Pet care experience
Pet Lovers
We’re lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have years of experience caring for our own pets as well as helping friends and family with dog sitting and walking. We’re comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from young, energetic pups to seniors who prefer a slower pace and lots of time to relax. We’re an active household and love spending time outdoors, so dogs who enjoy exercise are a great fit for us! We’re happy to take longer walks, trail walks, or runs depending on your dog’s normal routine and abilities. At the same time, we’re just as happy caring for a laid-back pup who would rather take a leisurely stroll and spend the rest of the day relaxing and getting attention. Most importantly, we treat the dogs in our care like we would want someone to treat our own, with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of updates for their people! A Note on Pricing Rover does not allow us to set different rates based on a dog’s age, size, or energy level, even though these factors can make a big difference in the amount of time and hands-on care a stay requires. Because of this, we may manually adjust the booking price after receiving your request and learning a little more about your pup. Young & High-Energy Dogs: For puppies, younger dogs, and dogs with particularly high energy levels, we typically add 20% to our standard rate. We absolutely love energetic pups and are happy to provide long walks, trail walks, runs, playtime, and plenty of attention! However, we’ve found that younger and high-energy dogs generally require significantly more hands-on time, supervision, exercise, and reinforcement of good manners throughout their stay. Any price adjustment will be discussed and made before our meet & greet and before you confirm the booking, so there are no surprises. Senior & Low-Energy Dogs: On the other hand, we’re happy to offer a 20% discount for senior or particularly low-energy dogs whose care needs are relatively simple. If your pup is happiest with a leisurely walk, meals, potty breaks, naps, and plenty of affection, their stay generally requires less intensive care, and we’re happy to reflect that in the price. Please note that age alone does not determine the rate. Senior dogs with more involved medical, mobility, or other special-care needs may remain at our standard rate depending on the level of care required.

Ratings and reviews
Brandi did a great job watching Jax for the week! She was very communicative, did engaging activities with him (e.g. hikes, long walks), and I arrived to find him a very happy and healthy boy at the end of my trip. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
They were great. Took care of our pups for 8-9 hours. When first meet and greet, we never saw our youngest act so calm. It just goes to show what type of people they are!
My dog loves them!
I truly cannot recommend them enough. They watched Lemon for the past week while I was on an international trip, and they completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and communicative. I received so many photos and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind being so far away. It was obvious from every update that Lemon was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Lemon isn’t the easiest dog to watch - he can be a little particular and act up sometimes - so I’m usually very selective about who I trust with him. But Brandi made me feel completely safe and reassured the entire time. When I picked him up today, he honestly seemed a little sad to leave, which says everything. He clearly felt at home and had so much fun running around at their place. They truly treated Lemon like their own, and that means the world to me. I’ve already booked them again in two weeks because I trust them fully. If you’re someone like me who worries about leaving your dog - especially if your pup can be a little high-maintenance — Brandi absolutely deserves Star Sitter status. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is caring, communicative, and genuinely loves the dogs she watches. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Lemon 🐾
Brandi and Mike took such wonderful care of our dog, Coco. She has a medical condition and requires multiple medications, and they were completely comfortable managing her routine. They even sent us confirmations when she received her meds, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We also received tons of photos and updates of Coco enjoying long walks, car rides, and plenty of snuggles. It truly felt like she was treated as a member of their family. She looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. We are so grateful for the care they gave her and would absolutely recommend Brandi and Mike without hesitation!
Brandi was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving Kuma in her care. We loved all the pictures and detailed updates she sent — it meant so much to see how happy and well cared for our pup was while we were away. It was clear she truly cares and goes above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!

Schedule
I am a school teacher, out of the house at 7am and home by 3:30pm. Michael is a tax accountant with a hybrid schedule where he works remotely a couple of days per week. We really enjoy getting outside after work. We’d love to have a dog to take with us. Some typical activities we will bring dogs to are hiking, running, and playing disc golf.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Lots of attention and pets, as well as playtime if your dog is young and high energy. I have a soft spot for elderly dogs too. *A note about our living situation - we purchased a house in downtown Phoenixville (row home) with a modest fenced-in yard. We’re looking forward to hosting there but it is a work in process! While the house is being renovated, we are renting a house in Kimberton (until end of December 2026). This house has a larger fenced-in yard with plenty of room.
A typical day
Running, hiking, trail walks and playing in the backyard. We often go to trails that run parallel to the river if your pup likes to swim. There are tons of trails in town and nearby.

- Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I should know beforehand. I had two elderly dogs so I'm used to administering medicine and helping them up/down stairs. We do typically allow dogs on the couch unless you specify otherwise!
