You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she cares for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Jenna & Shane are professional sitters with warm hearts! Som is a Samoyed puppy with high energy, and while she may have caused some trouble, they kindly reassured us that Som was a good girl :) Their two dogs, Skye and Dash, are wonderful teachers for Som; they may have even taught her how to behave. We noticed that Som has become sweeter than before and well-socialized. Their place is beautiful, with a well-fenced, clean yard. Anything else? My puppy looks a bit chubbier and fluffier, which shows that she had a good appetite, thanks to their hospitality.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stokesdale
About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it. I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires. I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.
“I ABSOLUTELY adore Trya! My dog is a handful but Tyra has no problem with that! I get pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, I was hesitant about having someone else watch my dog but I know I made a great choice with Tyra. My fur baby loves going to day care!”
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 15 years as a dog groomer and pet care provider. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I currently offer overnight and daycare services, in a safe, loving, and low stress environment. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, medication reminders, potty breaks, or simply companionship while you’re away, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family in my home. Because of my grooming background, I’m experienced handling dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities including senior dogs, anxious pets, and dogs with special care needs. Safety, cleanliness, patience, and positive interaction are always my top priorities. I work around animals full-time, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to providing dependable communication, updates, and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I know every pet is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home and run my own pet care business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need, whether it’s weekday cuddles, weekend playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is strictly supervised and leashed, no exceptions. I provide plenty of potty breaks, structured walks, and engaging indoor play in a clean, cozy, and calm home setting.
“Jessica was incredible. We had a very last minute need and she was responsive, confident and we felt from the beginning that there wasn't a situation that she couldn't handle when it came to our dog. He can be a little anxiously attached and she didn't bat an eye. She was a godsend when we needed one!”
“Lutisa was very helpful in that I needed a sitter ASAP, and she agreed to take my Myra. I was so appreciative that I didn't have to leave her alone for many hours. She took very good care of her.”
About: We have had many different types of pets over the years and understand the worry of having someone care for your pets while you are away. We are here to help with that worry by providing your pet a loving, fun and safe environment while you are away. Our family consist of my husband, a son in college and a daughter in high school and myself. We have a 13 year old Beagle/Terrier mix who is mostly interested in chasing squirrels and naps. We have recently rescued a kitten who is a fire cracker and provides a lot of interaction and entertainment for other cats and dogs who engages with her. I am home full time and when the children are home both enjoy caring and playing with the pets in our care. Being home allows me to have eyes on your pets and be readily available and responsive. We are well off the beaten path with lots of yard to roam and other barn yard pets. We have a small farm with an area fenced for our dogs as well as a fenced pasture for our farm animals. We also can accommodate crates for those pets that prefer the safety of their known space. Your pet with be a part of our tribe when they are here and will be safe and have a great time. I welcome frequent contact and am very responsive to each pet and their owners needs. Your pet will get the highest level of care here on the farm.
“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter! She has kept my nine-year-old Maltipoo, Happy, several times. Each time, Stephanie went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and to ensure that Happy felt right at home. Even her poodle, Sammy, was the perfect "little host' and is now Happy's new BFF. The photo updates that Stephanie sent me throughout the day always brought smiles to my face as I could see how much Happy was enjoying himself as he and Sammy explored her lovely fenced backyard or sat together staring outside. I am so pleased to have found such a wonderful and safe "home away from home" for my little fur baby.”
