“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Mrs. Brooke and her family are just phenomenal!!! The care and love they given our fur babies while we were away was just incredible. Mrs. Brooke kept us posted and sent updated pictures Highly recommend!!!! Thank you again Mrs. Brooke for your time and effort for caring for our dogs we def recommend and will use her services again!!!”
“I recently hired Michelle to care for my dog, and it was an amazing experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that Michelle is a true dog lover. She took the time to understand my dog's needs, which made me feel at ease. Throughout the stay, Michelle provided excellent care, ensuring my dog received plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, and videos showing that my dog was enjoying his time. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for anyone needing a caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like they’re my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Carrie is wonderful with my old, eccentric girl. She sends lots of updates and pics/videos, so I know my little girl is thriving. This was Minnie’s second stay with Carrie, and she settled in quickly. It’s such a relief to find such a perfect second home for our little Min!”
“Arleen and her husband John were fantastic! You can tell they are true dog people. They were very warm and welcoming and sent lots of photos / videos to keep us updated on Max. They're our new go to dog sitters moving forward. Thank you both so much again”

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!”
“I was hesitant leaving my pup with a stranger but Morgan had amazing reviews and communicated well while I was on a business trip. Put my heart at ease. Will definitely reach out to her again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Corn and Ella received from Rachel! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving your dogs behind, but Rachel made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish—we received regular, reassuring updates and loved seeing how content they were. Most importantly, both dogs were incredibly happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring, we cannot recommend Rachel enough. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”
“I deeply appreciate Brittany's excellent care of our pup Sox. Sox experiences a lot of separation anxiety, so seeing her completely at ease means a lot! We will definitely book again! ❤️”

Thank you, Melissa!!! You’re the best! :)”
“My Mom needed a cat sitter. Previously, she had some friends who would watch her cat for her, but this time they were unavailable. My wife and I had used Rover before, and I found her on this site. Kelly did a meet and greet and we had a really good conversation with her! We were confident in her abilities and commitment for my Mom's cat. She send photos (haha, some with some great commentary 😆) for each check-in. My Mom was able to get away with my wife and I, and have not have to worry about her cat being taken care of. We'll be sure to utilize Kelly again when my Mom is traveling. Thanks Kelly!”
“Emily went above and beyond caring for my cats while I was out of town. One was recovering from an injury and she made sure she got her medication and ate and drank well. Couldn't recommend Emily enough!”
About: A little background: I have been a pet owner since I was a child. I grew up on a small farm complete with horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, cats and of course dogs. I'm the current owner of a German shepherd, 2 Pomeranians, 2 cats, 5 horses, multiple chickens, and rabbits. I have years of animal handling experience through volunteering at the Central Florida Zoo and Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. I've also owned many exotic pets like turtles, fish and birds. My passion for animals has caused me to pursue a degree in environmental sciences and biology from the University of Central Florida. I love all animals and believe they should be taken care of to best of our abilities. I have many long time customer references available upon request. I live on a growing homestead that requires me to check in daily on my animals and pets. As long as I can check in on my farm we should be able to continue your normal pet care routine. In situations of conflicting schedules, I have an assistant available to help care for the dogs during the day. We can discuss our schedules and figure out what works best for everyone's needs. What you can expect from me: While your dog(s) is in my care I will provide them with the love and attention they deserve and will strive to keep them as close to their normal schedule as possible. I will prepare their food in whatever manner they are used to including any special instructions, dietary supplements, heating or mixing they may require. As the pet-mom of a Pomeranian with liver issues, I understand how important a consistent diet is for our pets and I promise to continue your dog's usual regimen. I will take your dog on potty breaks/walks as often as you request as I strive to keep to your dogs normal routine. I will send texts/pictures/emails/updates of your pets on request. I will respect your household and will leave everything as you left it. I will check mail, water plants, and care for other kinds of pets (cats, fish, exotics, small pets) at your request. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) and for the opportunity to provide care for them while you're away.

Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me.

