Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kershaw
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kershaw
“I am very thankful that I found Brenda! She met with me ahead of time so we could do a meet and greet because my German Shepherd Felix had a history of being afraid of other dogs but I could tell they immediately felt at home there. Brenda and her daughter Hannah took such good care my two boys Felix and Carter that Felix had a blast with her dog and even sharing space with the cats. They had so much fun that when they came home, they were exhausted and went to sleep 😆 Brenda gave me updates during the day in text messages with pictures or videos so I knew they were having a great time! I look forward to bringing the boys just for a play day and highly recommend Brenda!”
“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Annie gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town for the weekend. She seemed right at home, and the community she lives in is very safe and dog-friendly. at the end of my stay, I received a wonderful "letter from Chloe" of all the things she did while I was gone. I will absolutely rebook again!”
“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!”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“The absolute best family! They made sure Rockie was well taken care of & treated her as their own. I can tell Rockie enjoyed her stay & fell in love with her new friends! I was so nervous with this being my first time booking & she is my baby lol, but Ximena & Travis kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay.”
“This was our 1st time using Rover for our 2 cats. The cats got their own private room and Leigh kept me posted on how they were doing. I’d definitely board them with Leigh again.”
“Our sweet doggies had a great time staying with Christy and her family! We have a German Shepherd mix and a Great Pyrenees that were given tons of love and attention during their whole stay. We really loved the frequent updates and hearing about how much her kids enjoyed spending time with our puppers. We’re looking forward to booking again! :)”
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“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. 😊”
“Absolutely fantastic experience for both myself and most importantly, my Hatch dog. Very communicative, kind, flexible, and sent wonderful videos and photos of Hatch playing everyday! Highly recommended Alexis for your dog sitting needs- you can tell she is a true dog lover and treats yours as her own. Thank you, Alexis!”
About: I have ample experience caring for animals of all kinds. My family and friends rely on me to care for their pets when they are away, as well as provide them with advice on how to care for said pets on their own. Personally, I have two dogs, four cats, and other types of animals at home. I am currently going into college and hoping to fit pet care into my weekly routine while being a full-time student. Caring for my own animals is a part of my daily routine, so adding a few more will be no problem. I am willing to help in any way I can. I have approximately 2 acres of fenced in yard that any pup would love to play in. Said yard comes with 2 friendly and loving dogs that would love to have a playmate. Water, shelter, and luscious grass to lay in is provided.
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ida did a good job watching Rosie. She sent me photos of her most day and gave me an update every day. When we picked up Rosie, she was happy and even went back to Ida to say goodbye to her. Thank you Ida.”
“Tiffany took such wonderful care of my 2 dogs while I was away for a week. She sent daily pictures of them having fun and running around in her nice fenced in backyard and went above and beyond to keep me updated on how they were doing. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times so I could bring my pups home as soon as I got back. I would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone wanting to give their dogs a special vacation treat while you’re away :]”

“Brenda took good care of big boy while we were out of town for a wedding. He had fun with playtime and felt very comfortable with her. I didn’t have to worry about our dog, Brenda didn’t miss a visit and was always on time.”
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: I also have experience caring for cats and understand that they each have their own personalities and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them space when they need it. I’ve cared for cats in friends’ homes and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”
About: I've volunteered at a shelter with cats as well as rescued lost/feral. I offer drop in visits or boarding at my house. I will clean the litter box, refill food and water dish and play comfort your cats while you are away. I will regularly send you pictures and updates so that you don't have to worry about their well being.
“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“I feel like we picked a wonderful and trustworthy person to house sit for us. She was on time, communicated with us during her stay and is just a really nice peron. We are repeat customers!”
About: I've personally taken care of cats as long as I can remember, between my family members as well as my own cats! I currently have four rescue cats who have plenty of toys and treats in their own personal sunroom. Your cat will have the opportunity to play with other kitties, sunbathe, play with toys, and get treats.
“We have just started using Jacquelyn as our sitter for daily visits and she is great!! The animals and us love her! I have two cats and two dogs and she is so great with all of them and I feel so good knowing my pets are being cared for during the day!”
“Jennifer is the ultimate dog whisper. She is great with all of our pets, she is dependable, timely, and is a good communicator. I can rest assured that my babies are in good hands.”
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.
“Thank you o much, Melanie is the best ever. She not only took care of my baby but she stay with him a little longer then she had to, to make sure he was ok when she realized he was a little upset and anxious. I will be call Melanie again the next time I’m out of town.”
About: Hello! My name is Francie. I have always had a profound love for animals. I have also always loved lending a helping hand. I have provided pet care to small, medium, and large dogs, as well as multiple cat breeds. I am reliable, compassionate, and timely. I offer boarding, walking, and even just helping you by checking in on your furry friend. If you need any of these services, I’m your girl! Please contact me if interested :)
“Brittany was the perfect sitter for Tanner! She was very patient and loving with him, and communicated with us well! Each visit was followed up by a thorough and honest summary so we didn't have to worry about how Tanner was doing at all while we were gone. She's reliable and went above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Brittany!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kershaw
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”
About: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“After going through a few people and having terrible experiences and can as say alexis brought my trust back in rover. She updated me about my puppy at every step to the point I felt like i was there with her. I absolutely loved that. My puppy seemed to really be enjoying her time with Alexis and her dogs. I will definitely be using her service again.”

