Tim sent lots of great updates and photos of Delphi while I was away on a work trip and made me feel like my fur baby was super well taken care of!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 31, 2026

I left my dog in Tim’s care for the day to attend a very important event, but was a bit concerned as my dog was clearly a bit off that morning. Tim was understanding, asked all the right questions, and I left assured that my Tim would keep me updated as needed. All went well, and I again appreciated the loving care Tim provided!

Boarding • Jul 25, 2026

I was a bit nervous considering boarding my timid senior dog in a new home for an extended time, but after two days of daycare with Tim I knew they’d be a good match! Tim knew exactly how to encourage her to be comfortable in his home with him, so that day by day she became more trusting, and by week’s end she was cuddled beside him. I was able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing FIFA was well cared-for, safe and content. We will be back for sure!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 18, 2026

Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!

Tim took really great care of both my pets, and sent us updates throughout the day. They were comfortable and happy at his home. We trust him and look forward to leaving our pets in his care when we leave town.

Tim was very responsive and took great care of Yuna. He was open to a last minute meet & greet and provided lots of photos of our pup throughout the day. We really appreciate his attention to her and would book with him again!

Schedule

I’m home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Your dog will receive consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day — not just quick check-ins between other commitments. I’m able to maintain reliable routines, provide frequent potty breaks, and offer plenty of playtime and snuggles. Because I’m home most of the time, your pup won’t feel lonely or uncertain — they’ll always know when their next walk, meal, or cuddle is coming.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don’t have a private yard, I do have easy access to a nearby park as well as the Schuylkill River Dog Run. I also live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of dog-loving neighbors, making it perfect for relaxed, enjoyable walks.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and relaxed. Every activity is tailored to your pet's personality, energy level, and routine so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

As much as I love puppies, I only accept dogs that are fully housebroken and at least 2½ years old. Living in a Condo means there may be brief encounters with other residents and pets, so it’s essential all canine guests are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable in shared spaces. Before a booking, it's important for me to know your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any other pertinent information. I also offer daycare and ask that boarding and daycare requests be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. To ensure a smooth and stress-free stay, the more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.
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.
