Personalized care for your dog or cat - Candia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Candia
“Our 7 year old lab mix and 12 year old yorkie mix loved their overnight stay at Andrea’s! Her and her husband take such good care of our pups and we know they will be happy to go back again!”
“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”
“Briahna was so amazing! I left my dog Wolfie at her home and she sent me updates and photos, was home a lot with Wolfie, and even took Wolfie on adventures with her! My dog does best in homes with no kids/other dogs so Briahna’s home was ideal. She was also so flexible on drop off and when my travel home was delayed, flexible with pick up! Wolfie had the best time and I swear he was looking for his new friend when he got home! Thank you again Briahna!”
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
“We’ve done doggie daycare before, but this was the first time we boarded our dog and she had a great time. Sophie enjoyed her time there and we already booked again for a week.”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Becky and Bob took AMAZING care of our 4 year old Cavapoo. We did a couple trial runs to prepare our dog for a 1 week stay, and he did great every time. Becky responded quickly whenever we checked in and sent some cute photos and updates along the way which we really appreciated. We love that they took the time to slowly introduce him to the other dogs staying there, allowed him to sleep anywhere he wanted, and fed him his special dinner every night. We feel very comfortable boarding our dog with them and will definitely be bringing him back for another stay the next time we go away! :)”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the yard if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Taylor was an amazing pet sitter for our dog Zappa. She took such good care of him! We got lots of updates and pictures every day. She even has her own dog (Chico) that Zappa loved getting to play with. I am so glad we found her and so thankful she could watch him even over the holidays. We will definitely be reaching back out for our next vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Thank you!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I have experience of caring for multiple animals at once. At one point we had 4 cats, kittens, and a dog in my house! Since moving out on my own I haven’t had any animals of my own, but any chance I get to care for someone else’s furry friends I take! My sister has a 4 year old lab mix pup that I take care of all the time from a night out to a week long vacation, I’m more than willing to give him the love he deserves. I’ll be glad to do the same for your fur babies I currently work a 8-5 Mon-Friday, but I have an hour during each day where I can do a mid-day visit! I’d love to do walks before work, but also willing to do evening walking. Weekend work will be mostly for the over night care!! I live in an apartment complex with other dogs so it is important that your dogs get along with others if they will be at my home! If they are with me we have a dog run where I will take the dog to play with a tennis ball, we would go on walks and I have tons of toys to keep them entertained while inside!
“Great sitter!! Heather sent pictures every day while she watched my dog and my dog had a wonderful time with other pups and Heather's children! She even came home with a piece of artwork :-)”
About: I have had 2 dogs for the last 6 years although one recently passed and have helped out with dogs since I was 16. Not great with cats but could watch it needed. I can administer medication as well as I had to for my dog. Monday and Friday I can use my lunch break for a visit, middle of the week days , I am available after 3, weekends are wide open I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space and our dog cannoli is very very friendly and will love to have a friend. She is up to date with all vaccinations.
“This is my Kona’s first boarding. Adriana and her family took care of Kona very well. Kona looks happy every moment. Also I appreciate Adriana shared many photos and video during the stay. I could know how Kona was doing timely.”
“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”

“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Would definitely recommend Olivia B. This was my first time using a service like Rover and she made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat for a week while we went on vacation. She sent pictures and updates every day and was very helpful to work with.”
“Yajing went above and beyond caring for our cat for 8 days while we were vacationing. She was very communicative and our cat loved spending time with her. Yajing brought additional toys for our cat to play with, kept us updated with photos and videos, and left our home super clean. We would definitely book again with her in the future!”
“Minnie is a great resource for cat sitting. We have three cats and one is very skittish. She will run when most people open the door. By the end of the 2nd day, she was sitting with Minnie on the couch allowing her to be pet, it was amazing. Minnie was great when the oldest cat had some kind of episode, possible seizure. Definitely recommended Minnie for taking care of your fur babies.”
“Sorry Im so later with a review .Chelsea did a very good job taking care of Fred ,she gave him his insulin shots twice a day ,did a good job taking care of his food ,water and tray .Sorry you moved I would have you take care of Fred any day .”
