Pet care experience

We'd love to love your dog!

Many years of caring for my own dogs so compassionately led to friends and family asking if I'd watch their pets too. We don’t consider dog sitting work at all, and we think that shines through to the many dog parents who've entrusted us with their loved ones care. We love to send pictures and videos of the fun your pet is having with us so you can relax and take comfort in knowing your pet is being well cared for. We specialize in pampering the smaller discerning canine customers (ie. spoiled), since both of our babies are twenty five pounds themselves. For everyone’s peace of mind, Dana and I always suggest a Meet and Greet at our home prior to booking any stay. Thank you.

Dana & Jonathan are WONDERFUL!!!! This was the first time leaving our Boston Terrier, Buddy, outside our home. They completely set our minds at ease sending lots of photos and videos. THANK YOU, Dana & Jonathan, for taking such good care of Buddy! We hope to be booking you again soon.

Jonathan and Dana are excellent pet sitters. I think my dog enjoyed being with them more than with me. They gave Molly a lot of attention and excellent care. I would love them to watch Molly again when we go away.

IMPORTANT- 1. It is imperative that all dogs that stay with us get along with cats. This must be noted in your dog's Pet Details section. We have two cats that are typically relegated to the basement, but one was recently injured by a guest dog to the point of requiring ER veterinarian care. 2. To remain compliant Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Dog Law, we must have proof of a current rabies vaccination on file for every pet that we board. Photos or photocopies of your dog’s collar tag cannot be accepted. Dana and I had to spend quite a bit of money for vet fees because one of our cats contracted Bordetella (kennel cough). Since we only board dogs, we can only assume it was transmitted from a dog we boarded. Although not required by law, for the safety and well-being of our own pets, as well as those in our care, we ask that your dog has his/her current vaccinations for Bordetella, Canine Parvovirus, Distemper, and Canine Hepatitis. As long as your dog is not aggressive I'm sure we can work any issues out. While we don’t require crate trained dogs, we welcome crates if your dog is used to being in their crate while they are alone. We have found that this helps some dogs feel safe in a new environment. 3. We cannot accept same day, or last minute requests to dog sit. This isn't fair to us, our dog, or your furry loved one(s).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
