“Kari was an awesome selection to board our dog Mickey. She and her family happy and fun people and Mickey loved that. When we picked up Mickey he was a very happy boy. Tired from all of the play with Kari's family and dog. He is all tuckered out which is awesome for him. We will definitely have her to board our little boy in the future.”
“Alliyah did a great job with our girls! She’s sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She was on board with doing a meet and greet prior to booking which was a huge help. She’s got two sweet dogs of her own and knows just how to ensure new dogs are best able to acclimate to her home. Definitely recommend!”
“We cannot say enough about these guys! Their property is amazing! 24 hours after pick up and our dog is still exhausted from swimming and playing! We will definitely utilize them again!”
“I left my elderly dog with Brenda and am very pleased! This was my first time ever leaving her with someone I didn’t previously know, so I was nervous about it! Brenda, however, was awesome and took great care of her. She sent a lot of pictures and updates and stayed in communication with me consistently. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“It is such a relief to find someone to take care of my Posey with as much love and care as I do. Wendy is amazing and considerate. She takes the time to pre-meet and understand any key behaviors and needs. Her home is safe and secure and she allowed for the right space for Posey to feel comfortable. My girl is a little shy but she warmed up with Wendy and I know she felt secure with her. I would have no issue with Wendy watching her again. Added bonus that I received plenty of pictures of Posey relaxing or snuggling while I was gone. Wendy is A+!!”
“Joleen was great!!! Highly recommend!! When I dropped Ellie off she seemed so happy and pleased immediately with where she was. Throughout Ellie’s stay Joleen was great with keeping me updated and sending plenty of pics of how happy Ellie was with all of her new friends! I am very thankful that Ellie had such a positive experience.”
“Allison was an excellent communicator while coordinating our pup's day care and was absolutely flexible to help us with our out-of-towner schedule, and was wonderfully attentive to our pup during his stay. Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!”
“Marketa was AWESOME! She took great care of Maggie and I would greatly recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet in the Lynchburg area. We will definitely use Marketa on our next visit!”
“Layna and the family have always taken great care of my two fur babies. This time is no exception. Especially since one of my pups had to be given medications twice a day by syringe. She handled it like a champ especially since this was a last minute notification. She is my favorite sitter and she will always be my first choice. Highly recommended!!”
“She was great! Sent us lots of photos! And made sure our pup was happy the whole time!! Her son was also a sweetheart and helped take care as well! Will definitely have our dog stay with them again!”
“Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:”
“Jody took wonderful care of our pup! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter. Our puppy had an amazing time on her farm, especially enjoying the chance to play and socialize with the other dogs. Jody made sure he felt loved and well cared for every step of the way. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Very highly recommended! Chantal and her husband were great caretakers for our two dogs for a week’s time — even more than we could have expected. They have a beautiful, spacious, safe place — both indoors and for when they had to go outside. My husband and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them there while we were away. From the beginning during our meet-and-greet through pick-up at the end of our trip, we saw just how kind and calm they were, treating our dogs just like their own dog and providing lots of interaction and play. Also, Chantal was extremely accommodating of our 7 month old puppy’s “puppy behavior” and attentive to the need to go outside more frequently. She provided updates every day (and was very responsive to other questions) and we could see just how relaxed our pups were, as if they were staying with family. We are definitely planning on using Chantal’s services the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Falen and Dani were great. They have two adorable kids and a fenced yard. They had another dog they were dogsitting but one that was obviously very sociable and friendly. On top of it all, they were flexible on the pick up time. Would definitely recommend.”
“John is always sending great updates of our dogs with pictures. He keeps them busy with walks and play mats. The dogs are always excited when we get to John’s house like it’s their home away from home!”

“Abigail responded super quickly to a last minute request, and took wonderful care of my baby, sending updates and regular photos while I had to be away. :) I am so thankful to have found Abigail.”