I have crates if needed as well. Dogs will be leashed in my yard at all times but I have parks near by to make sure they get exercise.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Kershaw
About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.
About: I grew up taking care of my childhood pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian and an orange tabby cat! I loved taking my dog out for walks and playing with him in our yard. I also had a guinea pig growing up and I now have three amazing cats but love all creatures big and small! Exercise is important for your animal so let me be the one who keeps your pet healthy! I’m a stay at home mom so I have open availability to walk or check on your animals almost any day and time unless there is a prior commitment I have! I have two cats so I don’t offer in home services but I have a reliable vehicle that I can get to your home to walk and/or play with your pets in your yard!
About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.
About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.

“Brenda was amazing with our pups! She jogged with our younger one, which can be a challenge but she was clearly up to it! Our older girl, she tried to walk her but she's not usually up for leaving the driveway when her routine is disrupted ?. Brenda is a great communicator, very punctual and clearly loves her job. Will 100% use Brenda next time we need a hand.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.
“I am so happy to have found Melanie. She is a true dog lover and took amazing care of my dogs. She is a wonderful, warm-hearted , extra special person that gave my pets so much love and special attention! She always kept me informed of their activities! I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!
“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”

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: Hello, We're Kayla & Jenna. We met 3 years ago at a previous job training service dogs and breeding Labrador retrievers. We quickly formed an instant friendship and have remained close ever since. With our friendship surrounded by our deep passion and love for dogs, we decided to open up our business together training and caring for dogs. We have both been working with dogs for 10+ years each, along with working with puppies at 3 days old to dogs with reactivity. Jenna and I each specialize in reactivity, puppies, and basic obedience. With our hands on experience and background in several different training seminars, we have the ability to custom tailor our training programs to clients needs and wants. Jenna is also an AKC evaluator! We firmly believe every dog is unique and should be treated as such! • Drop off/pick up times: our drop off & pick up times are between 8am and 8pm. Please plan to be on time as we try to run on a schedule around dropoff/pickup times to make things easier for everybody. •Meet & greet: we are happy to have you & your pups come by for a meet & greet! For safety reasons, we don't allow new dogs to meet boarding dogs. We can go over any questions you may have about your dogs staying here & see where they'll be staying at night in the dog room. If you have any questions before your pups stay or would like to do a meet & greet, feel free to reach out & we would love to accommodate. We are both familiar with different dog breeds & can accommodate for behavioral issues! We are lucky enough for this to be our full-time job, so we are available all day to care for your pets! We enjoy meeting new dogs every week & getting to talk with clients about their training needs if necessary. DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED We have a dog room where all the dogs sleep at night in their own separate crates, we have all pups sleep in a crate at night so everybody gets a good night's sleep & as a safety precaution. We have a huge fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play in during the day. We look forward to playing fetch with new friends or just relaxing outside on our screened-in back porch. We also bring out the kiddie pool in the summertime for the dogs to enjoy!

“I am very thankful that I found Brenda! She met with me ahead of time so we could do a meet and greet because my German Shepherd Felix had a history of being afraid of other dogs but I could tell they immediately felt at home there. Brenda and her daughter Hannah took such good care my two boys Felix and Carter that Felix had a blast with her dog and even sharing space with the cats. They had so much fun that when they came home, they were exhausted and went to sleep 😆 Brenda gave me updates during the day in text messages with pictures or videos so I knew they were having a great time! I look forward to bringing the boys just for a play day and highly recommend Brenda!”
“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
“The absolute best family! They made sure Rockie was well taken care of & treated her as their own. I can tell Rockie enjoyed her stay & fell in love with her new friends! I was so nervous with this being my first time booking & she is my baby lol, but Ximena & Travis kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay.”
“This was our 1st time using Rover for our 2 cats. The cats got their own private room and Leigh kept me posted on how they were doing. I’d definitely board them with Leigh again.”
“Our sweet doggies had a great time staying with Christy and her family! We have a German Shepherd mix and a Great Pyrenees that were given tons of love and attention during their whole stay. We really loved the frequent updates and hearing about how much her kids enjoyed spending time with our puppers. We’re looking forward to booking again! :)”
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“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. 😊”
“Absolutely fantastic experience for both myself and most importantly, my Hatch dog. Very communicative, kind, flexible, and sent wonderful videos and photos of Hatch playing everyday! Highly recommended Alexis for your dog sitting needs- you can tell she is a true dog lover and treats yours as her own. Thank you, Alexis!”
About: I have ample experience caring for animals of all kinds. My family and friends rely on me to care for their pets when they are away, as well as provide them with advice on how to care for said pets on their own. Personally, I have two dogs, four cats, and other types of animals at home. I am currently going into college and hoping to fit pet care into my weekly routine while being a full-time student. Caring for my own animals is a part of my daily routine, so adding a few more will be no problem. I am willing to help in any way I can. I have approximately 2 acres of fenced in yard that any pup would love to play in. Said yard comes with 2 friendly and loving dogs that would love to have a playmate. Water, shelter, and luscious grass to lay in is provided.
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ida did a good job watching Rosie. She sent me photos of her most day and gave me an update every day. When we picked up Rosie, she was happy and even went back to Ida to say goodbye to her. Thank you Ida.”
About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.
“We were nervous leaving our furry family member for the first time, but Ken and Mariam were so great. They responded to messages super quick and sent us daily updates for the week we were away. Super happy to use them and won’t hesitate to book again.”
“Our dog Gigi had a great time with Karlee and her kids. She was responsive to our texts and provided daily updates, which gave us peace of mind. We appreciated her care and attention! Thank you Karlee for taking good care of our Gigi♥️”
