“Gregory is absolutely great with my pup. Spent lots of time to give my boy cuddles, took him to his play group and reliable. I have rebooked him a couple times since he's been great.”


“Omg! We are so lucky to have found Leah! We had a kitten who is a very scared girl, and Leah was able to help her feel comfortable and safe after she was hiding for a few hours. I was so nervous biscuit wouldn’t warm up and I would be worrying about her during our whole trip but Leah is literally such a pro she was able to ease biscuit out of hiding and comfortable in no time! She sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind. She also was a great chef for our picky eater who eats freeze dried raw food (which other people always struggle to make the way sniffers likes it). Overall we are so pleased with Leah and her husband and would recommend her to anyone!!!!”


“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”


“Outstanding dog/house sitter. Laura cared for our elderly dog for 2 weeks. She was great about giving meds and loving on our sweet boy. She followed instructions perfectly and was very neat and respectful to our home which was in perfect condition upon return. She even washed sheets and towels and remade bed before she left. Most importantly, our dog was relaxed and comfortable when we returned. So we’re sure he was well looked after. Would 100% use Laura again.”


About: I am super fun and energetic. I absolutely love to play and take care of animals. I have a certification in Dog Psychology & Training and I'm available for overnight visits! I'm available for any of your daytime needs for your pet. I have owned, and still own, many dogs in the past so I have no problems with breed restrictions and I'm not hesitant with any dog. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and give them the care they deserve, I'm here! Please consider me when you're looking for a person to care care of your little, or big furry friend! Thank you so very much! I have 3 cats of my own and my parents have 2 dogs, so I'm constantly taking care of animals. I also have 5 foster kittens that mix into my daily routine! Pets in my home are well taken care of. They are given all the food and supplements they need! They also always have clean litter and a vacuumed space, so they don't track litter around the house.

“Dawn was so caring and loving with my girls. This was a last minute booking , but it felt like she had known my pups forever. Dawn took her time to get to know each of my dogs’ personalities and made sure they were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions. My house looked great upon my return. I will definitely will be using her again in the near future!”


“Kayla was awesome. She stayed at our place with our older pup and new puppy. Sent us updates and pictures. We felt totally confident in leaving our pups with her so we could go and relax. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


About: I have been around animals my whole life and a little over a year ago I start dog sitting and cat sitting for my family members, my bosses, and my friends. When I am responsible of someones animals I treat them like my own. I go on a lot of walks so your animal will never get left just hanging around the house. I do usually like to meet with the owners and meet the pets before hand just so I can get to know everything about you and your animals so they can receive the best care while your’e away I am currently working part time at baileys bar and grill, I have been there for 4 years and I plan on staying there while im in college. I usually am busy between the times of 10-4 however I can always run over for your animals on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11-1. I have a break between classes. I am going to school at bucks county community college in newtown and bristol so if your close to those areas thats even better! My whole life my animals have been my best friends, when I get home they are the first to be greeted before anyone else. I always make sure they have water and fed in time, either way they will remind me if i’m a minute late lol. I am very easy to fit other animals schedules as i know every household is different.

“Wendy was able to sit for us after a short notice and was very thorough throughout her stay. She was able to keep us in the loop as this was the first time we left our dogs with a rover sitter. The dogs adored her! She left the house well kept and even vacuumed before she left! We will definitely use her again.”


“Alyssa was wonderful with my Sascha. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Alyssa made Sascha and me feel very comfortable leaving her with Alyssa. Alyssa kept me updated and sent pictures to reassure me Sascha was doing just fine. I highly recommend this young lady to sit with your beloved pet. You can trust that she will take good care of them.”


“Bill was amazing. We knew right from the get-go that he would be responsible and take care of our wild animals. We will definitely have him back and HIGHLY recommend his services!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle as our in-home dog sitter! Even though it was just for a day, she made a big impression. Finn was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Danielle followed all our instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of updates and photos, and treated our home with the utmost respect. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Finn was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible sitter. Thank you again!”

About: What can I say... dogs make the world a better place! Your fur baby deserves lots of love and attention. I've loved dogs since I was a kid. As an adult I've had the pleasure of bonding with and caring for a number of breeds varying in ages and sizes over the years: from shy teacups to oversized mushes. Since 2023, I decided to make more time for sharing my love and playfulness through dog sitting, dog walking, play dates and even doing dog portraits! With my flexible schedule as a freelancer, I enjoy making time for play dates, snuggles and most meal times with your sweet fur baby throughout the week. If you're interested in having me dog sit overnight, we can consider it after 3 completed regular visits to your home (over a minimum of 2 calendar days) to make sure everyone is comfortable beforehand. Do you prefer that your sweetie is crated, gated or free roaming in your home after their fed & walked? Do you and your furry best friend have a specific routine? Let me know! Routine and consistency can help develop trust and reduce anxiety which are so important in doggy care.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life. I'll work hard to prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being while you're away. I have experience looking after small to large adult and senior dogs. I currently work part-time and my schedule is very flexible. Given the day, I'm available to drop in mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Although I'm currently unable to board animals in my home, I am happy to come twice a day or overnight when necessary. My priority is your pet's happiness, which means I will spend every minute of my visits caring for them and playing. I'm happy to go on long walks, scoop up poop, and clean paws.

About: I’ve nurtured, cared for and loved twin doxies for 14 yrs: they came into the family at 8 wks old - I’ve seen them through puppy training, teething, dental procedures & back surgeries. We’ve traveled together, biked and paddle boarded through the years, and shared the ups and downs of life. The last of the twins recently crossed over the rainbow, but there’s still much love, care and tenderness remaining to share with a fur baby! So whether you have a pup or a senior, (s)he will be tended to and cared for exactly as you would yourself. I work from home full time with flexibility to offer your four-legged baby attention, support & TLC they need. Plenty of options to walk & play in the area, including a large park. If your pet is under 22#, (s)he can go biking with me in a pet trailer. I also have a pet stroller if your small or senior fur baby can’t walk long distances. I have a crate to accommodate up to a 30# dog: so your preferred regimen can be maintained. I have baby gates & a couch ladder to help your senior, if their movements are restricted. But if your pet is housebroken or pee pad trained, and free to roam, then (s)he can follow me around the house and hang out with me in the home office, on the deck, or chill on the couch.

“Julia is very communicative and treats your pet like he or she is her own. My pup loves her and she definitely helped me out several times when I was in a pinch! Highly recommend Julia 😊”

Hayley O.

She has a rich love for all kinds of animals and is committed to learning how to properly play with them all. She takes her responsibilities seriously and will make sure your pets stay happy, healthy, and safe.”


Irina V.

“I would highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. She recently took care of our one-year-old Belgian Malinois (no easy feat!) for 4 days while my wife and I were out of town and our usual dog sitter fell through. Irina was everything we could have wanted in a dog sitter. She was prompt, reliable, communicative, and asked all the right questions when we droped our dog off. We were concerned that our big girl may prove difficult or rambunctious with a new sitter, but she loved her time at Irina's - especially the long walks Irina took her on daily at a nearby park. And my wife and I loved the daily updates with pictures and a recap of our dog's day. Irina has gone from an emergency sitter to our first call when we're going out of town, and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
