“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“I booked a very last minute week of overnight boarding for my 6 month old puppy Puck. D and B were both great and clearly well versed in puppy training issues. Nice family home. Puck even got to sleep with their 11 child every night! They sent photos daily with updates and accommodated my schedule changing for his drop off and pickup. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Becky is truly the best pet and most caring sitter ever! She knows exactly what Mel needs—whether it’s a walk, a treat, a toy, or just some love and attention. She keeps us updated daily with texts, videos, and photos, which we absolutely adore. Seeing Mel happy and relaxed, especially when she’s interacting with Becky’s lovely family and her adorable cats, Baby and Foles, makes us so happy. Every time we need a sitter, Becky is our first (and only!) choice. Mel will be going back to her any time we’re away. She’s simply the best!”

“Alyssa did a great job sitting for our cat while we were away for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! During the initial consultation, Alyssa took the time to understand our cat’s personality, routine, and quirks. We felt completely at ease leaving our cat in her care. During our absence, Alyssa provided daily updates, complete with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease. We returned home to the same happy, well-adjusted cat that we left a week before. It’s clear our cat received competent, loving care. We would definitely use Alyssa as a pet-sitter again.”

We have used Melissa twice and are looking forward to use her again in the future. I recommend her.”

About: From childhood, cats have been my favorite animals! I have pet set many cats over the years for friends and family to neighbors and coworkers. With my many years of experience, I am used to administer any different types of medications. I have giving cats pill pocket medicine, liquid syringe, and even medicine through shots. I’ve had cats for years which has open my experience to nursing them back to health.
“Brooke did a great job watching our two cats. She arrived on time, with the times we arranged. She did two visits a day & always had updates and pictures, which we loved. She was very reliable & we would hire again if we needed to. Thank you Brooke.”
“Alexandria was a great addition to our cat sitter roster. My usual sitters weren't available and she was able to pick up the gig quickly. She is very attentive to our cats and paid attention to their personalities. Her updates were very thorough. I felt like our cats were themselves when we returned home. I will hire her when she is available in the future.”
“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”
About: Cats are very much my comfort zone. I currently have four rescue cats (ages 8, 5, 1, and 8 months)—two of whom showed up at my doorstep and decided they were home—so I’m especially familiar with cats of all personalities, from outgoing to shy and everything in between. I’m experienced with senior cats, kittens, and cats with special needs, including special diets and administering medications such as pills and eye or ear drops. I understand that cats thrive on routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their own space. Drop-in visits are never rushed. Whether your cat wants playtime, companionship, or just a quiet check-in, I meet them where they are. I’m also happy to care for other land animals during drop-ins if needed. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistent and responsive. I love sending photo updates (when your cat allows it!) so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Why choose me? 🐾 Experienced cat owner & rescue lover 🐱 Confident with all cat personalities 💊 Comfortable with meds & special diets 📸 Thoughtful updates & photos ❤️ Calm, patient, and deeply cat-devoted My goal is to make sure your cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for—while you enjoy total peace of mind.
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was 7 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for 3 cats and 6 dogs of my own, giving me experience with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I began pet sitting at 16 and later expanded my experience into animal shelter and rescue work at 23, where I learned the importance of patience, trust, and compassionate care for every animal. At home, I have a sweet corgi named Sgt. Tibbs who is truly the light of my life. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, because I would want the very same for him. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away with plenty of attention, affection, and tail wags included! I currently work full time in Reading, but outside of work hours your pets will always be my top priority during their stay and care. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends, and I make it a point to give every pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, and comfort while their owners are away. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pets with someone, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I believe in putting your pet’s comfort, trust, and well-being first. For that reason, I offer care in your home only, where your pets feel the safest and most comfortable. Staying in their familiar environment helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress and anxiety, and allows them to receive loving care while still feeling at home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bamford
“Angelita was so welcoming and flexible! You can tell she loves what she does. Cora seemed to have had such a good time that she slept all day and that’s rare with her puppy energy.”
