Highly-rated overnight sitters - Killian
“I am extremely satisfied and grateful for the care my baby received. She was well taken care and given love and attention. Evelyn kept constant communications about daily activities and sent me pictures often. I appreciate her care for my baby and for the flexibility with changes. A top notch sitter.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
“Mr. Keith was very professional. We fill that he cared for our Bella and her health issues as if she was his own. He sent regular update and videos. She was so comfortable she was hesitant about leaving. I will be calling on him again.”
“Daisy took care of our boy Moose for the weekend and provided plenty of updates while we were away. Moose had a great time and Daisy will be on our short list any time we need a sitter!”
“I truly love how Janece and Matthew took care of my girls. They really seemed to enjoy them! And Sugar and Bella loved them also! I will use them as often as I can! Not many like these two! Love them!”
“We were very pleased with Monica P's service when she kept our pup. Very loving and patient. One huge benefit for me was her meet and great. She will definitely be my goto pup sitter and she should be yours too ♥”
“Orlena is great! She did a wonderful job of caring for my sweet pup. She is very kind, open in communication and caring. It was great not having to worry about how Tate was doing over the holiday since I was receiving lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Orlena!!!”
“Took great care of my 2 doggies and kitty while we were away for a long weekend trip. All my animals were happy upon arrival. I can always tell if they have had a good time or have had anxiety and they were all in good graces. Great experience and will be using Tabitha again! Thank you!”
“My girls are not very comfortable around strangers, but they LOVE staying with Randi. I love the peace of mind in knowing that they are safe and happy. Definitely will continue to book with Randi!”
“Luiza, what is absolutely amazing! I felt very comfortable with my Molly being in her care. She was very accommodating and professional. I will definitely use your services again. Thank you for being so loving with Molly.”
“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!”
“We love the services we receive from Jen. She will love your pet as much as she loves hers. She takes him for walks and gives him so much attention. My dog is very active, I couldn't believe my eyes when I received a video of him getting a massage and he was just as relaxed as can be. If you want a worry-free, loving experience for your pet, we recommend Jen. Your pet will thank you:)”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“Our Louis is a 5-month old yorkiepoo, weighs 6 pounds, and has never stayed with anyone other than family. We were apprehensive about leaving him with non-family for 5 days while we cruised but did not have a choice. We searched Rover, chatted with a few people, found Nontombe and the end result is that we (and apparently Louis) completely adore Nontombe. Nontombe sent us videos and pictures and it was clear to see Louis was right at home with someone who loved on him and played with him. We were also worried about how Louis would get along with the other dogs being cared for but Nontombe outlined her plan to us to introduce Louis and what would happen if the dogs did not get along and the videos and pictures of Louis and the other dogs made us feel even more comfortable. It was also clear to us that Nontombe loves animals and is great with them. We recommend her for the care of your young and older fur babies and personally, we won’t use anyone else.”
“This was our second time having Merrell board our dog. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of him, and she was flexible with us when our flight home got delayed.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
“Adia was very loving and accommodating for our nervous pup. We also really appreciated her willingness to work with us when plans changed during the trip. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”

“Lexi is a great sitter! She is so organized and on top of everything, it made us feel much safer leaving her to watch our cats. She was so sweet to our shy girls. Definitely recommend her!”
“We have two elderly cats that Christina took care of for over a week. I was so nervous to leave, but her attention to detail, kind spirit, responsible nature, and overall connection with cats was evident in our introductory visit. She went above and beyond while we were gone, and we will be using Christina again in the future.”
“Kayla was fabulous! My cat Goose absolutely loved Kayla, which says a lot because Goose can be sassy. Kayla was so easy to work with, made sure Goose always had food, water and her litter box taken care of. She also sent the best pictures of Goose!”