About: Owned cats for over 35 and dogs for over 25 years. Have administered medication as well as brought sick/injured back to health. Familiar with various diet needs/restrictions. A lover of all breeds, I bond quickly with all animals (including the timid or mistrusting), due to my love for and patience with them. Will take time to play, walk and hang with them. Experience with crating, potty training and teething, and other behavioral training. I recently went back to college to complete my BA and now job hunting, so my availability is wide open. I am flexible and having my own three dogs, get up early and am used to letting them out early morning/late night. I can get to your home as early as 6 am and make my final visit as late as 9 pm. I can provide care in the owners or my home, as well as take them for walks (if owner agrees) and/or play in their home and yard with them. I will love on and treat your babies as I would my own. I do not believe in just feeding and letting out without also providing affection and play time, unless the owner strictly requests I do. My schedule is currently open. I am also working for an events venue part time. Connecting with and caring for animals is a pleasure for me and how I choose to spend a lot of my free time. I have a large fenced in yard for running and playing and three large crates and a small one, for those that feel they need that safe space. I also have a 15 x 15 pen outside if I need to keep any separate from each other. I also have four baby gates so I can rotate the room they are in without having to crate those that want to roam but don't get along with others well. I have cautiously and patiently introduced many animals to each other and also know that just like people, some get along with certain animals but not others.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life as well as smaller caged animals. I grew up with rottweilers and english mastiffs, so no dog is too big.

I can check on them at your house or bring them to mine, whatever is better and makes them more comfortable! I work in the evenings so I’m always available to check on your four legged friends during the day and am also able to come home during work to check if need be.

About: I’ve grown up with childhood dogs of all kinds from tiny chihuahuas and mini labradoodles to big breeds like Saint Bernards. I’ve learned that every dog is different, and their care really depends on their breed, personality, and routine. I’ve helped care for my siblings’ pets, looked after cats and dogs for neighbors, and I’m confident handling different energy levels, sizes, and needs. I’m also a runner, so I love taking active dogs on longer walks, but I’m just as happy keeping older or more anxious pets company and making sure they feel safe and calm. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m usually available for dog walks or check ins in the mornings, late afternoons, or early evenings, depending on the day. I’m great at keeping a routine and following instructions closely, and I’ll always make sure your pet is cared for on time. I always aim for safety and a trusting relationship with my pet owners. As so, I want to give full clarity that I recently moved into an apartment complex that does not allow pets in or about the premises. For any doggy day care needs, I would love to take your pets to a local park or walking trail for their socialization, exercise and mental stimulation. Please communicate if this arrangement will work for you and under what other conditions you would feel most comfortable.

About: I’m new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life—I’ve had a dog since I was 3 years old. I grew up with German Shepherds and have also spent a lot of time caring for smaller breeds like Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and Dachshunds through family. I have a genuine love for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I would truly enjoy the opportunity to care for your furry family member while you’re away. I’m a full-time graduate student during the day and work part-time a few days during the week, which means my afternoons are typically free. This gives me plenty of time to spend quality time with your furry companion and get to know their personality, needs, and routine while you’re away. In your home, I will provide attentive and personalized care to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of affection, as well as administering basic medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home tidy, follow any specific instructions you provide, and send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of pets for a very long time, growing up with a dog and as an adult having two cats. I love animals so much, and my biggest priority will always be their safety and comfort. When it comes to dogs, I've pet-sat and done drop-ins for many peoples pets these past years. I love going on long walks with dogs that need them, and I understand some have limitations and may just need to be let out to the back yard too. I also love to play with the more energetic ones that want to play. I'm very respectful of your space and privacy. I'll make sure that if I stay in your home to pet-sit, everything will be back they way it was (pr better) by the time I've finished taking care of your dog. I can also administer topical and oral medications for dogs, so if they need daily pills or to have their flea and tick preventative administered, I can absolutely help! I'm also happy to provide daily check-ins with you regarding your pet! If you need someone detail-oriented, attentive, and respectful of your pet's boundaries, then I'm here for you. I work part time and I can make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to either drop in to take care of your pets, or stay in your home with them! I'm happy to follow any instructions you leave regarding your pet's safety. If you need to ensure that child protective locks are always in place or that you dog gets crated at the end of the day, I can guarantee that will happen. I'm also very cautious of little escape artists, and will be sure that your pets are securely in your home as I'm leaving and entering.

“Angela and her family took awesome care of our guy! She sent a few update photos over the weekend with her adorable children and it made us feel so comfy and happy that they all had such a good time together!”
“Willie love his time there! We knew he was in good hands from the moment we met. If you need a sitter we wouldn’t recommend anyone else!! We will definitely be calling again for any future needs, they were great!!”
