“What an incredible sitter. Kept me *very updated* with three to eight pictures at a time every few hours , and SO many videos… felt like I never left my puppy’s side. I was so at home with them; I always knew what Theo (my dog) was up to, and they never left me in the dark. Incredibly communicative, they have a late fee for picking/dropping off if you miss the set time, but they extended my pickup time and even explained to me how to set a window instead of just a hard pickup hour after I explained and communicated my travel issues. My dog smelled great when I got him back ?? Love this , huge difference from our last experience where I immediately had to bathe him upon receiving him back. Jasmine gifted me a framed photo of my sweet boy, as well. - They had lots of toys for my dog to play with. - Their dogs played with mine; they had very socialized pups. If your dog is one that enjoys playing and/or needs to be exercised, these are the people to go with. - Their apartment was very clean, and the yard that the dogs played in looked lovely, too. My dog’s paws tend to get very dirty outside, but they were very clean when I inspected them. Overall, a wonderful experience. These are now my permanent sitters. Love you guys.”

“Esmeralda was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and our dogs did not want to come home because they had so much fun! We will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”

“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”

“And was actually incredible with our baby. Her boys loved her and gave her a nickname, and Ann sent pictures and updates every single day. And at pick up, my baby looked even better than when I dropped her off! She was clean, brushed out, and very happy! I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I felt safe during my entire vacation because I knew my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Ann in the future!”

“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”

“Nikki has kept my senior dog while I went out of town for 2 long trips. She sends regular pictures and updates throughout his stay, which helps me feel more comfortable being away from him for an extended time. I appreciate her taking care of my dog when I can’t and loving him like one of her own.”

“Callie is the best! She loves my dogs like her very own babies and it shows! She is an incredible communicator and so loving to them. You can see they get tons of play and outside time through every picture she sends!”


“Laurie was extremely helpful and accommodating for our weekend trip that got delayed and pushed back. Can’t thank her enough for taking care of BLU!”

“This was the 2nd time Piper has taken care of our Marlo this year. He's always in good spirits when we pick up. I think he gets more spoiled over their than at home.”


“We were nervous to leave Benny for the first time but Allie and her family were great and took wonderful care of him! He had a great time playing with their dog Chipper, who is so friendly and seems like he gets along with any dog! So thankful we found them and would highly recommend! Also, received pictures and updates which was so nice!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful with Belle! She sent lots of pictures with Belle looking very happy and “at home” in each one. That definitely helped to relieve any stress of leaving Belle. I definitely recommend and will be using Katie in the future ?❣️?”

“Ashley and Weston are very good at pet boarding. We left our 18-month old Vizsla with them overnight. He is a ball of energy. They knew what they were getting and handled it without incident. Will use again. Highly recommend.”

“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”

“Corey was wonderful and saved our bacon when we needed a dog sitter because our son needed surgery out own town. Our old pup has been sacked out recovering from all the play and yard time. I know Lucas enjoyed his stay and his humans definitely appreciate Corey's service and accommodation of our schedule.”

About: Hi, I’m Paula! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a complete softie for pets, and I do everything in my power to make sure every dog or cat in my care feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. At home, my family includes two American Bullies and one cat, so I’m very comfortable with multi‑pet households and all the energy, personality, and joy that comes with them. I have a special love for bully breeds, but I truly enjoy working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Because my own pets have needed medication in the past, I’m experienced with administering medicine and keeping pets calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s daily routines, special instructions, or extra cuddles, I’m attentive and committed to giving each pet the best experience possible. My home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Medal of Honor Park—perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time. I’m also only about 15 minutes from Hophounds, the dog park/bar, which gives me even more options for fun outings when appropriate. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to care for your furry loved ones. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my everyday life. With two American Bullies and a cat at home, my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m used to managing different personalities and schedules, so adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. Throughout the week, I make time for morning and evening walks, enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping up with any medications or special instructions. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it never feels like an extra task—it’s just part of how my days flow. Whether it’s daily check‑ins or longer stays, I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent, loving care. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet‑friendly environment. I have two American Bullies and a cat, so I’m already used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to—regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and plenty of affection. My home is in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from Medal of Honor Park, which makes daily walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel secure while their family is away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and litter care to walks, medication, and any special needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, extra playtime, or simply offering calm companionship. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I do with my own animals
Woodlawn dog parents share their Rover experiences
Karlene was the best! This was the first time me and my dog being apart for a long time (10 days). I'm very protective so this was a huge step for me! Karlene made sure to send me pictures daily and kept me updated on everything. When I picked up my baby, I can tell that she really enjoyed her time with Karlene, and that she was well taken care of. I travel for work and feel much more comfortable and less anxious with leaving my dog with Karlene! We can't wait to visit again! Thank you
We are so appreciative of Danielle taking Chad and Becky for 11 days while we joined family for vacation. We are new to the area and going hours away, but Danielle made us feel comfortable that our pups were in experienced hands. Danielle helped us out and took great care of Chad and Becky. She also did a great job grooming them before we picked them up! .

Brenda was wonderful and attentive. She sent updates and photos throughout Doug’s stay. She provided a quiet and calm atmosphere which was perfect for him. I could tell he was very well taken care of and she gave him plenty of attention. I would love to use her services again.