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, dogs and cats alike. I grew up taking care of the pets of neighbors and friends all the time, getting to know all sorts of furry guys and gals ❤️ I have lots of free time after school, so I can give your pets all of the love and attention they deserve in the afternoons. Open communication with you about your pets will allow us to always be on the same page. Growing up with pets, my parents always taught me how to be responsible with our dogs and cats, and how to properly take care of them.
About: With cats, I understand they’re more independent but still need routine care, feeding, and clean spaces. I handle litter boxes, check-ins, and basic care while respecting their boundaries. I’ve had my own cats growing up and realize they come in many different shapes and sizes with a wide variety of personalities.
About: Cats are my specialty and biggest passion. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats through rescue volunteering and fostering, including neonatal kittens and adult cats with medical needs. I’m very comfortable reading feline behavior and adjusting to each cat’s personality, whether they’re shy, independent, or social and playful. I always aim to keep their routine consistent and make them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. 🐾

Perfect for high energy dogs - Killian
“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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 .”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs! When I was younger my family had two dogs: a chihuahua named droopy and a German shepherd named Chico. Having them taught me how to care for dogs of different sizes and needs. When it comes to taking care of puppies and senior dogs, I am always patient and attentive. I am more than happy to take care of your pet! I’m available on weekends and weekdays during the summertime for boarding and day-sitting. I can adhere to any feeding, bathroom, and care schedules or instructions provided. I have fenced yard, so I can take pets for outside time. I am only able to petsit from my house and cannot pickup or drop-off your pets.
About: Over ten years experience as a dog owner. Gentle and knowledgeable pet care. I have experience with dogs with special needs. I own a sweet Mini Schnauzer and would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am able to offer additional walks if needed. Just let me know if your dog has any special needs. I am able to accommodate any special needs. I can administer meds or special feeding requirements. Safe and effective methods for care and maintenance. Please. be detailed about any specifics.
“I highly recommend Randi. She is very attentive, patient and willing. She has helped me keep the potty training going and he has been amazing. Her dogs are the sweetest so my Xano loves hanging out.”
“Andrea was amazing with our new rescue. She was responsive and worked with our crazy schedule. Rev came home tired and happy. We will definitely look Andrea up again when we’re in town.”
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“Daisy is SO KIND, she’s very attentive to your pet and treats them like family. And she’s very willing to work with your schedule. Next time I’m in Columbia I will be using her again, thank you daisy for your kindness, you’re wonderful!”
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours. I follow each dog's individual routine based on the information you provide prior to their stay, including feeding schedules, medications, & any special care instructions. For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit. My dropoff/pickup windows are currently Monday through Friday, 7AM to 10AM & 4PM to 7PM, and Saturday through Sunday 8AM to 10AM. Currently I'm unavailable for dropoff/pickup on major US Holidays. *Hours subject to change based upon availability. I have open space for indoor play & a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Though dogs are free to roam & play while staying with me, during other dropoffs & pickups, dogs are always secured in kennels for their safety.

“Kayla is an amazing sitter! Super sweet and sent multiple updates on Peace's stay! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun stay for your fur babies. Thank you!”
About: I have loved and cared for pets since I was a small child. My love for fur babies started with my first pet, a boxer mix named Apollo. My parents recognized my affinity for caring for animals and quickly grew our family by adding a Guinea pig, several frogs, and a cat. In 6th grade I joined the school animal club where I learned about and cared for fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and even a snake. Throughout my childhood and into my teens it was not uncommon for me to bring home lost or injured animals I’d find in my neighborhood. My mom thought I’d grow out of this “habit,” as she called it, but she was wrong. Now that I’m an adult I have a spoiled pup who eats better than some animals, and on the few occasions when I’ve encountered stray cats and dogs I didn’t hesitate bringing them home for fresh food, water, and TLC before trying to locate the owners. My family lovingly refers to me as the “dog whisperer” because of how good I am with them. While I somewhat disagree with that title, I definitely feel that my passion for animals helps me understand and care for them with love. I am available for boarding 7 days a week as long as I have at least 3 days notice. I am also available in the evenings and on weekends to walk and play with your fur child. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly chorkie (chihuahua and yorkie mix) to play with. I also am able to crate your dog if you provide the crate. I do have one small crate that can be rented for an additional cost.
“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.”

“Fabio had such an amazing time with Raul and his family. I liobe the updates and pic he sends to me . It’s the small things really … he even washed his food dishes in the dish washer😂😊🥰….he will be back !”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I recently lost my fur baby (son) of 14 years. I don’t have kids and I want to give my love to your fur baby!

