“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 !!”
“Excellent communication, made sure to let us know how our boy was doing and if something was wrong. She helped our boy when he had loose bowels and got him feeling better ! She loves our boy and I’m sure he loves her !”
“I have nothing but good things to stay about Samantha. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. We met beforehand and saw she has plenty of space for the dogs and a great backyard for them to run and play. She regularly sent updates on our pup and he had such a great time. She was flexible and always pleasant. We definitely plan to use Samantha again in the future!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive and caring, and kept me updated with lots of cute pictures. She has a giant backyard and a great neighborhood for long walks. Her dogs are gentle and fantastically well trained. If my pup could talk, I’m sure he’d tell me he had a great time with Rachel and can’t wait to go back ☺️”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“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!”
“We love Whitney! She’s such an amazing sitter. Asher always has a great time. She always makes sure the pups mesh well together and will try her best to accommodate where she can. 5 stars every single time.”
“This is Reggie’s second time staying with Jennica. And we are so happy to have found her! She clearly loves dogs and gives our fur ball love and attention. She provides constant updates and stays on top of communication. We really appreciate her services!”
“Mel is an amazing dog sitter!! My puppies came back super happy and excited to see her again. Plenty of updates and pictures/videos!! Cannot wait to book with her 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!”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Donna did such a great job taking care of my little kitty boy Sebastian while we had flooring done in our home. Thank you so much Donna for your kindness and I will definitely be in contact in the future when I need a trusted person to care for my pet.”
“Poria did an amazing job taking care of my baby over the weekend. She provided daily updates to include picture of Chapo having fun with other fur babies. I highly recommend her services as she will not disappoint! Thanks again Portia, I definitely will be reaching out again for your services in the near future!”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Parker! Payton took amazing care of him while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Parker was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares for the pets she watches. Payton will definitely be my go-to from now on!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Maisie loves going to Jessica's house. She walks right in and gets settled! (Which is such a relief when your dog can be nervous!) This visit she stayed for over a week and I wasn't sure she would want to come home with me after all the sunbathing and dog TV that she got. 🥰 But no worries. She's already back on my couch "resting her eyes."”

“Michelle made being away from home an absolute breeze, I usually leave my cats with friends for the weekend but I just moved and haven’t been able to find anyone I know. Grateful for someone that was able to provide me with updates and check in on anything needed each visit. The communication was great and I hope to be able to have her check in on my pets anytime I’m out of town!”
“We were going on our first weeklong trip since adopting our cats, and we felt a bit anxious. Thankfully, Kelsey was incredible! She showered our cats with love and kept us updated on how they were doing. This reassurance allowed us to fully enjoy our time away, knowing that our girls were in good hands.”
“Katie provided great care for my kitties! It was really comforting to read her reports and see photos from each visit. Katie followed directions, was very responsible, and was great at communicating and asking questions. I would definitely hire Katie again if she’s available!”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have 2 females who I love dearly. I’m experience in medication administration and senior cat care from one of my kitties who passed last December. I will scoop your littler box, play with them and pet/cuddle them if they allow it. My cats are the queens of my house- I’d love to meet yours!
“Amanda was phenomenal with our cat Moose she checked in on him as promised and filled out a report card daily with pictures. She followed instructions and made sure that our feeder and camera were set each night. We will definitely will be using her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Our grouchy old man loves Samantha and she always is such a pleasure to work with! She gives me the peace of mind knowing he’s checked on while we are gone and gives him treats and pets and the undivided attention that he deserves. The pictures are great and Samantha is just so dang good at what she does. Win/win in my book!”
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
About: Our 2-acre property has a fenced yard for constantly-available playtime and direct access to Hitchcock Woods for the dogs who love to hike! We have a high energy dog, two cats, and a toddler who looooves to pet and play with animals, so party pets only! We work from home with Fridays off every week. Our dog takes at least one long walk a day with plenty of play time outside if weather allows. In order to keep your pet exercised and happy, we expect good leash behavior and the ability to respond to basic commands- or at least be able to listen to "no" to make all of our lives less stressful! We lavish all our boarders with the same attention, snuggles, and exercise-balanced treats that our pets love. Since our cats have been part of the family the longest, your dog will need to be able to refrain from chasing them, so they can enjoy all their usual nap spots. While we love a guest, the safety and happiness of our full time residents is non-negotiable. We crate for sleeping so your pet can have a "home base" and not get up to trouble in an unfamiliar environment. We are happy to share Rascal's food, but if your dog has a sensitive stomach or a special diet, then they will need to bring their own food. We also expect them to arrive with their own leash, collar (with ID tag), crate or carrier for sleeping, and any toys, blankets, or other comfort items that smell like home to relax them and set them up for success during their stay with us. We can't wait to love on your pet!
About: I've cared for cats from kittens to senior. As well as cats with medical issues. I love the company of cats and getting to know their personalities. When I can make a cat feel loved and cared for, my heart overflows. I especially love senior cats, as I wish for them to know they are loved in their twilight years.
“Haley provided amazing service! My two cats received the care and attention they needed. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and provided great updates while I was out of town which was comforting. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. I would HIGHLY recommend Haley and her pet sitting services to all my friends with furry people.”

