“melanie was amazing :) with this being our first time leaving our benji with a sitter she was so kind to answer all our questions she was patient and sent us updates along with pictures which was very comforting to know benji was in good hands . she’s the best !!”
“I highly recommend Emilee for any pet sitting needs! She made my first time having my cat board with someone a stress free experience! Emilee went above and beyond to be accommodating to schedule changes and provided daily updates with photo, as well as groomed my cat! She is fantastic and really helped ease my worries leaving my cat!”
“Samantha was great with our Nico and he played well with her German Shepard Lady ♥️ We booked last minute and was happy she accommodated us. She kept us informed with how Nico was doing and sent us pictures through out the day. We will definitely be using her devices again. We recommend her to anyone.”
“Sarah and Hagan took great care of my dogs for the week they had them. They have a very nice and clean kennel setup with ample room in a fenced off area for dogs to run around. My dogs were happy and well cared for when I picked them up.”
“Harley’s experience was wonderful. She enjoyed playing with their family dogs and cooling off in their kiddie pool. We enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of her having a great time during her visit. Our experience was also wonderful. They were very flexible for us with drop off and pick up when our plans changed. They even let us know when she ran out of food and offered to pick her up some for us. They went above and beyond and took great care of our Harley girl. Very grateful, would 100% recommend and will use them for future trips. Would give them more stars if I could!”
“This was the first time ever using a pet sitter that wasn’t family or close friends and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mel, she is truly the best! From beginning to end there were no complications. Mel was so accommodating and quick to respond. We were out of the country for 2 weeks and received so many videos, pictures, & updates on how our Delilah was doing. I will be recommending Mel’s services to everyone I know and whoever reads this I have no doubt your fur baby will be in great hands.”
“To tell you that Rachel and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our fur baby Hank, would not do them justice. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos throughout the day to let me know what Hank was up to and show me how much fun he was having at their house. They made sure to follow his feeding schedule, brushed him, ran him, and cuddled him all weekend. Their two pups are so friendly and welcomed my guy into their pack instantly. I knew he was in good hands with Rachel and her family. I didn’t have to worry about him while my husband and I were out of town, so we were able to enjoy our anniversary trip while he was on a little vacation of his own! I’m telling you, as a crazy worrier dog mom, I won’t think twice about leaving Hank with them in the future. If you need a sitter, these people are the people!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer she does an amazing job we will definitely be having her watch our fur babies again if we ever need someone, she kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures and always made sure the dogs had what they needed!! Thank you!”
“We love Whitney! She’s such an amazing sitter. Asher always has a great time. She always makes sure the pups mesh well together and will try her best to accommodate where she can. 5 stars every single time.”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“Jenn was beyond amazing! She cared for our boy Loki as her own and made sure to keep him fulfilled and entertained throughout his stay. Went above and beyond to help him feel welcome, happy, and loved 😊 The backyard was an advantage as well and a very safe space! Very grateful for all the pictures and updates she would send even if it was just something simple, made us feel connected with Loki while away ❤️ He had an amazing time with Jenn and Millie! Loki definitely loved his stay and we will for sure be messaging for future stays!”
“Michele is the best, a kind hearted person with a gentle animal loving spirit. My little Archie was quickly at ease under her watch. Her setup for dog care is unrivaled in our community. 10/10- I will use her services again!”
“Nicole was very patient with this nervous dog momma! She made sure Diesel was comfortable while introducing him to other dogs! Thanks to her, he made new friends! I'll definitely use her again for boarding or even walks! Diesel loved her, too!”
“Poria is amazing! My dog Bonnie didn’t want to leave! This time we had another puppy Winston stay with her and it was his first time away from home. She made both him and us feel comfortable and at ease. Always 5 star service”
About: I myself am a dog owner. I have one shitzus who is 16 years old and a new Jack Russell puppy who is now 5 years old. I love playing tug a war. Running with them. Cudding and talking to them.

