Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ridgeway
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ridgeway
“Evelyn is always so great with last minute accommodations! She also sends timely updates. My pup comes back home like he had the time of his life. We will definitely continue using her services.”
“Thoroughly pleased with the dog sitting services provided. Communication was open and it seems my little guy had an amazing time!! 10/10 I highly recommend!!!”
“Our girls love going to grandma's house! We jokingly say that because it is exactly how it feels - the atmosphere, the comfort, Evelyn's sweet demeanor. She takes great care of our girls and really does care. We can't recommend her enough!”
“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Merrell was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet puppy Luna!!!! I highly recommend her. She was wonderful at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures every day! We will definitely have her watch Luna in the future! She went above and beyond and took wonderful care of our little girl! I could tell she had a blast hanging out! Thank you so much! ?”
“Lindsey was great with Zippo! Sent lots of pictures and genuinely seemed to enjoy having my dog around while I was away. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Raquel was great. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her help without my last minute request. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the days. We will be back again.”
“Stacey was very accommodating to my schedule and has a bubbly personality. Willie enjoyed his time with her and I could enjoy my trip with not worrying about my fur baby. I will use her again if/when the need raises.”
“Cory and his family are very attentive when caring for our pup. After finding him on Rover, it’s now easy to go away for an overnight or weeklong trip. We never have to worry if our pup is lonely or having a great time. Cory always sends photo updates on how things are going. Looking forward to booking Cory’s services again.”
“We have used several Rover sitters and had good results with all of them but Becky is a step above. We had to go out of state over Thanksgiving and our pup was going to need more attention than normal as she was having back surgery on Tuesday after we returned. Becky was the only sitter that I would trust to take care of Max and would have stayed home with Max if she had not been available. Highly recommend Becky,”
“I was in need of a last minute sitter for my big boy buddy. This was Buddies second stay there. Kendra's response was quick and professional. I found everything neat and in order. (Important to me) Buddy immediately ran into her house like they were old friends, Not common behavior for him.He knows when I am getting ready to leave him I was pleased that he was so comfortable there. The care was exceptional. Thank Kendra”
“Nothing but positives...I consider my dog high maintenance but Susan and her husband charmed her into good behavior and even socializing with other dogs. I got updates and pictures everyday. They really enjoy dogs and understand every dog has its quirks. I'll definitely use them again.”
“Great person and very personable. Nontombe did a great job with our Lilo. Kept us posted via pictures and videos about her wellbeing. Nontombe has the ideal setting for our Lilo with a huge backyard for running and playing. She took the time to play with and walk her. Lilo loves her ball and Nontombe took the time to toss it for her allowing her to fetch. Very satisfied with her service. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Although I booked at the very last minute with Niagara, that did not change the quality of care my Lola received from her. I really appreciated the texts and picture mail throughout her stay. Book with her, you will not be disappointed. I know I was thoroughly impressed.”
“Lexi has stayed with Debbie on multiple occasions since 2017. Debbie is an awesome caregiver! I appreciate the updates and photos that Debbie gives during each stay. Lexi has had some anxiety issues since she was a puppy, and Debbie knows exactly how to work with her. Because of Debbie's knowledge and careful observations of Lexi's behavior, she helped me get Lexi placed with a sitter in a different location when I had a family funeral out of town. The new sitter would usually require dogs to have a temperament test before a stay, but with Debbie's input, I was able to find care for Lexi during the funeral. I truly appreciate Debbie's help and professionalism! I'm very glad I found her on Rover.”

“Ashley took care of our cat Cheddar while we were away from 10 days in Europe. She took care of him as if he was her own and sent us pictures every time she came over to check on him. You can tell she has a true passion for animals and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“When my train from the West Coast was unexpectedly canceled during a two-week visit there, forcing me to find another train that would get me back to S.C. two days later than planned, Moe helped me out without hesitation. She took care of Sebastian, my cat, with the same care and love she gives to her own pets. She also took care of other needs that impacted Sebastian, such as restoring power to the TV channel my cat watches after a power outage, and notifying me of water damage inside the home after a severe thunderstorm. Moe has proven time and again why she is a Star Sitter. She always goes above and beyond her duties to make sure your pet is safe and sound.”
“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!”
