About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!

“Anthony was a great host for our pup! He was extremely flexible in terms of our drop off time, and understood that we were looking for someone to just take Lucy for a half day rather than a full over night so that we could enjoy a day at the beach. Lucy genuinely didn't want to leave, and jumped out of the car to go back up the steps to the front door - so a glowing review from our pup! We'll absolutely look to use Anthony again when we're on the island, and have already recommended him to our friends and family in the area. Thanks again for looking after our pup!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. Doodles preferred and non shedding dogs due to my son’s allergies please. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.

About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs and different animals for as far back as I can remember as a little girl. I’ve always had a deep and intense love for furry friends. I’m currently available at all times for the time being because I am not employed as of right now. Last minutes are not an issue ! I don’t have a fence in my yard for the time being. I had an invisible one but my dog unfortunately passed away and we got it removed after. I currently don’t have any animals

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who experiences seizures, and my senior cat, whom I lovingly cared for through his final years. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding that every pet has their own needs and personality. My passion for animals has also led me to pursue extensive academic and hands-on experience. I studied veterinary medicine throughout high school, completed an intensive summer program at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, earned a biology degree, and most recently interned rehabilitating New Jersey wildlife. I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing concerning symptoms, administering medications, and providing canine and feline first aid and CPR. I’m detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s needs, while also loving to play with energetic pets and keep them happy, engaged, and exercised! I’m available 7 days a week, day and night, for boarding clients, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I keep feeding and bathroom breaks consistent with their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. We’ll typically go for a walk after lunch, with additional activity based on your pet’s needs. Playtime is tailored to their temperament and mood; whether they’re energetic and ready to play, or prefer some quiet cuddles and downtime. My goal is to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and fun while they’re away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is kept safely on leash. Pets are supervised closely throughout their stay, and I’m happy to use their crate if one is provided and it’s part of their normal routine. I also have a portable pet gate that can be used to safely section off the kitchen or stairs when needed. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in a safe and attentive environment.

Joanna was fantastic with our Bruce! She went above and beyond when he wasn’t eating by providing chicken and eggs. Joanna made sure he took his daily medication. She played and walked him daily and sent us photos often. I know he was happy with her!
