About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Love walking and sitting dogs. I get to dogsit for my family and friends often when they go on a trip which I love! I am an active person and love the outdoors which would be perfect to get your pup as my walking buddy. 🙂 I WFH with flexible schedule. I go for a walk a few times a day which would be perfect to walk your pup with me! 😃 most nights and weekends I am free also which would be perfect for date nights and weekend care. I do have a dog crate at my apartment if needed.🙂 I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, where plenty of space to walk. Nearby trails if preferred. My own place is clean and safe for pet care. ❤️ 🐕
“We were in town while traveling and needed someone to watch our dog while we visited New York City. Ruby loved visiting with Marisol and her family! She took excellent care of her! We knew Ruby had fun because she was so excited to go back the second day! If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely call Marisol!”

“Milo had the best time with Kiara and her dog Chase. Kiara was so loving with Milo and sent pics to keep me updated on Milo’s day. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to have Milo stay again.”

About: Hello there! 👋 I have been involved with my parents two pups for the past 8 years. I’ve watched them grow since they were 3mo. old and have experienced caring for post-op injury (double knee reconstruction) on one, and a mast cell tumor removal/chemotherapy/radiation treatment on the other. This has required taking care of bandage changes, feedings, bathroom breaks with a sling, many cuddles, etc. I have since added 4 additional dogs to my care along with 1 feline friend! *Please Note: 20% of earnings is taken by Rover - prices have been slightly increased to accommodate for this and increased expenses. THANK YOU for your understanding!!* NEW! Doggy Daycare: For ALL daycare/boarding clients, all dogs must be up to date on their vaccines. This includes: -Rabies -Bordetella -Canine Influenza (recommended but not required) *Proof of vaccinations will be required prior to drop-off.
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”

“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”

“Nathalia took great care of our Golden Retriever. She was very responsive and easy to communicate during the entire stay. I would recommend her to anyone in the area that needs boarding/doggy daycare services. 10/10 would book again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Kathleen was a life saver. We needed a pet sitter last minute after Petsmart cancelled our reservation a day before our trip. Kathleen responded quickly to our last minute request and helped accommodate us. She sent us so many pictures during the sitting assuring us our “first born” was safe and hanging out with her new friends. Our 12 year old Shorkie is very attached to us and normally shuts down around strangers but she seemed extremely comfortable and excited to hang out with Kathleen and her family. Thank you again so much!”

“This was my first time where my 13 month chocolate lab spent the day with Andres and she had the most amazing time. Andres was respectful, interactive, kind, and took great care of Maui. We look forward to meeting Shannon next week when we booked a second day where it will be a longer period of time. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Andres for caring of your loved dog. He followed as our actions when it came to walking, feeding and playfulness and the one main advantage we liked in their listing was that they had one on one time with Maui and he was extremely respectful of that. Thank you again for a wonderful sitting.”

“This was one of the best Rover experiences we have had! Jaclynn is just wonderful! We were visiting from Florida for a few days, and asked her to watch our little Sushi while we spent time with family. Not only is Jaclynn super nice, friendly and full of positive energy, she runs her business like a pro, which we really appreciated. I think most dog sitters love the dogs - but Jaclynn is clearly very knowledgeable and really knows how to care for her guests, and keep them happy and engaged. We especially appreciated the photos and her “report card” that filled us in on Sushi’s time with her. We visit NJ frequently and Sushi will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Jacki!!!”

“June was great while taking care of our pup. Kept us posted on all of the activities and shared pictures and videos. Molly looked like she had a blast with other Boston terrier June was caring for that day. Good experience. Recommended.”

“I am so glad we found Trista to take care of Tessie! Tessie runs to her when she gets there, has a large backyard to sniff around in, and gets a lot of attention while she is there. Its a happy place for Tessie!”

“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”

“Aleja was absolutely wonderful with Gus! From the moment we connected, she was kind, gentle, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Aleja made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a very happy pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Jennifer graciously agreed to host my puppy when I needed a sitter last minute. This was the first time we booked her - she was thoughtful, sent an update and pics and stayed in constant communication so I really felt at ease. My puppy seemed happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely book her again!”

Cadence had a lovely day at Marisol's house! Usually, she hesitates when entering a new place without me; this time, she was happy and willing to go inside with little coercion, which was a great sign. Marisol sent nice photos of Cadence during her stay and gave me updates. She's very pleasant and I think Cadence enjoyed her day at her house. Would definitely recommend Marisol to anyone in the neighborhood!

I was so nervous leaving my dogs with a sitter for the first time since I’ve never had strangers take care of them, but it turned out to be a great experience with Kathy. Kathy was kind, professional and kept me updated, send me a lot of pictures also which gave me peace of mind. When I came back, my dogs were very happy, well cared for, and even maintained to be clean- just like they were at home. I would DEFINITELY recommend and will be booking again.
