Our girls love going to grandma's house! We jokingly say that because it is exactly how it feels - the atmosphere, the comfort, Evelyn's sweet demeanor. She takes great care of our girls and really does care. We can't recommend her enough!

Brennen was outstanding. She has an obvious and natural love for animals. My dogs Rosie and Rudie immediately felt at home in her care - in fact, I think she "spoiled them." Communication was excellent. Brennen's children were wonderful with the dogs, and both dogs immediately fell in love with them. Brennan's own dog was well behaved and welcoming to mine. I would recommend Brennen and her family without hesitation.

They have great communication and always responds quickly. They provided us services for 6 days and we received pics daily!!

Ms. Monica provided amazing service! She maintained communication and provided pictures and video!! My little pup looked so sweet and peaceful with her. She made us feel like a loved family member! When we picked Bentley up, he was right there cuddled up with her. He even let her touch his paws, which he does not let people he has just met, so. She was very knowledgeable about the large and small, no detail not considered, for example, the type of grass she has and why(because it’s beneficial for doggies)! My pup stayed with a family member as far as I’m concerned and we are ssoooo grateful!! Book with Ms. Monica, because I promise you, you will rest assured knowing your fur baby is with someone that cares for them just as much as you do, shoot maybe even more lol! Thanks Ms. Monica, we will be back!

Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

She keeps me updated with photos, makes sure their food and water is good, and keeps their litter boxes and surrounding area clean. Knowing they're receiving such thoughtful care has given me so much peace of mind while we're away. I truly appreciate her reliability, communication, and the genuine care she shows my pets.

Fantastic sitter! Kirsten is very responsive and super sweet to your pets. She handled our cat's odd litter (wood pellet) without issue, which made everything super smooth! Her cat, Momo, was also super gentle and accepting of our Mindy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will be holding onto her info for when we need a sitter again!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail-oriented cat lover who genuinely enjoys creating a calm and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I currently have three cats - all with very different personalities. One very anxious and shy (especially with sitters) - but this is the reason I know how taxing pet boarding can be on cats. One with special dietary needs. And another who is very outgoing and playful - one-on-one attention and playtime with her is so important to her well-being. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat's personality and making sure their needs are met (as well as yours as a cat owner!) I know every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent. I’m happy to work at their pace and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home and routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house sitting if needed. I also know how important communication is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Outside of pet sitting, I come from a background in customer service and public relations, which has made me very organized, communicative, and attentive to details. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for both you and your cats!

About: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.

About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.

About: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!

We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

About: Hi, I’m Erica! As a military spouse and lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find safe, reliable, and loving care when you're away. I provide exclusive, one-family-at-a-time boarding, so your dog(s) will receive my full attention in a calm, personalized environment. Dogs in my care enjoy supervised, free roam of our home and daily play in our large, fully fenced yard, along with plenty of affection and enrichment. I have two friendly resident dogs: Leela, a sweet 6-year-old Lab mix, and a playful 8-month-old Lab puppy. Together, we go on daily walks and enjoy lots of backyard fun. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and completed multiple training courses, so I’m confident handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Starting June 1, I’ll be offering boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks full-time from my home in Dalzell, SC. In May, I’m available evenings and weekends. I also have base access for drop-ins, pick-ups, and walks—just 10 minutes from the back gate. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. My own dogs are on a consistent routine that includes daily walks, playtime in our large fenced backyard, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. I’m used to adjusting our schedule to meet the needs of the pets in my care—whether it’s administering medications, sticking to a feeding schedule, or making sure high-energy pups get lots of exercise. Starting in June, pet care will be my full-time focus, and I’m excited to welcome dogs into our home as part of our daily routine! When caring for pets in my home, they become part of our family. Dogs have full access to the home and our large fenced backyard for play, potty breaks, and relaxation throughout the day. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s meal times, walk schedules, or bedtime habits. We go on daily walks and have lots of playtime and affection to keep them happy, calm, and engaged. If I’m visiting a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. I ensure pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, and comforted during each visit. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, or send regular updates with photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

I can easily crate your dog if wanted, bathe and trim nails, and take them for walks or any other requested activities!

Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.

About: When it comes to family pets, from tiny little munchkin cat breed all the way to Irish Wolfhound, they all deserve the love and respect as a extended family member (or sometime even as our own fur baby). Being raised around Chows and Aussie Shepards, I have experience in both “aggressive” and friendly breeds. A critter is only as bad as the owner. As long as there is at least 24-48hr notification, I’m a pretty flexible person. Seven days a week I’d be available to drop in and say hi, play a little, feed and do potty breaks. Clean as I go to include litter boxes. If being asked to stay overnight, it would be at your location for the best comfort of the animal. My house is a fenced in yard. We typically, based on weather, have my pups run outside once very 2/3 hours. Outside of that, we do regular walks up to 2 miles at least twice a week (again, based on weather). We play games like catch and hidden treat games for enrichment. For the family cat, he is currently maintained by one of my kids but, we allow him free roam and sometimes trips outside on a leash. He has a XXL dog kennel that we will set up when we are outside and he wants to join us to ensure he is bird safe. He very much likes to be a window watcher and enjoys the squirrels a little more than my dogs.

Karli did a great job taking care of our dog, Henry. She was on time for each visit and spent extra time caring for our fur baby. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. ????

About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats, disabled pets as well, and I’ve been doing it since I was young. Many family members and friends have relied on me to care for their pets and give them the love they need. I am currently in college, but I have a somewhat flexible schedule and I can make trips as needed. I work on campus as well, but I make my own schedule! I am comfortable in most homes, only requiring than in an overnight stay, a friend or family member stay the night with me the first night so that I may get settled and comfortable.

About: I’ll take good care of your babies!! I love animals and I’ve had a lot of experience with them! I have a Rottweiler who is extremely socialized and friendly with other animals. I can deal with any large breed or “aggressive” breed. I live in an apartment complex with 2 dog parks and plenty of dog friendly people. :) I’m currently not working this month so I will be available 24/7. My schedule is very relaxed right now so I can tend to the furry friends in whatever way! :) I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of room to run around. I do have a Rottweiler who is a female, but she is extremely friendly and socialized with other humans/dogs. There are 2 dog parks in my complex with plenty of running room.

Brennen was outstanding. She has an obvious and natural love for animals. My dogs Rosie and Rudie immediately felt at home in her care - in fact, I think she "spoiled them." Communication was excellent. Brennen's children were wonderful with the dogs, and both dogs immediately fell in love with them. Brennan's own dog was well behaved and welcoming to mine. I would recommend Brennen and her family without hesitation.

We had a great experience with Janece and Matthew. After the original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly, we reached out to them and received a response immediately. They have great communication and always responds quickly. They provided us services for 6 days and we received pics daily!! I would highly recommend them for services, we will certainly book with them again ?

If you're looking for a sitter for your pet, you won't find any better than Leigh. She takes really good care of my dog every time. My pup is always happy to stay with Leigh and sad to leave. He loves the playtime with the other dogs. Something he cant get at home.

Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊

About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

Lauren is amazing! She watched my two dogs last minute, followed their feeding and medication schedule, took them on walks, and sent lots of photos and updates. I always am nervous to leave my dogs somewhere new and she completely put me at ease. My pups came back happy and relaxed, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

I received daily updates, pictures, and videos, so I knew she was in great hands! Sage was excited to see Yentl when she was dropped off! That let's me know she is loved when she is there ♥️.

Amanda was great, just like family. Her 3 little kids kept my old pup Sophie busy playing and getting smothered with attention. She has a big yard and a big house so Sophie could have her own space if she wanted. She was also available for a last minute booking which was really good for us.

About: I have over 13 years of experience as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive knowledge of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like family and provide compassionate, personalized care for pets of all ages and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time, but I am available for morning and evening visits throughout the week and have additional availability on weekends. I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection they need, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I strive to maintain their pet’s normal schedule with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for pets with special needs when needed. I always prioritize safety and closely monitor for any signs of illness or stress.
