“Once again another awesome stay with John and Kate. Max comes home stress free and well exercised. Kate does such a great job sending updates and photos. We’ve already booked our next visit!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Kyle. He cared for our pup so well and was a prompt communicator. He sent updates while we were away including several photos. We’d definitely recommend Kyle and would book with him again!”
“Bill went above and beyond taking care of our dog. Lots of walks, treats and snuggles. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos. Bill has great, positive energy. We will be sure to use him again.”
“Cassandra and Eric were incredible! Super communicative and it seems like our dogs really became a part of their family. They will be my first choice next time we need a sitter.”
“Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!”
“Brittany was awesome watching our dog, Scooter. Scooter is an old dog- doesn't see or hear well and she was very patient with him. She sent us daily pictures and updates on how he was doing. Will definitely reach out again!”
“Kj showed a great deal of patience and kindness in caring for my very anxious little pup. I am impressed with her positive energy and perseverance in building a trusting relationship. I will book with her again and have already reserved an extended stay during an upcoming family vacation.”
“There is no ranking high enough for Dee Dee (& family)!! We were worried we wouldn't be able to find someone to take our dog as she has hind leg paralysis and uses diapers. Dee Dee was willing and able. Through pictures and text we saw the unbelievable love & care that was given. Our "Pixie" was loved and cared for beyond any of our expectations. Dee Dee gladly did all the extra work to care for our "handicapped" dog. "Pixie" absolutely loved it here! We would board here again in a heartbeat! This is one exceptional "dog boarding family".”
“From start to finish, Natalie was everything I could have asked for in a Rover sitter! I have a very nervous rescue dog and Natalie went out of her way to help her feel as comfortable as possible. I also made a scheduling error and at the last minute needed to drop off my dog a day early. Natalie was so flexible and made it happen. Natalie sent pictures and even videos of my dog happily snuggling and playing with other dogs. I felt great about leaving my dog with Natalie. I'd absolutely use her again!”
“Katy was absolutely fabulous. We are new to the area and were looking for someone we can use in the future too. She sent great updates, gave our pup all the love and belly scratches, and gave him long walks. We will definitely reach out again!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Yuliya made sure all of our questions were answered and took good care of our Coco. It was great to get the daily updates and photos!”
About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. First time using Rover? Click on the link for $20 off! Happy you are here! https://www.rover.com/sit/jinaeb95494 Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.
“Louie had a great stay with Logan! She sent pictures and updates, and he came home tired and happy to see us. Her large, fenced yard is perfect for dogs and her dogs are friendly and accustomed to visitors.”
“Excellent experience. We left our Boston Terrier with Ashley and Christian for a long weekend. We received regular updates including pics. We will definitely use them again.”
“Scout was so excited when we arrived for his 2nd stay. He knew he was going to have lots of fun playing and be taken great care of. Scout came home tired which is a great sign, and happy. Highly recommend Jessica!”
“Bini and Saurav are our first choice when we have to leave our dog Quimby. He loves going there. They are great at sending updates. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times too.”
“Our 12 year old Westie, George, recently stayed with Joe for the first time and had a blast! George loved his one on one attention and Joe’s awesome (& huge) fenced in backyard. We will absolutely book Joe again!”

JinAe B.
“I can’t say enough good things about JinAe. She took care of my senior, blind dog who wears diapers—and she handled everything with incredible kindness, patience, and professionalism. From the start, she was attentive to all of my dog’s special needs. She took the time to understand his routine, his comfort items, and how to properly change his diapers. I received regular updates and photos that reassured me he was not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It was clear he felt safe and calm in her care. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with an older pet, especially one with extra needs, but JinAe went above and beyond. I came home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone—especially if you have a senior or special-needs dog. JinAe is a rare find!”
