“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Brenda and Hannah had their hands full with Princess. It was her first time away and so many aspects of her stay were firsts. Princess was treated like a queen and was so very taken care of even with the anxiety from the fireworks on the 4th. Brenda was sensitive to my anxious heart as well knowing that she had never been anywhere without me and I was a tearful fur parent when I left. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone that wants to have amazing care while being apart for both their fur baby as well as themselves. Princess will definitely be back 😊”
“Evelyn did a very nice job with my two girls. I will definitely be a repeat customer. If anyone needs a nice, safe, and friendly home for their pets, Evelyn is someone to consider for sure! She gave them lots of love and cuddles.”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Monica continue to provide excellent care to my Fluffy. She gives updates with pictures. I am always comfortable leaving him with her. Fluffy enjoys being there with her. Thank you Monica!🙂”
“This was the first time our 2 labs stayed with Elaine. They appeared to have had a good stay and adjusted to the freedom of a dog door and a large fenced back yard to play in. She sent pictures and occasional updates.”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time boarding our dog in the year we've had him. Jessica made everything very easy, and her interactions and conversations during our initial meet and greet made us very comfortable choosing her. She was very responsive before and during the boarding (even before booking) and sent cute pictures even during the Christmas holiday when she had him. Absolutely zero issues all the way through. Very happy to have someone nearby we can trust to leave him with in the future.”
“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.”
“First time boarding and it went amazing. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and content, and the sitter even did a little Thanksgiving photo shoot with her. I felt very comfortable the whole time thanks to the regular updates and would definitely book again.”
“Ximena & Travis are wonderful and took great care of my babies!! They have a lovely, clean home with a fenced in back yard, and two very sweet pups of their own. They provided pics to keep us updated and were easy and flexible with pick up and drop off times. I’m so glad I found a reliable and loving family to keep good care of our pups while we’re gone. Thanks Ximena and Travis!!!!”
“They are wonderful and communicative sitters and my dog was happy during her stay! I received several updates with photos daily and they were responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely use them again!”
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“This is our second time with Susanne and our baby loves her! She’s amazing and her attention to detail, patience and love for our Teenie is unmatched. Teenie feels the love and it shows in the daily pictures Susanne shares with us.”
“Victoria was great with communication and watching Stella. She always sent pictures and videos to let us know how our girl was doing. She even went out of her way to send home some treats for Thanksgiving.”
“We are truly grateful and well pleased with the excellent care Christina provided for our fur baby. We appreciated her sending the pictures and videos while she kept Bean. We highly recommend her will use her again if needed.”
“Daisy takes such great care of MJ! We appreciate her so much for our travel needs. Her communication and commitment to quality care is why we will stick with her for our sitting needs.”

