“Hank had a great time, as always! And we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Hank was in great hands. If you’re ever looking for a home away from home for your fur babies, these are your people!!!”
“Great experience with Sarah and Hagan! We left our 11 week old puppy and they took great care of him (and his 4yo brother). She sent pictures and updates daily. Will board again. Thanks guys!”
“We love Whitney! She’s such an amazing sitter. Asher always has a great time. She always makes sure the pups mesh well together and will try her best to accommodate where she can. 5 stars every single time.”
“Steve took care of our goldendoodle, Sully, for four days, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The biggest comfort for me was knowing Sully wasn’t cooped up in a kennel while we were away — he was in a loving, attentive environment where he was treated like family. Steve clearly takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. My heart was completely at ease the entire time, which says everything. Sully came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. From here on out, Steve will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. Highly recommend!”
“Lulu got to have another amazing boarding experience with Cassie! I got so many pictures of their time together and had so much peace of mind while she was away. Cassie is seriously one of the best here. I hope I can get Cassie as a sitter every time!”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Brooke was amazing with my Milo. He’s a bit shy and scary but he felt right at home with her. I felt way better leaving him for the first time knowing he was with a safe family. I will be using Brooke again. Thank you again 😊”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for multiple friends and family members, caring for their pets while they were away and making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! As a medical student, I spend a lot of my weekends relaxing at home, studying, and enjoying time outdoors—so your pet will have plenty of company! Dogs can expect lots of walks, outdoor playtime, and attention throughout the day. For cats who prefer a cozier weekend, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and cuddles (if they want them!) and would love to have them as my study buddy. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends and having a playmate! If your pet prefers their own space or needs time to decompress, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed. Inside my home, I have a separate guest bedroom where your pet can have a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level to make their stay feel as safe and stress-free as possible.
“My dog had an amazing weekend with Terry! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter outside of my own home, so I was really grateful for Terry’s thorough updates. He can get separation anxiety sometimes, but he was able to have an amazing, playful weekend with her and several other dogs. I was able to enjoy my weekend knowing he was not only taken care of, but having fun. I looked forward to updates and photos every day, and he was happy and stress free when I picked him up!”
“Janai really cares about making sure the dogs are comfortable and enjoy their stay. She sends pictures to keep you updated. She is accommodating. She even went out her way to throw Queenie a birthday party!”
“Extremely knowledgeable in her medical care for pets. She takes creat care to ensure your pet stays healthy, and has an emergency plan in place. She even gave me recommendations on what I can do to keep my babies healthy. Would definitely recommend for pets needing more detailed attention.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my dog, Parker! She was kind, dependable, and treated him with so much care and attention. What really stood out was how understanding she was when I needed to extend the booking due to a family situation—she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I truly felt at ease knowing Parker was in such great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Quality care over anything is what we had the pleasure of experiencing with Laura watching over our boys for a day. The extreme thoughtfulness and interest in knowing all the fine details of our two little boys kept our minds at ease. I loved the fact that upon booking she automatically requested to schedule a call with me to chat some more and to get to know me over the phone. When our boys arrived to her home it was spacious, clean and the energy was calm and positive. She sent photos throughout the day/evening of the boys relaxed and enjoying life! We will definitely use Laura's care again! ”
“Hillary has a heart foe animals of all kinds. I have three stubborn dashounds that she took care of for 8 day while I was out of town and they loved her and would love to go back and stay with her. Thanks so much Hillary. Randy&Julie”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, roommates, neighbors, and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and basic routines. I’ve also cared for a senior dog with anxiety, and I know how important calm energy, patience, and consistency are. I love being active, going on walks, and spending quality time with dogs. I’m new to Rover, but I take responsibility seriously, follow instructions carefully, and always treat pets like my own. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I am a full-time engineer, graduate student, and National Guard service member. I love walking and being active. I am mainly available on weekends and some evenings. Fridays and weekends are my most flexible days, and I plan my bookings around my work schedule so pets always get proper care. I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules and potty breaks. I keep doors secure, remove anything unsafe, and make sure pets are always supervised when needed.
“Jen has a great place for a dog vacay. A big yard and other friends to play with. Like a 5 star spa for my little lonely friend. Jen works from home and so my dog hung out in her office while she worked. I felt good knowing our dog wasn't locked away at a kennel for days while we were enjoying ourselves.”
“Sarah was great with our cat who has anxiety and had never stayed overnight at a sitter's home. She even allowed me to extend our cat's stay for a little longer due to unforeseen circumstances. She was very sweet and we appreciate her looking after our fur baby!”

