“My first time using rover with my pit bull mix puppy. Very good communication and sent lots of pictures to me of him playing! Would recommend her for your pup. Backyard is made for dogs!”
“Kennel was clean, spacious and the yard was well kept. Our small dogs felt comfortable with yard and explored immediately on arrival. Jeanne was prompt with responses and sending updates. Will book again.”
“Our three dogs stayed with Amanda and her family for ten days and had a great time. Plenty of play time outdoors with Amanda’s dogs and children. All three came home tired but happy. Amanda was flexible in terms of scheduling and attentive to our dogs needs. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable leaving pups with her and hope to book with Amanda again next time we travel. An A+++ experience from start to finish.”
“Laetitia is AMAZING! Very warm and friendly and took great care of my baby while I was away. My girl Gemma felt right at home and she came home very happy. Definitely recommend her for your dogs care!!”
“Another great stay with Jamie and Alec! They are really great about sending pics to calm my fraying dog-dad nerves! Frankie really seems to enjoy the experience as well.”
“Kristi and her family were amazing watching our 2 dogs when our Boarder closed about a month before our travel. She sent pictures and videos daily that our kids looked forward to. Our dogs were in a much better place than boarding because they didn't spend half a day in a cage and got to play with their own dog. They loved our dogs like their own. We will absolutely book again, not only for the peace of mind, but it was evident the dogs loved it there too. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is Awesome!!! My pooch loved his stay with Jennifer and the other pups that were in her care. Jennifer also provided great photos of Barkley in play and napping. Jennifer is very sweet and thoughtful. I was surprised to see my little man had a nice haircut and smelling fresh. He was already falling asleep on the car ride home b/c of his fun filled weekend. We will definitely book with Jennifer again.”
“Michelle took such great care of our two dogs. Our big mutt is kinda weird with other dogs & needs someone to care for him who understands his body language and nuisances. Michelle was incredibly qualified for Rip’a “weirdness.” She sent several pictures and checked in frequently. She also had great advice for training and information I should look into to better care for Rip. If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable caregiver, look no further! Michelle is wonderful.”
“Absolutely 5 stars for Chelsea! She was a lifesaver, stepping in to watch our dog for a weekend with very little notice. Chelsea went above and beyond by offering to meet early to introduce the dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, showing how much care and attention our pup was getting. It was clear our dog was pampered and treated like one of her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Chelsea to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Juliet took great care of my Shih Tzu mix, Dali! From the very beginning, she was excellent at communicating and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Dali could meet her dogs, and she was very attentive throughout the whole process. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Dali’s needs and routine so she could care for him the best way possible. During his stay, she constantly sent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight got delayed and I ended up picking Dali up an hour later than planned. When I picked him up, he looked very happy and well cared for. She also cared for our other dog, and we had a great experience as well. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! I 100% recommend her — she is amazing!”
“Definitely recommend Jennifer for our dog! She kept us up to date with our dogs stay including numerous photos! We never had to worry what he was doing at any time! She was very prompt responding! You never had to ask for an update because Jennifer was already messaging us to tell us he’s doing great. I will definitely use Jennifer for the future for another stay! Please use Jennifer for the care of our pets visit! We couldn’t be happier!”
“The absolute best… hands down!!! We are so grateful to have found a permanent sitter for our fur baby. Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy. Until next time !”
“My boy is almost 12 and I have never left him with a stranger. I was new to the process and didn't have any idea of what was going on and I wasn't very keen on the idea of having to leave him with a stranger. Fortunately, Kristin was very responsive and kind about the whole thing, which was very reassuring. I got picture updates daily and even videos. The neighborhood was very nice, her home was clean and organized, she had a fenced in yard, twin boys which I am sure my dog loved to be around, and the a sweet weiner dog. My dog has specific feeding and meds, which she accommodated. I didn't want him to be alone when I was gone and picking Kristin was perfect.”
“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog is 10 years old and has been sick so he’s on several medications twice a day and Sarah took wonderful care of him. I was incredibly anxious about leaving him and she provided daily updates and pictures that showed he was in great hands. We picked him up and he was perfectly happy and seemed to have had a great time with Sarah and her family! Would absolutely recommend and would love for Sarah to watch any of our pets in the future!”
