“Am very happy with Melvin's first stay at Hidden Gem. He is extremely bonded to me and I worried he would not do well. He had a blast! My concerns faded when Jason sent the first photos of Melvin with the other dogs in his care. It was clear he was enjoying himself and was comfortable. Wi do it again!”
“I was very happy to meet and greet with Bianca. I was nervous but comfortable at the same time, leaving Jeremiah with her. She kept me abreast of his day by sending me photos throughout his stay. I was all smiles and excited to see him so comfortable and making new friends. I plan to conversate with her again about future visits for Jeremiah. I am very pleased with her love and concern for him and myself and already speaking to others about referrals.”

“Marleny's service was excellent. She was sensitive to our older dog's needs and responsive to the younger one's exuberance. Thanks to Marleny, we were able to leave the "children" in a safe location and see our grandson play in his first college football game. We got to reunite with family whom we haven't seen since well before COVID. Marleny loves dogs and has a big fenced yard. She was flexible about timing, too....you can't predict how long it will take to get out of the stadium or find a place to eat when you're not familiar with an area. We will leave our dogs with her anytime we visit Easton. And a word of praise to Rover.com for making it possible to find and book a reliable pet-sitter from many miles away.”

We were visiting from out of town for graduation, and Jazmin worked around our schedule to care for the dogs, sending photos and updates throughout the day.

Thank you Jazmin for helping to make our graduation day such a success.”

About: My husband and I were both raised with dogs. I also worked at a vet clinic in the past and learned a great deal about cats and dogs from my experience there. Additionally, my husband was raised on his family's sheep farm. The farm had sheep along with alpacas, chickens, cats, and dogs. I worked on their farm for about 3 years when we lived there while saving for a home of our own. We have a small friendly Yorkshire Terrier. We also have a 5-year-old who loves animals of any kind. Kid-friendly pets only please :) We live on a 2-acre lot with plenty of room for your fur baby to play. We keep a close eye on any animals in the yard for their safety as our yard is not fenced in however our house is off the road. Our house is pet friendly. We'd love to cuddle your fury baby when you can't. :) I'm currently working part-time from home so I will be hanging out with your pup most of the day. If I need to go in to work, it is only 15 mins from my house so I can always run home to let your pup (and mine) out. :) We have a 3-acre lot. There is room to run and play. In the house, we allow pets on couches and beds. We will do our best to make sure your pup is comfortable during their stay with us.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since 2008. I do neighborhood dog walking/feeding, and provide companionship for animals when their humans are away. I adopted a cat in 2021 who had health issues (stable now!), so I’m able to administer medication as well. I am learning about pet health daily and enjoy educating myself on animal wellness. I currently have a kitty, Jax, and a Golden Retriever puppy, Kona! 💕 We have a fully fenced in yard as of March 19th 2025. Kona LOVES to play, so we would be happy to take on one - two active dogs for daycare during the work week. They would not have full access to the entire home as we do have a cat, but would have a full large fenced in yard, and den/ living room area to spend time in. I firmly believe in treating any animal like they are my own. I am a passionate pet owner with my little guy, Jax, and my girl, Kona, and I expect the best care for them. I would provide to your fur babies with the highest standard of care and love. I’m working full time at home in a sales position. I have flexibility in the morning before 8AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5pm in the evening. I believe in quality time with pets while their owners are away. I provide care, cuddles, feeding, medication distribution, and extra pets to my fur friends!
“Moxie had a great time with Amanda! We can tell because she came back so exhausted from the fun time she had with all her new furry friends. Amanda was very responsive leading up to and during Moxie’s stay, and she sent us updates with photos throughout the day. We were a little anxious leaving puppy for the first time with a sitter, but Amanda made us feel very comfortable with the whole experience. I’m not sure how often we will need a pet sitter, but we’ll definitely think of Amanda if we need one!”
“Another great visit, Kim was available on less than a week’s notice to watch my Jamocha for an entire day while we visited my son at college. Her care is always first rate and you won’t wonder what’s happening while you’re gone because you get tons of pics and updates. I’m pretty sure Jamocha almost decided to stay 😁 at the end, she lives her time with Kim’s dogs who are now her buddies!”

“Danielle has always had a special relationship with animals. As a little girl, any animal would just gravitate to her, and she has a aura about her that makes them very calm when Danielle is with them.
