“It was so nice to knowing my dog was in good hands, surrounded by lots of love, while I was out of the country vacationing. I was worried my Scooby would miss me, meanwhile he had a BLAST playing and eating good, doesn’t look like he gave me a second thought!!! He played with friends 🥹 and I love that I found the best sitter on here. My dog Scooby and I will absolutely be returning clients!!!”
“Sandy is kind, trusting , and provided the best care for our French bulldog. She sent pictures and messages daily. I will be using Sandy every time I go away. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in good care. I would highly recommend her and she deserves 5+ stars.”
“Amber was the best sitter for our furbaby, Marla. She treated her like her own and took care of her while we were away. Marla enjoyed her vacation at Amber’s place. We will definitely book Amber’s service again.”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Delmy and her daughter were so kind and just wonderful with my elder pup, Jake. Their home was warm, welcoming and super tidy. They provided daily photos and updates which were much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend booking Delmy and look forward to using her again. :)”
“Denise took great care of my baby while I was in vaca. He needed to take his medication daily and she made sure he did. She loved and cared for him like her own. Denise is the best !”
“Eliana made my Velcro dog at ease. She was the only dog that night so she got to feel very special. Eliana made us feel very much at ease leaving her there. She sent us so many pictures throughout the evening to make us feel even more at ease. We live out of state but if we visit again, we would definitely let Snickelfritz stay there again.❤️”
“Joanne was great! My dogs have different personalities and adapted well with her. My samoyed loved the big backyard and my bichon loved the calm setting. She sent pictures throughout the day which made me feel at ease. Definitely would book her again! Thank you Joanne”
“John was an amazing sitter for Benji. He was flexible and communicative. He took great care of my boy and Benji loved the company of John’s dog as well. Would definitely book with him again in the future!”
“I'm giving a five star review for Dan. Dan and Denise were so wonderful with our dog Sparky. They sent us pictures and/or videos daily which really put us at ease. Our dog seemed very comfortable in their environment and I really appreciated Dan's dedication and patience. This was the first time we ever left him with a sitter and I would definitely recommend and book their services once again.”
“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“BEST VACAY EVER!!! This was Striker's second stay with Vanessa and her family!!! I get daily photos and updates throughout his stay with them. Truly a blessing to have you and your family taking care of our Golden Boy!!! We always know he's in good hands when we leave Striker with you!!! He'll be back! XOXO”
“Jinay was phenomenal! She took such good care of my baby. She sent me daily updates of her and was always a text away. Majin was very happy under her care, and I could see that in the photos and videos that I got. This is my first time leaving my dog alone and I was a little bit nervous but Jinay did an amazing job reassuring me that my fur baby was good and in excellent conditions!”
About: I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and also have experience administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What makes me stand out from other sitters is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to your pet. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays and available for drop-ins and house sitting, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. For walks, I focus on making them both fun and mentally stimulating — not just a quick walk around the block. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include sniff breaks, exploring new routes, light training reinforcement, and engaging activities to keep them mentally enriched as well as physically active. My drop-in visits can include: * Potty breaks * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and exercise * Snuggles and companionship * Basic routine care and attention For house sitting, I provide overnight stays along with attentive daytime care every 0–2 hours depending on your dog’s needs. This includes potty time, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. My own dog, Milo, has a structured schedule that includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very used to planning my routine around a dog’s needs and making sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for consistently. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays, which allows me to give pets much more attention and companionship than sitters who may be balancing another full-time job. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and flexible scheduling for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I especially love building routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I don’t believe pet care should feel rushed or transactional. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and paying attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels. Some dogs want long walks and active play, while others prefer slower walks, cuddles, or calm companionship. I adjust my care to fit each pet specifically. Mental stimulation is also something I prioritize because I know it’s just as important as physical exercise. During walks and visits, I like incorporating sniff time, interactive play, and enrichment activities to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. For puppies, I’m patient with routines, potty training consistency, and energy management, and for senior dogs, I understand the importance of slower pacing, medication schedules, comfort, and gentle care. One thing that makes me stand out is the level of attention and presence I provide. I’m not someone who simply stops in for the minimum amount of time and leaves. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I make an effort to send updates, photos, and details about how their pet is doing so they can feel reassured and connected. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or overnight care, I aim to make pets feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust rather than just being “checked on.” I currently do not host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. For drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles and attention. For house sitting, I stay overnight with your pet and provide attentive daytime care including potty breaks every 0–2 hours depending on their needs, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, and companionship. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time on weekdays, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent check-ins, and more quality time with your pet than many sitters are able to offer.
“My Benji was in great hands! Maria took good care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She provided picture and video updates and she was very responsive. I would certainly book her again and would have no reservations recommending her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”

