“Brenner and her family are awesome. They loved and cared for our Teagan as if she was their pet. We were updated with photos & it was clear our high energy, mischievous dog was happy and well taken cared of. All 5 stars for them. We highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“Martina was a great sitter to Sadé! She gave Sadé plenty of outside time and her kids were great with Sadé as well. She was accommodating and flexible with her schedule. I will definitely book again!”
“Shannon was great with our pet Zeke in booking a last minute reservation. She was great with communication and photos while we were away which helped with ease of mind. She seemed experienced in pet care and that was also a plus. We would definitely bring Zeke back for a future visit.”
“Jennifer did an outstanding job of caring for our dog, Casper, for a week. Casper had plenty of playmates and was very comfortable. Jennifer sent us messages and photos almost daily. We highly recommend her.”
“Took very good care of my boy! He went on so many adventures and had lots of fun. She also provided a lot of photos which are always appreciated! Great communication and would 100% trust her with my Dog again!”

“Robert has my highest recommendation! He checked on my 3 cats for 2 weeks while I was away and did a wonderful job, even going above and beyond. He made sure they were taken care of and sent me humorous updates every day. The communication was great, asked questions if needed and let me know anything going on with the house or cats, or any change in plans.

I am extremely grateful for all he did while I was away to be able to trust that my babies were in good hands - awesome cat sitter!!”

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.

“Brennen provided a great sitting experience for our puppy. She answered all my questions as we are new to rover. She gave us updates all day long and gave our pup all the love.”
About: I’ve spent over 20 years caring for pets, and I truly believe they’re family—not just animals. I’m a proud owner of four high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable with active breeds, strong personalities, and pups who need both structure and affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—because that’s how I’d want mine treated. I work from home - my role is very autonomous which comes with a lot of flexibility during the day to help care for your pet. I care for your pets in your home according to your preferences, routines, and safety guidelines. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your space. I have four dogs of my own who are family, and I provide that same level of attentive, respectful care to your pets while maintaining a safe and calm environment.
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, my family, friends, neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets, I am really good and will love your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom/homemaker I have one Cat and a frenchie . They are both great with other animals. And I just love animals I live on 40 acres, plenty of room to walk your fur babies. My frenchie loves playing with other animals. Very safe investment. Lots of love
About: We are a military family, we’ve moved around quite a bit and have opened our home to so many dogs in so many different states. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs). We have a private yard (unfenced, leads and leashes used and always supervised). We recently welcomed a dog permanently into our home so we do have one female dog in the house, she is crated when needed and very friendly otherwise. 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!
“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”
“Matthew met me outside.my dog does not get around people to much and automatically to a liking to him that is a plus!!!? kept me informed of what was happening...and very nice and professional. Will absolutely use them again!!”
“My husband and I had to take a long day trip to house hunt and needed someone to watch our 11 week old puppy while we were gone. Daisy will be our go-to forever now! She treated Rookie like her own, giving him love, treats, respecting how we were training him, and kept us updated throughout the day. I was worried about leaving my puppy and having him regress, but he thrived there and didn’t have one accident! I know this is due to Daisy being attentive and so kind. It was also a dreary, rainy, muddy day and she just embraced it and let the dogs have fun too. My pup and her pup had a blast. Can’t wait to Rookie to spend time with Daisy again!”
“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”

“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”
“Gloria was a lifesaver! We needed a last minute dogsitter and she and her family took excellent care of our pup. She was very thorough in the care even for watching him for a short time. I highly recommend her!”
“Easy to communicate with! Qais responded immediately at the last minute for us as we needed a dog sitter for a couple hours while we were passing through. Archer had a great time!”

“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!”
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
“Jacquelyn was absolutely great with my 90lb German Shepherd. She kept me updated the entire time and made sure he was back safely in our home. Highly recommend for daily dog walks.”

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I am patient, observant, and comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. I can support basic reinforcement of training, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and provide structured walks and playtime to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. I work from home and have alot of flexibility with my schedule. So your babies will get to hang out with me during the day, while I work. Gaurenteed to get good rubs and hugs as I employee them as my little stress relievers during my work day lol. Dogs staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and follow a routine similar to what they are used to at home. Inside the house, dogs are free to move around and choose where they feel most comfortable resting or playing. I do not keep dogs confined unless an owner specifically requests crate use. My goal is to make their stay feel as natural and stress-free as possible. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely spend time outside. They are able to go in and out, play, explore, and burn off energy while remaining in a secure space. I supervise outdoor time and make sure every dog is comfortable with the environment. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks if requested, feeding according to the owner’s schedule, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

If you need other availability, please let me know. I can easily crate your pet(s) in your home if needed. We would just talk with each other to make sure that we are in agreement with how you would like me to provide the service(s). I understand the importance to keep the routine that their owner has for them.
About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks ! I am a babysitter and figured this could also be a fun task with something i enjoy doing as a broke college student. Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed

“Brenner and her family are awesome. They loved and cared for our Teagan as if she was their pet. We were updated with photos & it was clear our high energy, mischievous dog was happy and well taken cared of. All 5 stars for them. We highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“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.

Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“They were great sitters. We loved that we were able to do a meet and greet so they felt somewhat comfortable with the sitters. They sent us daily pictures We will definitely have them sit for us again. Thanks”
“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. 😊”

“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”

Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
