“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Nancy was wonderful! This was Link’s first time staying with her, and it was obvious from the start how comfortable he was. I think he would have happily stayed longer if he could! Nancy kept me updated with messages and pictures, and every time I heard from her, it looked like Link was having the time of his life. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and so well cared for. I highly recommend Nancy!”
“Yelena G was great. We scheduled a time to meet her right away. My husband and I loved her house and fenced in yard. Turbo loved her dog . Yelena sent us daily pictures and videos of our dog, Turbo going on walks and playing ball in the backyard. We have already asked her to take care of our dog again. She is a real gem.”
“Caitlin is terrific! My dog loved her and she took great care of my dog. Great communication and very accommodating. Will definitely be leaving my dog with her again!!”
“We left our dog with Bri for the first time for 5 days. She was accommodating and sent updates with pictures every day. Our dog did well with her and her dogs and family. I would happily use Bri again.”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Honestly super impressed and happy with Onelia. She treated our yorkie with so much love and the best care. Our dog needed a medicine administered at the last minute and Onelia was great about it. Attentive, easy to work with, and gave us peace of mind with updates/photos. 🤍”
“Megan was a great sitter and helped us out last minute. Dakota definitely enjoyed his time with her and we’re grateful for her ability to sit with him would definitely book with her again. She kept us updated every day and was very flexible with us as well.”
“This was our first boarding experience with Rachel and it went beautifully. Our dogs were well cared for and even received a doggy bath on pick up day. Communication was very efficient throughout the process, plus Rachel also gave me several tips on how to use the Rover app., making it even easier. We have already booked our two dogs to stay with her next month.”
“Dennise watched Stormie with quick notice. She was kind and accommodating. She was responsive during the time Stormie was boarded and she provided me with pictures and updates to keep my mind at ease. Even when Stormie had a few accidents, she continued to provide the best quality care. Her assistance was much appreciated!”
“Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.”
“Great experience. Sent daily communication and pics. Seems to have a lot of experience working with dogs with unique personalities and needs. Veronica and family will be at the top of our list when we look for boarding in the future!”
About: Hey! I provide a personal and a home away from home style pet care experience for my boarded fur babies where there is even a built in 4 legged friend here for them to play with (my sweet dog). For my drop in clients I provide loving attention and basic necessities during my visits while your pets are in the comfort of their own home. I provide text message updates and photos throughout their stay and during my drop ins to keep you informed and give peace of mind about your fur babies while you're away. I work 4 days week and will have plenty of time to spend with your pups so they get that personal care regularly in the comfort of a home setting verses a boarding facility. I also have a dog that loves to play with others. When I am home dogs are free range through out the house and play time with my pup or snoozing on the couch. Your pups can also enjoy nice walks outside or some lounging time in the fresh air on the tie out.
“Olivia again provided great care for our pups! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, always provides updates and the dogs are comfortable with her in her home, which is impeccably clean!”
“Thaissa watched our fur baby for five days and she was fantastic! From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, she was so kind, patient and loving with our dog. You can tell she really loves animals. I felt extremely comfortable and happy leaving Mackie in her care. She gave us updates and sent pictures twice a day. I would 500% book her again in the future.”
About: I have three of my own senior babies that I love with all my heart, and I am looking to spread that love to your babies as well. I have experience with pets of all ages, but caring for seniors is one area where I excel. I am very patient and gentle, and I am very diligent about routines (especially when it comes to medical needs/medications). I currently work from home have the ability to incorporate visits within my daily schedule. I am also free on weekends and can provide extended or multiple visits when needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home, and even when my dogs are outside, I am always watching them to ensure they are safe, which I would also do for your family. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would be sure to take your loved one outside on a secured leash.
“This by far has been the best experience for boarding , Peta is very professional. She accommodated around our times for pickup and drop off and was top notch with status updates. I will continue to use her services in the future. Thank you again Peta for the wonderful experience!!!!”