“Gerald was such a good communicator and so great with our Stella!! He made both her and us so comfortable during the few days he watched her. We got the cutest pictures :) I would recommend him to anyone!”
About: I volunteer with the organization that I adopted my pup from! I not only process applications for the organization, but I actively “babysit” pups overnight (sometimes 3 days at a time) for their fosters who occasionally are away on the weekends. I have the most experience with puppies and young adults, but also have watched older pups of my family members. I hope to give your pup a nice boop on the nose :) I am a full-time teacher on summer break! With my current schedule, I am available Sat, Sun, Tues, Thursday & Fridays! I look forward to discussing your needs for your pet! I have a 1y/o pup who is crate trained, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is my best friend! I’ve taken care of my boyfriend’s dog as she’s recovered from two separate TPLO surgeries. I’ve potty-trained and crate trained other pups from the rescue I volunteer with as I personally feel that’s the best way to make myself and you assured of your pets safety. My pup and I frequent the complex park multiple times daily and love a good car ride. A brief note of needs for your pet will ensure I care for them exactly how you do!
“Sandy was amazing! We had never used Rover before and had a great first experience. She met with us (and our cat) beforehand to discuss our needs. She gave us daily updates and was very responsive. Our cat had a great time with her! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.”
About: I’m a dog mom first, which means I care for every dog like they’re my own, not just supervised, but truly understood. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, including basic training reinforcement, administering medication, and adjusting care for mobility or anxiety needs. My goal is to keep your dog happy, stress-free, and on their normal routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, and quality time. I’m able to be present throughout the day for check-ins, exercise, and companionship, so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. I’m very consistent with routines and make sure each dog gets the attention and care they’re used to. I tailor my care based on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, playtime, and rest. I keep their routine as close to home as possible, including feeding schedules and any specific instructions. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the dog’s established routine. I aim to keep everything consistent so your dog feels secure whether that’s walks, crate time, training reinforcement, or medication. I also provide regular updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away.
“Wonderful- very loving and caring with my little fur baby. Communication was excellent and lit was such a treat receiving pictures and update while on vacation. Made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Noelle was great! She was able to gain the trust of my two semi-difficult kitties and give them both insulin shots! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. I felt very secure leaving them in her capable hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old and I love taking them for walks and playing with them I will walk them when ever I get a chance. I work part time so I have plenty of time to come over and help take care for your animals when ever you need help. I have a fenced heard I will make sure they are safe and played with and watched no matter what when they are in the back .
“I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.”

I am ready to help you any way I can. I can care for your pets needs in your home or my apartment. I am flexible in doing whatever is required to meet your needs
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong cat lover with over 20 years of experience caring for cats of my own and more than 6 years of cat sitting for family and friends. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, where some love to play and cuddle, while others simply appreciate a calm, familiar presence. I take the time to earn each cat's trust and follow their routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication (if needed), or just someone to keep them company, I'll provide attentive, reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I know our pets are family, and I'll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend!
About: As a dedicated dog owner for 11 years, I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and love in pet care. I have experience with daily exercise routines, feeding, basic training, and providing calm, attentive companionship. I’m available for dog walks on weekday evenings and most weekends. I’m punctual, dependable, and happy to set up consistent weekly walking schedules for your pup. I prioritize safety and awareness on every walk. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashing practices, avoid unsafe areas, and stay alert to other dogs and surroundings. I provide updates for peace of mind and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.
“"Absolutely incredible experience! Hannah was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our 100-pound Newfoundland, Arto, absolutely adored them. They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”
“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”
About: I have had dogs in my family since the day I was born. I am 24 years old, and I am currently raising a two-year-old and a three-year-old black lab. I have a love for animals like no other, and in the last two years, my family has had two puppies, along with our nine-year-old black lab. I am a licensed real estate agent and therefore have a flexible schedule in order to care for your pets during the week and possible weekends. I have a fenced and gated yard at my house. Along with that, I have collars and leashes that can be used for a walk or exercise in general. We also have a two-story house which gives lots of room for exploring and comfort.

