“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Hannah has such a kind soul. My dog went over to her without pause. We got updated photos during her sleepover which definitely helps with the separation anxiety. I will always use Hannah as my go to dog person.”
“After Jeanie watched our Aussie pup, Titan, I don’t think we could chose anyone else. She was so kind and treated him like her own. We received so many fun and playful pictures during his time with her. We knew what his day looked like everyday we were away. She made this process so much easier on us and Titan.”
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
“Caillyn had great communication and her house and land is perfect for a hyper puppy like mine! She was so sweet and went above and beyond to keep Harley safe and happy.”
“Shawna is very respectful and reliable. She has kept our Cash twice now and I can't begin to express how grateful we are to have found her. I will continue to use her to care for him when we are away. She takes such good care of him and I love getting the pictures and videos from her. If you need care for your fur babies, I highly recommend her.”
“Daniella is a born dog person. She was attentive and communicative. She paid attention to what Sunny was doing and sent pictures along the way. Would absolutely use her services again and recommend to anyone.”
“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our Harley with Jordyn and Marcus! They were so kind and welcoming, and our pup had a great time with them. Their home was nice, and the whole experience was convenient and stress-free. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be calling them again the next time we’re in Knoxville! Highly recommend!”
“LOVED the experience. I knew my girl was in safe hands and am so glad I booked with Skylar. Very responsive, very understanding, randomly sent pictures!! I never worried once while she took care of my moody, drooly dog. Will use her again and again, as long as she will have us!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Keturah was so great with my overly excited pug, her family and fur babies welcomed him like he was one of their own, I was nervous leaving him for nearly a week, and I have never used rover before, but being last minute, they were very helpful and accommodating, I even had to leave him for one extra night, and Keturah assured me it was no problem to watch him, what a life saver! Bruno had so much fun and got the love he needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future to take loving care of my Bruno.”

“Always happy when Jill is available to check in on our girls. This time, we had some packages arrive early unexpectedly (including a huge Chewy box - sorry Jill!) and she brought them in for us. I always know my house and pets will be taken care of with her.”
“Sarah takes wonderful care of Kitty and is a very responsible person. I have booked her twice since finding her on Rover.com and have her booked for my next two trips. I think it would be hard to find anyone better.”
“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”
“1st time using Haley and rover. My boys are everything and leaving them always scares me esp bc 1 of then is diabetic and need insulin and the recommended feeding regime. Haley did great with them and sent me pics of the boys and was available to chat when I got home for my check in. Will be using her on a permanent basis.”
“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and animals have always been one of the biggest passions in my life. For the past five years, I’ve been rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m especially comfortable caring for medically complex pets and understand the importance of strict medication schedules, feeding times, and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs extra patience, routine, or medical attention, you can trust that I’ll treat them with the same level of care and dedication that I would my own. I also love taking dogs on walks, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Professionally, I work in hospice and memory care, where compassion, patience, and reliability are essential every day. While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to rescue and foster as much as I used to, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to continue doing what I love caring for animals and giving pet owners peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide them with loving, dependable care while you’re away. I am currently working night shift 7pm-7am but have Tuesday's Thursday's Saturday's and every other Sunday off! I would love to be able to come by and hangout with your furry friend during the day when needed and discussions on boarding on weekends are always welcome! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. With five years of experience rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and specialized diets. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my senior short-haired tabby cat for the long Memorial Day weekend. She followed the pre-arranged schedule perfectly and performed all the requested duties completely. She communicated with me for every visit, giving details of my cat’s behavior and wellbeing, and providing photos of my cat with each visit. I am very happy with Cassandra’s service and would definitely use her again!”
“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”
About: I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember. As a child, I use to get jobs from the neighbors to check in out their cats while they was away. As an adult, I’ve cat sit for the neighbors around me along with having my own favorite furry friends!
About: I have experience doing cat drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, giving treats, and providing companionship based on each cat’s personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or more shy and independent, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine.
“Louisa has been helping out with my dogs for a couple months now and she has taken excellent care of them when I am at work or out of town. My dogs loves her and she makes sure they get the attention they need. My dogs are my world and she treats them with the same love and care! I will continue to use Louisa and highly recommend her to anyone in need!”
About: I've had cats my whole life and currently have three in my home! They are my babies and I would treat your cat the same way I treat my own. They are such sweet babies but I also know they can be feisty as well so I'm very familiar with how to approach cats and make them feel the most comfortable in their environment.

