“You can just tell Nick and Sara truly love dogs. The were so kind, flexible and very easy to work with. We got plenty of updates of our dog and he absolutely loved them. I would recommend them to anyone. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I believe this is the third time Joshua and Audrey have watched Teddy and it's been a perfect experience every time. They send frequent check in photos, take Teddy for hikes, and it's really nice they have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
“I had a great experience with Sandra. She took amazing care of my dog, and I could tell he felt safe and happy with her. When we came to pick him up, he even ran back to say goodbye. That meant so much. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Joselyn and she was amazing. She sent pictures each day, took Mochi on lots of walks, and to the dog park. Even with me not having good cell service on my trip, I knew Mochi was being taken care of very well. I’ll definitely use her again. Thank you ❤️🐕🦺”
“Christopher and Nicole are wonderful to our Simba. We were lucky to find them and we definitely will be rebooking in the future. And we recommend them to anyone! They are awesome.”
“Rachel is the best. We are thankful to have found her. Walter loves going to her house and when he comes home, he isn't exhausted like he is when left at the kennel. Great experience every time.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Shannon was amazing! I got several updates and pictures of Moose throughout the day, and I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was away. I would recommend Shannon to anyone in need of a sitter and will use her in the future as well! Great experience!”
“Gonzalo and his family were incredible! Incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient, and communicative. He’s everything we needed and then some for our pup during a multi-day trip out of town and when we returned it was clear that Winston was loving his time with them. We had so much peace and ease knowing our dog was in good hands and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“My Colby can be a handful, but Tonya and her husband made watching him look easy! They were super attentive to his needs, and prioritized his safety, which meant so much to me.”
“Ronald did a great job taking care of my pup Enzo for 11 nights. He sent pictures and a video as well, so I knew that Enzo was having a great time. I will definitely use Ronald again in the future!”
“They took such good care of Vivian! I don’t think that she was ready to come home. Their home was perfectly suited for K9 visitors. I only pray that they are available the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Second time booking with Lauren. This time our shy dog went right up to her door like it was her second home. Really appreciate how easy communication is with Lauren throughout the whole process.”
“Laura was really flexible with our changing timelines for drop off and pick up. She was always very responsive. She gave updates each day we were away and was so sweet and loving to our puppy. This was our first experience with boarding and were a little nervous. Our puppy has a mild separation anxiety but he did great with Laura. He was very affectionate with her when we came to pick him up. He also didn’t have any issues after we got home. We will definitely rebook with Laura!”
“Diana & Juan did such a wonderful job taking care of our Golden Doodle!! Their communication with us throughout the entire boarding was exceptional. We received daily updates along with many pics & videos. We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top notch care for your pet!”
“Florence was amazing. Reina felt immediately at home. Even with Florence experiencing an emergency, she was able to accommodate us. I really appreciate her for keeping the stay considering. Will for sure use Florence and Co. again for my dog boarding needs! :)”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Our first week long trip away (and an accepted extra day :)! Adger had the best time hanging out with Kody and Kali and of course loved all the loving from Ashley and Robert. The pictures and updates each morning and evening kept us feeling like he was on vacation too. He loves his second family!! Ashley and Robert has made such a difference in our planning (and lives) - giving us a bit of freedom, but most of all knowing that Adger has as much fun as we do while we're away. But mostly, we sooo appreciate that he feels loved, is safe, and is well cared for in every way.”
“Katherine was great with Boomer! She was so responsive and sent lots of pictures. It was obvious he was warmly welcomed into her home and was in great hands. We will definitely use her again 😊”
“Elaine and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and checking in with us daily. They have a great set up where the dogs can roam free in the house or in the fenced in yard and in the covered patio. It's great that they always have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. You can tell they really love animals. My pup will be back the next time we go out of town.”
“Jessica was absolutely top tier. This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone, so as you could imagine, there was some learning curves. She was transparent, informative, and very understanding that this was a new experience for them. Forever grateful for her to give me a piece of mind that they were in such amazing care!”

