Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ding Dong
“Lynn was great! Sent periodic photos and was so pleasant the entire time, starting from before drop off to drop off. It sounds like my dog also got along with hers and her family! Would rebook with her again if I needed dog sitting.”
“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Roshonda was absolutely amazing with my dog. She took exceptional care of him and truly went above and beyond. She surprised him with the sweetest gift bag full of snacks, took beautiful photos that I will cherish forever, and treated him with so much love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. Roshonda is thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely loves dogs. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog sitter.”
“Courtney and her family were really awesome with Caramel while I was traveling for the weekend. They provided her lots of cuddles and hugs. Courtney shared some photos of Caramel over the weekend and that was nice to see my pup happy and well-adjusted. Caramel ran around the backyard with their golden retriever, and she even got to use the kiddie pool in the backyard. When I picked up Caramel, everything was gathered together and she got a treat bag to take home! I would definitely book with Courtney again in the future!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Rowan’s house! I liked that she sent pictures of them daily and checked in. They seemed very comfortable around her when we came back to pick them up. Thank you Rowan for taking great care of our pups! We will be boarding them with her again!”
“Rachunda took excellent care of my baby. When I got there to pick her up her tail was just a wagging and that lets me know Minkah was comfortable with her surroundings. She was also playful with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend her to friends and family. I will also use her again for my pet sitter.”
“Susan was excellent with our two dogs and sent pictures to re-assure us that they were getting along fine with her dogs. She was very accommodating when I misjudged our drop off and pick up times. Our dogs seemed happy there.”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“Gwen and Dalton take the best care of our sweet dog. They take him on walks, play lots of fetch and give him all of the love! I receive photos daily, which is nice. Their dog, Kato, is the sweetest guy and even runs his own Instagram account! Check it out - you won’t be disappointed! (@katobugandfriends) I’m already planning to use them for our next trip!”
“We have entrusted Manny with our two boys since 2017 and will continue to do so. There was a gap during covid craziness, but we are so happy to see that he is available again. He remembered our boys and their likes and needs. Scout and Bandit were thrilled to see him again. Don't hesitate to book with Manny. He'll treat your pups like family.”
“If you’re searching for a loving and caring home for your dog, look no further than Julie! She and her family provided exceptional care for our golden retriever while we were away. Julie was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. As a mom, she truly understands the dynamics of family life and was wonderfully understanding of our needs as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Melissa did such an amazing job with our fur baby, Nubi! My boyfriend and I think Nubi is such a good girl to start. But Melissa has managed to make her an even gooder girl! Goodest girl, if you ask me :) we highly recommend that your dogs would be in the best care with Melissa! Will definitely book her again without any hesitation in the future. Thank you so much Melissa!”
“I was very pleased with the care and attention Jimmye Sue and Tom gave Lola. Lola immediately took to them during our Meet and Greet and my mind was at ease knowing she was in good hands. Communication was quick and easy. I received daily updates and photos. When we returned from our vacation I picked up a clean and happy Lola. I would certainly recommend Jimmye Sue and Tom for your pet sitting needs!”
“Dorothy was great! She was communicative and sent plenty of photos/updates of our dog while she had him. She took great care of him. We would use her again anytime!”

“Apryl did an amazing job watching over my cat while we were out of town for a few days! She kept me updated and sent me videos and pictures of my baby❤️ Will be rebooking in the future”
About: I have two cats! A beautiful calico kitty named Honey and a gray tabby name Luna. I am used to cats who need all of the snuggles in the world and some who just need some space. I also grew up with a dog and are very comfortable with all energies. Overall, I am excited to provide the same care that I would expect of my own fur babies!
“I really appreciate that Ashleigh was able to take on a last minute booking from me, and that she handled it and the slew of care taking info I sent her like the experienced sitter she clearly is! I knew my boy was in good hands.”
“It was my first time using Rover and I am so happy to have booked with Lindsay. She was incredibly communicative and took very great care of my cat, Margot! My cat is not always the cleanest when it comes to litter box use, especially when I am away, but Lindsay took care of Margot's accidents and always communicated if anything seemed out of the ordinary. I will definitely reach out to Lindsay in the future!”
“Cassandra did an absolutely fantastic job caring for my cats, Caramel and Snowy, while I was on vacation. I could tell my cats were so happy and well cared for almost like they didn’t want to leave! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands, and I will absolutely use Cassandra again for any future trips!”
“I'm so grateful to have found Tessa. She looked after my two cats with so much love and care, treating them like her own. Knowing that my fur babies were in good hands made my trip stress free. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Ayden is the best caretaker of our Blue Siamese girl, Isa! He is most dependable and responsive. He takes amazing care of her while we are gone, is very consistent in what he does and how he does it (refilling water, keeping house temperature in check, communicating with Isa and last but not least, with us :) -- ). He is also very knowledgeable about feline behavior. We truly learn from Ayden. The best testament to our gratitude and admiration for how Ayden completes his work is that we always keep coming back to him over the span of about two years. Ayden is the best help for us! We hope he continues to work with Rover! Thank you, Ayden! We wish you a Happy and Successful 2026!!! We are very grateful to you! AAU and Isa :)))”

