Jade was great! Both of my dogs loved her and were excited to see her. My doodle is typically reserved with new people but he loved her. I appreciated Jade’s thoughtful rover cards and I felt safe with her watching my dogs.

Devin was fantastic! Our dogs can be a handful and she was patient and exceeded our expectations while caring for them. Prompt with timing, keeping us updated each drop in and sending pics to assure everyone was well. Will absolutely use Devin again in the near future.

My cat was so well cared for that I don’t think he noticed I was gone for over a eeek! In addition to maintaining his food and water, Mindy and Daniel kept the litter box clean and dealt with an ant invasion in my kitchen! Mindy and my cat are now BFF’s!

Josh is amazing! We were so nervous to leave our dog (Jazz) with someone new, but Josh put our mind at ease by sending detailed updates and by being very responsive via text. He went above and beyond what was required, bringing Jazz treats on Christmas Day and stopping in for last minute walks when our travel plans changed. Our dog absolutely loves Josh, maybe more than she loves us!

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog’s care. I bring a calm, dependable presence and treat every dog as an individual, meeting them where they are—energy level, personality, and needs included. I’m easy-going and patient, with a genuine love and appreciation for dogs of all kinds. Whether your dog enjoys longer walks, hikes, dog park time, or just a quick potty break and some companionship, I tailor each visit to what helps them feel comfortable and content. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve put my own younger dog through multiple training classes and understand the importance of reinforcing routines, commands, and good habits. I’m also comfortable administering medication and slowing things down for senior pups who need extra care and attention. Both of my dogs are rescues, which has made me especially mindful of dogs who may be anxious, sensitive, or adjusting to new people. I prioritize patience, consistency, and reassurance—particularly for dogs who feel stressed when their humans are away. I work full-time from home during the week, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m generally available mornings, mid-day, and early evenings, and I’m off on weekends—so your dog gets consistent care, not rushed gaps between obligations. I plan my day around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure walks and visits fit naturally into a calm, steady routine. I aim to mirror your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walking habits, commands, and house rules—so they feel secure and settled. I’m attentive to cues like body language, energy levels, and stress signals, and I adjust care as needed. Safety always comes first: secure leashes and harness checks, awareness of surroundings on walks, and clear communication if anything feels off. I respect your home as I would my own and follow instructions carefully, knowing trust is earned through consistency and follow-through.

We hired Jasper & Jaydon for house sitting as well as drop in visits for our pup and two cats. They were communicative, timely, respectful, and had quick response time. They sent photos and updates frequently, which brought great comfort to me. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care. We hope to have them be our sitter for a long time coming!

Tiana goes above and beyond- making sure my home is clean when I return. Paying attention to what my Cleo loves- opening windows to listen to the birds, finding new ways to engage her in play, giving plenty of affection. As someone who missed her cat while traveling, it’s a great comfort to know she’s being cared for so lovingly

About: I treat our Goldendoodle, Riley, like a human and promise to care for your dog the same! Dogs have a special place in my heart and I believe they should be treated and cared for just like children. I am primarily a stay at home mother of a 4 year old son & sweet Goldendoodle! Although we leave the house at least once a day, we are never gone for more than 4 hours at a time. My son and I take our dog on a walk every day, and make sure he is given multiple potty breaks and stimulation inside as well. I have a fenced back yard and have a child proof lock on the inside of my front door so no dog will ever get loose. I allow dogs to be on the furniture and beds. Our Goldendoodle is great with other dogs. For safety reasons, we can only care for your dog if your dog is good with both children and other dogs.

We asked to book Elaine on short notice and she was able to come the next day before our departure to meet Focaccia and get set up. She gave some helpful advice about cat care since she has in depth experience. She sent messages and photos of her playing with Focaccia in a timely matter. We would highly recommend Elaine and will consider her for future cat sitting needs.

I can tell our cat misses Mindy & Daniel even on days that we’re home. Every interaction had with both Mindy and Daniel shows their care for animals. Each photograph we receive from them it’s evident that our cat is happy with their visits and able to be 100% himself and with that we’re able to relax and be free of worry. So grateful for their time.

Bea was amazing (thank you, Bea!) with our little dog. We were gone for 5 days, but we knew he was in great hands. I was esp. concerned bc our dog had been having mobility issues and Bea kept us informed and took extra care of him. She also provided helpful notes on his health while we were away. And of course cute pics. We had excellent communication and couldn’t have wanted anything more - so professional. Thank you, Bea, for making our trip possible!

Oh my goodness! I seriously could not be any happier about Katherine’s care and support. This visit was exactly what my puppy and I needed. Katherine was right on time and gave the care necessary and did everything I asked for. It definitely eased my anxiety to know my girl was in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. I hate when my dog needs to be home all alone but getting confirmation from Katherine made it all possible. I appreciate her care and support so very much!!