“Ella was a great sitter to my two cats! She was on time and communicative during the entire visit and sent photos each time she stopped by. One of my cats needs insulin injections twice a day and Ella did great at sticking with the routine and spending quality time with them too. Overall, my cats were in great hands with Ella and she’s definitely going to be my first choice for future pet sitting needs!”
“My pup was well taken care of due to this drop in! This was my first time using this app and of course it somehow had my old address. Once I realized the mishap Joshua was already at my old apartment but had no issue driving to the new location! So grateful! I had put in a request on such short notice & they picked it up with no problem! Great service and response time 😊”
About: I personally have three of my own kitties. I am a certified crazy cat mom, so I understand the stress of leaving your cats behind while away. I have experience administering medications, and have a handicapped kitty of my own.
“Beckye was great with our 2 cats, checking the mail and bringing in packages for us while we were out of town for a week. She took on the job with short notice the week before we needed to be away. Beckye provided great communication every step of the way and provided picture updates everyday. She is trustworthy and will be someone that we recommend for any pet sitter needs in the local York County / South Charlotte area.”
“Kristyn was sooo kind to my cats! I have a very skittish tortie who almost never comes out of her shell around new people and Kristyn sent me photos of Espresso on her back inviting pets. I will always book Kristyn if she is available!”

About: I provide calm, reliable drop-in care for cats, focused on keeping their routine consistent and their environment stress-free while you’re away. I understand that cats are all different—some are social and playful, while others prefer space and quiet. I take the time to read their behavior and adjust each visit so they feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. During visits, I handle all the essentials with care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and home check-ins. I also make time for play, interaction, or simply being a calm presence—whatever your cat prefers. What makes my care different: 🐾 Calm, patient approach (great for shy or cautious cats) 🐾 Respect for your cat’s personality and boundaries 🐾 Clean, consistent litter care and routines 🐾 Thoughtful updates so you know how your cat is doing My goal is simple: your cat stays comfortable in their own space, and you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your fur babies! I am a military veteran and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. Please let me know if your pets are not kid friendly as I do sometimes bring my children for walks or visits. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to roam while they are at doggy daycare. I will follow your instructions if care is provided at your home!
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.
“Sarah was great with our very ornery cat. She gave him his medicine and fed him every day. Usually when we have a cat sitter, he doesn’t eat very much and he’s very skinny when we get back and he seems pretty fit still so she did a great job!”
“Kate did a drop in visit for us. This was the first time we utilized her services. Kate was very thorough, provided details of her visit and cute pictures. Bandit loves Kate! We look forward to using Kate again!”

“Sandra is an amazing sitter! She took very good care of my dog Ruby, being very communicative, loving, and caring throughout the stay. I highly recommend her and will continue to book her for boarding.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 16; and neighbors have relied on me to care of their dogs occasionally. I love dogs! I am a stay home mom of 2 and I am available to play with your pups while my children are in school and on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Also, my neighborhood is pet friendly .
“Our inaugural visit today was a great success! Riley was made to feel quite welcomed and it’s clear that Diana and Juan are happy to host our pup! Great communication, photos and videos! We’ll be back!”
“Gonzalo and his family are incredibly loving! You feel that warmth the second you step into their home. Pets run around happily like they own the place. Muffin was absolutely thrilled both times, playing right up until pickup. We loved getting their timely photo and video updates. We have found a home away from home for Muffin!”
About: Hi there! I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, which is why I treat every pup like my own. I provide full time, round the clock care, playtime in a secure fenced yard, and a calm, loving home where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Prior to this, I spent years managing people and daily operations in my professional career, and I bring that same dependability, structure, and consistency into pet care. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s medication, special diets, or just extra affection. I’m home all day, every day, and I keep owners updated with photos, videos, and honest communication so you always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is simple: you leave worry free, and your dog leaves tail wagging and excited to come back. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. I do this full-time, so I’m home throughout the day to give dogs my full attention. My mornings start with walks in the neighborhood, feeding, and playtime. Throughout the day, I keep dogs active, comfortable, and supervised, with plenty of breaks, affection, and quiet time. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and comfortable space where they get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality, creating a calm, positive environment that helps them settle in and feel loved while their owners are away.