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)!
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Wonderful caregiver, our dog was very happy. Laura was understanding and flexible with last minute changes for drop off. Laura is a truly wonderful and caring individual, we would love to book again.”
“Payton did such an amazing job taking care of my baby Cally! My pup was so happy from the first moment she walked into her house. I feel completely comfortable knowing she is watching her. She kept me updated through out the day and even send me pictures. Highly recommended!”
“Miss Ronda is the absolute BEST!!! My baby loved her and she loved him back! She kept me updated and made sure I felt safe and secure with her watching him for a weekend stay! Trixie was also a sweetheart!! BOOK MISS RONDA!💕”
About: Hello! I’ve been a dog sitter for over 12 years now. From assisting with the birth of puppies and kittens, to helping our older babies get out of their bed, and holding their paw while they take their last breaths, I’ve done it all. I truly have a passion for animals and want to provide them with the best life possible. After all, they are our best friends! I have experience with epileptic, pregnant and in heat, sick, physically disabled, and as I mentioned, new borns and older dogs! I have a very open schedule! I’m free in the mornings, nights, middle of the day, and on weekends. whenever you need me, I’m here! I never let the dogs out without a leash at my house, no matter how experienced they are with the area or how well they listen. Their safety is my biggest priority. Let me know your preferences and guidelines to follow!
About: I love love love canines. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own 🥰 I’m very active and love to entertain animals. I have experience with both small & large breeds. I've been an animal lover since childhood. My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but I decided on taking a different path and served in The Military for 20 years. I’ve had the unique experience of breeding Boxers for a few years. As a breeder I have cared for newborn puppies, deworming, administering shots, and potty training them until eventually finding them forever homes. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur baby and set their minds at ease until you return. I am retired and I’m ready to start a hobby that I will love. Please let me know any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration and I can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am currently unemployed and lots of free time to spend with your fur baby. I like to take walks and would love the extra company. I have a huge fenced in yard. I can crate your fur baby only if it is necessary. There is a separate space fenced in in my backyard if needed.
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: HI!! My name is Quyon but i go by Q ! Im 27 years old and i live in aiken South Carolina. I have completed the Veterinary Assistant Course at Aiken Technical College and completed 102 CEU Credits interning at The Ark Animal Hospital and Wagner Veterinary Clinic. To care for anything living is truly remarkable but to love and care for animals is the greatest reward! Right next to face licks and fury hugs! I was introduced to rover from a friend when i needed a sitter and i decided that since im in a position to offer help i will. Feel free to ask me anything im as cool as a cucumber lol maybe a bad joke lol I am currently not working at the moment due to just completing school and wanting a break. This offers me a way to make money and still include the care and compassion i will use in my future endeavors. I live in a spacious apartment. I have no problem taking them to a fenced animal park or for a walk through the neighborhood to enjoy so fresh air and new views
About: I have always had a passion for loving and caring for animals. I am working on a change of career and want to earn extra income and hope to slowly transition to being able to do more through Rover. I have grown up with animals and have cared for everything from a duck to a horse. My grandparents owned a farm and I took care of and trained the horses and also caref for the dog and cats on the farm. I also have fostered through the Humane Society to help dogs and cats find their furever home. I can't wait to get to know your fur baby and help you with their care and everyday life. I love walking around at parks and certain trails. I can stay in the neighborhood, as well, if preferred. Let me know if they have a favorite treat or particular way they like to walk or play. I am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old who loves all animals. This will give her the opportunity to socialize with more animals. This will also provide more opportunities to teach her responsibility through watching how I care for animals. I usually check the pets water and food, if asked. I give medicine the ones who need it. For dogs, I usually include a short walk so they can potty or let them out into their yard. For cats, I’ll try to engage in play for a little bit so they can get some exercise in, as well.
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.
“Natalie was great! I brought my dog for daycare multiple days per week for 4 weeks and she was well cared for. Natalie was responsive and very kind. I will book her again if I need doggie daycare again.”
“Hillary was great. My dogs had a good day and came home tired. They got to run and play ball. She even cut their nails which they never let me do but let her. She is great with them.”

If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: I've raised and trained dogs most of my life from puppy care to seniors, as well as animals with medical issues. I was a breeder of Gordon Setters for many years.

