“Very attentive. Our old girl gave him a pretty rough first night. He took great care of her despite her being the messiest girl in the room. I would definitely recommend to take care of your furry friends.”
“Amanda watched my German Shorthair I’m March 3025. She sent me personal messages and my dog seemed to be happy and well cared for. I would recommend Amanda and plan on using her again”
“Ashley, Jon, and the kids were AMAZING!!! Roman is a sneaky girl who likes to get into stuff and they took my warning serious unlike other sitters I've used in the past. I got lots of pictures and my babies had a great time. Will 100% be using then again <3”
“Samantha is a wonderful dog sitter!! Knox is always so excited when we pull up to her house and she loves Samantha, her family and their dogs. She keeps me updated every day with pics and videos. We are very grateful to have found such an amazing sitter for Knox!!”
“Gabriella is hands down the best! She took care of our baby like he was her own and updated me with pictures often! We will definitely be using her for future stays & referring friends! 🐶🐾”
“Larrisa did an amazing job with our two pups Bailey and Madeline. She did especially well with Madeline who is a senior and has mobility issues. She also had meds that she needed twice daily and soars on her feet from the way she lays. Larrisa changed and kept the bandages clean. She also trimmed both dogs nails. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time with Tiffany and Chris. They took wonderful care of our senior Jack Russell Toby. They honored special requests like walks, which he looks forward to. I Loved the constant updates and photos. I am so grateful we found them and certainly hope Toby will be welcome to return should we need a sitter again. Thank you ?”
“Tasha was a wonderful sitter! She took care of Ellie for 6 days and sent us pictures and updates everyday. We were comfortable leaving her and felt she was well taken care of. We will definitely book with Tasha if we need a sitter again!”
“If I could give Danielle and her husband 10 stars I would. Our dog hurt his leg two days before we were to leave on a eight day cruise and she took great care of him, giving him his medicine and making sure he didn’t jump, go down/up stairs or play too hard which anyone knows is hard in itself with a dog. She offered to take him to the vet if he got worse and kept us updated every day. They are amazing honestly and we definitely will be using her going forward. If you are looking for a groomer she has her own grooming business as well called Hugz-N-Kisses Pet Spa definitely check her out!!!”
“Marcia is an incredible person. I will always ask her to keep my fur baby before even asking a family member. My pet is so happy and comfortable with Marcia, I get a little jealous! 😊🥰❤️”
“Mya was a life saver for my family- her quick response for a last minute long term stay was incredible. Her attention to detail, compassion, communication, and unconditional love towards Aster and our family is something we’ll forever be so grateful for. Thank you to Mya and her husband for their support and handling of our beloved dog- I’d recommend her 100%. Mya was thorough and thoughtful on everything from bathing requests to making sure kitchen renovations were OK for Aster to go through… I trusted her knowing she had Asters best wishes in mind everyday. She made me feel so comfortable knowing Aster was safe and in good hands. Again, thank you so much- her 3+ month stay was greatly appreciated and we’re forever grateful!!”
“Natalie watched my two dogs, Rooster and River, for 10 days and did an amazing job! We looked forward to her updates and knew they were safe and having fun with her. I know they will be excited to see her again!”
About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.
“Raquel took Smokey as a last minute booking and was so helpful and accommodating. Her kids were so sweet and loved Smokey and when I picked him up he was so happy. Smokey would love to stay there again!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience working in two professional boarding facilities where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. During that time, I was responsible for feeding routines, exercise schedules, cleaning and sanitization, and giving pups the affection and enrichment they need to feel comfortable away from home. I’m trained in safely administering medications, monitoring behavior, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a laid back cuddler, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and cared for during every walk or check-in! Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine! I have dedicated daily time blocks specifically for dog walks and check-ins so I can consistently provide reliable care for every pet parent I work with. Fresh air and staying active are already part of my lifestyle, so bringing pups along for exercise and outdoor enrichment makes it even better. I prioritize clear communication and punctual visits, and I’m always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is having a great day:) Your pup’s needs will always come first! From potty breaks and playtime to gentle companionship while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they always feel secure while in my care. During check-ins, I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household rules exactly as you outline them. For walks, I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe areas or unknown dogs, and closely monitor your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. With reliable communication and detailed updates after every visit, you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
“Steve and his wonderful family took great care of Reese! She received lots of attention, cuddles, walks and play time! We felt very comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely book them in the future.”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”