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.

“Brigitte is amazing! I had an emergency and contacted her around 8 pm for drop-off at 7:30 am the following morning - she made herself available! While Bruno was at her place, she was sending photos regularly, and she made herself available for drop-off/pick-up when I needed it. I highly recommend her and will use her service again!”
“Beckye was great! Sent lots of photos and took good care of our little girl. She made it so we could spend the day exploring the museums here in town without any worry. Would definitely book again.”
“Our first pet sitting experience was great thanks to Glisel. She arrived on time, even a little early which is so appreciated. Glisel took great care of our very anxious Murphy. We could not ask for anything else. We already have Glisel booked for an extended housesitting visit later this month & we have great confidence all will be well.”

My dog enjoys meeting other dogs as well. Meet my dog; I have a Lhasa apso, named Bear. He's super loving, and can't hurt a fly. He welcomes other dogs to his house or likes to visit other homes. Bear has free reign of the house and sleeps with us.
About: I love animals, especially dogs! Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for many decades. I'm very cheerful and engaging with pets and enjoy caring for them. If I have the opportunity to care for your precious loved one, they will look forward to spending time with me again. I have a 12 lb spayed female Chihuahua named Porkchop that is always by my side. She is shy at first but very playful once she warms up - Porkchop gets along great with other dogs. I own a house on a 1/3 acre lot with fenced back yard that backs up to a park with walking trails. I also live within 10 minutes of many parks in SW Charlotte including McDowell Nature Preserve, in case your dog likes car rides and nature hiking. I look forward to caring for your dog and being a trusted friend to your loved one while you are away. Dogs with special needs are welcome and will be very well cared for. I’m retired from the corporate world and available full time to care for your pets. I will be there with your dog around the clock sans any errands that need to be run. I will be there with your pet full time to provide meals & potty breaks as scheduled/necessary and keep your pet company. Daily walks are also provided upon request.
About: We’ve had our own dog for almost 2 years and have taken great care of him, learning how to understand his personality, routines, and needs. As pet owners, we know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and we treat every pet like family. We’re also exploring the idea of adding another dog to our family in the future, so pet sitting is a great way for our dog to safely socialize while giving your pup a loving, attentive environment. We’re very mindful of introductions and make sure both dogs feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I currently stay at home, and my husband works fully remote, so there is always someone present to give your pup attention and care throughout the day. Our dog, Hilo, follows a consistent routine with three walks a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—along with regular feeding times. Your dog will be included in a structured, loving environment with plenty of playtime, supervision, and companionship. We provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where your dog will feel at home. We are very attentive and always supervise interactions to ensure comfort for all dogs. Our dog Hilo is well cared for and used to a routine, and we take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe. We can follow your dog’s specific feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule, and can crate if needed. With someone always home, your pup will never be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care, attention, and love.

“Beckye did a wonderful job walking and playing with my pup while I was away for work this week! Chloe came back from her walk well worn-out each day and slept like a champ!”
“Diamond was AWESOME! She was communicative and very reliable! She showed up on time and she made sure we had knowledge of when she entered and left our home. I was apprehensive about giving a stranger access to our home but she quickly put all of my fears at ease, she was delightful. We will definitely be using her in the future as our experience was very positive.”
“Bret is reliable and great at communicating after every encounter. He even asks about my babies to see how they’re doing throughout the week. It is evident he has plenty of experience with pets and provides quality care as if they were his babies too. Highly recommend.”
