“Rowdy thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Abby and her dogs. He was well cared for and Abby was great about sharing pictures and videos of his fun-filled stay. Choosing Abby again for future stays will be an easy choice.”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“This was the first time I used this service. Rachel did such a great job at keeping g me at ease. She sent me photos of my babies while I was away and kept me updated. I highly recommend Rachel!”
“June took such great care of my highly active dog Zozo. She did an awesome job learning Zozo's needs and adapting to make her stay care free. I will definitely use June again and highly recommend her for other people in need of some dog or cat house sitting.”
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Allan is great, very communicative and kind. I never worried about my dog Penny the entire weekend and was able to enjoy myself. Definitely would recommend Allan, and I will be a repeat customer.”
“Zurijanne is so amazing! I am so blessed to have found someone with such a wonderful home to look after my fur baby! I highly recommend her if your sweet playful puppo needs a wonderful home of friends to play with!”
“Suzanne is wonderful. She kept in touch the whole time our boxer was with her. She has tons of room for a pup to run and play. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior as well and I never worried about anything. We will be using her again!”
“Cindy was great. She helped us out when we needed someone quick. Sam seemed like he had a wonderful time with Cindy! Sent updates as to how he was doing thoughout the night. Definitely will have Cindy watch Sam again if needed.”
“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“We are so grateful to have found Lisa to care for our dog, Lilly! She watched Lilly for four days and was absolutely amazing. From the start, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to be able to get away and not worry about the care Lilly was receiving—we knew she was in great hands. Lisa went above and beyond, and we could tell she truly cared about Lilly. We’re moving soon and only wish we had found her sooner. If you're looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter, we can't recommend Lisa enough!”
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
“We are so glad we chose LaTonya to care for our Molly! She sent lots of pictures and kept us in the loop with how Molly was doing. We are grateful for her caring for our pup and would recommend her highly!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have a cat who has been my best friend for 12 years. I have lived with dogs and adore them!

I will follow your safety instructions for your home and be sure to open the door very slowly to ensure your pet doesn't run out of your home. Happy to help with bringing the mail in when I visit.

I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him and would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! 🐾❤️”

“I’ll be booking Samantha every time I go out of town from here on out! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and she fit me right into her schedule and was such a pleasure to have look after my sweet girl! She sent me updates daily with lots of pictures that really put my mind at ease while away from home. 10/10 recommend her services!!”
“The best Rover for any pet! My cat loves them. Communicates clearly at all times, answers diligently, follows instructions, remembers important facts about your animal.”
“Kendall helped us out on short notice today when our regular dog sitters weren’t available,and gave updates on our dogs after each visit. She was prompt and we are thankful for her help!”
“Always great communication and willing to a few extras when you schedule is a little haywire. Easy to work with and Lucy is very calm upon our return so we know she is feeling comfy with Chloe. Attention to detail and cleanliness are other factors we love. Will continue to request her services for Lucy as we travel.”
“Autumn was very conscientious and prompt about keeping me informed as to how Rudy and Smudge were doing. She had a couple of small challenges and handled the situations very professionally. Loved the twice daily pictures, too! Will definitely ask Autumn to care for my cats in the future and would recommend her to others.”
“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“Stephanie was my in-house cat sitter for a month. I was super impressed with her thoughtfulness, thorough communication and great attitude. My cat can be moody, but she managed him for the month and gave me regular updates. And she left my house in spotless condition with fresh linens, which was greatly appreciated after a long trip home. She's simply a great sitter.”
“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”
About: I have always felt a drawn to all different animals. Especially dogs and cats. I love being around them. I feel that every dog I have ever encountered has been drawn to me, even if they were resistant at first. Unfortunately I do not have many pictures of myself with dogs so I do not have a lot on my profile! I have taken care of more dogs than cats although it doesn’t look like it! I will take care of your animal like it is my own. I’m currently working full time at a school! I work 9-3 everyday and I am home on Fridays. I would have more than enough time before or after work to be able to take care of your fur baby. I love going on walks and would love to be active while having a friend to be with me! I care for pets like they are my own. I will care for each pet in the ways that they need. Each pet is different and likes different things. I will accommodate to their wants/needs and do what feels best for them!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
“Amy was awesome! She took wonderful care of our elderly cat while we were away for a week, even sent us daily updates and pictures. We would definitely use her services again! Highly recommend!! ??”

As I work from home I have a lot of availability and flexibility to fit your schedule! We have a fenced in yard with dog door access. Your dogs will have as much access to the inside, or outside as you or they would prefer. Our two friendly pups will love to play either way.
“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Mable must have enjoyed her stay because she was relaxed and not scared at all! I would highly recommend Rachel and her kids! Thank you again for keeping my baby while I was in town!”
“Emily was awesome to deal with. Very friendly, great communication and flexible with time. My dog really enjoyed his time with her and will be going back next time we’re in town!”
“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
“I was nervous leaving Minnie for the first time with what is essentially a stranger but we are strangers no more! Minnie had a blast and loves her new friends. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs.

Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home.

About: A life long animal lover, I've had a variety of pets throughout the past twenty years. I have cared for, trained and loved horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodents. I majored in Biology in college and took several animal science classes. I was a horseback riding instructor for summer camp in college, and have volunteered with different animal rescue orgs over the years.

I'll come by to get them moving, burn off some energy, and break up their day with a fun, refreshing walk. Puppy & Kitty Drop-In Visits: From playful kittens to energetic puppies, I provide dedicated check-ins to handle feeding, fresh water, quick potty breaks, litter box scooping, and plenty of love and attention. Out-of-Town Vacation Care: Going away for the weekend or a longer trip? I can drop in multiple times a day to ensure your pets maintain their normal routine in the comfort of their own home—giving you total peace of mind while you're gone
About: I’d love to help you out by taking care of your fur baby! I’ve had and cared for several pets throughout my life including dogs, bunnies and cats. I’ve been responsible for meals, medications, walks and more! I’ve also trained dogs for a year on invisible fences. I’m that person that gravitate towards the pets at a gathering! My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I have open availability everyday including weekends. I’m available at all hours and can flex my schedule to meet your pets needs! At this time, I’m on a no pet lease. I’m happy to come to your house to feed you fur babies, walk them and send photo/text updates!
About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.
About: I treat animals like family. I have had to rely on dog walkers and sitters in the past and know how important it is to get good caring help. If you need someone to help with your pet, I am the person. I have been an elementary teacher for almost 25 years and am very reliable and honest. I have a 2 year old golden doodle who is very socialized and loves other dogs. We have had dogs in our home for more than 20 years. We treat them like family and will do the same for yours. I would love to help with your doggie needs while your away. Thank you for the opportunity. I can do dog walking during school as I can walk in the morning and after school .
About: I have owned a dog since I could remember, every time I see a dog, my head goes out the window because I am such a dog lover. I will not only treat your dog like a pet, but like a member of the family, as he/she is a member. I will walk your dog, feed, in-home visits, etc. It would be an honor to be able to be around dogs all day. I would love the opportunity to keep your fur babies safe, healthy and having fun throughout the day. I have plenty of experience raising a dog in the family and I will treat your dog like my own family dog. You can ensure that you can put your fur babies trust in me.

“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”

“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have a cat who has been my best friend for 12 years. I have lived with dogs and adore them! I know how to look out for signs of distress and keep the pet areas tidy. I work from home and am happy to do visits before noon and after 6pm. Please let me know if you need a time outside of that! I will follow your safety instructions for your home and be sure to open the door very slowly to ensure your pet doesn't run out of your home. Happy to help with bringing the mail in when I visit.