“Aaliyah did a great job taking care of my cat, including giving her meds! I enjoyed the daily pictures and reports from Aaliyah, it was very appreciated and helped with my peace of mind.”
About: I have three rescue cats of my own, all of whom I brought home when they were under 12 weeks old. I’m very comfortable caring for cats at different stages and understanding that every cat has a unique personality. I have experience with feeding, fresh water, scooping litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that some cats are social and playful while others need more time and space to feel comfortable. I’ll always respect their personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have experience with family cats as well as checking in on others. While they may not need walks, it's important that cats get the daily affection and care they need as well! Whether it is feedings, treats, freshening up the litter box, or any other needs, I would love to help with your fur baby.
About: I have always grown up having a cat! I currently have my favorite boy, Moe who’s a 5 year old mainecoon with the wildest personality. From snuggles to zoomies, he does it all. I promise to love your babies like my own!
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: I have a deep, natural love for animals and a very nurturing, calm presence that pets quickly connect with. I treat every fur baby like my own—paying close attention to their energy, emotions, and unique personality. I’m especially great with affectionate, attached pets who need extra reassurance, cuddles, and companionship. Whether your pet is playful and full of energy or more sensitive and needs a gentle approach, I adjust to what makes them feel most safe and comfortable. I prioritize creating a peaceful, loving environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. I’m consistent with routines, feeding schedules, and any special care instructions, and I stay very observant of their behavior to make sure they’re happy and thriving. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and real communication so you can feel fully at ease. My goal is for your fur baby to not just be “watched,” but genuinely cared for, understood, and loved the entire time.
“Kyla is the best! This was a last minute reservation and she was so great at assuring me that my cat would be well taken care of! She checked in and sent multiple updates throughout her visits. She was so friendly and great with my kitty!! I’ll definitely be reaching out for any trips I take in the future.”
“Kennedy was very consistent with communication and always quick to respond. She showed up on time every day to let our dog out at lunch and called me as requested when she had a concern. She took the time to come meet us beforehand as well since we initially thought we would need her for an overnight visit, and followed my (very detailed) instructions to care for our Nemo since he had some blisters on his paws. Thank you, Kennedy, for doing everything we asked on such short notice and for always keeping me updated!”

About: 👋🏼Thanks for taking the time and swinging by! My husband and I each grew up with dogs and also had different kinds of pets (hamsters, lizards, fish, turtles, cats, dogs, birds) while the kids were growing up. We understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet(s). 🐾We offer boarding, daycare and drop-in visits, ensuring your pets get consistent care tailored to their routine. 🏡We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced-in backyard where your dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, explore and do their business. 🐶🐶We are the proud pet (grand)parents of two sweet, 15-year-old sister dogs. Because they are seniors, they cannot hear very well anymore. They are very gentle, and a little shy but friendly. 💖Your pets will find a peaceful, patient, and understanding environment here. Whether your pet is staying at our house or we need to drop by, they will receive attentive care. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Gina is currently “retired” since we recently moved to the area. We usually go to the gym early in the mornings and Michael works from home. 🌳We have a nice sized well manicured back yard that is fenced in. There is also plenty of room in the house for more dog beds or crates if needed.
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”

About: I have taken care of my household dogs for over 20 years now. I joined the military in 2016 as a dog trainer and instantly fell in love with the profession. When I separated from the military in 2022, I continued to board pets as well as train dogs for private companies as well as for my business. This is my full time job, so it is not about how your pet fits into my schedule because my schedule revolves around your pets! I live in a 3 level home where I have one level dedicated to boarding and training. So it’s plenty of space to run around inside, or outside on my 1.3 acre lot. I will provide continuous updates and transparent communication.

I love to create an open space that your pet is familiar with! Keeping the same routines and providing extra loving if they get anxious is key when they are around new people. Allowing them to sniff and get comfortable without pressuring them.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from growing up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles to volunteering at local shelters, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy puppy or giving extra love and patience to senior pets, I know how to make every animal feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and lots of cuddles. I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality, every tail wag and purr makes my day! I love spending time with animals and make sure they’re a part of my day whenever I’m available!

About: Please note: my med sized chocolate labradoodle Farley would accompany me on any overnight stay bookings. He’s highly trained, gentle, hypoallergenic, and well behaved. He gets along with all dogs big and small. I’m a dog lover and experienced dog owner who regularly helps care for my neighbors’ dogs in addition to caring for my own Labradoodle, Farley. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, supervision, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I take pet care very seriously. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine, personality, comfort level, and any instructions provided by their owner. I especially enjoy providing a calm, home-based environment and personalized care rather than a high-volume setting. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life. I spend a lot of time at home with my Labradoodle, Farley, and my routine includes walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention. I have a flexible schedule and prefer to keep my bookings limited so each dog can receive personalized care and supervision. I provide a calm, home-based environment with a fully fenced approximately 1/4-acre yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a doggy door, which allows dogs who are comfortable using it to move between the house and yard easily. I supervise dogs closely and follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs. I keep my bookings limited so I can provide plenty of individual attention and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and house rules and provide the same attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and updates.
About: I have three of my own senior babies that I love with all my heart, and I am looking to spread that love to your babies as well. I have experience with pets of all ages, but caring for seniors is one area where I excel. I am very patient and gentle, and I am very diligent about routines (especially when it comes to medical needs/medications). I currently work from home have the ability to incorporate visits within my daily schedule. I am also free on weekends and can provide extended or multiple visits when needed.