About: My free time is spent at the animal shelter helping socialize kittens, adult and senior cats, helping gather information to update adoption posts. (you may have guessed this already, but yes I did fall in love and adopt one of course). I have multiple families I catsit for regularly. One of the family's has three cats, and the others have 6, the more the merrier!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail-oriented cat lover who genuinely enjoys creating a calm and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I currently have three cats - all with very different personalities. One very anxious and shy (especially with sitters) - but this is the reason I know how taxing pet boarding can be on cats. One with special dietary needs. And another who is very outgoing and playful - one-on-one attention and playtime with her is so important to her well-being. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat's personality and making sure their needs are met (as well as yours as a cat owner!) I know every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent. I’m happy to work at their pace and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home and routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house sitting if needed. I also know how important communication is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Outside of pet sitting, I come from a background in customer service and public relations, which has made me very organized, communicative, and attentive to details. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for both you and your cats!
About: I also have experience caring for cats and understand that they each have their own personalities and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them space when they need it. I’ve cared for cats in friends’ homes and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends pets for years, I purely enjoy being around animals and just offering a helping hand to you! I currently work at a family owned business with flexible hours and I do school online so with a couple days notice I will be easy to get in touch with and fit your needs in my schedule. Currently I live with my parents and we have 3 family dogs, this is why I cannot board your pets at my house but If I were to stay in your home I would treat it with respect and keep it clean and friendly.
About: I believe animals are powerful teachers. They resonate more often and most consistently with Unconditional Love and it is truly fun and fulfilling to serve as guardian for their kind! It’s all about energy!! When there is mutual trust, respect and appreciation for each other, beautiful, lasting, mutually beneficial friendships between mankind and beast can be formed. It would be an honor to get to know your pet!! I just quit my day job so the only thing I do now is go to the gym and focus on creating, building and maintaining multiple dreams/goals (streams of income). I typically follow a written process for animal/s with specific medical or emotional needs and triggers. Whatever exercise/feeding schedule is habitual and comfortable for your Familiar is my priority. If the animal/s signals to me that it requires or desires something different, I check with the guardian first.
“Marissa was excellent with our two kittens! She was able to meet us beforehand to get the key, to meet the kittens, and to learn about their needs. The kittens seemed to warm up to her quickly. She played with them and a highlight of the vacation I was on (hence the need for a pet sitter) was the photos and the detailed updates that Marissa would send! She was fantastic and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using her for all your pet needs!”
“Thank you o much, Melanie is the best ever. She not only took care of my baby but she stay with him a little longer then she had to, to make sure he was ok when she realized he was a little upset and anxious. I will be call Melanie again the next time I’m out of town.”
About: My family were presidents of a border collie rescue. I've had over a thousand dog of all shapes and sizes come through my home and currently I own one dog and my parents own 3 dogs, 4 bunnies, and many reptiles. I've had animals in my life all my life I own a dog. So pet care is a daily task of my life. I love taking my dog to the park and long hikes and I've always had a real love for animals as a whole. My dog is super alllergenic so I've had dogs that require medications every few hours. I would say being on top of meds and consistency is always a top goal. Making sure they aren't having symptoms and daily exercise and play time is a priority as just like us dogs can become depressed cooped up. I have a large suv so taking dogs on rides of any size or multiple is no issue for me. hiking and exploring is always a fun time for me and my puppy and I hope to share it with yours.
About: I’m different from other cat sitters because I don’t just “check in” on cats—I take the time to truly care for them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines, and boundaries, and I respect all of it. Whether your cat is playful, shy, anxious, or a total diva, I move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter habits, give genuine affection (when welcomed), and always prioritize a calm, clean environment. To me, cat sitting isn’t just a job—it’s building trust with your cat and peace of mind for you. 🐾
“Jennifer is the ultimate dog whisper. She is great with all of our pets, she is dependable, timely, and is a good communicator. I can rest assured that my babies are in good hands.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all throughout my life. I’ve owned a dog for about 4 and a half years now. I’ve also owned two cats but was slightly allergic, but I am more than willing to take care of them too. Animals have had such a huge impact on my life. I work full time right now but am free most evenings and weekends! I would love to help anyone out that needs help caring for their pet because I’ve been in that situation myself. I have a fenced in yard and I don’t crate my dog. I am willing to crate my client’s dog if needed, walk them, or bathe them too!
About: With a background in psychology and animal science, I bring a unique understanding of animal behavior, ensuring personalized care for every pet. I have experience with puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and handling pets with special needs. My reliability, adaptability, and genuine love for animals set me apart, providing both pets and owners with peace of mind. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s house sitting, providing overnight care, or checking in for walks and feedings, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I carefully schedule my time to ensure consistency and reliability, prioritizing each pet’s well-being while balancing my other commitments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to ensure comfort and stability. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care needs such as administering medication or adhering to training guidelines. I provide companionship, ensure a clean environment, and keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. For overnight stays, I create a calm and reassuring atmosphere, making sure pets feel safe while their owners are away. My goal is to provide stress-free, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.
