“I like bringing Sidekick here because I can tell she has a great time. She gets plenty of time to play outdoors and plenty of care and attention from Alyssa and her family. Coordinating drop off/pick up is easy too.”
“I can't tell you how happy we are to have found Carri on Rover! Our shy, nervous rescue loved his experience with Carri! He was so well taken care of and had a blast. Carri sent pictures and videos and gave us updates on how he was doing. We were so impressed. My husband and I kept saying, "it was like our dog was at summer camp". We had such peace of mind knowing he was with her, that we were able to completely enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Wow! Adrienne was just so amazing for our babies. Our pups looked happy to be there with her. Adrienne was so communicative about our babies and sending pictures without having to ask (this made the difference). We really feel comfortable while we were away from them. Also, she was of huge help since we had some last minute changes to our stay and she was able to accommodate us. We definitely recommend her 100% and we would love to book her again in the future. Thank you so much Adrienne!!”
“Tyler was awesome. He has a great place and I could tell my dog would be well taken care of. My puppy greeted him like a long lost owner, I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come back home with me. Lol. I was given photos and updates and I honestly just did not worry one bit the entire time Tyler had my pup. I am relieved that there is a trusted person to leave my pup with in the future should I need a dog sitter again.”
“Our dog have a good time there. She really has knowledge of dogs, and she will be looking at your dog uniqness and treat accordingly. She is Perfect!!! Look no more, Charity is the best!!!”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Misty took great care of Luna! I received updates on how she was doing along with pictures, which helped to put my mind at ease and I know my girl had a great time. We will definitely request with Misty for our next trip.”
“Gabbi and Justin did such a fantastic job watching our pup! They were so sweet and and took care of her like she was their own. The updates and pictures gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious that Dove was very well loved while she was with them. We're happy to have found such great sitters for our girl! 😊”
“I was nervous about this. Leaving your fur baby with someone you don't really know. Well, I am beyond pleased. Robert and his family took wonderful care of our girl. They treated her like their own. I received updates daily. We will definitely have them keep our girl the next time we need a sitter for her.”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, and I’ve owned pets my entire life. I also worked at Dolly Parton’s Stampede, where I cared for and worked around horses and other animals daily, giving me hands-on experience in a professional animal care environment. In addition, I have experience as a veterinary technician, where I assisted with handling animals, monitoring their health, administering medications under veterinary supervision, and helping keep pets comfortable during visits. I’ve also studied animal health and care through school, which has given me a strong understanding of pet behavior, safety, and basic medical needs. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work for myself, which allows me to create a flexible schedule and provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Because I have control over my hours, I can often accommodate last-minute requests, extended visits, and consistent routines. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by providing dependable, compassionate care and keeping you updated every step of the way. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience as a veterinary technician and years of working with animals, I know how to recognize changes in behavior, safely administer medications if needed, and provide calm, compassionate care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can expect plenty of love, attention, exercise, and photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.
“Edward and Margarette (grace), were SO AMAZING. They sent pictures and detailed updates everyday and cared for my dog like she was their own. Every time I go out of town now, I will be seeing if they’re available! They’re so friendly and welcoming. My dog is shy around new people but she loved them so much and was cuddling them every night! 10/10 recommend.”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”
“She was amazing! I needed someone last minute and she was able to take Piper on short notice and was very responsive. She also sent me over a dozen photos a day. Definitely could enjoy my trip worry free knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely will use Cindy again!”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”

“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”
“Alyssa again took great care of Yue!!! She sent wonderfully detailed updates with pictures each day! Alyssa, thank you for helping us to have a purrrfectly relaxing vacation knowing Yue was in great hands! We will book again with you for the next trip!”
About: While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats through pet sitting. Since 2020, I’ve helped care for cats during overnight stays and visits, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and following each cat’s individual routine. I’ve also spent time around cats in multi-pet households, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities—from social and playful to more independent or shy cats. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and respecting their boundaries, and I work to create a calm, stress-free environment while their owners are away.
About: Let me help you get it back! I have 3 sweet girls right now, and wouldn’t know life without them. I trim their nails, clean their ear canals, and give them sanitary trims/wipes. I have been raised around cats, and have helped a mother deliver her 11 kittens… that just so happened to be on my birthday, best gift ever… so I am quite familiar with medical care, and overall boundaries when it comes to making your babies feel comfortable. My girls have never known a “spook” before so I can assure you it will be my goal to keep your angels as comfortable as possible while you are away!
