“Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!”
“Valerie was amazing! She is so kind and sent us many updates. It was so reassuring since this was our first time using Rover. Our dog had such a great time and we will definitely book again in the future!”

About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. First time using Rover? Click on the link for $20 off! Happy you are here! https://www.rover.com/sit/jinaeb95494 Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.
“Sunny loves going to Cherie's! She gets excited a block away as we drive up and barks with joy. I think her tail will fall off because she is wagging it so hard. We are so grateful. Cherie was able to help us. When my husband got sick. Thanks again Cherie.”
“Natalie took great care of our Milton! She was wonderful and sent us updates including videos and pictures. Milton was well cared for, which allowed for us to enjoy our vacation! Will definitely use Natalie in the future.”
“Ashley took such good care of our fur baby ❤️ She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us pictures every time she could. Don’t hesitate to book with her and her family, they love animals and take good care of them. Such a great family! We will book again when needed, thank you! ❤️”

“My pup was cared for by Susan with such TLC! Susan clearly has a love of dogs and a sensitivity to their moods and needs. Plus she’s a great communicator with humans! I received full updates and photos every day of my trip, which put my mind at ease. Seems my pup and I both had lovely vacations!”
“A great stay for our boy Bruno. She is so understanding and goes above and beyond to help you make things work when the unexpected happens. We cannot recommend her enough!”

JinAe B.
“I can’t say enough good things about JinAe. She took care of my senior, blind dog who wears diapers—and she handled everything with incredible kindness, patience, and professionalism. From the start, she was attentive to all of my dog’s special needs. She took the time to understand his routine, his comfort items, and how to properly change his diapers. I received regular updates and photos that reassured me he was not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It was clear he felt safe and calm in her care. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with an older pet, especially one with extra needs, but JinAe went above and beyond. I came home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone—especially if you have a senior or special-needs dog. JinAe is a rare find!”

We needed to find a dog sitter on short notice and Jessica respond within minutes! She graciously made time the next day for a meet and greet (first time using her). Our dog, Daisy appeared right at home as soon as we dropped her off! We appreciated the picture and update Jessica sent us during Daisy’s stay too. We will definitely use Jessica again!
Caitlyn, Daniel and their children took wonderful care of my little Ringo. He absolutely loved running around the backyard. And he was out for multiple walks every day. They did an excellent job of updating me with pictures as well as Ringo's daily activities. I certainly hope we can use Caitlyn and Daniel again
I can’t say enough about the excellent care that Cindy and Blaine provided for our high-maintenance boy Apollo while we were out of the country for over a week. They went the extra mile to ensure we both felt very comfortable before we left town. They asked all the important questions to ensure they understood his quirks, routines, and behaviors. It was such a relief to not have to worry at all about his care while we were away. Cindy always sent regular updates and was very responsive. It was clear that she kept him busy and always had his needs top of mind. Cindy and Blaine will be our first choice sitters when we are in need!
Bhramara was an excellent host for our chihuahua/jack Russell mix, EeVee. We needed a sitter last minute for our 10 day trip. We were going to board her in a pet hotel, but we knew she has major anxiety when it comes to being kenneled, and the only last minute opening didnt off any outside time! Bhramara gave her lots of attention, exercise (2 plus walks a day!), and treats. EeVee likes her routine and Bhramara was totally accommodating. Her dog, Bunny is such a sweet, non-confrontational dog! He also was a great host for EeVee. Each day of our trip Bhramara would send us updates and video of EeVee, which always made us smile and put us at ease that she was in great hands. EeVee definately enjoyed being with Bhramara and Bunny. 5 star experience, 5 star hosts!
Our golden doodle loves staying with Ashley and her family. Cali will literally do a couple loops around the front yard with excitement and then sit at the front door ready for her stay! The pics of them on a walk definitely help when you are missing your dog. Your pet definitely is treated like a family member.
Bella had a wonderful stay with Laura. Laura was very responsive to my initial request for a booking. Laura and her sweet family took such good care of Bella which I appreciated so much. I received and enjoyed seeing all the pictures and updates. When I picked Bella up, I could tell how happy and well cared for she was. I’ll definitely reach out to Laura again when I need someone to take care of Bella.