“Absolutely phenomenal! This was one of the best rover experiences we have ever had. She was so amazing with the dogs but even more than that Amanda was beyond helpful and kind with handling our wonky weekend with changing plans. She sent photos of the doggies throughout the stay and was great with updating us over the weekend. Could not recommend enough!”
“Rebecca took amazing care of our two dogs for 7 or 8 days. She kept us so Informed, and made sure they got lots of love, playtime and even a bath! I can’t recommend her enough. We will Be using her every time now.”

“Anna was great. She kept me updated each day and sent pictures of both my kitties. I will definitely have her watch Luna and Caramel next time I go out of town. It’s great to know my girls have someone caring to visit them when I’m not here.”
“Saffron was a great communicator and took extra good care of all my cats while I was gone. I had full confidence from the initial meet and greet and was not disappointed. 10/10 would recommend Saffron to watch your furry family.”
“The best evidence of an excellent cat sitter for a very social kitty, is when she would prefer to sit in her window (which had been closed) then curl up with you. Josh did that. 2 x daily visits with brushes, play, litter, food and treats was plenty for my girl (who I was concerned about leaving due to her separation anxiety). Turns out, it was just me ;-) Thank you Josh!”
“Savannah was amazing checking on my two cats! I could tell from the pictures that they liked her and were happy to see her when she dropped in. Would definitely book again in the future :)”
“Alex took awesome care of our 3 kitty siblings. We felt very comfortable being away with Alex stopping in. She sent us daily pictures and played with the brothers. Even their super shy sister came out of hiding on day 3. Will definitely hire Alex again.”
“Brandy is wonderful! She takes great care of our kitties and our house. She always takes the time to lay eyes on the cats and interact with them when she comes over, and she updates us on how they are doing (my kids love seeing her daily pictures of them). We have had her sit for us 3 times now. It is such a blessing to know that our kitties are well cared for while we are away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter!!”
“First time using Rover, and absolutely happy that I found Lauren to take care of my cats. Lauren was super friendly and responsive, will be using her service again in the future!”
“Jabrae did an excellent job taking care of Ginger. Litter boxes were clean, food and water bowls full, and most importantly Ginger recieved her Insulin shots on time twice a day. She was sure to keep us informed on her progress and sent us a picture of Ginger when she was there. I highly recommend Jabrae for taking care of any pet!”
“Zoe provided fantastic care for our two kitties while we were away. One of our cats requires medications twice daily and Zoe had no problems doing that for her. She loved on our girls like they were her own and the photos she sent of them looking so happy gave us great peace of mind.”
“Gillian was so kind and loving to Jafar while we were away. Not only was she responsive and adaptable, she sent tons of photos and detailed notes so we felt like he was in good hands. Thanks so much Gillian!”
“Alyssa is an amazing sitter and I will continue to book with her whenever I need care for my two cats. She is the best with communicating and takes great pictures. Very trustworthy and will always keep your animals safe and happy!”
“Jennifer was perfect! This was my first time using Rover and she ensured everything was done correctly and even came by to meet Zeep and ensure she knew where everything was before the actual visit. Her reports were very thorough and included Zeep’s behavior and mood as well as routine items. She will be the first person I look at when I need a Rover sitter in the future :)”
“Lizzy was an amazing sitter!!! She provided consistent updates with pictures and asked the right questions when needed. We will definitely ask Lizzy to watch our kitties again in the future! She also played with them and the kitties clearly loved her :)”
“I went looking for a Rover sitter very early in the morning and she had already updated when she was available. That alone convinced me to book her. The meet and greet went well and I knew that she would take great care of my babies. She is simply the best. My "vampire kitty" looked well cared for in the pictures she sent me. Next time I need a sitter, Mya will be my choice.”
“Dawn is great! very friendly and approachable. she's very flexible too. I originally got the dates wrong and she had no problem rescheduling for the correct dates. she even offered me half off the rate that Rover initially suggested. Will 100% be booking her again!”
About: I have had cats myself for 6 years (since I moved out in my own) and have found my passion- caring for them! I am personally obsessed with my two cats and have plenty of more love to share! I love all cats with their own lil personalities and quirks! My favorite is finding out their favorite type of play and cuddle!