“Lindsay took care of our (cat) babies like they were her own. She took photos of them every time she came to see them, and spent time playing with them as well as feeding and medicating as needed. My cats loved her from the very first introduction. Lindsay is not only an animal lover, she's also a great lady. She surprised us with a list of places and things to try since she knew my husband and I had just moved into the area! We’re definitely looking forward to having her care for our cats in the future.”
“Andrea was very nice and had excellency communication. On top of that she was able to get Tucker in last minute (the next day). For sure recommend using Andrea for your furry family.”
“Brye was so good with my cats. She spent great quality time with them which clearly made them comfortable and happy. She also sent me pictures and text updates so I knew they were doing well. Brye was also proficient at administering oral meds and I felt more than comfortable knowing she was on top of that. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Jessica was caring and attentive to our kitties! She was able to modify some instructions when my kitten wasn’t eating as well and was very communicative with updates. Thanks, Jessica!”
About: I absolutely adore cats. I’ve had a cat of my own since I was 2 years old and have learned a lot throughout the years. My first, Missy, lived until she was 18 and my current, Ida, is 14 😊 I am caring, dependable and flexible to your needs.

About: 🔆Hi! You can call me Jordan! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 12 years of hands-on experience caring for both 🐶 and 🐱 I raised my own rescued dog and cat from just 1 month old and they’re now happy, healthy seniors — so I truly understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage of life. They’ve moved with me through five cities and three countries. I’ve never given up on them through any stage of my life. 👩🍳 I enjoy cooking nutritious and balanced meals for animals (sometimes for myself ) I love all animals and will learn more knowledge if you need cares for all kinds of pets (chickens, ducks, birds, pigs, etc) 💻 I have been working from home for over 6 years so I will be available everyday! Do not hesitate to contact me on any holidays. Available 7 days a week including all holidays🫡 I will strictly follow all instructions and offer detailed services for them. I will use all the pets knowledge I learnt from books and internet
“Amanda was wonderful accepted to watch our little Tony last minute. She was responsive and kind and even let us come for a quick meet and greet the day before, just 15 minutes after we started chatting on the app. I would highly recommend her!”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 7 month old pup. She was flexible and willing to adapt when we asked of the possibility of going from a daycare booking to an overnight stay. Makita had so much fun playing with her dog and she took her to the beach; her first time there. She was completely worn out which made our 3 hr journey back home easier for her. She slept the entire way! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if the situation permitted it!”
About: Hi! I'm very active during the day and super chill at night. I work a full time job but will spend breakfast, lunch, and dinner with your dog plus a 30+ minute walk/run. I like to curl up and watch tv or read a book after work and will cuddle with your dog. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog of my own, currently 7 months old and he loves meeting new dogs. I can always bring him with me or leave him at home to give your dog all my attention. I work from home so having an extra dog here is very easy. I am also able to get away and come to you to care for your dog. I have a fully fenced yard that my dog loves to run in. We can’t wait to have your dog over to play with Kevin!
“My 2 dogs had a meet & greet with Nicole before spending the day at her home. There was a nice fenced in area and other dogs to play with. When I dropped them off for the day, they didn't even look back. She was kind enough to send photos during the day and let me know they were doing fine. I picked them up that evening - they were happy and tired!”
About: I am a lover of all animals. I have owned and lived with dogs for over 15+ years and cats for 20+ years. I have also worked for a dog rescue in which I resided with at least 20 dogs daily. I understand the love and care that animals need and strive for! I have an 11 year old and 4 year old, in which I have 1 full time and the other split custody, so please be aware that there will always be at least one small child present! I live in an apartment in a house with plenty of room to roam! We are on the second floor, so we do have stairs, just incase your pet has an issue with them. I look forward to meeting your pets and having some fun! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I work from home so I only usually have to leave to either pick up the kids or run errands! I am available all day to attend to your loved ones! I will always treat your loved ones as if they were my own! Lots of love and attention! We will play games and run around like goof balls!
