“This was the second time I have trusted Amber to board my dog for several days. She is a great sitter, Amber sends pictures and notes every day. I would choose her again.”


“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie is amazing!** Stephanie took care of my dog Max for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Max felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Her home was clean and safe, and Max came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Audree is amazing! She's kind and clearly loves pets. Before our visit, Audree asked key questions as she wanted to understand our needs and the needs of our pup. She sent photos and videos of our pup throughout her visit. When it was time to pick up, Audree had our pup packed up, ready to go and the BONUS was that our pup smelled AMAZING at pick up! :) I would highly recommend Audree to anyone looking for a safe, secure environment for their pets.”

“Exceptional Pet Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and highly responsive. Her communication was perfect throughout the entire stay—she kept me constantly updated, asked great questions to ensure Winnie had everything she needed, and went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could help with around the house. The photos she sent on a regular basis brought so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda! Highly recommended!”

“What can I say? Holli is simply phenomenal! This was our first trip away from the boys and there was some trepidation on our part. We booked Holli for a familiarization visit before our trip. She was outgoing, interactive and all about getting to know Vincent and Jules. We booked 2, hour long visits each day, morning and evening. Holli arrived, took care of the boys, spent time playing with them, ensuring all their needs were met and provided updates and pictures of each visit. Jules is the shyest of the two and it took a couple visits, but he was warming up to her. Thank you Holli! You are superb and we greatly appreciate your taking care of our furry family members. You are our go-to for any and all future Rover needs.”

“Ligia was awesome! Our cat loved her. She is kind, reliable, and is a great communicator. We felt comfortable while away knowing that our fur baby was well taken care of. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Jessica is amazing!! My cat is a little shy but she won him over right away. He was so excited to see her every day (and not just because she was there to feed him). She always stayed the whole visit time with him and gave him attention and pets and play time, and her updates made me feel so much better while I was away. We’ll definitely be asking Jessica to watch our boy if/when we go away again.”


“Katherine took great care of our Sally. Communication was excellent and she followed instructions well. She is reliable, we look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend.”

“Sara was terrific, as usual. She sent daily reports, with photos, of my cats. She was also responsive to questions. She even brought in a couple of packages that arrived while I was away. Will definitely book with Sara again.”


About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!

“Mary is amazing! We have kittens that are not socialized and hide whenever anyone comes to the house. Mary was able to gain their trust so that she would see them and assure us that our kitties were doing well. Will definitely book Mary for future trips!”

About: I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and patient with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care and comfort.” 🐾 Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day while keeping up with their regular routines. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and regular updates so pet owners can feel confident that their pets are well cared for and comfortable while they’re away.

“Bianca and Nicholas were great! They took wonderful care of our cat and plants, sent great photos, and were really communicative. I would absolutely recommend them, and plan to hire them again when we travel in the future!”


“Stephanie has been with us for the past year and a half and we have certainly enjoyed her as our sitter. Both Fenway and I will miss her so much. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I love walking, and am happy to exercise your pup! I have been trusted by many to walk, feed and water, bathe, and, most importantly, love their pets while they’re away!! I am currently working full time from 7am to about 2/3pm. Therefore, I am available to stop by in the afternoon to care for your pet. I am very accommodating to how you choose to care for your pet.

“Ligia is the best. She’s very accommodating and great with my dog. She communicates well and provides updates throughout the day. I 100% would recommend her for anyone that needs daycare for their pet.”

About: Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days. I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time. I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!
“Linda and family took great care of Layla. She stresses easily in her old age but not at all stressed with them. They communicated with me several times during her stay and even sent pictures. Highly recommend!”

“We were near Fredricksburg for the the weekend and we wanted to go eat at the restaurant so we found Kindall; luckily she was only 4 minutes away from where we wanted to dine. We were able to drop him off , Kindall greeted us outside and Spider felt comfortable right away with her. We felt at eat ease leaving him for about 2 hours. We were able to enjoy our meal without having to rush and even went shopping after. Kindall kept us updated by sending us photos and communicating. We did not have to give her anything as she said she would give him her own treats. We will highly recommend and use Kindall in the future again, she was very sweet and patient with spider.”

“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”


“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”

Im available for boarding during the week and weekends. I have my own dog and my kids love having new fur friends around to play. My house is not fenced in but I do have a big yard, I have a crate if needed and a lot of space in y home.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 4 years old. Ranging from big to small. I am very good with animals and love going on walks. I currently go to college locally. I work a part time job but I have a lot of free time. I have a very open schedule I don’t have a fence because my dogs are trained to stay in the yard, so I go on walks with dogs I sit. I have stayed in peoples houses while their on trips and watched and cared for their animals. Make sure they eat and go on plenty of walks, but also make sure they get some love.
“Sarah is wonderful with my dog Fern! She took the time to introduce her 2 dogs to Fern before daycare started. I could tell Fern had a great time! Definitely will be staying at Sarah's for future visits!”

“Susannah is amazing! She was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She fed my pup with her pup's food because I completely forgot to pack his. She walked, played and kept me updated on my puppy. Gus gets a wiggle butt when he sees Susannah and her pup. She's been so great to work with.”

“My dog Diego had never been in doggie daycare before and I was nervous to leave him. Also being a puppy, I felt bad knowing he doesn't always know his strength and when to go out. He was evidently a good dog, and I didn't have to come get him early. I highly recommend Eldeen!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day.

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”