“Jessica was amazing! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout our trip, and seeing how happy and comfortable my cat looked gave me so much peace of mind. She was always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my cat. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I work from home, so your pup gets constant care and company. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, tailoring my care to their needs. Plus, our friendly dog makes every guest feel right at home! I’m able to give pets attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening walks, yard play sessions, and plenty of snuggles are built right into my routine—so your pet will feel loved and cared for every moment they’re here. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of supervised play. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel at home. They get lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles—plus playtime with our friendly dog if they’re social. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and stick to the same schedule, rules, and routines their pet is used to. My goal is always to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Kevin did an excellent job caring for our senior kitty, including administering medication and visiting twice a day. He is reliable and thorough, and I highly recommend booking him for all your pet needs! Thank you so much, Kevin!”
About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!
“Leah was incredibly helpful when I had to leave town for a few days. She came over to meet the pups the day prior and I could tell she really cared about their well being. She sent pictures with updates which made my trip that much easier not having to worry about the creatures. Will use her again if I ever have to fly out of town.”
“Thank you for going above and beyond for Heath! You were there at the right time to get him out of the water and still feed him and give him his meds. Your a hero!”
“Angela has been wonderful looking after my kitties for me a couple of times while I’ve been away. They’re pretty low maintenance but she has taken extra care to let my timid kitty come out for a hello and a bit of extra encouragement with eating, which can lessen when I’m away. The updates and photos are always much appreciated!”
“My cat, who is normally shy with people, felt comfortable with Shawn right away. He spent a lot of quality time with her and I could tell through the photos he sent that she was relaxed and content. He was also prompt in communicating by text. Shawn has a great rapport with animals and I would definitely hire him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for several years and understand that every kitty has their own unique personality. From playful kittens to older cats who prefer a quiet cuddle, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I know how important it is to give them attention, enrichment, and love—whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply keeping them company. As a lifelong cat lover, I treat every cat like my own and pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. You can feel confident knowing your feline friend will be cared for with patience, kindness, and lots of purrs!

About: Experience: With over 20 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet like family. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care. I love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment, but I’m just as happy giving extra cuddles and companionship to those who need a slower pace. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved just like they would at home. Why choose me? I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely love what I do. I provide updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is in great hands. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I currently have full availability, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I’m very flexible and can easily follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet friendly home. I can accommodate crates if needed and always follow your pet’s routine closely. My two friendly dogs are well socialized, but I can easily separate pets if preferred. With my background in education and psychology, I’m highly attentive to behavior and individual needs, creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind.
“Samantha is wonderful with dogs! Our Corgi and Shiba Inu adored her and had a wonderful time staying with her. My husband and I could not have been happier with her care. We will be using her whenever we visit our relatives in the area :-)”
About: Hi! I’m Tiffany, and dogs truly are my passion. I’m the proud dog mom of three pups…two of whom are rescues. Through patience, consistency, and structure, I’ve worked through anxiety, reactivity, and other behavioral challenges with my own dogs. Those experiences have taught me that every dog is unique, and that calm leadership, routine, and understanding go a long way. When your pup stays with me, they become part of our family. ⸻ Why Dogs Love Staying Here 🏡 Large, fully fenced yard for supervised play and exploration 🐾 Three friendly resident dogs who help create a balanced, social environment (when appropriate) 🚶 Structured walks and individualized exercise every day 🚲 For dogs that enjoy it and are physically suited, I love taking them on safe bike runs to burn energy in a healthy, fulfilling way. 🧠 Daily enrichment, confidence-building activities, and mental stimulation 😴 Plenty of rest and relaxation so your pup isn’t overstimulated ❤️ Endless love, affection, and one-on-one attention ⸻ My Philosophy I don’t believe dogs thrive from nonstop excitement. They thrive with a healthy balance of exercise, structure, mental enrichment, rest, and affection. That’s why every stay includes opportunities to practice calm behaviors like waiting at doorways, relaxing on place, good leash manners, and appropriate play. My goal is to help your dog leave feeling happier, more confident, and more relaxed than when they arrived. Coming Soon: A canine confidence course designed to build coordination, confidence, and provide an extra layer of mental enrichment. I don’t believe in simply “watching” dogs. I believe in investing in them. Every stay includes exercise, enrichment, structure, and lots of love, so your pup leaves mentally fulfilled, physically exercised, and excited to come back. My days naturally revolve around dogs! I work from home most days, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. My three dogs are a huge part of my daily routine, and every day includes structured exercise, enrichment, rest, and quality time. I believe dogs thrive on routine, so each guest enjoys a predictable schedule that helps them feel safe, confident, and relaxed. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll tailor their day to fit their personality and energy level. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always come first. I have three friendly dogs of my own (two are rescues), and working through their unique personalities has taught me the value of patience, structure, and understanding. My home has a large, fully fenced yard for supervised play, and I carefully introduce dogs to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’m passionate about creating calm, balanced dogs…not overstimulated ones. Throughout the day we practice simple manners like waiting at doors, settling on a place, calm greetings, and respectful interactions. Every activity is based on your dog’s comfort level and individual needs. Exercise is customized for each guest. That might mean neighborhood walks, fetch, enrichment games, confidence-building activities, or, for dogs who enjoy it and are physically suited, a fun bike run with me. I always prioritize safety over intensity.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes, including puppies, adult dogs, and cats. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs.

