(Normally I just get pics but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND) Overall it was such a smooth experience and I felt comfortable knowing Asher was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Amy did a great job keeping me updated throughout my whole trip. I tend to keep notifications off on this app but every time I’d check in there would be several photos and videos of her walking, playing and cuddling with my dog Boo.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my "girls"!”

“Risi is an absolute rockstar! She took great care of our two cats over Christmas vacation, kept us updated with lots of pictures and was super patient with our shy cat. Even when they were repeatedly knocking over a water dispenser, she picked it up every time and made sure to love on our troublemaking cat. We'll definitely book with her again in the future - it was such a relief to know that our boys were in capable, caring, professional hands. Thank you, Risi!”

“Olga takes great care and goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are cared for. She would send pictures everyday and took the time to find the cats wherever they were hidden and made sure they ate. She seems to really care about the quality of care the cats received. It was comforting to be gone on vacation and know my pets were being watched over. I’ve already rebooked her again.”
“Tia did a wonderful job as previous times taking care of my cat Shirley while we were away for a week on a cruise trip. She also helped with other tasks for us such as taking in our packages and filling water on our Christmas tree. Definitely recommend her!”

“This was my first time to leave my dog with Helen. Helen is amazing and kept sending photos of Charlie when I was away. She loves dogs and she is very kind and caring. Thank yo Helen and we will be definitely back.”
“Shamareya was extremely communicative and very understanding of my dog’s specific potty training challenges, which I know many others may have been hesitant to take on. Her home is beautiful, spacious, and offers ample indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to enjoy. My dog came home exactly as I dropped him off, which reassured me he was in great hands throughout his stay. Highly recommend Shamareya!!”
“Claudia is great with my 55lb German Shorthaired Pointer and my 5lb 10-week old Bugg. She keeps my puppy away from the other dogs she watches which is very important to me because she is so young. I love the pictures she sends throughout the day. Both of my pups leave happy. Claudia is very reliable and flexible. My pups have been visiting her 1-5 days per week for 4 months. I highly recommend her to watch your babies!”
“Stephanie was so sweet! Her house is perfectly set up for doggies to have a great time! My baby Boone had a wonderful Saturday hanging out, going on walks and meeting other pups with her! I was able to go and have a fun time knowing my furr baby was well taken care of. We will definitely be visiting again! ☺️”
About: At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. Hi, I’m Amy! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I share my home with my sweet (and spoiled!) 6-year old trained Rottweiler, Zara, who has taught me so much about understanding dog body language, and making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is not only my genuine love for animals, but also my background in healthcare. Working in this field has made me reliable, detail oriented, patient, and attentive qualities that naturally carry over into pet care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, noticing small behavior changes, or giving extra comfort and reassurance, I care for every pet like they’re my own. One thing I prioritize most is making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. We typically go on 3–5 walks a day, and I always make sure your dog gets their dose of sunshine, fresh air, sniffing time, and grass time. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, not just cooped up indoors.🙂 Depending on the dog and owner preferences, we sometimes go on fun little outings too ⭐️ Starbucks 💚 pup cup runs, PetSmart trips, or even walks through Lowe’s when the weather is nice and the environment is pet-friendly. I truly enjoy making dogs feel included, engaged, and cared for. 🙂💖 When the weather doesn’t permit extended outdoor time, we switch to indoor enrichment and cozy downtime. We’ll spend time indoors playing fetch, relaxing, and watching movies together until the weather clears up, while still going outside for shorter potty walks and fresh air breaks as needed. I also prioritize structure and safety in my home environment. Zara has her own separate section of the house, and all dogs are kept on a consistent schedule for walks, potty breaks, meals, rest, and individual outside time. I do not introduce untrained dogs to Zara. If your dog is well-trained, calm, and socialized, playtime with Zara may be considered upon request and approval to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone. 😊 Experience: • At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. • Patient and gentle with senior pets, including slow walks, medications, and extra TLC. • Comfortable caring for special needs pets with unique diets, routines, or extra support needs. • Experienced in reading dog body language and adjusting care to each pet’s comfort level and personality. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I recently graduated and am currently finishing my last 3 online prerequisites before applying to the RN program. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be home throughout the day with the pets in my care. I typically wake up around 5:30–6:00 AM to study, then start the day by getting the dogs on schedule for breakfast, potty breaks, walks, and outdoor time. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Environment I take pet safety very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours. At home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space for play and rest. I supervise all interactions and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything stays safe, clean, and organized. Because I work from home, I can provide attentive care throughout the day, and my healthcare experience helps me notice small changes in behavior or health. You can trust that your pet will be happy, safe, and loved under my care. 🐶💛