About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and have taught children for the past 32 years. I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and am eager to care for them when they are alone. I am available throughout the day and for planned vacations. I’m retired and am available to go to your home and care for your dog. I don’t have a dog of my own anymore and am eager to play, care and walk your dog. I’m available to feed, walk and play with your dog.

“Our second time using Eliana and she was amazing. Great communication, loved my dog as her own, and sent many pictures. Played with my dog, snuggled him, and walked him. Highly highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.
About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Karishma made Chip feel welcome right away. She took great care of him and her genuine sincere affection for animals is heart warming. I would recommend Karishma to anyone that wants their dog to be cared for by a trustworthy and loving human being!”
“I am what you would consider a little "crazy" or "over protective" of my dog, and I have a hard time trusting anyone to care for him. I contacted Laurie after I had heard great reviews about her from the dog park. Within the first five minutes of meeting Laurie, I knew she was a very caring person who could easily be trusted! Someone who invests in astro turf for their yard, and uses not one, but two fences to keep these dogs safe is someone who cares! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care and I am grateful to know that I can bring my dog to daycare without having to worry about his safety. He also had a lot of fun! I highly recommend. :)”
“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
“Pam was a great camp (dog) leader for our 2 pups! She was excellent in the pre-petting sitting communication! 5 Star in getting us prepared and understanding our needs. Highly recommend her and our dogs were well cared for!”
“We used rover for the first time and Donna made us feel quite at ease. She explained everything to us and we knew that our dog was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”

About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.
About: I volunteer with the organization that I adopted my pup from! I not only process applications for the organization, but I actively “babysit” pups overnight (sometimes 3 days at a time) for their fosters who occasionally are away on the weekends.

I hope to give your pup a nice boop on the nose :) I am a full-time teacher on summer break! With my current schedule, I am available Sat, Sun, Tues, Thursday & Fridays! I look forward to discussing your needs for your pet! I have a 1y/o pup who is crate trained, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is my best friend! I’ve taken care of my boyfriend’s dog as she’s recovered from two separate TPLO surgeries. I’ve potty-trained and crate trained other pups from the rescue I volunteer with as I personally feel that’s the best way to make myself and you assured of your pets safety. My pup and I frequent the complex park multiple times daily and love a good car ride. A brief note of needs for your pet will ensure I care for them exactly how you do!

I dedicate myself fully to the animals in my life if I am taking care of your cat or your dog or your animal they become like my own. I put my time and love into them, and if you need help with children too we can discuss that too :) If I'm caring for your animal at my home I have a fenced in yard, love going for walks they have plenty of toys to play with a pool if they like to swim and we'll have lots of love with the family members that are here.

No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.
About: I have years of experience watching/caring for dogs both big and small, and cat sitting as well. I’ve also had pets throughout my whole life I work a 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I am available weekdays after work or early in the morning, and I’m free anytime on the weekends I’m unable to keep others’ pets at my own home, but willing to travel to your house for dog sitting or walking! Willing to go on jogs or walks for dogs:)
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Ive had pets (dogs, cats, birds) my entire life. I have experience in daycare/kennel, and vet assisting :) No need to worry when your pet stays with me! I can take on any task! I am currently working full time at a vet hospital but I am available to devote my full attention and love to your fur baby 7 days a week. Monday-Friday I work until 5pm but my boyfriend works from home so someone is always home to care for your pets while I’m at work! My house is your pets home away from home. I love cuddles on the couch, and I myself have some friendly pups at home who would be ready to keep your dog company! I have crates available if needed, toys/treats, and blankets to keep your fur friend comfortable. My yard is fully fenced in so you won’t ever have to worry, pets are never left unattended outside. Pets can also be kept separate from each other if needed.

