Loving Furry Friends Since 1995

I grew up on a farm and have maybe never gone a day without a furry friend or more in my care. Most of my experience with dogs is actually with young ones but currently my dog has crossed into the senior category.

Jael was a great Rover find and we will definitely book her for future stays! We received regular updates and photos while we were gone. Gus got lots of attention from Jael and her family (as seen in photos). We are happy to have found a new Rover home for Gus. Thank you Jael and family!

Jael was very accommodating for a short notice weekend trip and kept me updated with pictures and updates throughout my pup’s stay!

Gibson was calm and not stressed when we picked him up. It was a short stay but she keep us updated and sent a pic.

What a find! Our regular sitter wasn’t available so we checked out Rover and found Jael! Our experience with her was great/A+++ from start to finish. Her family welcomed my 15 yr old Springer into their home and took great, loving care of him. I was updated with pictures and sweet notes on how he was doing and I know my senior pup appreciated the calm environment Jael’s family offered. I will definitely choose Jael again in the future. Highly recommend!!

Jael and her family made our dog feel right at home! Drop-off and pick-up were quick and easy, and when we returned, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve tried kennels before and our pup came back stressed and underweight — but with Jael, it was the complete opposite. Stella ate well, played, and looked so content when we picked her up. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Jael truly does. We couldn’t recommend her more — 10/10 experience!

Schedule

I love to walk both mornings and afternoon and never am apposed to a third walk. I work from home so the dogs are not left alone much. Maybe kenneled while I run errands but typically not left more than 2 hours. I live in the center of town so I am never out long.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a baby gate to contain puppies to downstairs where I spend my time. Other mature dogs spend every moment by my side. Pets are seldom lonely with me. I have a fully fenced backyard, at the end of a long cul-de-sac.

Pets

A typical day

I am very active and both walk and run and often go to local parks and beaches. I work from home as well so there is down time for rest as well.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Jael can host up to 1 pet per night
I like to know the size of dog, and also about dietary guidelines prior to booking. Very important as well, is the pet house trained?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