About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
“Bethany was very accommodating to my schedule working 12 hours shifts and the terrible traffic. Then the care she provided for my fur baby was amazing! I was so thankful for the pictures and text throughout the day. Grateful for her experience and understanding of high anxiety pups. Will definitely use her service’s again”
“Papito loves spending time with Lawrence and Gabby. They have calm, positive energy and he always comes back happy. He's pretty headstrong and very high energy and it always feels like Lawrence and Gabby truly enjoy and appreciate him, which makes it easy not to worry about leaving him for a night or weekend. Plus they always send great artistic-quality pics of his time with them. We feel lucky to have found them.”

About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.
“Rachel has been so great with our anxious dog Jax! Rachel obviously loves dogs and knows how to care for a dog that is anxious/nervous. I feel totally comfortable leaving Jax with her! She checked in with me during Jax’s daycare to let me know he was settling in and provided other details.”
“Madison, Remington and Sweet Maggie made our Nyla feel right at home! She was hesitant at first but they were so patient with her. Their home is so warm and welcoming with a perfect little backyard that Nyla could in and out of at leisure. We loved getting all of the sweet photos and videos as well. Nyla was happy and appropriately exhausted when we picked her up. They will be regulars for us for sure!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. My family has always had a household of cats and dogs. When I was a babysitter I would also watch any animals needed of me. I have a golden doodle of my own named Ember, who has taught me patience and kindness. I also have a mixed puppy who loves the company of another. I currently work Mondays and Fridays. All other days are free, if you need me a weekend it needs to be 5 days in advance. I do not have a fenced In yard. I have two pet friendly dogs who I can put in a crate if needed. Anything your pet needs will be fulfilled with love and kindness
“Linda was easy to communicate with and accommodating to our circumstances. Unfortunately, I actually had to cancel with Linda before she was ever able to watch our pup. But, I feel confident that I’ll book her services again the next time we are in town.”

I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: I am a full time dog mom who has been blessed to have worked for a vets office doing daycare and boarding while I was in college, and found my way back to the animal world as a full time vet assistant for 6 years. I also started pet sitting for clients and friends a few years ago as favors and it has grown into years of house sitting either in my home or theirs. I love each pet as my own while understanding their different quirks and needs, while my training in the veterinary world allows me to medicate and take care of special needs babies if I need to. I am capable of taking care of all kinds of animals, as I also work at a barn part time with 12 horses. Although I am not a vet tech anymore I am in management in health care and I work full time but have available early mornings and evenings after 4:30. I also only work half days on Friday’s and have all weekends open. I workout at 5 am, 5 days a week so I start early! If your pet is with me, I consider it my own and definitely treat them all like family. I worked in the veterinary field in all positions for 8 years and safety is very important. Fun fact: both of my dog boys have modeled for Nutramax! I work full time but can walk at lunch time or after work, no work on weekends. If I’m staying overnight I’m already used to early mornings and taking care of pets before work. I will always take care of other pets as if they were my own, I love and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I enjoy being active or a lazy day on the couch, whichever your pet may need.
About: My 11 year old black lab passed away in 2023 and I’m looking to take care of your pets until I decide to get my own again.

