“Amanda was a great sitter for my pup! I have used her several times in the last several months, and my dog always looks comfortable and happy. She is incredibly quick to respond and is super friendly. She has a fabulous large yard and clean and comfortable home for the dogs. And her two dogs are friendly and wonderful housemates 😊”
“Brian is amazing. We brought him rowdy who is a puppy and into everything and still learning and Brian sent pics every few hours and we felt so comfortable with him. We hadn't been able to get rowdy to go for a real walk and when we went to pick rowdy up,we got to see Brian and him doing a morning jog. He's truly amazing. If yall want someone reliable,loving,active and that you can trust with your baby let Brian watch them!!! He's great.”
“Anna was awesome. She provided pics of Koda and updates while I was away. (During a horrible snow storm at that). Easy communication and seemed like Koda had a great stay. 20/10 would recommend.”
“Jim was wonderful! He, his wife, and son took great care of our Turner, and updated us with pictures each day we were gone. They've got a big fenced back yard and a sweet dog, Daisy, that our dog loved to play with. Will definitely book again!”
“Pawlie has the best time at Sherri's. I know he is well cared for and loved when he's with her! Sherri sends pictures videos and lots of updates which are so wonderful and appreciated. Thank you Sherri for taking such good care of Pawlie!”
“Our pup is always in such good hands with Levirina! She sends lots of photos and videos, which was such a relief to see how happy our pup was with her while we were away.”
“Jim and family really took care of my Pyranees mix while I was away. It was his first time doing a sleepover with new people. They updated me with photos and are really flexible. They have a large fence in yard with children and other dogs. It is a great option for your pet to have a home away from home. I will definitely be coming back and recommend to anyone else looking for boarding.”
“We felt that Ross did great in keeping intermittant communication throughout Gunter's week-long stay; in providing photos, videos, and short update bursts. Ross is very pleasant and accommodating and Gunter clearly has developed an affinity for him. It's especially good for Gunter that Ross can care for a few dogs at a time, as he loves social interaction. We are already looking forward to planning our next excursion feeling that if Gunter can stay with Ross, we can be confident to press on with our adventure.”
“I recommend Robin to everyone. My dog unfortunately had a medical issue arise during her stay (from an underlying issue, not due to the stay), and Robin was excellent at communicating with me and caring for her until I made it home. Thank you Robin.”
“Our dog loves Ms. Stefanie!! We could tell Ellie was so loved and cared for by her. Her home/yard is so lovely and cozy, and her communication/pictures each day made us feel so assured that Ellie was having a great time! We are so thankful to have found this amazing dogsitter!”
“Lindsay and her family did a great job caring for our dog. I would recommend reaching out to Lindsay if you need a sitter. In the future, we won’t hesitate checking with Lindsay if we need a dog sitter.”
“Roy was so kind and easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable leaving my Bleu and Bella with him. I know my fur babies were well cared for with him. I would definitely use his services again. The location was very convenient for me to get to which is a huge plus!”
“Michelle and Bryce are THE BEST. We had very unusual circumstances of needing longer term care for our dog and cat and Michelle and Bryce have truly truly taken them in as their own. They have lavished them with love and affection, as well as taken care of all their specific needs and quirks. They are communicative, honest, encouraging and so so effusive about their love of our pets. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for them in this season of our lives. And I deeply respect how they walk through the world with care - for one another, for the animals, for us. Thank you Michelle and Bryce!”
“Jonathon did a great job taking care of Zeema. He communicated every night and Zeema seemed to be very comfortable with him. I will be calling Jonathon the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Rachael was phenomenal! I’m always hesitant to leave my dog with just anyone but Rachael eased any of my worries! She kept me updated while I was away and had great communication. The backyard is wonderful- Luna was very happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend :)”
“Caroline was great. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog Ginger stayed with someone she didn’t know. Ginger had a bit of anxiety which Caroline kept me updated on. She was great about sending pictures of my sweet girl. I appreciate Caroline helping me out in a pinch and taking care of our sweet girl.”

“Our travel plans ended up falling through but Kealy was so kind and understanding. She came out previous to our scheduled sitting to meet us and see the tasks. I will definitely contact her next time!!”
“Donna took wonderful care of my cat when I was gone for a week. She house-sat and everything was perfect when I got back! Very communicative and made sure my cat had plenty of company!”
