“Debbie and Adam were amazing! So happy I found them to pet sit my two boys. I received multiple pictures a day and could tell they were having a blast. Highly highly recommend them for pet sitting! Definitely will be booking with them again.”

“Our family Is so grateful to Joni for taking care of Liberty over thanksgiving holiday long weekend. Our lab can be a handful for someone not used to her antics of stealing food right from under you. I know Liberty was up to her usual tricks but Joni seemed to take it all in stride and even sent us texts & pics with updates which made us feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Joni is warm, friendly, kind, trustworthy and easy going -all the qualities you’d want in a dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again. 5 stars!”

“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”

“Michelle is absolutely amazing!! As soon as I got there i knew that Rocky was going to be well taken care of, loved and treated like their own. She was very welcoming, reassuring and kind. Will definitely book again!”

“Kelsey was awesome. She updated me with pictures of my puppy every day. She was very understanding and patient. This was my first experience using rover and I felt safe. 10/10 recommend.”

“Hailey was very good with our husky pup. She kept our puppy at her house for 6-days while we were on vacation. She communicated very well and sent pictures throughout our pups stay. It was nice to have a safe place for our pup to stay while we were on vacation. We will definitely being using Hailey again in the future!”

“Mikaela was great with Cashew and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of during our four-day trip. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when we had some unexpected travel delays, which was so nice of her! Will absolutely book again. <3”

“We’ve used them twice now to watch over our German Pointer and Rottweiler, and they’re great!! They have a big space to stay together in, and they get lots of exercise with all of the land they have available to them!”

“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”

“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Zachary! From the moment we dropped Elsa off, it was clear that he and his entire family welcomed her as one of their own. They took such great care of her while we were away and made sure she felt like part of the family. Zachary kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see Elsa happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time with them. Knowing she was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Elsa received and would highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl!”

“I am so happy I chose Lisa to watch my two 3 1/2 month old kittens! Both of my kittens were on medicine they had to receive every 12 hours and she had no issues administering them, even with my skittish boy that was receiving a liquid antibiotic through a syringe. She gave me plenty of updates (through photos, texts and video) and if she wasn't sure of anything she messaged me to confirm first. A+. I will definitely be coming back to her in the future! 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and understand just how much energy, attention, and love they need to thrive. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels happy and cared for. I’m also experienced in administering medications and injections, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs with specific health needs. My goal is to keep your dog safe, active, and loved—just like you would. I am currently in college right now. I am a commuter so I stay at home. I am always in between free in between classes as well as the weekends being completely open. I provide care that keeps pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I spend quality time with them through play, walks, and attention, while also keeping their space clean and stress-free. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. I supervise them closely, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and regular meals. I also have a 2 year old cat named Cairo that is an absolute pleasure to be around. He would love to provide your animals the company they might want.
“Absolutely loved Stephanie and Stanley! What a relief to leave our baby in a loving home for a few days while we attended a conference at Oglebay Resort and extended our stay to spend time with our kids and grandson from out of state for Christmas. Stephanie was wonderful about following Buddy’s normal routine and sending me photos and updates, so I’d know how well he was doing. Can’t thank her enough. Just wish she lived near me. Happy Birthday, Stanley!”

“Best pet sitter I have ever used. Highly recommend! Laken was extremely professional, very communicative with me, and cared for my cat Leo and his surroundings while I was gone. I will DEFINITELY use her services again. Leo loved her… he was very happy, healthy and content when I got back from my vacation. Leo has a new friend forever!! Thank you, Laken!”


“Jenn provided exceptional care for my two cats while I was away. She was able to administer insulin to my older cat, who typically doesn’t warm up to others, and handled it with patience and skill. Jenn kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in caring and capable hands. I highly recommend her services and will gladly book with her again in the future.”


“Shay was absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything she did for my little puppy! She was excellent with communication and letting me know any updates as I was having a hard time leaving my girl for a work trip!”


“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”


“Trish cares for my kitties like they were her own! She kept the cat stuff and house neat as a pin and watered my plants on top of that. She is loving and played with Raider and Buttercip and earned their trust. I would highly recommend her to anyone who worries about leaving their cats.”

“First time working with Jarett, he spent a lot more time than we expected him to just building trust and relationship with our dogs. He’s very prompt at communication and sending photos. Everything happened exactly how we asked him to.”


“Waverly was great with our kids, even our fussy one. She won her over. She took great care of the kids and was great communicating with us before, during and after. We'll be sure to book her again. Thanks Waverly!”


“Deeanna and Bev are amazing. They come once a week while I am living in my new grandson and I feel more than comfortable having them come over and take care of my 2 kitties. They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars. Much love from me and my kitties. 💜💜”
“Kelsey was excellent would definitely use her again. She did a wonderful job caring for my pets for an extended period of time. Received daily pictures that helped reassure quality of care. Many thanks Kelsey”
About: I will treat your family like my own! I grew up taking care of multiple cats, and have a special place in my heart for them - any minute I get to spend with a cat is a minute well spent. I also have years of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family. As a teacher, my afternoons and evenings are especially free and open. I am also open to finding time in the early mornings (before 7am) if that is your preference! I treat every pet with the care, love, and time that they deserve, while respecting the wishes and preferences of them and their owners. If there is anything you'd like me (not) to do, just let me know!