“My sitter cancelled on me last minute, which left me in a bind and worried that i could not find another sitter, Rover and Tabetha came through in a pinch. My dog is a high-energy 2 year old untrained Pit/ lab mix. I have a hard time handling him myself, so i was worried about it being a match. We also had some other last minute things which were already planned and Tabetha went out of her way to make sure she met and could work with my dog. She went above and beyond by training him as well as cleaning up after him and making sure he got plenty of exercise while we were gone! Thank you to Rover for helping us find an amazing sitter and to Tabetha for taking such good care of our dog!”
About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.
About: I come from a family that has always had dogs. As soon as I was able my parents taught me to care for them. Today my wife and I have 3 dogs of our own, and provide weekly care for two neighbors. I’m currently self employed which allows me the flexibility to make my schedule work for you and your pup. I’m an honest broker who will always be there for your dog. I’m an honest broker, not an airline, I don’t overbook myself. If I make a commitment to your dog, I’ll be there. I have a fenced in yard, and if desired a dog friendly pup to play with yours. I love long walks around the nearby parks, and a good game of fetch.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and started dog sitting at a young age. I currently have 2 dogs and would gladly welcome your pet into the mix. I feel that dogs truly are our best friends so you can rest assured they will be well taken care of when they're with me. I've watched puppies, seniors and I've even watched a dog that just got out of surgery. I freelance as a photographer and I spend part of my day editing which means plenty of time with your dog! I will make sure your pet gets lots of attention and play time. I walk the dogs daily and have a TON of toys. I have 2 dogs that can play with and keep your dog company. I have crates if needed as well. Dogs will be leashed in my yard at all times but I have parks near by to make sure they get exercise.
“I was very happy with the care Sam received. Brenda is very patient and knowledgeable. Sam was very shy and she worked with that. He loved running with her. Her daughter was amazing with him. He followed her everywhere. He also got along with Brenda’s pets. I have already booked her again.”
“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: I currently have 4 husky pups that are very well socialized and would love more friends to play with. I also work with rescue groups to help pups in need. I have never met a pup I didn’t love! I currently work from home. Your pet will hardly be in a create and will be treated just like one of mine. Many potty breaks throughout the day. I often get on the floor and play so they know I am part of the pack. Toys? Well let’s just say there is not a shortage of toys in the house. Every room we visit has a “toy box”. Treats? No shortage of those here either but, I like to make them earn them - like enforcing commands they already know and rewarding them for going potty. I have almost a half acre with a fully fenced in back yard. Your pet will go out multiple times a day. I also foster and rescue pups so I am very good with socializing new pups with mine. They have previously lived with smaller pups such as a Jack Russell and Yorkie and they loved them to pieces. They also attend “daycare” and “overnight camp” in order to keep them socialized. I also feel like meet and greets are important to ensure your pup(s) interact well with mine. Safety is my number one concern. As I have stated mine are well socialized and I want nothing more to help others socialize theirs as well. Safety is a top priority in my home. I do accept puppies you well you just need to message me separately is we can discuss. My yard is fully fenced in and almost a 1/2 acre. I stop my work day to play fetch it for them for about an hour.
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“Heather was great! I needed her super last minute and she was a great communicator, very flexible and accommodating. Thank you Heather I’m so grateful I found you! We’ll define back soon for Bailey to play. 😊”
About: My Labrador, Dixie, is the reason I fell in love with boarding dogs. She is always happiest when she has a buddy around, and she helps create a relaxing, vacation‑like experience for visiting pups—very different from the stress some dogs feel in traditional boarding facilities. I’ve worked as a professional dog bather and a dog daycare/boarding specialist. To working on Rover for several years now. I got my start caring for neighbors’ cats and dogs as my very first job. It makes me so happy to provide in‑home pet care, and build a safe, comfortable environment here at home with a capacity of up to three dogs total, or one-on-one care if preferred. I’m experienced with higher‑drive dogs and can absolutely provide extra attention or structured activities upon request. I love playing outside with the pups and know how to properly exercise dogs. If your dog isn’t a fan of cats, that’s perfectly fine. I do have one cat who can be used for training if requested, but boarding dogs typically never see her. She has plenty of hiding spots and separate areas, and we prioritize keeping everyone comfortable. For dogs who have never seen a cat before, I’m happy to work on calm exposure through a window at first. If their reactions are appropriate, I may slowly introduce positive‑reinforcement training to help them be more relaxed around cats—though I will only allow true interactions if I’m completely confident in their safety. Training during boarding is available and can be tailored to your dog’s needs. Pricing varies depending on the scope and type of work. This can include reinforcing routines and household rules, building good manners, working on boundaries, supporting exercise and diet routines, and teaching tricks through hand signals, verbal cues, and treat‑based shaping. Extra activities like fetch and frisbee are also available. In addition, I previously worked as a professional dog bather and can provide luxury baths at the end of your dog’s stay. If you’d like your pup to come home clean, soft, and fresh, just let me know! Dixie, my friendly black Labrador, is a wonderful companion for medium to large dogs and shows no aggression around toys or food. I look forward to welcoming your pup and giving them a safe, fun, and comfortable home‑away‑from‑home experience. I am a full time dog boarding specialist. I only board one dog or three household dogs at a time. The dogs rotate being crated to having free access to the yard and house. 4 ft Chain link fence. If your pup is a jump risk I can walk them with a leash in the yard. Airlock gate attached to fenced front porch to prevent dogs walking out front door. Surrounding neighbor’s do not own pets and our neighborhood has no foot traffic. Your pups will not see any dogs other than mine.