“Kelley is awesome! Our little scardy cat actually made several appearances when she came over and he almost always hides. She provided several pictures and I know she took fantastic care of them while I was away. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies!”

“Marina took great care of our dogs and was a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive, always gave us updates, and our dogs were very comfortable at her home.”
“They did an awesome job. Truly appreciate the amount of pictures and updates. And most importantly the customer service. Cant wait to book with them again!”
“Oreo had the BEST time! He usually is very antisocial and is scared of other dogs, but he had made friends with Cleo (Lizzy's dog). He also comes back from doggy daycares stressed and overwhelmed, but he seemed so refreshed and happy when he came back:) Would definitely recommend Lizzy as the best dogsitter!”
“Chris and Molly are very responsive. They took wonderful care of our Roscoe while we took a day trip into Savannah. They took him for walks every couple hours, played fetch with the ball, and gave treats for being a good boy. It’s nice to know we will have someone to trust with our sweet boy when we come back to town. Thank you, Chris and Molly! We will be a return customer in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past two years and truly enjoy building trust with each one. I have experience walking, feeding, playing, and providing basic care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to follow routines and instructions closely so pet parents can feel confident their dog is in good hands. I am home seven days a week since I attend school online. Even when I need to run errands, I am usually gone for no more than two hours at a time. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, attention, and care. When I am not home, my wife is also available to help care for the pets, so they are never left alone for long. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every dog in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. I closely follow each pet’s routine, instructions, and any special needs provided by the owner. Dogs are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and treated with patience and respect so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for my friends for 3 years and I’ve been a dog dad for almost 2 years. I’ve had my dog since he was a puppy so I’m used to all the puppy energy. I’ve also watched elderly dogs and am happy to give them all the snuggles. I work from home so I’ll always be around to take care of your dog. I’m available to take them out for potty and play with them several times throughout the day. I have a fenced back yard to keep the dogs contained. Otherwise the dogs are welcome to hang with us in the living room and they have free range on our furniture. I’m happy to crate your dogs whenever as well in one of our spare bedrooms.
“Alec & Jamie are great! Our pooch "Greta" had a great time at daycare with them. I know because she was exhausted when she arrived home. Alec is very accommodating and easy going. He appears to have a loving touch as well. They also communicated well during the day w/ comments and pictures. We look forward to our next visit as does "Greta". Thank you guys for all that you do with a smile! Andrew S.”

About: Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home. 1 Family at a Time: I only accept one client family at a time so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. This setup works especially well for puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who simply do better with a calmer environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Boarding & Doggy daycare: Doggy day care pickup is by 5 PM. If pickup is needed after 5 PM, please book boarding instead so I can properly accommodate your pup's evening and overnight care routine. Boarding Requirements: To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, I currently only accept: • Dogs that are reasonably potty trained • Friendly dogs that do well around people and other dogs • Dogs that are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention Because I provide care in my personal home, I may not be the best fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, or frequent indoor accidents.
“We are very pleased with Monzerrath and our dogs who are very attached to us and suffer when we are away had a great time and took their first visit with her much better than we expected. Her place is nice with a beautiful view and yard. We are very thankful she watched our two dogs, and we plan to repeat it soon. We would highly recommend her!”
About: Hey! I’m Kristin 🩷 a stay-at-home mom and a lifelong Lowcountry local, CofC grad, and a big-time animal lover! I live in Summers Corner in Summerville, SC with my husband, twin boys, and our dachshund weenie. We have a fully fenced-in yard, lots of room to play, and a cozy environment perfect for dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your needs. References are always available if you’d like to chat with other happy pet parents! Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or just a sunny spot to nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 💛 As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family! I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that means scheduled feedings, regular potty breaks, walks, medication, or downtime. We have a fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor play, and a senior dachshund who is gentle and used to sharing his space. I never leave pets unattended for long and always pay close attention to each animal’s comfort, energy level, and needs. I have experience with crate-trained dogs, senior pets, and puppies, and I adjust my care to match what each pet needs, whether it’s more activity, quiet time, or a little extra patience. I also provide plenty of updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, reliable, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: I’m very big pet lover, grew up on a farm in maine. I just moved to south carolina not to long ago with my boyfriend and our dog and two cats! I’m free every day of the week, except for wednesday and thursday. but if needed i can fit you in, i can do weekends also! I have a fenced in yard for my pup, my two cats are indoor cats. My animals are my baby’s and i will treat yours just the same as i would my own.