“Omayra was great even though one of my dogs was nervous and barking. He adjusted after a few visits while I was gone out of town overnight. Will definitely be requesting her services for future travels.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have owned many breeds in the past such as Boxers, American Bullies, Dobermans, Labs, Golden retrievers, Chihuahuas, Boston terriers, and Frenchies. Senior Care: I have experience with senior dogs, understanding their unique requirements, and mobility challenges, and providing gentle companionship. Communication: Regular updates are essential. I’ll send you photos, videos, and detailed notes about our adventures together, so you’re always connected. Dog Walking: I’ll keep your pup active and engaged during walks. In-Home Visits: I’ll provide playtime, feeding, and cuddles. Overnight Boarding: Your pet will feel at home in my cozy space. Special Needs Care: If your pet requires extra attention, I’m equipped to handle it. My Dad says that I am a Disney Princess the way I communicate with animals! I am currently a substitute teacher and the school year is coming to an end, meaning I will have a lot more free time than I already do! Morning Routine: Pet Feeding: Before heading to school, I ensure my furry friends have their breakfast. Consistency matters! Quick Walk: A brisk morning walk keeps both me and my dog energized. It’s a great way to start the day. During School Hours: Scheduled Breaks: During breaks or planning periods, I check in on my pets. A quick video call or a photo exchange keeps us connected. Lunchtime Walk: If my schedule allows, I squeeze in a midday walk for my dog. Fresh air benefits us both. After School: Quality Time: As soon as I’m back, it’s playtime! Whether it’s fetch, cuddles, or training sessions, I dedicate quality time to my pets. Cuddles and Pet Care: Since I do not grade assignments, I keep an eye on my pets. They often nap nearby, providing adorable distractions. Evening Routine: Dinner and Evening Walk: After dinner, we head out for a longer walk. It’s a chance for me to unwind and for my dog to explore. Quiet Time: As I prepare for the next day’s lessons, my pets settle down. They know it’s quiet time. Weekends: Adventure Time: Weekends are for longer trips to the dog park, and exploring new trails. Certainly! As a pet sitter, I adapt my care approach based on the specific service and location. Here's how I handle pet care in different scenarios: 1. **In My Home (Boarding)**: - **Comfortable Environment**: My pet-friendly apartment ensures a cozy and safe space for your furry friend. - **Regular Walks**: I take dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to nearby dog relief stations. - **Playtime**: Interactive play sessions keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. - **Feeding Schedule**: I follow your pet's feeding routine and dietary preferences. - **Grooming**: Regular brushing and grooming maintain their coat health. - **Quiet Time**: Pets have their own designated area for rest and relaxation. 2. **In Client's Home (House Sitting)**: - **Familiar Surroundings**: I provide in-home care, minimizing stress for your pet. - **Feeding and Medication**: I stick to their usual feeding schedule and administer any necessary medications. - **Exercise**: Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation keep them happy. - **Security**: I ensure your home is secure, collect mail, and maintain routines. - **Updates**: I send you regular updates, including photos and videos. 3. **Dog Walking**: - **Scheduled Walks**: I take your dog for walks during the day. - **Exploration**: We explore nearby parks, trails, or dog-friendly areas. - **Potty Breaks**: Regular breaks ensure their comfort. 4. **Drop-In Visits**: - **Brief Check-Ins**: I visit your home to feed, play, and offer companionship. - **Litter Box Cleaning**: For cats, I maintain a clean litter box. - **Security Check**: I ensure doors and windows are secure. 5. **Doggy Day Care**: - **Daytime Supervision**: Your dog spends the day with me, enjoying playtime and socializing. - **Rest Areas**: I provide cozy spots for naps and downtime. - **Interaction**: Dogs interact with other friendly pets if applicable. Remember, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for your pets, whether it's in my home or yours. 🐾❤️

