Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs all Summer 2025 through Rover, and it’s been such a rewarding experience getting to meet so many wonderful pups and families. As I head off to Rutgers for school, my parents are excited to continue offering the same loving, reliable care that our clients have come to expect. Dogs have been a part of our family since I was 4 years old, so creating a safe and happy environment for them has always come naturally to us. Beyond our personal experience, I’ve worked in multiple animal shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That same patience and dedication carries over into the care my parents will now provide at home. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a calm, gentle pace, you can trust that they’ll be treated like family every step of the way.

Jessi was a fantastic drop-in sitter for Maui! Very professional and reliable, and always sent great updates after every visit. I loved knowing exactly how things went each time — it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’d absolutely book with him again!

Jesse took great care of our dog, Sunny, while we were away. He sent us photos and reassuring messages, which really put us at ease. Although he mentioned he recently started working as a dog sitter, he was clearly very experienced and confident with dogs. We felt Sunny was in very good hands and would absolutely ask him again in the future.

Jesse exceeded my expectations. Our puppy Maya fit right in with his family and was so happy and loved while we were away. He was professional and sent pictures everyday. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jesse!!

Jesse, his family, and his dog Coco were amazing w/ Boba! I got consistent updates on Boba including pictures, when he ate, when he went outside, etc. i would not hesitate to have Jesse watch Boba again.
