About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for 5 years and frequently pet-sit for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I can handle basic commands and ensure they get plenty of exercise and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own. i currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am available for boarding full-time on weekends, and on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and weekend I am home the whole day. Monday and Friday will be home after 3pm. I have an unfenced yard, but I always supervise the dogs closely and keep them on a leash to ensure their absolute safety. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly community with beautiful surroundings and plenty of open space for long walks and exercise. I also have a 3-year-old spayed cat who is very gentle and quiet; she has her own private space but occasionally comes out to play. My home is clean, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Lindsey and Brian accommodated us last minute on a Sunday and also kept our baby late on a weekday for pickup. I'm so grateful and Belle came home healthy and happy which is always my major concern. We will definitely rebook with them if they'll have us! ???”
“Tiffany took excellent care of my Frenchie, Walter 💕 I did not have to worry at all and she gave great updates! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her help!”
“I had such a wonderful experience boarding my puppy, Bane! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. Lindsay and her husband were incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. Bane can be a little shy at first, but they made him feel right at home. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. It was so comforting to see him happy, relaxed, and even making some new furry friends! When I picked him up, he was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know there's a place I can trust to take care of him like family. I will definitely be bringing Bane back for future stays—thank you for treating my boy so well! 🐾”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Savannah was awesome and very helpful with my last minute request. She watched our cat and it was obvious he enjoyed the time he spent with her. Appreciate all her help!”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our Chihuahua, Fonsy while we were out of town for the week. She was quick to respond to the booking and messages. She gave updates throughout our trip as to how he was doing along with photos. Fonsy was very happy and playful when we picked him up.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have cared for my own dog for the past four years. I also have experience walking friends’ dogs and helping my sister, who is a Rover sitter, care for the dogs she watches. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available throughout the week and can easily stick to your pet’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, follow all care instructions, and provide a calm, loving environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing.
“Fantastic dog sitter! Very reliable, great communication, and truly caring. Our dog was happy and well looked after.

Our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, which says it all. Highly recommend!”

Jill and her family are amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies with someone they didn’t know. But Jill and her family took care of them as their own. Tonight I booked them again and my dogs went right in and seemed to be at home. I highly recommend her for your fur baby