Cat caregivers near you - Madison
About: Cats are very unique and need someone who truly appreciates them for who they are. I’ve had a number of cats over the years and find them as therapeutic as a puppy. It is truly a great feeling when they finally accept you which then makes the experience of taking care of them so meaningful for both of us.
About: I haven’t owned a cat in quite some time, but my sister had 10+ cats in her home that I cared for, played with and loved on over the years. I’m very familiar with how to care for cats and will love on them and play with them while you’re away :)
“Carter did an AMAZING job watching Tocko on our mini vacation! He truly went above and beyond making sure we had peace of mind that our boy was well taken care of. He always sent pictures and made sure to include little details when writing us that made my wife the happiest! He should have more 5 star reviews and we will be more than happy to book with him again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Crissy, a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience and a genuine love for animals. I understand that cats are wonderfully individual, some want all the cuddles, some prefer a little distance, and some need time before deciding you’re worthy of their attention. 😂 I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your cat is fed, their water is fresh, the litter box is clean, and they receive the attention and companionship they’re comfortable with. Whether that means playtime, lap time, brushing, treats, or simply sitting nearby so they don’t feel alone, I’ll follow their routine and respect their space. My background in public safety and emergency care has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to details. I know how important it is to feel confident that someone trustworthy is caring for your pet and your home. Your kitty will be treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of love until you’re back where they really want you to be. I look forward to meeting you and your little house panther soon! 🐾🐈⬛
“Beau, our GSP, took right to Susie from their first meet and greet! Susie is kind and has a clear love for dogs. She checked in on Beau for us while we were away for a long day - she was punctual and made sure our boy got lots of attention and exercise to hold him over until we got home. If you need someone to care for and love on your fur babies while you’re away, I recommend Susie.”
About: I have had many many cats of my own over the years, and have 4 litters worth of kitten experience! (Including labor, monitoring mother and babies during and after birth, making sure babies latch, gain enough weight). But outside of baby season, I am an orange kitty lover with one of my own as well as a Turkish Angora, and Sphynx. With that being said, I know how to brush a cats coat (or bathe lack thereof!) I have administered ear drops, chews, pills, syringes, anything you can think of for felines!
About: Growing up, I always had cats and often did TNR with my mom on a local colony near our house. I currently have cats and have experience giving medications. I’ve volunteered nearly 100 hours towards Cat Care at the SPCA Albrecht Center in Aiken.
“Heather is always so reliable. I always told myself I wouldn’t stop traveling when I got cats and Heather makes it so easy to be able to leave them at home. I trust her fully & am happy to recommend (:”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Madison
“My little guy enjoyed his time with Kim. We were visiting the area for an afternoon/ early evening visit with family and just needed a couple hours of sitter time … and Kim was very accommodating. She made our visit worry fear. Bryce returned to us and didn’t skip a beat.”
About: I am a certified veterinary technician with a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science and Technology and have grown up training my own animals (although I am not a professional trainer). I spend lots of time with every animal I care for and have been offering house and pet-sitting services to friends and neighbors since I was 9. You can rest easy knowing that I have experienced a wide variety of situations and that I can also handle medical emergencies well with my training in the veterinary field and history as an ER/Urgent Care veterinary technician. I usually have a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pet's needs at whatever time you prefer. I like to meet up with you and your animal before I take over and can work with you easily to make it a convenient day and time. I have grown up with large dogs and horses and have had years of clinical experience with them, so I am very confident in my ability to handle your pup no matter what size they are. If you're here for a cat don't worry! I grew up with what we called our cat herd and was known as the cat whisperer at a few clinics I've worked at. I am a big fan of enrichment and would love to know what your pets' favorite toys are to keep them happy. I also know how important it is to exercise pups to keep them healthy so if they have a walking schedule, or something similar, let me know so I can help keep them moving!
About: I've taken care of dogs (of various breeds) since I was in middle school. I have done short-term and long-term care both out of my house or going over to the owner's house. I am a very calm and reassuring person and have worked with both young and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate who is currently applying to post-graduate programs and jobs, so I have great flexibility in my schedule when I am not helping my grandmother with errands or volunteering at Greendale Elementary (on Tuesday and Thursday mornings). I can do any weekday besides Wednesday afternoons. I can do most times on the weekends unless I have a prior engagement planned. I can do Christmas/Winter Break, but I will be away for Thanksgiving this year. I have a fenced-in yard and have plenty of room for housing your pet as there are no other pets in the house currently. The neighborhood is very safe and has walking paths for walking pets. I am also happy to drop in or stay at your home if that is more comfortable for your pet (or you)!
About: Growing up, I always had 4 pets at any time, and was in charge of all care for them! 2 dogs and 2 cats, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, litter, and lovings. I currently have 1 cat and 1 pup of my own. My most frequent client has 4 large dogs and 1 bunny, all of which get spoiled under my care. I have experience with the most common pet breeds: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and hamsters, Guinea pigs. I am entirely caring, responsible, assertive when needed, and prompt. I work full time Monday-Friday in downtown Augusta 8:30am-5:30pm. I’m currently not able to leave during the day for lunch time potty breaks unless it is very close to there. For home boarding and doggie day care, my boyfriend mainly works from home and loves sharing the love ! The app also doesn’t always quote the correct prices for me, so please message me if you have any questions :) For house sitting, I fully stay at your home and take care of your pet, as if I am at my own home. I always take care pets and the home itself. I will always leave a place cleaner than when I arrived! For boarding, we have baby gates to separate animals for their own time, etc, when necessary. Our enclosed bricked in yard is perfect for any dog that wants to fun around and play fetch with our girl Ivey. He husband loves fur babies just as much as I do.