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ding Dong
“Sara was very hands on and knowledgeable about the wellness of my dogs. This is the first time I've taken both of my puppers and they look like they had a FANTASTIC time. My German Shepard mix was very nervous at first which made me nervous but over time he got over it. I am going to set up more play dates with Sara. Take your puppers to her, she won't disappoint.”
“Brook took care of my dog and she treated her as if she were her own. She actually cares for the dogs. She communicated with me throughout the day and even sent me photos. I loved every bit of the experience. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking again!”

I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with a deep background in veterinary assistance. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the same expertise I would in a clinical setting, combined with the love they get at home. Boarding is our main service but doggy daycare is also available! We have a huge backyard and a playful puppy to keep your pet company. I work from home and my husband is separated military so we are always home! Your stay is just a meet and greet away! How does the meet and greet work? Well! You can bring your pups to us! You get a first person experience of where your pet will be staying. Once inside we all meet in the backyard to make sure our pups get along! If your pet is reactive or not other pet friendly we can EASILY make accommodations! Tell us all about their daily routine and we will do our darndest to make them feel at home! I recommend bringing enough food for the trip, Leash or harness, a comfort toy, and food and water bowls. No need to bring your kennel! We have one available if you would like them kenneled. PCSing? Ask me about our Service Member Special! I work full time from home as a business owner. Being able to choose my schedule means I can prioritize your personal needs. I prioritize offering boarding options but the occasional drop in visit is also fine. The home can easily be sectioned off for seperate areas for cats and dogs if necessary. I have a fenced back yard and a open floor plan to ensure plenty of space for your fur babies to move around. This is a kennel free house hold so if you are crate training or prefer your pet sleep in their kennel please provide one. I do own 1 pet bird who will be seperate from any guests. We also own a kitten and a puppy. Im able to section off an area of our home to allow a safe stay for both cat and dog owners.

Your pup won’t just be cared for — they’ll be cared about. ❤️ 🚨MUST BE CRATE TRAINED🚨 **MUST BE CRATE TRAINED** My work schedule is very flexible.

“I’m so thankful to Isabella for taking such great care of my little baby girl, Kirana! This was our first time ever leaving her with anyone, so I was definitely nervous, but Isabella made the experience so reassuring. She kept me updated throughout the day, let me check in, and sent pictures/videos which I really appreciated. Kirana had such a good time and was very well cared for. You can tell Isabella genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so happy we found her and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! 🩷”

“Kira was available on short notice and took excellent care of our two doggos. She took time to arrange a quick meet-up at a nearby dog park to get everybody familiar with each other, and showed great patience and kindness. She sent us updates while they were with her, and was ready with them when it was time to pick up. Kira is definitely a dog person. She comes highly recommended, and we will most certainly use her dog sitting services the next time we’re in town!”

