“I was very impressed with Jinay's responsiveness and attentiveness. She understood that I didn't want to constantly ask for updates about my baby because I was on vacation but wanted the peace of mind that she was ok, so she reassured me every day with voluntary quick message updates and even pictures. My sweet girl has a disability, and Jinay gave me peace of mind during our separation. Jinay was so sweet and caring, even hand-feeding my girl when she struggled to eat. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby was well taken care of. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional care.”
“Sandy is absolutely wonderful! I was so impressed with her knowledge of dogs and how perceptive she was with our Daisy girl. So much so, we have already booked her for another trip to watch our pup.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young and I have always loved doing it! I myself have one cat and one dog. I’m working part-time and in school, so I am doing this on the side as an extra source of income as a college student and a way to express my love and passion towards animals. My job is in its slow season for the next couple of months, so my schedule is very open besides classes. I can tend to any needs necessary for your pets. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your animals needs and make sure they are comfortable when being in my care, and I will always let you know if they are not.
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I watch dogs for my family and friends when they go away. I walk, feed, and play with their pets. I work part time, three days a week until 4 pm. I can walk dogs after work or any other day. I am available on the weekends. I currently do not accept boarding requests. When I am caring for dogs in their home I give them lots of love and attention and play. I take them on walks as needed or determined by their physical abilities. I am attentive and here to give your pet companionship!
“Such amazing care! She was so communicative and kind. My two cats mochi and mino were taken care of so well and she made sure to send pictures and updates. My first time booking with a sitter on rover and I am glad I chose Jassah! :)”

“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.”
“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”
“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. :)”
“My dog is so comfortable with Cynthia! Although there are big dogs at her house, she has gating throughout the house and yard to ensure that a little dog is always feeling safe!”
“Veronique and her husband are the best! I would definitely book with them again!! Teddy has been going there for a week now and every morning he’s so excited to get in the car because he knows he’s going to go play with his friends!”
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.
“When Sammy typically comes home from a sitter, he is withdrawn for a day or so. Not so this time! Sammy must’ve had a wonderful time with Melissa because he came home happy and playful. Thank you, Melissa for showing Sammy such a good time and welcoming him into your home! And thank you for sending pictures. The next time I need someone to watch him I will feel very comfortable dropping him off with Melissa.”
About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! We stayed over Fourth of July weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and she made our experience so welcoming from start to finish. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure our pup was well cared for. Traveling with a dog can sometimes be stressful, but Cindy made us feel completely at ease and was so kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, communicates well, and truly cares about your dog, I can’t recommend Cindy enough.”
“My dog spent the whole day with Eliana yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the car he received. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and gave him so much love. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Alana and family were great hosts for our little Xena. They treated her like family and took care of her without any issue. They have an adorable doggy area, went on walks and cuddled a bunch! Xena was very happy :) thank you and can’t wait for our next stay!”
“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.”
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.
“From the moment we dropped Nessa off until the time we picked her up, we were pleasantly surprised by how completely at home she felt with Marla. Normally, Nessa is very apprehensive when meeting new people, new animals, or even visiting a new place. But from the moment Marla opened the door, our normally shy and hesitant little girl ran right into the house to greet Marla and all of her pets. To say my husband and I were shocked would be an understatement! Watching Nessa happily run off to play filled this mom and dad with so much joy. While we were attending our niece’s wedding, we kept checking our phones, fully expecting a call or text saying Nessa was crying or looking for us. That message never came—because she was apparently having the time of her life! When we returned to pick her up, Nessa was excited to show us all of her new friends. It was obvious she had been well cared for and truly enjoyed her stay. We could tell that Marla treated Nessa as if she were one of her own, and there is no greater compliment we could give. We only wish Marla lived in Connecticut instead of New York. Finding someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet as though they were part of their own family is incredibly rare, and we would trust her with Nessa again in a heartbeat.”
“Wow, what can I say? Maria was amazing with our Hudson. Very responsive and she sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. Her place is beautiful and her pup got along with Hudson really well. He’s calm and clean, we can tell he was cared for. We can’t wait to have him stay again. Thank you so much Maria.”
About: Unfortunately my dog Buster recently passed away and the house is so quiet without any pets so I have lowered my prices to make services more available and increase chances of getting to spoil your dog! I’ve taken care of dogs small and medium dogs for over 15 years. I have a flexible work from home job so your dog will be with me 24/7 during their stay! I have a lot of experience with long term stays! I only accept one customer at a time to ensure I offer the best individualized focus, love, and care that your dog(s) deserves! Lastly, I maintain Buster’s Fi tracker subscription renamed as Buster’s friends. This is an optional free service that I offer. I have different sized collar attachments so that your dog can wear it during their stay. This allows me to share access to your dogs statistics and location during their stay if it will help to ease any anxieties you may have! I have a flexible work from home job Monday-Friday. I am able to take your dog out for walks as often as needed. I will not leave your dogs side throughout their entire stay! Dogs do not have any limitations in our home so they are welcome to roam freely and snuggle up on the most comfortable couch or bed they can find! We have a fully fenced backyard with doggy door access to allow unlimited bathroom trips and plenty of room to play!
“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.”

“Melissa was fantastic with our Dalmatian puppy Spot! Our furry baby adored his walks with Melissa and looked forward to them every day. Melissa took the time to understand our puppy's needs and always gave us updates for each walk, along with photos. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker. Thanks so much, Melissa!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Mackenzie and I’m a HUGE animal lover! Since I was young, I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs in my family since the age of 4, and since I was an only child, it meant the world to me to have a fluffy companion to spend time with and care for. I have learned how to be a responsible and attentive pet owner by caring for my own pets, and by dog sitting or dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I am knowledgeable about different training techniques for younger pups, and I also know how to care for older pets who may need a bit more care. Whether your pet is a cat or dog, big or small, young or old, I promise to care for his/her as my own. I look forward to meeting your fluffy companions! I am currently working full time during the day on week day, so I am available for pet care week day mornings, lunches, and evenings. I am available any time on weekends and most holidays. I am a very mindful and diligent caretaker and continuously monitor a pet’s needs. I follow the care instructions and also go above and beyond to make sure your animal feels safe and comfortable around me, and you feel like you have trustworthy and supportive care.