“Charles was awesome and took very good care of Tucker. We were in town for a tournament and he was very understanding when our last game ran into double overtime causing us to be 1/2hr late for pick up. It seemed that our pup didn’t travel too well and had a sensitive stomach during his stay, Charles took very good care of Tucker despite his stomach upset. Very grateful he was in good hands!”

About: Hi! I’m a loving and responsible pet owner who understands how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. ❤️ I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, and I always make sure to follow their instructions carefully. Whether it’s taking their dog for a walk at a specific time, giving medication, following feeding schedules, or making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I also have experience with cat drop-ins. I’m happy to visit multiple times a day to feed them, refresh their water, give them attention and playtime, and clean up any messes they may have made. I have an Aussiedoodle of my own who I’ve had for almost three years, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to receive updates and know that your pet is happy and being well cared for. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and give them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💕 As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they need. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can discuss arrangements based on your preferences and your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if I have any scheduling or availability concerns so we can make sure everything works well for you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they are in caring and responsible hands. I have a fully fenced backyard, which provides a safe space for dogs to get some fresh air, play, and enjoy outdoor time while being supervised. I’ll always follow your preferences and your pet’s usual routine when it comes to outdoor time. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs or routines your pet may have. I’ll also keep you updated during visits or stays so you know how your pet is doing. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while you’re away.

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: I would love to take your fur babies out for walks and drop in on them to play. I have always had my own and i know how lonely it can be for them to be alone while their parents are at work. I can take them for nice long walk and even run with them if they are a little more energetic. i can always make sure they have enough food and water to get them through the day. I love to play catch and can take them to dog parks and let them get socialized with other dogs. I have my own baby they can even play together.

About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness.

About: I am an experienced pet care provider with years of experience having had pets of all kinds since I was born. I have some experience with obedience training and I love playing with and walking dogs. I work as a pet care provider full time and have a very flexible, generous schedule. I can’t think of any better way to spend my time than caring for animals. I spend a lot of time with pets. They are like my children. I pet them, talk with them, play with them, groom and walk them regularly. They are allowed on the sofa and our bed but our dogs do happily sleep in their crates at night. That’s not a necessity for your dog if your dog isn’t kennel trained. We are flexible.
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals for family and friends. Watched dogs, rabbits, fish, and a guinea pig for my aunt and cousins multiple times. Recently helped my friend while she and her family were out of town by looking after ducks, chickens, a pig, pigeons, horses, and let her dogs out. I also hand fed her cat to make sure he got all of his medicine that was mixed in it. I have a full time job but am lucky to have a flexible schedule and can adjust my hours to be available to take good care of your pet(s). All dogs that I've cared for were let out in a fenced in yard to relieve themselves but I am more that willing to walk any dog that needs more excerise or doesn't have a yard. I can crate your dogs if needed while I'm at work or taking care of my cats and let them back out immediately upon return.

I’m currently working full time M-F second shift at my job so I am available most mornings and I’m available during the weekend if needed I do live in apartment complex, but it does have a cute little play area for dogs for them to play and use the restroom if needed
About: As a dedicated pet owner and experienced caregiver, I understand that pets are family. Choosing someone to care for them requires trust, and I strive to provide every pet and owner with reliability, professionalism, and peace of mind. I have experience caring for animals through both personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playtime, and attending to their daily needs. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have completed training and certifications in several areas of pet care, including: • Dog Psychology • Dog Training Basics • Dog and Cat First Aid Care and Maintenance • Preventing Pet Poisoning from Household Products • Recognizing Early Signs of Cancer in Pets • Understanding Heartworms and Chagas Disease • Understanding Why Cats Stop Using the Litter Box As a pet owner myself, I care for my dog, Titan, and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s safety is always a top priority. I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping spaces clean and free of hazards, securing off-limit areas, and ensuring potentially harmful items remain out of reach. Please let me know about any special instructions, medical needs, routines, fears, or favorite activities your pet may have. The more I know, the better I can provide the personalized care they deserve. I look forward to caring for your furry family members and giving you confidence that they’re in trustworthy, capable, and compassionate hands. Reliable. Certified. Experienced. Caring for your pets like they’re my own. I care for my Titan. We play and I walk him everyday. I am very caring, loving, and gentle with him. I also groom him. He is a also a certified ESA. We work diligently everyday to refine his behavior and I am very patient with the process. I close the doors to rooms they shouldn’t go in. I don’t leave cords lying around or other potentially harmful things to pets. I keep the floors clear of items and clean.

