House Sitting in Gradyville

“Roxanne was great staying with my 2 dogs. Roxanne took very good care of them. They seemed to really like her. When we returned they were very happy. So sent updates and pictures. I really felt they were in good hands. Thanks!”

“This is the 2nd time Summer has dog sat for me in my home. She’s proactive, quick to communicate and is comfortable with my somewhat reactive but loving pup. I’ve booked her for 2 more trips.”

“Kathy was great with our boy Roadie. He is a rescue and has some fear. She saw this right away and won him over so quickly. She went outside with him every time he went out even though our yard is fenced in and she never left him alone. They became best buddies in no time. It was such a relief to have her at our home to take care of him. It was also nice of her to clean up!”

“Noelle was fantastic with my shy/anxious buddy. She sent me pictures throughout - mostly of her rubbing his belly or playing in the backyard- He warmed up to her almost immediately. A rare occurrence! Noelle was a great communicator, reliable, and responsible. And, she obviously loves dogs. Five star!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Annie as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our high-energy, anxious pup, and we could tell from the start that our dog felt safe and loved in her care. Annie was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending us tons of updates, messages, and pictures, which made us feel at ease the entire time. It was clear she went above and beyond to ensure our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since grade school and truly can’t remember a time without pets in my life. I grew up with two dogs, Bailey and Shakespeare, a cat named Tooka, and a rotating cast of birds, fish, hermit crabs, and other small chaos-makers. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets, personalities, and quirks. 😊 For over a decade, I’ve been my sister’s go-to pet sitter, and more recently I spent three years in Southern Vermont house and pet sitting, caring for homes and animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. As a seasoned thru hiker and outdoor enthusiast, I love taking pups for long walks and soaking up the sun. I’m quick to respond, reliable, and responsible. I also genuinely love hanging out with animals and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and a bit spoiled while you’re away. I recently returned home from New Zealand, where I spent four months thru-hiking the length of the country. I’m now back in the suburbs of Philadelphia working as a substitute teacher. I’m an early riser and usually wrap up with work around 2:30pm. That schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning feedings and walks, afternoon check-ins after school, and evening visits as needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. Please share your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I’m happy to follow them closely. I’m flexible and committed to caring for your pets in a way that matches how you would care for them, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away.

“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”

“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”

“Kai and Devon were great pet sitters for us during the week that we were away on vacation! They communicated well with us and provided updates on how our pets were doing. They kept our house clean and even took the time to wash sheets, towels, and blankets before they left. Overall they did a great job for us and we would definitely book them again!”

Kim K.

“Angela was very attentive to the pets and kept me informed with plenty of updates throughout the day. She was very polite and professional - I will certainly book her again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and have walked dogs and pet sat through high school and college. I am excited to meet your pups! I am home for the summer before I start a full-time job. I have tons of dog walking availability between studying for the LSAT and I am super flexible! I am happy to feed, walk, crate, and play with your pups while you’re away. I love long walks and can follow any directions you leave me.

“Paz did an absolutely wonderful job watching our three pups! They were very comfortable with her. She sent lots of photos and updates. We highly recommend her, and would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾”

“Highly recommend. Matthew did a wonderful job caring for our pets and our house. Terrific communication and photos every day. Thank you Matthew!”

“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”

“Norbert did a great job, first by saving us with an unexpected last minute booking. He even accommodated our tight timetable. When he arrived he asked good questions and he kept us up to date during our trip with photos and notes. Special kudos for going above and beyond. We definitely recommend him.”

About: I’ve had the joy of taking care of many different dogs throughout my life. Growing up I owned my own dog, and over the years I’ve helped neighbors and friends with walking, feeding, and looking after their pets. I love spending time, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and loved! I currently am a full-time student at Notre Dame of Maryland University, so I have classes in the morning and afternoon and am usually open on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule the best I can! When caring for a dog in a client’s home I always aim to respect and follow their rules and routines as closely as possible to keep their pets comfortable. I’ll make sure they have their food and water, have potty breaks, and some love and attention! I will also make sure the space is clean and will respect the home as if it were my own.

“Laura did a fantastic job with our three fur babies! We came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean home. Thank you so much! Will use again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and grew up in a household with multiple dogs at all times. I spent a lot of time helping care for them and became very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels from a young age. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, cleaning ears, administering medication, and caring for senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues like arthritis and hip problems. I’m also comfortable helping dogs that may need extra patience, attention, or supervision. I recently graduated college and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting visits. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I’m experienced with crating dogs when needed, handling dogs on walks, and caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs.

About: As a lifelong animal person, I’ve provided dependable care for many dogs of friends and family over the past several years. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering lots of love, and opening my home for safe and comfortable stays. I work part-time Monday through Thursday, so I can provide care in the mornings and evenings, with a few hours away mid-day for work. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for all-day care and walks. I have a fenced-in backyard and a pool for dogs who love to swim. Your pup will also have a built-in playmate with my dog who is very friendly. Plus, I’m right next to walking trails that are perfect for daily walks.
