“Kimberly was awesome! She kept me updated on my dog with plenty of pictures and let me know how he was doing daily. She was very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe and fun place to board their furry family members.”

“Bella was so well taken care of by Jillian. I got daily pictures and updates. Bella had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. If I need another sitter I’ll definitely be rebooking.”

“I would recommend Alexis to whoever wants to leave their dog with someone while they are gone because I can say that you don't have to be worried whether your dog is ok or not because your dog will be in good hands with Alexis because when I picked up my dog he was happy and she kept me informed about how he was doing and she is the person that I will continue to leave my dog with whenever I have to leave town!!!”

“Absolutely thrilled by the job done. My pups were happy and well taken care of. I got pictures of them regularly. I got stuck at the airport abd Marshall was able to drop my dogs off before I got home. Really went above and beyond. I would highly recommend and would 100% use again.”

About: Hi, I’m Abigail! I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and understand that every one has its own personality and needs. I take pride in providing a safe, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I know leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so I make sure to keep owners updated and reassured every step of the way. I'm a people person and love talking ! Do not feel shy to tell me what ur expectations are. I look forward to meeting your pet and making their time with me fun, comfortable, and full of attention. I have plenty of free time right now considering this is my full time job. I will be able to give your pet lots of attention, play, and care while you’re away. I love doing recurring drop inns! I care for dogs the same way I would care for people. They deserve respect, patience, and gentle treatment. Animals are innocent, and I feel lucky to have the opportunity to build a companionship with them. The more I know about your pet, the better I can help them feel comfortable while in my care. So please tell me all the silly little things that make your pet unique! I have a friendly dog of my own, but I understand that not all dogs get along. If needed, I will separate dogs in my care to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.I am comfortable handling rough or difficult dogs, but I cannot safely care for dogs that viciously attack people, I ask that owners are honest with me about their dog’s temperament and any behaviors I should be aware of. If a dog is not in a securely enclosed area and is not trained to be off leash , I will keep them on a leash at all times! Safety is my biggest concern when watching your pet i’ve learned a lot of what not to do but i’m aware anything can happen so I do my best to avoid any bad situations and if something does happen I tell owners right away!

“First time using Rover and couldn’t have wished a better pet sitter. She took good care of my babies and kept sending us updates and pics. Will defiantly use her in the future again.”


“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Blue! ❤️ From the moment we dropped him off, we could tell he was in such loving and caring hands. She treated him like he was her own and gave him so much love and attention. What I appreciated most was how thoughtful she was about keeping us updated. We were extremely busy traveling for our son’s hockey, so we honestly weren’t the ones checking in or asking for updates like we normally would. Emily took the initiative to send us pictures and updates throughout his stay, which meant so much to us. It was such a relief to be able to see Blue happy, comfortable, and well cared for without even having to ask. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and genuinely seemed to love having Blue there. You can absolutely tell when someone is caring for your dog because they truly care, and Emily was exactly that person. We are so grateful we found her and would 100% trust Emily with Blue again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I highly recommend her! 🐾❤️ Thank you Emily!!!”

“Shelby went out of her way to look for my dog’s tags that fell off and has just been a relief to have my dog taken care of while I’m at work for long shifts. She is great!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since the age of 12 beginning with my parents animals. They include livestock dogs, cats, and even exotics. With an enrichment play program design for mental stimulation of that particular pet and plenty of snuggles everyone feels loved. From feeding to making sure that medication’s are taken properly no task is too big. I am currently working full-time and off every weekend. Tend to go home or if I’m with a pet go to their house for lunch to make sure that everyone has a potty break and a quick bite to eat too. At this time, I am unable to care in my personal home due to minor repairs going on at This time. As time goes on, this will change and all are welcome with Proof of vaccinations.

About: I’ve worked with animals since childhood and currently handle my own reactive dog who has significant behavioral challenges. Through extensive training, positive reinforcement, and patience, I’ve learned to read body language, manage triggers, and create calm environments for anxious or reactive pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, and other animals. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me with their pets because I treat each animal as an individual with unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet requiring medication, or a reactive dog needing structured walks, I provide attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekday evenings (typically after 5-6pm) and anytime on weekends. This makes me ideal for after-work walks, evening feeding visits, or full weekend care when you’re traveling. I’m also flexible for last-minute weekend bookings. I keep a consistent schedule so your pet can rely on regular timing, and I always communicate clearly about availability and any changes. For dog walks, I’m experienced with leash reactivity and keep dogs safely secured with secure collars/harnesses. I follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, and routine. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep doors/gates secured, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. I have a fenced yard if boarding is needed. My own dog has taught me to be vigilant about safety - I never take risks with gates, doors, or off-leash situations unless you’ve explicitly approved it.