“A true blessing! She works so well with our pup and takes wonderful care of him. She is great at communicating and quick to respond. Couldn’t recommend her any more!”
About: 💗 Experienced, Compassionate Pet Care From Someone Who Truly Understands Animals 💗 Hi! My name is Lindsay, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 9 years. What started as something I naturally loved doing for family, friends, neighbors, and their pets has grown into my full-time passion and business, Pawley’s Pet Services. I’m currently continuing my education and training to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, which has given me an even deeper interest in understanding animals not just physically, but emotionally and behaviorally as well. I love taking the time to learn who each pet truly is — their personality, communication style, routines, fears, favorite activities, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic puppies, large dogs, senior pets, shy or anxious animals, rescue pets, and multi-pet households. 🐶 Puppies & Young Dogs I understand how much attention and consistency puppies need. I’m happy to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, exercise, feeding according to schedule, and plenty of one-on-one attention while helping maintain their normal routine. 🐕 Senior Dogs Senior pets deserve patience, gentleness, and extra understanding. I’m comfortable adapting walks and activities to their energy levels, providing companionship, following medication instructions when needed, and making sure they remain comfortable and cared for. 🐱 Cats & Kittens I absolutely love cats, too! I’m comfortable caring for kittens, senior cats, shy cats, independent cats, and cats who need medication or additional attention. Whether your cat wants interactive play, enrichment, cuddles, or simply someone nearby for quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐾 Large & Multiple Pets I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and have personally had experience caring for multiple large dogs at once. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households and understand the importance of giving each animal individual attention while keeping everyone’s routines consistent. 💊 Medication & Special Care I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering oral medications to dogs and cats when needed. I understand that some pets require additional patience, monitoring, or specialized routines, and I’m happy to discuss their individual needs during a meet & greet. My experience includes: • Dog walking and exercise • Drop-in visits • Overnight/in-home pet sitting • Puppy and senior pet care • Cat and kitten care • Oral medication administration • Feeding and medication schedules • Potty breaks and enrichment • Caring for multiple pets • Large and energetic dogs • Shy, anxious, and rescue animals • Maintaining pets’ normal routines • Frequent photo and video updates One of the most important parts of my care is getting to know each animal as an individual. I don’t believe there is one perfect approach to every pet. Some animals want constant play and attention, while others need space, patience, and time to warm up. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can meet them where they are. My training in dog behavior and intuitive animal counseling is something I’m especially passionate about because I want to understand the why behind an animal’s behavior rather than simply reacting to it. I’m always learning more about canine behavior, communication, enrichment, and the emotional needs of animals so I can continue providing better care. 📸 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How Your Pets Are Doing I send regular photo and video updates throughout my visits and stays. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, happy, loved, and receiving plenty of attention. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I also treat your space with respect. I’m happy to follow household routines and instructions, bring in mail or packages, water plants, and help make sure everything is secure while you’re away. My goal isn’t simply to be the person who feeds your pets while you’re gone. I want to become someone your pets recognize, trust, and genuinely enjoy seeing — and someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need dependable care. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and learn what makes them special. 💗 Pet care is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about and dedicate my time to every day. I run my own pet-care business, so caring for animals is a major part of my daily routine. I’m currently building my experience while studying to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, and I love being able to apply what I’m learning to the pets I care for. My schedule is flexible and I’m often able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight/in-home care depending on my existing bookings. I do keep a limited number of bookings at a time so that I can give each pet the individual attention they deserve rather than overbooking myself. I’m especially interested in building long-term relationships with families who need recurring walks, drop-ins, or regular pet care. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance and work with each family to find a routine that works well for both them and their pets. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, understood, and loved while their families are away. For dogs, this can include walks, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, feeding according to their schedule, fresh water, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication when needed, playtime, enrichment, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I’m currently studying to become a dog trainer and intuitive animal counselor, so I pay close attention to animal behavior and body language. I believe understanding why an animal is behaving a certain way is an important part of providing good care. I’m patient with shy, nervous, anxious, energetic, senior, and rescue animals and always allow them to adjust at their own pace. A Note About Meet & Greets and Overnight Stays: For safety reasons, my fiancé, Bradley, normally accompanies me to my meet & greets and stays with me for every overnight pet-sitting booking. This is an important part of my personal safety policy when I’m staying in a client’s home while they’re away. I want to be completely transparent about this upfront so every family knows who may be present in their home. Bradley is my fiancé and safety companion, while I remain the primary person responsible for your pets and their care. I’m always happy to discuss this with you before booking and make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routines and respect their space and belongings. I’m also happy to follow household instructions, bring in mail or packages, water plants, and help keep the home secure while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident that they’re receiving the care and attention they deserve. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for in their own home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, attentive hands.