My home is calm, clean and perfect for shy, playful or senior dogs. I’m very gentle and pay attention to the small details: eating, mood and comfort. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks and simple routines. Spanish is my first language but also i manage the english, so you will always receive clear updates and photos of your pup. I would love to care for your dog while you are away. 💛 I am home most days and nights, so I can give dogs lots of attention and regular potty breaks. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for boarding, doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits during the day and overnight I care for dogs in a calm, clean home where they are always safe and supervised. Our home is spacious, and we have a separate room set up just for dogs to rest comfortably. There is also a large backyard with green space where dogs can go outside to play and relax under supervision. I keep doors and gates securely closed and use a leash for all walks outside the yard. I follow your feeding, potty and routine instructions carefully so your dog feels like they are still at home. If your pup uses a crate or has any special needs, I am happy to keep the same routine and give them gentle, loving care.
“I can tell Gemmy had a great time and Larry kept me updated with pictures of Gemmy playing with the other dogs. Thanks for watching him, will use you again next time we are out of town and can't take our puppy. ”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 25 years and used to have two Yorkies and a Maltipoo — they were my babies! I naturally connect with dogs and treat every one as family. Friends often call me their dogs’ favorite pet grandma because I spoil them with love, gentle cuddles, and lots of attention. I create a calm, safe, and happy space where each pup feels understood, cared for, and truly at home. I recently moved from Ukraine to be closer to my kids and grandkids. I’m available throughout the whole week and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for dogs brings me joy, so I’m happy to spend quality time with your furry friends whenever you need — weekdays or weekends.h I have open front and back yards where I can safely walk your furry babies or take them for a relaxing stroll to the closest park. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they’re part of my own family.
About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs around me from childhood through adulthood. I feel like dogs are some of the most loyal creatures on earth that will love you unconditionally. Watching and identifying their various personalities, has been intriguing for me. My dog and I spend a lot of time together. We enjoy walks through Terry Hersey Park a few times a week. We also take the opportunity for him to socialize with others, once a week, at Bill Archer Dog Park. With that being said, even though I don’t currently have a yard, there is plenty of opportunity for any dog I am watching to enjoy taking walks and play time in the outdoors. I currently work remotely, so I have the time to care for your fur baby while you are away. I am looking forward to caring for and getting to know your fur baby! Working from home allows me the opportunity to watch and care for dogs on a weekly basis. Every dog that I board temporarily becomes my responsibility and receive the same level of care as my own dog. Due to limited space, I'm only able to board 1 or 2 dogs at a time. Even though I would love to watch more, it's rewarding to be able give the proper amount of needed attention to each dog.
“She took wonderful care of my pup! And her kids are so sweet with him, they even made him a card~ She also took wonderful photos of Jay to keep me updated. I was very grateful that Sylvia was super lenient with the last minute push-back pick up time. When Jay got back home, he was so tired and went right to bed. I'm sure he spent an awesome time playing around and being well taken care of~ 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve personally cared for my puppy since he was just a baby, and I trained him myself using positive reinforcement techniques. This has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency and patience. On Rover, I know pet parents are trusting me with a member of their family—and I take that seriously. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs playtime, structured walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and follow your care instructions closely. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and anything else your pup might need. As a proud dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand how much patience and care young dogs require. Whether your dog is full of energy, still learning, or just needs a little extra love, I’m here to support them like family. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family in a safe, loving, and secure environment. I live in a quiet space that’s perfect for anxious pups who need a calm and peaceful setting to feel at ease. I provide a clean, cozy area for your dog to relax and play, and I’m happy to share photos of the space ahead of time so you can feel confident about where your pup will be staying. For safety, I do not allow any strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. Since I work from home, your dog will always have supervision, consistent care, and plenty of love throughout the day.
“Lily hosted my bulldog puppy Maggie for doggie daycare and was responsive and sent pictures throughout the day. I was a little nervous at first about her husky Turbo being too high energy for my pup but he was totally calm and extremely patient with Maggie's intrusive puppyish bulldog ways.”

When l lived at my in laws I helped care for two puppers Luna, our energetic and super lovey dovey chihuahua and Misu (a rescue), the independent and energetic terrier mix. Through my experience with our pups and as a current teacher of super active children I am an energetic, observant, and patient person. I love to go for runs and walks so no matter how active the pup, they'll love taking a stroll in the park with me. If your pup has any special accommodations, I'm flexible to work with whatever you need. Due to my occupation my preferred method of contact from 7am-3pm is text messaging. After those times You can contact me via call. I look forward to working with you and your furbaby!
About: I'm a nurturing, detail oriented sitter. Your cat or dog will be happy and healthy during their stay or visit with me. I will re-create your pet's normal environment to the best of my ability to keep them calm and at ease. I currently work from home, so boarding is an option through the week and/or weekend. For dog walks only, I am available evenings after 6pm. I can help care for your pet in your home, and do any house sitting tasks as an added bonus! Safety is important to me, so please leave detailed instructions about your home. My clients comment on how much they trust their pups or feline friends with me!
About: Hi! I would love to take care of your special friend! I am home 24/7 so I will be able to attend to your fur baby and give them the love and care they deserve. I currently have a rescue, Savana and she will help me welcome any new friends into our home! I allow dogs in my home to free roam, and they are more than welcome on the furniture and bed. I know canine CPR/ first aid and can administer oral medications. I will go on 4-5 walks daily, either around the apartment complex or the neighborhood. We will also visit the Millie Bush dog park everyday. I do live in an apartment so at this time I will only be able to take small to medium sized dogs.
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
“Great experience, this was my first time having someone other than myself taking my pup out and Sheila worked with me on easing into getting to know him and getting him in a comfortable mindset. Sheila is very communicative and reliable and was giving updates when walking him, which I def appreciated. I would highly recommend Sheila!”
“Deanna took great care of my foster pup while I was out and about. She accommodated an overnight stay last minute, which really helped me out. I will continue to book with her ??”