“We are so very lucky that Mai was able to help us out in a pinch! She was very communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and taking care of our girl as if she were her own! Will definitely use Mai again.”
“She was wonderful with our two dogs. She offered to make our dog, who had a belly ache, some broth. She sent pictures throughout the day. Overall great experience.”
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Ashley was so attentive to taking care of my dog and keeping me informed about Phoebe’s stay. Ashley has amazing costumer service. She is friendly with both humans and dogs! My dog was so hoppy when I picked her up. Her dog Ozzie is adorable and friendly! Phoebe made a friend for life! I highly recommend Ashley!”
“Gwendoline is amazing! She is very kind, organized, and nice lady. Jake had a nice and fun day exploring nature in her yard and making new friends, that was perfect! Definitely we will continue to come with her. We totally recommend her 100% 🩵😊 Many thanks🙏🏽”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“kearra was a great host to my two cavapoo pups. She was able to accommodate us last minute and took great care of my furry babies. They enjoy a walk around the neighborhood and must’ve had a busy day as they slept the rest of the day. Would definitely recommend having your pet stay with her.”
“Ashley has been caring for my little dog for 2 years now and we are so grateful!! She is amazing and so kind with my unique dog. My dog gets excited in the car when pulling up in front of her house, and goes running up the stairs as soon as she opens the door, he absolutely loves being there!! Ashley is so generous sending gifts for my dog and giving him extra love and treats while she watches him. We're very grateful to have Ashley in our area!!!”
About: I've haven taking care as long as I can remember since youth. I have experience working with pets of all ages. I treat every pet like my own family. I live in a smoke free home. No kids or children live with me. I have a back yard with ton of space as well as a front porch with ton of spacing for play area. I currently do not have any pets at the moment since March, since my dog passed away. I taking the time to learn their personally, routines, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm reliable, communicative, and detailed oriented. I can provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can always have peace of mind. I make sure your pet gets personalized care and attention every step of the way. I'm currently working part-time during the weekend remotely from home. I'm extremely flexible with early mornings, evenings and weekends. Which allows me to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible to accommodate your schedule and your pets schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or my clients home, always focusing on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In my home I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I prioritize maintaining the pet's normal routine since they're most comfortable in their own environment. My goal in both setting is to make pet feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years and have a 9 month old golden retriever. I would love to give your pup the love and care it needs! I love walks and so your pup can get a lot of energy out! We also have a private dog park that we go to with our golden retriever pup at least 3 times a day. Our pup lovessss pup friends! Using my client’s instructions, I ensure that the pup would get the care and attention it deserves! I can come to you and keep them in the environment they’re most comfortable with!
“Jordan was exactly what my wife and I needed for our dog Rosie. We found ourselves unexpectedly needing a someone to watch Rosie for the day while my wife and I attended a weeding in town. Because Rosie needs some special attention after having been attacked when she was younger by another dog, it was important to find someone that could take care of Rosie the way she needed. Jordan was just that. She was easy to communicate with a responsive during Rosie’s entire stay, talking me through what she was up to and sending pictures and videos as well. Jordan even went above and beyond by introducing Rosie to her wonderfully well behaved and trained dog. Rosie can be unpredictable with other dogs, but She got along just fine with Jordan’s Shepard. I’d gladly bring Rosie back here any time I’m in town and would recommend anyone looking for a sitter do the same.”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.
“If I could give D 10 stars, I would. She is, without a doubt, the most genuine person we have ever met through rover. She was extremely flexible with changing drop off times and adding on an extra day of daycare last minute. Her farm is a adorable and our two Australian shepherds loved interacting with friendly goats, chickens, a cat, and even a sweet cow—it was a true vacation for them! If we didn't already think highly of D, upon arrival for their second stay, our boys bounded straight past us and ran to the door. They chose her over jumping back in the car, which speaks volumes about the trust and love she inspires. Furthermore, she is incredibly reliable with medical needs. Our one boy has epilepsy, and she managed to administer his medication flawlessly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found her and will use her in the future when we're in the area!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Bamford
“First time using Rover, and Stephanie made it a stress free experience. She offered to meet with our dog (Callie) first, prior to booking, to get a feel for her and her routine. Callie had a great time on her walk and was a happy camper.”