About: I am a mom to a wonderful 4 year old boy! I am a server at the moment, also looking to fill up some of my free time by spending time with and looking after some pups and cats since I am not allowed to have my own full time at the place I currently live! I have been around animals almost my entire life, mainly dogs, but also cats; birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, and also a chameleon! When I was around 7 up until age 12, I helped my aunts take care of over 20 miniature pinchers, as well as a Doberman, 5 cats, 3 ferrets, and two birds! And afterwards, I’ve lived with three pups that have absolutely all of my heart. Since moving out of my parents a several years ago though, I only get to see my pups a few times a week, and god do I miss being around them for snuggles, walks, and playtime outside. I cherish every moment with them. I don’t currently have any pups living with me at my own place, the stars haven’t aligned quite yet to take in a dog of our own, which is why I’ve decided to become apart of this community so that I am able to still spend more time with pups and also help out others who need their’s watched and cared for! I know most dogs (and some cats depending on their mood aha) just need lots of love and attention, and it can be super nerve wracking for them to be away from their owners, but also nerve wracking for the owners to leave their pets with a stranger. Dogs and cats are more than pets, they’re family. Trusting in me to care and look after your pet is something that will never be overlooked, and I will do whatever I can to ensure that they are cared for and kept safe, as well as doing whatever is needed to give you complete piece of mind that your loved one(s) are in the greatest of hands✨ I look forward to meeting you and your pups or kittys!! I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4 ! Weekends I usually do doubles so I don’t have much time on those days Although I don’t have a fenced in yard, there are plenty of parks around for exploring and play time, as well as some yard space just right outside my home if you don’t feel comfortable with your pup being brought elsewhere! My place isn’t too big but my home is their’s for as long as they’re here! I can give baths if needed, walks, snuggles, and playtime!
About: We love our dogs with an insane amount of love and care. They are our babies. Specializing in pugs and senior and disabled care. I am empathetic, give attention to detail, and give the utmost respect to all who are unable to care for themselves. 🐾🙂 Pet care doesn’t just FIT into the daily routine. It IS the daily routine, 24/7, no days off, no holidays. Our dogs are members of our family. I care for others animals just like I would want ours to be cared for. Which, if you know us, is like royalty. 😊😉 (Our pugs’ closet is bigger than mine.)
“This was the first time I used a dog sitting app, and the experience that my pup and I had was excellent! Kimberlie was very attentive to my dog's needs and even sent me pictures throughout the day. I have every intention of rebooking with Kimberlie again and highly recommend her and this service to anyone looking to place their pet in a safe and loving environment. Thank you, Kimberlie!”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! Animals aren’t just a job for me—they are my absolute passion. I’ve been working professionally in the pet care industry since 2019, running my own successful dog daycare and boarding services. Because of my background, I bring a high level of expertise, safety, and dedication to every pet I care for. I’ve loved and managed just about every breed, size, and personality out there, and I deeply understand canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety protocols. I know how tough it can be to leave your four-legged family member behind, which is why my goal is to give them a fun, stress-free environment where they feel right at home. Whether your pup is a high-energy bundle of fun or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra patience, I tailor my care to what they need most. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Professional Expertise: Experience managing dietary needs, medicine administration, and diverse temperaments. • A Cozy, Structured Environment: Plenty of love, structure, and personalized attention so they feel like family. • Peace of Mind: Reliable communication and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I’m fully committed to making sure your dog has a fantastic, safe experience. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Because my profession and my lifestyle are completely centered around animals, pet care isn't just a task tacked onto my day—it is the structure of my daily and weekly routine. Here is a look at how pet care naturally shapes my schedule: The Daily Rhythm: Structure & Consistency Cats and dogs thrive on routine, so my days are built around predictable, high-quality care windows: • Morning Kickoff (The Energy Boost): The day always starts early with breakfast, fresh water, and essential health checks. For dogs, this means immediate outdoor time, structured group play, or morning walks to burn off early energy. For cats, it’s about refreshing litter boxes, feeding on a precise schedule, and offering some gentle morning scratches or playtime for the early risers. • Mid-Day Management (Balance & Maintenance): Mid-day is all