“Dawn was a godsend for us! We had to unexpectedly find arrangements for our dog so we could travel for a funeral, and Dawn responded immediately and was so kind, gracious, and accommodating with our short notice. She not only took care of our dog, but loved on him while we were away, and sent lots of photos and updates. We are so grateful to have found Dawn and Rob to take care of Shadow, and will definitely use them again!”
“First time using rover or any boarding service. I started looking on Rover for a last minute sitter had an emergency. Here I got the care fory dog planned out quickly. Hasber is friendly, good with animals, and regular communication for duration of pet stay. The environment was friendly and spacious for Exercise. I got photos of my pet and updates on my pet's day. I felt comfortable leaving my pet, and he was happy when I came to pick him up.”
“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Brittany and her family. She's wonderful about sending photos and videos of Benny, she's flexible, and she's great to communicate with! Best of all, I know Benny is getting great care! (And if he could talk, I know he would say that he agrees--he loves his time with Brittany and her family.)”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Lizmarie. She invited us to do a meet and greet before the official booking to ensure our dogs got along with her children. She updated us with photos whenever we asked. It is obvious she has a lot of experience with dogs and she genuinely cares for them. I would definitely want to book with her again and would recommend her to any of my fellow pawrents!”
“Amy and her family are wonderful!! She is kind and caring and my Kona felt like part of their family. I could not leave a higher recommendation. Thank you, Amy. It was sooo appreciated. Kona loved it!!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”
“Amber was really great with our dog Emmy! We hadn't used a pet sitter in awhile and were nervous to try someone new, but Amber answered all of my questions right away, took the time to do a meet and greet first, and provided excellent communication throughout the stay. I felt very reassured that my dog was getting lots of attention and care, and we greatly appreciated all the updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend her or use her again in the future. Thank you!”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“Zephyr had a great time with Cindy! Even though he was a bit anxious at first, he felt comfortable in no time. Got lots of pictures and knew he was in good hands.”
“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“Kelsey is absolutely wonderful! I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with her when I go on vacation. Her place is perfect for dogs — the yard is huge, and there are other friendly dogs for mine to play with, which makes the stay extra fun. You can tell Kelsey genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She’s responsible, communicative, and treats my dog like one of her own. I’m so thankful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and caring environment for their dog!”
“Rachel is a very caring sitter. Our two dogs were very nervous with their first time away from us and had multiple accidents, and she handled it kindly. She’s an awesome option and an avid pet lover.”
“Kaya had an amazing stay with Bethany. She got to run around outside to her hearts content. Bethany followed the medicine schedule that was needed, and also sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day. Will def use her services again!”
“Amazing host and sitter , super nice backyard for dogs to play , super communicative and understanding, i would have these guys watch my pets any day !!”
About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.

“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Kaylee was wonderful with our boy Lukas. It was a first time we ever left him home while out of town. Kaylee was thorough in communicating and did a great job keeping Lukas on schedule with walks and meals. Knowing Kaylee was reliable gave us security and peace of mind.”
“Cameron is absolutely amazing. I have brand new puppies and she made me totally comfortable with taking care of them for me. She is super responsible and responsive! I’m definitely recommending her to my friends and family.”
About: I have don’t cat sitting for many years for family and friends. I am not able to own cats of my own as my dog does not enjoy their company (the one thing we disagree on) but I have always enjoyed spending time with the cats in my life via others. I am happy to clean litter boxes, as well as bring a book and offer a calm presence for any cats who need that extra care. I am a remote worker and am able to work from your home during the day as long as there is wifi.
“Shelby was absolutely fantastic!!! She took amazing care of our two kittens and our home while we were away on vacation for the week. Shelby was so easy to communicate with and sent us daily updates and pictures. She also left our home exactly how we left it and helped bring in mail and packages throughout the week. Our babies were well cared for and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Ashlyn was such a joy to have as a sitter. My cat loved her right away and he's usually quite she with new people. She was communicative and was willing to do whatever I needed when I was away. I'm so glad to have found her because I want to keep her as my pet sitter forever <3”
“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”
“Elyza is the best cat sitter I’ve had by far. She spent a great deal of time ensuring my cat was fed, watered, and loved whilst I was away. Very reliable and kind. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Jayde was amazing! Our girl Luna absolutely fell in love with her and had the best time. She kept us updated, took great care of Luna, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Leaving for any extended amount of time always has me worrying about my fur kids. Morgan has left me at ease, relieved every time I arrive back home. She tends to them, loves them like her own, sends me the greatest updates and photos. 💚💚🐈⬛🐈⬛ Highly recommend. 💯”
About: Animal lover since birth, caregiver for about 10 years. I love to spend time with animals! I have 2 dogs currently who I love so much. Your pets will be in good hands and I will treat them as if they were my own. Currently: I have open availability. I have a super flexible schedule and can accommodate for last minute changes. Please let me know at least 1 day ahead of time if there are any major changes. I have 2 adorable puppies who I adore with all my heart. We have a fenced in yard big enough for both, and we love to go for daily walks. For my senior dogs, I make him homecooked with kibble meals due to dietary restrictions. Every pet parent knows what works for their pets best, and I hope to uphold that. I believe all animals are special and I hope the care for my own pets can reflect in the care I will provide for your animals. 🫶

