“I just adopted my dog a month ago and this was my first time leaving him since I brought him home. Until now we hadn’t been apart more than a day while I’m at work. I was super super nervous and nearly cried when I left him, but Yuhan made the process easy and positive. She sent me pictures of him every other day and gave me tons of updates on how he was doing. He got to play with a bunch of other dogs and looked super happy in all the pictures she sent me. I’m way more comfortable leaving him now and I’ll definitely be looking to rebook with Yuhan again. He got to go on a vacation of his own and seemed to have tons of fun while in her care.”


“My Lab puppy, Juni, had a wonderful time at Jennifer's place. It's such a nice set up for dogs and Juni was thrilled to be able to run all over the yard. They provide excellent care, and we'll definitely be repeat customers!”

About: My sister Karen and I dog sit together, offering your pup double the care, love, and attention. We've both grown up with dogs and have cared for them since childhood, which gave us a strong foundation in understanding their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve expanded that experience by volunteering at animal shelters, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I work from home, so your dog will never be alone. Between the two of us, we make sure every pup in our care gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment. Whether it’s reinforcing training routines, daily walks, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to what your dog needs most. Your pet will be treated like family—because to us, they are. As a work-from-home sitter, your dog will have my attention and company all day long. Our neighborhood is surrounded by parks, including the wonderful Wissahickon Valley, so we'll enjoy lots of refreshing walks together to stay active. I offer pet care in my apartment which includes access to a large open yard and a designated dog park for exercise and recreation. Crate options are available for dogs that require or are accustomed to them.

“First time using Rover and Christina made it very easy. She was flexible with timing and Bella came back very happy and healthy. I received updates and photos!”


“Noah was fantastic looking after our dog, Bradley, while we were out of town for a few days. Bradley had a really great time staying with him and with his dog, Ginsy! We got lots of pictures and updates of Bradley looking right at home with Noah and Ginsy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home for their dog!”


“Great communication and a great sitter for Salsa. Salsa loved her time with Sprinkles and Jasmine. I definitely will use Jasmine again. Salsa enjoyed her adventure to the dog park.”


“Danielle was awesome with my dog beans!!! Gave check ins, spent a lot of quality time and just exceeded my expectations!! Would highly suggest!”



“Yulia took great care of our pup! She shared how he was doing and answered any questions I had. Our pup came home in good spirits and healthy, which has not always happened with other sitters. We would definitely use her again.”

“Kamoy was amazing with Sophie. She stayed in communication and made sure Sophie felt safe and comfortable. 10/10. Sophie even hugged her goodbye! I would absolutely book Kamoy again for doggy care. I highly recommend.”



“Nicole was so understanding and sympathetic when I dropped off my 4 month old pup - it was my first time leaving her and it was tough! She sent at least two pics each day of the visit, along with updates on how great she was doing and what a pleasure she was to have around. I don't know why I was worried - Nicole is the best :)”

Jimmy M.
“My dog Bella had a tough early life, so she's quite anxious with new people. It takes time to get her to open up to people, but Jimmy and Karen have the incredible patience to work with her. Whether it's a quick walk, or an overnight stay, they took the time to make sure she felt safe and comfortable at her own pace. Now she gets so excited when she sees them; wiggles, kisses, the whole nine-yards! 😁 I'm so lucky to have found them, they have truly made life so much easier!”