“Autumn took such good care of our two senior cats and was incredibly respectful of of home. She was quick to respond and left us notes daily about how they were getting on. She followed our instructions to a tee which allowed me to relax and know they were in great hands. Do not hesitate to trust her with the care of your pets. We will absolutely ask her back in the future.”
“Sophie is wonderful! She is very organized, patient, and a great communicator. She took care of my 3 cats, all with different temperaments. She made sure they had food, water, treats, a clean litter box, and played with them. 10/10 would hire again and would reccomend.”
About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.
“I had to go out of town because of an emergency and Ashley visit my dog Luna, that's a very timid, nervous dog during all 4 days and she was really great taking care of her. Highly recommended!”
“Taylor was amazing! She was so attentive and went above and beyond. She treated our kiddos like they were her own. I was so worried to leave them behind but I felt 100% comfortable the entire time away from them because she did such a fine job.”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and I could not have been more pleased with the service or our sitter, Theresa. Charlie is currently undergoing medical treatment for a condition which required someone with experience. Theresa's knowledge was spot-on and I left our dog confident he was in excellent hands. It's obvious Theresa was a huge hit with Charlie because upon our return, he was slightly disappointed it was not his new friend walking through the door!”
About: I have taken care of cats all my life! Specifically, for the last 10 years, I have been a foster for kittens who were born as strays, until they were old enough to be fixed, then taken to other states (with better laws and regulations to protect animals) to find their forever homes through rescues!

“Carri is just amazing! She was very understanding of my anxious dog with separation anxiety and made dropping him off a breeze. Would def recommend and will rebook again in the future. She even sent my Hershey home with a mini dog care bag. She goes above and beyond and you can really tell that she cares for the dogs.”
“Charlie loved his time with Parker. He looked so content the entire car ride back. Parker was very communicative leading up to Charlie’s stay and during. I think Charlie enjoyed sniffing around the fenced in yard and exploring with other pups.”

About: 🐐 The Pet & Farm Nanny: Constant Care & Custom Visits 🐾 Hi y’all! I’m Ariel. I offer a unique "Nanny" experience for your pets, whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home. I recently moved to Lebanon and love providing the reliable, heart-centered care that every animal deserves—from senior dogs needing meds to hobby farms needing a helping hand. How I can help: • At My Home (The "Workday" Companion): Since I work from home (10 AM – 7 PM), your pet will never be alone! I offer a cozy, attentive environment in my apartment for smaller dogs or cats who love constant human company. • At Your Home (Mornings & Weekends): I am available for early morning walks, drop-in feedings, and farm chores (milking goats, feeding horses, collecting eggs). I also offer Overnight House Sitting on weekends to keep your pets in their familiar routine! • Specialized Care: I am fully comfortable with senior pet care and administering oral medications. My Commitment to You: I stay within a 15-20 mile radius of Lebanon to ensure I’m always close by. You can expect high-quality communication, plenty of photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing a "Nanny" is looking after your family. Note: Due to my apartment setting, I am unable to offer puppy training/boarding, but I’m a pro at cuddles and routine! As a project coordinator working from home (10 AM – 7 PM), I’m the ultimate full-time companion! Your pet will have my company all day long while I’m at my desk. For house calls, walks, and farm chores, I’m an early bird and a weekend warrior! I’m available for drop-ins and farm visits before 9:30 AM or after 7:30 PM on weekdays, with completely open availability on Saturdays and Sundays for longer visits or weekend house-sitting. Safety is my top priority! When pets stay with me in my apartment, they enjoy a calm, pet-proofed environment with plenty of cozy spots to nap near my workspace. I’m a pro at maintaining strict routines, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule or administering essential medications for senior pets. I am an avid walker, so if your pup is with me, we will get plenty of exercise. When I’m at your home or farm, I’m hyper-vigilant about double-checking gate latches, ensuring fresh water troughs are full, and keeping a 'Nanny’s eye' on everything to make sure your home is as secure as your pets are happy!

About: I've taken care of animals starting from a young age. I love animals and enjoy having them around and caring for them. Animals are a significant part of my everyday life. I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have two children who love animals but are also good with boundaries considering these pets will be in an unfamiliar environment. I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.