About: I work from home and have great flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I recently had to say goodbye to my dog of 11 years and miss his company. Caring for your pet(s) is how I hope to fill this void. I've raised 3 great kids and play pickleball as much as I can. I'm a responsible woman and could even help with household tasks! Thank you for your consideration! My schedule is mine to control. I work from home and have great flexibility! I use to walk my dog 3 times a day and enjoy the exercise! I feel giving pets/cuddles to our furry friends is reciprocal. We need it as much as they do! I have been to my daughter's house for my fido fix daily since I had to say goodbye to my dog. She had a golden and a boxer/pit mix and seeing them makes my heart happy.

“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”
“Kathryn B was amazing with my dog during our meetup last week and her first Day Care yesterday. She shared info about her day including pictures of my dog peacefully napping beside her pet and later napping on Kathryn’s lap. I definitely will book with her again and highly recommend Kathryn B.”
“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”
About: My sweet beagle passed away this summer, and while I’m not ready to bring home another dog yet, I still deeply love pups. So here I am on Rover, hoping to scratch that dog-itch while caring for others. I’m new to the platform, but not new to loving and caring for dogs. I work from home, so your pup gets company and attention all day. I’m active and enjoy walking, live close to a big park, and have a yard right at my apartment for easy outdoor time. I’m a naturally clear, proactive communicator—you’ll get updates and photos without having to ask. I’m responsible, easygoing, and just want to spend my time around dogs. I’d love to take great care of yours! Since I work from home, dogs I care for get plenty of company throughout the day—walks, playtime, and check-ins built right into my normal routine. Mornings usually start with a walk (we’re close to a big park, so there’s plenty of room to roam), with more potty breaks and playtime spaced through the day depending on your pup’s needs. I’m easy to reach and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. I only care for one dog (or one family’s dogs) at a time. I’m not trying to build a pet boarding business, just looking for some side income and to get pup time, so your dog (or dogs, if you have a pair) gets my full attention. My apartment isn’t huge, but it’s clean, calm, and relaxing, and I’m on the first floor right by the door (easy in and out access). I don’t have kids, so it’s a quiet, low-chaos environment. I spent 11 years as an elementary school teacher, so caring for others (kids, families, etc.) is something I know how to do well. I’m also an aunt to 15 nieces and nephews, so I’m used to keeping little ones (two- and four-legged) safe, happy, and looked after. My own dog actually came to me when my brother needed to rehome him, so being a compassionate, reliable caretaker is just who I am.
About: I have taken care of many animals, I grew up in the country and have had many animals and have taken care of them all from guinea pigs, horses, cows, sheep’s, dogs, cats and more. I find a deep love for all kinds of animals no matter the size, shape or color. Recently I have taken care of multiple of my friends dogs and cats, including my own first puppy Penny I follow all pet rules to a T, whatever you do for your fur baby I promise I will do! If you leave your baby in my hands I will provide good consistent communication, take wonderful care of your animal, and all the love and snuggles needed. I currently work from home for a medicare insurance company, I take a 30 minute lunch daily and work 8 hour shifts. I am able to provide before, during and after work attention to any animal. I am able to do anything that is needed for your dog and or cat. I am able to provide the most reliable, safe, and trusted care for your fur baby.
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“Nicole is an excellent caring host. She has a wonderful large grassy backyard with a big tree providing shade and has a pack of nice regulars that are all easygoing . Overall it was an excellent experience for Cookie.”
“I have been dropping my pup off at Lindsey's every work day for the past 3-4 months and he absolutely loves it there! He gets to play with other dogs all day and is always tired when I pick him up :) Lindsey is very flexible and always tries to accommodate my varying work hours. I have full trust in her with my fur-baby!”
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”