I’m living with my best friends but are apartment complex is super friendly to animals! We have a dog park and many more! My besties both are big dog lovers. I myself love all animals. I do have a part time job I do get my schedule during the end of the week. So just communicate with me if you want something done a certain way or have a schedule you ALWAYS follow. I am a friendly and open person. So don't be afraid to talk to me. I work from home so I just stay home most of the time. I’m more of a gamer and I like to watch anime. So I’ll be there to snuggle and give your pets love and kisses! And feed them. Well I have a a fenced back yard!:3 where they can play and have fun! We also have a little dog park that I can walk with them to. I just let them be themselves. I want them to feel that they are happy with me and safe. I work from home and by the time the time I work all the babies will be in bed and have gone to the bathroom one final time. So I'm mostly free throughout the day. We have a fenced yard where they can run around and play outside! Plus plenty of space inside for them to walk around and explore

“Michelle made being away from home an absolute breeze, I usually leave my cats with friends for the weekend but I just moved and haven’t been able to find anyone I know. Grateful for someone that was able to provide me with updates and check in on anything needed each visit. The communication was great and I hope to be able to have her check in on my pets anytime I’m out of town!”
“We were going on our first weeklong trip since adopting our cats, and we felt a bit anxious. Thankfully, Kelsey was incredible! She showered our cats with love and kept us updated on how they were doing. This reassurance allowed us to fully enjoy our time away, knowing that our girls were in good hands.”
“Our kitty absolutely loved Sarah and she is usually very shy with new people. Sarah communicated any questions with us prior to the visit and we loved getting to know her. We will certainly contact her for any future cat sitting needs 🐈”
“Shaniese was excellent and insanely punctual. She made sure to send us plenty of photos and videos of our fur baby, which really gave us some peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be booking her for any future pet sitting we might possibly need.”
“Madison was great with my cats while I was gone for a long weekend! She was extremely flexible with their specific individual dietary needs and went above and beyond with their care! I will definitely be a returning customer :)”
“Amanda was phenomenal with our cat Moose she checked in on him as promised and filled out a report card daily with pictures. She followed instructions and made sure that our feeder and camera were set each night. We will definitely will be using her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Katrina was so so sweet with my kitties :) She took great care of both of them, and made sure to give them some extra love while I was gone. I loved getting pictures of them while I was away— my kitties and I are grateful!”
“The cats are alive. You can't really tell with cats, but Lydia sent pictures every day of them mostly sleeping as again they're cats. They ignored me completely when I got home which was to be expected so Lydia did an excellent job of caring for the cats while I was gone.”
About: Our 2-acre property has a fenced yard for constantly-available playtime and direct access to Hitchcock Woods for the dogs who love to hike! We have a high energy dog, two cats, and a toddler who looooves to pet and play with animals, so party pets only! We work from home with Fridays off every week. Our dog takes at least one long walk a day with plenty of play time outside if weather allows. In order to keep your pet exercised and happy, we expect good leash behavior and the ability to respond to basic commands- or at least be able to listen to "no" to make all of our lives less stressful! We lavish all our boarders with the same attention, snuggles, and exercise-balanced treats that our pets love. Since our cats have been part of the family the longest, your dog will need to be able to refrain from chasing them, so they can enjoy all their usual nap spots. While we love a guest, the safety and happiness of our full time residents is non-negotiable. We crate for sleeping so your pet can have a "home base" and not get up to trouble in an unfamiliar environment. We are happy to share Rascal's food, but if your dog has a sensitive stomach or a special diet, then they will need to bring their own food. We also expect them to arrive with their own leash, collar (with ID tag), crate or carrier for sleeping, and any toys, blankets, or other comfort items that smell like home to relax them and set them up for success during their stay with us. We can't wait to love on your pet!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Aiken
“Ms Kim always takes excellent care of my girls. They are puppies, with lots of energy and my schedule is not always reliable to be the same. She is great to work with and provides open communication about the status of my fur babies. Peanut and Dot love daycare days! 🐾”
“Laura took excellent care of my girl Lucy. She kept me updated throughout the day with comments and pictures. It was obvious Lucy enjoyed herself. I will be sure to ask Laura to care for Lucy or her sister and brother Gretta and Hawk in the future.”
