“Excellent communication and flexible with my drop off/pick up time changes. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Victoria. She sent lots of pictures and videos. Tucker was pooped when he got home! He slept through the night and was still lazy the next day. Thank you so much for treating Tucker as part of the family! I’m sure he’ll be happy when he goes again next month.”
“Christy took wonderful care of our girls while we were out of town for a long weekend. I was nervous as it was our first time using a dog sitter but she was so easy to work with it put my nerves to ease. We got daily pictures/ updates and they were so happy when we arrived for pick up. They were definitely very well loved and cared for while with Christy.”
“Angie made us feel so comfortable leaving our new puppy with someone. She has great experience with puppies and did a fantastic job keeping up with all the hard work of training.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dogs received from Lisa! They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. Lisa made sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention — even making sure they got a quick walk after the rain. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt totally at ease while I was away. I’d absolutely trust her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Kortney was amazing. She tooksuch great care of my handsome boy over the few days he stayed with her that he was sad to leave her. I'm absolutely going to plan play dates with her and definitely rebook. I received pictures, video, and updates about him. I was very happy with her and her service.”
“Huri was absolutely amazing with my little Nelly! She made sure that Nelly was well socialized, active, and loved. I also got some lovely picture updates on Nelly during her stay.”
“Lavar & Amber took such great care of our rambunctious 15-week old puppy. They kept us informed on his visit and sent plenty of photos to ensure he was well taken care of! Would highly recommend booking them!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Christopher. He was an absolute hero—stepping in on super short notice (less than 24 hours!) to take care of my pup, Benji. His communication was wonderful from the start, keeping me updated and making sure I felt completely at ease.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Alexis was great! She is very laid back and was totally reassuring, since we were nervous, first time puppy parents. Our 4 month old golden retriever had the best time! I think he even learned crate training from Alexis and Finn! I see why they're always booked - great experience! ”
“This was our puppies first time staying overnight withMelissa. She was there three nights. Everything went well. Melissa was great as usual and sent us pictures and video of Maya while we were away. So grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“Turbo had the best time with Matt & Candice. They always take such good care of him! I am very thankful I am able to leave him with someone I trust!”

“Carly went above and beyond with every little detail while watching our very timid kitty. She sends detailed notes, photos every time she visits and works with your schedule. And she always make sure to at least put eyes on your animals if they are known to be one that like to hide (like ours) and will patiently wait until she finds them. Carly was so helpful and flexible in working with our schedule while we were gone. For example, we decided we wanted to have Carly come twice a day instead of once a day and she quickly got back to me and let me know that she was able to do this and the times that she could come! We will definitely be utilizing Carly again in the future and are so thankful we found her !!”
“Emily has been great checking in on our cat daily while we were gone on vacation! Our cat isn’t very social with strangers, but I’m sure she still appreciated having someone coming to the house each day. It was reassuring for us as well knowing Tilly had fresh food and water each day! We highly recommend Emily and plan to have her do drop in visits for Tilly again in the future!”
“We had an emergency situation a messaged Austin. He dropped everything Christmas Day and went to our house to feed, water and check on our fur babies. He sent updates and pictures every day and was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend Austin with the highest rating.”
“Tammy came by to feed the cats and change their litter boxes while we were away. She was great with the cats, and very respectful of our home while we were away. She did a great job! We would not hesitate to hire her again.”

You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.

I sent an inquiry at 8:30 the night before, and Alexis responded within a couple of minutes! She was also great at reporting in and sending photos. My pup was well cared for and had a wonderful time playing with their darling young son and sweet dog. Big thanks to Alexis and her terrific family!!”