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 10 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.

I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my work day through the week, and open to anytime on the weekends. 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.
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've fostered over 40 dogs including puppies, senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, and dogs requiring special behavioral and/or medical assistance. I've recently been approved as a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. I am retired and available during the work day. I know what it's like to worry about your dog getting the exercise and attention they need, my flexibility can work for you. I will have your dog on-leash for any walks or outside time at my home. As the pawrent, I want to follow any directions or suggestions that you have for making your dog comfortable and happy.
About: We’ve grown up with dogs in our homes and have owned dogs for nearly 10 years now. We provide for all of their care, and have experienced that care from puppyhood through late adulthood. We have experience housebreaking, crate training, behavioral training, and trick/skills training. Our oldest dog, Chloe, has also experienced double CCL surgeries, so we also have experience with rehabilitation, medication issuance, and emotional support during healing. We’ve dog sat for multiple of our friends dogs who have special feeding schedules and needs that we've been able to maintain while they are with us. Given our experience, we are comfortable and confident to provide your dog with a safe and caring environment, where their needs can be met and they can have fun while you're away, playing with our dogs both in our home and in our fenced in back yard. We both work full time from home and care for our two dogs throughout the day, so your dogs will have non-stop supervision, socialization, and 2 other dogs to keep them company for their entire stay. We have two dogs currently that we have had for 9 and 3 years, that get along great with other dogs with experiences in other Rover's homes, time at The Wag (Dog Park & Bar near Grandview), having spent time at Doggy Daycares, and countless playdates with our friends' dogs through the years. We have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can play and have fun. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a large house for the dogs to run and play throughout the day. There is manmade ponds in our neighborhood with walking trails for when everyone wants to go on a walk.
“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I love pets!! My kids make fun of me because I would likely have a zoo if I had enough time and resources. So, since I can’t love on all them as my own, let me temporarily love on yours while you are away. I currently own 2 Shiba Inus named Murray and Mira, who are extremely friendly with other dogs, and 2 cats who think they are dogs. I am constantly pet sitting for my friends and neighbors. From my girlfriend and her diabetic cat to my buddy with a rambunctious Aussie to the rescue foster who is scared of her own shadow. These are just some examples of my experiences caring for pets. I have a nice, fenced yard in a safe neighborhood and a welcoming home to accommodate pet sitting as needed. Help me fund my own time away and/or building a fund for my next furry family member. ;) I currently work from home and have flexible schedule. I prefer in home boarding during weekdays, but could do in home care if within 10 minutes driving or on weekends. I am open minded to your care needs. I typically walk 3 miles a day, so I’m happy to go on a nice walk with your best friend.
About: I can administer oral or pill medications if needed. I can provide your pet with stimulating exercise because I’m an athlete myself! I can also provide senior care to your pet. I am in charge of the pets my family has at home which includes feeding, walking, and bathing them. I currently work at a medical office in downtown Columbus during the week, Monday through Friday. I usually work from 7:30am-5pm. I am available anytime I get off of work to do drop-ins or walks. I usually don't take drop-ins for the morning due to the time that I have to be at work. For my own cat, I clean her litter box at least once day and she eats Smalls' pet food twice daily. On days when I am taking care of other's pets, my partner takes care of her in my stead. Charisma enjoys going on walks on the weekends and taking naps in my lap. For others pets, I will do my best to keep them as comfortable as possible and to keep the same schedule that you have set for them. If sleeping with them is allowed, that is also something I will do as long as they are comfortable. I will make sure that any mess your pet makes while you’re away will be cleaned up. I can bathe your pet if you want and can be there to keep them company if you wish. Keeping your pet comfortable is my priority!
About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!
About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

