“We always feel comfortable leaving our Shepherd mix with Lauren! She’s as responsive and reliable as they come. Our dog used to get so sad when we’d leave him, but he wags his tail and gets excited when we pull up to Lauren’s house. She takes him on runs and hangs with him outside in her yard. We absolutely recommend leaving your dog with Lauren!”
“Connie is a fabulous dog sitter! She took care of our little guy Rory while my husband and I were staying at the Weekapaug Inn. Rory absolutely loved Connie and her sweet pup. Connie was super responsive, provided a ton of text and picture updates and kept Rory active and entertained. We so look forward to having Connie watch Rory again and could t recommend her enough!”
“Olivia was fantastic. While we were gone we had a record breaking snow storm . She sent me a picture of Miska with her own outdoor path. I felt confident that she was well cared for. She went above and beyond to accommodate our late return home.”
“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
“Dana's boarding home is a pet oasis!! Our pets returned to us as if they had received some sort of week long puppy spa treatment, they were calm, happy and just overall well. Our neurotic belgian shepherd finally learned to relax and literally returned to us a well adjusted dog. We are so grateful: Thank you Dana!!!”
“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”
About: Rest assured, your pet will get the best care and a new goofy nickname! I’ve trained puppies, cats and even a guinea pig. I’m work from home, and can give your pet all the attention it requires and wants. I’m work from home and can travel anywhere with wifi. I’m able to do whatever schedule you need! Very flexible and very accommodating to last minute needs or extensions. Consistency is everything, bathroom breaks and feeding schedules set. I’ve cared for all types of animals and would love to care for your furry friend.
About: I have been taking care of my family members dogs since I was 12 years old. With my cousins living across the street they have always had pets I have fallen in love with. Golden retrievers, golden doodles, bernadoodles, and the same fierce cat hazel. I have spent nights at theirs taking care of the dogs as they were on vacation. These were always my favorite times because I have never had a pet myself but I consider theirs my own. I am not currently working full time with a flexible summer schedule so I can make myself available to help you and your busy schedules!! I have a large backyard on a safe col de sac with very little road traffic. My cousins dogs love to roam around my home. At your homes I will always have an eye on the dogs outside, inside, and ensuring they are safe and happy at all times!
“Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!”
“Our first encounter with Karen was very calm and she was super sweet. Remi warmed up to her almost immediately. It was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate a meetup before the actual boarding which I appreciated. She kept us updated with photo and videos of Remi throughout the day. That alone gave me a peace of mind. Overall very pleased and would love to rebook again in the future.”
“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Eugene was amazing with Penny. He took her on walks to the park and to the beach. He has a fenced in back yard where she ran around chasing toys. He even gave her a chamomile bath! He sent plenty of photos of the fun.”
“Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!”
“Can not say enough good things about Shauna & Nixley. I was nervous to leave my Roxy for nine days while I was on vacation, but they both made me feel very reassured with multiple updates/pictures. Couldn't be happier with the way she was taken care of and spoiled as if she were home with me :-) I highly recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”

