“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my furry friends at this wonderful dog boarding house, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew they were in great hands. Christine were incredibly friendly and nice! Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which was a great comfort to me. I could tell that my dog was having an absolute blast - playing with other dogs, and watching TV shows.When I picked up my dog, they were happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun they had been having. Overall, I would highly recommend this dog boarding house to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and fun place to board their dog. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”
“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.”
“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“I had to schedule this last minute and they were so accommodating. Nikki had a great time. I received pictures and videos. Thank you so much for caring for Nikki. I will definitely use them again.”
“My boys were so relaxed from the moment they met Jinay and her family. They looked comfortable and took off with her without looking back, which said a lot! I have a senior dog and a disabled dog who has to have his bladder expressed. Jinay gladly agreed to care for them without giving it a second thought! I received videos and they looked happy and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely be a repeat client! :)”
“John was absolutely amazing with my dog, Prince. He sent me pictures and Prince even smiled for the camera. Prince loved playing and snuggling with his dogs and he was sad to leave them because he doesn’t have any dogs to play with at home. John was very accommodating in helping me with the drop off & pick up since I’m disabled. I would use him again.”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”
“Our Jack Russell terrier had a terrific time with Catherine and her family! Catherine is super-friendly and really knows, and loves, dogs. We are so happy with the care Cosmo received and all the great photos of Cosmo Catherine sent us every day we were away. We will definitely ask Catherine to take care of Cosmo the next time we travel!”

“Alev was absolutely amazing with my two boys! She took such great care of them—giving them tons of love, attention, and playtime. They came home happy, tired, and even looking adorable with little bow ties she gave them (such a sweet touch!). She sent regular updates and clearly treated them like her own. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Alev again—they already miss her! Highly recommend! 🐾”
“It's so hard being away from pets. Leaving our dog with Gabby allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying if she was OK. She sent pictures and messages to let us know our dog was having the time of her life. Gabby is clearly a dog lover and she took excellent care of our baby.”
“The best dog sitter ever. The way he takes care of my dog, no one else could. We were able enjoy our vacation without worrying.My dog loves him. Thank you Alejandro”
“Laurie is Professional extremely through has a LOVE for the Dogs and makes you feel st ease. We interviewed 6-7 dog Sitters and there was just No Comparison. We had to drive 35-40 mins each way to her home to drop off our very Spoiled English Bull Dogs to her home. She sends updates accommodates pick up drop off times. It really helped ensure a relaxing Vacation with out our babies. We have used her multiple times and Reccomened often.”
“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!”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
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!
“Delmy and her family took wonderful care of my 2 dogs. They were walked every day, played with, and came home clean and happy. We could not be happier with their stay.”
“Abby is the best dog sitter! She kept me updated on everything my dog was doing, gave him a bath, and made sure he was well-fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Lisa & Michael. This was our first time using Rover and they immediately made us feel comfortable. We knew our 2 cats were in good hands while we were away for our wedding. They kept us updated with wonderful pictures everytime they visited and a detailed description of how the visit went. Also our litter box has never been cleaner! Thank you Lisa & Michael for making this a perfect stress-free experience. You are both 10/10!”

“I had never had a Pet Sitter before and I picked Madison to be the first one and I never could’ve chosen a better Pet Sitter! She took wonderful care of my cat family and they are my family. They’re my kids. I have four of them she showed up every day that I asked her too. She took care of the kids so wonderfully. I can’t even begin to tell you it was awesome! I would recommend Madison as a pet sitter to anybody and I can’t wait till my next trip because I will be requesting if she is free for her to watch my kittens again! She took wonderful care of them. She bought in a box for me that was delivered. I didn’t even know it was going to come and she had no problem with that she showed up on time stayed as long as she was supposed to played with the cat. Send me pictures of playing with the cats and cats are your family. That’s really really important! I have no children. They are my children and she watched my children perfectly thank you Madison!”
About: I’ve taken care of other families cats for about 5-6 years now. I’ve fed them, played with them, have given plenty of cuddles, as well as changed and freshened up their litter box! I’ve never personally owned a cat but that only makes it even more exciting for me to meet and hang out with your babies!
“Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing with both of my cats while I was out of the country for a wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and loved. She kept me updated with pictures and had great communication the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind being away. I could tell my cats were happy and comfortable in her care. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

From giving insulin shots and oral medications to providing gentle care for shy or senior cats, I understand how to earn a feline’s trust and make them feel safe.

