About: When it comes to care for your canine family member, I want you to have complete peace of mind as if you were there yourself. I will show up at the time we have arranged. I will let you know I arrived (if you wish). I will send you a photo of your baby (if you like). Solid communication and decades of experience caring for dogs--including difficult dogs--set me apart. I can help house train your puppy. I absolutely love geriatric dogs. Big dogs are great. Loud dogs are fine. Jumpy dogs are A-ok. As a volunteer in dog rescue and a dog foster home, I am accustomed to managing many combinations of dogs and behavior. Only the best care for your baby! I am available for mid-day drop-ins or walks, as well as overnight boarding in your home or mine. I work for myself in a couple of flexible jobs, so I can prioritize great care for your dog! My home is truly set up all around the concept of caring for dogs. With an extra-tall chain link fence with extra support posts, to careful outdoor supervision, to extra tall baby gates in doorways, to all the supplies needed, we are accustomed to dog fostering, petsitting and managing dog care in creative ways. We are experienced dog fosters, used to introducing dogs to one another. We have two household dogs who are accustomed to other dogs coming in and out. In your home, the specifics will depend upon your situation and the details/requests you provide.

About: Had my own pets growing up. Used to small and big dogs! I also am fine with cats! I am not allergic to any animal. As of now, I am unable to own a dog due to my brother being allergic but I do love my cat Pumpkin. I work Monday to Friday (9 - 5) and I am off on the weekends. Other than working, I am usually free. I am big on communication and always flexible. Last minute bookings or same days are okay! When I did own dogs, I would take them for walk and made sure they get their playtime. I have owned a beagle and a pitbull. An odd mix I am sure but I loved both equally. I did own both when they were a puppy. I am unable to own a dog due to my brother being allergic. I currently own a cat who I love very much. He isn't high maintenance just like most cats but he is always vocal when he wants attention.
“It is obvious that Jessica loves animals! She has been doing weekly mid-day drop in visits to potty my two pups and give them some love! She is prompt, gives great feedback and sends the best pics of my girls enjoying the outdoors. She responds very quickly to messages. I highly recommend Jessica. I would give 10 stars if I could. 😄”

“Great sitter and attentive. I own two cats whom I love very much. I am usually traveling or unable to tend to my cats sometimes so I reached out to Calvyn through a mutual friend and he has always been there!

Northeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough nice things. We haven’t used a sitter in years, just family, but we needed one this time and we hit the jackpot! Our dogs LOVE her. We got so many happy puppy face pictures. We felt so comfortable that our babes were in such loving and careful hands. She even bought them treats and toys because she was worried they were bored with us gone. She’s amazing and we will 100% be booking with her again.
Erica is a great person and very communicative. One of our cats is very protective, and sometimes has issues with strangers, but she quickly adapted to the situation, and by the end of the period they became friends. Great attention to details, she did everything right the first time, following all the instructions. We highly recommend her, and hope to work with her again soon.
I was so nervous to leave my puppy for an extended time while attending an in person work meeting. Whitney came to walk and play with my puppy during the day and I was put as ease knowing she was there to love and care for him while I was gone. She sent updates and photos of the visit which was wonderful. I could tell his needs were met and he was in good hands by his relaxed demeaner after her visit.
I have absolutely do not know where to start when it comes to Kiona. She was so amazing with our dog. She was flexible, available and most importantly kind! Kiona came right in when my family had to go out of town unexpectedly and handled everything for our German shepherd as if she’s been apart of our lives forever. Definitely can’t wait to have her over again this summer when we go out of town. We never really traveled before due to not wanting to leave our fur son. But knowing we have the best doggy babysitter in town opens up our possibilities. Just know your fur baby is in good hands with her!!
