Highly-rated overnight sitters - Johnson Crossroads
“Ms Melanie was very friendly and helpful with my baby Braxton. Braxton and I both had separation anxiety, he wouldn’t eat and she got him to eat peanut butter and for me she sent pictures. Definitely will book with her again”
“Sarah and Hagan provided a great place for my Weimaraner to stay over a long weekend. They have an air conditioned kennel with large fenced in area perfect for any size dog to be comfortable! Our 11 month old pup has a lot of energy and can get anxious when left alone but seemed to have a great time and was checked on regularly. They are very educated on handling dogs. We received plenty of pictures and videos during our dog’s stay. Would highly recommend Sarah and Hagan!”
“Samantha was great! She really loves dogs and seems to dog sit for that reason. She will treat your pup like her own and give special attention when needed. Samantha sends lots of pictures (when you want them) and updates on how your pup is doing. I will definitely ask Samantha to watch my pup again.”
“Great experience with Kim B! She was so easy to communicate with before and during our fur babies stay! She sent pictures and messages during their stay which was very comforting while we were away! Thank you and we will be in touch!”
“As always, Hank had a blast with Rachel and Logan! Anytime we go out of town we can rest assured knowing our boy is in safe hands with them. If you’re looking for a sitter, they are the absolute best!”
“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!”
“Joyce and Robert were great to work with! We contacted them with short notice and they were able to accommodate our timeline seamlessly. Joyce sent me texts and picture updates of our dog throughout the weekend and he seemed just as happy as he is at home with us. Joyce and Robert really cared about our pup like he was their own and that really helped give us peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away knowing he was getting the attention he needed.”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“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!”
“Tater had a blast at Poria’s house! Poria gave daily updates with multiple photos. Tater came back smelling even better than how I left her, lol. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Jessica had great communication, was flexible on drop off and pick up. From the great daily updates she gave us we knew our boy Leo was getting really comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“omg, Mel is amazing! My mom and I always heard bad things about Rover, but we had a family emergency during Master's week (everywhere was booked!) and we decided to try our luck on Rover and found Mel, we instantly fell in love (as well as our two dogs)! Mel is amazing with communication, keeping your pets happy, and Grey is an amazing playmate! We will be booking again either for trips or whenever we need a break from our dogs. I highly recommend Mel <3”
“Amazing care for my dog and was very thorough with the communication throughout the stay. I appreciate everything she did, and would absolutely recommend her for any future stays!”

Cat caregivers near you - Johnson Crossroads
“Courtney was great. She took great care of the cats and was respectful of the property. I had no worries leaving them in her hands. Definitely would use again and recommend to anyone with cats.”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart! I have experience with disabled cats, aggressive cats, and your normal friendly cats! I have experience with many ages and for the special few that do, I actually have experience with leash trained cats!
“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!”
About: My husband and I are both retired and love opening up our home to pets, to give them the home away from home feeling. We also love going to visit pets and have a part in making them happy while their owner is away. No pet should be left alone for long periods of time and we feel they get much more attention in a private home then in a kennel. We do not have a fenced yard but we love taking them out doors with their lease. We have been watching friends dogs since we have been married (8yrs) and I have watched pets for friends over 20 years. We have recently lost our baby who was 15 yrs old and we want to share our love for animals with others, Codi was a diabetic so we are use to giving shots to pets. We do plan on taking vacations ourselves and know how important it is to be able to leave knowing that your pet is being care for and loved. I have been doing Pet sitting for over 20 years look forward to giving your pets a home away from home. We have a big yard and love going out side with the pets we watch so we can be with them at all times . Want to make sure they feel loved and wanted. Being my husband and I are both retired and home during the day we have extra time to give a lot of extra love to your pet Love is a BIG thing in our home and we want to make sure our home is safe and a happy place for your pets. We are retired now and spend most of our time at home and looking for a pet to give our love to . After losing our own baby a few months ago we look forward to caring for others When the pets are taken out side we prefer to go with them and stay outside with them. This also give them time to run and enjoy the outdoors. Being that we both are retired, we are home pretty much all day except for maybe going to grocery store or maybe a doctor appt here and there. We treat each dog like they are ours and want them to feel at home when they are away from their real home, and love spending time with them

He’s always in fantastic spirits when we come home and she always gives him plenty of love when she’s here. Samantha is a lifesaver!”

