“We had Jeff and Shirley care for Mimi while we went on a cruise. It was important to us that she stayed in a home that included her as part of their family. Jeff and Shirley were wonderful and Mimi was right at home!!!! Although she was happy to see us when we came home, I think she missed Buddy, Jeff and Shirley's dog. I knew right from our meet and greet that Mimi would enjoy her stay and we would definitely recommend Jeff and Shirley to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!! Mimi is looking forward to her next visit in September ”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Ann was amazing, she just radiates love and kindness for animals, her energy is so calming. It was not easy leaving our fur baby with a stranger however she made it so much more bearable. Ann sent pictures and updates multiple times a day and was so reassuring. I was so thankful for how much she loved and cared for Mali as her own. We couldn't show more appreciation for Ann.”
“Macy enjoyed being spoiled during her stay with Shawna. Shawna went the extra mile to make sure Macy acclimated easily. She has a lovely, well kept home with a fenced back yard. Macy just joined right in the routine. Shawna also was quick to respond when I checked in to see how Macy was doing with pictures that put our mind at ease. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“Jay and Nancy were wonderful! They were so kind and put us at ease leaving our two rescues with them. The dogs were happy and I'm sure had a wonderful time roaming the enclosed yard, seeing the lambs and chickens through the fence, and running around with Finn and Pacho!! Nancy sent pictures every day showing our "kids" having a fun vacation! We were very pleased, and would definitely recommend them! Sparky and Angel also came home with beautiful new reflective collars and leashes! Thanks to Jay and his "Trailhound" business! Very reasonable, and way better than their Walmart specials:)”
“Ryan took great care of our energetic 7 month old puppy!! A great experience throughout from booking to pick up. Communication was always excellent and they sent tons of pics of our pup having a blast. Seemed like puppy paradise!! Definitely recommend!!”
“Samantha was great with my dog and two cats! She truly has the best interest of your pet at heart. Charlie loved boarding at Samantha’s house. She is consistent with pictures and updates giving me peace of mind my babies are happy and well. I’ll definitely be using Samantha in the future for dog and cat sitting.”

We wouldn’t hesitate to send our girls to Shannon again, in fact as long as she is around our girls will always go to her.”
“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question.

“I booked April at the last minute for an emergency trip and my boys took right to her! April did a consult visit the day before and her follow-up was impeccable. We will definitely be using April again. My boys were not stressed out at all when I arrived back home and that itself is worth a million words; priceless.”
“Jesse was absolutely wonderful in caring for our little cat while we were away. He was calm and professional in gathering all the info he needed to take on the assignment and managed her care perfectly. He kept her comfortable and happy and went out of his way to make sure she was safe and well cared for. Really great communications and updates from Jesse, which really put our minds at ease. We arrived back to find everything done so well and our cat relaxed and sweet as ever. Very highly recommend Jesse and will hope he’s available for future drop-in cat care!! Thanks Jesse!”
“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have always had dogs or cats in my home. My wife and I currently have a dog who we adopted from a shelter. My wife is a certified Dog Trainer and is also employed by the local Humane Society, so we are both involved in the care of animals and absolutely love it! I mention this only to better emphasize our mutual love for animals. She has her own job and business and will not be assisting me in any way in my endeavor to employ myself as a Dog/Cat sitter/walker/care giver, etc. I am retired, and as such I am available most every day to help anyone in need of services, little to no advance notice necessary. I am retired and run a small book selling business out of my home. My business only takes an hour or so of my time each morning, so I am available almost anytime every day of the week to help care for dogs/cats. I have a senior dog in my home at the moment, a dog that my wife and I adopted from a rescue shelter. She is an inside dog, but we have 10 acres so when she goes out, she has freedom to run around. For clients, I am comfortable with any type of service necessary. I can take care of dogs in the house, take them for walks, feed them, hang out for a bit and play with them, etc. Most any service you need, I can do. I do take care of cats as well, although they do not really need much other than cleaning up, feeding, and some attention.