“Our meet and greet with Kaelee and first walk went so well! She and Pickle hit it off and Kaelee was so patient with our nervous little pup. She is professional and thorough and so kind. We will definitely be having her come regularly!”
“Well Caroline saved the day and well my birthday too lol She was able to accept a last minute booking to walk my baby Enzo so I could spend the day away for my birthday with peace of mind knowing my boy was being walked and taken care of, she totally came through in a pinch and truly appreciate her for doing this!”
About: I’ve had my own dogs, cats and exotic animals my entire life and helping with other pets for at least 10 years. I also have experience in boarding animals for rehoming but would love to help pets that already have furever homes. Between the two adults in my home, someone is almost always home. I work from home and my mom works from home. I have three children that also love dogs but I would not leave them responsible for the care or safety of your animal. I treat your pets like they were my own. Follow your prefered feeding schedule, walks, and play with your dog. Your wish is my command
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Growing up with a high-energy Blue Heeler taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are, while helping raise our Standard Poodle gave me experience with daily routines, training, walks, and plenty of playtime. I’ve also spent years caring for family members’ dogs, including multiple Chihuahuas and other breeds, each with their own unique personality and needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just basic care—they’ll get patience, attention, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with them. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority in my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a Supervisor at Urban Air and a Sales Associate at Vineyard Vines, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around the pets I care for. I’m usually available most afternoons after 3:30 PM, as well as before 4:00 PM on some Fridays and Saturdays. Even when I have work commitments, I put in the effort to coordinate my time so I can provide dependable care both before and after my shifts whenever possible. While my Sundays can be a bit busier, I always make sure I can provide reliable, attentive care when I accept a booking. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet! When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining a safe, consistent, and engaging routine. With my own Standard Poodle, I make sure she is well-fed, has access to fresh water, gets regular potty breaks, and receives plenty of attention throughout the day. Because our yard requires close supervision during outdoor time, I’m accustomed to actively monitoring dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. I also make it a priority to provide exercise and mental stimulation through walks, games of fetch, playtime with toys, and one-on-one interaction. When caring for a client’s pet, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have worked at a local animal hospital as a Veterinary Assistant the past 2 years. In this role I take appointments, handle and care for both cats and dogs, and assist the other veterinary staff. I am Fear Free Certified, meaning I took a course about animal behavior and how to best reduce stress on your pets. I have lived with dogs, exotics, and small animals my entire life and would love to help you out with any and all of your animals! I have experience with both large and small breed dogs having owned them myself, and regularly walk them. I dog walk as well as pet sit both cats and dogs in the area. I volunteer at a cat shelter in my free time, giving me some extra experience with rescue cats! I have volunteered at the SPCA before, walking the shelter dogs there as well as caring for the cats. I have also volunteered at a Rabies Vaccine clinic, helping the clients and their pets. As someone who has worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, I would be happy to help with whatever you may need! I am very flexible, during the summer I am very free, and during the semester I balance Rover with my other animal-related job. Overall I can make most any day work! I am happy to perform whatever tasks needed to keep your cat or dog comfortable. I am able to take dogs out on a leash or let them go in a fenced in yard, whatever they are used to! I am happy to walk and play with them for whatever duration you would like.
About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
“Gabrielle was very punctual and super sweet. Leah enjoyed her walk very much and I could tell she was happy. She sent me photos of their walk. I would definitely use her again!”