“It was so nice to knowing my dog was in good hands, surrounded by lots of love, while I was out of the country vacationing. I was worried my Scooby would miss me, meanwhile he had a BLAST playing and eating good, doesn’t look like he gave me a second thought!!! He played with friends 🥹 and I love that I found the best sitter on here. My dog Scooby and I will absolutely be returning clients!!!”
“Amber was the best sitter for our furbaby, Marla. She treated her like her own and took care of her while we were away. Marla enjoyed her vacation at Amber’s place. We will definitely book Amber’s service again.”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Eliana made my Velcro dog at ease. She was the only dog that night so she got to feel very special. Eliana made us feel very much at ease leaving her there. She sent us so many pictures throughout the evening to make us feel even more at ease. We live out of state but if we visit again, we would definitely let Snickelfritz stay there again.❤️”
“Joanne was great! My dogs have different personalities and adapted well with her. My samoyed loved the big backyard and my bichon loved the calm setting. She sent pictures throughout the day which made me feel at ease. Definitely would book her again! Thank you Joanne”
“BEST VACAY EVER!!! This was Striker's second stay with Vanessa and her family!!! I get daily photos and updates throughout his stay with them. Truly a blessing to have you and your family taking care of our Golden Boy!!! We always know he's in good hands when we leave Striker with you!!! He'll be back! XOXO”
“Jinay was phenomenal! She took such good care of my baby. She sent me daily updates of her and was always a text away. Majin was very happy under her care, and I could see that in the photos and videos that I got. This is my first time leaving my dog alone and I was a little bit nervous but Jinay did an amazing job reassuring me that my fur baby was good and in excellent conditions!”
About: I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and also have experience administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What makes me stand out from other sitters is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to your pet. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays and available for drop-ins and house sitting, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. For walks, I focus on making them both fun and mentally stimulating — not just a quick walk around the block. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include sniff breaks, exploring new routes, light training reinforcement, and engaging activities to keep them mentally enriched as well as physically active. My drop-in visits can include: * Potty breaks * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and exercise * Snuggles and companionship * Basic routine care and attention For house sitting, I provide overnight stays along with attentive daytime care every 0–2 hours depending on your dog’s needs. This includes potty time, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. My own dog, Milo, has a structured schedule that includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very used to planning my routine around a dog’s needs and making sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for consistently. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays, which allows me to give pets much more attention and companionship than sitters who may be balancing another full-time job. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and flexible scheduling for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I especially love building routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I don’t believe pet care should feel rushed or transactional. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and paying attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels. Some dogs want long walks and active play, while others prefer slower walks, cuddles, or calm companionship. I adjust my care to fit each pet specifically. Mental stimulation is also something I prioritize because I know it’s just as important as physical exercise. During walks and visits, I like incorporating sniff time, interactive play, and enrichment activities to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. For puppies, I’m patient with routines, potty training consistency, and energy management, and for senior dogs, I understand the importance of slower pacing, medication schedules, comfort, and gentle care. One thing that makes me stand out is the level of attention and presence I provide. I’m not someone who simply stops in for the minimum amount of time and leaves. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I make an effort to send updates, photos, and details about how their pet is doing so they can feel reassured and connected. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or overnight care, I aim to make pets feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust rather than just being “checked on.” I currently do not host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. For drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles and attention. For house sitting, I stay overnight with your pet and provide attentive daytime care including potty breaks every 0–2 hours depending on their needs, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, and companionship. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time on weekdays, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent check-ins, and more quality time with your pet than many sitters are able to offer.
“Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”
“Alejandro took care of our Siberian husky for almost a week and we got daily updates including videos. 100% recommended he has experiences with many dog breeds, he is trustworthy, and we and our dog felt comfortable which is the most important for us. Thank you Alejandro we’ll book again!!”
