“I had a great experience with Jen! She was friendly, reliable, and took wonderful care of my dog. I really appreciated the daily picture updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved playing with hers and came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“omg, Mel is amazing! My mom and I always heard bad things about Rover, but we had a family emergency during Master's week (everywhere was booked!) and we decided to try our luck on Rover and found Mel, we instantly fell in love (as well as our two dogs)! Mel is amazing with communication, keeping your pets happy, and Grey is an amazing playmate! We will be booking again either for trips or whenever we need a break from our dogs. I highly recommend Mel <3”
“melanie was amazing :) with this being our first time leaving our benji with a sitter she was so kind to answer all our questions she was patient and sent us updates along with pictures which was very comforting to know benji was in good hands . she’s the best !!”
“Samantha was great with our dogs! My border collie is a sensitive soul and she felt comfortable immediately at Samantha’s which is a huge compliment to Samantha! Our Irish setter is a year old and still has a lot of puppy in him. He is a little bit of a trouble maker and Samantha bonded with him and was able to navigate some of his behaviors with comfort. I will definitely go back to Samantha! Thank you so much for taking excellent care of our dogs, Samantha!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Karen! She did such a great job of making sure she was walked and had a chance to get all her energy out! She did a great job with our very active puppy!”
“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”
“Zac was awesome with our Golden Retriever, Ruby. He texted updates with pics & she always looked so happy & relaxed. From the booking, to dropping her off & picking her up, everything was super simple! We’ll be back!”
“Emilee is SO kind, and sent so many updates with photos, and loved on my sweet girl while I was gone. It was SO nice to know she was in great hands! Will certainly book again!”
“Harley’s experience was wonderful. She enjoyed playing with their family dogs and cooling off in their kiddie pool. We enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of her having a great time during her visit. Our experience was also wonderful. They were very flexible for us with drop off and pick up when our plans changed. They even let us know when she ran out of food and offered to pick her up some for us. They went above and beyond and took great care of our Harley girl. Very grateful, would 100% recommend and will use them for future trips. Would give them more stars if I could!”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
“Margie is awesome! She is the sweetest person ever. As long as she will sit dogs we will always take blue to her!!! Beautiful person and very caring, we knew our blue was in the best hands. I would recommend Margie to everyone. We will DEFINITELY be using her services again and again.”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Whittney was incredible. I was so nervous to leave my Ghost because he has a lot of anxiety and she kept me reassured and up to date with pictures and updates the whole time. She was responsive and so incredibly kind. Ghost had the biggest smile in all of the pictures and videos she sent so I know he had the best time!”
“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!”
“Jenny was so wonderful with our very anxious and scared dog. He ended up having a great time hanging out with Jenny and Marshall! We would highly recommend Jenny!”
“Kira was amazing. It was a last minute decision to board Caleb and she was able to accommodate my needs. I'll definitely use her for my next boarding and even get doggy day care.”

“We could not imagine a better caretaker for Ace! Sheryl gives him TONS of attention and he adores her right back. He is not fond of people he doesn't know but he took to Sheryl immediately and I know he is happy to see her when we are away. She sends GREAT, thorough 'report cards' with pics and we feel very fortunate to have met her!”
About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, not just cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog for most of my life and will do anything to give them the love and care all animals need. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina. I love being a student but I also wanted to look into doing something on the side but that’s also fun. I think it’s always extremely important to be respectful of peoples homes. It’s a personal space where people are meant to feel relaxed and be themselves. Respecting my clients home would be top priority along with the care of their pet(s).
“We are incredibly grateful for Adrian. On short notice she was able to do a meet and greet with our puppies, and look after them the following day. She communicated every time she visited and sent pictures as well.”
“It was a pleasure to meet Stephanie! She did a great job with Abby & Oscar. Especially since Oscar the cat would not come in the house before we left - I really appreciated knowing he came in and they made friends that night. Looking forward to working with her again.”