About: I absolutely adore pups of every size and personality! At home, I have a Shih Tzu, a Dalmatian (we thought he was a Lab until we did DNA testing!), and a sweet little Chihuahua. Each one is so different, but together they make the perfect pack. All of my dogs came from tough beginnings, but their resilience and ability to love inspires me every day. Giving them a safe, happy, and loving home has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I would treat your pets just like my own—keeping them safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making sure their needs are fully met, I’ll make sure your furry family members feel right at home. I’m a proud pet parent to three wonderful rescue pups, and I honestly couldn’t love them more. Watching them learn how to simply be dogs—to play, to trust, to feel safe and loved—has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. They give me just as much joy as I give them. Our pack has a well-loved routine: breakfast and dinner together (with Otis getting his pill at each meal). Since I work from home, two of the pups usually “work” alongside me—though Ollie prefers lots of days off. Their work ethic may be questionable, but their company is unmatched! Ozzie, on the other hand, takes his role as head of security very seriously, keeping a close watch from the front window. At home, the dogs are always by my side, whether it’s keeping me company during the day or snuggling at night. They sleep in bed, lounge on the furniture, and honestly think of me as part of the furniture too—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and unconditional love—values I carry into caring for every dog I meet.Each dog is unique, and I happily adjust to their needs. From carrying Ollie up and down stairs, up and down from the couch to giving him stroller walks so he can keep up, I make sure every pup feels included. I’ll give your dog the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Our home has three friendly pups—Ozzie is the biggest at just 45 lbs! Yard is fully fenced and secure yard, but I always go outside with them to ensure safety. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture, but I’m happy to follow your preferences if you’d like your littles to stick to their own cozy spots. At home, we keep things relaxed and let the pups be themselves. We always keep fresh water available (three bowls downstairs that I’m constantly refilling!). If I’m dropping by to care for your pets, you can count on me to be prompt, respectful, and to show them the same love and attention I give my own. Keeping dogs safe is a top priority for me—I know the worry of even imagining a lost pet, and I’ll always make sure yours are secure. Beyond that, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or even having a “deep conversation” with them. After all, they always have the best listening ears.
“Rebecca is awesome. We can relax knowing that our dog is in caring hands when we can’t be around him. He needs regular medication and she never misses a dose. We are so thankful that we found her!”

About: With years of professional dog walking and sitting experience, I’ve cared for all manner of canines. I can handle puppies as well as senior citizens and love spending time with them giving love and getting exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to leave periodically throughout the day to care for pets. Please be aware prior to booking that my daughter (10 months old as of April 2025) comes with me on my walks and drop ins. She rides in a backpack carrier and does not come out of it, but only request a booking with me if you and your pet and comfortable with that. I have been entrusted with clients’ homes for years and am confident and able to abide by your requests and needs. I act with respect when allowed access to a client’s home and take care to honor their wishes regarding their animals and household.
“Wonderful sitter! Would highly recommend. She was personable, responsive, and took great care of my babies. She also took care of my plants on short notice. Will definitely rebook her again and would recommend for all of your dog sitting needs.”
“Chelsea is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, consistently communicative, and great with our dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she was taking care of our dogs during a very rainy week, but she did a great job drying them off and making sure they got out there (even if they didn’t want to go out!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, when I got my first Siberian Husky. She had epilepsy, so I gave her daily medication and learned how to support her needs with love and care. Since then, dogs have been a part of my daily life. I love going on walks and playing with them. I also have a Maltese, so I’m experienced with both large and small breeds. Recently, My first dog passed away, and my other pup has been a bit lonely. We would truly welcome a new furry friend to share some fun and companionship. I’m a full time dog mom currently so I’m home most of the time, aside from caring for my own dogs and occasional outings, so I’m very flexible and available almost any day. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to spend time with yours whenever you need help! I live in a two story home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and safety. I have two dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, both neutered and up to date on rabies vaccines. They’re very friendly and love meeting other dogs! If your pup prefers quiet time, I can easily separate them into different rooms. Please feel free to text me with details about your dog. I’d love to get to know them!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, birds, and reptiles, including my bearded dragon, who I’ve owned and cared for for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I have also raised 3 children over the last 22 years. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your needs. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and also have experience with rabbits, birds, and my bearded dragon of over 10 years. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home as if it were my own, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, administering basic medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs.