About: I've taken care of dogs (of various breeds) since I was in middle school. I have done short-term and long-term care both out of my house or going over to the owner's house. I am a very calm and reassuring person and have worked with both young and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate who is currently applying to post-graduate programs and jobs, so I have great flexibility in my schedule when I am not helping my grandmother with errands or volunteering at Greendale Elementary (on Tuesday and Thursday mornings). I can do any weekday besides Wednesday afternoons. I can do most times on the weekends unless I have a prior engagement planned. I can do Christmas/Winter Break, but I will be away for Thanksgiving this year. I have a fenced-in yard and have plenty of room for housing your pet as there are no other pets in the house currently. The neighborhood is very safe and has walking paths for walking pets. I am also happy to drop in or stay at your home if that is more comfortable for your pet (or you)!
About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!
“Very pleasant young lady. Took excellent care of my little girl cotton. Thanks for the picture updates!!! They put my mind at ease. This was my first time using Rover and thanks to Nahla it won’t be my last!!!”
“Hillary was great. My dogs had a good day and came home tired. They got to run and play ball. She even cut their nails which they never let me do but let her. She is great with them.”
About: I have owned dogs for over 34 years. Our dogs have ranged from Great Pyreneese and Grey Hounds down to 5 pound chihuahuas. Our last dog (Jack the teacup Chihuahua) lived until he was 18 years old. We decided it would be fun to help others board their beloved dogs as we had the privilege of using house sitters many times over the last 34 years. I am an adjunct faculty at a nearby University and teach almost exclusively online. My schedule at home is pretty much that of a stay at home mom. My husband and I love to take long walks and have always in the past included our dogs. We have a large home (2700 square ft) with no stairs. We have a large fenced in backyard and we do have an in ground pool. I always go outside with our dogs as I do not trust hawks and owls (especially with small breeds) and not all dogs are familiar with pools. I love to share my couch with pets to get extra cuddle time in. We allow dogs in every room of our home and invite smaller dogs into bed with us. Food and water is always available (except when an owner wants a specific schedule). Most of the home is wood floors with the exception of our living room.
About: HI!! My name is Quyon but i go by Q ! Im 27 years old and i live in aiken South Carolina. I have completed the Veterinary Assistant Course at Aiken Technical College and completed 102 CEU Credits interning at The Ark Animal Hospital and Wagner Veterinary Clinic.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog sitter for over 12 years now. From assisting with the birth of puppies and kittens, to helping our older babies get out of their bed, and holding their paw while they take their last breaths, I’ve done it all. I truly have a passion for animals and want to provide them with the best life possible. After all, they are our best friends! I have experience with epileptic, pregnant and in heat, sick, physically disabled, and as I mentioned, new borns and older dogs! I have a very open schedule! I’m free in the mornings, nights, middle of the day, and on weekends. whenever you need me, I’m here! I never let the dogs out without a leash at my house, no matter how experienced they are with the area or how well they listen. Their safety is my biggest priority. Let me know your preferences and guidelines to follow!
About: I have always had a passion for loving and caring for animals. I am working on a change of career and want to earn extra income and hope to slowly transition to being able to do more through Rover. I have grown up with animals and have cared for everything from a duck to a horse. My grandparents owned a farm and I took care of and trained the horses and also caref for the dog and cats on the farm. I also have fostered through the Humane Society to help dogs and cats find their furever home. I can't wait to get to know your fur baby and help you with their care and everyday life. I love walking around at parks and certain trails. I can stay in the neighborhood, as well, if preferred. Let me know if they have a favorite treat or particular way they like to walk or play. I am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old who loves all animals. This will give her the opportunity to socialize with more animals. This will also provide more opportunities to teach her responsibility through watching how I care for animals. I usually check the pets water and food, if asked. I give medicine the ones who need it. For dogs, I usually include a short walk so they can potty or let them out into their yard. For cats, I’ll try to engage in play for a little bit so they can get some exercise in, as well.
“Payton did such an amazing job taking care of my baby Cally! My pup was so happy from the first moment she walked into her house. I feel completely comfortable knowing she is watching her. She kept me updated through out the day and even send me pictures. Highly recommended!”

I’ve had the unique experience of breeding Boxers for a few years. As a breeder I have cared for newborn puppies, deworming, administering shots, and potty training them until eventually finding them forever homes. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur baby and set their minds at ease until you return. I am retired and I’m ready to start a hobby that I will love.

“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”
About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.