I’m experience in medication administration and senior cat care from one of my kitties who passed last December. I will scoop your littler box, play with them and pet/cuddle them if they allow it.

But outside of baby season, I am an orange kitty lover with one of my own as well as a Turkish Angora, and Sphynx. With that being said, I know how to brush a cats coat (or bathe lack thereof!) I have administered ear drops, chews, pills, syringes, anything you can think of for felines!
“Our second time using Maddie and I can't say enough about her. She makes me feel okay about leaving my cats at home. Maddie has great communication skills and takes care of my pets as if they were her own.”
“Haley provided amazing service! My two cats received the care and attention they needed. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and provided great updates while I was out of town which was comforting. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. I would HIGHLY recommend Haley and her pet sitting services to all my friends with furry people.”
“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.”
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
About: I’ve had animals my entire life - we’ve always had cats, dogs and horses! My experience ranges from 4-H and training my Christmas present (a Great Dane puppy) by myself at 11 to Pony Club with my first horse at age 13. I started taking care of other’s pets when I was 13 and worked at a veterinarian’s office in Montana where I grew up. In college my main source of income was petsitting and babysitting, so I have a lot of experience with dog walking, exercising horses, long term stays, etc. I work remotely full-time as a recruiter for a study abroad company. My schedule is very flexible so it’s easy for me to take breaks during the day! I unfortunately am not able to have pets in my home. I take care of any pet like I would my own, with patience, compassion, attention to detail, and a lot of pride.
“Amber did a great job taking care of our cat Gimli. He spent a few nights with her in the room set up for cats. It had everything he needed, I just brought his food and a few toys from home. Amber was quick and informative with all communication and was flexible with pick up and drop off. Gimli was quite stressed due to being in a new place and Amber did everything in her power to keep him comfortable and to keep me updated. Would absolutely recommend her for pet care.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Johnson Crossroads
“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!”
“Ms. Ronda was Awesome! She took good of my dog even trained her. This was the 1st morning I woke up with my dog not barking to go outside. This was my 1st time using her and it will definitely not be my last. I highly recommend Ms. Ronda. Thank you”
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)!
“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! 🐾”
“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!!!”
“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: Hi! I’m Avery—an experienced animal handler, lifelong dog lover, and amateur eventer based in Aiken, SC. I’ve spent my life around animals, from growing up in a pet-loving household to training young horses and competing in three-phase equestrian events. I adore both dogs and cats and understand how to care for animals of all personalities—from energetic to reserved. Working with animals has taught me patience, instinct, and how to calmly manage a wide range of temperaments. My two dogs, Blake and Peanut, are well-trained and social. Blake is the gentle leader—friendly and confident—while Peanut is sweet, a little shy, and loves snuggling once he warms up. Together, they help set a calm, welcoming tone for visiting pets. I’ve also volunteered with rescue groups like the S.A.V.E. Coalition (Houston, TX) and the Medfield Animal Shelter, where I fostered and rehabilitated Luna, an abused special-needs Pit Bull. Whether your dog or cat is high-energy, reactive, senior, or shy, I take the time to understand their needs and tailor care accordingly. Why Choose Me? • Experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and rescue animals • Calm, responsible, and attentive to individual pet needs • Communicative, dependable, and flexible • Pets in my care are treated like family Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits As someone with a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I offer mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits—perfect for keeping your pets happy, exercised, and cared for while you’re at work or away. These are a great option for regular support and can easily fit into my daily routine between meetings. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, or a quick check-in and meal, I’ve got it covered. My Home & Care Style Blake and Peanut have free roam of our home and securely fenced yard, but I always supervise guest pets closely until I understand their comfort level. I provide a structured routine with room for play, relaxation, enrichment, and quiet time. If your pet prefers their own space, I make sure that’s respected. Before You Book I’ll ask about your pet’s routines, personality, medical needs, and quirks to ensure their care mirrors what they’re used to. I want them to feel as comfortable as they do at home. Let’s Connect! Whether you need a one-time drop-in, consistent walking help, or full pet sitting, I’d love to be part of your pet’s routine. Reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet—I’m excited to welcome your pet into a calm, loving environment. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m available on weekdays between meetings and for full-time care on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love doing it. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs—Blake and Peanut—who provide great company. I closely supervise introductions and can crate your dog if needed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I tailor each dog’s care to their personality and needs.
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.
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!
About: I have worked with animals all my life from livestock to exotics. I have a degree in wildlife and love animals. I can ensure a safe loving space for your pets while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom of a 6 year old son with more than enough time to spend with your fur babies. I have a large fenced in backyard and plenty of playmates for your fur baby. My dogs are very open to new animals and enjoy playing with new friends. I also have two cats, two ferrets, and a parakeet.
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: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.
“We came in from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog while we were attending an event. Our dog was happy and Hillary even clipped his nails for us. Thank you!”
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.

