Jacqueline made my business trip a success. Despite a last-minute booking and a change of days everything was professional, personal, and low stress. Juno had great fun with Clover and cannot wait to go back. Highly recommended!

Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!

My dog had a wonderful overnight stay! They were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I picked them up. Great communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in their hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

First, Jaliah is so kind. Nala had a good time and was definitely ready for a nap once we got home (until she thought about treats, lol). Nala and I look forward to booking with Jaliah again soon.

About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of pets since I was physically able to. I grew up in a household where taking care of animals was part of our everyday lives. My mom has worked in the animal field all her life and I followed in her footsteps until I had my first son 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. I started as a receptionist at my local animal hospital, moved on to a technician, and spent 4 years as a kennel supervisor until I moved on to emergency animal care. I understand whole heartedly that animals are more than just pets, they are family and will be treated as such when they are in my care. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.

About: I’ve had experience with animals at all ages and different breeds. I’ve had my golden doddle puppy in college for 2 years while playing division 1 lacrosse so I know the importance for animal love but I am also dependable, passionate, and trustworthy. I’m available 24/7 and I am very flexible and understand summers can be busy and unpredictable. I will work with whatever time works best for you and your animals :) I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own that loves company and is very friendly. I have creates if need be and also in a nice neighborhood for long walks :)

Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time. She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: ⭐️ Extremely flexible schedule - up to 4 visits per day ⭐️ Same day bookings available! ⭐️ Meet and Greet preferred ⭐️ Photos and updates included during visits ⭐️ 60 min drop in visits available ⭐️ 3 Day Cancellation Policy - Full refund if you cancel by 12pm three days before booking begins. Otherwise, you will receive a 50% refund for the first 7 days of the booking, and a 100% refund for all days after that. First of all, I want to thank you for considering me for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! My first priority is ALWAYS the care and comfort of my clients. For that reason, every visit will include frequent updates and pictures so that you don’t have to worry. I have my own senior pit bull, Peaches, who spends her golden years basking in the sun and taking naps on the couch. She is just about 13 years old and has been with us for 10 years. When she passes, she will be the third dog that we’ll have helped cross the rainbow bridge. I also had the joy of owning my first cat when I met my husband, but he passed about a year ago. Since then, there has been a space in my heart that only a cat could fill. My schedule is very flexible, so there is rarely a time that I’ll have to turn down a booking. I also never travel for the holidays, so I’ll always be in town. I have my own senior pit bull, Peaches, who spends her golden years basking in the sun and taking naps on the couch. She is just about 13 years old and has been with us for 10 years. When she passes, she will be the third dog that we’ll have helped cross the rainbow bridge.

About: Decades of loving on my own pets. Has an understanding of training as I’ve owned many dogs with different temperaments. Preschool teacher that understands patience and is nurturing and loves to play! Ideally, I would like pet care to become a full-time job depending on getting clients. I have a deep love for animals and have appreciated and used sitters from Rover myself. My schedule currently is very open and I’m looking for new clients. I have a fenced in yard and take walks on the beach at the bay. I do have fur babies of my own and they are very friendly if your dog needs socialization. If needed I can crate your animals if requested.

About: I have cared for dogs before the age of five and have continued caring for them during their early stages of life . While, maintaining their health and early development skills and training helping owners train about love their pets is also one of my skills I currently work from home so doggie daycare fits into my schedule perfectly. Which also give me the opportunity to work with more dogs and show them the love and care the they deserve. I have easily created a save environment for you dog and keep them safe and make them feel comfortable and welcome around in my home and during walks around the park and keep them entertained and active and happy.

Jacqueline did a outstanding job taking care of Lulu. My 20 month old golden retriever is high energy and she was outside throwing freebies and balls with her a many times during the day. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the day. The whole process was very easy and she was flexible when we needed a little later with pickup. We will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you Jacqueline 😊