About: I’ve had cats and been responsible for their care since I was a child, and they are some of my favorite animals in the world. I have a genuine understanding for the kind of patience and boundary-respecting that is required to gain a cat’s trust. I have years of experience cleaning litter boxes, wiping up throw-up, and playing with string toys! I would love to meet your cat and form a connection with them!

“Ms. India was very professional. She was able to take care of my cat every other day to make sure everything was fine. She understands any cat’s behaviors. She sent me a picture and notes as a report on every visit. I highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is over 25 years of experience caring for my own cats and others, ensuring I understand their needs intimately. I'm skilled at administering medications and take pride in maintaining a clean and fresh environment, so your cat can feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Gray was so incredible with our boys! They seemed so happy with her taking care of them and she sent the best photos and updates during our time away! We will definitely be booking her again for our boys during our next vacation! Thank you, Gray!!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring cat lover with experience handling everything from playful kittens to shy senior cats. I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for and I will closely follow any specific requests for feeding, litter, and medication routines.

“Levirina is hands down the best sitter we’ve found on Rover. Our dog Ted is super picky and isn’t the biggest fan of most people but Levirina did a tremendous job with Ted and he didn’t want to come home!”
“I'm new to the area and I'm glad I found Jim. He took great care of our 2 dogs. His fenced in backyard was a plus as my pups love to run free. I'll definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes. We have two black labs and a shepherd mix. We also have a cat and several aquatic creatures. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of free time to care for your pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m very detail-oriented and happy to follow your instructions for the best care for your pets. I love walking so happy to do neighborhood walks or hit the local hiking trails or dog parks.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them through every age, from puppy to senior. I am experienced with senior dogs and understand their special needs and more than happy to help how I can. I work from home, so I’m always with your dog when I have them over. This also allows me to be flexible for potty breaks and walks. I am also able to visit them in your home if needed during lunch hours or any time after 4pm. Weekends I am completely free. Any pets at my place are free to roam as they please. They can even lay on my bed if that’s cozy for them. I do not have a yard, but my apartments do have an area outside for me to take them on potty breaks. Very receptive to any instructions you may have.
“Roy was great with Fugee. My pup is pretty shy and anxious when meeting new folks but she took to Roy as soon as I opened the car door. He sent pictures throughout the day as well as updates. Roy was very responsive prior to Fugee’s daycare date. When I came to pick her up after work she was very relaxed. I’d recommend him to anyone!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I've cared for animals for as long as I can remember—from helping family and friends with their pets to raising my own dog. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else's care, which is why I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pup. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like one of my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, belly rubs, enrichment, or relaxing on the couch after an active day, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting, so I'll send regular photo and video updates along with messages about our adventures, walks, naps, meals, and all the tail wags in between. I live in a community with plenty of green space and walking paths, making it perfect for exercise and sniff-filled adventures. If your dog enjoys getting out and exploring, I'm also happy to visit local parks or dog-friendly trails (with your approval) to keep them active and engaged. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your dog a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be alone and will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. We start the morning with a walk, enjoy outdoor time and play breaks during the afternoon, and finish the day with another walk to burn off any remaining energy before settling in for the evening. I love spending time outside whenever I can, and if your dog enjoys adventures too, I'd be happy to bring them along on walks, park visits, or dog-friendly trails (with your permission). My flexible work schedule allows me to maintain your dog's routine, provide frequent potty breaks, and give them the companionship, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving attentive, personalized care all day long. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is a clean, pet-friendly environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel right at home. They'll have cozy places to rest, a variety of toys to keep them entertained, and—of course—plenty of love and the occasional treat (with your approval!). Your dog will also have a built-in companion during their stay. I have a calm, friendly, 5-year-old Lab mix named Jake who loves meeting new dogs and is great at helping them feel comfortable. I always introduce dogs thoughtfully and make sure everyone is getting along before allowing them to play together. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pup like family, providing a safe, loving environment where they can have fun, relax, and receive the same care and attention I'd want for my own dog.