“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
About: With hands on experience caring for my own dog and volunteering at farms, l bring a deep understanding of pet needs, in training and providing tailored care for all ages, ensuring each furry friend receives the attention and love they deserve. As a college student athlete and aspiring vet, I can provide excellent care for pets. I can ensure they receive plenty of exercise through regular walks and playtime, which is essential for their health and happiness. I have flexible days off and availability during the mornings and evenings, making me well-suited for weekend pet sitting and ensuring I can dedicate quality time to your furry friends. I can also go to Fort Jackson. In my home, I create a safe and engaging environment for pets by ensuring all areas are secure and free of hazards, providing designated play and rest spaces, and closely supervising during activities. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I respect their routines and environment, maintaining a consistent schedule, and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed to keep their pets comfortable and secure.
“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have 7 pets of my own, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and even reptiles and ferrets. I’ve worked at a pet store and volunteered at dog, cat, and rabbit shelters, giving me experience with pets of all temperaments, ages, and care needs. Whether it’s playtime, basic training, senior care, or administering meds, I’ve done it and I treat every pet like family. I’m a college student home for the summer, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Depending on the week, I’m available most times. I make it a priority to be fully present and attentive during my visits—whether that means playtime, check-ins, walks, or just giving your pet some extra love and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priority while you're away. In a client’s home, I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and not alone, whether I’m staying overnight or just dropping in. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of attention and affection. During walks, I focus on safety, stimulation, and making it fun for your pet! My goal is always to make your absence feel as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
“Bella-Rose is my 18 week old, lovable Cavapoo fur baby. Christina is her first other human exposure besides me and Bella's dad, being that she just got all her vaccines. I unexpectedly had to cover my 24 hour business this month and knew I would need help with Bella. I signed on with Rover and Christina responded within 5 minutes. I was nervous at first but upon meeting Christina, I knew that Bella was in good hands. Chrisrina is on time, professional, and very loving and patient with Bella-Rose. I had no idea that these type services existed, being a new puppy mom, but I am glad I found Rover and Christina. I will definitely be using her in the future and I highly recommend her. She is great!”
“Sean was great with our dear Azure. He was very knowledgeable and had all avenues covered for safety and protection while walking her. Great first experience for her! Thanks Sean”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone. I want to care for your pet just exactly the way you would if you were available. I strictly follow all care instructions and make them as comfy as possible until you return.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals. We currently have 3 large dogs, rats, guinea pigs, a hamster, a crested gecko, and parrots, so I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my biggest dreams is to eventually open a senior dog sanctuary because senior dogs hold such a special place in my heart! I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies. I understand all pets have different needs and wants. Any communication about needs or wants for your baby will be taken care of.
About: I have had pets my entire life! My family currently has 3 dogs and 4 cats, but we’ve also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets! We foster kittens and puppies often, so I am familiar with the caretaking of very young animals too. I am around all summer and have lots of availability to help you with your pets! Whether it is while you’re away on vacation or having a busy day, I would love to provide some help to you and love to your pets! I am very responsible and trustworthy and will follow directions as given. My biggest goal is to keep you and your pet happy and will do whatever I need to provide that!
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, meds, and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. As a student at the University of South Carolina, I have a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings in the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure.