About: I myself am a dog owner. I have one shitzus who is 16 years old and a new Jack Russell puppy who is now 5 years old. I love playing tug a war. Running with them. Cudding and talking to them. I can never find a dog who loves taking a bath because for some reason my dogs don't but, they love to have their hair combed. I have a open home and let them run around inside and outside. My dogs usually sleep on my bed. I love cuddling with my dogs during the rain it's fun to know they have someone to rely on. I am a soon to be college student. I’m living with my best friends but are apartment complex is super friendly to animals! We have a dog park and many more! My besties both are big dog lovers. I myself love all animals. I do have a part time job I do get my schedule during the end of the week. So just communicate with me if you want something done a certain way or have a schedule you ALWAYS follow. I am a friendly and open person. So don't be afraid to talk to me. I work from home so I just stay home most of the time. I’m more of a gamer and I like to watch anime. So I’ll be there to snuggle and give your pets love and kisses! And feed them. Well I have a a fenced back yard!:3 where they can play and have fun! We also have a little dog park that I can walk with them to. I just let them be themselves. I want them to feel that they are happy with me and safe. I work from home and by the time the time I work all the babies will be in bed and have gone to the bathroom one final time. So I'm mostly free throughout the day. We have a fenced yard where they can run around and play outside! Plus plenty of space inside for them to walk around and explore
“Chelsea did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while we went out of town for Memorial Day weekend. She was always on time, communicated well and always sent thorough descriptions of her visits with pictures. She went above and beyond while taking care of my boys, from drying them off when they got wet from dew on their morning walk, to cleaning up a pee accident one of them had. As someone who has had a bad experience with another sitter taking care of my dogs, Chelsea was a breath of fresh air and definitely sets the standard for great pet care. If you need someone reliable who will take care of your pets like her own, then Chelsea is definitely the sitter for you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridge Spring
“Shermida is amazing! Super sweet and amazing to work with. Great response times and communication, wants to know how to best work with pups to make time with the the best it can be. Would highly recommend! Would love to be able to have my girls with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and many other animals for many years since I was a kid. I grew up always outside and around animals so it feels very natural for me to be around them and in my home. I currently have a small farm with two dogs that guard the sheep, one cat, two sheep and chickens. I’m currently a stay at home mom. My days are spent mostly at home and working on our little farm with a flexible schedule to do a drop in visit, day care, or to have a boarder. My children love animals and are used to being around various breeds and types. We have large fenced in back yard, in addition 5 acres to take the dogs on leashed walks. We never leave the dogs outside alone and the cats we watch remain inside unless they are leash trained. I’m very happy to learn what works best for your pet. I would not leave them outside unattended, if I have to leave the house for some reason they would go in their crate or be in the house depending on your needs. I’m happy to do crates or whatever would make your pet feel most comfortable, but it is not a requirement that they have a crate. We usually find the dogs feel safer when they can sleep with us in our room if that is okay with you. We want all the animals happy and most importantly safe!
“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.”
“We came in from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog while we were attending an event. Our dog was happy and Hillary even clipped his nails for us. Thank you!”
“Luna had a fantastic time with Shannon and her daughter. They were caring and attentive to Luna's need and we will definitely be using their services again. Shannon reached out with updates and pictures throughout the day and is a very good care giver.”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“Laura was fantastic! taking care of both my dogs for multiple day care days during my month stay in Aiken. The pups looked forward to visiting with her. playing in her beautiful yard, adventures to nearby parks or just chillin watchin the rain. Highly recommend.”
About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!
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)!
“Jessica was amazing! She helped out last-minute when my other sitter canceled. She asked questions to make sure she had all info needed for Cooper. Communicated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. Clean house and even went extra the before Cooper came over to make sure any small things were picked up off the floor since he’s a puppy and puts everything in his mouth. Her kids were an absolutely delight for Cooper to play with. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Ever since I was little I've preferred the company of pets over people. My first job was at petco as a sales associate then after in the grooming salon and there i blossomed into who I am now! Currently taking a break from work after my stroke and what better way to spend that down time than cuddling with your babies? My favorite thing to do is work with animals and it truly does not feel like work to me. I dont have a fenced in yard so all walks are on leash. I do have long lines for times they need to stretch their legs and will be adding seperated fenced in areas for the dogs to have some safe secure fun in the good weather times.