“We did a meat and great prior to Our daycare. Sofia was great! Grayson Seemed to feel comfortable with her. Sofia was also great, asking questions and seem to really want to understand Grayson and his needs. Today was his first day care with Ms Sofia and he did great. He was a happy boy when I got back and did not look stressed out. We are happy to find Miss Sofia and will be returning very soon! Thank you Miss Sofia.😀🐾”
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have been in my life as long as I can remember. Pets are my passion and caring for them is my purpose. I’m currently based in Nashville and will be relocating to the Owensboro/Utica area in December. I’ll have availability for pet-care services in October and November, with more flexibility once I’m back in Kentucky. My home is located on approximately 50 acres in the beautiful countryside of Utica, offering pets plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. As I establish myself in the area, I’m excited to build lasting relationships with local pet parents and grow my pet-care services into a full-time business. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home. 🐾 I have a 2 year old, black pitbull mix, so his care is already at the center of all that I do. I live in an apartment, so frequent walks are vital to keep him exercised and entertained. We do have a small dog park in the complex. I love taking Lakota to Ellington Ag. Center because it backs right up to the complex and has great walking trails. His best friend’s name is Alfie who lives in the neighborhood and I take him a few days a week to my apartment and the little dog park here to play with Lakota. We also enjoy going to the Pitts Park dog park or Edwin Warner.
About: **Due to extreme heat this summer I will use my discretion with shortening walks for your dog’s health** Current work schedule: I go in office 3 days a week but I can possibly I can flex my days. Available for services with that in mind! I need at least a week for new clients to schedule a meet & greet! I do not accept daycare & boarding without one because I require our pets to meet ahead of time so we can assess if they would be a good fit together. Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.
About: Especially while I’m getting started, my biggest priority is giving each dog plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m not looking to have a house full of dogs — I’d rather really get to know each one, learn their personality and routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I’ve always loved dogs and really enjoy being around them, whether that means going for walks, playing outside, hanging out on the couch, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m active, healthy, and happy to give dogs plenty of playtime and attention, but I’m also a homebody, so I’m around a lot and genuinely enjoy having a dog in the house with me. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re the priority — with lots of walks, backyard time, playtime, snuggles, and just hanging out together. I really like the idea of this feeling more personal and individual than a high-volume boarding situation. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home the majority of the day. I’m an audio engineer and get to work with all kinds of cool music, but I’m very mindful of volume around animals — my home definitely isn’t a loud environment! I typically go to the gym Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings for about 2–3 hours. I also occasionally play hockey on Sunday or Monday evenings. On Saturdays I attend services at my Rabbi’s for around 2–3 hours, and occasionally there may be additional services for Jewish holidays. Most things I do outside the house only keep me away for a few hours, so I’m rarely gone for long stretches and can plan around the needs of the dogs staying with me. Otherwise, I’m honestly a big homebody and love spending time at home and outside in my fenced backyard. There’s plenty of room for dogs to stretch their legs, play, and hang out outside. I also enjoy walking around the neighborhood, and having a dog with me gives me an even better excuse to get outside. Between walks, backyard time, playtime, hanging around the house, and plenty of attention, having a dog here fits really naturally into my everyday life. I’m also happy to follow whatever feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine your dog is already comfortable with. 🐾 I want dogs staying with me to feel like they’re hanging out at a second home rather than being “boarded.” They’ll be able to spend time with me around the house, relax, play, go for neighborhood walks, and enjoy plenty of supervised time in my secure fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your dog is already used to, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, sleeping arrangements, crate routines, and any other preferences you have. I’ll always keep dogs leashed when we’re outside of my fenced yard, and I’d want to know ahead of time about any special behaviors, escape tendencies, anxieties, medications, or anything else that will help me keep them comfortable and safe. Especially while I’m getting started, I’d rather focus on giving a smaller number of dogs lots of individual attention than having a house full of dogs at once. I also think meeting beforehand whenever possible is a great way to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and that we’re a good fit. 🐾
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and had dogs since I was 6 years old! My husband and I have now raised our own puppy, Miles, from 9 weeks old, so we know the care and attention every pup deserves. We also are fortunate to have flexible routines and work from home full time so your pup gets all the care they need 24/7! We are also up to date on puppy training, can administer meds, and have both a paved walking trail and fenced backyard so your best friend gets a true home away from home with us! We work remote so I’m available for your pet with whatever they need! Typically, dogs will go out on walks and playtime 3-4 times a day to be sure their needs are met. I love caring for others dog like they are my own! I care deeply about your dogs safety and needs. Whether they like to cuddle on the couch or run and play, I’m happy to accommodate! And I have a fully fenced backyard and our own small fur baby who loves to play with other pups of all sizes!
