Leanne is the best. She took such good care of Duke and always sent pictures and updates on him. Took good care of his eyes and made sure he had plenty of time with her. She was such a huge help to me since I had to leave in such short notice. Thank you so much ??

As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.

Cheryl was great to work with. She kept me informed on what was happening and was easy to communicate with. I would book her again for any care I would need for my animals.

About: I’m calm, consistent, and animal-focused, with lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats. I have been a kennel technician and have also worked at a zoo and an animal sanctuary, which has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and low-stress care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I 2ant to be open about my schedule because I want to make pet care my main source of income. I have a full time job so as of right now i can only do some bookings. I get off work at 4:30 pm. I want to plan my days around caring for animals and keep things consistent so pets get calm, reliable care without being rushed. I provide calm, consistent, low-stress care in both my home and clients’ homes. I follow routines closely and give pets the time and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. Three dogs that are amazing with other dogs.

Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

Hilary took great care of Onigiri. During the drop in visits, she made sure he had plenty of food and water, cleaned up his litterbox, played with him and took him on walks. The visits were timely and the pictures were wonderful!

Making friends with a rescue dog who became a tripod due to abuse is not an easy task, but Delia was up to the challenge! With the help of some treats, they made friends and we felt safe leaving Tigger in her care for our vacation. Communication/pictures were provided daily and he was well cared for in our absence. We will rebook with Delia.

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have spent years caring for my own, including both senior and medically fragile dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life—from energetic companions to seniors needing extra patience and gentle handling. I also have experience with anxious dogs and know how to approach them calmly and respectfully to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule and I am available throughout the day and most weekends. I can check in multiple times and provide multiple walks if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with anxious or senior dogs, and I pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they feel safe and secure. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and keep dogs on leash at all times unless instructed otherwise. For drop-in visits, I make sure doors are secure, pets are safe, and everything is left just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

I love teaching her new tricks and commands. I love going on walks and snuggling up with all the fur babies. Trust be when I say I will take care of you baby as my own and my dog is my whole world I am a night shift nurse so I'm home all day and off 4 nights out of the week. I've had a dog the whole time I have been a nurse so I'm very used to getting up during the day and caring for her and switching my schedule I have a lab who loves other dogs, she is fixed so no need to worry about babies. I am happy to allow your dogs on the furniture or in the bed or however you do things at home. I'm also comfortable with crate training if that is your preference!

About: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)

Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.