About: With an extensive animal care and sitting background, I bring thoughtful service to all my clients.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities.

I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to provide personalized care, patience, and attention to make them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work three days a week in healthcare, and on my days off, I dedicate my time to providing exceptional care for pets. This schedule allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow each pet's regular schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and bedtime to help them feel comfortable and secure.
About: Hello! My name is Allie Hochman, and I am a lifelong animal lover! I grew up in Davidson and began working with animals since I was a little girl! In college, I started my professional training journey and have since had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals including guide and service dogs, working dogs, and family fur babies! My pittie, Pete, has been my partner in crime since I adopted him in 2020. He became my training partner and still helps from time to time, although these days, he much prefers his spoiled couch-dog lifestyle! I am passionate about helping people and their furry family members build strong, happy relationships and live life to the fullest. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a fun walk, or help with training, I would love to help. I am also happy to assist with medication when needed, with a conversation beforehand to ensure I understand your pet’s needs and instructions. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I strive to provide them with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Allie Currently, I am available on Sundays and Mondays. Tuesday through Saturday, I am available at 5pm and later. I am in the process of building up more availability! Please don’t be afraid to ask if I am available outside of the times given above. I always like to meet potential clients prior to our first appointment. We can set this up through rover. I want to make sure your pup is comfortable and is familiar with me as well as meet you and discuss what you are looking for in a sitter / walker / trainer! I utilize positive reinforcement. So, if your pup has a favorite toy or treat I will make sure I have it noted and include it in my visits! We will discuss you and your pup’s needs through rover and at our in person meeting. I always treat everyone with respect and kindness. This extends to your home, pets, and belongings.
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have breeding experience as well. I would love to care for you pet and love them like I do my own. I will have summers off starting in mid-June. My evenings right now are pretty open along with some weekends to care for your pets/pets. Evenings would be after 5 pm until June -mi-August. I have a fenced yard, open areas for walking and playing. I have a dark park nearby as well as a large walking path. I can accommodate your needs for your pets.
About: I've been pet sitting since I was 15, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I provide attentive and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I also have a soft spot for cats! Recently, I helped raise two puppies--a Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever--gaining hands-on experience with training, socialization, and all the patience that comes with it. I am well-versed in puppy nipping and over-tiredness. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or extra care, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy! As a college student, my schedule is flexible--I’m usually done with classes by mid-day, so I’m only away for a few hours at most. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so I understand the time, attention, and love pets need. I’m generally available any time and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for! I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet in my care. At my home, I have a small fenced-in yard for secure playtime, plus access to a larger open area for supervised exercise. I’m also just a two minute walk from a spacious, fenced-in dog park—which is perfect for dogs who love to run and socialize! My neighborhood has wide sidewalks, making it ideal for safe and enjoyable walks. For pets staying with me, they’ll also have the company of my friendly Golden Retriever, who loves making new friends. If your pet prefers their own space, I can easily accommodate that as well. My Golden is crate-trained, so I’m comfortable with crating if needed.
About: I’ve worked with cats, dogs, chickens, rats, beardies, snakes, fish, and horses since I was a child. I love all animals and sometimes think I understand them better than humans I have full availability but I do love to travel! I intend to use what I earn here on Rover to explore and experience the world! My priority it always comfort and kindness for a pet! I believe pets communicate their needs effectively and we need only pay attention to know what they need

