“Eric and Raz were wonderful!! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them. Highly recommend and hope to use them again the next time we’re in Philly!”
“Ginger was amazing with Penny! Penny can be a bit anxious when staying with new people but she made her feel right at home from the start. She sent regular updates and made sure she had plenty of exercise. I felt really comfortable leaving penny with her and would highly recommend her to others!”
“I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“This is the second time Zoey stayed with them and I only have positive things to say! Peter and Julie are wonderful as always and we will definitely continue to use them again.”
“Loved leaving Lucy for the weekend with Hunter and Lauryn! They provided us with plenty of pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing, and I felt confident that Lucy was in great hands while we were gone. Thanks Hunter and Lauryn!”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Kerry is clearly a true dog lover. She took such excellent care of our senior girl Winnie while we were out of town! Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!”
“It was my first time using Rover. Alexis was fantastic at watching my dog, Prince! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Definitely a much better experience than a traditional doggy hotel. I will be using her service again. Also, I highly recommend her.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Penelope was really good for the days I left Seven in her care. She found a solution to a minor issue we faced and put my mind at ease while I was away. She made sure to send pics and updates. She took him out to exercise. I could tell that Seven was in good care. I would book Penelope again.”
“Chloe once again did an amazing job with Theo. This was Theo’s 2nd time staying with Chloe and he absolutely loves her. We left Theo for about 10 days which was the longest we have ever been away from him and Chloe had our minds at ease the entire time. I would highly recommend Chloe and will be using her again in the future!”
“Derek always takes such amazing care of Kobe! We are so appreciative of Derek’s consistent communication, endless love of Kobe, and willingness to accommodate Kobe’s needs.”
“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She was very easy to communicate with, she gave us frequent updates including pictures and videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Rhea and her husband took excellent care of my dog Benny. She sent updates/photos so I knew how he was doing and could have peace of mind knowing that he was being treated so well and was happy staying with them!”
“Renee was amazing with Ruby! Ruby had soooo much fun with her dog, Toffee, over the weekend. I got plenty of pictures and updates throughout which gave me great peace of mind. I don’t think Ruby even wanted to come home at the end, I will definitely be booking with Renee again!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

I cannot recommend T highly enough! From the moment I dropped Keeter off, I knew he was in caring and capable hands. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay and she was personable and funny and got my humor. What truly impressed me was how observant she was regarding my dog’s health and medical needs. She noticed things I hadn’t even recognized myself and took the time to share helpful information and suggestions. She even purchased items with her own money to help support his well-being, which was an extraordinary act of kindness that I will never forget. She consistently sent photos, videos, and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every update that my dog was not only being cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and she exceeded every expectation I had. I would happily book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, responsible, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to the animals in her care. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy — she will def be my designated dog sitter from here on out !
This was our second time boarding with Emma. She was fantastic caring for my dog for 3 weeks across two boards. The first time I had to pivot after another sitter canceled last minute and she was flexible for a meet-and-greet before my dog’s stay. My dog was so happy to see Emma again! Emma communicated promptly, is incredibly sweet and keeps me at ease with regular updates, photos and thoughtful questions. We can’t wait to board with her next!
