“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”

“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”


“I was really nervous about leaving my 6 pound chihuahua with a new person while I went to work during the day. With 3 of 4 legs not working, and a weak bladder, Pinky is quite fragile. Her stay with Madeline was wonderful. She coaxed her to eat, separated her from all dogs except her little terrier, and was forgiving of Pinky’s incontinence. While I hope tomorrow at Pinky’s neurologist visit we can get some answers and Pinky will be strong enough to be left alone after the holidays, if we need daycare again we will definitely be back.”
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”

“Thank you so much for looking after Griffin and Bandit for the day! I'm a very nervous dog mom and it's such a relief to know they have someone who they can hang with who will take very good care of them. I appreciate all the updates and pictures throughout the day it made me feel like I wasn't far away from them. ☺️”

“Juliana was so sweet and out meet and greet ahead of time was fabulous! Our Puppy got along so well with her pups and one other she was watching. Paulie is still sleeping off all the sun and activity he had yesterday!!”

“Chris has taken care of Pinto while I was away traveling. He did an amazing job, i didn’t have to worry even for one moment. He took care of her so well, and I would recommend him to anyone with a pet!”

“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”

“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”

About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I'm happy to give updates throughout visits, including photos or videos, and will send regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. My schedule is flexible. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your spring and summer travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability.
“Linda took excellent care of Finn! She places a high emphasis on safety and making sure dogs get along, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Finn in her care. She communicated often and sent pictures and videos. Her dog Pearl is also very sweet and lovely. We would be happy to leave our dog in her care again!”

Every dog is different, which is why I create customized training plans based on your dog’s needs and your goals as an owner. I believe training is about more than commands—it’s about building a strong bond rooted in trust, respect, and consistency. I also provide personalized guidance so you can confidently continue the training at home. I’m also a proud dog owner myself and currently have an 8-month-old pup, so I fully understand the time, patience, and care it takes to raise a happy, well-balanced dog.

Darby dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Georgia was very calm and well-behaved with Sydney. Sydney was very professional, responsive, friendly, and flexible with our haphazard schedule. We felt safe leaving our 65lb reactive pittie with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Georgia 🩷! We would definitely be interested in using Sydney's daycare services again!

I just want to say how very pleased I am with the support my dog Kashius aka Kash has received. He’s been doing doggy daycare with Dante for about three weeks now, usually 2–3 days a week, so he’s not home alone while I’m working. From the moment we arrive, Kash is always excited to see Dante and head inside. When I pick him up, he’s excited to see me too, but you can tell he’s torn between coming home with mom or staying a little longer. That tells me he really enjoys being there. I really appreciate the daily videos, pictures, and report cards. Since I’m used to seeing my dog all the time when I’m home, getting those updates during the day gives me real peace of mind. Seeing his walks, playtime, and even the updates about his “pees and poops” lets me know he’s being well cared for and having a great time with the other dogs. One of my favorite parts is that Dante takes the dogs on a walk before pickup. By the time Kash gets home, he’s happily exhausted and ready for bed after a full day of fun. I also really appreciate the communication at both drop-off and pickup. Dante is attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cares about the dogs in his care. My boy absolutely loves going there, and that means everything to me.

Rachel was amazing with our dog Chuck. Her professionalism and responsiveness was unmatched to any other Rover sitter we’ve tried. During the day Rachel would send updates with videos of our puppy. He came home happy as ever. Anytime we have puppy daycare needs we will be using Rachel.

Chris is a fantastic dog walker and sitter. He was able to do a couple of daycare days for Whimzy when we needed to have work done at the house last minute, which is immensely helpful. Chris is so good with Whimzy, and she loves spending time with him. We're very grateful for Chris!

Thank you so much for looking after Griffin and Bandit for the day! I'm a very nervous dog mom and it's such a relief to know they have someone who they can hang with who will take very good care of them. I appreciate all the updates and pictures throughout the day it made me feel like I wasn't far away from them. ☺️