“Buttercup had a great time with Kira and friends. She came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. Kira was friendly and helpful with our new baby fears. Buttercup will be back for sure?”
“Very pleasant young lady. Took excellent care of my little girl cotton. Thanks for the picture updates!!! They put my mind at ease. This was my first time using Rover and thanks to Nahla it won’t be my last!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand the routines, personalities, and little quirks that make each dog unique. Being a lifelong dog mom means I’ve handled everything — feeding schedules, exercise needs, training basics, medication routines, and plenty of love. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy engaging walks, outdoor time, and fun play sessions that match their energy level. Whether they’re a high‑energy adventurer or a slow‑paced stroller, I make sure every outing is safe, stimulating, and tailored to their comfort. At home, I’m all about affection. Snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches, and kisses are part of the daily routine. I create a warm, cozy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family while you’re away. I’m a stay‑at‑home mom, which means my schedule is wide open and fully flexible. I’m home throughout the day and able to care for puppies and dogs anytime. Whether you need last‑minute help, daytime care, or consistent weekly support, I’m available and ready to give your pup all the attention, playtime, and snuggles they need. Your pup will have a blast here- a fenced yard to run and play. Have a sweet fur baby here to keep them company and help feel right at home. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment full of wagging tails. I’m also happy to stay in your home if your pup feels more comfortable in their own environment. I provide the same loving care, snuggles, playtime, and attention right where they feel safest. To help maintain their routine and provide consistent, reliable care. This option can help reduce stress and keep your fur baby in a familiar, comfortable space.
About: I have owned dogs for over 34 years. Our dogs have ranged from Great Pyreneese and Grey Hounds down to 5 pound chihuahuas. Our last dog (Jack the teacup Chihuahua) lived until he was 18 years old. We decided it would be fun to help others board their beloved dogs as we had the privilege of using house sitters many times over the last 34 years. I am an adjunct faculty at a nearby University and teach almost exclusively online. My schedule at home is pretty much that of a stay at home mom. My husband and I love to take long walks and have always in the past included our dogs. We have a large home (2700 square ft) with no stairs. We have a large fenced in backyard and we do have an in ground pool. I always go outside with our dogs as I do not trust hawks and owls (especially with small breeds) and not all dogs are familiar with pools. I love to share my couch with pets to get extra cuddle time in. We allow dogs in every room of our home and invite smaller dogs into bed with us. Food and water is always available (except when an owner wants a specific schedule). Most of the home is wood floors with the exception of our living room.
“Jennifer and her husband were so kind and made me feel so comfortable with my first Rover experience! They have a great fenced in backyard for dogs to play in, and their dogs are very sweet. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a sitter!”
About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a natural love for animals. Attentive to each pet’s unique needs, providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment while owners are away. Experienced with dogs, cats, and small animals—treats every pet like family. I have experience with special needs, and senior pets, as well as potty training puppies. When I meet with family, questions are answered in order to arrange the best schedule for you and your pet. Currently pet sitting is my full-time position, which allows flexibility to keep your fur baby as close to their usual schedule. When caring for a pet in their home, I do my best to keep the same routine and care that the parents keep. Ongoing communication, learning about each individual animals personality, likes and dislikes, and any medical concerns are important to make sure your pet is getting the best care and you have piece of mind 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.
“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”
About: Growing up I always had dogs (and cats) which made me an avid animal lover from horses to dogs to cats. I have owned several dogs throughout my adult life. I currently own three dogs ( Sputnik, Newt, Ares) and love them more than anything. I work at the zoo with other avid animal lovers. Sea turtles and otters are my favorite btw. I've worked at a doggy day care and have volunteered my time at shelters and other zoos. I'll give you a full report after every visit with your fur kid. I can administer medications if needed. I'm used to all kinds of activity levels. I can accommodate seniors, hyper active and everything in between. I look forward to meeting you and your fur kids! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups. I can easily stop in before work and spend some time with them and even longer after work. I am used to dogs that are escape artists, so your dogs will. always be safe and secure with me. I can easily read a dogs body language so nothing is unexpected.