about balance. It includes administering any afternoon medications, managing specific dietary needs, and supervising play dynamics to keep the environment safe and harmonious. For more independent pets or cats, this is a great time for quiet companionship, checking in on shy animals, and keeping their environment pristine. • Evening Wind-Down (Cozy Comfort): As the day wraps up, the focus shifts to winding down. After evening meals, I focus on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. This is the time for belly rubs, lap lounging, and ensuring every animal feels safe, secure, and treated like family before bed. The Weekly Flow: Communication & Upkeep On a weekly basis, pet care involves the operational behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly: • Constant Client Communication: A huge part of my week is dedicated to giving owners peace of mind. I stay in regular contact with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so clients never have to wonder how their furry family members are doing. • Environment & Safety Deep-Cleans: Maintaining a safe, hygienic space is a top priority. Weekly routines include deep-sanitizing play areas, washing bedding, checking safety gates, and thoroughly refreshing pet areas to ensure top-tier cleanliness. • Individualized Attention Planning: Every week brings different personalities, ages, and temperaments. I constantly adjust my weekly flow to accommodate high-energy pups who need extra exercise, or older, sensitive pets who require a quieter, more patient pace. Ultimately, blending professional expertise with genuine affection means that providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is second nature to my everyday routine. When pets stay with me, they are welcomed directly into my daily life and treated like a member of the family. My home environment is designed to offer the perfect balance of professional safety and domestic comfort. • A Tailored, Safe Environment: Because of my background in professional pet care, my home is fully set up for safety and supervision. I closely monitor all interactions and group dynamics, ensuring that high-energy pets have space to play while more sensitive or older animals have quiet, designated areas to relax undisturbed. • Consistency is Key: I replicate the structure pets need to feel secure. This means adhering to regular feeding schedules, prompt bathroom breaks, and managing specific dietary or medical needs with professional precision. • The Best of Both Worlds: Pets get the socialization, playtime, and mental stimulation they crave during the day, followed by a calm, cozy environment in the evening. There is always a warm lap, plenty of belly rubs, and a comfortable spot to wind down. In Your Home: Maintaining Comfort, Routine, and Security When I care for pets in your home—whether for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting—my primary goal is to minimize their stress by keeping their exact environment and routine completely unchanged. • Respecting the Routine: I step seamlessly into your pet’s normal schedule. I feed them in their usual spots, walk them along their familiar neighborhood routes, and follow your specific instructions to the letter. This continuity is especially vital for cats and anxious dogs, who thrive on predictability. • Focused, One-on-One Attention: Without the distractions of a daycare environment, your pet gets my undivided love and attention. Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, a focused neighborhood walk, or a quiet cuddle session on the couch with a sensitive cat, the time is entirely theirs. • Home Security & Peace of Mind: Beyond top-tier pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. I ensure doors are securely locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the living space is kept exactly as you left it. What You Get in Both Settings: Unmatched Peace of Mind. No matter where the care takes place, my commitment to communication never changes. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how relaxed, happy, and safe your furry family member is while you're away.

“Highly recommend! We use Josh for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. Our dogs LOVE Josh and so do we. He is extremely dependable, an amazing communicator, and treats our girls like their one of his own. One of our girls can be very reactive towards other dogs while on walks and Josh took the time to help with this. He was even able to include one of his dogs on a walk with our reactive pup after some training. The walk went great and we can see such a difference in our girls behavior for the better! We truly couldn’t ask for better care for our girls. 10/10!”
“Olivia has been such a blessing to help break up the day for my newly rescued pup, Woody. She is kind, patient, friendly, responsive and is a great communicator. She takes her time with Woody never seemingly rushing or overwhelming him. She takes his ques when he’s anxious on walks and wants to return home pivoting to a play session out back or inside with his toys and giving me a debriefing. I was anxious about utility Roover at first with some friends poor experiences. My anxiety quickly disappeared after a brief FaceTime to connect prior to Woodys first walk. Woody and I certainly got lucky with finding Olivia to be apart of our days/weeks. Thank you Olivia for being you, we are truly grateful for you.”