“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”
“Was very happy with the service provided by Oleksandra. She was on time for the pet visits and took care of both pets as asked. Would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”
“If you truly want a sitter who will LOVE your furry babes and pick up where you left off, keeping them loved, safe and feeling safe every day, even during your lengthy absence….Laura is the VERY BEST! Our time away is completely peaceful knowing they’re in her loving care. Our hearts are filled with gratitude 💜”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a little girl, we’ve had cats since before I was born and I’ve taken care of many of my friends cats before. I wish I had my own but currently my landlord doesn’t allow it, but all the more reason I can love on your babies!
“Emma was awesome! She made sure to communicate every time she stopped by the house to feed and check on the pets. Our cat who doesn’t always like everyone was in love with her! So you know she has good energy. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Emma made sure we knew our pets were doing well and were comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with four dogs, so taking care of pups is second nature to me! Over the years, I’ve handled everything from basic training to feeding schedules and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Recently, I boarded an 8-week-old puppy for a couple of nights, and it was such a fun experience! I love staying active and going on walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure their routine is just right, I’m all in. I’m dedicated to treating your pet like family and ensuring they feel at home while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student at Liberty University, and all of my classes are online. I also work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is in reliable hands. I prioritize safety and trust when caring for pets, whether at my home or my client’s. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment where your pet can feel at ease, and I’m attentive to their specific needs, from feeding routines to any special care they require. I’m also very mindful of pet safety, making sure to keep an eye on their surroundings, whether it’s during walks or in the home. In your home, I treat your space with respect, maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize stress while you’re away. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for cats for over 17 years, and they’ve been a constant part of my life. I’ve owned and loved cats of all personalities—from shy companions to confident, curious explorers—and I understand their unique needs, routines, and communication styles. Whether it’s providing calm, gentle care or keeping an energetic cat engaged, I’m comfortable and confident with every type of feline. I truly love all animals, but cats hold a special place in my heart, and I treat everyone as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have entrusted me with their fur babies to walk, feed and bathe them. I have a pretty flexible job so I am available pretty much every day, multiple times a day! I can work with you and your schedule! I will care for your pets however you expect me to. I will love on them the best that I can! I adore animals and would love to watch yours!
About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!
About: My sister has had her cat since 2021. Though Cora is not technically mine, I treat her as so. I feed her when my sister forgets to, refill her water when it is running low, and love on her with no end. Pets and kisses and cuddles is something I give her freely. Additionally, my Aunt adopted a cat back in 2023. I have pet-sit her cat a handful of times, and every time I go over to her house I make sure to play with her cat until she is tuckered out!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets.

I’m available evenings and weekends for pet care, including walks and in-home visits. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your pet’s needs whenever you need support! I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all pets. Whether it’s in your home or during walks, your furry friend will receive attentive and caring supervision.

Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!
About: I have lived on a farm since I was 6 taking care of numerous animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, lizards and cows. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I previously worked at a dog groomers and have been pet sitting animals since I was in high school. I am a server at a restaurant currently so I have most of my day free to provide care for animals. I can also adjust my schedule pretty easily. I currently live in an apartment so boarding would be a little difficult but I have no problem visiting/staying at houses! I am also used to administering meds to animals if that would be an issue.

“Emily & Donnie accepted a last minute booking for my new puppy & I feel like I hit the jackpot! They were so nice, accommodating, & responsive. I received pictures & videos throughout the day, which made this pup mommy's heart smile ☺️ I couldn't recommend them enough. I will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve always had a pet dog. Our dog is older (10) but she is still energetic and loves other dogs! This will be a family effort to take good care of your beloved pet! I am currently home full time. I already care for our own pet so adding another would be seamless. Your pet is welcome to join my home! I have a backyard for them to run around in. It’s fenced but has some openings. I also have a lead leash for them. I will take good care of your pet - providing what they need and want.
“We left Sarge with Wendy for three days and he had a blast. He became buddies with one of her other clients and they went for walks together, played in the yard together and played with toys together. Once again he came home exhausted and that is a sure sign that he had a great time.”