“Jamie was beyond accommodating when our flight plans changed and we had to keep our sweet Laney with her an additional night than originally planned. She was very responsive and communicative and diligently sent us lots of wonderful photos of our pup playing fetch, walking, and playing with her dog. Her large backyard is perfect for dogs who need to run during the day. We hope to use her again in the future!”
“Scarlett was great. She took good care of Murphy and sent me pictures each time I requested. I was a little nervous given the number of dogs that were there over the weekend but she handled it like a pro! Murph was happy and exhausted when we picked her up :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“I booked with Michael for three nights, and it was a great experience. He takes great precaution to ensure that your dog and his dog are comfortable and happy throughout the visit. He also only takes in one dog at a time which provides assurance that no unknown dogs will be staying with yours while you are away. He takes them on regular walks, and provides text and photo updates throughout the day, especially when there is something cute that he knows you can't miss out on. I would definitely utilize Michael's services again.”
“Katie is a wonderful sitter. She took great care of our 2 pups (including our older dog who receives medications daily), made sure our dogs got along with her dog and kept us posted while we were out of the country. She was also very flexible when our flight was delayed. Overall, Katie is very caring and we would not hesitate to leave our pups with her next time. I highly recommend Katie as a dog sitter.”
“This was our first boarding experience with Rachel and it went beautifully. Our dogs were well cared for and even received a doggy bath on pick up day. Communication was very efficient throughout the process, plus Rachel also gave me several tips on how to use the Rover app., making it even easier. We have already booked our two dogs to stay with her next month.”
“Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds—including cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens—which taught me from an early age how to care for different animals. I truly consider pets to be a part of the family, and I look forward to treating your pup with the same love and devotion I give my own. I am a proud owner of two wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Samoyed and a 6-year-old Pomsky. Because I work from home, I am around all day to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of loving affection. Why My Home is a Dog Paradise • Massive Yard: Your dog will have full access to a 1/2-acre, completely fenced-in backyard perfect for zoomies, fetch, and safe outdoor exploration. • Spacious House: Inside, there is lots of open space for your dog to stretch out, play, or find a cozy spot to nap. • Full-Time Supervision: Since I work from home, your dog's safety and comfort are monitored throughout the day. My Services • Doggy Daycare: Perfect for workdays when you want your dog to have company, playtime, and a huge yard to run in. • Boarding (Overnight): A comfortable, cage or cage-free stay where your dog is treated like a member of our family. Because I work from home full-time, our daily routine is flexible, highly attentive, and packed with a perfect balance of structure, play, and rest. Secure 1/2-Acre Yard: My large backyard is entirely fenced-in and securely gated. Leaving your pet with someone new requires immense trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Growing up with a wide variety of animals and managing my own two dogs has taught me how to create a highly secure, stress-free, and structured environment.
“Olivia again provided great care for our pups! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, always provides updates and the dogs are comfortable with her in her home, which is impeccably clean!”
“Ginia and her family were so great in caring for Gerty. They sent regular updates and photos. When I picked up Gerty I could tell she was genuinely happy and completely exhausted, which is the best assurance I could’ve asked for! I would absolutely use Ginia again. Book with confidence!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve potty trained puppies, taken dogs on walks, fed them, played with them, and given them plenty of attention and love. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. I also have three rescue cats of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely available outside of those hours. I’m available for evenings, weekends, overnight boarding, and daycare, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I can also provide extended weekend care when needed. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, food, and care. I’m respectful of every home I enter and will treat your space and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’m also comfortable having pets stay at my apartment for boarding or daycare and will make sure they are safe, supervised, and comfortable throughout their stay.
“Henry had a good stay at Norma’s and although he really does not like to be away from us he seemed to be fine when we picked him up and also later when we got him home; he fell back into his routine very quickly. Norma is very knowledgeable about dogs and made several suggestions during our meet and greet that made the transitions and stay that much easier. We will use Norma again when we need daycare or short term boarding.”
About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I’m a 20-year-old community college student with a genuine passion for caring for children and animals. I’m transitioning from working in hospital housekeeping into providing reliable, compassionate in-home care for babies, children, dogs, and cats. I have experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for neighbors while they were traveling, making sure their pets received plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their families were away. In addition to pet care, I have hands-on infant-care experience from caring for my nephew since birth. I have been heavily involved in his daily care, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, keeping him on a routine, and providing constant supervision. Caring for him has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of the responsibility that comes with caring for an infant. I also want to be completely transparent with families that I have a 2-year-old toddler who would accompany me during overnight sits. He is calm, well-behaved, and very easygoing. He has his own routine and would not interfere with the care I provide to your children or pets. I would always make sure your family members, pets, home, and routines receive my full attention and respect. My goal is to give families peace of mind by treating their children and pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with the people and animals you love most. I am available 7 days a week, from mornings through overnight care, and I’m happy to work with families who need flexible scheduling. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can help! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!
“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”
“I felt as though Crystal cared for my pup as though it were her own, and she was extremely good at sending me pictures and updates about my pup’s stay. We’ll be back!”
“Bethany and her family are great. We boarded our pup for a holiday weekend and did a meet and greet and Bethany is very attentive and detailed and keeps you in the loop. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. Will definitely reach out for her help in the future!”
“Jasmine is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is so sweet and caring. You can really tell this is a passion of hers. I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her!”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog Theo with Brenton! He was responsive, professional, and very kind. He kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout Theo’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Theo seemed happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I picked him up. Brenton clearly has a natural way with dogs, and I really appreciated the calm environment he provided. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Will definitely book with him again!”