“Samantha has been an amazing cat sitter! She has taken such great care of my two cats while I've been away. She keeps their litter boxes clean, leaves them treats, and always makes sure she actually sees them to confirm they're doing well—even when they're hiding or don't want to be touched. She also sends me pictures and keeps me updated through text, which gives me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. Animal care brings me great happiness, and I'm excited to meet and get to know each fur baby that I'd be lucky enough to care for.
“Natalie was such a great last minute sitter, truly a Godsend! She was very kind and my babygirl seemed to enjoy her company very much, I would recommend Natalie to anyone who needs a good drop in sitter. Communication and timeliness were on point 10/10 💕”
“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”
“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”
“Lauren was so great with our pups! She was able to help us on super short notice and still made time to come over a day prior for a meet and greet. She was punctual and provided pictures at each drop in. Would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her again!”
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”
“I feel like we picked a wonderful and trustworthy person to house sit for us. She was on time, communicated with us during her stay and is just a really nice peron. We are repeat customers!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life taken care of then. I currently have 2 year old pug and we go to the dog park almost every day. Milo, my current dog is the most spoiled dog. I know I cook his food so he can be nice and healthy and his coat can be nice and shiny and soft And take the time out to make sure that he gets all his Zumiez out So I currently work for T-Mobile typically work around seven hours a day, but I still have a Lotta free time before and after depending on the day. I still manage to take my little Pug on numerous, walks into the dog park every day, and typically free on the weekends all day. Honestly, I love dogs so I will treat your dog like It’s my own, I do require all animals have updated shots and car seat belts as Milo and I often go on car rides and to the dog park… also if your dog is not neutered or spayed that is fine but please inform me prior so I can book accordingly, I do have pee pads for dogs who aren’t potty trained although most young puppies are easy to tech when a older dog is present.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridgeway
“Hannah was awesome with my dog. She gave me routine updates. On day 2 of her watching him he didn’t even hesitate to get out of the car. I will use her again anytime I need service. I highly recommend her.”
“Isabela was able to accommodate us last minute on a holiday, which was super helpful to our situation! Our dog had a great time, and came back to us super happy. Thank you!”
“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”
“Exactly what we expected from their bio on Rover. Courteous, professional and punctual. We look forward to them taking care of our boys for a long time. Thank you Janece and Matthew.”
“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.”
“I had a last-minute request for doggy daycare for my two dogs and she was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating and took great care of them. I’d definitely trust her with my babies again.”
“Daisy was excellent with my pup. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my sweet boy for the 1st time ever. He was also more relaxed than I expected. She followed up with me regarding his day and made sure to send pics. I will definitely book again!”
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.
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”
“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”
“Sebastian and his family were so very kind—and my Jet had a great time with them!! We will definitely call on them for our Rover needs anytime we are visiting Columbia! Thanks for an awesome experience! ❤️”
About: Hi! My name is Emma and I’ve been pet sitting for over eight years! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have a husky of my own named Nala, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I have cared for pets of all different personalities and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll always treat your pet like I would my own! I’m currently a senior at the University of South Carolina and have a pretty flexible schedule. During the week, I’m available between classes for walks, drop-ins, or some extra playtime and attention. On weekends, I have open availability and am happy to help with any of your pet care needs! I have a spacious, fully fenced in yard and a pet friendly home. I’m more than happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I always make their safety and happiness a priority and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect as my own.
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
“Teia was comfortable with qais from the start. We appreciated the many updates with pics and video of the great walk he took teia on. Teia will definitely stay with qais again!”
“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.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ridgeway
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was three years old, and I’ve loved every whisker, wag, and wiggle along the way. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even fish — if it has paws, fur, or fins, it’s had a place in my home and my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained hands‑on experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting pets through illness, always with patience and gentle care. I treat every animal like family, because that’s exactly what they’ve always been to me. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just a friendly face, I’m here to make their day brighter and keep their tail wagging. I’m available throughout the day to stop by and give your pets all the attention they need — whether that’s a quick visit for pets and love, a longer hangout, or a nice walk to break up their day. I’m flexible with timing and happy to provide extra check-ins if your furry family member needs a little more company or care. At home, my pets are truly family, and their care reflects that every day. I feed my German Shepherd, Grischa and Boxer mix, Elsa, every morning and evening with their vitamins, fish oil, and allergy medication, and my cat Brey gets his meals on the same schedule. I scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, and the dogs enjoy multiple trips to our fenced backyard — staying out as long as they want when the weather is nice. They get healthy treats throughout the day, but only after a good shake, spin, stay, or another fun trick. Caring for them is part of my routine and one of my favorite parts of the day.