“Adrienne did a great job watching our two puppies! She was easy to communicate with and worked with us when we had car trouble and couldn’t pick them up when scheduled. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine was great! Communicated really well. Not only did she accept with less than 24hrs notice but was also incredibly flexible when I shifted my pick up time several times.”
“Yuliana took care of my baby for 2 times during the day for doggie daycare. I knew she was trust worthy when my fur baby was so excited to come and see her again. She responded fast and gave photo updates. Will definitely book with her again when in town!”

His daily schedule is eating supplements, vitamins, and his food once in the morning and once at night. He takes 1-2 hour daily trips to the Dog Park, and well as receiving constant affection and love. Your dog deserves the same treatment.
About: I've had 4 dogs in total. I got 3 right now, I love when it comes to taking care of them like brushing or giving them their supplements. All my dogs have different personalities, I would love to meet yours. I work almost full time, but I would love to spend time with pets on my free time. I am available 5 days a week maybe some weekends too. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs who love meeting other dogs. All my dogs are fixed so no worry and they get fed 2 big meals. Inside the house it is small but cozy enough for the dog.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have provided pet sitting services for family and friends since 2020. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, recognizing behavioral cues, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for every dog. I currently care for my own dog, Tessa, and have experience with dogs of varying ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My hands-on experience includes caring for large and independent breeds such as German Shepherd/Akita mixes and Shiba Inus. Through regular pet sitting, I’ve become comfortable managing multi-dog households, administering feeding schedules, reinforcing established training routines, and providing enrichment through play, walks, and positive interactions. I’ve also lived with multiple dogs throughout college, giving me extensive experience adapting to different personalities, obedience levels, and exercise needs. I have experience supporting basic training, including house training, crate training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement techniques. Whether your dog is highly active, prefers a slower pace, or needs consistency with an existing routine, I strive to provide dependable care that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I’m used to planning my routine around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m currently a student in a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) program, which has strengthened my time management skills and attention to detail. I have clinical rotations on Mondays and Tuesdays and classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8–10 a.m., so I’m generally available most afternoons, evenings, Fridays, and many weekends with advance notice. I only accept bookings that fit comfortably within my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any training cues or household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and collars before going outside and make sure pets are supervised during playtime and interactions with other animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take time to build trust at their pace—whether they need extra playtime, a calm environment, or a little extra patience. As an MLT student, I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.
About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: I started working with animals about 2 1/2 years ago for a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've had dogs my entire life. I currently have a German shepherd mix and 2 cats. My schedule recently is super flexible, so I am able to work around many specific hours. The only times I would most like to keep open is weekends. I have dog sat in others homes many times. I take the dog on walks, potty, play time, and if wanted cuddle time! I also clean up any mess made by myself or the dog and do cleaning when I see needed. I’m very good at keeping on schedule with pets so whatever needs they have I can fulfill that!
About: I am an absolute dog lover! I recently lost my pit bull Ruby from old age a couple of months ago so I’ve started going over to my sister’s apartment to let her black lab Charlie out to walk everyday! And, it’s helping me not miss my baby as much! I am so loving towards dogs and treat them with the utmost care:) I have had rocky who was a chow mixed with golden retriever and he passed away at 20 from old age. He was my best friend I got when I was 2. Then when my grandpa passed away I got Ruby who was a pit bull and she was my best friend who passed away from old age and a tumor at 18. I loved on them everyday, walked them daily, played with them daily, and the occasional pup cups were necessary. Every dog that comes in my path absolutely loves me and I love them too. They really are angels for us to have on this earth. I am trying I find a way to pay off student debt flexibly with my schedule of music ministering at prisons, high schools, addiction facilities, and leading worship at youth services. I am very intuitive of pets when they are around me so Im able to make sure they are happy and safe. I love giving them love on top of love. I also am very careful with older dogs or dogs with disability and treat them with the upmost patience and gentleness they deserve.
About: Growing up we always kept animals in the house, I’ve had at least one pet since I was 6 years old, cats, dogs, fish, frogs, I love them all!! My #1 concern is your pets safety, and their happiness! I’m a very early riser, usually up at about 5-6am every morning, so I can be available for super early walks/potty breaks. I have a very flexible work from home schedule and can leave at any point so I can work around your schedule! I have a hands free leash that I always bring with me. I can use that primarily, or both leashes. Safety is priority! No one expects accidents to happen but I like to be as prepared as possible.