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.

If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: I’ve grown up around Animals my whole life and currently have a mini farm. I’m experienced with almost every type of animals including bunnies, reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and live stock and have been house sitting since I was 13. I am a huge advocate for animal assisted therapy and am currently attending college to get my degree in order to bring animals into my work as a psychologist. I’ve taken care of plenty of animal emergencies and even revived dying chickens. I’m not scared of getting dirty or anything else that comes with with taking care of your animals.

I am currently in school three days a week and for only a few hours on those days, the rest of my time is free. I prefer to follow a daily check list of general tasks, then I play with them and their favorite toys or just give them company depending on your pets needs.
“Lily was remarkable. She was always on time. Report cards were always filled out, pictures provided. She always worked with me to change things up on how to give the dogs their walks, etc., with very little notice, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I have been caring for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs to rodents and horses since I was 12 years old. Since then I have fully trained my own dog to do basic tasks but also to “find” things (such as an inhaler for my mom) and stand with her back to my calves if we are in crowded areas. I am always learning new ways to better care for pets and new tricks for my own dog! I have just graduated from university so I am currently searching for a full-time job in my field. That means for now I am completely free to help out with pets whether that means walking, drop in visits, or house sitting. If I am coming over to housesit I will likely be at the house for the majority of the day and stay over at night too (or whatever the owner requests.) I am completely flexible and open to negotiation.

As well as being an avid runner, loving active furry friends to walk, run or hike with! I have open availability. I can be available for overnight care, daily visits, walking as well as care in my home for any family or dog. I have a large fenced in back yard. I also live on a cul de sac in a lovely neighborhood. Allowing for safe walks as well. Caring for animals is what we do! My schedule flexibility can be constructed around your pets and family's needs. I have the space and time for dogs of all personalities! Each pet is different and special in their own right and I discuss individual needs and expectations so families and pets are cared for with the utmost consistency. Pets are family so caring for them is our daily life not a routine. Their comfort and well-being is our top priority. My day is usually based around those needs! In the way that is most comfortable for them and their family. Through great communication and understanding their specific needs. Usually, the dogs and cats are very good communicators!
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.

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’m a lifelong animal lover, currently with 3 dogs ranging from 4 lbs to 65 lbs, 4 goofy cats, and enough fish tanks to rival a small aquarium in my home.