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’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.
About: I 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 volunteering part-time which allows me a more flexible schedule which in turn makes it easier 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: I have had dogs for 10 years and know what it takes to take care of them the best way possible. I enjoy their presence and am able to share the love. I currently work part time at the university of South Carolina, so I have plenty of time to help out and take care of pets I make sure to monitor my dogs when it is time to take them outside. I make sure to keep them on a schedule and reward them after
About: For over 6 years I've been working in the pet care industry. From 2019-2023 I worked in the dog daycare and boarding business, first as a kennel tech at Central Park Dog Daycare in Oklahoma City, then for almost 3 years at Peachtree Pets in Georgia, where I worked as a kennel manager. During my time as a kennel tech, I received well over 100 hours of training in dog behavior from multiple sources. I have administered medications of all kinds, including insulin, to dogs of all behavior types. From 2023-2025 I worked at Hollywood Feed, where I took their extensive dog and cat nutrition training and sold organic, holistically sourced dog and cat food. From them, I learned the importance of feeding high quality food. Now, my dogs eat better food than I do, but they've never been healthier! I have two dogs of my own, who are my pride and joy. They're happy, spoiled, and have a great bond despite all their differences. Right now I'm mainly working from home as an artist. I plan to begin selling my work at street fairs, but those events only last a few hours on a couple days of the week, so overall, my schedule is currently, completely open and workable. I am completely open to spending as much time with your pet as you'd like me to, whether I'm hanging out with them for several hours each day, or only taking them out to potty briefly, it's totally up to the pet's comfort and your own needs. I've taken care of hundreds of dogs, each with their own specific personality and needs, and am prepared and excited to care for many more.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, giving me 33 years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I recently worked in the pet care industry, which gave me even more insight into providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I personally own a German Shepherd that I trained myself, so I’m confident in handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior pets who need extra love and gentle attention. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they’re my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday routine! I recently moved to Columbia and have the flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and consistency they need—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or longer stays. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, so dogs enjoy plenty of daily walks and outdoor time. I have a crate of my own if needed for your pet. My own pets are very friendly and social, so visiting animals will always feel welcomed and comfortable. I keep routines consistent, making sure every pet feels at home with lots of love, attention, and playtime. In Your Home: I care for pets just as you would—keeping their routine, environment, and comfort a top priority. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! In high school, I started volunteering at a veterinary hospital and eventually worked there, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets and made me realize just how much I love working with animals. Growing up, I had all kinds of pets, including dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and even iguanas. Because of that, I'm comfortable caring for animals with all sorts of personalities and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can administer medications, including pills, injections, and other treatments as directed by your veterinarian. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy tail wag or helping a nervous pup feel comfortable and at home. Most mornings start around 7:00 AM with potty breaks and breakfast. After everyone has eaten and settled in, I open the dog door so pups can safely move between the house and yard throughout the day. When the weather is nice, we spend plenty of time outside playing fetch, exploring the yard, splashing in the kiddie pool, enjoying enrichment activities, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Depending on your dog's personality and your approval, we may also enjoy car rides, trips to the park, or local walking trails. Throughout the day, there are plenty of potty breaks, supervised play sessions, cuddle time, and opportunities to rest. Dogs who prefer quieter environments are given space to relax, while active pups get lots of exercise and engagement. Dinner is usually around 6:00 PM, giving everyone plenty of time for evening potty breaks before winding down for the night. Bedtime is typically between 8:00 and 9:00 PM, with lots of cozy snuggles and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Whether your dog loves to play all day or prefers lounging on the couch, I'll make sure they feel right at home and receive plenty of attention, love, and care. **Safety, Trust & Environment** Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is for dogs to stick to routines, so I do my best to follow the schedule they're used to at home—from feeding times to bedtime routines and everything in between. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Playtime is always monitored, and I regularly check my fenced yard and gates to make sure everything stays secure. The yard is cleaned daily so everyone has a clean space to enjoy. To help keep all guests healthy, I require proof of current Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccinations before boarding. You'll also receive updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet's stay because I know how much it means to see your furry family member having fun while you're away. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they're on vacation while you have peace of mind knowing they're loved and cared for.