“I felt totally secure while I was away on vacation knowing that my pet Wrecks was being cared for. She visited my home and even sent me pictures that warmed my heart while I was away! Will truly never use anyone else!! So so so great!”
“Heidii was an absolutely fabulous pet sitter for us. We have a super shy Kitty who doesn't like anybody and she fell in love with Heidii. We got regular photos and videos and she was very well cared for. Would strongly recommend Heidii as a pet sitter and we will be using her again.”
About: While I of course adore dogs, at the end of the day cats are my original love. I grew up surrounded by them, and I am genuinely excited when new kitty clients come my way. I have two boys of my own, Dragon and Chowder, and they are my babies. I am very comfortable dealing with anything cat related!
“Communication was a little difficult, and we benefited from a flexible schedule, but they got my normally reserved cat to open up and play with them, so I can wholly believe that they were taking the absolute best care of my pet.”
About: I am a current 2nd year veterinary student at the UGA college of veterinary medicine. I have been volunteering at a veterinary hospital since I was in fifth grade and have experience with all different types of animals. I am a lover of all animals and have two dogs, Zoey and Harley. I started training Zoey(a standard poodle) as soon as I got her and her tricks were broadcasted on the local news station a few times. If you would like help training your dogs with basic commands I would be happy to help! I am a big runner/walker so if your dog has a lot of energy, I am the right person for you. I can walk/run your dog at any pace for as many miles as you need. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Can’t wait to meet you and pooches :) I am off of work this week, so I have plenty of time to walk and help out with your animals! Can’t wait to meet them :) I can take your animals for as long of a walk as you need. I can also administer medications, and provide other basic care such as cleaning ears and brushing if needed.
“Amy was very attentive to my cat’s needs and provided regular photos and visit updates during our recent vacation. I felt Arya was in great hands and would not hesitate to ask Amy to watch her again in future.”
“Isis did a great job taking care of my pets. I had peace of mind knowing they were left in good hands. She responded to my messages very quickly, and kept me informed. My dog was being a little difficult for her, but she worked it out. She made sure all of my pets were safe and well cared for. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own cat, so I understand how to meet their individual needs and respect their space. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and understanding cat behavior. What sets me apart is my patience and calm approach. I make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.
“Kate’s first visit was an orientation and she was back today to run through the routine with me standing by in case she had any questions. It also gave my cat a chance to get to know her a little better. Kate remembered pretty much everything we went over during our first visit and did a good job with feeding my cat and changing the litter box. Unfortunately, my cat got a little spicy because she is shy with strangers. Kate took it all in stride. She was very professional and I plan to rebook her.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for friends' and family members' cats. I'm comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing attentive care to help cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away
About: I have had experience with my own dog as well as watching & walking others’ pets since I was around 10 years old. I’ve also helped my sister with her Rover pets! I currently work from home. I am able to take multiple breaks during the work day. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time then and on the weekends to care for your pet! I also take walks myself daily and would love for your dog to join. I am all about the safety of your pet! Please let me know if they have a harness for walks, their reactions to other dogs/people, and if they need any special care.
About: I’ve been working with and caring for animals my entire life. My experience includes working as a vet tech, groomer, trap & release, spay & nueter programs, pet sitting, dog walking, animal transport, rescue and fostering. I am also comforable with administering medications and working with all personality traits. I understand the pack dynamic and am not intimidated when handling multiple pet type homes and dogs of all sizes. I am patient and animals respond well to my calm and confident nature. I work full time through out the school year and part time during the summer and can easily adjust my work schedule to accommodate drop in visits and dog walking services. Visiting pets can be crated if needed or gated in their own room while I am away from home. While I am home they will be free to roam the house and enjoy outside time safely in my fenced in yard.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. We have always had multiple at a time. I am very comfortable with all dog types and sizes. Do not mind walking or caring for multiple dogs at once. Also have lived with cats and enjoy being with them as well! My work schedule varies every week. I choose my schedule on a month to month basis. I am out of town sometimes for work. But my schedule can be flexible. I have a fenced in yard and big area to run around and play. Do not mind crating if needed and what you’re comfortable with for your dog.

Golden retrievers, golden doodles, bernadoodles, and the same fierce cat hazel. I have spent nights at theirs taking care of the dogs as they were on vacation.

About: I’ve had my own cats and dogs for about 30+ years and have even fostered dogs in GA, in the past. I have always had larger breed dogs, and currently have my cane corso, Stella, whom I’ve trained entirely myself. I had a bull mastiff, Grunt, from the time my brother passed away in 2015, until Grunt went to heaven to join him again in June of 2023. And even before Grunt, I had another cane corso, Roxy, and before her were mostly pitties. It’s very easy for me to be an amazing pack leader as I am a natural born leader and fall into the roll with ease. I believe in finding a way to communicate with our animals by paying close attention to their queues that they give. And when I say that I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t love, I mean it! Spending my time with them, is something I consider a blessing and an honor, and I truly treat every one like they are my own. I have owned a cleaning company for the last 5 years and I have had a few clients ask me to care for their pets. I decided that since my favorite part of some of my cleaning jobs was playing with people’s pets, that I’d rather transition to doing that full time instead! I can’t physically clean houses forever, but I’ll always be able to love on pets! My schedule is extremely flexible because I have and run my own business At my home, I have a very large, fenced in, yard with camera coverage both inside and outdoors. And as I’ve had my cleaning business for over 5 years, I have lots of people who trust me with their homes and their pets. Many clients have told me just how good it makes them feel knowing that they can truly, trust, and rely on me. I treat every job as tho it’s my own home or pet, and I’m great under pressure. If something happens, I am a problem solver.