About: I am a college student majoring in Public Health. I have been in love with animals since I was 5 years old. All puppies/dogs are unique and hold a special place in my heart. I love interacting and getting in on all the little doggy jokes that are shared. My sole purpose is ensuring that your pet baby feels comfortable, welcomed and loved when in my presence. Whether a yorkie mix or Great Dane, the treatment and love remains the same. As opposed to other sitters, I have full availability. It is easy for me to connect with any breed and share a connection. I am responsible and will give updates as often as possible. I look forward to meeting your furry, lovable friend! Best, Jacara L.
About: Animal care is very important, I’ve provided pet sitting services for a while now almost 3 years to be exact. Animals should be taken as serious as children, and I will prove it!! Currently I work full time in the morning usually 6am to 12-2 in the afternoon so my services would usually entailed over night or afternoon care. In my own home I provide a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to go potty or just to play outside. Plenty of fresh water, and food.
“Bless her heart, she took my big old treeing walker coon hound for a walk and he didn't want to come home after 30 mins so she walked him for another 50 minutes! He was too big for her to force home, but he eventually got tired and came home without fuss. I'm so grateful to her for being so flexible and patient with him!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for pets, especially cats! I’ve volunteered at a nonprofit cat rescue where I helped feed, clean, and medicate cats in need, and I’ve also fostered both adult cats and tiny neonatal kittens (yes bottle feeding and all the adorable chaos that comes with it!). On top of that, I have pet sitting experience for both cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable stepping into all kinds of home routines and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I’ve cared for my own two cats for years, so I really understand all the little quirks, routines, and personalities that make each pet unique. Cats definitely have my heart, but I also have experience with dogs and am comfortable with smaller, calmer breeds; and happy to work with larger dogs as long as they’re well-trained. I bring lots of patience, love, and good energy to every animal I meet, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾 I am available seven days a week and strive to be as flexible as possible. During the week, I can typically accommodate 2–3 drop-in visits per day, and on weekends I can provide up to 5 drop-in visits as needed. For extended care, I may be available for overnight stays in your home depending on location and scheduling. Rates for overnight services vary. The best way to find out if I can accommodate your needs is to reach out! I'll always do my best to work with you and provide the highest level of care for your fur babies. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. For house sitting, I ensure pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I always treat my clients' homes and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Delaney was kind and patient when walking our puppy. He was afraid at first because we had loud work trucks in our neighborhood on this particular day, but Delaney preserved and had a successful walk. Thank you!”

“I truly love how Janece and Matthew took care of my girls. They really seemed to enjoy them! And Sugar and Bella loved them also! I will use them as often as I can! Not many like these two! Love them!”
“My girls are not very comfortable around strangers, but they LOVE staying with Randi. I love the peace of mind in knowing that they are safe and happy. Definitely will continue to book with Randi!”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“Our Louis is a 5-month old yorkiepoo, weighs 6 pounds, and has never stayed with anyone other than family. We were apprehensive about leaving him with non-family for 5 days while we cruised but did not have a choice. We searched Rover, chatted with a few people, found Nontombe and the end result is that we (and apparently Louis) completely adore Nontombe. Nontombe sent us videos and pictures and it was clear to see Louis was right at home with someone who loved on him and played with him. We were also worried about how Louis would get along with the other dogs being cared for but Nontombe outlined her plan to us to introduce Louis and what would happen if the dogs did not get along and the videos and pictures of Louis and the other dogs made us feel even more comfortable. It was also clear to us that Nontombe loves animals and is great with them. We recommend her for the care of your young and older fur babies and personally, we won’t use anyone else.”
“This was our second time having Merrell board our dog. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of him, and she was flexible with us when our flight home got delayed.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.
“Peppa loved being with her new friends. They took really good care of my Peppa! I was very afraid to leave her with people I didn’t know! But meeting and talking to Leigh made me feel I did the right thing. I would recommend her to all my friends and family who needed pet care while on vacation.”
“Paola was amazing! She treated both my girls like furry princesses. She made me feel welcomed and relaxed the moment we met! During the puppy vacation Paola sent me daily pictures and videos. My pups had a great time! 10/10 would recommend”
“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
“Sebastian is the absolute best! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He was responsive from booking til pick-up. He consistently updated me and sent many pictures of my baby, Caesar. Caesar has daily topical medicine that must be administered and Sebastian had no problem applying it for me. I truly believe Caesar felt like he was at home while in Sebastian’s care. I will absolutely be using his services again.”

“Sally's kept Maci before and we've been more than pleased with how she loves on our sweet girl and keeps us updated with messages and photos every day. But this last time was a little more challenging (for us anyway) as this was the first time we'd left Maci overnight since her recently diagnosed medical issue. Sally was so understanding and took our concerns to heart. As always, it is such a relief to know how well-loved and cared for Maci is with Sally. ❤️”