About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for the past year and a half in my hometown Aiken where I feed, water and give any special needs to dogs and cats. I also have experience pet sitting at peoples homes. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of South Carolina as a biology major. I have availability after all of my classes which end around noon most days. I am available most weekends and most week weekday evenings for any services and I am able to housesit with pets including stay the night at your home. I will feed your dogs and play with your dogs. Take them for walks or any special medicines your pet may have I will be able to give. if there is any special request, I would be happy to talk to you about it.
About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. I am currently in college at USCA and I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.
About: I have taken care of many animals on my life time…from cats and dogs to a gecko and bunny! And I loved it all! Animals are family members and they will be given the best treatment while you’re away on a trip, out for the night, or at work! Missing pets while you’re away is tough, so many photos will be sent your way if you’d like! I’d love to pet sit, dog walk, let out your animals, etc! They deserve the best care! I am available Fridays and Saturdays, Sunday afternoons, and Monday-Thursday after 5:30 pm! Just message me and I will get back to you asap on availability! I understand things come up and you may need help quick! I treat all pets with the most care. They are amazing, kind, and funny! I have two cats at home and they are my babies!
About: Why should you consider entrusting your precious pup to my care? These 7 reasons may be important to you: - Your dog(s) will have 100% of my care and attention! I only host one client's dog(s) at a time, and I don't have any pets of my own (just great memories.) When your pup stays with me they'll feel like it's their home away from home, where they're loved and cherished.. My rate is higher than some because of this limitation; in return, my dedication to your pet's personal needs is unsurpassed - as you can see from my excellent reviews. (NOTE: I will take care of up to 2 dogs from the same family.) - I am a totally devoted dog lover. Dogs come first in my book. Caring, paying attention to the the ways in which they communicate, ensuring they are happy, calm, secure puppies... makes me happy! - I'm quite comfortable with very large dogs, and also have experience with dogs who experience separation anxiety issues. - I follow your directions! Your wish is my command regarding food, walks, verbal commands to use, toys, and any other special instructions. - I am a mature, dependable adult; have raised children; own my own home; no smoking, no drugs. You can trust me to make responsible decisions in an emergency. - I have a big yard that outdoorsy dogs really enjoy for potty breaks, playing catch, soaking up the sun, and supervising squirrels. - I have a quiet home (kids grown, beloved pets long gone) where I spend most days doing internet research and writing; lots of time for hanging out with and being a companion to your pet(s). I'm also within a short drive of the dog park and hiking trails, if that's appropriate to your pet's disposition and exercise abilities. Why I love dog sitting My family always had dogs: everything from Great Danes to Pomeranians, from show dogs to rescue dogs. Personally I have always felt a strong bond and mutual understanding with dogs. Since my last dog passed away, I have looked for the opportunity to spend time with canine friends, and Rover has provided a great opportunity for me to do just that. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and have special understanding of dogs with separation anxiety and geriatric dogs. Meet my pets No other pets here - just yours! Looking forward to meeting! About my yard I have a big backyard that has lots of areas to explore all fully-fenced and dog friendly. The back yard is great for quick rest-stop needs (eg, if nature calls in the middle of the night) and on beautiful days it's nice to just hang out there and watch the squirrels and birds in the trees. My experience administering medication I'm comfortable administering oral and noninvasive medications, but not comfortable doing injections. When I'm caring for a pet I really enjoy their company, so spend most of the time hanging out with them or taking them places with me, if appropriate depending on the pet. If your pet has special needs like separation anxiety or a strict medication schedule, I plan my schedule around their care and comfort. I have a big, fully fenced back yard that is wonderful for sniffing around, playing fetch, watching birds and squirrels, and hanging out together when the weather's nice. In the house your pup is welcome to hang out wherever I am at the moment - kitchen, desk, bedroom. Sleeping arrangements will be per your instructions.
About: I have been volunteering at animal shelters all over the East coast for almost 20 years and have a Chihuahua mix rescue of my own who is my whole world. I grew up with large and small dogs, cats, frogs, hamsters, and horses. I will care for your animals as I do my own! My number one priority is to put your mind at ease and keep your pet happy and healthy. I know first hand it can stressful finding good care for your pets, so I pride myself on being communicative, attentive, and providing top quality care. I work full time with some flexibility, and am home during lunch everyday, but am most available on weekends. Due to the nature of my job, some weeks I am more free than others so don’t hesitate to reach out! I will treat your pet and home as I do my own. I love all types of dogs and understand some may require different care than others. Each pet is just as unique as we are! My dog Declan loves to play with dogs big and small. Please let me know if your dog does NOT do well with small dogs.