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.
About: I have been taking care of different pets throughout my childhood as well as recently with several dog walking, and sitting experiences. My families house has several cats and dogs so I know my experience with them will be useful for other pets I sit. I am currently working part time but my job hours are flexible so I am able to switch around if offers come up last minute I have a fenced backyard to allow the dog maximum space to roam. I am not uptight on keeping them off couches due to me having hand me downs but will respect and follow any guidelines the parents have
About: Hello! I have owned all kind of animals throughout my entire life, including rabits, fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I’m a college student studying Biology Pre-Vet. I’ve also had previous dog walking and sitting experience as a Wag! Walker. I think that I have a true calling with pets. When I was just about 11 years old I would walk and care for my neighbors dog that was a huge Mastiff, and never thought anything of it. My mom always tells that story to people of how she almost had a heart attack when she saw my little self walking this giant dog. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes! I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend as well!
About: I’ve farm and dog sitted for numerous people. I live in a farm. I have experience in livestock, poultry, equine, and dogs/cats. 10 years experience I have boer goats at my house. So I feed and water them twice a day! My pug niko I feed her during the day as well I have a fenced in area at my house. I have a dog kennel fully enclosed. The house is smoke free and hypoallergenic! Very safe environment!
About: With growing up around animals my whole life, pet sitting is nothing new to me. I have been provided the opportunity to pet sit for families, friends, and neighbors my whole life. I provide my own transportation, that allows me the opportunity to feed, walk, and play with your dogs. 😊 I’m a full time pet sitter, so I devote my time working and playing with your fur babies. I am available to do stop bys, pick up and drop offs, and I can do in home sitting and overnight, since pet sitting is my full time job. I have a fenced in yard, that provides your fur babies the option to run around and play. We have around 2 acres of land, so plenty of room for them to play and potty. If I am at your house, I will keep your pets safe by having them on a leash, and watching them outside. I can crate your pets at nighttime, so it eliminates them getting out and escaping.

“I like bringing Sidekick here because I can tell she has a great time. She gets plenty of time to play outdoors and plenty of care and attention from Alyssa and her family. Coordinating drop off/pick up is easy too.”
“I can't tell you how happy we are to have found Carri on Rover! Our shy, nervous rescue loved his experience with Carri! He was so well taken care of and had a blast. Carri sent pictures and videos and gave us updates on how he was doing. We were so impressed. My husband and I kept saying, "it was like our dog was at summer camp". We had such peace of mind knowing he was with her, that we were able to completely enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Wow! Adrienne was just so amazing for our babies. Our pups looked happy to be there with her. Adrienne was so communicative about our babies and sending pictures without having to ask (this made the difference). We really feel comfortable while we were away from them. Also, she was of huge help since we had some last minute changes to our stay and she was able to accommodate us. We definitely recommend her 100% and we would love to book her again in the future. Thank you so much Adrienne!!”
“Tyler was awesome. He has a great place and I could tell my dog would be well taken care of. My puppy greeted him like a long lost owner, I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come back home with me. Lol. I was given photos and updates and I honestly just did not worry one bit the entire time Tyler had my pup. I am relieved that there is a trusted person to leave my pup with in the future should I need a dog sitter again.”
“Our dog have a good time there. She really has knowledge of dogs, and she will be looking at your dog uniqness and treat accordingly. She is Perfect!!! Look no more, Charity is the best!!!”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”
“She was amazing! I needed someone last minute and she was able to take Piper on short notice and was very responsive. She also sent me over a dozen photos a day. Definitely could enjoy my trip worry free knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely will use Cindy again!”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“It didn’t take 30 seconds of meeting Regina to know that Murphy was going to be in good hands. We loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would 100% use Regina’s services again.”
“Kayla & Trevor were great with Hershey. Hershey is 13 1/2 years old and blind and they allowed her run of the house as if she were one of their pets. Will definitely use again should the need arise.”
“Haley has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She is dependable, caring, and truly treats our dog like her own. We especially appreciate her flexibility and willingness to accommodate schedule changes — it gives us so much peace of mind. She keeps us updated and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“Patti and family gave our Tenby much love and care while we were away on family business. She was able to extend his stay when we were suddenly required out of town longer than we thought. Patti kept us updated with photos and reassurance that all was fine. Thank you Patti for helping us when we needed it most!”