About: I provide dependable pet care for dogs and cats of all sizes. I have 17+ years of pet sitting experience and bring a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe and comfortable right away. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can offer consistent attention throughout the day—especially helpful for pets who need routine or don’t like being alone for long. I offer extended care/house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, but I do not provide overnight stays. I’m very comfortable with large dogs (I have a 4-year-old 110 lb Great Pyrenees), but I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I adjust my care to what each pet needs—whether that’s energy, structure, or calm companionship. I also have 8 years of experience as a personal assistant, so I’m reliable, organized, and detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions and communicating clearly. What you can expect from me: 🐾 17+ years of pet sitting experience 🐾 Calm, confident care for all sizes 🐾 Work-from-home flexibility = more consistent attention 🐾 Experienced with large dogs 🐾 Reliable communication + thoughtful updates 🐾 8 years of personal assistant experience—organized, reliable, detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful care for your home and routine Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting needs without rushing or squeezing pets in. I’m already used to being home and present throughout the day, so I can easily give pets consistent attention, regular breaks, and companionship. On a weekly basis, I’m able to reliably accommodate recurring care as well as one-time bookings, and I make sure each visit is fully built into my schedule so pets always get my focused time and care. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule ahead of time, and I make sure feedings, walks, playtime, and any medications are done exactly as instructed. I also focus on creating a calm, reassuring presence so pets feel relaxed rather than stressed by the change in routine. My visits are never rushed—I stay present, give them real attention, and make sure they’re getting both care and companionship. I also keep owners updated with clear, thoughtful messages so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Shakoya gives Bailey so much love when I’m not able to be home with him and I really appreciate it! She communicates extremely well, shares great pictures of their walks, and I am sure Bailey loves her company!”
“Tarynne was wonderful! She was so communicative and sensitive to our special circumstances. Her daily “Report Cards’ were informative and much appreciated. Our girl, Piper, will be thrilled to see Tarynne next time!”
“Alyssa was so awesome with our dog Sunny while we were out of town for 11 days. She was punctual, loved on our dog, left the best messages that we looked forward to receiving and was great overall. She even took our dog running regularly when I mentioned how often we run her - which I did not expect. I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa.”
“Micah is the absolute BEST!! She took super good care of our puppy dog. She went over and above what I would consider excellent care by doing everything we asked and more. While we were away our sink started to leak. Micah took care to protect our kitchen until we got home to repair it. Like I said, over and above. Do not hesitate to let Micah take care of your pets, you won’t regret it”
About: Hey, I’m Kate! I’m a college student studying to pursue Radiological Technology, and continuing to incorporate my love for animals! I am completely open to any animals such as dogs, lizards, bunnies, birds, even snakes! I’ve helped reactive dogs, sick dogs, and I’ve even owned a bearded dragon! I am just now finishing my second semester of college and will be available full-time during the first week of May! I’m open to anything from just a walk, to a week’s worth of care. I offer walking, feeding, filling water bowls, playing, brushing, bathing, anything you may need. Even watering your plants if needed! Just ask for special requests in advance.
“Gonzalo was absolutely amazing caring for our animals! He went above and beyond with keeping us updated, and giving extra to our little dog that’s more shy and timid. We would recommend him to anyone looking for animal care and we’ll definitely be using him in the future!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is McKenna. I have been a registered nurse in the Charlotte area for 5 years. I have had dogs all my life, walked dogs through Wag all during college, and now have a golden retriever of my own. Dogs have definitely always been a huge part of my life! Being a dog mom, I understand how scary it can be to trust someone else with your pup. My own experience with Rover and the amount of love Sully received from his sitter put me at ease. I strive to do the same for other pet parents!! I only work 3 days a week, so drop in visits or walks are the perfect way to spend my days off. :) I’m a registered nurse working 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend on my days off caring for your pups. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease when they’re away (been there!), and my goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I’m naturally very dependable, detail-oriented, and used to being trusted with important responsibilities. I bring that same level of care and attention when looking after someone’s pet. I know dogs feel most comfortable when their routine stays the same, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for walks, feeding, and playtime. I keep things calm and positive so the dog feels safe with me. I give dogs time to warm up to me, especially if they’re shy at first, and I use play, treats (if allowed), and walks to help them relax. Since I have a young golden retriever of my own, I understand how important it is to know your dog is being cared for with patience and kindness.