I’m organized and reliable, so I’m able to stick closely to your pet’s routine and timing.

I communicate clearly and confirm schedules ahead of time so you always know when to expect me.

I care for pets in their own home whenever possible so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep a calm, attentive eye on pets during visits and walks. I treat every home with respect and maintain a clean, safe environment while I’m there. I’m mindful of potential hazards, keep pets away from unsafe items, and always prioritize their well-being. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience built on trust, consistency, and genuine care—for both pets and their owners.

I will offer daily and weekend (Thursday to Sunday)overnight stays, and will make sure your dog gets enough exercise. Meals will be in the morning (at about 8am), and evening (at about 5pm). We live on a large tract of land, over 8 acres, with a large outdoor kennel (10ft x 25ft). It has a portion of artificial turf, and is in the shade. We can brush your dog if you would like. A synopsis of your dogs likes and dislikes is helpful, as well their daily routine.

“Thank you Allena for doing such a great job taking care of Jackson! Would highly recommend you to anyone looking for pet walking, sitting, etc. I can tell that you are very good at taking care of animals of all kinds. Thanks again!”
“Leli has been walking Frankie for a week and a half now and she's been phenomenal! She sends multiple photos along with detailed summaries for each walk which I really appreciate. The care Leli puts into each of the walk "report cards" gives me peace of mind that my dog is being well cared for while I'm at work. I can tell that Frankie has been enjoying the time spent with his new walking buddy!”
“Took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She leaves such thoughtful, detailed messages for us to hear about how our dog has been doing. We appreciated her kindness and support for our anxious dog too”
About: I grew up with dogs as a kid. As an adult I’ve owned 2 dogs for a total of 4 years. The first I had for 3 years and had gotten him from a friend due to PCS. My current is a GSD that I got as an 8 week puppy who is currently over a year old that I trained myself. I currently work about 6-8 hours a day but have a short commute to work so if needed, I am able to check in on pets on a more frequent basis. I take my dog outdoors pretty frequently since he’s high energy whether it be on walks or for play in the yard. At least once a week, I take him somewhere public to work on his socialization and training with distractions. We train pretty frequently as well and have to say he does pretty well so if you’d like, I can assist in anything you’re trying to train. Disclaimer though, I’m not a professional trainer, only dogs I’ve trained are the ones I’ve owned. I live in a house with a pretty large fenced yard. I’m a big advocate for dogs getting activity, whether that’s physical like a walk or play outside or if it’s any kind of mental stimulation. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate while I am not at home. I would prefer the same of your pet to ensure safety of your fur baby while I am away. Once I’m home, I allow my dog to free roam the house and will do the same for yours. My dog has been around several dogs and cats and is very friendly, social and playful, however, if needed, I have the ability to separate animals that don’t get along to ensure their safety. If there’s any questions on care I provide, please feel free to reach out! I’m pretty flexible and will do my best provide the care your pet is used to/needs.

Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!
About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.
About: Hey! I love dogs more than anything and would love to take care of your dogs too. Please reach out if you need help on the weekends, I will almost always be free. I am available most weekends at anytime of the day. There is very little restrictions other than a few errands here and there. We can always work around your schedule as well. My pets have a daily routine that I very rarely go against. They are fed, exercised and trained every single day. Their health is more important than anything which is how I would handle your pets as well.
“We are so thankful for Holly and her help with Percy this week. She was super easy to communicate with and took lots of really great pictures! We will definitely be booking her again! Trusting people in your house and with your pets can be scary, but we trust Holly!”

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.
About: I absolutely adore dogs! I’ve had many dogs in my house growing up & two dogs of my own now! I’ve cared for toy sized dogs to large 90 lb dogs. I am more than happy to love your doggies, feed them, give them treats, practice training & administer medicine if needed! On top of that we will do plenty of walking and/or playtime. I have availability all day! Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I promise to always take special care of your doggy - just as I would want mine to have! I currently work as a nurse & am available 4 days a week for pet sitting, doggy daycare, walking, running, playing & loving for up to 25-30 hours a week. Boarding is also offered when my schedule allows! I have a fenced in yard & sweet fur babies of my own to keep yours company (: more than willing to go the extra mile to give your pup the love, support and play time that you would!
“Diamond definitely had a good time. She greeted me with a smile on her face even when I had to work later. Leah went above and beyond in the first meet and greet and I will be booking her regularly!”
About: Been playing and engaging every day with my four year old pup ever since we got her. She's a happy dog and we absolutely adore her. My goal is to provide that to other pets- the same level of love and care with freedom, exercise, and engagement. I'm currently working a Monday to Friday, 12 pm to 6 pm job. But the rest of the time, I care to dedicate time and energy to the pets when watching them. Pets are well taken care of by giving them the attention and exercise they need and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Providing them the physical and mental stimulation they need is my goal for a happy and healthy pet. And to ensure the owner is updated on our fun and engaged activities. One of the fun parts is to send videos and pictures of their happy pets.
About: I have done childcare for over 20 years, and now I want to focus on homeschooling my kids. Pet care is a natural fit for our family as we have had a dog and a cat for 15 + years. I will offer daily and weekend (Thursday to Sunday)overnight stays, and will make sure your dog gets enough exercise. Meals will be in the morning (at about 8am), and evening (at about 5pm). We live on a large tract of land, over 8 acres, with a large outdoor kennel (10ft x 25ft). It has a portion of artificial turf, and is in the shade. We can brush your dog if you would like. A synopsis of your dogs likes and dislikes is helpful, as well their daily routine. Open communication is our specialty and we will daily send you photos and updates of your pet, to keep you connected. We own a labrador, and love him to bits!! We moved from MN to NC in August 2022, and have a large piece of land for exercise, close to the beach (mins by car) and parks for walks. **If you need a longer stay it can be arranged** I homeschool my kids. One is older and needs guidance only, the other two are 10 and 13. Pet care is perfect, as homeschooling is flexible, and my kids love animals too. I am caring, loving and firm. I am great with scheduling, having run a childcare from my home for 18 years. I love to be outside and walk, so will enjoy taking my dog and yours, for walks. I am also an excellent communicator and would appreciate plenty of communication, if I left my furbaby with a sitter. :) Looking forward to being a home away from home for your furbabies.
About: I’ve owned cats and been around dogs my entire life! I had my first cat for 13 years since I was a toddler! Since I was old enough, Ive worked at multiple doggy daycares over the years with both specialized and normal pups! I also have two goldendoodles in my family that we take on walks, bathe, groom/brush, etc., but I only have my cat Mia Grace with me in Wilmington! I'm a student full time right now, but I only have classes at certain times, so with a flexible schedule i’ll have plenty of freedom to manage my own time, and the major upside, petcare is the most rewarding job with how cute they are! I have a fenced dog play area in my location, feeding times and keeping a schedule is also important, and I also know how to crate train puppies as i’ve had to do so with both of mine!
About: Hi! My name is Shay. I currently have two German shepherds and prior to living in North Carolina, I lived on a farm in Pennsylvania where we fostered rescue dogs of all sizes and breeds. I enjoy long walks, runs, trips to the dog park and dog beach. We have a fenced in backyard and we frequently leave the back door propped open so they have freedom to come in and out as they please. I have experience giving medications with dogs if necessary and potty training techniques and tricks. I am available on short notice and have flexible hours. I love puppy kisses and cuddles and believe our fur babies are a true part of the family. We allow our dogs to lay on our couches and beds. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals and give them lots of love and attention! I have a fully fenced backyard and so many squeaker toys and tennis balls to keep them happy. I also have two children that are animal lovers!