About: Since i was a little girl i wanted a dog. Since my mom is scared of them from a past experience she had , i could never have one at my household . So, I had to resort to dog walking or always visit my friends who had dogs. I love walking them and taking care of them, since i can’t keep them at my own home. I’m an incredibly affectionate person, so you wouldn’t be worried about them receiving love and affection. I’ve been doing this for years back home and it’s something i look forward to doing here again!!! You can let me know if you have any special request or your dog has special needs. I’d love to spend time with your adorable baby! I am an early-bird, so I can walk your pets in the morning!! I also work really close to home so I can drop by a few times to walk your pet if needed! I care for pets by maintaining their normal routines and creating a calm, comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, litter or potty, medication, and playtime instructions closely, making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or basic grooming and cleanup. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, comfortable space with close supervision, regular feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I prioritize safety, monitor behavior and appetite, and communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and reassurance. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.
“She was an amazing sitter! Very attentive and will ask you questions to make the stay for your pup the best it can be. Sends you regular updates throughout the day. Definitely will use her again! 10/10”

“Emily went above and beyond for my dog! She was very easy to communicate with, responsible, and trustworthy. My dog absolutely adored spending time with Emily which put my mind at ease when I couldn't be home. I highly recommend her!”
“My dog loves walks with Corrie. Corrie is always prompt and reliable and the fact that my dog loves her makes me feel better leaving her in Corrie's care. I highly recommend Corrie!”
“Emily and her husband did a great job walking and letting out my dog while I was working! Great communication and I know my sweet girl was in great hands!”
About: Hey! If you have an active or athletic dog, you've found the right person. Growing up, my family and I raised two dogs from puppies to adults. I liked to take them hiking, running, swimming in the lake, and to the park regularly. I currently have a five year old treeing walker coonhound who I regularly walk and play enrichment activities with! I'm currently working part-time on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take your pups on adventures! Even if your dog is less active, we can still have a blast going for walks or playing at the park. Being dependable and trustworthy is important to me. I will love your dogs as if they were my own and follow any instructions you leave for me. Let me know if you have any specific requests!
About: Hi! I have had dogs most my life. My dog Rosco is a rescue and came to me with significant health issues and a few not-so-desirable behaviors. He's a healthy senior dog now and much more composed. We did lots of training and I even volunteered for a year with Nashville Dog Training Club in Beginner Obedience and Canine Good citizen classes. My schedule is very flexible. I am a part-time Children's Minister so my Sunday Mornings are booked but other than that I am very flexible. I live in a safe, pet- friendly apartment complex. We have a great dog park.. I'm also happy to come to your place if that is better for you.
About: Ive had pets growing up ever since I was 7 from cats to dogs to lizards and snakes. I care deeply about proper animal care. I am in Nashville from Monday to Thursday and free for walks and in home visits-(meds, feeding etc) weekends I am free for boarding 🦜 I have always been an advocate for the best possible care for animals and have been entrusted by many to take care of their pets.
About: (Returning in January 2027 for bookings!) As a lifetime dog and cat owner, dog walker at a local animal shelter, and puppy foster, I am extremely passionate about animal welfare and very experienced. I have cared for senior dogs, including our family’s beloved boxer-pitt mix who passed in May of 2025, and I currently help my mom wrangle her 120 pound Great Dane named Moose. I fostered puppies of all ages and sizes (and their mamas too on rare occasions) and am very comfortable with all the ups-and-downs of puppy ownership. All that to say, there is no age, size, or energy level range that I haven’t encountered! I don’t mind if your pup needs me to take them out at 3am to potty, needs food that requires 30 minutes of preparation beforehand, or has a medication routine that requires a lot of hiding things in peanut butter. It’s all standard protocol for me! I’d love to meet your pets and give you the peace of mind that they are deeply loved and cared for when they’re with me. I work full-time M-F 7am-4pm, but am able to work from home when needed. I would try to work from home as much as possible when scheduled to petsit, and on days where that is not possible, take half days. My job is thankfully very flexible! I am someone who would rather be overly-cautious to a sometimes ridiculous degree. I will take every precaution to keep your pet and home safe and in a comfortable environment. I am knowledgeable about the health and safety issues when it comes to young puppies and vaccinations/decreasing parvo risk. I value communication and would rather receive too much information about your pet and its routine than too little! Feel free to send me a ten page essay about your pets, their routine, and what steps you’d like me to take to keep them happy, safe, and healthy.