About: Hi everyone! I’m Lauren, I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 cat (1 sheltie, 1 collie, and 1 Maine coon). I love caring for animals, I will make sure your pet is spoiled and happy! I love taking my pets I sit on adventures to parks if it is ok with the owner! I am detail oriented, therefore always aware of your pet and keeping them on their paws for new sniffs!

“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”

About: I have helped families take care of their pets (and kids!) for over 20 years! I just moved to Westerly with my husband, rescue pup, and sweet senior cat and we just had our first child. I enjoy helping families with their fur babies as I settle into being a stay at home mom! Depending on the baby’s schedule, sometimes my husband does the visits for me or we all go together with the baby in a carrier— let me know in advance if you have any issues. Being a mother is my full time job, so my schedule is very flexible! Feel free to inquire about a date that is marked unavailable. I take into consideration what each pet needs during my visits, whether that’s a long walk, a few rounds of fetch or just some cuddles.
About: I’m a 41 year old professional who loves animals. I have a 4 year old cat of my own and have always wanted a puppy as a child. Animals are loving and calming to me. I help care for them they help me. I will dog walk which keeps them happy and me active. I will drop in on cats and dogs to feed play with and help go to the bathroom. If it’s the right fit for your family and pup I would stay 1 night a week and definitely weekends overnight while people are away or traveling. I am an open communicator, reliable, respectful, trustworthy professional. Please get to know me so I can get to know you and your animal has the best experience possible. I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week. I have a yard on a dead end street, a big basement and am very close to Wilcox Park, ready for long walks in great neighborhood with lots to explore.
“Eugene was a very communicative and caring sitter. It was clear that he loves dogs and made us feel good about leaving our pup for the first time with a stranger. We would happily have him watch Zuzu again.”
“Jen is the best and is super flexible with our crazy schedules. She takes care of our little girl with the utmost care and love. Daisy is sad to go on vacation and miss Jen’s place!💕”

“Cory was a great communicator and was flexible when our schedule needed to be modified! She was out waiting for us for dropoff and brought our pup back to us promptly upon return. She sent photos and our pup seemed to have a great time!”
About: I believe that with age comes wisdom, patience, and experience that simply can’t be taught. I am lucky enough to have reached the age where I have gained said wisdom, patience, and experience that only age can bestow upon us! For this reason, in addition to my 30 years of experience caring for dogs is what I believe separates me from other pet sitters. I have over 30 years of experience caring for both large and small dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Over the years, I’ve developed not only strong, reliable caregiving skills but also a deep and genuine love for dogs. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that dogs are not “one size fits all.” Every dog has a unique personality, temperament, energy level, and set of needs. Some thrive on long walks and endless games of fetch, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddle time. I take the time to learn each dog’s routines, preferences, and comfort zones so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel secure and loved. Our family recently lost our beloved Chiweenie, Bailey, at 14 years old. She was truly part of our family, and caring for her through every stage of her life only deepened my understanding of the changing needs dogs have as they age. While we don’t currently have a dog, we are looking forward to welcoming the next fur baby into both our hearts and our home. My posted rates are all “starting at” rates. Once I meet a prospective family and learn more about their dog’s specific needs, we can always discuss and adjust rates accordingly. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing individualized, compassionate care for every dog entrusted to me. New Clients Use My Code For $20 Off of Your First Service! https://www.rover.com/sit/katiel73869 I care for your pet(s) the way I cared for my own pet; with love, careful attention, (not only for signs of what s/he may need, but also to help build a bond with your fur baby, and for safety), and respect. Your dog is welcome both on my couch and in my bed. If this is something that is against the rules in your home, please let me know so that I’m not unknowingly breaking your rules! The best way to explain how I will treat your dog is, “I will treat your dog(s) like I would treat my own,” or “I will treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat my dog!”

