Pet Boarding Florence

“Greetings, I was taking my first vacation in ten years due to an ongoing illness. I didn't want to kennel my dog since she's never been in a cage. I found Rover and decided to give it a try. So far as Janet and Ken, they are genuinely nice people. My dog took to them well, and it let me get away without worrying about her. When I returned home and picked her up, she was acting like the 'happy' dog she is, as she was before I left. Janet and Ken took really good care of her. There are places I'd like to go in the future, and I've already told Janet and Ken that I'd like to have them watch my dog for me again. The price is very fair, and they did a great job!”

“Kristen and her family was very welcoming to my baby Oreo. The communication was both prompt and clear. She sent many pictures of Oero the whole time. I definitely would recommend her. And hopefully we can use her again.”

“Caitlin was one of the best rover sitters we’ve had. Very attentive and responsive to what our dog needed. Excellent communication. We intend to use her again!”

Michael L.

“Our puppy, Quinn had the best stay with Amanda and her family. She was so very well taken care of and had lots and lots of play time. Can’t wait to book again!”

Melissa S.

“Adrianna was great. She kept in touch with a handful of photos over the two weeks she was sitting for me and she feel in love with my Chloe. If we need a sitter in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. As a child I cared for cats and now as an adults I care for my dogs and my family and friends dogs as well. Love taking dogs for walks and to the park. Experienced in bathing dogs as well. I work full-time as a teacher, but I am available on weekends to stop in and check on your animals or take them for a walk. I am willing to watch animals in my house over the weekend as well. I have two for babies that will keep yours company. Plenty of space for them to play in and out side of the house. No fence but I have a lead, and I am happy to take many walks a day.

“A great family atmosphere She was treated like one of their own their own Annabelle came back not having lost weight , not anxious or skittish - she got right back into our routine Would definitely use Denise’s services again”

“This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting and Nicole couldn’t have been a better choice! She is well experienced with a wide range of dogs and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated and took great care of my pup. Thanks Nicole!”

About: You know that “can you imagine telling the dog sitter this?” trend? Well you sure should. You can tell me. He only drinks from the bathtub faucet? She needs her blanket tucked a specific way? He gets 1 & 1/4 treats at exactly 8pm (and he KNOWS when it is exactly 8pm)? I want the whole list, and I’ll follow it. And document it for laughs later. Hi, I'm Lucille! I'm a first aid and pet CPR certified dog lover in the Haddon Township/Collingswood area offering drop-in visits, walks, and overnight/boarding care for pups who deserve a home away from home and not a kennel. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, and after enough people said "you should branch out and do this on Rover!" I decided to listen. So after deciding to take a break from corporate America, here I am! I spent 15 years in HR, which means I'm the person who reads the instructions and sends the update with documentation before you have to ask. Your dog's routine, meds, quirks, and "absolutely-not" list will be followed to the letter, with photos and check-ins so you can relax. For 8 years I was lucky to be a rescue mom to Padfoot, a 8lb toy poodle who came to me with behavior issues. He taught me patience, how to read a dog's body language, and how to earn trust on THEIR terms. I approach every dog just like Padfoot taught me, with calm energy, clear structure, and lots and LOTS of affection (if that’s their thing, of course!) Every new booking will start with a meet-and-greet. I'd love to meet you and your pup(s)! I am currently in the job market so while I am not working full time I have flexible availability. I cannot say I am a particularly active person, so don’t expect hikes and walks for miles and miles. However I do love the quiet walk around my neighborhood, which is a loop just short of a mile. **New Sitter Rates: - Boarding (in my home): $50/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - House sitting (in your home): $70/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - Drop-in visit or walk (30 min): $25 Add-ons: - Additional dog: +$10/night (boarding & house sitting); +$5 per walk/visit - Puppy under 1 year: +$5/night - Holiday surcharge: +20% per night, walk or visit Pick-up & drop-off services: - One way (within 5 miles): $10 - Round trip: $15 - Beyond 5 miles: +$1/mile **All rates applicable to Rover’s booking fees, taxes, etc. - I do not have a yard, but for outdoor space have a balcony that is secure. Pups will never be let outside unattended. - I can accommodate pee pee pads on said balcony, if needed. - I do not have a very large apartment, so I might not be the best fit for a dog that needs a lot of space for big zoomies. - Speaking of apartments, sorry but dogs that are frequent barkers could be problematic, so please consider that if you’re looking for a longer stay. - I can accommodate however the dog would like to sleep. While I love all dogs, my allergies do not, so unfortunately dogs that shed will not be able to sleep in bed with me. I will be very sad about this the entire time and reserve the right to change my mind. - NO cats, or dogs that share a household with cats. That’s where my allergies have set a firm boundary.

“Lindsey was fantastic! She sent pics and updates and made Ruby so welcome in her home. I will definitely book with her again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 we’ve always been a dog family. Even now at the age I am we still have dogs we walk them, take them outside every couple hours and feed them twice a day I have a passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I make time every day to feed pets, provide fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I keep a consistent schedule and can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra walks, medication, or sticking to their normal feeding schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I provide updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for during their time away.

“Marti had a lovely extended stay with Meg while we traveled. We were confident that she was safe, sound and happy and know that both Marti and Meg are looking forward to their next visit together in the not-too-distant future!”

“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter! Her dedication and communication are unparalleled. She genuinely cares for the dog’s well-being during their stay. It’s evident how much the dog enjoys her company. Vanessa consistently goes above and beyond. This was my second time entrusting my pet to her, and I would repeatedly choose her whenever needed. With Vanessa, I can rest assured that my dog is in the best hands.”

About: I’m looking for extra income and I figured what better way than to do something I love and enjoy, caring for and playing with fur babies! I have always had a dog from the time I was little and even now I have a 3 fur babies of my own. I see animals as our family, not just a pet. Our fur babies and fur ever friends are very important and deserve the best care which I’m willing to provide! I will follow all of the owners instructions, be patient and kind with your pet, and make them as happy and comfortable as possible! I look forward to helping with the care of your special fur baby! For now I am only offering drop ins and walks but plan to offer boarding at a later time. I’m open to meet and greets if that is something that would make the process more comfortable for both the owner and pet.

“My dog seemed to have an absolute blast with Hendry, I would highly recommend him! He's a relatively high energy puppy and he was able to be active throughout his stay. Hendry was always responsive and sent updates throughout!”

Danielle S.

“Zyiana is an excellent sitter. Sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. He seemed very happy during his stay. I highly recommend and will book again!”

Maritzabel Z.

“Madeline took care of our pup. We were extremely nervous as he is only 4 weeks old and it was his first time away from us. She sent pictures to keep us updated and eased our concerns of leaving our baby while going away for a couple days. Highly recommend.”

Yemaiza O.

“We felt that April was very safe and super loved by John and his family. We loved getting all the updates every day, it was such a peace of mind. We would highly recommend John to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

About: I love taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood and the park there's nothing like getting fresh air and sunshine with your four legged friends I am a sahm so I am very flexible My kids are all in school during the day so I'm free on short notice for walks and feedings I am careful to not cause any messes I'll feed and take your dog out with a sense of ease and peace of mind knowing they are in good hands

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