About: I am a certified dog trainer in sc, I worked at the local petco for three and a half years as their senior dog trainer. I worked as a dog bather for 2 years. I can do nails if the dog is not aggressive. I worked at a local boarding, daycare, grooming, home visit, and dog walking facility for 2years as well. I also have vet tech training, so medication is not a problem. I currently have made this my full time job. My availability is pretty open, and I’m very flexible with my days and times. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message! I am not currently doing boarding in my home. I just don’t have the room, unfortunately.I have a lot of experience house sitting and doing home visits. Dog walking, boarding, grooming, dog training, vet tech, I’ve done it all.
About: I grew up with many dogs and cats and have loved helping take care of all animals ever since I was a kid!

About: Hi there! I’m Cecilya, and truthfully I’m just looking for more reasons to spend more time outside. Animals have always held a soft spot in my heart and will treat yours as if they were my own when needed. — As a distance runner I’m always looking for a running buddy because my couch potato Rottie isn’t built for distance. If you need check-ins, long walks, short walks, or maybe even want your pets to just have some company for a while I would be more than happy to build long lasting relationships to ensure long term comfort for your pets. I’m really picky about who watches my pets because I don’t feel like people will provide them the same type of care, but I will provide you with as much or as little updates, pictures, and check-ins to ensure your comfortability. I work from home and would be able to give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks and would like to use these for more productivity than doom scrolling, so getting out of the house for drop ins or take my work with me for a longer sit in and play situation. With my work from home schedule I can easily keep a consistent feeding, bathroom, and cuddle schedule allowing me to be able to provide genuine companionship and care to your pets. I have four cats of my own, and each of them have their own quirks and personalities. I’m used to meeting my own pets where they’re at and moving at their pace to care for their needs and not push their boundaries. I play with them in spare moments but my cats are more cuddly than most so they all play with each other more than with me. I’m never one to force a cat to like me, if your cat does not like attention I won’t go out of my way to make them uncomfortable in their own home. For dogs, I’m experienced with daily grooming and health routines like brushing teeth and cleaning ears, and I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and downtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while sticking closely to their usual routine.
About: I work summers at my mom’s dog daycare, boarding, and training facility. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and know my way around horses too. Morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feed/playtime, and overnights available. Flexible around classes. Loving, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. Text anytime to book! I provide loving overnight care in your home, keeping pets on routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles, ensuring comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

I live on 10 acres of land that has about a 50x50 fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play. I also have lots of space to walk and play with them. I live on a dirt road with very little traffic, so your babies are safe and will have lots of room and fun!!! When your babies are in the house, they are able to do just as you let them do at home. I do separate everyone when they are eating (that way there is no one eating someone else's food. Everyone comes in and sleeps at night. I also have an ADT system on my home so if I am out they are safely put in the house behind locked doors with an alarm system on. When they are outside, I have a camera on the fenced where the pups can be watched from my phone.
About: My first job was at a German Shepherd training facility when I was 16. I was responsible for bathing, feeding, exercising, and playing with the dogs! I was one of their main caretaker for a couple years. I was also the primary puppy trainer at the facility. I’ve also had dogs of my own my entire life—big and small, and I absolutely adore dogs and love working with them. It makes me truly happy and relaxed to be with animals and I’m trying to find a stable living doing something I love! I’m currently looking for work, so I have plenty of free time to walk or watch your pets! I would really like to be a full time dog walker for a while. I’m 22, so I’m young and I have lots of energy to play and time to spend with your babies. I would like pet care to be apart of my routine daily Monday-Friday! I’m also available to walk or watch pets over the weekend/long periods of time! I live on a farm, so I have lots of space for your pets to play and run around on! I also have a very sweet and friendly dog of my own that would keep your baby good company! I can easily crate your pet if need be, I have various sizes here and lots of room for storage. I would totally understand wanting your dog to stay at home in their normal environment as well, so I would be more than willing to travel and stay at your home with them while you’re away!