About: I am a college student at WCU! And since I was a little girl I have cared for animals and my heart grows bigger for them each day! I understand it is scary leaving your baby in the hands of someone new but I am more than willing to prove myself that I am the best! I have volunteered at many animal shelters and have walked plenty of dogs (including my teachers) on campus! I am currently working part time, my schedule is very flexible. I can care for pets most mornings and evening, and several mid days a week! Every client is different, I understand you have certain rules for your babies and I am more than willing to listen to them! Need your baby to walk for 40 minutes? Let’s get our walk in! Need the little one in a crate when I leave? More than happy to!
About: I work part-time at a doggie daycare (best job EVER); where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to seniors, and from super social pups to those who need a little more patience and understanding. My hands-on experience has taught me how to read body language, manage multiple dog’s play safely, and provide individualized care for each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs structured walks, calm companionship, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’m here to help. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or in-home boarding, I plan my pet sitting schedule around my work to make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always allow time for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and quality one-on-one time. If your pet has a specific routine or care needs, I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’ll come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, helping maintain your pet’s normal routine in their own space. This is ideal for pets who are more relaxed at home or who need a schedule and do not like change. Some dogs suffer from severe anxiety being in new territory so sometimes it’s best to have your pup stay in their home to make it easier on them. Of course the same goes for senior pups unless they require substantial care I have the means to actually stay in home and cater to their daily routine as I’ve had several jobs doing so. In my home I offer comfortable, personalized care for dogs or cats who enjoy a cozy, quiet space away from home. I have a dedicated space just for pet guests, where I can safely store their belongings (beds, toys, food, etc.) and give them a calm space to settle in. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up with all the essentials for safe and happy boarding, including food/water bowls, toys, and pet-safe cleaning products. If your dog is crate-trained, please provide their crate so they have a familiar, secure space to relax in. I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during their stay. If they are not crate trained and are a bed cuddler; please just let me know. I don’t mind as mine sleeps with me as well; so don’t ever feel judged based on you letting your dogs sleep with you.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dog breeds since I was 16, I have experience with training puppies as well as working with older dogs and disabled ones as well. And I would love to care for yours! I currently work early mornings from 4:30am to around 11am, Monday through Friday but besides that I have open availability the rest of those days. I have an open place for your animals to walk with me as well as a friendly furry friend named Phoebe to keep yours company. If them staying with me is not what you want when it is just me one on one with your babies I pay extensive attention to their needs to make sure they are happy and healthy when you are not there.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I used to have a sweet girl named Susie who filled my heart with love and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and compassion. After she passed away three years ago, I’ve continued caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family whenever they go out of town. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I’m experienced in adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I do have a puppy named cocoa as of December 2025. She is the light of our lives!! We love her so much. I work from home three days a week and go into the office twice, so I have a very flexible schedule! On my work-from-home days, I’m available all day to give your pup plenty of love, walks, and attention. Even on my office days, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and overnight visits as needed. Your pet will always be in a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. I’m attentive, caring, and but most importantly will love your fur babies like they’re my own. I can also easily crate your dog if needed or follow any specific routines you prefer.
“First time using rover for our pup and Arell made this a super easy process! Great communication, great care for our pup and was even able to accept our last minute booking! Will book again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and other small animals. I currently manage a busy homestead and rabbitry, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding schedules, medication administration, cleaning routines, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I have experience working with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience and attention. I am also actively involved in service dog training, which has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, and animal behavior. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate service As a recent high school graduate with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Animals are a daily part of my life through my dog, rabbitry, cats, chickens, and other pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure each pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Through owning and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and poultry, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and daily care needs. I am also actively involved in training my service dog, which has taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and safety. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.
“Tori has been a life saver for our family and fur baby. She is timely and makes sure our fur baby gets a good walk on all her visits. She always remembers to give Bella a treat when the walk is done and makes sure she locks up our apartment. We are grateful for her.”