“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”

About: Hi! I’m Ella a lifelong animal lover and dependable local college student who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and backyard chickens, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company I treat every animal with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and i genuinely enjoy spending time walking, visiting, feeding, and caring for animals of all kinds. I care for pets in your home by following their normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and attentive care while owners are working or away.
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’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.
About: I’m an experienced, reliable sitter who treats every pet like family. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’m patient, calm, and caring so your pet is always in safe, loving hands. 10/10 pets agree: I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches. I’m home all day to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. They’ll never be alone for long and will feel like part of the family while you’re away. At my home, pets get a safe, loving space and plenty of attention. In your home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Either way, they’re treated like family.
About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.
“Maria did a great job with my dog Chippy! He was so safe and comfortable at her home. I got many videos and pictures of his stay which put my mind at ease. He even made best friends with her dog Joseph and didn’t want to leave!”
“Daniel and his wife, Denise, were fantastic when it came to watching our dogs. They truly cared about their wellbeing’s and cared about our requests. We will definitely continue to use him in the future!”
About: I have 15+ years of owning my own pets (dogs, fish, birds, and hamsters) and caring for other people’s pets. I feel comfortable feeding, bathing, walking and providing any other type of care the pet needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a six-year-old son who absolutely loves animals as well, so pets staying in our home should be friendly and comfortable around children. We are a caring, animal-loving home and can’t wait to meet and care for your pets like they’re part of the family! * If you prefer kid-free home, I recommend Friday to Sunday bookings. I am home full-time, so your pets will always have love, attention, and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. I’m able to take dogs out frequently for walks and potty breaks, and our apartment complex also has a fenced area where pets can safely run around and play. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. In my home, pets will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love and affection. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while sticking to their normal routines as much as possible.

“Jen was an excellent find on Rover for me. She was friendly, easy to work with and she cared for my pup very well for his short visit with her. Jen has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and I was very comfortable that he was in a good care. And I got a picture which was a nice surprise! Thank you again Jen!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish and small rodents. I began pet sitting at 14 and have built years of experience providing reliable, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.
About: My name is Morgan. I love animals no matter what type, breed, size or age. I have one dog and three cats, all of which I rescued from animal shelters. I love my pets more than anything, if you choose me to watch your pets, I can guarantee you I’ll treat them like my own pets! I am very organized and personable. I pride myself in being very tidy and respectful, especially while inside your home. I will focus 100% of my time on your pets while I am working with them because I find it very important to always show animals the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to ask me any questions about me, my experience or my availability! I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care is honestly just woven into my daily routine at this point, it doesn't feel like a separate task. My mornings start with feeding and a walk, which actually gives me a great reason to get outside and move before I sit down to work. Throughout the day I'm mindful of keeping things consistent for them, meals, playtime, making sure they're not just sitting alone for too long. Evenings are usually when we wind down together, which I genuinely look forward to. It's one of those things that adds structure to my day without feeling like a chore, more like a grounding ritual than a responsibility. I care for pets the same way I'd want someone to care for mine, with consistency, attention, and a lot of patience. In my own home, that means sticking to a routine they can rely on: regular feeding times, daily walks or play sessions, and making sure their space is clean and comfortable. I pay close attention to their moods and energy levels because animals communicate a lot through behavior, and catching when something feels off early makes a big difference. When it comes to caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to understand their specific needs before I ever step through the door. Every pet is different, different diets, different temperaments, different routines, and I take detailed notes on all of it. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep their environment familiar and stress-free, and always communicate updates so the owner feels confident and informed while they're away. I treat their home with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, and I treat their pet like my own.
“Megan was amazing with Rocky! This was my first experience with org Rover and I am so happy I chose Megan. She is clearly a dog lover and was so easy to coordinate with. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her”
About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own. I’m available most weekdays after work and weekends with notice.