“Wendy has been a great help to our household and great with our dog Bailey! She was willing to do a little meet and greet with her beforehand which was important for us! Bailey took to her right away and I know she loves her walks!”
“Jennifer's care and management of our girls, Fiona the pittie, and Fiona, the African Grey, is superb. She has extensive and practical experience in the care of many species, and applies her knowledge to our girls. She has taken initiative to help Fiona (and me) to work on Fiona leash manners, and is cultivating a relationship with Wanda. Jennifer is prompt and takes your input seriously. I highly recommend her.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother served on the board of a Jack Russell rescue — which meant at least three of them running around at any given time. My first dog as an adult was Molly, a border collie who never met a person she didn't like. Every dog I've cared for since has gotten that same love and attention. When it comes to housesitting, I treat every home like my own. I bring in the mail, water the plants, vary the lights, take out the trash, and send regular photos and updates so you can truly relax. You come home to exactly what you left — sometimes with a very happy pet (or two or three...) at the door. My availability is genuinely flexible — some weeks I'm fully available, others I'm part-time, so I always recommend checking my calendar for current openings. What stays consistent is my commitment: when I'm with your pet, I am fully present and fully focused. I work around your schedule, your pet's routine, and whatever your family needs. I provide care exclusively in your home — because that's where your pet is most comfortable, and comfort matters. I believe the safest pet is an attentive one, so I give every animal in my care my complete attention. Your home is treated with the same respect I'd give my own, and your pet's routine, quirks, and needs are taken seriously from day one. In rare emergency situations, I am able to bring your pet into my home for overnight care, so they are never left without a loving hand. You won't have to wonder if everything is okay — I'll make sure you know.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 years old. I’ve had golden retrievers ever since I can remember I am experiencing in giving daily insulin shots as well as I had a diabetic golden. I’m currently retired and looking for something to do that is meaningful to me. I find as I get older I like a lot of animals more than people.

“Saffron did amazing! She sent photos with each check-in and even made me aware of some possible health issues that should be brought to my vets attention. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: We have two spoiled pups, as well as two cats, one who is 10 and my other baby isn't even one yet! I have many years of experience caring for all types of animals, and I have always had a passion for fostering whenever I have the chance.💛 I love all pets as my own, and I have truly never met an animal that I didn't love! I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have lot's of time to play with your fur babies:) I am very reliable and easygoing, and I have a very open and flexible schedule as well! I always do my best to make all pets comfortable and loved!! I am a super clean and organized person and I always make sure to leave everything better than I found it. I hope to love your pets like my own!
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since a very early age. I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and i’ve loved watching and playing with other dogs ever since! I currently do pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule! I make sure to follow all the instructions, so the pet isn’t off of its schedule. I really try to spend the first few days getting close with the pets, that way they feel totally comfortable with me!

“My first time using rover with my pit bull mix puppy. Very good communication and sent lots of pictures to me of him playing! Would recommend her for your pup. Backyard is made for dogs!”
“Our three dogs stayed with Amanda and her family for ten days and had a great time. Plenty of play time outdoors with Amanda’s dogs and children. All three came home tired but happy. Amanda was flexible in terms of scheduling and attentive to our dogs needs. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable leaving pups with her and hope to book with Amanda again next time we travel. An A+++ experience from start to finish.”
“Laetitia is AMAZING! Very warm and friendly and took great care of my baby while I was away. My girl Gemma felt right at home and she came home very happy. Definitely recommend her for your dogs care!!”
“Another great stay with Jamie and Alec! They are really great about sending pics to calm my fraying dog-dad nerves! Frankie really seems to enjoy the experience as well.”