“So happy to have found Lily! She is amazing with my dogs! I really appreciate that she wants to get to know your pet and their specific needs, very loving and caring.Thank you Lily you’re a true gem!”

“Lindsay was fantastic! I will continue to use her in the future when I need a dog walker/pet sitter. She is responsive, attentive and even brought in my packages that were left at my door. I highly recommend Lindsay.”
“Darsy has been great. She shows up on time and has been working to gain the trust of our obstinate rat terrier and made progress today to get her out on a walk. As for our puppy, Bella, Darcy has been great with walking her and making sure she gets some water after the walk and playing with her. She’s also been great about working around our schedule. I highly recommend her.”
“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”
About: I treat animals as a parent would with a child. It's all about knowing that every creature has a personality of their own and providing the appropriate enforcement for positive behavior and training. I work full-time, yet I make time for evening walks with my dog (if the temperature is bearable). On the weekends, I take her for 1-2 walks within the two days. Late Spring to mid Fall is the best time for outdoor fun. I have another older dog that is crate trained if they need to be caged in because of visitors. If a dog is trained well enough to not run off, I do have a wide open backyard they can run around in.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my reliability, but also my lifelong experience with dogs. I grew up with a Labrador who showed me the joy of unconditional love, and I recently had to say goodbye to my sweet girl after 12 wonderful years together. She was truly family, and I cared for her through every stage of life, which gave me a deep understanding of what it means to love and look after a dog. Now, I get to share that love with my two young kids (ages 4 and 6), who absolutely adore dogs and treat every pup like their own playmate. Whether it’s long walks, cozy snuggles, or just keeping up with your dog’s daily routine, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and part of our pack. Because I work full time during the week, I reserve dog care for weekends only—this way I can dedicate my attention and energy to your pup. My weekends are open for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and my kids and I love having the extra time to focus on making each dog feel happy and cared for. By keeping my schedule this way, I can promise that your furry family member won’t just “fit into” my day—they’ll become a part of my family for the day(s). When caring for dogs, I focus on keeping them active, loved, and comfortable. My two young kids (ages 4 and 6) have endless energy and love to play, so visiting pups get plenty of attention and interaction. I live in a quiet town with lots of sidewalks and nearby neighborhoods, which makes for safe and enjoyable walks. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I do have plenty of grassy space for outdoor time, and I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or downtime, I’ll make sure your pup feels right at home.

About: My name is Kathryn and I go by Katie, I’m 20 years old I’ll be 21 in July. I live in Derry NH and I can’t wait to help out families who need it! Leaving your fur baby at home can be stressful. Trust me, I love mine so much. But I’m here to make sure there is nothing to stress over and that they are well taken care of. Over the years I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I used to groom dogs, clip nails, walk dogs for as long as needed, and feed them daily or multiple times a day whatever is needed. Along with any medications they need as well. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I can also send update pictures or videos to my clients and make sure they know I’m doing exactly what they asked for! Im a very active person who loves working out so when im not at Pilates or doing school work im free, but im very able to manage my time. Im free all the time this summer may-august mornings and evenings. So just give me a heads up! And I’ll be free on weekends during the months after this summer. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a home away from busy roads, and pets will always be supervised in a safe environment. During walks, I always keep dogs on a leash, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’ll also follow any specific routines or instructions to make sure your pet feels right at home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and family for about 14 years. I started off helping my older sisters. I have dogs, cats and a ball python at home. I had a bearded dragon that recently passed. I’ve also house sat and watch horses, goats, ducks and chickens for about 7 years. Message me with any questions. At the moment I’m very flexible because I’m not working. I’m in online school and have a baby (born June 2025) that will be coming with me. Send me a message and I’d love to talk and see if I’d be a good fit. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats in my home, as well as a ball python. I have a fenced in backyard and have a baby born June of 2025.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, starting with our family dogs as well as walking or sitting for family friends throughout the years. I tend to the individual dog’s needs to ensure a positive experience built on trust, respect and fun! I work from home and my schedule allows for flexibility. I have the availability to be free during week days. I am also an avid walker and love to go on walks to explore new places. I focus on the individual needs of that animal to meet them where they are at. I am able to understand animal body language and act accordingly.
