. And when we came to get him she was waiting for us with him. He seem happy when we came to get him. I will definitely contact her again if we need to.”
About: I provide reliable, loving care for pets of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my hands on experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I’m patient and attentive- whether it’s helping a puppy with basic training or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable and cared for. I take time to get to know each pets unique routine, personality, and needs. From playtime and walks to medication reminders and calm companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for clear communication, detailed updates, and genuine care that gives you peace of mind every time. I typically walk everyday and I work remote two days a week. I’m always doing some outdoor activity on the weekends so walking and taking care of your pet fits in perfectly! I have a very secure home with a large fenced in backyard as well as a screened in back porch. We have bright flood lights in the yard so I can easily see your pet at night!
About: Between us, we have always had an animal in our lives - from ferrets and horses to cats and dogs. Pets simply make life better and there’s no better way to thank them than to shower them with love and affection. Your fur baby is guaranteed to be excited when they need to stay with us. Nichole was a professional dog walker in Boston before moving to Asheville, so she has experience with all sizes and temperaments. Jackson is certified in American Service Pet training as well, so you can rest assured they are in good, capable hands during their stay. We both work outside of the home - Jackson as a maintenance worker and Nichole as a doctor - so our fur babies are usually lounging inside or in our fenced in yard. That said, we always make sure one of us will be home when we have any pets staying with us. On the weekends, we love spending time out in nature, especially around bodies of water and would love to safely bring your pet along. When you trust us to watch your animals, we’ll follow whatever rules you’d like. They can run around in our fenced in yard or stay inside. We have a large crate as well if your animal prefers that. We have a Bernedoodle that loves playing with new friends, as long as they are not aggressive. We have two indoor cats that love playing with our dog, but would also not do well with an aggressive dog. We love to train dogs as well and are happy reinforce the work you are doing while they stay with us.
About: Hi! I’m Celeste — your dog’s new favorite auntie 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover originally from Denver, now living right in downtown Asheville with my 5-year-old “puppy” (yes, she still thinks she’s a baby). We go on daily mountain walks, explore the city, and spend way too much time cuddling — so your dog will fit right into our routine. I’m dependable, nurturing, and super communicative. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained the whole time. Whether your pup needs hikes, chill couch time, consistent structure, or someone who just gets dog personalities — I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐶💛 My schedule is super flexible. I’m home most days and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Because I live right in downtown Asheville, I’m able to pop in quickly for walks, check-ins, or longer stays. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often take last-minute bookings. If you need consistent care, overnight sitting, or a recurring schedule, I’m happy to make that work too — just send me a message! In My Home: I create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in downtown Asheville with my friendly 5-year-old pup, and we follow a steady routine of walks, playtime, and mellow downtime. Visiting pets get the same treatment as my own — constant supervision, lots of affection, fresh water at all times, and a cozy place to relax. I keep my space clean, dog-proofed, and stress-free so every animal feels comfortable and at home. In Their Home: I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them grounded and secure. I handle feeding, walking, potty schedules, medication (if needed), enrichment, and plenty of snuggles. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get updates and photos as often as you’d like. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away — no disruption, just comfort.
“Liney has a great day with Kristen! We were traveling and staying a few nights in Asheville. We wanted to spend the day at Biltmore- dog free- and everything worked out perfectly! It is obvious Kristen is a dog lover and all around good person. ?”

“Best decision ever, to have Jessie walk our little puppy during my work week. Way more than just a walk and my Ella loves Jessie so much! I learned a wealth of good information about everything from training to making my own dog treats!! Jessie has an amazing passion for all dogs. What a wonderful experience for Ella, my 6 month old Yorkie, and for us! I would also like to add that Jessie is prompt, trustworthy and kind.”
“Morgan was great with Willie. She communicated well and sent photos to let me know how he was doing. Felt very confident trusting him to her care, and would absolutely use her again.”
“Alice was wonderful! Quick to respond, punctual and my dogs are so happy. She was even able to handle my 150lb dog! I will certainly be booking her again and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Alex is an absolute gem- he is so kind with both our animals (even the one he’s not hired to care for!). He is very thorough and let me know each thing he did at our house. He we will definitely book with him again in the future 🙂 Thanks so much Alex!”