It’s a chance for me to unwind and for my dog to explore. Quiet Time: As I prepare for the next day’s lessons, my pets settle down. They know it’s quiet time. Weekends: Adventure Time: Weekends are for longer trips to the dog park, and exploring new trails. Certainly! As a pet sitter, I adapt my care approach based on the specific service and location. Here's how I handle pet care in different scenarios: 1. **In My Home (Boarding)**: - **Comfortable Environment**: My pet-friendly apartment ensures a cozy and safe space for your furry friend. - **Regular Walks**: I take dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to nearby dog relief stations. - **Playtime**: Interactive play sessions keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. - **Feeding Schedule**: I follow your pet's feeding routine and dietary preferences. - **Grooming**: Regular brushing and grooming maintain their coat health. - **Quiet Time**: Pets have their own designated area for rest and relaxation. 2. **In Client's Home (House Sitting)**: - **Familiar Surroundings**: I provide in-home care, minimizing stress for your pet. - **Feeding and Medication**: I stick to their usual feeding schedule and administer any necessary medications. - **Exercise**: Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation keep them happy. - **Security**: I ensure your home is secure, collect mail, and maintain routines. - **Updates**: I send you regular updates, including photos and videos. 3. **Dog Walking**: - **Scheduled Walks**: I take your dog for walks during the day. - **Exploration**: We explore nearby parks, trails, or dog-friendly areas. - **Potty Breaks**: Regular breaks ensure their comfort. 4. **Drop-In Visits**: - **Brief Check-Ins**: I visit your home to feed, play, and offer companionship. - **Litter Box Cleaning**: For cats, I maintain a clean litter box. - **Security Check**: I ensure doors and windows are secure. 5. **Doggy Day Care**: - **Daytime Supervision**: Your dog spends the day with me, enjoying playtime and socializing. - **Rest Areas**: I provide cozy spots for naps and downtime. - **Interaction**: Dogs interact with other friendly pets if applicable. Remember, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for your pets, whether it's in my home or yours. 🐾❤️
About: I have taken care of many pets my whole life. I have also have dogs of my own and currently have two. I am often entrusted with caring for family and friend pets. I pay attention to detail and ensure the babies are happy after my visit. I also have my EMT-B and know basic emergency pet care. I am currently on the hunt for a job so I have all the free time needed to care for fur babies morning and evening. I have two fur babies of my own with a fenced in yard and they get fed twice a day. We also have a lot of play time and often spend time in and outside of the house.
About: I’ve walked my neighbors dogs all the time. I am very good with pets. I’ve had animals practically my whole life. Caring for animals is what I am good at. I do have a full time job but after work, pet care will be my number 1 priority. I am always off on Sundays and don’t usually work that late during the week. Just depends on the day. But I will always find time to care for your pets I have a fence in the back yard and play with my dogs all the time and take them on walks. I love walking and playing with animals. I find it relaxing and enjoyable
About: I ran my own dog business prior to moving from Fort Campbell, during that time I have had over 400 clients, and over 275 repeat clients. I do my best to maintain your dogs schedule and to make them a part of the family. If you use my services repeatedly it is highly likely your pet will become a part of our extended pet family like so many other in the past. For the most part someone is always at the house to provide whatever care or attention is needed for your animals. They will be let outside early in the morning and however frequently they want to during the day. I hate that I have to clarify, but you dogs will sleep inside. Either in a kennel if they need to, or on the bed with my kids. I have a fenced in yard if your dogs come to my house. They will sleep inside and basically have the same rules as they do in your own home. If I am doing drop ins, I follow your schedule as best as possible. Normally I will spend most of the time playing with the pups or giving them attention if they don’t play.
About: I’ve taken care of animals every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, give love and attention to their pets for years. I will do my upmost to care for them just as you would. If you have pets that need training I will stick with it while they are in my care. I can can for senior pets with special needs, animals with disabilities and I respect special diets. I currently have a small business working from home, my daily and weekly routine is flexible. I have my own animals I care for so adding daily trips for drop in visits or pet pick ups for daycare are added into what I do on a daily basis. I have my own animals living with me, 3 dogs and 3 cats along with some reptiles. I have a 1600sq ft home with a fenced in backyard. The backyard has grass and is right next to a park for nice walks. Caring for pets in my home require neutral ground visits first as I require that all animals get along first. This means dogs all must meet each other individually before they come to stay with us. If all animals get along then they have free roam and are supervised during. If I must leave animals with be put away in either their kennels/cages or in rooms to make sure everyone is safe from any accidents. For drop in visits animals will be taking care of based on the clients specifications. If I am staying in your home I will be caring for your animals based on your needs and giving them the same attention my animals would get.

“Courtney and her family were really awesome with Caramel while I was traveling for the weekend. They provided her lots of cuddles and hugs. Courtney shared some photos of Caramel over the weekend and that was nice to see my pup happy and well-adjusted. Caramel ran around the backyard with their golden retriever, and she even got to use the kiddie pool in the backyard. When I picked up Caramel, everything was gathered together and she got a treat bag to take home! I would definitely book with Courtney again in the future!”

Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