About: I would love to take your fur babies out for walks and drop in on them to play. I have always had my own and i know how lonely it can be for them to be alone while their parents are at work. I can take them for nice long walk and even run with them if they are a little more energetic. i can always make sure they have enough food and water to get them through the day. I love to play catch and can take them to dog parks and let them get socialized with other dogs. I have my own baby they can even play together. I am so very excited to potentially work with you and your loving fur baby. I also have a very loving dog and if you are comfortable with it he really likes to play with other dogs.
About: I have always been around pets I love animals like they were my own and make them a priority when I can care for them! I am a missionary here in Aiken county so all my days look a bit different but very flexible and I often work from home I try to build a safe trust between me and the pet I am entering into their space to care for them and love them

We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!
About: HI!! My name is Quyon but i go by Q ! Im 27 years old and i live in aiken South Carolina. I have completed the Veterinary Assistant Course at Aiken Technical College and completed 102 CEU Credits interning at The Ark Animal Hospital and Wagner Veterinary Clinic. To care for anything living is truly remarkable but to love and care for animals is the greatest reward! Right next to face licks and fury hugs! I was introduced to rover from a friend when i needed a sitter and i decided that since im in a position to offer help i will. Feel free to ask me anything im as cool as a cucumber lol maybe a bad joke lol I am currently not working at the moment due to just completing school and wanting a break. This offers me a way to make money and still include the care and compassion i will use in my future endeavors. I live in a spacious apartment. I have no problem taking them to a fenced animal park or for a walk through the neighborhood to enjoy so fresh air and new views
About: I'm Emily and I may or may or not be the worlds biggest animal lover! I grew up on a ranch in Texas and here in South Carolina working with and taking care of all types of animals, from bunnies to pheasants, pigs to horses. If it has legs and a cute furry face I have probably bottle fed it and raised it! I have fond memories of bottle feeding a pack rat in my teens and no my parents were not pleased =) I once bottle fed a litter of 5 kittens from birth, they all thrived and it was an amazing experience. I completed 7 years in the US Navy and for the past few years I have been mom Emily to my 3 boys. You CAN trust your house and pets with me. I currently have a flexible schedule! We can find a solution to your needs. My 3 cats are grumpy and persnickety, trust me, they wont miss me=) I am not currently watching any dogs or cats in my home, aforementioned 3 cats would be displeased BUT I can provide excellent care in clients homes.
About: I am a recently graduated student that is local to the area. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and turtles but I'm always looking for something new. The age and weight of animals have I have cared for is varied. I'm used to giving medication if needed. While owners are away they will always know if something is wrong with their house or pets and will not lack on receiving picture updates from their furry babies. I do work full time 4 days a week. If that presents a problem with your dog’s bathroom schedule then I can bring in one of my back up sitters. I do approve the sitter and schedule with you ahead of time to ensure that you know who will be in your house and around your animals. Whatever keeps your pets happy and safe. I like to ensure that pets are exercised and loved thoroughly. Your animals will be nothing short of happy while I’m in your house taking care of them. You will always know if I feel like something may be off with them.
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have grown up with all sizes and types of dogs and cats as well as other animals such as reptiles. Taking care of animals fills me with a sense of joy and love that you can't get anywhere else. I have a cat of my own that I take care of every single day as well as helping my partner take care of our dog and their 2 cats. I will not be bringing pets to my home, as I do not have a home adequate for pet sitting. Thank you so very much. I have my adorable loving cat that I take care of daily! I make sure he gets exercise, he has water, and his food it good to go. Weekly little box cleanings and bowl cleanings. I make sure that I take care of my pet and others pets by following the rules and guidelines that have been set forth in front of me. Whether that be your basic care for the animal or a person's personal preferences on how they would prefer their pets to be cared for.

Emilee went above and beyond to be accommodating to schedule changes and provided daily updates with photo, as well as groomed my cat! She is fantastic and really helped ease my worries leaving my cat!”
