Doggy Day Care in Acorn

About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.

“Lynda was an amazing host would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care dogs of all kinds, with 4 years of house and dog sitting experience. The longest period I have house/dog sat is 3 weeks. Experience chauffeuring pets. Open schedule, able to work as needed. Experience with rescues. I am currently working from home with a freelance schedule, which means I have a lot of availability for your pets! As long as I have a few hours notice I should be able to make it work. I will keep your pets on a long leash but will walk them through the 1 acre property, and am happy to walk them on the neighboring 200 acres of preserved land.

“John was so good to my girls. He was very understanding of my one pup being nervous. Will definitely ask John to watch my girls again!”

About: I have had pets of my own for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I'm currently a teacher, but will have the summer off which allows me to be more flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I make sure pets are secure at all times.

“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”

“Shamira was fantastic. She sent regular updates throughout the day which included pictures. We will definitely be working with her regularly in the future.”

“We booked Alessandra to watch Ruby three days in a row during the workday, and she truly treated Ruby like one of the family. Where Ruby had previously displayed some anxiety when we left her with others, she was more than happy to spend time at Alessandra's. On top of that Alessandra shared plenty of photos and videos throughout the days that put my mind at ease that Ruby was doing just fine. She also worked with our timing needs. Would absolutely rebook!”

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been an animal rescuer since childhood, and have raised my children (12-20) to do the same. My most recent official role in animal care and rescue has been via fostering dogs and cats through the Morris Animal Refuge in Philadelphia. Unofficially, I have been a proud dog mama for 11 years, and cat mama off and on since childhood. My resident doggo Patches is a proud foster father, and is comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages. If you have a pup or cat that could use a cuddle buddy while you are away, Patches is your guy. I am comfortable with and have experience in caring for cats, dogs, small mammals, birds, and small reptiles. I do have a particular aversion to cricket feeding, but we can make it work with super worms lol I do not know much about fish or amphibian care, but I am open to learning. I am a stay at home parent with my youngest children entering middle and high school, so my schedule is fairly open. I’m looking for furry friends to hang out with while I’m home during the day. It’s gets a little lonely in here 😊 I unfortunately do have a disability that impacts the right side of my body. Because of this, I am nervous about larger dogs that jump often (not just excited hellos), or who have strong prey drives and could potentially drag me on a walk. My dog Patches (50lbs) is walked with a gentle lead harness to keep things safe for both of us. I can handle dogs his size - or a bit larger - who do not jump, or who are low energy and would prefer to hang in the backyard rather than taking longer walks. I care for all animals as I would a human family member. I am comfortable with normal day to day care, as well as those who require special needs. I try to be very respectful of the personality of each pet. Some animals are nervous at first, and I’d like to respect their need for space and/or time to warm up to me. Other animals are excited to have a brand new friend, and I am too! Basically, I try to match the energy of who I am hanging out with.

“Our 11 month old Cavapoo seemed to be very happy with her stay. They sent a ton of photos and it was an added bonus that they have a very nice dog. She was able to hang with her new friend all day. They are very responsive and flexible. we feel comfortable booking them for extended overnight stays.”

“Mike was amazing with Pepper. He took him yo park, played with him, sent us photos and videos. Pepper was very happy!”

“I met Sarah before my initial drop off. She is patient and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease since this was my first time leaving Carson with someone other than family. Sarah sent pictures to let me throughout the day to let me know everything was going well. Carson had a great day and was exhausted when he came home. We will DEFINITELY be back.”

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