In addition to my personal experience, I have over two years of professional pet care experience, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and administering specific care and medical instructions. I am comfortable working with both low-energy and high-energy dogs, and I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, as I am off work at 2 p.m. each day and have the remainder of my day available to dedicate to walking or caring for your pet. In addition, I have 3 full days off each week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Just as I do with my own pet, I carefully monitor the environment to ensure there are no potential hazards, such as unsafe objects, foods, or items that could cause harm. My goal is to provide a secure, comfortable, and caring environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. Whether we’re playing, building trust, or simply sharing space, I find every interaction rewarding!
About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life, and growing up my father was a dog trainer so have lots of experience in dog care and training. I also worked in veterinary medicine for 6 years and have lots of veterinary knowledge. I worked in an emergency clinic for over a year and would be able to handle any emergency that could occur. I also have experience with puppies and with senior/special needs animal care. I have pets of my own and always love taking them on walks and would love to be able to do that for other peoples pets as well. I have a very open schedule as long as I know in advance. I am free most days and have very open availability through the day. I always try and learn what the pet(s) are used to and attempt to emulate that. Pets can be protective in their home so I always try and make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 7 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!
“Alesha is my pups other mother. Sake is almost 17, so she needs extra reassurance that she is safe since her eyesight is fading. Alesha walks my dog regularly, but also stepped in as mom for two months last year when I was on a place every 4 days. Her love and compassion is why she is my go to person to take care of my best friend. Knowing that you have someone to love your pet as much as you do is important. I can travel for work knowing that Sake is in good hands.”
About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life. Had mostly larger breed dogs. Two Weimaraner‘s, a black lab, and a Rottweiler. Had a cat for about 10 years growing up. My son has a Great Pyrenees that I went with him to pick up when he was only two months old and he is now a year and a half. I walk my sons dog two times a day at minimum while he is working. I do travel some, but otherwise I will be home. Retired and ready to walk. I always wash, and clean water bowls, food bowls when adding new food. Put on calming music for the dog as well to ease them.

“Excellent communication and flexible with my drop off/pick up time changes. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Victoria. She sent lots of pictures and videos. Tucker was pooped when he got home! He slept through the night and was still lazy the next day. Thank you so much for treating Tucker as part of the family! I’m sure he’ll be happy when he goes again next month.”
“Christy took wonderful care of our girls while we were out of town for a long weekend. I was nervous as it was our first time using a dog sitter but she was so easy to work with it put my nerves to ease. We got daily pictures/ updates and they were so happy when we arrived for pick up. They were definitely very well loved and cared for while with Christy.”
“Angie made us feel so comfortable leaving our new puppy with someone. She has great experience with puppies and did a fantastic job keeping up with all the hard work of training.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dogs received from Lisa! They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. Lisa made sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention — even making sure they got a quick walk after the rain. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt totally at ease while I was away. I’d absolutely trust her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Kortney was amazing. She tooksuch great care of my handsome boy over the few days he stayed with her that he was sad to leave her. I'm absolutely going to plan play dates with her and definitely rebook. I received pictures, video, and updates about him. I was very happy with her and her service.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Christopher. He was an absolute hero—stepping in on super short notice (less than 24 hours!) to take care of my pup, Benji. His communication was wonderful from the start, keeping me updated and making sure I felt completely at ease.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Alexis was great! She is very laid back and was totally reassuring, since we were nervous, first time puppy parents. Our 4 month old golden retriever had the best time! I think he even learned crate training from Alexis and Finn! I see why they're always booked - great experience! ”
“Turbo had the best time with Matt & Candice. They always take such good care of him! I am very thankful I am able to leave him with someone I trust!”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“Sarah and Kevin took great care Ruby! While she was excited to see me, she's sad to have left their home and large fenced in yard that let her sniff to hearts content. I would not hesitate to book with them again.”
“Amazing host! Serenity was incredibly caring and patient with both my dog and me. My 2-year-old Maltipoo, Chase, stayed with her for over a month, and she considered all my requests and Chase’s requirements during his long stay. Serenity kept us updated with pictures and messages, making us feel close to our furry baby even when we were apart. Highly recommend Serenity for your furry baby!”
“Madison did a great job with maisy on a long stay! She sent lots of pics and maisy loved snuggling with her. Maisy got sick during the stay and Madison took care of everything. This is especially helpful because I was out of the country and couldn’t be reached.”
About: I’m a homeowner with a huge fenced in backyard. I WFH so potty breaks and play time is not a problem. I have a 70lb golden retriever who loves to play. I take my own dog for a minimum of two walks a day. Most days I get out three or four times. I have a huge fenced in backyard for in between walks. I have a very sweet 5 year old golden who loves other dogs. I have experimented caring for super young all the way to end of life care for senior dogs.
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