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!
About: Hi there! I’m Bella, a 23-year-old college student attending Full Sail University remotely from Aiken, SC. I share my cozy home with my partner Luke, our four dogs. Animals have been a big part of my life ever since I was a little girl, and I truly believe that every pet deserves to feel loved, happy, and safe. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for a walk, or just spending some quality time together, I make it my number one priority to ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust, and I promise to treat your pets like part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them the attention they deserve while you’re away. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your time apart from your beloved companion a little bit easier! I currently work from home as a freelancer, so I’ll have plenty of flexibility to take care of your furry friends with enough notice in advance. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I start by getting to know the pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs, so I can ensure they feel right at home. I respect the owner’s space and follow any specific instructions provided, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication administration. I always make sure the pet feels comfortable and maintain open communication with the owner, providing updates and photos to give peace of mind. My top priority is ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away!
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.
About: I have had some sort of pet since I was 6 - gerbils, dogs, cats, fish, turtles! My husband and I currently have 2 fur babies and they are treated as our children! I have experience with sweet and cuddly dogs as well as small aggressive dogs (my shih tzu Wally). I am very relaxed and easy going and will provide top tier care for your babies. I work Monday through Thursday. I am pretty much available every weekend and plan out of town events ahead of time. I am also pretty good with short notice. My husband and I live in a newly established subdivision with plenty of sidewalks. We have a fenced in backyard and 2 doggies at home.
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide more than just pet sitting, and I create a loving, comfortable environment where dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family returns. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean and safe, follow any special instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
About: I have been around dogs all my life. I worked as a dog walker at the county shelter. I used to show dogs in the AKC. I am currently taking master trainer course to become a certified dog trainer in order to start my own dog training business. Most of my experience with dogs has been in behavior modification and basic obedience. I have plenty of time to care for your animals. It doesn't matter if it is during the week or the weekend I can usually make it work. I make sure the animal is comfortable with me when I enter his or her home. I always bring treats and make sure the clients home is left the same way I found it.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and I’m wanting to supplement my income with some sitting/walking/dropping in jobs before and after school during the week and on the weekends. I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.

“Ms Melanie was very friendly and helpful with my baby Braxton. Braxton and I both had separation anxiety, he wouldn’t eat and she got him to eat peanut butter and for me she sent pictures. Definitely will book with her again”
“Sarah and Hagan provided a great place for my Weimaraner to stay over a long weekend. They have an air conditioned kennel with large fenced in area perfect for any size dog to be comfortable! Our 11 month old pup has a lot of energy and can get anxious when left alone but seemed to have a great time and was checked on regularly. They are very educated on handling dogs. We received plenty of pictures and videos during our dog’s stay. Would highly recommend Sarah and Hagan!”
“Samantha was great! She really loves dogs and seems to dog sit for that reason. She will treat your pup like her own and give special attention when needed. Samantha sends lots of pictures (when you want them) and updates on how your pup is doing. I will definitely ask Samantha to watch my pup again.”
“As always, Hank had a blast with Rachel and Logan! Anytime we go out of town we can rest assured knowing our boy is in safe hands with them. If you’re looking for a sitter, they are the absolute best!”
“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!”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“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”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Jessica had great communication, was flexible on drop off and pick up. From the great daily updates she gave us we knew our boy Leo was getting really comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“omg, Mel is amazing! My mom and I always heard bad things about Rover, but we had a family emergency during Master's week (everywhere was booked!) and we decided to try our luck on Rover and found Mel, we instantly fell in love (as well as our two dogs)! Mel is amazing with communication, keeping your pets happy, and Grey is an amazing playmate! We will be booking again either for trips or whenever we need a break from our dogs. I highly recommend Mel <3”
“Amazing care for my dog and was very thorough with the communication throughout the stay. I appreciate everything she did, and would absolutely recommend her for any future stays!”
“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!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I loved it! She is attentive and understanding. You can tell she loves the animals that she takes care of. With it being my first time away from my dog, especially with Maxi being under the care of a stranger, I was worried and have been missing her even more. Genesis gave me updates and sent me pictures of Maxi, which calmed my nerves. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“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!”