About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.
About: I’ve always been around dogs. Since I was born until now! Its ranged from doberman, beagle, to now german Shepard. Im qualified to care for any dog no matter the size! I work full time currently BUT I do work from home so I would not mind a little friend by my side! I’ll make sure they’re fed and with enough water. We can schedule walks since I also need some breaks throughout the day! My yard is not fenced yet. I have one cat! so it will be me, Hallee and your cute pup!(and maybe a friend sometimes). I do not mind going out with them for a walk(s) throughout the day at all! I would love to have your dog get all the sniffs he can get from the neighborhood!(safely of course!)

“Thoroughly pleased with the dog sitting services provided. Communication was open and it seems my little guy had an amazing time!! 10/10 I highly recommend!!!”
“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Merrell was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet puppy Luna!!!! I highly recommend her. She was wonderful at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures every day! We will definitely have her watch Luna in the future! She went above and beyond and took wonderful care of our little girl! I could tell she had a blast hanging out! Thank you so much! ?”
“Lindsey was great with Zippo! Sent lots of pictures and genuinely seemed to enjoy having my dog around while I was away. Would definitely board with her again.”
“Cory and his family are very attentive when caring for our pup. After finding him on Rover, it’s now easy to go away for an overnight or weeklong trip. We never have to worry if our pup is lonely or having a great time. Cory always sends photo updates on how things are going. Looking forward to booking Cory’s services again.”
“I was in need of a last minute sitter for my big boy buddy. This was Buddies second stay there. Kendra's response was quick and professional. I found everything neat and in order. (Important to me) Buddy immediately ran into her house like they were old friends, Not common behavior for him.He knows when I am getting ready to leave him I was pleased that he was so comfortable there. The care was exceptional. Thank Kendra”
“Nothing but positives...I consider my dog high maintenance but Susan and her husband charmed her into good behavior and even socializing with other dogs. I got updates and pictures everyday. They really enjoy dogs and understand every dog has its quirks. I'll definitely use them again.”
“Great person and very personable. Nontombe did a great job with our Lilo. Kept us posted via pictures and videos about her wellbeing. Nontombe has the ideal setting for our Lilo with a huge backyard for running and playing. She took the time to play with and walk her. Lilo loves her ball and Nontombe took the time to toss it for her allowing her to fetch. Very satisfied with her service. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Lexi has stayed with Debbie on multiple occasions since 2017. Debbie is an awesome caregiver! I appreciate the updates and photos that Debbie gives during each stay. Lexi has had some anxiety issues since she was a puppy, and Debbie knows exactly how to work with her. Because of Debbie's knowledge and careful observations of Lexi's behavior, she helped me get Lexi placed with a sitter in a different location when I had a family funeral out of town. The new sitter would usually require dogs to have a temperament test before a stay, but with Debbie's input, I was able to find care for Lexi during the funeral. I truly appreciate Debbie's help and professionalism! I'm very glad I found her on Rover.”
“This was our first time using Rover and having someone outside of our family keep our fur baby. Lyndsay and her MIL were the perfect sitters. Lyndsay kept us updated with photos each day which eased our mind. When we returned our pooch was shiny from a bath, playful and I'm not sure if he was ready to go home. She also has a very pet-friendly home, a small dog that is very sociable with other dogs and she will work with clients on any special needs their pets have. I would highly recommend Lindsay as a pet sitter.”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“Ashley was great! Lots of pictures and regular communication. She was so patient with my older dogs and made sure there were happy and comfortable. We appreciated her and her family opening their home for our pups!”
“Yentl is an absolutely great choice if you're looking for someone caring and compassionate to entrust your fur baby too! Sage is in love with Yentl and her family! I received daily updates, pictures, and videos, so I knew she was in great hands! Sage was excited to see Yentl when she was dropped off! That let's me know she is loved when she is there ♥️.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Lexie with Stoney Horse Acres. From the moment we dropped off our Chloe , it was clear that they truly love and understand animals. They took amazing care of Chloe sending regular updates and photos so we could relax knowing our pup was happy and safe. When we picked her up, Chloe was calm, and clearly well-loved. The facilities were comfortable, and it’s obvious that Lexie goes above and beyond to make each dog feel at home. We’ll absolutely be coming back next time we travel — highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