From walks and feedings to baths, medication, and extra snuggles — I’ll treat your pet like part of the family!

My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house.

About: I have taken care of my dogs and my friends and families pets for over 10 years! I love our furry friends and am great at walking and feeding them however much they may need! I am currently working but I have a pretty open schedule for this summer. Please let me know which days you would like to work together and I will be sure to accommodate as best I can. Since my service will be at your home, I intend to take the pets out as needed and making sure that I stay with them whenever they go out. When on walks I make sure to be aware of my surroundings so that both your pets and I stay safe.
About: I am a 28 year old animal lover! I spoil every dog I encounter and believe dogs are better than some people. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I treat my three current dogs. I have over 6 years of experience of working with animals, mostly in an animal shelter and grooming spa setting. As of now, I am available 6 days a week until about 12:30pm to walk your pups and/or stop by your home to make sure they are good for when you get home! I would be happy to help your day a little less stressful knowing your pup(s) are in good hands! I love all types of dogs big and small and would love to care for your pets.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was young and caring for my 15 year old mini schnauzer for his entire life. I have experience dog sitting and walking for friends and neighbors while they were away. I have a 2 year old dog who I love to train and take on hikes. As an animal and nature lover, I love getting outside in the fresh air for a long walk with a dog companion! I am a freelance graphic designer that works from home, so I am available during the weekdays as needed. My availability varies Saturday and Sunday. I am cautious and reliable, making sure your pets are safe and comfortable in my presence. I am experienced with senior dogs and reactive dogs as well.

“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my furry friends at this wonderful dog boarding house, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew they were in great hands. Christine were incredibly friendly and nice! Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which was a great comfort to me. I could tell that my dog was having an absolute blast - playing with other dogs, and watching TV shows.When I picked up my dog, they were happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun they had been having. Overall, I would highly recommend this dog boarding house to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and fun place to board their dog. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”
“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“I had to schedule this last minute and they were so accommodating. Nikki had a great time. I received pictures and videos. Thank you so much for caring for Nikki. I will definitely use them again.”
“My boys were so relaxed from the moment they met Jinay and her family. They looked comfortable and took off with her without looking back, which said a lot! I have a senior dog and a disabled dog who has to have his bladder expressed. Jinay gladly agreed to care for them without giving it a second thought! I received videos and they looked happy and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely be a repeat client! :)”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”
“The best dog sitter ever. The way he takes care of my dog, no one else could. We were able enjoy our vacation without worrying.My dog loves him. Thank you Alejandro”
“Laurie is Professional extremely through has a LOVE for the Dogs and makes you feel st ease. We interviewed 6-7 dog Sitters and there was just No Comparison. We had to drive 35-40 mins each way to her home to drop off our very Spoiled English Bull Dogs to her home. She sends updates accommodates pick up drop off times. It really helped ensure a relaxing Vacation with out our babies. We have used her multiple times and Reccomened often.”
“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!”
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
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!
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“Maria was amazing! Our pup was so happy there, and we were happy to get the pictures and videos of our girl playing and snuggling. Maria's home is beautiful, and she has amenities just for her furry guests that make the stay extra special. We ended up having some travel complications, and Maria put us at ease and let us know our Rommie would be well taken care of, making the entire ordeal far less stressful.”
“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.”
“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.❤️”
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.
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
“Vanessa and her family took care of Hampton as though he were their own. The updates including photos and videos made myself and family feel extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend their service.”