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! Animals aren’t just a job for me—they are my absolute passion. I’ve been working professionally in the pet care industry since 2019, running my own successful dog daycare and boarding services. Because of my background, I bring a high level of expertise, safety, and dedication to every pet I care for. I’ve loved and managed just about every breed, size, and personality out there, and I deeply understand canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety protocols. I know how tough it can be to leave your four-legged family member behind, which is why my goal is to give them a fun, stress-free environment where they feel right at home. Whether your pup is a high-energy bundle of fun or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra patience, I tailor my care to what they need most. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Professional Expertise: Experience managing dietary needs, medicine administration, and diverse temperaments. • A Cozy, Structured Environment: Plenty of love, structure, and personalized attention so they feel like family. • Peace of Mind: Reliable communication and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I’m fully committed to making sure your dog has a fantastic, safe experience. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Because my profession and my lifestyle are completely centered around animals, pet care isn't just a task tacked onto my day—it is the structure of my daily and weekly routine. Here is a look at how pet care naturally shapes my schedule: The Daily Rhythm: Structure & Consistency Cats and dogs thrive on routine, so my days are built around predictable, high-quality care windows: • Morning Kickoff (The Energy Boost): The day always starts early with breakfast, fresh water, and essential health checks. For dogs, this means immediate outdoor time, structured group play, or morning walks to burn off early energy. For cats, it’s about refreshing litter boxes, feeding on a precise schedule, and offering some gentle morning scratches or playtime for the early risers. • Mid-Day Management (Balance & Maintenance): Mid-day is all about balance. It includes administering any afternoon medications, managing specific dietary needs, and supervising play dynamics to keep the environment safe and harmonious. For more independent pets or cats, this is a great time for quiet companionship, checking in on shy animals, and keeping their environment pristine. • Evening Wind-Down (Cozy Comfort): As the day wraps up, the focus shifts to winding down. After evening meals, I focus on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. This is the time for belly rubs, lap lounging, and ensuring every animal feels safe, secure, and treated like family before bed. The Weekly Flow: Communication & Upkeep On a weekly basis, pet care involves the operational behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly: • Constant Client Communication: A huge part of my week is dedicated to giving owners peace of mind. I stay in regular contact with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so clients never have to wonder how their furry family members are doing. • Environment & Safety Deep-Cleans: Maintaining a safe, hygienic space is a top priority. Weekly routines include deep-sanitizing play areas, washing bedding, checking safety gates, and thoroughly refreshing pet areas to ensure top-tier cleanliness. • Individualized Attention Planning: Every week brings different personalities, ages, and temperaments. I constantly adjust my weekly flow to accommodate high-energy pups who need extra exercise, or older, sensitive pets who require a quieter, more patient pace. Ultimately, blending professional expertise with genuine affection means that providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is second nature to my everyday routine. When pets stay with me, they are welcomed directly into my daily life and treated like a member of the family. My home environment is designed to offer the perfect balance of professional safety and domestic comfort. • A Tailored, Safe Environment: Because of my background in professional pet care, my home is fully set up for safety and supervision. I closely monitor all interactions and group dynamics, ensuring that high-energy pets have space to play while more sensitive or older animals have quiet, designated areas to relax undisturbed. • Consistency is Key: I replicate the structure pets need to feel secure. This means adhering to regular feeding schedules, prompt bathroom breaks, and managing specific dietary or medical needs with professional precision. • The Best of Both Worlds: Pets get the socialization, playtime, and mental stimulation they crave during the day, followed by a calm, cozy environment in the evening. There is always a warm lap, plenty of belly rubs, and a comfortable spot to wind down. In Your Home: Maintaining Comfort, Routine, and Security When I care for pets in your home—whether for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting—my primary goal is to minimize their stress by keeping their exact environment and routine completely unchanged. • Respecting the Routine: I step seamlessly into your pet’s normal schedule. I feed them in their usual spots, walk them along their familiar neighborhood routes, and follow your specific instructions to the letter. This continuity is especially vital for cats and anxious dogs, who thrive on predictability. • Focused, One-on-One Attention: Without the distractions of a daycare environment, your pet gets my undivided love and attention. Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, a focused neighborhood walk, or a quiet cuddle session on the couch with a sensitive cat, the time is entirely theirs. • Home Security & Peace of Mind: Beyond top-tier pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. I ensure doors are securely locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the living space is kept exactly as you left it. What You Get in Both Settings: Unmatched Peace of Mind. No matter where the care takes place, my commitment to communication never changes. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how relaxed, happy, and safe your furry family member is while you're away.

