“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Chris took great care of our dog. He sent terrific photos each day and gave a report on how she was getting along. She went on walks and played with his daughters. We would be happy to use Chris again. Highly recommend him.”
“Highly recommend! My dog Aspen was wonderfully cared for and loved like a part of the family! These two were so sweet and communicative. They were flexible on pickup/drop off times and very responsive. I got regular updates with videos of Aspen showing how happy she was! They really seem to know and understand dogs and care for them! Having them watch Aspen was a huge stress relief knowing she was well cared for. Very appreciative and will definitely reach out again if I have any travel coming up! Thanks again!”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Dawn was amazing! We were able to meet up before our trip so Hondo could meet her and her dog. I received photos daily and when my little guy got homesick she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We definitely would recommend Dawn and will be using her services in the future!”
“Dariana was an excellent sitter for Luna. She was responsive, flexible, and provided regular updates. Luna very clearly was happy and comfortable during her stay. I would 100% recommend her! 😊”
“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Catherine and Adam did a great job. They sent pictures and updates to let me know how my dog was doing each day. They were very nice people and I was worried about someone new but they made sure I was comfortable with his care. I would recommend them very much but don't want to because I need them free for my doggie. LOL. Thank you very much for them. Also plane was late and they were nice about keeping him when I was in trouble. They get 100% super.”
“Kristin was great! Very easy going, prompt with returning messages. She took our dog out for multiple walks. Leo seemed very happy and tired after his weekend away with all the attention he was given.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“We were so happy with Dallas' care. Joanne sent me several texts updating me on how he was doing and she included many pictures. Her children played with Dallas and loved him like he was their own. We will definitely book with Joanne and her family again.”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Rosangela provided for my Nico. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely love animals. She kept me updated with daily messages, pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nico came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I also appreciated how she followed feeding instructions, gave him fresh water after walks and ensured plenty of play time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable, Rosangela is the perfect choice. She is also very accommodating and flexible which with my busy schedule I really appreciate. I already booked with her again!! That’s how happy I was with her service. 100% Recommended”

“Katie took good care of my 5 cats and bearded dragon while I was in Europe, and she also managed to make friends with my large, grouchy iguana. I'm so glad to have found someone who is comfortable with my menagerie and can handle all the complicated instructions for each one. I would definitely recommend Katie!”
“Emma is by far the best cat sitter we have ever had. We love reading her updates while we are away and our family members get jealous of how great she is compared to their pet sitters. Our cat loves her too, which can’t be said about many people.”
“Isabel was the best sitter we’ve had in a long time! Our cat was so well loved, I think he started to miss her! Followed instructions wonderfully, communicated with us through every visit, and provided detailed updates on him (with tons of pictures!!). she’s definitely our only choice next time we need a sitter!”
“We had never used Rover before and were very nervous to try it, but Jen instantly put our minds at ease! She sent tons of cute videos and pictures and cared for our cat as if she was her own pet. And our cat warmed up to her almost instantly and loved her visits. We had never left our cat alone before, and Jen took a situation that was very stressful for us and turned it into an extremely positive experience”
About: I’ve been a cat owner. I understand behavior. Currently, I take care of local cats when their owners are out of town. They require high level of medical attention in regards to medicine and care. I’m able to care for cats on the simple level and maintain their daily cat life balance.
About: I've been around dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'll treat every dog like they're part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I'm currently finishing my BSN through an online program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and many evenings, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I'm happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and make sure their pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Sophia was great! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I have extensive professional experience caring for cats in both shelter and home settings, including fearful, undersocialized, and high-stress cats. My background includes reading feline body language, reducing stress during care, supporting cats through environmental changes, and providing individualized routines that respect each cat’s comfort level. I am experienced with shy, hiding, defensive, and overstimulated cats, and I prioritize low-stress handling, consent-based interaction, and predictable care. My approach focuses on creating a calm environment where cats feel safe, secure, and respected rather than forced into interaction.
“I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!”
About: We’ve always had cats around us as long as I remember, whether it being pets or taking care of strays. I always feel like cats are so unique and I love caring for them! I always want to make sure they feel loved and cared for no matter what. I’m especially good with keeping them clean and I’ll always remember the times they’re fed!
About: I have been taking care of cats and kittens since I was a young girl. I have experience with bottle feeding and caring for kittens as young as one-day old. I have cared for ill and disabled cats as well. I am a current cat mom of two sweet babies, so I know the difficulty an owner faces when making the decision to find care for their pet. I will ensure your own baby (or babies) are loved and cared for as if they were my own.