“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”

I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy.

I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care.

In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.

About: I was born in a household where I was surrounded by dogs. I have had 5 rescue dogs throughout my life. I started dog walking when I was ten years old, and have been dog walking/ dog sitting ever since. My family and I have a dog named Belle, who has been through extensive training, making me familiar with training. I’m also familiar with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I am on summer break, and would love to help out in anyway I can. Based on the service I am offering, I am familiar with crate/leash training. I am comfortable taking the dog/dogs for walks when needed! I can also feed the dogs as well.

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.
“Heidii is the absolute best! She was so attentive and loving, and sent the cutest photos. She really went above and beyond to show Sammy extra love and attention while I was out of town. When I got home he looked a little disappointed that it wasn’t Heidii… 🤣”
About: I have had experience with my own dog as well as watching & walking others’ pets since I was around 10 years old. I’ve also helped my sister with her Rover pets! I currently work from home. I am able to take multiple breaks during the work day. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time then and on the weekends to care for your pet! I also take walks myself daily and would love for your dog to join. I am all about the safety of your pet! Please let me know if they have a harness for walks, their reactions to other dogs/people, and if they need any special care.
About: Hello, I’m Rachel, a total animal-lover with over 15 years of pet care experience! I’m a nanny and hiking enthusiast who'd love to take your pet on a nice brisk walk or run! I’m also a renowned expert at "the art of the belly rub"--5 out of 5 furry friends recommend. If your pet has any kind of special need, I’m happy to accommodate! I’m experienced and comfortable with large dogs, senior pets, pets with behavioral issues, puppies, and administering oral or injectable medications. Whether you need me for daily walks, drop-ins, or desire extended overnight care, you can trust that when you leave your pets in my care, they are treated like family. Feel free to send me a message at any time :). I currently have flexible availability and can fit your pet care needs into my daily and weekly routine, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. For dog walking and check-in services, I will be sure to refresh your pet's water, play with them, and feed them if requested. Walks will be as long or short as needed, feel free to me know your pet's physical activity level and needs so I can provide the best possible exercise. When providing overnight care, I provide multiple updates daily with descriptions of your pet's day, along with photos, ensuring you don't miss a thing.
About: I’ve been working with and caring for animals my entire life. My experience includes working as a vet tech, groomer, trap & release, spay & nueter programs, pet sitting, dog walking, animal transport, rescue and fostering. I am also comforable with administering medications and working with all personality traits. I understand the pack dynamic and am not intimidated when handling multiple pet type homes and dogs of all sizes. I am patient and animals respond well to my calm and confident nature. I work full time through out the school year and part time during the summer and can easily adjust my work schedule to accommodate drop in visits and dog walking services. Visiting pets can be crated if needed or gated in their own room while I am away from home. While I am home they will be free to roam the house and enjoy outside time safely in my fenced in yard.
“Erin is absolutely fantastic and our dogs love her! I was able to connect with her same day and she was over at a moments notice. Immediately trusted her with my high energy German short hair to run/walk off leash. Birdie loves Erin and so do we!”
About: I am as reliable, flexible, and obsessed with animals as they come! Having grown up helping my parents with their petsitting business, I am experienced and familiar with the ins and outs of caring for other people's pets and homes. I also have three cats of my own who are the loves of my life, and have lived with several wonderful dogs over the years. As a long time Rover user, I know all too well how important it is for a sitter to send timely, thoughtful, and detailed updates after each visit. I strive to provide the same level of communication that I'd hope to receive about my own pets because I know how much this helps put your mind at ease while you're away. In addition to the services listed on my profile, I'm eager to help out in other ways that you might need - watering plants, receiving packages/bringing in the mail, etc. I'm happy to discuss this in more detail if there's anything else I can do for you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I care for pets full-time, which allows me to be adaptable to other people's varying schedules when needed. Plans change, and things happen! We'll make it work. The flexibility in my schedule allows me to accommodate last minute bookings under most circumstances. I currently cannot care for pets in my home, as I unfortunately do not have the space needed to provide this service to customers right now.
About: I’m a 41 year old professional who loves animals. I have a 4 year old cat of my own and have always wanted a puppy as a child. Animals are loving and calming to me. I help care for them they help me. I will dog walk which keeps them happy and me active. I will drop in on cats and dogs to feed play with and help go to the bathroom. If it’s the right fit for your family and pup I would stay 1 night a week and definitely weekends overnight while people are away or traveling. I am an open communicator, reliable, respectful, trustworthy professional. Please get to know me so I can get to know you and your animal has the best experience possible. I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week. I have a yard on a dead end street, a big basement and am very close to Wilcox Park, ready for long walks in great neighborhood with lots to explore.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. We have always had multiple at a time. I am very comfortable with all dog types and sizes. Do not mind walking or caring for multiple dogs at once. Also have lived with cats and enjoy being with them as well! My work schedule varies every week. I choose my schedule on a month to month basis. I am out of town sometimes for work. But my schedule can be flexible. I have a fenced in yard and big area to run around and play. Do not mind crating if needed and what you’re comfortable with for your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 15 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. Until recently, I had my own senior dog and had taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!
About: I’ve grown up caring for both a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I regularly dog sat a corgi named Allen for two years, giving me hands-on experience with consistent routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also great with maintaining structure, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules or making sure energetic dogs get the exercise they need. I currently work part-time, but I have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I am unavailable on Friday nights, but I’m happy to help with mornings, afternoons, and other evenings. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I’m always attentive to their needs. I make sure doors and leashes are secure, provide plenty of care and supervision, and communicate with you so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Mike was prompt and so patient with my granddog. Cash wasn’t cooperating and was very anxious, but Mike was willing to spend more time getting the dog to feel more comfortable. I really appreciated his effort. I would definitely use Mike again”
About: Rest assured, your pet will get the best care and a new goofy nickname! I’ve trained puppies, cats and even a guinea pig. I’m work from home, and can give your pet all the attention it requires and wants. I’m work from home and can travel anywhere with wifi. I’m able to do whatever schedule you need! Very flexible and very accommodating to last minute needs or extensions. Consistency is everything, bathroom breaks and feeding schedules set. I’ve cared for all types of animals and would love to care for your furry friend.