I prefer to meet your pets before the first appointment, so that I can see their environment and be familiar with their daily routine in order to best care for them.
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals- dogs, cats, bunnies, fish - pretty much everything! ☺️ After college I adopted my first pup- Harley, a miniature pinscher. He was my baby!! Over the years, my husband and I rescued 3 more min pins: Rudy, Gatsby and Lulu. They were the most fantastic little kiddos and our whole life for many years! Unfortunately we just lost our youngest, Lulu. This was the last of our pups to go over the past 6 years. It’s been really difficult saying goodbye to all of them and we need to take a break before we bring a new pup home. However, we are huge pet people and we really miss having a 4 legged friend around. So, we’d love to be able to love and care for your fur baby while you’re away!! I work from home so will be able to spend a ton of time with your baby. We have a good size fenced in yard and we love taking walks. So there will be plenty of outside time. I do have 2 little girls- 7 and 3 years old. They have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love them! So as long as your dog is good with kiddos we are great 😊 I work from home so have plenty of availability throughout the day. I have 2 young kiddos that are in daycare/elementary school. So other than dinner/bedtime and a few evening activities we’re around. We have a good size backyard with 8 ft fence. We can crate your fur baby if needed or we have baby/dog gates and could leave him/her in a larger space if preferred if we’re gone. During the day, your pup can hang in my office while I work if they prefer ☺️
About: I'm Emily and I may or may or not be the worlds biggest animal lover! I grew up on a ranch in Texas and here in South Carolina working with and taking care of all types of animals, from bunnies to pheasants, pigs to horses. If it has legs and a cute furry face I have probably bottle fed it and raised it! I have fond memories of bottle feeding a pack rat in my teens and no my parents were not pleased =) I once bottle fed a litter of 5 kittens from birth, they all thrived and it was an amazing experience. I completed 7 years in the US Navy and for the past few years I have been mom Emily to my 3 boys. You CAN trust your house and pets with me. I currently have a flexible schedule! We can find a solution to your needs. My 3 cats are grumpy and persnickety, trust me, they wont miss me=) I am not currently watching any dogs or cats in my home, aforementioned 3 cats would be displeased BUT I can provide excellent care in clients homes.
“Jennifer is great! She’s professional, reliable, and my puppy loved her. She confidently handled my large, energetic puppy for daily walks and was very patient with her. I will use her again!”

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 grown up around Animals my whole life and currently have a mini farm. I’m experienced with almost every type of animals including bunnies, reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and live stock and have been house sitting since I was 13. I am a huge advocate for animal assisted therapy and am currently attending college to get my degree in order to bring animals into my work as a psychologist. I’ve taken care of plenty of animal emergencies and even revived dying chickens. I’m not scared of getting dirty or anything else that comes with with taking care of your animals. I also enjoy sending picture updates whenever I can so the owners know what is going on with their pet. I would love to come watch your fur babies for you! I am currently in school three days a week and for only a few hours on those days, the rest of my time is free. I prefer to follow a daily check list of general tasks, then I play with them and their favorite toys or just give them company depending on your pets needs.
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide more than just pet sitting, and I create a loving, comfortable environment where dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family returns. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean and safe, follow any special instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“Lily was remarkable. She was always on time. Report cards were always filled out, pictures provided. She always worked with me to change things up on how to give the dogs their walks, etc., with very little notice, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Excellent communication, made sure to let us know how our boy was doing and if something was wrong. She helped our boy when he had loose bowels and got him feeling better ! She loves our boy and I’m sure he loves her !”
“I have nothing but good things to stay about Samantha. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. We met beforehand and saw she has plenty of space for the dogs and a great backyard for them to run and play. She regularly sent updates on our pup and he had such a great time. She was flexible and always pleasant. We definitely plan to use Samantha again in the future!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive and caring, and kept me updated with lots of cute pictures. She has a giant backyard and a great neighborhood for long walks. Her dogs are gentle and fantastically well trained. If my pup could talk, I’m sure he’d tell me he had a great time with Rachel and can’t wait to go back ☺️”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“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!”
“We love Whitney! She’s such an amazing sitter. Asher always has a great time. She always makes sure the pups mesh well together and will try her best to accommodate where she can. 5 stars every single time.”
“Mel is an amazing dog sitter!! My puppies came back super happy and excited to see her again. Plenty of updates and pictures/videos!! Cannot wait to book with her 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!”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“Leanna was so wonderful with our girl. She went above and beyond accommodating us when it was MY fault for messing up which day I would be returning and added on an extra day to my reservation. We loved that we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along well. Her young daughters were so incredibly sweet to Tahlia and apparently had a great time with her. While Tahlia has love children in the past, she is older and hasn’t been around a lot of kids in a number of years. Leanna was great making sure Tahlia felt loved by her sweet girls but also making sure Tahlia wasn’t overwhelmed. Her yard was a perfect heaven for Tahlia and I’m sure she had lots of new things to smell and see. Leanna did great to make sure I felt updated and I felt super secure leaving Tahlia with her and the girls.”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Parker! Payton took amazing care of him while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Parker was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares for the pets she watches. Payton will definitely be my go-to from now on!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Maisie loves going to Jessica's house. She walks right in and gets settled! (Which is such a relief when your dog can be nervous!) This visit she stayed for over a week and I wasn't sure she would want to come home with me after all the sunbathing and dog TV that she got. 🥰 But no worries. She's already back on my couch "resting her eyes."”
“Terry has watched out 1 1/2 year old German Shepard twice now (one of which was for 3 overnights). We were able to bring him a few days in advance so that we and Hank could get comfortable with the new settings. He has also been able to play with others dogs. Terry also sends an update twice a day with pictures so we can be reassured that he is comfortable, safe and having fun.”
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
“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!”
“Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.”