“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”
“Catherine and Adam were a pleasure to meet and to trust with our dear Nala. Drop-off was easy and dog-wise, both for making Nala feel at home and for meeting new friends (canine, feline and human). The pix throughout the day helped me feel connected and assured. Will definitely trust them again with Nala care needs.💞💞💞”
“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”
“Erin was a terrific sitter for Jax! Her house was surprisingly clean for a pet owner / pet sitter! Jax was happy and exhausted at the end of the day and he made sure to give love to Erin before coming with me when I picked him up. I plan to use this sitter again!”
“Andrea stepped in at the last minute when long laid plans blew apart. She sent pictures thru the day showing how at home my pet felt staying there. I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone that wants a friendly safe environment for watching your pet.”

About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.

“Brandy & Brandon were amazing at updating me throughout the day with photos and videos while I was running errands! My dogs had a blast and came home pooped! My older dog can be picky with people but he seemed so comfortable. I would highly recommend them.”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Our dog, Monty, really enjoyed his stay and obviously bonded with the care providers and other members of the pack. The daily pictures and updates were very much appreciated. We are fortunate to have found you. Thank you!”
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Arlissa saved the day for us last minute, and was absolutely fantastic. Our pups had a blast and were so well cared for. We were also sent (professional quality) update photos and video throughout the day!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and experience providing care for others. I understand the importance of building trust, following routines, and paying close attention to individual needs. My background caring for adults with developmental disabilities has strengthened my ability to be responsible, observant, and compassionate—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, preferences, and comfort level. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing extra attention to puppies, senior pets, or pets that may be anxious while their owners are away. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for throughout their stay. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have experience providing dependable care for others and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am comfortable incorporating feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship into my day. I believe pets thrive when they have structure, exercise, and plenty of affection, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. If providing care in my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, supervised play, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and reduce any stress from being away from home.

About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I do have a full-time job at a local rescue barn, but my hours are pretty flexible so I am usually able to cater to your pets schedule! I just recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelors in Biological Sciences with a focus in Animal Science, with the hopes of attending vet school in the near future. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible. I have experience in working with all sorts of different personalities from anxious and nervous to happy-go-lucky. I stride to treat each pet like they are my own and provide them with the care to put your worries to ease.
About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.
About: I was born an animal lover. From growing up with a family dog to volunteering at the Humane Society to working as an Equine Therapy Intern, I have experience caring for animals of all kinds. Animals are a very important part of my life and always will be. I recently graduated from college and moved back home to save up for grad school. As of right now, I am fully available to care for your pets any time! The most important thing about pet care for me is taking the time to build a relationship with them. Just like us, every animal has their own personality, quirks, and boundaries. It takes way more than just taking them on a walk or letting them outside to build trust and truly care for them the way they deserve to be cared for.

I’ve always loved being around dogs because they’re more than just pets—they’re family.

I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter.

