“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every pet I watch. I treat them like family, giving them love, attention, and patience so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I love being outdoors and frequently walk around Lake Choctaw, so taking your dog along for exercise, fresh air, and extra attention would be a bonus for both of us! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family! I provide a safe, loving environment for every pet in my care. I have three children who are respectful of animals and one small, friendly dog. I have two cats that stay in the basement with my nephew. While my yard is not fenced, pets are never allowed outside unattended and are always supervised on walks, potty breaks, and outdoor playtime. I follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully.
“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”
“I appreciated that the pictures I received were actual interactions with Bethany, rather than "the dog is alive" pictures. Also, she held tough with the feeding instructions and the little beggar actually lost some weight.”
“Kelsey was great with our dogs and was very responsive. Our dogs seemed very comfortable there and came home wiped out! Will definitely plan to take our dogs to her again!”
“Great communication and provided regular updates. Oreo seemed very happy & relaxed upon pickup after the stay. Would definitely book with Amber again in the future.”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”

“Stacey and her family took great care of our pups. She sent photos and gave regular updates of how they were doing. Both dogs were happy and comfortable in their home.”
“Emily was so sweet and did an amazing job taking care of Ellie. She was very understanding and an overall great Rover sitter. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much Emily.”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Hasber. He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was also very flexible when I asked to extend the stay on short notice. She came home tired, which is not easy for an aussie!”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Olivia is an angel! We were in desperate need of a boarder and she came through for us even though she had some conflicting plans. She did a great job with our dog! Wonderful area and amazing care. Highly recommend! Thanks!”
“Ashley was so accommodating to us and she was amazing with Dani. We are so thankful for her taking good care of our girl for the weekend!! Will definitely book with Ashley again ☺️”
“Benny had a great time with Brittany and her family! We appreciate the photo and video updates so much--it was so nice to know that he was having fun and being well cared for while we were away!!!”
“Angela was a 100 out of 10! I don’t even think our dog wanted to come home after spending the week with her and her lovely family. We received great photos and updates on our girl daily which made it really easy to enjoy our vacation. As an extremely particular couple, with no children, Lux is the center of our universe and felt completely at ease while she was with Angela. We’ve found someone who we can completely trust and there is no greater feeling than being able to truly relax and know the most important price of your heart is being cared for. Thank you Angela and family!!! Lux misses you already!”

“Gretchen was terrific! We really appreciated how well she cared for our cat, who has a few quirks as an older, formerly feral kitty. She was kind and caring toward her and patient. Would definitely recommend Gretchen for your pet care needs. It was comforting to know our cat was in good hands while we had to be out of town.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job! And even our shy kitty came out to see her on her drop ins. Thanks to her, we were able to travel without worry, because we knew our senior cat would get his medicine. Thank you so much!”

About: I’m a dog (and cat!) mom looking for a fun way to keep myself accountable on my health journey! I’m a 41 year old mom to a teenage boy, a 9 year old yorkie mix (Severus), and 8 cats! I’ve been on a journey to better myself for the past year and one thing I make sure I do is get my steps in.

For sitting/drop ins, please inquire. For boarding, pets will be with me all day and night. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love, treats and toys! If you book me for services, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend. Feeding schedules followed as provided by pet parent to ensure your pup is getting the required amount of food. My dog eats freely except when I’m boarding as to not disrupt any schedules. I currently have one dog (Severus), who is a yorkie mix and 10 total cats, some indoor/outdoor/mix. Our home gets hectic but we love our animals and can’t imagine life any differently.

“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter for our puppy, Alexis. We met her ahead of our initial booking for her to get to know our dog and for our dog to feel comfortable around her place and with her lovely puppies. Everything went well and she took care of Alexis for a day. She kept sending lovely pictures and videos of Alexis playing with her and the dogs. That gave us peace that she was having a good time. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend her.”

“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Kelsey was great with our dogs and was very responsive. Our dogs seemed very comfortable there and came home wiped out! Will definitely plan to take our dogs to her again!”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“Emily was so sweet and did an amazing job taking care of Ellie. She was very understanding and an overall great Rover sitter. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much Emily.”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Ashley was so accommodating to us and she was amazing with Dani. We are so thankful for her taking good care of our girl for the weekend!! Will definitely book with Ashley again ☺️”
“Angela was a 100 out of 10! I don’t even think our dog wanted to come home after spending the week with her and her lovely family. We received great photos and updates on our girl daily which made it really easy to enjoy our vacation. As an extremely particular couple, with no children, Lux is the center of our universe and felt completely at ease while she was with Angela. We’ve found someone who we can completely trust and there is no greater feeling than being able to truly relax and know the most important price of your heart is being cared for. Thank you Angela and family!!! Lux misses you already!”
“Liz was so wonderful! Our pup had a health emergency on the second day and she quickly took him to our vet and got meds for him. She then had to deal with his upset stomach and a sick pup. I'm so thankful she was so amazing! She dealt with it all like a pro and really cared for our dog.”
“As always, Kathy is so very diligent with updates and communication. These days, our Ella can get very down when we’re away from her - not finishing her food, using the bathroom etc. Ella is forever comfortable with Kathy and is always tuckered for the days following a stay with her. Her yard is absolutely perfect, her home is very clean and she always welcomes with open arms!”
“Bo is always comfortable and calm with Waffles’ family. Never a shortage of cute photos of the two of them having adventures! They’re our go-to!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of my dog River over Christmas, lots of updates & photos & very individualized care, River seemed to love hanging out with Rachel’s family & came back very calm and happy!”
“We were very pleased with Amber. She was very attentive to Bubba. Her girls made bowties for him. Amber sent lots of pictures which set me at ease. Looking forward to many more stays.”
“We are so grateful for Gretchen and her family's willingness to watch our furry toddler incredibly last minute. After having the rug pulled from under us by a different Rover hours before a flight to meet our family, Gretchen came to our rescue and took good care of our goofy, large, rescue GSD.”
“We highly recommend Beth!! She provided the best care for our rambunctious golden retriever while we were away. She was always quick to respond to texts and provided us with a photo to ensure he was doing great! Again, can't thank her enough for being there with relatively short notice and providing such awesome love and care for our pup.”