“Colin was early to pick up my dog for her walk. He was friendly and easygoing and quickly bonded with my dog. After their walk through the neighborhood, my dog did not want him to leave! Will definitely hire him again!”
“Ross was fantastic! He is so calm and chill and really supported our a high energy, anxious and sometimes reactive dog. Bosco responded really well to him and it has helped so much to have someone to get al his energy out when we are not able to. Would 100% recommend him and will utilize in the future.”
About: Ive taken care of my first dog since she walked up to me as a stray when I was 6 years old and I asked, “Can I keep her?” 30+ years later, I still occasionally ask, “Can I keep them?” I have basic medical skills, including vaccine administration and can give pills (even if someone likes to spit them out!). I can play, give walks, and have experience with senior dogs. I would love to help care for your beloved pets, too. 💕🐶 I currently work for myself so I can drop in on your schedule for walks or play time as needed! This flexibility fits your and your pet’s schedule. I’ve worked from home for the last 4 years so taking care of my own dog is a huge part of my day, making sure she gets tummy scratches, play time, pets and of course - treats.
About: I have always been around cats and dogs, I love taking care of my own pets but also of the people around me. I am a full time mom of 2 kids so I have a lot of time in my hands. I am available for walks and stays at my place. My dog Mora is very friendly with dogs and cats. I am also available for cat visits. I am an at home stay mom, so my day is generally around getting the kids ready for school and the I walk my dog. After I do things around the house and run errands if necessary. In the afternoon the house gets more noisy with the kids, who love animals too. I usually take the dogs out for an evening walk before the sun sets. I have a fenced backyard, my dog is not allowed upstairs, but sleeps in the living room. One of the cats is afraid of dogs and stays upstairs only and the other one comes and goes as he pleases. When I have another dog at the house I pay special attention to them avoiding any encounters with the cats until the feel comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and pets belonging to family and friends. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship I am currently not working so I am available at any time during the week before 6pm and weekends after 2pm. If any extra time is needed I am also happy to do that. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision.
“Cannot say enough great things about Jordan! She was very responsive, timely and even though our rescue pup is a little nervous around new people- Jordan was so great with her. She was very patient and gave us a lot of reassurance with every visit. She took our dog on long walks (she was always exhausted after) and gave her a lot of love- like she was one of her own. We would highly recommend Jordan!”
About: I’m a huge dog/pet girl and will treat yours like my own! My golden is almost seven but I’ve cared for animals long before that. I’ve been doing pet care in Nashville going on four years! I love getting to spend time with them and learn their personalities and routines! I am a registered nurse and have been caring for pets here in Nashville going on four years. My schedule is super flexible so I have plenty of time to help you! I have a golden retriever so I can only care for small dogs in my apartment. He would love going on walks with your pup if they are comfortable with that of course.

“Brian is amazing. We brought him rowdy who is a puppy and into everything and still learning and Brian sent pics every few hours and we felt so comfortable with him. We hadn't been able to get rowdy to go for a real walk and when we went to pick rowdy up,we got to see Brian and him doing a morning jog. He's truly amazing. If yall want someone reliable,loving,active and that you can trust with your baby let Brian watch them!!! He's great.”
“We felt that Ross did great in keeping intermittant communication throughout Gunter's week-long stay; in providing photos, videos, and short update bursts. Ross is very pleasant and accommodating and Gunter clearly has developed an affinity for him. It's especially good for Gunter that Ross can care for a few dogs at a time, as he loves social interaction. We are already looking forward to planning our next excursion feeling that if Gunter can stay with Ross, we can be confident to press on with our adventure.”
“I recommend Robin to everyone. My dog unfortunately had a medical issue arise during her stay (from an underlying issue, not due to the stay), and Robin was excellent at communicating with me and caring for her until I made it home. Thank you Robin.”