About: I’ve raised dogs of all sizes throughout. I have 4 grand dogs that I help take care of from time to time. I’m experienced and dogs/cats are typically at ease around me. Can’t wait to meet your pet! I am newly retired and have a lot of Flex Time at the moment. I enjoy working with animals and have reliable transportation. Thank you! I will work with you to determine what is best suited for your pet. My practices typically including, feeding, cleaning kitty litter, medicine giving, letting out in yard or on leash to potty, etc. Also available for walking.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

“Dawn was a godsend for us! We had to unexpectedly find arrangements for our dog so we could travel for a funeral, and Dawn responded immediately and was so kind, gracious, and accommodating with our short notice. She not only took care of our dog, but loved on him while we were away, and sent lots of photos and updates. We are so grateful to have found Dawn and Rob to take care of Shadow, and will definitely use them again!”
“Absolutely AMAZING! I had to book at the last minute, and not only was she accommodating, but she also loved my energetic pup like no other. She went above and beyond to share photos and updates while we were on vacation. I never had to worry if he was in good hands b/c he was having the time of his life. I will use Ashley for all my pup daycare needs. She was awesome to work with and loved and cared for my pup. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Lizmarie. She invited us to do a meet and greet before the official booking to ensure our dogs got along with her children. She updated us with photos whenever we asked. It is obvious she has a lot of experience with dogs and she genuinely cares for them. I would definitely want to book with her again and would recommend her to any of my fellow pawrents!”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Smith had such a great time with Kris and Baloo! He was treated like part of their family and so well taken care of. He had so much fun playing and relaxing and generally being spoiled, and I got so many great pictures of their time together. I can’t imagine letting him stay with anybody else!”
“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”
“Kelsey is absolutely wonderful! I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with her when I go on vacation. Her place is perfect for dogs — the yard is huge, and there are other friendly dogs for mine to play with, which makes the stay extra fun. You can tell Kelsey genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She’s responsible, communicative, and treats my dog like one of her own. I’m so thankful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and caring environment for their dog!”
“Rachel is a very caring sitter. Our two dogs were very nervous with their first time away from us and had multiple accidents, and she handled it kindly. She’s an awesome option and an avid pet lover.”
“Wrigley has stayed with Michelle and Nicholas twice and both times have went great! They are very easy to work with and have a great home for a pet toy stay in.”
“This was the longest I’d ever left Bean and the first time leaving her in someone’s home. I used to take her to a kennel where she could play all day, but she’s just getting too old and anxious for that and I wanted something more her speed. Sorillian, Eric, and their dogs were the perfect place. Every picture they sent me, Bean looked so happy and relaxed. She ate her food. And I didn’t need to worry about her. I would definitely leave her with Sorillian and Eric again. Thanks to both of them!!”
“Amazing host and sitter , super nice backyard for dogs to play , super communicative and understanding, i would have these guys watch my pets any day !!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many family members animals a lot. I've had my dog now for almost 2 years, he has pretty bad separation anxiety. My last dog I had for 5 years so I've had long time experience with my own animals as well. I've also had cats plenty of times too. This has taught me to be patient and attentive to dogs who may need extra reassurance, structure, and time to feel comfortable. I’m really comfortable with dogs and walking, feeding, playing, taking potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I work 7-4 and my off says are Thursday and Saturday. I can watch anytime on my off says or throughout the week if possible. I come home on my breaks since i live right next door to where I work. I can only watch at my place currently since I do not have transportation. I promise the safety of you're animals I know how important it is since I have a pup of my own.
About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