“Our 13 and 14 y/o high-maintenance kitties were so delighted with Kristie's care. They took to her right away which is definitely not common. She communicated with us well and understood our action-packed kitty schedule. We felt at ease while we were away for a weekend trip with Kristie at the helm!”

“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”


About: I have always had cats. I find them consoling and loving. I have always taken care of our cats since I was a little girl. Being the doctor or helping deliver their babies. Kitten are the best clowns and love to play.

About: While most of my experience is with dogs, I bring the same patience, gentleness, and respect to caring for cats, especially those who are shy, senior, or need time to build trust. I’m calm, observant, and always move at the pet’s pace to ensure they feel safe and seen.

About: Hi, I’m Kelsey! I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with 8 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and providing lots of affection and companionship. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.

About: Myself and my little boys are animals lovers. We would love to have your fur babies visit our little farm. We have a kitten, goats, and chickens. I work full time from home so I’m able to be tentative to all four babies throughout the days and weekend, daily play time is a must! We have farm family and two boys that will keep your babies active. It is not fenced in but our home is far away from the road with lots of room to roam

“Amber and her family took care of my puppy as if she was theirs. The pup was always happy to see them and a little slow to leave, which is a great signal that she was well loved. Thanks, Amber!”

About: I’ve owned a dog my entire adulthood, my miniature schnauzer that we rescued lived to be 15 & we had her 12 of those years. My current dog is a certified therapy dog that works with me. I did the training with her. I have a lot of flexibility with my work schedule & being home. If I’m at work my spouse is home. So one of us are usually home at all times. We have a friendly poodle mix & an enclosed/fenced in yard with a privacy fence. They will have free range of the house & frequent outdoor breaks for exercise. :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
“Deacon and Greta had a great first day with Angela! She sent us pictures of then and when I picked them up, they didn't want to leave! What peace of mind we have leaving our dogs with them, one of which is special needs, knowing they were getting so much love! We can't wait for their next stay!”

I also worked at a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I recognize the need for a clean and safe place for your pet that provides professional, proficient care and monitoring as well. I am currently a full time working mom. I have decided to offer my experience of caring for pets, because I have desire to work with animals. I would love to play with your pets and cuddle them while you are busy or working! I have availability for pet sitting some days during the week. I have a large, fenced (5 foot) back yard. I can crate your pet, if needed. I administer medications and feed at the required/designated times. Your pet will never be left for an extended (2+ hours) amount of time.
“We had a wonderful experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, making the entire process easy and stress-free. It was clear that our dog was well cared for and received lots of attention throughout the day. We picked up a happy, relaxed pup, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I’ve been around many types of dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, cats, and more. I’d love to give your pets the care they need and want, and definitely spoil them with some loving and treats (with permission). My work schedule varies but I’m very good with time management and I’d love to fit you into my schedule! My classes start back up in August so after that, my schedule will be more limited. I have a very big fenced in yard. I play with my animals regularly, feed them, clean up after them. I’d love to do the same with your animals.

About: I’ve taken care of mine as well as my friends and families since I was 12. My entire life my best friends always had 4 paws. I was even going to study about them but instead I enlisted for the Army National Guard. I know all the techniques about bathing, clipping nails, dressing them and training them, all just from personal experiences. Every dog I ever had was different when it came to training them, so I had to learn new ways. No matter the breed, size, personality, or color of your dog I will love them and care for them as I do mine! That I can promise! Honestly perfectly! I always wanted to make money doing my favorite thing, which is spending my time with animals. Plus my daily routine is normally just me going on runs, walks, being home doing school, or hanging out outside. Which all of that I can with the pets. Except school work obviously, but it’ll just be a little chill/nap break. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park down the street from that I take my dog to and yours as well. Which my puppy, Mj would absolutely love having a friend to play with no matter the size. Her two Best friends were a beagle and a Chihuahua, however they moved and can’t play with her anymore. I’m able to get them travel bowls, extra leashes, doggy bags etc to cary with me for safety incase anything is needed and/or anything were to happen. I would be open to sending pictures updating the parents throughout the day also. I don’t like to cage mine as well as others but if necessary I do have a cage if needed.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. Later in life, I became a cat mom. I currently have a Rottweiler and a torbie cat. These two are my world. I have delightfully cared for my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats… and a flying squirrel when needed. I love all animals and hope I can ease your mind caring for your babies while you are away from home. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. I promise to care for your babies as if they are my own. In my care, they will receive lots of love and maybe a little too much attention while following any guidelines you provide. We will spend time outdoors (weather permitting), walk, run, play and fetch to keep your loved ones stimulated mentally and physically. I am able to give medications, refresh food and water, clean litter boxes and other specifics as well. I love meeting dogs and cats of all personalities and can cater to animals who aren’t social. I hope you consider me to help care for your fur babies. I already can’t wait to hang out with them! Available every other Monday after 4:00 into the evening and all day Friday unless otherwise marked on my calendar. Please reach out if you are unsure about availability 🐶🐈 I have senior dog experience, can administer oral medications and can provide daily exercise. Please inform me of your dog or cat’s temperament so I can be sure to care for them appropriately. Please also provide emergency contact as well as vet information in case of an emergency.

