About: I create a safe and nurturing environment where your pets can feel right at home while you're away. From daily playtime and exercise to cozy accommodations and grooming services, I ensure that your pets receive the individualized attention and care they deserve. With a passion for pet care and a dedication to excellence, I strive to make your pets' stay with me a positive and enjoyable experience. Book with me today and give your beloved pets the pampering they need and deserve. Let me be your go-to for all your pet care needs - because when it comes to your furry family members, they deserve the best! I helped manage a doggie daycare for a couple years in Central Jersey so I can also handle multiple dogs at one time! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to get your pup out and get some energy out of them! Went on a walk twice a week to give the pup exercise and companionship. Provided general pet care duties as required, including feeding, watering, changing the litter box, and administering medication prescribed by the veterinarian.

About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

About: We have a 3+ acres fully fenced yard space. There is a tangiable metal mesh and wood, reinforced, fence AND a tandem electric fence that we can train your pet to if requested. Double saftey set up so that our own animals, and yours, can run free on the sprawling yard and play in various bushy "jungle gyms" :) We are experienced in caring many breeds, ages, needs, and types of animals. Open to any and all! Animals are our passion and we can take any situation and care request in stride, because we get it and have been there! I can fit my schedule around your pets needs! No seriously, self employed and fully flexible. Our own animals are never alone more than 5 hours at a time and more often I am home all day. With advance request I can provide 24/7 care for young or high need pets. Animals come first in our home, always <3 We have a large property with 3 acres fully fenced in for our own dogs. Their personal dog park and playground! They can enter and exit at will; yours too if appropriate. We can also have eyes on them at all times depending on your pets needs. Inside they have free run of couches and dog beds. We have a side by side queen bed sleeping arrangement so everyone can pile in. If needed, we also have a spare room that can serve as a private space if your pet is overwhelmed and I can personally cuddle them while our own crew hangs with my hubby. We have several animal care professionals we work with closely. Including emergency vet services, terriers, groomers, and more. We understand what it takes to trust your fur baby to someone else! It's one of our own biggest hurdles and anxieties when we travel. You can be assured that your pet will be given the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved, on they same level we shower or own fur babies <3

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”


About: Dog Boarding, Training, and Socializing Services A Vacation for You and a Life-Changing Experience for Your Fur Baby Welcome to our home-away-from-home experience for dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and structured environment for your pet, you’ve come to the right place. I joined Rover to provide a true home experience while you’re away. Here, dogs rule the house, enjoying sofas, loveseats, and a variety of comfortable dog beds. I prepare fresh meals daily for my pack, and while your dog is here, they’ll enjoy a portion alongside their own food. These meals include fresh chicken, rice, coconut oil, scrambled eggs, and veggies, prepared like a giant omelet. We’re happy to adjust for special dietary needs—just let us know in advance about allergies or sensitivities. What We Offer Dog Boarding: Safe, structured, and loving care in a real home environment.

Kirsten & Mark O.
“Kirsten O. Has the greatest asset for caring for animals - she knows and understands how important they are in our lives. She is also a responsible adult, follows directions and keeps in touch as necessary for our comfort level to keep pets close when we have to be far away. I know this from personal experience. Recently life circumstances dictated a sudden change in my life and the lives of my menagerie of two horses, two dogs and four cats. We were able to move the entire herd for the winter with the exception of one cat. Kirsten O. Stepped up and cared for him for three weeks until we could return to collect him. I am forever grateful that she is in my life. And so is Grampy, the cat!! She is excellent with dogs from small to large, has a good work ethic and takes pet responsibility seriously. Thank you, Kirsten O for a job well done and hope it helps with your Rover career!”


Jessica M.

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”


Alexandria B.

“Alexandria is a great dog sitter. She was very accommodating and display great love and care for our dog.”


Michelle M.
“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”