About: QUICK HEADS UP: My partner and I are planning to move sometime in 2026. We don’t have a solid timeline yet. Also, I am currently back in school and this may mean my daily schedule looks a little different at times, but everything I am learning directly benefits the dogs in my care. taking courses to become a Canine Behavior Consultant.Please please be patient with me during this transitional year. And don’t worry we’re only moving about 20 minutes away, so all my regulars will still be comfortably in my radius! ❤️ BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ THIS ❤️ For stays longer than four days and for holidays the rate is higher and I want to explain why. This is not a nine to five job. It is a twenty four seven commitment. Most visiting dogs cannot be left alone at all, and because of that I miss a lot. I skip family events. I rearrange appointments. I lose sleep when dogs are anxious or cannot settle their first night. I stay up if someone is vomiting from nerves. I cancel plans when a dog needs more support than expected. I spend weekends inside when other people are out living life because a pup needs constant supervision. I put your dogs above everything else in my personal life, including my own family at times. I only take one family pack at a time. Your dogs get my full focus and a safe space without the chaos that comes from mixing multiple families. I take them on real hikes, give them real enrichment, and use high quality human grade treats because visiting dogs need both movement and mental work to settle in a new place. I even go as far as renting out private land for dogs who are leash reactive or for pups who need a huge fenced in area with tons of acres to burn off anxiety and energy in a safe way. I share the smiling pictures and the fun adventures, but there is a lot that happens behind the scenes to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and stable. This level of care takes real time, real sacrifice, and real dedication, and that is why I am firm in my pricing. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and honestly… they’ve shaped a huge part of who I am. I live with my Italian Greyhound pretty much 24/7 (he has separation anxiety and I wouldn’t have it any other way), so I’m very used to the “velcro dog” lifestyle. Because of him, I’m super tuned into the little things.. their routines, their quirks, their sensitivities, and all the ways they try to communicate. I also grew up with Dobermans, so I’m no stranger to big, smart, emotional dogs who need confidence, structure, and someone who actually pays attention. That upbringing taught me patience, consistency, and to always advocate for the dog in front of me. I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life..even my two skinny pigs who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. They were tiny, but trust me, they had huge personalities and fit right in with visiting pups. Between my own dogs, my extended family’s dogs, and the endless stream of personalities I meet through boarding, I’ve gotten really comfortable reading different temperaments. Cuddly lap dogs, anxious shadow followers, high energy explorers, the “I’m independent but also please never leave me” types. I love them all and adjust to whatever they need. I’ve also worked with dogs who aren’t always easy around others. I take things slow, keep everyone safe, and create an environment where every dog can relax and feel secure. Safety and understanding always come first. At the end of the day, every dog who stays with me becomes part of my little crew. I’m not a kennel! They live life with me. Walks, snuggles, routines, the whole thing. Your pup will be cared for exactly how I care for my own: with intention, patience, and a lot of love. ❤️ Dog boarding is my full time thing now. No side jobs and no juggling. This is truly what I do every day. The dogs are part of everything I am doing, whether I am folding laundry, watering plants, or working out in the yard. When the weather is warm we are outside a ton getting fresh air, exploring, and just living life together. A few times a year I take short breaks to focus on my own dog Luigi, and to reset my mental health. It keeps our home running smoothly and makes sure every dog who stays with us gets a calm, consistent, happy environment. When I am at my best, your pups get the best. I know what it feels like to hand your dog to someone else and hope they truly understand them. That is why I take safety so seriously. Quality always comes before quantity in my home. I am very selective about how many dogs I accept at one time, and most of the time your dog or dogs will be the only ones staying with us. On rare occasions, this may include a dog who has already stayed with me multiple times and has an emergency come up. In those situations, all pet parents involved are notified and asked for permission before anything is confirmed. I have a fenced in yard and I am always outside with the dogs. When we drive they are buckled into a harness every single time. I carry first aid in my car and in my hiking backpack because being prepared matters. I use Apple AirTags when we leave the house so I always know where your pup is. If your dog is leash reactive or nervous I plan ahead. I research quiet trails, low traffic times, and when needed I rent private land so it is only us and there are no surprises. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is safe, understood, and protected. Trust is earned, and I show it through every decision I make.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been caring for animals since I can remember. I watched many different breeds of dogs while in college. I’m available weekdays for walks, and weekends for dog/puppy sitting. I love all animals and have cared for many different breeds of dogs. I’m flexible so let me know what your pet needs. I have lot of experience with pets and walking dogs. I have no pets that I live with so any dog is welcome. Just let me know what your dog needs.