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

What sets me apart is my online college schedule, enabling me to dedicate more time and attention to your beloved pets compared to other sitters.

With a fenced yard and other dogs, I ensure a safe environment. I wake up early to provide attentive care for dogs and cats without the day.
About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Aside from having a well-loved pitty for 8 years, I have lots of experience keeping animals safe and loved! My family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues all count on me to keep their furry friends happy while they’re gone! I am a graduate student so I’m always willing to take a break from my studies! I’m available pretty much any time for your pet! In your home, I will follow your direction and use my best judgement to keep your animal safe. I believe that play and love builds trust with an animal so I’d love to take walks and toss a ball or treats around!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I am currently a dog groomer and am around them every single day! I I do work full time but my job is only 2 minutes away from my house. I am usually off on the weekends and have more time to spend with fur babies. I have a fenced yard and 2 sweet dogs to keep your fur baby company and play with. If you would like your dog crated, let me know!
About: With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary tech training, rescue rehabilitation, special needs support, and behavioral management, I offer comprehensive, individualized care. I specialize in working with pets who need extra patience, medical oversight, and emotional understanding. Whether due to age, disability, or recovery needs. As a nurse, my schedule is balanced to allow ample time for the pets in my care. Your pet will never be left alone. My trusted partner and child are home full-time to ensure continuous supervision, love, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priority. I maintain a clean, secure, enrichment-focused environment designed to meet the needs of each individual pet. With specialized training in veterinary care, behavior management, and emergency response, I am fully equipped to handle special needs, post-surgical care, and customized medical support. When your pet is with me, they are treated like cherished family. Always loved, always safe.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.

“Our family Is so grateful to Joni for taking care of Liberty over thanksgiving holiday long weekend. Our lab can be a handful for someone not used to her antics of stealing food right from under you. I know Liberty was up to her usual tricks but Joni seemed to take it all in stride and even sent us texts & pics with updates which made us feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Joni is warm, friendly, kind, trustworthy and easy going -all the qualities you’d want in a dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again. 5 stars!”

“Jessica and Theodore took great care of Norton and he seemed to love all the attention from their four young children. They sent lots of pics and updates and I felt very reassured that he was in good hands.”

“Michelle is absolutely amazing!! As soon as I got there i knew that Rocky was going to be well taken care of, loved and treated like their own. She was very welcoming, reassuring and kind. Will definitely book again!”

“Kelsey was awesome. She updated me with pictures of my puppy every day. She was very understanding and patient. This was my first experience using rover and I felt safe. 10/10 recommend.”

“Mikaela was great with Cashew and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of during our four-day trip. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when we had some unexpected travel delays, which was so nice of her! Will absolutely book again. <3”

“We’ve used them twice now to watch over our German Pointer and Rottweiler, and they’re great!! They have a big space to stay together in, and they get lots of exercise with all of the land they have available to them!”

“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”

“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Zachary! From the moment we dropped Elsa off, it was clear that he and his entire family welcomed her as one of their own. They took such great care of her while we were away and made sure she felt like part of the family. Zachary kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see Elsa happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time with them. Knowing she was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Elsa received and would highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and understand just how much energy, attention, and love they need to thrive. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels happy and cared for. I’m also experienced in administering medications and injections, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs with specific health needs. My goal is to keep your dog safe, active, and loved—just like you would. I am currently in college right now. I am a commuter so I stay at home. I am always in between free in between classes as well as the weekends being completely open. I provide care that keeps pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, whether they’re in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I spend quality time with them through play, walks, and attention, while also keeping their space clean and stress-free. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. I supervise them closely, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and regular meals. I also have a 2 year old cat named Cairo that is an absolute pleasure to be around. He would love to provide your animals the company they might want.
“Absolutely loved Stephanie and Stanley! What a relief to leave our baby in a loving home for a few days while we attended a conference at Oglebay Resort and extended our stay to spend time with our kids and grandson from out of state for Christmas. Stephanie was wonderful about following Buddy’s normal routine and sending me photos and updates, so I’d know how well he was doing. Can’t thank her enough. Just wish she lived near me. Happy Birthday, Stanley!”

“Bryanna and Devin were amazing. Trevor had a very good stay and was treated very well. He came back calm and happy and rested and I am sure he cant wait to visit his new friends again.”

“When I had to leave a special needs dog to take a quick business trip, Ashley’s skills and background really stood out. I was able to get away while knowing that my dog was safe and loved. The entire family went above and beyond to make sure that he felt that way too!”

Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime.