“My dog takes time to warm up to people and Levon has done a great job being patient and loving with my German Shepard! Levon is great at handling dogs and gives great updates on the walks!”
About: Been doing in home pet sitting since college and even stayed at farms caring for a whole range of animals! Love all types—big, small, wild, and docile. I currently work part-time and am mostly self-employed and am looking for ways to fill in my schedule. I am very flexible with more time during the weekdays. I will follow the needs of the pet owner in every case and how they care for their loved ones and depending on what kind of animal and their needs
“Louise is the absolute best! I was so nervous to get a rover for the first time; my dog is such an anxious baby. Louise was patient and loving, and they ended up becoming the best of friends 🥰 can’t recommend Louise enough!!”
“We were visiting Asheville and needed someone to feed and walk our dog while we were out for the evening. Joanna was the perfect choice! She made it so easy to set up a meet and greet prior and she took such good care of our dog while we were gone. The whole experience allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry. I would highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.
About: As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy. I currently work full time as a special education instructional assistant but I am flexible in the evenings (after 4pm), on weekends and during the summer. I take pride in following through with expectations with compassion and excellence. I also enjoy taking photos and sharing documentation of your animal’s wellbeing with you.
About: I am a natural caretaker with over 15 years of experience with cats, dogs, baby animals, farm animals, gardens, and house plants, as well as nannying and teaching at a preschool for the last five years! I deeply love to care for others! I will attune to your animals needs, keep your home tidy, and make sure your plants grow beautifully! I am currently a gig worker, while I work on starting my own business, so I am very flexible and can meet any of your pet and home caretaking needs! I provide a calm and caring but boundaried presence for your animals and my goal is that your home is cleaner and feels calmer than when you left it! I have years of farm experience and would love to provide garden care if needed as well!
About: I have two dogs at home. I have taken my oldest to puppy kindergarten when he was little and trained him and also trained my other dog as well. They are well trained and behaved. I am currently out of school and am looking for some side work while I try to get a other job. I have house and pet sat and babysat in the past so this would be easy. I have a beautiful big fenced yard to play and two very sweet dogs(one 12 year old boy and one 4 year old girl). I have a nice walk from my house I go on with my dogs often.
About: Hi, I'm Austin. I love animals of all kinds, though I currently have none of my own, so I'd love to hang out with yours ;) I am very attentive to the needs of both you and your pet. I will follow directions precisely to ensure proper care and that I meet your expectations. I'm more than happy to accommodate you and your pet. I have had dogs and cats (and even a fish) all my life, except for the past few years when I have instead opted to love other people's pets as my own by petsitting for friends and family. Please allow me to show some of that love with your pet, and I promise that neither you nor they will be dissatisfied! Most importantly, I will ensure that I cater to the needs of your sweet baby. I want nothing more than to chill with and take care of your scrumptious muffkins (was that too much? nah, that's just how excited I get about the prospects of meeting your pet-eroni!) Please reach out and we can talk about details - I'm more than happy to answer any questions! If you’re wondering why my latest reviews are from 2021, it is because I stopped dogsitting for the past two years due to my previous work schedule. Now I’m back in action baby! Rest assured that I’m the same person as I was two years ago, with the same about of care and love for animals, so I still intend to provide the highest quality of care! I’m currently a graduate student pursuing a Masters in Social Work. I attend school all day Mondays and Tuesdays, and am unfortunately unavailable those days. The other days, my schedule tends to be wide open, so please, book a home visit or dog walk! When taking dogs on walks, I ensure that the leash, harness, and collar are securely fitted. When caring for them within your home, I will make sure to follow your directions to a tee.
“Jennifer is a timely, professional, and communicative walker who went above and beyond taking care of my dog while I was working all day. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Growing up with several dogs I learned to appreciate the deep connection that animals provide from an early age. I have years of experience walking dogs (multiples included), boarding dogs at my home for family members and friends, and going on lengthy and level appropriate hikes with dogs. I love creating a welcoming environment for pets to have a comfortable experience away from their humans. :) I am available all mornings until 8:30 am for your early pet walking needs, and can board dogs at my home at any time during the week or weekends. I get off work in the afternoon and can provide playtime, feeding, and exercise around Asheville and specifically in the large city park next to my home. I am very comfortable crating dogs if requested. I do believe it creates a comfortable environment for them, but it is not required for them to stay with me. I do not have a fenced yard and they will be walked on a leash using the harness/leash requested and provided by the owner.