“Megan was great! My one year old fur baby has issues with her kidneys and Megan made sure Lilly was well taken care of and given lots of love! I was nervous leaving her for the day with Megan and her family due to my pup’s health issues and her being nervous-she doesn’t travel well sometimes-but Megan kept me up to date on everything and the family surrounded her with the love and care she needed. Will definitely consider Megan watching my fur baby again when I’m back in the area. :)”

“Like so many, my dog is my bestest bud and I’m very picky about who I trust to watch him, even at home. We were visiting Dollywood from Florida and knew Jaxson would need a walk while we were at the park… I was very nervous to use Rover for the first time, especially in an unfamiliar area and staying in a hotel. Ami gave me faith in Rover!! She was AMAZING. Super flexible, sweet, Jaxson loved her, and they went on little adventures together. He even got a patch from a local Police Officer on one of his walks! Ami truly treated Jaxson like one of her own and if I’m ever in the area again, I’ll choose Ami again no doubt!”

However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
About: I have currently had a dog and cat(s) since I was born! I absolutely love having a companion around to bring with me everywhere provide all the love and attention to them! I recently in April 2022, rescued my German shepherd lab pup, Beau! He’s a great, big goofball and I love him dearly! I have continuously helped friends and family members and also a few neighbors here and there with helping drop in on their loved ones and taking care of them while they’re away! For dogs, I love all types! I enjoy providing a long walk for them, trips to the park if they have lots of energy you need them to burn off and even trips to the pet store for treats, or a pup cup for dessert, if allowed! I have always had a cat growing up as well! I currently have two; a beautiful orange tabby and a silver tabby! They are both amazing cats, love cuddling and I spoil them like they were dogs! I am available for drop ins, walks or coming to you for house sits if needed! my current schedule is Monday through Friday 8:30-5 ! So I am available all evenings, all day on weekends and between 4:30AM-8:00AM during the week for morning drop ins! I will easily follow your expectations while caring for your pet in your home; if in an apartment, I can take them on a long walk or a trip to the park; In the house I will always do some light cleaning and freshening of their bowls, bed and play areas and making sure they’re following expectation if not allowed on couches or if they are allowed then lots of cuddles and play time for both kitties and doggos!

“Brooke and her family are excellent caregivers for our dog. They love him and treat him as their own. He’s very anxious and it is so nice knowing he will be well loved when we are away!”
“She made my separation from my baby a lot easier with plenty of videos and text. Chubbs seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend her. She is also a very nice and easy person to deal with.”
About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my lifetime and enjoy providing care for them and helping them be able to live their best life on our rural farm like setting. We have 3 dogs of our own. I am a retired registered nurse and would love to provide care to your puppy or dog in our home while you are away from your own home. My husband and I have 3 dogs of our own and they would love to show your dog our wonderful area to play. We can provide a crate for your dog if needed.
“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Ann was amazing, she just radiates love and kindness for animals, her energy is so calming. It was not easy leaving our fur baby with a stranger however she made it so much more bearable. Ann sent pictures and updates multiple times a day and was so reassuring. I was so thankful for how much she loved and cared for Mali as her own. We couldn't show more appreciation for Ann.”
“Macy enjoyed being spoiled during her stay with Shawna. Shawna went the extra mile to make sure Macy acclimated easily. She has a lovely, well kept home with a fenced back yard. Macy just joined right in the routine. Shawna also was quick to respond when I checked in to see how Macy was doing with pictures that put our mind at ease. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Jay and Nancy were wonderful! They were so kind and put us at ease leaving our two rescues with them. The dogs were happy and I'm sure had a wonderful time roaming the enclosed yard, seeing the lambs and chickens through the fence, and running around with Finn and Pacho!! Nancy sent pictures every day showing our "kids" having a fun vacation! We were very pleased, and would definitely recommend them! Sparky and Angel also came home with beautiful new reflective collars and leashes! Thanks to Jay and his "Trailhound" business! Very reasonable, and way better than their Walmart specials:)”
“Samantha was great with my dog and two cats! She truly has the best interest of your pet at heart. Charlie loved boarding at Samantha’s house. She is consistent with pictures and updates giving me peace of mind my babies are happy and well. I’ll definitely be using Samantha in the future for dog and cat sitting.”
About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with our 2 girls. I have no doubt they were very well taken care of and loved! Shannon sent many updates and photos, which put our heart & mind at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to send our girls to Shannon again, in fact as long as she is around our girls will always go to her.”
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
