Doggy Day Care in Gladwyne

“Kate &Eric were great doggie sitters. I can tell by the pictures Smokey had a great time. I would definitely recommend them. Never needed a dog sitter before, I was a bit nervous to drop my baby off to a strange on such short notice. I would contact them again when in need of a dog sitter in the future. Thanks guys!”

“Christie & Drew were absolutely amazing, and we are so lucky to have found them. They were available last minute for 3 of my 12 hour shifts in a row. I was so nervous to use Rover for the first time for my 8 m.o. pup, but they took the best care of Zeke and he always came home a happy and sleepy puppy at night. By Zeke’s 3rd day in a row of going to their home for the same routine, he was sitting in front of their door at drop off time, wagging his tail, and ran up their stairs immediately without looking back at me to greet everyone 😂 he was clearly so happy to be back with two of his favorite sitters & their sweet baby Margot! We are so grateful for them and Zeke cannot wait to come back! 🥰”

“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”

“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”

“Wow my Maxie’s 1st daycare stay was phenomenal thanks to Tracy and Brian! The videos were so comforting and Maxie seemed very comfortable. I love how she took to Tracy also. I was so nervous to leave my baby and was immediately calmed in Tracy’s serene presence. She was very amenable to my schedule and flexible to possible changes. I am forever grateful!”

“Christopher was amazing as usual! He goes above and beyond and takes my dog for more/longer walks than required, and sends consistent, detailed updates. You can't go wrong with Christopher!”

“Ashley was incredibly kind and answered all my questions! My dog has certain quirks and she learned them and made him feel safe! Will use her services again :)”

About: Hi there! I am Barb, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for animals with you. At 30 years old, I recently took a bold leap and left my corporate job to pursue what I truly love: caring for and helping animals. While I dreamt of becoming a veterinarian, I realized that needles and blood aren't my strong suit. That’s why I decided to focus on pet sitting and dog walking, where I can provide the love and care our furry friends deserve without that aspect of veterinary work. I've been part of the Rover community since 2018, working as a side gig while maintaining my corporate job. Now that I’ve transitioned to full-time pet services, I have the flexibility to accommodate your schedules and ensure your pets receive the attention they need. My experience and dedication to animal welfare only enhance my commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for your beloved pets. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with you and your pets. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Feel free to reach out—I’m here to help! As a full-time pet sitter, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate same-day and last-minute bookings, ensuring I can provide exceptional care whenever needed. Each day offers new opportunities to connect with furry friends, whether it's taking them for walks or simply enjoying their company. I specialize in providing trustworthy and attentive pet care in the comfort of your homes since 2018. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring hands. I like to focus on maintaining routine and comfort for each pet, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I understand the value of a clean space and make it my mission to leave your home exactly as I found it. My extensive experience in house sitting has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation with professionalism and care, ensuring that both pets and homes are well looked after. Your trust is paramount, and I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations every time.

“Kerri rolled out the red carpet for our dog on her first day care visit and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures. Our dog was very comfortable with her. She is a great communicator and really cares about her clients. We look forward to having our dog visit her more!”

“Victoria and Chris were great. Good communication. Sent updates and pictures. Great experience. +++ to Chris for taking Ruby out in a heavy rain storm... good guy.”

“I wish I could tip more! Rover capped me at 30%. Yuiko is the best. Party ran late so I was 1.5 hrs late for pick up but Yuiko made sure I had now worries and was so accommodating. I will be requesting another daycare/boarding session soon. Can't recommend her enough. She is the kindest most attentive care taker we've hired for Wylie.”

Tiffany C.

“Ulku and Andrew were amazing and accommodated my last minute request. They were friendly and quick to respond. They sent me pictures of Skye and I felt safe leaving Skye at their place!”

Jasmine J.

“Erica was better than we could have ever hoped for! She took care of our pup and loved him like he was her own. She communicated extremely well so we were confident in leaving our dog in her care. We met her family and they were all delightful as well! Thank you, Erica!”

Alyse W.

“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”

Brann L.

“Janelle took great care of my pup! She shared plenty of updates and followed his care instructions. My dog had a great time hanging with her and Bentley!”

Audrey W.

“Anqi was extremely caring and attentive to Rico. I was afraid Rico would be nervous/anxious away from me but Rico was calm and happy with Anqi! Anqi space is minimal clean and her backyard is huge. Anqi was also very flexible with my return time as well. Not to mention she accepted the sitting on very short notice! I am very glad to have met Anqi and her dogs and will be a returning client.”

About: We are an active retired couple who have had many dogs, and are available to care for your pet in our home. Our typical schedule with our 9 year old, part Golden Retriever, Rosie, includes an early morning walk in the Wissahickon Park which is a few hundred feet from our home. Midday we head back to the park or take a ride to Bluebell Hill or an enclosed dog park in Gladwyn, depending on weather, crowds, etc. Shorter walks are planned as needed. Swimming, play and fetching are always an adventure option. Fran has done volunteer work at a shelter, dealing with walking and caring for all sorts of dogs, large and small. Curtis grew up on a small farm with many animals. We will work with you and your preferences about your dog’s behavior and needs. Just let us know if your pup has thunder or separation anxiety, or other behavior issues. A certificate of health and vet info are a must to assure a happy and healthy stay Chez Read. We are most familiar with Golden Retrievers and crazy Old English Sheepdogs but love dogs in general. Our dog Rosie must be comfortable with your pup and of course you and your pet should feel the same about us! We will go through a questionnaire with you to better understand your dog’s history and routine. Photo updates will be gladly provided while your dog is on vacation. Our goal is to enjoy, understand and provide a happy vacation for your dog. Older pets are welcomed, but we do have stairs and cannot do heavy lifting. If your dog is high energy and pulls hard on the lead, the dog park is a must as we do not have an enclosed back yard. Our last Golden Retriever was a challenging rescue, very active until he passed at 11 and we miss him very much. He was our 4th Golden Retriever. Currently we have the time, energy and compassion for more dogs. One of us is usually at home to be with the dogs. We are retired and flexible so your pet’s care is our priority. We plan so that one of us is home during your pet’s stay, unless unusual circumstances arise. Ideally, your pet will have more fun than you! Sometimes it takes a day for dogs to settle in and relax. We give lots of walks and attention, while being mindful of the health and safety of your dog. We worry and think about “what if” to avoid problems.

“Jessica & Thomas took great care of Cyrus! He is an anxious dog but they were able to give him the space and comfort he needed to relax!”

“Susan saved us last minute and couldn’t of been a better sitter in our home with our 6 and 7 month old puppies, and for year old cat for the first time of us leaving them. She sent us photos I can’t wait to frame and took videos we loved to watch. We HIGHLY recommend Susan and can’t wait to use her again. The puppies went on awesome walks everyday and are definitely going to miss her!”

“Ridgley is the best! Very professional and caring of our dog!”