Whether it’s before work, after work, or on my days off, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

I also love spending time with dogs And love seeing them happy. :) Im currently working full time at a dog kennel but that can change I can also work weekends and or holidays if needed and I’m also very trustworthy with dogs and cats I can easily crate your dog if needed and give your dog extra attention and love whenever needed and I will also treat your pet like it’s my own
About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.
About: I've had & taken care of cats & dogs since I was 7 years old! Over the past 5 years I've moved into caring for the pets of other's just as a favor to friends & family. Now I want to leave corporate America & care for furry family members professionally. I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.
About: Hi my name is Allison. I am a young professional living in Milford, Ohio. I work as a marketing coordinator for a small company based in Cincy! In my free time I enjoy reading, journaling, yoga, and spending time with my cat, Mimi! She is almost a year old and the absolute love of my life. 🥰 I want your pet to feel just as loved as mine during my visits. I have extensive experience with cats, kittens, dogs, and rabbits. Growing up my family always had a pet (sometimes multiple!) and we were always caring for sick or injured animals. I am a huge animal lover because of this and could not imagine not having a furry best friend. 🐈 I look forward to hearing about your own fur baby and how I can best care for them! Thank You. Animals I are for: -Dogs and puppies -Cats and kittens - Rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs - small aquatic animals Starting June 29th, I will be available during the week, weekends, and evenings if required. I am headed back to school in the fall and between jobs at the moment, so I can give your pet my full attention! As I prefer to take care of pets in their own home I will gladly partake in any of their daily activities! Having a routine will be greatly appreciated when I watch your fur babies, so let me know what they love (and don’t love) to do.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs,I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding place. I also have taken care of birds and cats in the past as well. I know how to handle senior pets as well as young pets. I currently work full time during the mornings but I can accommodate my work schedule around any time for my pet sitting services. I am usually available after 3pm but can accommodate I have a fenced in yard and a few friendly dogs,if need be I can keep the dog in a separate area away from the other dogs
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and experience providing care for others. I understand the importance of building trust, following routines, and paying close attention to individual needs. My background caring for adults with developmental disabilities has strengthened my ability to be responsible, observant, and compassionate—qualities that are just as important when caring for pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their personality, preferences, and comfort level. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing extra attention to puppies, senior pets, or pets that may be anxious while their owners are away. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for throughout their stay. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have experience providing dependable care for others and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to individual needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am comfortable incorporating feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and companionship into my day. I believe pets thrive when they have structure, exercise, and plenty of affection, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. If providing care in my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, supervised play, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and reduce any stress from being away from home.

“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“Highly recommend! My dog Aspen was wonderfully cared for and loved like a part of the family! These two were so sweet and communicative. They were flexible on pickup/drop off times and very responsive. I got regular updates with videos of Aspen showing how happy she was! They really seem to know and understand dogs and care for them! Having them watch Aspen was a huge stress relief knowing she was well cared for. Very appreciative and will definitely reach out again if I have any travel coming up! Thanks again!”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Dariana was an excellent sitter for Luna. She was responsive, flexible, and provided regular updates. Luna very clearly was happy and comfortable during her stay. I would 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Catherine and Adam did a great job. They sent pictures and updates to let me know how my dog was doing each day. They were very nice people and I was worried about someone new but they made sure I was comfortable with his care. I would recommend them very much but don't want to because I need them free for my doggie. LOL. Thank you very much for them. Also plane was late and they were nice about keeping him when I was in trouble. They get 100% super.”
“Kristin was great! Very easy going, prompt with returning messages. She took our dog out for multiple walks. Leo seemed very happy and tired after his weekend away with all the attention he was given.”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“We were so happy with Dallas' care. Joanne sent me several texts updating me on how he was doing and she included many pictures. Her children played with Dallas and loved him like he was their own. We will definitely book with Joanne and her family again.”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“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.”
“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”
“Daniel and Lauren were phenomenal with Kennedy. This is her second stay with them and she loved it. Kennedy had an ear surgery a few days before her stay and Lauren and Daniel were great with giving her meds and caring for her. Highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve also watched dogs for friends, family, and others who needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have a 4-year-old who absolutely loves animals and has grown up around dogs. Caring for animals is something we both enjoy, and your dog will be treated with lots of love and attention while in my care. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Amanda took such great care of our new puppy Bailey and kept us updated with how she was doing while we were gone. She really set our minds at ease that all was well while we were away.”