About: Hey fellow dog lovers! A little about me… I am a nurse and absolutely love what I do, but ultimately I just want to hang out with dogs. I work the weekends so I’m available all week long. I have a two year old daughter and a 9 year old mixed breed dog. We will take excellent care of your fur babies. We have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space inside too. I grew up with three dogs, one golden retriever and two westies, and I adopted our current dog from pet helpers in 2016. I worked for PetStar dog walking company when I first moved to charleston and loved it, but then began pursuing my nursing career. I just moved back to Lancaster and trying to make some extra money while looking for another nursing job. I hope to hear from you! Thanks! I am available during the week. I work the weekends. During the week we like to go on adventures but we are also happy hanging out at home. We have almost half an acre that’s fenced in. We also have a screened in porch with a fan and a large loveseat that out dog uses more than we do. If I leave the house I more often than not bring copper with us. We go to the parks, Home Depot, the fields, the beach, you name it (if dogs are allowed we go together)

Thanks for taking the best care of our puppy so we could have a great stress free vacation knowing she was well loved!! Thanks for the daily updates as well!!”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“I booked a very last minute week of overnight boarding for my 6 month old puppy Puck. D and B were both great and clearly well versed in puppy training issues. Nice family home. Puck even got to sleep with their 11 child every night! They sent photos daily with updates and accommodated my schedule changing for his drop off and pickup. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Becky is truly the best pet and most caring sitter ever! She knows exactly what Mel needs—whether it’s a walk, a treat, a toy, or just some love and attention. She keeps us updated daily with texts, videos, and photos, which we absolutely adore. Seeing Mel happy and relaxed, especially when she’s interacting with Becky’s lovely family and her adorable cats, Baby and Foles, makes us so happy. Every time we need a sitter, Becky is our first (and only!) choice. Mel will be going back to her any time we’re away. She’s simply the best!”
“Luna had a wonderful weekend with Rose! She sent daily pictures, took her on a visit to a friends house where she got lots of cuddles and attention instead of being home alone during that time, and even clipped her nails. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“There is nobody better if you love your dog. Lexzee cares more about my dog than most people do about humans. She is kind, considerate, deliberate and loves these dogs. She makes my dog feel right at home every time she goes there. I will Never leave her with anyone else. Five stars aren’t enough.”

“Donna is wonderful, and our Sadie loved her and her whole family. I got to see pics everyday, had lots of communication and knew Sadie couldn’t be getting more love and attention. It’s so wonderful to know I have a loving home for our girl when we need to leave her I really can’t say enough about Donna. I would recommend to anyone who has a hard time leaving their furry baby! There couldn’t be a better place!”
“Amber is a great dog- sitter! She sent us pictures and videos often, of our dog, with updates on his status. She took him on lots of adventures! He was so well cared- for! Thank you, Amber!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
“Giselle was amazing with our dog, Henry. She stayed in touch the whole time we were gone, updating us with pictures and videos. Henry was in such a great hands. He probably got more attention then he does at home! She took him for many walks, and found his favorite spot to be scratched. We absolutely recommend Giselle and will be calling on her again.”
“Mary’s home was PERFECT for our Stanley - there was a fenced in yard to run around and plenty of snuggles on the sofas and bed. Mary was attentive to making sure Stanley had his own space to eat meals and chew on his bones. She sent photo and video updates and was always responsive whenever I reached out to check in with her. I truly felt that Mary and her family loved Stanley as their own while he was with them! I would absolutely recommend Mary and book with her again.”