“Ashley, Jon, and the kids were AMAZING!!! Roman is a sneaky girl who likes to get into stuff and they took my warning serious unlike other sitters I've used in the past. I got lots of pictures and my babies had a great time. Will 100% be using then again <3”

“Larrisa did an amazing job with our two pups Bailey and Madeline. She did especially well with Madeline who is a senior and has mobility issues. She also had meds that she needed twice daily and soars on her feet from the way she lays. Larrisa changed and kept the bandages clean. She also trimmed both dogs nails. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time with Tiffany and Chris. They took wonderful care of our senior Jack Russell Toby. They honored special requests like walks, which he looks forward to. I Loved the constant updates and photos. I am so grateful we found them and certainly hope Toby will be welcome to return should we need a sitter again. Thank you ?”

“Mya was a life saver for my family- her quick response for a last minute long term stay was incredible. Her attention to detail, compassion, communication, and unconditional love towards Aster and our family is something we’ll forever be so grateful for. Thank you to Mya and her husband for their support and handling of our beloved dog- I’d recommend her 100%. Mya was thorough and thoughtful on everything from bathing requests to making sure kitchen renovations were OK for Aster to go through… I trusted her knowing she had Asters best wishes in mind everyday. She made me feel so comfortable knowing Aster was safe and in good hands. Again, thank you so much- her 3+ month stay was greatly appreciated and we’re forever grateful!!”
“Natalie watched my two dogs, Rooster and River, for 10 days and did an amazing job! We looked forward to her updates and knew they were safe and having fun with her. I know they will be excited to see her again!”
“Raquel took Smokey as a last minute booking and was so helpful and accommodating. Her kids were so sweet and loved Smokey and when I picked him up he was so happy. Smokey would love to stay there again!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience working in two professional boarding facilities where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. During that time, I was responsible for feeding routines, exercise schedules, cleaning and sanitization, and giving pups the affection and enrichment they need to feel comfortable away from home. I’m trained in safely administering medications, monitoring behavior, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a laid back cuddler, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and cared for during every walk or check-in! Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine! I have dedicated daily time blocks specifically for dog walks and check-ins so I can consistently provide reliable care for every pet parent I work with. Fresh air and staying active are already part of my lifestyle, so bringing pups along for exercise and outdoor enrichment makes it even better. I prioritize clear communication and punctual visits, and I’m always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is having a great day:) Your pup’s needs will always come first! From potty breaks and playtime to gentle companionship while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they always feel secure while in my care. During check-ins, I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household rules exactly as you outline them. For walks, I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe areas or unknown dogs, and closely monitor your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. With reliable communication and detailed updates after every visit, you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
“Steve and his wonderful family took great care of Reese! She received lots of attention, cuddles, walks and play time! We felt very comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely book them in the future.”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew. I grew up with dogs and now care for them through Rover because I genuinely miss having one around every day. I provide a safe, clean home with a fenced yard, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Side note, I do have a cat but she is an outside cat. I’m currently working 5am-1pm but I will be switching to night shifts around the end of July 2026, those shifts will be 3-11, 4-12pm. I also work right down the road so I don’t mind taking a lunch and running home to take out the pup for a potty break. I have a fenced yard, an upstairs and downstairs with a doggy gate leftover from our last dog, plenty of waste bags and dog leashes and some leftover toys. It is a very comfortable clean house.
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