“Kristi and her family were amazing watching our 2 dogs when our Boarder closed about a month before our travel. She sent pictures and videos daily that our kids looked forward to. Our dogs were in a much better place than boarding because they didn't spend half a day in a cage and got to play with their own dog. They loved our dogs like their own. We will absolutely book again, not only for the peace of mind, but it was evident the dogs loved it there too. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle took such great care of our two dogs. Our big mutt is kinda weird with other dogs & needs someone to care for him who understands his body language and nuisances. Michelle was incredibly qualified for Rip’a “weirdness.” She sent several pictures and checked in frequently. She also had great advice for training and information I should look into to better care for Rip. If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable caregiver, look no further! Michelle is wonderful.”
“Absolutely 5 stars for Chelsea! She was a lifesaver, stepping in to watch our dog for a weekend with very little notice. Chelsea went above and beyond by offering to meet early to introduce the dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, showing how much care and attention our pup was getting. It was clear our dog was pampered and treated like one of her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Chelsea to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Juliet took great care of my Shih Tzu mix, Dali! From the very beginning, she was excellent at communicating and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Dali could meet her dogs, and she was very attentive throughout the whole process. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Dali’s needs and routine so she could care for him the best way possible. During his stay, she constantly sent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight got delayed and I ended up picking Dali up an hour later than planned. When I picked him up, he looked very happy and well cared for. She also cared for our other dog, and we had a great experience as well. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! I 100% recommend her — she is amazing!”
“Definitely recommend Jennifer for our dog! She kept us up to date with our dogs stay including numerous photos! We never had to worry what he was doing at any time! She was very prompt responding! You never had to ask for an update because Jennifer was already messaging us to tell us he’s doing great. I will definitely use Jennifer for the future for another stay! Please use Jennifer for the care of our pets visit! We couldn’t be happier!”
“The absolute best… hands down!!! We are so grateful to have found a permanent sitter for our fur baby. Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy. Until next time !”
“My boy is almost 12 and I have never left him with a stranger. I was new to the process and didn't have any idea of what was going on and I wasn't very keen on the idea of having to leave him with a stranger. Fortunately, Kristin was very responsive and kind about the whole thing, which was very reassuring. I got picture updates daily and even videos. The neighborhood was very nice, her home was clean and organized, she had a fenced in yard, twin boys which I am sure my dog loved to be around, and the a sweet weiner dog. My dog has specific feeding and meds, which she accommodated. I didn't want him to be alone when I was gone and picking Kristin was perfect.”
“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog is 10 years old and has been sick so he’s on several medications twice a day and Sarah took wonderful care of him. I was incredibly anxious about leaving him and she provided daily updates and pictures that showed he was in great hands. We picked him up and he was perfectly happy and seemed to have had a great time with Sarah and her family! Would absolutely recommend and would love for Sarah to watch any of our pets in the future!”
“Absolutely phenomenal! This was one of the best rover experiences we have ever had. She was so amazing with the dogs but even more than that Amanda was beyond helpful and kind with handling our wonky weekend with changing plans. She sent photos of the doggies throughout the stay and was great with updating us over the weekend. Could not recommend enough!”
“Rebecca took amazing care of our two dogs for 7 or 8 days. She kept us so Informed, and made sure they got lots of love, playtime and even a bath! I can’t recommend her enough. We will Be using her every time now.”
“Lea always takes the best care of Charlotte, and Charlotte always have so much fun with Luna and Cooper. We love here so much and will be returning! Always 100% recommend!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Stephen and Jessica. We couldn’t be happier and would use them again tomorrow if needed. Cork always has a great time playing with their dogs. They take him on walks and he is always tired when we come pick him up. Even though Cork has some interesting behaviors, Stephen and Jessica have gone with the flow and have been very understanding.”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic!! We boarded our large breed dog, Dutch, with her for over a week while out of town and had an amazing vacation knowing that our pup was being loved and cared for like her own. We loved getting the frequent updates and pictures showing he was having a blast, and Megan always communicated quickly and was extremely flexible with scheduling our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be trusting her with our pup again, 10/10 seriously cannot recommend her enough!!”
“We had a great experience with our Manik while they watched Simba and River. I really appreciated the updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my dogs were having lots of fun and getting plenty of love and attention. It was clear they were well cared for. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
