I'm home often which is where I board and watch the puppers. So we have a fenced in back yard and a large house. My mother does smoke but only upstairs and in her room. Bad mother!

I am used to caring for more than one dog at a time. I love taking my dogs on adventures and finding new places to explore. Your dog must be friendly with other dogs when boarding.

My dogs are all up to date on their vaccinations, your pup must be as well.

I’m a personal trainer so I am typically available between 11 am and 4 pm. With so much free time on my hands and my love for being active, I decided I’d walk dogs part-time!

About: About five years ago, my mom and I started a Rover account—Like Home Dog Services—offering dog boarding and walking to help me save for college. Since then, we’ve received over 110 five-star reviews, which you can find under Jessica Magdziasz or Like Home Dog Services on Rover! Now, as a student at Quinnipiac University, I’ve found myself with some extra time and the same deep love for dogs. Whether it's a walk while you're at work or an overnight stay while you're away, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care for your pup. Building trust with both you and your dog is my top priority, and I'm excited to bring that same level of commitment to every walk, visit, or stay. My schedule is currently very flexible, so feel free to send me a message! I’ll do my best to find a time that works well for you! If you’re planning a trip, I recommend reaching out early to ensure availability and avoid any scheduling conflicts. Safety and trust are my top priorities, whether I’m walking your pup or caring for them in your home. For walks, I always use secure, well-fitted harnesses or collars and avoid busy areas when needed to make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I also take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs—whether that’s a slow stroll, an energetic run, or extra time for sniffs and play. For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I stick to your instructions, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I know how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I've been pet-sitting for over ten years. I've sat for heaps of homes with various pets including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, bunnies, and even joeys! The majority of my housesits have been for households with multiple dogs of varying breeds and needs. I've cared for elderly dogs with mobility and vision impairments, reactive/anxious pups, large and small breeds with ranging energy levels. I'm experienced providing walks/play, administering medication, giving baths and brushes, prepping meals, and obviously providing all the love and attention (as is fit based on the individual pet's personality). In addition to housesits, I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering pups in South Korea, volunteering with dog and cat rescues abroad, and doing drop-in animal care visits. My focus when sitting is assuring pets feel safe and loved while away from their loved ones. I understand separation can be difficult for both pets and owners. I'm keen to provide regular updates and photos of desired, and make time apart as cruisy and comfortable as possible. I am flexible with availability. I'm currently living at home with heaps of free-time, so I'm open to working with a schedule that'd work best for you whether it be full time, part time, or a one time position. I provide compassionate care suited to each individual pet. I'm happy to learn about your dog's likes and needs, and keen to send updates during visits.

I also have experience with chocolate labs and Yorkies. I give very good pets and will help practice learning tricks. I also equally love cats. I am a graduate student and my week and weekends are very flexible. My schedule is basically mine to adjust as I want with only two virtual classes and a few meetings during the day. I like to take hourly breaks in my day to walk dogs for exercise or play with cats. I would go to my clients home because I have one kitten at home now. I make sure the pets feel comfortable. I will give lots of pats and cuddles and give food and treats that are pre-approved by the pet parent.

About: I have grown up with many cats and dogs throughout my whole life. Animals are everything to me and I know they are like family members to us!

Hannah A.
“Hannah has house sat for me many times in order to care for my pitbull while away on week-long trips. She exceeded my expectations; taking my Lucy on long walks after I warned her she’s real strong and pulls on the leash. She even very easily socialized her with other people and dogs which is no easy task. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear of how she cared for her and how easily and quickly Lucy took to her. We even made her a custom Lucy sweatshirt! She is for sure my go-to anytime I need a hand with my dog.”


Mandy L.
“Mandy takes great care of my little dog, Blaze, whenever I leave town for work, which is 1 to 2 times a month. She is very nurturing and compassionate, making sure she gets lots of love while I'm away. Blaze is a rescue and sometimes unsure of people, but she has complete trust in Mandy. I highly recommend her!”