“Our 7 year old lab mix and 12 year old yorkie mix loved their overnight stay at Andrea’s! Her and her husband take such good care of our pups and we know they will be happy to go back again!”
“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”
“Briahna was so amazing! I left my dog Wolfie at her home and she sent me updates and photos, was home a lot with Wolfie, and even took Wolfie on adventures with her! My dog does best in homes with no kids/other dogs so Briahna’s home was ideal. She was also so flexible on drop off and when my travel home was delayed, flexible with pick up! Wolfie had the best time and I swear he was looking for his new friend when he got home! Thank you again Briahna!”
“Dayna is a true dog person. Upon entering her home and meeting with her I knew my dog was in excellent hands. Dayna took such good care of my girl and sent regular updates. I didn't worry for a second when my dog was with her. Dayna is friendly, kind, and will take perfect care of your dog and make sure they have such a good time. It was like summer camp for my pup. Thank you, Dayna!”
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
“We’ve done doggie daycare before, but this was the first time we boarded our dog and she had a great time. Sophie enjoyed her time there and we already booked again for a week.”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Becky and Bob took AMAZING care of our 4 year old Cavapoo. We did a couple trial runs to prepare our dog for a 1 week stay, and he did great every time. Becky responded quickly whenever we checked in and sent some cute photos and updates along the way which we really appreciated. We love that they took the time to slowly introduce him to the other dogs staying there, allowed him to sleep anywhere he wanted, and fed him his special dinner every night. We feel very comfortable boarding our dog with them and will definitely be bringing him back for another stay the next time we go away! :)”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the yard if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Taylor was an amazing pet sitter for our dog Zappa. She took such good care of him! We got lots of updates and pictures every day. She even has her own dog (Chico) that Zappa loved getting to play with. I am so glad we found her and so thankful she could watch him even over the holidays. We will definitely be reaching back out for our next vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Thank you!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I have experience of caring for multiple animals at once. At one point we had 4 cats, kittens, and a dog in my house! Since moving out on my own I haven’t had any animals of my own, but any chance I get to care for someone else’s furry friends I take! My sister has a 4 year old lab mix pup that I take care of all the time from a night out to a week long vacation, I’m more than willing to give him the love he deserves. I’ll be glad to do the same for your fur babies I currently work a 8-5 Mon-Friday, but I have an hour during each day where I can do a mid-day visit! I’d love to do walks before work, but also willing to do evening walking. Weekend work will be mostly for the over night care!! I live in an apartment complex with other dogs so it is important that your dogs get along with others if they will be at my home! If they are with me we have a dog run where I will take the dog to play with a tennis ball, we would go on walks and I have tons of toys to keep them entertained while inside!
“Great sitter!! Heather sent pictures every day while she watched my dog and my dog had a wonderful time with other pups and Heather's children! She even came home with a piece of artwork :-)”
About: I have had 2 dogs for the last 6 years although one recently passed and have helped out with dogs since I was 16. Not great with cats but could watch it needed.