“Falen hosted doggie day care for a shelter foster dog that we have. She was so accommodating for my schedule and even offered to keep him overnight since I would be dropping him off again the next morning. Thank you to Falen and Dani for a positive experience for both me and the foster dog.”
“Absolutely wonderful from the very first day. My little man can't wait to go to daycare every day! Chantal has a caring and and loving manner with dogs of all ages. HIGHLY recommend!”
“This is our second time booking Marketa for Cadence's daycare while we were in town for an event. She did a great job with her 2 years ago that I immediately thought to reach out to her again when we returned this year. Marketa is attentive and caring with Cadence and sent us photo updates of how she was doing. She got along well with the other doggos and even cuddled up to her on the couch. I never have any worries about Cadence when she stayed with her, and would recommend Marketa to anyone in the neighborhood. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was great with our 4.5 month old puppy. She took him outside enough that there were no accidents. Her dog and our puppy played endlessly. He slept great at night. This was his first time away. She was extremely flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“I picked this family to watch Boo for the day while I was in town visiting our daughter for her birthday and am happy I did. Heather and her son did a WONDERFUL job with her! We would definitely recommend them!”
About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life, and even spend time taking care of others homes and dogs as well. I love to get outside and be active seeing as I am a college athlete and have no problem running around with animals and caring and loving for them when you are not able to do it. I truly love animals and have such compassion for them that I love to take care of them. I am a teacher, and love to board dogs during the weeks. They keep me active in days that I am working. I would love to talk to you more about your dogs needs, I hope that we are a perfect match and I will be able to help you take care of your animals!
About: Since I was 8 years old I’ve been responsible for all sorts of animal care-dogs, cats, pigeons, you name it. I had two dogs growing up (so I have experience with puppy and senior care) and cared for the pets of my community, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats! I also volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter for four years so I’m comfortable caring for any pets with medical needs or trust issues. I’m in medical school, so I spend most of my days studying at home! I love to spend my breaks outside walking through the trails near my home, and there’s plenty of parks close by. I have years of experience with animal care that comes from my own personal past and my time volunteering at an animal shelter. I am willing to accommodate for your pet in order to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. Currently, I do not have any other pets in the home so if privacy is needed for your pet, they won’t have to share with a home pet!
About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life and have always adored learning about them and working with them. I will care for any kind of animal of any temperament and will provide an abundance of love, as caring for pets is very fulfilling for me and improves my mental wellbeing :) I am currently working as a vet assistant and will try to update my Rover schedule each month around my schedule at the vet. I am able to take pets into my workplace if you need me on days I work and are comfortable with that. I am extremely respectful of owners’ homes and will care for the pets exactly as I am asked to. I do not mind assertive or otherwise difficult temperament and will love them all the same. I will ensure to be constantly attentive and focused on meeting their needs and keeping them safe.

Since my schedule is very flexible, I can easily adjust my work hours and make time whenever your pets need me. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is something I enjoy, not just a job. my home, I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I also have three friendly, well-behaved dogs who love meeting new friends! If a quieter environment is needed, I can easily crate my dogs to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. I always focus on giving each dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog with her liter and one of her puppies was my best friend until he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. I currently have a sweet loving 9 year old black lab and a fun 3 year old labradoodle. I’m a stay at home mom who homeschools as well and play outside a lot with my children and my dogs. Anything after 6 pm I won’t be able to do considering I will be doing bedtime. I have a fully fenced in lot that has 2 dog houses and grass that is also shaded. I also have a crate and normally I am home and just let my dogs play as much as they want.
“Thankful to have found such a great pet sitter to watch my puppy for the day! I knew my pup Arlo was in good hands and he would have a great time. The cute pictures throughout the day were a bonus. It’s so nice to have a reliable, responsible pet sitter who clearly loves and cares about dogs. Thanks, Kaylee!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine my life without them! 🐶 I currently have two dogs who had to stay with my father in Ukraine because of the situation there and I miss them very much. Spending time with dogs here helps me feel calm and happy — for me, this is more about companionship and love than money. Because of that, I prefer to care for one dog at a time and give them my full attention. I’m attentive, gentle, and very mindful of dogs’ emotions and comfort. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved 💛 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m easily adjusting my day to a dog’s routine and needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)
About: I have taken care of all size dogs, I love all animals so I am not afraid of them and know that they need to gain trust. I am a nursing student at the University of Lynchburg, I would be honored to take care of your fur baby! Able to take last minute or short notice requests if need be. Able to walk them, check on them, give them medicine if needed. I love to play with them and fulfill the basic needs the owner has requested.