“Samantha was great with our Nico and he played well with her German Shepard Lady ♥️ We booked last minute and was happy she accommodated us. She kept us informed with how Nico was doing and sent us pictures through out the day. We will definitely be using her devices again. We recommend her to anyone.”
“Sarah and Hagan took great care of my dogs for the week they had them. They have a very nice and clean kennel setup with ample room in a fenced off area for dogs to run around. My dogs were happy and well cared for when I picked them up.”
“Harley’s experience was wonderful. She enjoyed playing with their family dogs and cooling off in their kiddie pool. We enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of her having a great time during her visit. Our experience was also wonderful. They were very flexible for us with drop off and pick up when our plans changed. They even let us know when she ran out of food and offered to pick her up some for us. They went above and beyond and took great care of our Harley girl. Very grateful, would 100% recommend and will use them for future trips. Would give them more stars if I could!”
“This was the first time ever using a pet sitter that wasn’t family or close friends and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mel, she is truly the best! From beginning to end there were no complications. Mel was so accommodating and quick to respond. We were out of the country for 2 weeks and received so many videos, pictures, & updates on how our Delilah was doing. I will be recommending Mel’s services to everyone I know and whoever reads this I have no doubt your fur baby will be in great hands.”
“To tell you that Rachel and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our fur baby Hank, would not do them justice. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos throughout the day to let me know what Hank was up to and show me how much fun he was having at their house. They made sure to follow his feeding schedule, brushed him, ran him, and cuddled him all weekend. Their two pups are so friendly and welcomed my guy into their pack instantly. I knew he was in good hands with Rachel and her family. I didn’t have to worry about him while my husband and I were out of town, so we were able to enjoy our anniversary trip while he was on a little vacation of his own! I’m telling you, as a crazy worrier dog mom, I won’t think twice about leaving Hank with them in the future. If you need a sitter, these people are the people!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer she does an amazing job we will definitely be having her watch our fur babies again if we ever need someone, she kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures and always made sure the dogs had what they needed!! Thank you!”

“Michele is the best, a kind hearted person with a gentle animal loving spirit. My little Archie was quickly at ease under her watch. Her setup for dog care is unrivaled in our community. 10/10- I will use her services again!”
“Nicole was very patient with this nervous dog momma! She made sure Diesel was comfortable while introducing him to other dogs! Thanks to her, he made new friends! I'll definitely use her again for boarding or even walks! Diesel loved her, too!”
About: I myself am a dog owner. I have one shitzus who is 16 years old and a new Jack Russell puppy who is now 5 years old. I love playing tug a war. Running with them. Cudding and talking to them. I can never find a dog who loves taking a bath because for some reason my dogs don't but, they love to have their hair combed. I have a open home and let them run around inside and outside. My dogs usually sleep on my bed. I love cuddling with my dogs during the rain it's fun to know they have someone to rely on. I am a soon to be college student. I’m living with my best friends but are apartment complex is super friendly to animals! We have a dog park and many more! My besties both are big dog lovers. I myself love all animals. I do have a part time job I do get my schedule during the end of the week. So just communicate with me if you want something done a certain way or have a schedule you ALWAYS follow. I am a friendly and open person. So don't be afraid to talk to me. I work from home so I just stay home most of the time. I’m more of a gamer and I like to watch anime. So I’ll be there to snuggle and give your pets love and kisses! And feed them. Well I have a a fenced back yard!:3 where they can play and have fun! We also have a little dog park that I can walk with them to. I just let them be themselves. I want them to feel that they are happy with me and safe. I work from home and by the time the time I work all the babies will be in bed and have gone to the bathroom one final time. So I'm mostly free throughout the day. We have a fenced yard where they can run around and play outside! Plus plenty of space inside for them to walk around and explore
“Payton took great care of our baby while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates with pictures. We felt at ease that our pup was being cared for well.”
“Laura went above and beyond with our mini bernadoodle From backyard play to walks in the woods and friendly strolls downtown, she kept his interest level high throughout their 3 days together.. Every request we made was met with enthusiasm. Photos and comments too. He was a happy pooch when we picked him up. We will return without hesitation. 5 stars!! Thank you Laura!!”
“Leanna was absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She made sure they felt right at home while we were away. She went way above and beyond. I will be recommending her to everyone I know.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