“Our dog loves Ms. Stefanie!! We could tell Ellie was so loved and cared for by her. Her home/yard is so lovely and cozy, and her communication/pictures each day made us feel so assured that Ellie was having a great time! We are so thankful to have found this amazing dogsitter!”
“Lindsay and her family did a great job caring for our dog. I would recommend reaching out to Lindsay if you need a sitter. In the future, we won’t hesitate checking with Lindsay if we need a dog sitter.”
“Roy was so kind and easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable leaving my Bleu and Bella with him. I know my fur babies were well cared for with him. I would definitely use his services again. The location was very convenient for me to get to which is a huge plus!”
“Michelle and Bryce are THE BEST. We had very unusual circumstances of needing longer term care for our dog and cat and Michelle and Bryce have truly truly taken them in as their own. They have lavished them with love and affection, as well as taken care of all their specific needs and quirks. They are communicative, honest, encouraging and so so effusive about their love of our pets. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for them in this season of our lives. And I deeply respect how they walk through the world with care - for one another, for the animals, for us. Thank you Michelle and Bryce!”
“Jonathon did a great job taking care of Zeema. He communicated every night and Zeema seemed to be very comfortable with him. I will be calling Jonathon the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Rachael was phenomenal! I’m always hesitant to leave my dog with just anyone but Rachael eased any of my worries! She kept me updated while I was away and had great communication. The backyard is wonderful- Luna was very happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend :)”
“Caroline was great. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog Ginger stayed with someone she didn’t know. Ginger had a bit of anxiety which Caroline kept me updated on. She was great about sending pictures of my sweet girl. I appreciate Caroline helping me out in a pinch and taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Justin was incredible with our dog when we went on our vacation. He was very responsive the entire time and took great care of her. He was extremely adaptable to add on an extra day when our flights were delayed. Highly recommend!”
“Klea was a great caretaker for Wilson! She has a puppy of her own and both dogs got along really well. Klea took good care of Wilson, and Wilson was clearly very comfortable with her. She provided lots of photos/updates and clearly communicated with me before, during, and after. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Lacey seems to have had the best time with Ritch and his family. She came home and went to bed without even finishing her dinner, which is rare. They sent a bunch of updates and pictures and were really flexible around drop off and pick up times which is always nice. The kids came by to say goodbye to Lacey on my way out when I picked her up, which was incredibly cute. Would happily drop lacey off with Ritch in the future!”
“Karissa is one of the best dog sitters I have ever hired for my sweet dog! She is very practical about the attention she gives and makes sure you don’t go a single day without a through update! Shes the absolute best and even bought my dog plenty of toys to play with for her stay!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I've cared for animals for as long as I can remember—from helping family and friends with their pets to raising my own dog. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else's care, which is why I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pup. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like one of my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, belly rubs, enrichment, or relaxing on the couch after an active day, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. You'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting, so I'll send regular photo and video updates along with messages about our adventures, walks, naps, meals, and all the tail wags in between. I live in a community with plenty of green space and walking paths, making it perfect for exercise and sniff-filled adventures. If your dog enjoys getting out and exploring, I'm also happy to visit local parks or dog-friendly trails (with your approval) to keep them active and engaged. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your dog a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be alone and will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. We start the morning with a walk, enjoy outdoor time and play breaks during the afternoon, and finish the day with another walk to burn off any remaining energy before settling in for the evening. I love spending time outside whenever I can, and if your dog enjoys adventures too, I'd be happy to bring them along on walks, park visits, or dog-friendly trails (with your permission). My flexible work schedule allows me to maintain your dog's routine, provide frequent potty breaks, and give them the companionship, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they're receiving attentive, personalized care all day long. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is a clean, pet-friendly environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel right at home. They'll have cozy places to rest, a variety of toys to keep them entertained, and—of course—plenty of love and the occasional treat (with your approval!). Your dog will also have a built-in companion during their stay. I have a calm, friendly, 5-year-old Lab mix named Jake who loves meeting new dogs and is great at helping them feel comfortable. I always introduce dogs thoughtfully and make sure everyone is getting along before allowing them to play together. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pup like family, providing a safe, loving environment where they can have fun, relax, and receive the same care and attention I'd want for my own dog.