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also have experience caring for cats, puppies, and senior pets, ensuring they feel loved and safe while their owners are away. My goal is to provide the best care tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m available evenings and weekends for pet care, including walks and in-home visits. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your pet’s needs whenever you need support! I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all pets. Whether it’s in your home or during walks, your furry friend will receive attentive and caring supervision.
About: I've had pets my entire life and currently have a 12 year old pup who we love! Love taking care of animals and will make sure they get the attention they deserve! I work full time but have the summers off! Would have plenty of time to care for your pet and give lots of attention! Daily walks or overnight, my schedule is flexible to help! We do not crate our dog at home so I do not have a crate. I usually take dogs for long walks or I'm available to pick them up and walk them! Our dog is friendly with other dogs, but is older so doesn't have a ton of energy for play!
“Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!”
About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

“Alliyah did a great job with our girls! She’s sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She was on board with doing a meet and greet prior to booking which was a huge help. She’s got two sweet dogs of her own and knows just how to ensure new dogs are best able to acclimate to her home. Definitely recommend!”
“We cannot say enough about these guys! Their property is amazing! 24 hours after pick up and our dog is still exhausted from swimming and playing! We will definitely utilize them again!”
“Joleen was great!!! Highly recommend!! When I dropped Ellie off she seemed so happy and pleased immediately with where she was. Throughout Ellie’s stay Joleen was great with keeping me updated and sending plenty of pics of how happy Ellie was with all of her new friends! I am very thankful that Ellie had such a positive experience.”
“Allison was an excellent communicator while coordinating our pup's day care and was absolutely flexible to help us with our out-of-towner schedule, and was wonderfully attentive to our pup during his stay. Great first experience using Rover - I would recommend Allison for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter!!”
“Marketa was AWESOME! She took great care of Maggie and I would greatly recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet in the Lynchburg area. We will definitely use Marketa on our next visit!”
“Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:”
“Jody took wonderful care of our pup! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter. Our puppy had an amazing time on her farm, especially enjoying the chance to play and socialize with the other dogs. Jody made sure he felt loved and well cared for every step of the way. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Falen and Dani were great. They have two adorable kids and a fenced yard. They had another dog they were dogsitting but one that was obviously very sociable and friendly. On top of it all, they were flexible on the pick up time. Would definitely recommend.”
“John is always sending great updates of our dogs with pictures. He keeps them busy with walks and play mats. The dogs are always excited when we get to John’s house like it’s their home away from home!”
About: I have been caring for animals for a long time, whether I was pet sitting, working at a pet shop or working in a veterinary hospital. I have over 15 years of experience helping and taking care of animals. I love being around your fury friends helping them feel safe and loved while you are away. Working at a vet also taught me how to give animals their medications if needed. I love being able to pet sit because I genuinely enjoy my time with the animals and helping the owners feel comfortable that their pets are in good hands! Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to be hearing from you shortly! I have open availability, pet sitting is my full time job! Whether you need house sitting, a dog that needs one walk a day or 3, we can work something out! I can fit things around your schedule and to your pets needs, I give them all the gentle love and care they need while your away!
“Cody was a great listener to my husband and I about our pit/boxer. He is honest and so kind. I knew my Duke was in the best place! I picked him up and it seemed like he would have liked to stay with Cody!”
“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”
About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!
“Imani was wonderful—very responsive, understanding, and kind. She and her sweet little family took great care of my pups for a week in their house. My especially anxious dog warmed up to them immediately and both dogs seemed right at home. Will rebook and recommend!”
“Kasalyn was great! She took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