“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day.

I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

About: Since age 4 I've had an animal in my home. I've brought home so many of our family pets over the years basically off of the streets. I cared for them faithfully and lovingly until they crossed that rainbow bridge. Animals are naturally drawn to me and I have several tips and tricks to get your fur baby comfortable and content by the end of our visit. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. Every morning I wake up between 5 and 6 every day and begin feeding and caring for my pets at home. I feed and water 2-3 times daily. I do walks and play time and of course cuddles and pets.

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently a volunteer firefighter for Columbia fire department at Station 26 in Blythewood. As a volunteer, my schedule at the station is flexible, which allows me to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

About: We are a family of 4 (counting our dog Pepper). I work from home so your dog won’t be alone. I grew up always having a pet to take care of; cats, hamsters and many dogs of different breeds. We have a 16 yr old mini schnauzer that is a little sassy but always friendly with dogs, cats and humans. Dogs are part of our family, they will be allowed in couch to snuggle with us while watching tv and we’ll also spend time outside. We have a fenced yard and we live across a park, I will take your dog for a walk at least twice a day. Your dog will feel loved and safe in our home while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are very flexible with our time. I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day. We go outside several times during the day. We do not have a fence, however I take Pepper on walks on the leash very often. Your dog can sleep on its bed, we also have an extra bed.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all throughout my life. I’ve owned a dog for about 4 and a half years now. I’ve also owned two cats but was slightly allergic, but I am more than willing to take care of them too. Animals have had such a huge impact on my life. I work full time right now but am free most evenings and weekends! I would love to help anyone out that needs help caring for their pet because I’ve been in that situation myself. I have a fenced in yard and I don’t crate my dog. I am willing to crate my client’s dog if needed, walk them, or bathe them too!
About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.
About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!
“Scott and his wife Brittney were great to work with! My mother-in-law was staying with our dogs Echo & Loki while my husband and I were travelling for a week and we wanted to find someone to walk our pups daily for her. Scott was very friendly and quick to reply while messaging him about our request and easy to work with. The meet and greet went well and the pups enjoyed meeting both him and Brittney. They went above and beyond by going with us for a walk around the neighborhood during the meet and then also coming over again to do a walk with just them and the pups! We knew our pups were going to be taken care of! Everything seemed to go well while we were away and the pups were exercised daily. We would definitely use Scott and Brittney for dog walkers if needed in the future.”

“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Brenda and Hannah had their hands full with Princess. It was her first time away and so many aspects of her stay were firsts. Princess was treated like a queen and was so very taken care of even with the anxiety from the fireworks on the 4th. Brenda was sensitive to my anxious heart as well knowing that she had never been anywhere without me and I was a tearful fur parent when I left. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone that wants to have amazing care while being apart for both their fur baby as well as themselves. Princess will definitely be back 😊”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Heather watched our 2 dogs in her home and was great. She was very flexible with drop-off time and adjusting it as we had some issues leaving. She has a great fenced-in yard where they can run around and her dog is very friendly even with our one dog barking at her when we first dropped them off. Both of our dogs did great, we will use her again.”
“This was the first time our 2 labs stayed with Elaine. They appeared to have had a good stay and adjusted to the freedom of a dog door and a large fenced back yard to play in. She sent pictures and occasional updates.”
“This was our first time using Rover and first time boarding our dog in the year we've had him. Jessica made everything very easy, and her interactions and conversations during our initial meet and greet made us very comfortable choosing her. She was very responsive before and during the boarding (even before booking) and sent cute pictures even during the Christmas holiday when she had him. Absolutely zero issues all the way through. Very happy to have someone nearby we can trust to leave him with in the future.”
“Ximena & Travis are wonderful and took great care of my babies!! They have a lovely, clean home with a fenced in back yard, and two very sweet pups of their own. They provided pics to keep us updated and were easy and flexible with pick up and drop off times. I’m so glad I found a reliable and loving family to keep good care of our pups while we’re gone. Thanks Ximena and Travis!!!!”
“They are wonderful and communicative sitters and my dog was happy during her stay! I received several updates with photos daily and they were responsive to all of my messages. I would absolutely use them again!”

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.
“Kaylee is a doll! She has a lovely home and took wonderful care of my Meli! She sent me several pictures every day as well as updated me on how she was doing. My dog can be very anxious but Kaylee talked to her and took her on lots of walks and played with her. I will absolutely utilize Kaylee's services anytime I need someone to take care of my baby.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Nancy at the last minute. She was able to watch our dog(Baby) and I cannot be more happy. Baby is usually anxious around anyone she meets for the first time. Not so with Nancy. She fell in love with Nancy when she first saw her. Nancy, communicated by letting us know how things were going and sending us pictures. Although it was just for one night, I will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you again, Nancy!”
“First time ever using Chrissy for my 5 month pup she was wonderful sending pictures and updates on how my dog was doing . I loved that she was treated like a family pet allowed to not be crate all day , she was able to jump on couch and feel like home , play outside and join the other dogs for playtime . I highly recommend crissy care 5 stars ⭐️”
“Victoria was great with communication and watching Stella. She always sent pictures and videos to let us know how our girl was doing. She even went out of her way to send home some treats for Thanksgiving.”

“Daisy takes such great care of MJ! We appreciate her so much for our travel needs. Her communication and commitment to quality care is why we will stick with her for our sitting needs.”