“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Daniella was amazing. I dont think they could get any better than her. She kept us updated and took some amazing pictures of our dogs. Will definitely use again and recommend her.”
“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.
About: I am an absolute dog lover and have taken care of dogs for over 15 years! I can handle puppies and adult dogs with ease. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability to be able to care for your baby. My schedule is pretty open for the most part. I have a big front and backyard and a friendly dog that can play with your baby. Unfortunately it is unfenced, however I make sure to keep close supervision. We can play inside or outside, whichever is preferred.
“Sully loved his play date with Andrew and was all wags and happy when I picked him up. I really appreciate Andrew’s ability to take Sully on such short notice. We’ll be booking again.”
About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
“Jenny has a real dog sense. She was great with my chihuahua Charlie. He doesn't love other dogs but she knows how to put him at ease even with other animals roving around so everyone was happy in their own space.”
“Absolutely amazing! They both were so welcoming with our dogs and I felt they were very happy and content right from getting there! Communication was great and the photos/videos really helped put me at ease. Will definitely book again!”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet I meet. I have experience working with pets who have special needs and am comfortable administering medications and providing medical assistance when needed. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m always willing to adapt to your pet’s specific needs to help them feel safe and happy. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby and provide dependable, compassionate care. I’m also pretty flexible with scheduling and notice whenever possible! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently flexible with my schedule at this time! Currently working remotely. With notice available for drop ins, walks and sitting for your fur babies! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!
About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and animals have always been one of the biggest passions in my life. For the past five years, I’ve been rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I’m especially comfortable caring for medically complex pets and understand the importance of strict medication schedules, feeding times, and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs extra patience, routine, or medical attention, you can trust that I’ll treat them with the same level of care and dedication that I would my own. I also love taking dogs on walks, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Professionally, I work in hospice and memory care, where compassion, patience, and reliability are essential every day. While my work schedule doesn’t allow me to rescue and foster as much as I used to, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to continue doing what I love caring for animals and giving pet owners peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide them with loving, dependable care while you’re away. I am currently working night shift 7pm-7am but have Tuesday's Thursday's Saturday's and every other Sunday off! I would love to be able to come by and hangout with your furry friend during the day when needed and discussions on boarding on weekends are always welcome! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, potty breaks, and any special instructions. With five years of experience rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering dogs, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and specialized diets. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
About: Hi there! My boyfriend and I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and we’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and to me, pets are family—no exceptions. Caring for animals is my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or training sessions, I love spending quality time making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I also understand how to build trust with new pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Their well-being is my top priority, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love and attention as my own. I have two dogs who I adore taking on walks, and I honestly feel like it’s almost a crime to go to the park or beach without them! They get multiple walks throughout the day, and on weekends, we love going for hikes. During the weekdays, we visit local parks or dog parks for some fresh air and exercise. When caring for pets, I prioritize attention, activity, and comfort. For example, I recently boarded an energetic young dog overnight. After feeding him the food his owner provided, my boyfriend and I took him to the dog park, where he had a blast running around and socializing for an hour. Afterward, we walked him alongside my dog to help him settle in. At home, I made him a cozy bed in our room, played with him, and showered him with pets and attention to ease any anxiety about being away from his owners. By the end of the night, he insisted on sleeping in bed with us—exception granted! What You Can Expect: ✔️ Daily Walks & Exercise – All dogs go on multiple walks, and weekend stays include a dog park or hiking trip. ✔️ Plenty of Play & Attention – Whether your pet loves to play or just cuddle, I make sure they feel at home. ✔️ Feeding & Special Care – Pets are fed in the morning and around dinner time (or as per your instructions). ✔️ Safe & Comfortable Stay – Dogs are welcome to sleep in my room, but they’re free to find their own cozy spot. ✔️ Cat-Friendly Care – Cats can roam freely, receive fresh litter changes every 1-2 days, and even get a warm cloth bath if needed. I open my home to your pets as if it were their own—it’s always a joy to have them around! I’d love to learn more about your pet’s needs and personality. Let’s chat! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. My beagle gets regular walks throughout the day, ensuring plenty of exercise and fresh air. On weekends, we love going on hikes or visiting the park for extra adventure and playtime. With my flexible routine, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means scheduled walks, play sessions, or extra cuddle time! Pets in my home are treated like family. My dog, Knox, spends his days napping in his favorite spot, chewing on a bone, or playing hide-and-seek with me. Our apartment is calm and quiet, making it a comfortable space for pets to relax. When Knox isn’t resting, we’re out on walks or enjoying some playtime. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention, ensuring they feel safe and at home!

“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Hannah has such a kind soul. My dog went over to her without pause. We got updated photos during her sleepover which definitely helps with the separation anxiety. I will always use Hannah as my go to dog person.”
“After Jeanie watched our Aussie pup, Titan, I don’t think we could chose anyone else. She was so kind and treated him like her own. We received so many fun and playful pictures during his time with her. We knew what his day looked like everyday we were away. She made this process so much easier on us and Titan.”
“Caillyn had great communication and her house and land is perfect for a hyper puppy like mine! She was so sweet and went above and beyond to keep Harley safe and happy.”
“Daniella is a born dog person. She was attentive and communicative. She paid attention to what Sunny was doing and sent pictures along the way. Would absolutely use her services again and recommend to anyone.”
“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our Harley with Jordyn and Marcus! They were so kind and welcoming, and our pup had a great time with them. Their home was nice, and the whole experience was convenient and stress-free. We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely be calling them again the next time we’re in Knoxville! Highly recommend!”
“LOVED the experience. I knew my girl was in safe hands and am so glad I booked with Skylar. Very responsive, very understanding, randomly sent pictures!! I never worried once while she took care of my moody, drooly dog. Will use her again and again, as long as she will have us!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Colt (my dog) stayed with Joseph and his family for two nights. Joseph was great at communicating with me and very understanding regarding my dog’s separation anxiety issues. It was Colt’s very first board at a home. Needless to say, my husband and I ourselves were a little anxious! But Joseph was quick to reply and provided plenty of updates with photos. Joseph also asked plenty of questions regarding Colt’s care, which I feel is a shining example of his strive towards excellent care. 10/10 would book again! 😊”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“My dog loves going to the “babysitter’s” house! She’s always well taken care of. Caleb has a great set up in his house and yard. His experience with animals is obvious.”
