“Jeremy is a true professional! Came early and made sure my furbaby had everything he needed and followed his schedule to a T. I highly recommend Jeremy and his services and look forward to booking him again. Thank you Jeremy!”

About: My family has had dogs ever since I was born. I love pets and now that I’m older and all my siblings have their own pets, I often house sit and will feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I now have a cat with my busy travel schedule, but will drive an hour to go visit family since I miss having a dog so much. I am a remote worker so I can make time during weekdays to take breaks and take dogs out on walks. And I’m fully available on weekends. In my home I live in a condo with a gated in balcony and have one dog that does well with cats and dogs. For others homes I am happy to accommodate as needed.

“Sophia is a fantastic, warm, and inviting spirit. It was so easy being in touch with her and leaving the animals behind. I came home to a very happy dog and cat. And it’s all thanks to her. Recommend!”

Shiva R.

“Fallon did an excellent job caring for my 3 pups while we were out of town. She took great care of our place while she stayed there for 6 days, and sent lots of updates while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will use her again!”

Lindsay M.

“I felt so comfortable leaving my elderly doggie and puppy in the hands of Anita. She is sweet as pie and took such good care of them. She was so understanding of all the little things we do with the pups and adhered to their strictish schedules and regimens. Would absolutely have her watch the boys again.”

Laura M.

“We are so glad we met Julie! We previously had a bad experience with another Rover and was hesitant to try again but Julie has completely restored our faith in finding good help for our fur kids! Our kids were in Julie’s care during our honeymoon and we didn’t have to worry our entire trip. We were given updates, photos, and she even stayed vigilant when our dog food almost ran out and offered to go out and purchase food if the delivery didn’t make it in time. She was able to adhere to the schedules and activities discussed. Our house was left in the same condition it was in if not better. Julie exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to have her back!”

“We are so thankful that Antonia was available to dog- and house-sit for us when we went on a week long vacation. Gertrude very obviously loved her during the meet and greet and we were very comfortable that our home was in safe hands. Antonia sent pics and/or videos daily. Gertrude looked very happy and comfortable. Absolutely would not hesitate to book with Antonia again!”

Jennifer B.

“Shaina was terrific. She took care of my two cats. They were happy and adjusted when I returned from a two-week trip. The house was neat and tidy too.”

Kristen A.

“Jennifer is very responsible and conscientious. She was able to care for our 3 (not always the easiest) big dogs, communicates honestly, and in a timely fashion. She sent us photos, updates, and could manage our complicated routine. She is a trustworthy person, tries her best, and I feel comfortable recommending her.”

About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.

“Greg took great care of my dog and cat and house sat while I was away. I would definitely use his services again next time I travel. It was relaxing knowing they were at home and well cared for.”

“Whitney is a dog whisperer! Our dog is anxious around anybody but her immediate family & Whitney had her curled up next to her after one day. Absolute miracle. Whitney was very communicative the entire time and very respectful with our house. Thank you so much Whitney!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner of both dogs and cats, I have only known life with pets! Since I was very young, I was always the neighborhood "go to" pet sitter back when I lived back in Massachusetts. Often times, the pets will try to come running to me when they see me walking by the street/window even when their owner is there! Thankfully, I work remote and can bring my work with me anywhere! I work for the big TV industry, and I'm fully able to step away from my computer whenever I need and take care of: walks, cuddles, potty business, and more! Every pet sit that I do includes: cuddle time, attention, walks, pets, and play time. I follow your specific directions down to every word to ensure that all the physical and emotional needs of your pet are met!

About: ### 🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home ❤️ **Private doggy daycare and boarding in a calm, loving home environment—ideal for dogs who prefer individual attention over crowded daycare.** I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Your dog is family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I **work from home**, which means your pup gets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give each dog the individual attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. ### ❤️ Experienced, Loving & Trustworthy I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was a little girl and was a devoted dog owner for **16 years**. I personally cared for my senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and compassion that older dogs may need. I also have experience with **medications and special-needs care**, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions to help your dog maintain their normal routine. Over the years, I’ve also become a **trusted pet sitter for friends and their beloved animals**. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. And yes—I **LOVE puppies!** 🐶💕 I’m happy to provide the extra patience, playtime, supervision, and affection that puppies need. ### 🏡 Calm, Private & Personalized Care I intentionally offer a more personal alternative to traditional, crowded doggy daycare. Rather than putting your pup into a large group environment, I focus on creating a **comfortable, calm home-away-from-home experience** tailored to your dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest curled up beside someone, I’ll get to know what makes them comfortable. ### 🌴 Walks, Play & Beach Life I live close to the beach and absolutely love getting outside. If your dog enjoys walks, exploring, and getting some exercise, I’m happy to incorporate **walks and visits to local dog parks** when appropriate for their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions regarding exercise, socialization, and what your dog is comfortable with. ### 🐾 I Follow Your Dog’s Routine I know that consistency helps dogs feel secure, especially when they're away from home. I’m happy to follow your instructions for: • Meals and feeding schedules • Treats and favorite snacks • Walks and exercise • Potty breaks • Medications • Special-needs care • Nap and sleep schedules • Favorite toys and activities • Anxiety or behavioral considerations • Any special routines that make your dog feel at home ### 📱 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How They’re Doing I’ll keep you updated during your dog's stay and am happy to send **photos and videos** so you can see how your pup is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about your dog. Before your first stay, I’d love to learn about your dog— their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, sensitivities, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible experience. **Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own.** ❤️🐾 Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good fit. I'm currently freelance and work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible. I live a block away from the beach, so it is easy for me to take the dogs on walks to the beach. I have an apartment that was used to having a dog for many years! So, the dog would be in a very comfortable living situation where I could bring toys and bed and also keep a crate here if necessary.

“Stephanie took care of my elderly cats while I was away. I didn’t have any worries on vacation knowing my cats had company. I recommend Stephanie’s services.”

“Helen is fantastic! I went away for the weekend, and left my cats for the first time since I got them. I needed to find someone trustworthy, reliable and experienced to stay at my home. I saw Helen’s profile and I reached out. Helen responded right away and we set up a meet and greet. She has this positive energy that my cats could sense immediately. So we booked it. Helen’s communication was consistent and comforting. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend, which allowed me to focus on my time away and not worry about my boys. It was also a great way for her to show me that she was putting in the time and effort to give attention to them, and stimulate them. She not only took care of the cats, but she also had an amazing respect for my home and my things. Helen was always on-time and prepared. When I returned, it was obvious that my boys were sad to see her go. I’m pretty sure they like her more than they like me. ? I recommend Helen to anyone, and everyone! She gets 10 stars from me.”

“Elana has been an incredible dog walker and sitter. Super communicative and helpful. She looked after our home like our own and I would highly recommend her but also don’t want to lose her 😉. She gave Pepe meds and checked in at all points if unsure about anything. She is a keeper.”

Udesh C.

“Our dog has separation anxiety and not only did he not have any problems while we were away, but Suz also managed to get him to snuggle up on her after only a day of watching him. Suz was friendly, prompt, thorough, and attentive. She sent regular photo and message updates by text - being a new to leaving our dog for a few days, we loved to see that!! We would happily ask her to watch our shy guy again in a heartbeat.”

“Alexandra was really terrific with both of my dogs. She clearly cares about your pets and went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her again!”