“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“I am officially a repeat customer! Caroline is easy to work with and flexible when things need to change. I feel very comfortable leaving my doggie with her and her family.”
“We couldn’t be happier to have found Alyssa and Bryan to love on our two doodle boys while we were away! From the moment they arrived, our pups were showered with so much care and affection. Daily hikes, endless ball throwing, and constant cuddles. Alyssa sent the best photo updates throughout their stay, which completely put us at ease and showed just how much fun our boys were having. When it was time to come home, our pups were actually sad to leave! The energy in their home and on their beautiful property is warm and welcoming, and Alyssa and Bryan are simply the most wonderful, loving people. We feel so lucky to have them to watch our boys!”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“Bojangles had the BEST time with Laird and her son. During the meet and great she made sure all of us were comfortable with the space. During the time she had our pup she sent plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout the trip. Her son was so loving with Bo and it was obvious when I picked him up that he wasn't done playing yet. I think we've found a trusted sitter with Laird.”
“Katie and Jeremy are absolutely wonderful- they have watched our dog a few times, and every time has been 10/10. They treat him like gold, and honestly probably give him even more love than we do at home… it’s evident in all the much-appreciated pictures they send. As people who have used Rover for many years, and received care from many different people, Katie and Jeremy are by far the best people we have been lucky enough to come across!!! <3”
“Kali was amazing. Our pups are 4 & 11 and this was the very first time we’ve left them with a non family member. Kali cared for them and loved on them as good or better than we would have and shared photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Joseph and Andrea are so fantastic! Great communication before and during our pup’s stay. She had an amazing time and we would definitely trust them with our sweet girl again!”
“When I say this is the best sitter I’ve had my doodle comes back hydrated looking and smelling fresh and clean and most of all happy I appreciate the offer and beyond you are very kind and we are thankful Kay & Koko”
“Kyle was a great pet sitter! She is super friendly, very responsive in communication, and provides steady updates on how things are going. Her dog, Louie, is a total sweetie and Raz obviously liked hanging out with him. Raz was happy and healthy when I picked him up, which is the whole point! I would definitely recommend Kyle and look forward to contacting her again.”
“Miranda is such a great communicator! We will definitely use her again. Oakley definitely had the greatest time and she came back super tired (which is an amazing thing to give us a little break when we got back lol) we just had moved here and found it difficult to find somewhere to board her but luckily we found Miranda on here. Thank you a million times!”
“Ethan & Hope were excellent communicators. Our pup was well cared for and had a great time playing with the other dogs. The yard is spacious and fenced in, with a beautiful garden. Would definitely recommend!”
“Gabriel was super accommodating and flexible when our travel plans changed and took great care of our dog. He even administered medications gave him lots of TLC in our absence.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I also worked in a dog kennel in college. Love being around animals as much as I can! I work a full time job so I primarily would have more time on weekends but I can make mid day trips home for potty breaks! I let animals roam around my home so they can feel comfortable. I have a large dog bed and food bowls already here along with a few toys and treats!
“Very sweet! Yuki loved staying with Megan. Megan was willing to care for my pup VERY last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful! Megan’s yard is perfect for dogs! Definitely will have yuki here again!”
“Stephanie was lovely to work with and we’ll use her again next time to watch Leo. Her communication was great, sent lots of pictures/updates, and I trusted Leo was safe in her hands. Thanks again!”
About: Growing up with two veterinarian parents, animals have been a central part of my life for almost 3 decades. I have extensive experience in caring for animals, including senior pets, and have two vets on speed dial! I work an on-call schedule largely from home, but there are times I am out of the house for work (usually 3-4 hours at a time). My dog is used to regular feeding hours, daily walks, and plenty of outside yard time. Your dog will have access to a fenced in yard, a friendly black shepherd for company, and plenty of couch space to rest. There are options for ball throwing, squeaky toy cuddling, and lots of air-conditioning vent laying. Feel free to drop off your pups favorite treats as well!
“I was so happy to have Jacqueline watch Magnus. This was the first time he’s stayed with someone he didn’t really know and he did great. I got updates throughout the day and she took him on so many walks. I could tell that Magnus was relaxed and having a good time. Will definitely be using her again!”