“Samantha took great care of Bruno while we were gone for the week. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! She is friendly, kind & sends lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay.”
“I highly recommend Jennifer she does an amazing job we will definitely be having her watch our fur babies again if we ever need someone, she kept us updated and sent us lots of pictures and always made sure the dogs had what they needed!! Thank you!”
“Payton was awesome! She sent pictures and videos and was very responsive when I wanted to check in with how our fur baby was doing. Her husband was also a great help. We will definitely be going to them again!”
“Nicole is amazing- from booking to pickup she made everything easy and was incredibly accommodating and flexible when my flight got delayed. The dogs came home totally relaxed having had a great weekend with lots of love and attention. We’ll definitely be bringing the girls to Nicole again!”
“Eboni was great with updates and photos the whole time she had our sweet girl! Her home was inviting and she made sure our dog got plenty of outside time as well as lots of love. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a safe and comfy place for your dog!”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Tamara met us before Koda's stay, answered our questions and addressed our concerns. She is very nice and took great care of Koda! She has lots of experience with fostering, owning and rescuing dogs which was great as our pup is a rescue with some anxiety. She sent us (p)updates with pictures which helped us feel at ease. (It seemed like Koda was too by the pictures!)She definitely won Koda's heart because he couldn't help but give her a big kiss before we left! :) We would definitely recommend her and hire her again!”
“Janai really cares about making sure the dogs are comfortable and enjoy their stay. She sends pictures to keep you updated. She is accommodating. She even went out her way to throw Queenie a birthday party!”
“Extremely knowledgeable in her medical care for pets. She takes creat care to ensure your pet stays healthy, and has an emergency plan in place. She even gave me recommendations on what I can do to keep my babies healthy. Would definitely recommend for pets needing more detailed attention.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my dog, Parker! She was kind, dependable, and treated him with so much care and attention. What really stood out was how understanding she was when I needed to extend the booking due to a family situation—she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I truly felt at ease knowing Parker was in such great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Quality care over anything is what we had the pleasure of experiencing with Laura watching over our boys for a day. The extreme thoughtfulness and interest in knowing all the fine details of our two little boys kept our minds at ease. I loved the fact that upon booking she automatically requested to schedule a call with me to chat some more and to get to know me over the phone. When our boys arrived to her home it was spacious, clean and the energy was calm and positive. She sent photos throughout the day/evening of the boys relaxed and enjoying life! We will definitely use Laura's care again! ”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, roommates, neighbors, and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and basic routines. I’ve also cared for a senior dog with anxiety, and I know how important calm energy, patience, and consistency are. I love being active, going on walks, and spending quality time with dogs. I’m new to Rover, but I take responsibility seriously, follow instructions carefully, and always treat pets like my own. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident. I am a full-time engineer, graduate student, and National Guard service member. I love walking and being active. I am mainly available on weekends and some evenings. Fridays and weekends are my most flexible days, and I plan my bookings around my work schedule so pets always get proper care. I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules and potty breaks. I keep doors secure, remove anything unsafe, and make sure pets are always supervised when needed.
About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness. Whether you’re working a long shift, away for the day, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’d be honored to be someone you can trust with a member of your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) soon! 🐾 My schedule allows me to build pet care naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether you need care while you’re working, away for the day, or out of town, I’ll make sure your little one gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In your home, I will respect both your pet’s routine and your space, following all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions as closely as possible. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable or needs extra attention. My background as a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMT-I, and my veterinary care experience have taught me to stay calm, observant, dependable, and prepared when something unexpected happens. I also take the security of your home seriously. Doors, gates, leashes, and any special safety instructions will always be double-checked. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your little one is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, a quiet companion, or simply someone to keep their normal routine intact, I’ll meet them where they are and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
“I have ZERO complaints. Brandi did an amazing job with my Nubi. She helped her feel comfortable as this was her first time going to a sitter. She kept us updated through text, pictures and videos. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Yolanda was wonderful! We were able to go over and meet her, see her home, where our pup would stay, see her meet the other dogs, etc. It gave us peace about leaving her. She was a wonderful communicator and kept us informed on how Cora was adjusting. When I picked her up she had her all ready to go - she had her stuffed nicely packed up and Cora on her leash. It was a wonderful first experience and I look forward to the relationship that we have started to help care for our girl!”