About: What truly sets me apart as a dog care provider is the unique blend of my professional background, genuine love for canines, and a home environment (or visiting presence) perfectly suited for their happiness. As a tech professional working remotely, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility for all your dog's needs. This means more consistent attention, timely walks, feeding, and playtime, seamlessly integrated into my day. Whether it's energetic dog walks, stimulating daycare, cozy overnight boarding, or comforting drop-in visits, I'm adept at digital organization and methodical processes. This translates into meticulous care for your dog's routine, specific feeding schedules, medication reminders, or training reinforcement – think of me as a project manager for their well-being! My approach to all dogs is rooted in patience, positive reinforcement, and emotional intelligence, allowing me to quickly build trust and ensure their comfort. I understand that every wagging tail has a unique personality, and I'm committed to providing tailored care that respects their individual needs, whether they're a playful puppy, a senior needing gentle attention, or a shy rescue. Your canine companion will receive genuine companionship and a tranquil, attentive presence, no matter the service. My Flexible Work-From-Home Schedule Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine thanks to the flexibility of my full-time remote job. Working from home during weekdays, and sometimes weekends, means I'm able to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule allows for frequent breaks to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, ensuring your pet sticks to their routine and gets plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my start and end times to fit around specific needs, like early morning walks for energetic pups or late-night cuddles. This flexibility ensures that whether your pet is here for boarding, daycare, or I'm visiting them for a walk or drop-in, they receive the dedicated, hands-on care they need and deserve, without long stretches of being alone. Ensuring your pet's safety, building trust, and providing a positive environment are my top priorities, whether they're enjoying a stay in my home or I'm visiting yours. My approach is tailored to the specific service your pet needs. For Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare): My home provides a calm, clean, and secure environment where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed. Before any stay, I ensure all potential hazards are secured, and my space is thoroughly pet-proofed. I maintain a consistent routine that mirrors, as closely as possible, your pet's usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, minimizing stress and promoting a sense of normalcy. I limit the number of pets I care for at any given time to ensure each animal receives ample one-on-one attention and personalized care. I'm highly attentive to body language, ensuring all pets in my care are compatible and comfortable. For Care in Your Home (Drop-Ins & Dog Walking): When I'm caring for your pet in your home, respecting your space and maintaining your pet's established routine are paramount. Prior to my first visit, we'll discuss detailed instructions for feeding, medications, preferred walking routes, and any specific quirks or habits your pet may have. For dog walks, I prioritize their safety by always using a secure leash and harness, avoiding overly crowded areas if preferred, and being vigilant about environmental hazards. For drop-in visits, I ensure all doors are securely locked upon arrival and departure, your pet's feeding and potty needs are met, and I spend quality time engaging with them through play or gentle companionship. I'm also mindful of leaving your home exactly as I found it, only tidying up after pet-related activities. For All Services Open Communication: I believe trust starts with clear and consistent communication. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet's activities and well-being, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Emergency Preparedness: I'm familiar with local emergency veterinary services and will have all your vet's contact information readily available. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I'm prepared to act swiftly and decisively, keeping you informed every step of the way. Experienced & Observant: My years of experience with pets, combined with my attentive nature, allow me to quickly notice any changes in behavior or health that might indicate a concern. My background in quality analysis and methodical processes means I pay close attention to detail, ensuring all instructions are followed precisely. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and enriching experience for your beloved pet, giving you complete confidence in their care.
“My Molly girl had the BEST time with Andrea. She loved on her as she was her own. When we picked her up and drove home she crashed and burned. I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you Andrea 💛 for everything! !!”
“I have used her services several times for my fur baby. I enjoy the videos and pictures sent throughout his stay with her. She very loving towards my baby, and you can tell she is passionate. We love Jasmyne, she is awesome!”
“My fur baby had the best time with Yanaig and her fur babies! Yanaig sent me pictures and videos everyday to help ease my mind about leaving her with new people. She really seems to love dogs and was very friendly. She was also understanding of my fur baby's need for personal space until she became comfortable. That really meant alot to me that she was able to understand and then make sure my baby got her personal comfort space. I will definately recommend Yanaig to anyone who needs to find babysitting for their beloved fur baby.”
“Lorraine was truly wonderful with our golden retriever Chief. Our pup is a bit shy and he lost his brother in January ( our older chocolate lab). He's had a hard time adjusting to life without his brother around. But he immediately took to Lorraine. Her home is immaculate. She has a beautiful fenced in backyard. Lorraine was kind and loving with Chief. She walked him daily and he got playtime in her backyard. She sent us pictures daily of Chief enjoying himself and settling in. We could tell when we picked him up that he was perfectly comfortable at Lorraine's home. We will definitely use Lorraine again. Very grateful for her loving care. Rebecca”
