Doggy Day Care Academy Gardens

About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families! Can do early morning or late night walks, then can help a puppy with frequent potty breaks. I have an outdoor space of my own, and a backyard with a doggy potty station. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, with 2 cats. My home multiple security features in the common area, and in the home. Personally willing to make a detailed list of events from their stay, and back it up with photos and videos.

“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”

“What an operation she's got! She had meatball for about 6 hours and WORE. HER. OUT!!!! I can only imaging how much she played and how great a time she had. Meatball and I have more than a little separation anxiety for one another, so I don't like leaving her with just anyone. I will happily run back to Roseanna. Thank you, Roseanna. You made a terrible day, tolerable.”

About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside. Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it.

About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.

“Shannon is fabulous! So kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious little pup. A very inviting environment that works well for my Lucy, plus a fenced in yard! (I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t leave this review. I don’t want her to be booked the next time Lucy needs to be watched…)”

“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”

“I’ve used Michelle and fiancé a couple times to watch Angel and definitely will be using again in the the future. Super quick to reply to messages and sends photos and videos throughout the stay. They were attentive to Angels needs and she always comes back happy. Definitely recommend using them if you ever need!”

“Gabriela is the best! She went over and beyond to make my son feel comfortable while he enjoyed his stay. Thank you so much for taking care my lil man. I will definitely be rebooking in the near future!”

About: Hi! I’ve had pets all my life and now have my own friendly dog. I have a degree in veterinary medicine. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I offer a calm, pet-friendly home, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. My dog enjoys company, so your pup won’t feel lonely! I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and give medications if needed. I care for every animal like they’re part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Every day I go for a walk with my dog — it’s a part of our day we all enjoy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I take good care of my own dog by regularly washing her, trimming her nails, cleaning her ears and teeth when needed, and making sure she stays fresh and comfortable. I also give her deworming tablets on a regular schedule to keep her healthy. I pay close attention to hygiene and health to ensure pets feel their best.

“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”

“Christine was such a help last minute when my sitter canceled on me! My puppy took to her right away and he had so much fun at her house with the other doggies. I felt comfortable right away knowing my pup was in good hands! Very trustworthy and reliable you can deff count on her to take good care of your pet!!”

“My dog, Riley, has separation anxiety and this when is the first time he was left with somebody else at their house. After 6 hours, when I came to pick him up, I have never seen him so at ease and tuckered out! I saw videos of him running with the caregiver's other dog, and he was having the time of his life! I am so extremely glad that I found Joe, and I'm going to use him in the future for sure!”

About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 10 years now. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I can feed, medicate, walk, sleep over and care for your fur baby! I specialize in high energy pets that need just a tad bit more attention! I am an avid pet lover and cannot wait to meet your four legged family member! I am currently working 3 days a week and am home plenty to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve! I always check up in the morning, give them space when they’d like it, come back multiple times for playtime, make sure they ate some and do everything to make them comfortable! I do not have a fence but I do have a lot of grassy areas for outdoor loving pets! I love playing in that space, long walks and outdoor time to help get their energy out! I always take things slow and at the pets pace.

“Beth was available and flexible when I found myself in a pinch and needing just one day of care for my pup. Her family took good care of my pooch and gave him lots of cuddles, which I know he enjoyed.”

“My dog is a rescue from China and I have used Anthony 3 times! This was a drop off for the day. Cooper is well taken care of and just relaxed until I pick him up!”

About: I have ten years of experience working with seniors in the past and I have 3 amazing, older kids that love to care for animals. I took some time off of work to help homeschool my kids. But my kids have a pretty easy schedule. Therefore, I have a lot of time to care for animals. I have a pregnant neighbor so she usually needs help with her dog. I like to give them 2-3 walks a day, bathe them if needed, feed them dog food with lots of nutrients, and make sure they are hydrated. My clients dog is pretty chill so I usually just pet him and feed him. Pets fit into my daily routine because I have a pretty open schedule and have a lot of time to care for the dogs which I’m caring for I have a fenced in yard and everything that can cause harm is door away. I also have smoke detectors, carbon dioxide, and a fire extinguisher.

About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life starting from when I first started begging my mom for one! I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Your pet's happiness is the most important thing for me. I will do whatever I can to make sure they have the best day! Also a huge bonus for your pet, I am an organic pet treat baker~! Goodies will always be shared (if allowed.) I am a student with a flexible schedule, so I study mostly at home. During my time at home I normally try to go on a few walks a day which would be great accompanied by a pet! I live in a very spacious two bedroom apartment. I do not personally have a yard but I love to spend time with dogs in the fenced in dog park in my apartment complex. my apartment is always dog proof and cat proof.

About: Hi there! I've taken care of dogs and had my own dogs for over 20 years. Currently I’m a full time, work from home professional, which means your dog will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Our household is incredibly peaceful. I have a resident cat and a Bichon Frise who are both very mellow and welcoming to new friends. I have a fully fenced-in yard. Because I am home all day, I easily adapt to your dog’s needs. My home is best suited for small to medium dogs, as my Bichon naturally prefers companions who are his own size or smaller. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home! I am working from home and able to provide frequent potty breaks and constant attention during the day and after work. I can easily adjust to your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard. I also like to walk my dogs in the neighborhood or Pennypack trail. I live 5 minutes away from Lorimer park trail.

“Lyly was totally cool with me leaving storm with her all day, I’m a current student and I also work , on my first visit I forgot my leash and she gave me a better one .Lylys service is such a good help I encourage you to book.”