“She is absolutely amazing. Will be leaving my dogs with her from now on. Super communicative and sent pics and vids. My dogs were super happy and healthy when i picked them up. Super sweet lady”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter while I was away on my trip. Leaving my dog is never easy, but she made the entire process feel so comfortable and stress-free. She was very communicative, kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear my dog was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she cares for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Jenna & Shane are professional sitters with warm hearts! Som is a Samoyed puppy with high energy, and while she may have caused some trouble, they kindly reassured us that Som was a good girl :) Their two dogs, Skye and Dash, are wonderful teachers for Som; they may have even taught her how to behave. We noticed that Som has become sweeter than before and well-socialized. Their place is beautiful, with a well-fenced, clean yard. Anything else? My puppy looks a bit chubbier and fluffier, which shows that she had a good appetite, thanks to their hospitality.”
“Rachel was the best. She kept us informed of Maddie’s day by day activities and it was clear Maddie was part of their family. It took all of our concerns away and let us enjoy our vacation. Would always try to use Rachel in the future.”
“Katy was so great with our dog! It was the longest we'd left her with anyone, so we were all a little nervous. Katy sent us regular updates and pictures, letting us know the progression of how Lula was settling in. By the time we picked her up, Lula was ready to come home, but had definitely grown to love and trust Katy too!”
“I found Christopher to be genuine, caring and professional. Rudy isn’t quick to warm up to people, and he adjusted well to Christopher’s home. Christopher seemed take each dog’s needs into account to make sure everyone was cared for comfortable.”
“Tina was amazing with our pups! She was incredibly communicative, both prompt in her responses before booking and went above and beyond in providing regular updates about how they were doing under her care. Thank you, Tina!”
“Flavio and Melany were wonderful! I was so nervous since this was the first time I boarded my pups with someone that wasn't friends or family, and they were great! Sent me lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Helped my anxiety so much! Highly recommend - thank you Flavio and Melany!!”
“Maribel was so sweet with our dogs! I have one that is 14 so I do worry about her more when we leave, but it was so nice knowing that we didn’t need to worry about her while we were on vacation. I will definitely try to use her again!”
“This was a wonderful experience for Toulouse and me! She enjoyed the atmosphere and I we excited to receive updates and pics of my pup. I will definitely use Tulasi’s and her husband’s services again ?”
“Carrie and her family are amazing! She kept us updated with photos and all of Harleys activities. I couldn’t have found a better family for him to spend time with. He loves the children and the children loves him. We wanted him to be in an environment similar to our home and found that here with Carrie. Thank you so much! If I ever need help again, I’m always going to bring him here. She gave him a bath and even dried him up for us. He certainly was spoiled!”
“I reached out to Andrea for the first time to request a 5 day boarding for my spoiled pup - Koda. She was very responsive, and easy to work with, even in the short-notice I provided. I took a shot and booked the boarding with her, and dropped Koda off on Friday. Andrea took the time to sit and talk with us before leaving and allow Koda to get acclimated with the home before we left. As requested, I received updates and pictures throughout her stay. I could tell when I brought Koda home that she was well taken care of, and had plenty of play-time. She acted as if she hadn't been boarded at all, which was a first after having boarded with several others. I will absolutely be utilizing Andre's services as my "go-to" as long as she's willing to provide.”
“Taylor is amazing! She took such a good care of Canelo while I was at work, her dog Rêve played with him all day. It was wonderful to come home and have him tired out and happy.”
“My husband and I needed a few days away camping. It’s always difficult to leave our baby but knowing that Jane is taking such great care of him always makes it easier. The pictures and videos she sends always brings a smile to our heart!”
“I was hesitant to try new pet sitter because we already had used another one here on Rover but he was not available so we gave Tyra a chance as she was next closest. If you read this review and are wondering yourself, she was awesome from drop off to pick up! I got more pics than I think I ever have of Coco… I’m pretty sure Coco is laughing, smiling and chatting with her new furry friends in the pictures! Lol…. She played a lot! Didn’t seem stressed at all or overly tired. It seems she had the vacation you want your fur baby to have if they can’t be with you! 5 stars Tyra! Thank you again!!”