About: We’ve had our puppy since he was 8 weeks old! We’ve potty trained him and taught him to do basic skills and to be very obedient. He could run outside and come back immediately when we call if he gets out. I am a stay at home mom. We have a 3 year old German shepherd that is low maintenance so plenty of time to help other furry friends. Also open to bringing him along for play dates, he is super friendly! We are working on a fence but for now either let our dog out the back yard to potty or play with our supervision or place him on the lead for short periods of time. He runs freely inside and has food/water in bowl at all times during the day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Family, Friends, and neighbors have allowed me to take care of their pets and home while they have been away on vacation or while they are working for long periods of time.

I’ve also taken care of family and friends pets while they’re out of town. I currently have a part-time job and have college classes one or twice a week every here and there but still have a bunch of time in the mornings and weekends to take care of any lovely puppy or dog. I have an inside dog who’s old so is very calm but sometimes energetic she’s free to roam the house and outside yard without a leash. I have a fenced backyard with two nice but energetic dogs.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

“I had a great experience with Jen! She was friendly, reliable, and took wonderful care of my dog. I really appreciated the daily picture updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog loved playing with hers and came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“omg, Mel is amazing! My mom and I always heard bad things about Rover, but we had a family emergency during Master's week (everywhere was booked!) and we decided to try our luck on Rover and found Mel, we instantly fell in love (as well as our two dogs)! Mel is amazing with communication, keeping your pets happy, and Grey is an amazing playmate! We will be booking again either for trips or whenever we need a break from our dogs. I highly recommend Mel <3”

“Samantha was great with our dogs! My border collie is a sensitive soul and she felt comfortable immediately at Samantha’s which is a huge compliment to Samantha! Our Irish setter is a year old and still has a lot of puppy in him. He is a little bit of a trouble maker and Samantha bonded with him and was able to navigate some of his behaviors with comfort. I will definitely go back to Samantha! Thank you so much for taking excellent care of our dogs, Samantha!”
“Amazing experience, extremely communicative and easy to work with could not have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were very happy upon pick up and my dogs love playing with her puppy.”

“Harley’s experience was wonderful. She enjoyed playing with their family dogs and cooling off in their kiddie pool. We enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of her having a great time during her visit. Our experience was also wonderful. They were very flexible for us with drop off and pick up when our plans changed. They even let us know when she ran out of food and offered to pick her up some for us. They went above and beyond and took great care of our Harley girl. Very grateful, would 100% recommend and will use them for future trips. Would give them more stars if I could!”
“Honey has stayed with Cory and Stacey before and has a great time with them. They send pictures that show that she is comfortable with them in their home. I don’t worry about her, I know she is well taken care of.”
“Such a great experience! Yolanda was attentive to our pets and took lots of pictures for us to see how they were doing during their stay with her. I recommend Yolanda! We had no worries or concerns while she had the pups. That speaks volumes when you leave your fur babies for a week with another person. We would select Yolanda's profile again when we need a sitter. She was great!”
“Whittney was incredible. I was so nervous to leave my Ghost because he has a lot of anxiety and she kept me reassured and up to date with pictures and updates the whole time. She was responsive and so incredibly kind. Ghost had the biggest smile in all of the pictures and videos she sent so I know he had the best time!”

“Kira was amazing. It was a last minute decision to board Caleb and she was able to accommodate my needs. I'll definitely use her for my next boarding and even get doggy day care.”
“Aubriana did an awesome job with our pups. She was able to take them on short notice and provided excellent care with updates and photos. She made the extra effort with our older less social dog. We will absolutely be bringing our dogs back to her care.”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
“Rachel was great! This was my first time leaving my pet with someone on Rover, and from the initial meet and greet to the daily updates, and for going above and beyond when my pup got carsick, I could not have been happier!”
“Michele is the best, a kind hearted person with a gentle animal loving spirit. My little Archie was quickly at ease under her watch. Her setup for dog care is unrivaled in our community. 10/10- I will use her services again!”
