Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!

Claire always takes wonderful care of babies but did an absolute wonderful job taking care of them the whole week we were on vacation. She even vacuumed up some of the cat litter which of course is not needed but very nice! We continue to always use her for our cats needs! Thanks again Claire!

Kaitlyn is the sweetest caretaker! She always is so positive and provides excellent care and attention to our dog. She takes her responsibilities so seriously and her reports of her visit are informative and reassuring. We are so grateful for her excellent care while we are away. Our dog is so fortunate to be able to spend time with her!

About: I love dogs! I've been fostering dogs with The Bond Between, formerly Secondhand Hounds, for over 5 years. I used to have 2 of my own, a Miniature Poodle and a Shih Tzu, but they both died in June of 2019, one week apart. They were both 15 years old. Ever since then I've been fostering and it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Through fostering I've received obedience training and learned numerous tips and tricks for helping dogs to be successful and to find their forever home. I've learned about leash reactivity and how to avoid it, how to do loose leash walking to avoid pulling, and how important it is to keep them looking to me for direction. I've worked with shy, fearful dogs as well as easy going "I love everybody" dogs. Play time and cuddle time are my favorite things about being with dogs. My own personal preference is to let dogs on the couch with me and sleep in my bed at night. But I've done a bit of dog sitting for former foster dogs and fully respect the new owners’ expectations and boundaries. My goal is to do what makes you and your dog happy. I live alone in a townhouse so there are only my foster dogs and no children in the mix. I have a small front yard so all outside time will be on a leash and/or on a walk. I can't wait to meet your dog! NOTE: My 10% rating for sending photos is a bit misleading because I send them to personal cell phone numbers for convenience, therefore they don’t get tracked. But 100% of my clients receive photos and videos multiple times per day. I'm currently working a full time job from home, so I can attend to your dog's needs throughout the day and my break times are very flexible. I'm pretty much a home body, enjoying as much dog time as I can get! My house is set up for dogs more than people! I have area rugs down for senior dogs that have a hard time walking on a smooth surface. I have a small gated pen set up for separating dogs during feeding times and I gate off the stairs to go upstairs unless I'm up there with the dogs. I also have 2 crates with the doors open if a dog wants their own small safe space. I supervise all eating times and always put dogs on a leash when outside. I have multiple dog beds and comfy sleeping spots throughout my house.

About: Experienced dog owner for over 10 years ranging from various temperaments to special needs (i.e. administering medication). All dogs deserve time outside and loving care. I work full time with flexible schedule. Currently available for walking and quick visits in the mornings and evenings on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I require an initial meet and greet to ensure you and your furry family member and I establish trust and learn about each other as well as any special needs. For walks owners need to provide leash (non extendable), collar or harness, and muzzle if necessary (for reactive dogs only). For quick visits, I will work directly with you to create a plan for how to take care of your loved one while you are out.

She was fantastic! Timely replies and so many pictures! I could tell my dogs were always happy to see her and even after I came back, they were still looking for her and expecting her to come hang out with them. I cannot recommend her enough! If I need to book through Rover again, I will always see if Cora is available!