“You can just tell Nick and Sara truly love dogs. The were so kind, flexible and very easy to work with. We got plenty of updates of our dog and he absolutely loved them. I would recommend them to anyone. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Rachel is the best. We are thankful to have found her. Walter loves going to her house and when he comes home, he isn't exhausted like he is when left at the kennel. Great experience every time.”
“Gonzalo and his family were incredible! Incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient, and communicative. He’s everything we needed and then some for our pup during a multi-day trip out of town and when we returned it was clear that Winston was loving his time with them. We had so much peace and ease knowing our dog was in good hands and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“My Colby can be a handful, but Tonya and her husband made watching him look easy! They were super attentive to his needs, and prioritized his safety, which meant so much to me.”
“Ronald did a great job taking care of my pup Enzo for 11 nights. He sent pictures and a video as well, so I knew that Enzo was having a great time. I will definitely use Ronald again in the future!”
“Laura was really flexible with our changing timelines for drop off and pick up. She was always very responsive. She gave updates each day we were away and was so sweet and loving to our puppy. This was our first experience with boarding and were a little nervous. Our puppy has a mild separation anxiety but he did great with Laura. He was very affectionate with her when we came to pick him up. He also didn’t have any issues after we got home. We will definitely rebook with Laura!”
“Florence was amazing. Reina felt immediately at home. Even with Florence experiencing an emergency, she was able to accommodate us. I really appreciate her for keeping the stay considering. Will for sure use Florence and Co. again for my dog boarding needs! :)”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Our first week long trip away (and an accepted extra day :)! Adger had the best time hanging out with Kody and Kali and of course loved all the loving from Ashley and Robert. The pictures and updates each morning and evening kept us feeling like he was on vacation too. He loves his second family!! Ashley and Robert has made such a difference in our planning (and lives) - giving us a bit of freedom, but most of all knowing that Adger has as much fun as we do while we're away. But mostly, we sooo appreciate that he feels loved, is safe, and is well cared for in every way.”
“Elaine and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and checking in with us daily. They have a great set up where the dogs can roam free in the house or in the fenced in yard and in the covered patio. It's great that they always have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. You can tell they really love animals. My pup will be back the next time we go out of town.”
“Jessica was absolutely top tier. This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone, so as you could imagine, there was some learning curves. She was transparent, informative, and very understanding that this was a new experience for them. Forever grateful for her to give me a piece of mind that they were in such amazing care!”
“Shelby is an excellent boarding hostess. She is patient and kind and she and her 2 dogs made Shadow feel right at home. She sent photos and is an excellent communicator. We will call Shelby again!”
“Yevheniia is amazing. My dog is on the needy side & I was really nervous about leaving him. Yevheniia made me feel so at ease & comfortable. She treated Luka like family, letting him on the couch & giving him lots of love. She sent daily updates & pictures which I really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“We couldn't have found a better pet sitter than Lisa P. Our dog Petey has a lot of anxiety, but Lisa knew exactly how to deal with him. She sent us pictures every day of him and he looked so happy and relaxed. We are so happy we found her and could relax on our vacation and not worry about him.”
“Great experience! It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t prejudge a pit bull. My sweet girl got to roam the house and yard, cuddle on the couch, and had such a great time with Russell. He provided photos and quick responses before and during her stay. Will definitely use again!”
“Lizbeth is the best! She took wonderful care of our dog and treated him like part of her family. We could really tell that our dog felt really at home with them. Thank you for taking care of Ollie and I’m sure he’s looking forward to staying with you all again soon!”
“Brooke and Mark are wonderful! Excellent communication and lots of photos and videos. Our dog has been overly anxious in other boarding settings and was very comfortable here. We appreciated the walks and all the play time outside. We will definitely book again!”
“Phoebe had a great time at Tina's. Tina & Adrian took really good care of her and sent us timely pictures and videos of her. I'm really glad that we found a very good host closer to home. Thank you!”