“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
“Dana's boarding home is a pet oasis!! Our pets returned to us as if they had received some sort of week long puppy spa treatment, they were calm, happy and just overall well. Our neurotic belgian shepherd finally learned to relax and literally returned to us a well adjusted dog. We are so grateful: Thank you Dana!!!”
“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”
“Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!”
“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Eugene was amazing with Penny. He took her on walks to the park and to the beach. He has a fenced in back yard where she ran around chasing toys. He even gave her a chamomile bath! He sent plenty of photos of the fun.”
“Can not say enough good things about Shauna & Nixley. I was nervous to leave my Roxy for nine days while I was on vacation, but they both made me feel very reassured with multiple updates/pictures. Couldn't be happier with the way she was taken care of and spoiled as if she were home with me :-) I highly recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and 3 dogs of my own as an adult. I currently have a 4 year old sheepdog mix, she is the light of my life. I am fully retired and looking to keep busy and earn a little money, taking care of your pet(s) as though they were my own. I am retired and enjoy spending my days with a fitness class and being outdoors as much as possible. I’m readily available to provide undivided attention to your furry family member(s). Play dates with my pup are an option as well as boarding in my home. I always use a leash. My home has a fenced yard. I will pick up after the pet, feed, medicate, etc. I will treat your pet and your home as I would my own.
“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”
About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Elisa was wonderful with communication and updates for my Bru, as well as very responsive. Very easy and professional to book with and very trustworthy. Would absolutely use her services again in the future. 🐾”
“Nina was great and we will definitely use her again. She had no problem managing our playful puppy, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of her. She was great at communicating and our puppy returned to us happy and healthy.”