I’m available most week days for morning and nightly attention. My weekends are wide open and ideal for pet sitting. Plenty of time for walking and hangout time. My property has a fenced dog run for play time and my apartment has space for a crate if needed. The neighborhood is great for walks.
“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I’ve been a vet technician since 2018 .I currently have 1 cat, 2 dogs, 1 parrot and even chickens, so I understand how important it is to give every animal attention, patience, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available evening. after my shift at the vet during the week and available on weekends anytime . In drop by visit, or sitting for a few hours. I love meeting new fur friends and am comfortable caring for pets with anxiety, disabilities, or medication needs. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to give every pet the love and care they deserve.
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 10 years old. I enjoy training, taking care of and snuggling all of them. I watch family and friends dogs when they are away as well. I will take care of your pup as if they are my own. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays and am off on weekends. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends with my own dogs and would love to have another join. I currently have a 1 year old doodle and a 6 year old lab mix. They are super sweet boys who love to play. I have a fenced in yard with all the toys you could imagine. I make sure my pups spend a lot of time outdoors as well as time inside getting loved on.
About: I've been around and cared for pets for over 15 years so I have lots of experience. I’m very playful and nurturing so they will have plenty of love and attention even when away from you. I work in fundraising in elementary and middle schools, so I am on a teacher’s schedule. However, that means I have full availability during the summer to take care of as many fur babies as needed! I have a large back yard so they have room to run. I also have a little dog who loves company so your baby won’t ever feel alone.
About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.
About: I have pets at for many years. I also worked at a dog kennel so I'm used to all different shapes sizes and breeds. I enjoy training my own dog. I also worked on a farm so I have some farming knowledge as well. I enjoy being an active person and taking pets out. I want pet Care to be able to be my full-time completely integrated daily routine I take care of my own animals but I would like to be able to take care of other people's full time. I do however start my program of study sometime in August. In a client's home I would strive to keep the same schedule for the pets because I'm sure that they are already stressed out when their people leave. This being same food bathroom routine making sure they get playtime attention.
About: I've had pets my whole life growing up I rescue pets and care for many to this day dogs, cats, horses and chickens, it's my life ❤️ I currently work Sunday Monday and Tuesday nights at chewy but I am available any other days for dog walking or pet sitting while you are away. I will care for your pets as if they are my own I will protect them and keep them safe while you are away from home.

“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Mrs. Brooke and her family are just phenomenal!!! The care and love they given our fur babies while we were away was just incredible. Mrs. Brooke kept us posted and sent updated pictures Highly recommend!!!! Thank you again Mrs. Brooke for your time and effort for caring for our dogs we def recommend and will use her services again!!!”
About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like they’re my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“Scarlett was absolutely amazing with our pups! Treated them so well! Updated us often with pictures, did great with the instructions given and adapted great on the fly when I forgot to tell her a few things beforehand. Will definitely bring my pups back again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Corn and Ella received from Rachel! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving your dogs behind, but Rachel made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was fantastic from start to finish—we received regular, reassuring updates and loved seeing how content they were. Most importantly, both dogs were incredibly happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring, we cannot recommend Rachel enough. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Last minute work trip and Erica was phenomenal at working Finnster in, even having her husband alter his work schedule to accommodate a drop off last min! Finn had so much fun as evidenced by the pics and texts! Def a 5 star stay and recommend!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“I deeply appreciate Brittany's excellent care of our pup Sox. Sox experiences a lot of separation anxiety, so seeing her completely at ease means a lot! We will definitely book again! ❤️”

“Bethany genuinely cared for our dog and his special quirks. She’s understanding, helpful and very reassuring throughout the initial meeting process and during the dog sitting process. We will definitely leave our dog with her again!”
“Lipika did a wonderful job watching Maple. Maple appeared comfortable at all times around her, and I would trust her anytime with my dogs! She sent frequent updates, accompanied by photos and videos, and she made sure to take note of her poops and behavior in case there were any potential health concerns. Maple also enjoyed playing with Lipika’s daughter, which I’m sure Maple loved. If you’re looking for a communicative and thoughtful sitter, Lipika should be your go-to!”
About: Hello! My name is Keri, I have had pets my whole life, including shelter rescues and fosters. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and a large selection of breeds. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my dogs are happy and most importantly, safe! As some pups (or pet parents) can become stressed or anxious with strangers, I will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort! Pet parents can be assured to receive lots of photos while their pup is in my care. I have worked in the medical field for 8 years, but my love for pets has started a journey to pet sitting. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! My schedule can be very flexible, and I am home most of the time, occasionally in the office nearby. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a new spacious home with lots of room for your babies. As I currently do not have a fenced in yard, your baby can play inside & outside, and go for walks! I treat your pups as if they were my own. Interacting with pets by giving them lots of love and attention. Pups are allowed on furniture and most all areas of our home. Each pup will be walked and fed on schedule. Special diets and oral medications can be administered if needed.
