About: I am a daily dog walker. My passion is to connect with dogs of any kind. It would be my pleasure to serve your dog a new friend and walking partner. I am available to walk your dog on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays at any time. The more notice the better, however, I do take short notice walks so long as I’m available. I respect a dog’s hesitancy to meeting new people. I offer patience, time, and a calm effort to earn your dog’s trust. A personal goal of mine is to make a positive interaction and connection with every dog I meet.
About: Ive cared for my own pets and many friends pets mainly dogs throughout my life. From puppies to senior dogs. Never met one I didnt love. I run my own small planning firm so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week day or night for walks and pet care. I am happy to come to your home and play with your fur baby and also attend to any of his or her needs, feeding walking petting medication.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets to neighbors for probably the past 15 years and I’m also a pet stylist so I work with dogs every day I can be available like 2 to 4 hours every Monday and Wednesdays and probably occasional Sundays as well. Might add more days in the future. I can be a very active pet parent and go on long walks or I can snuggle up on the couch and binge watch a show and give all the love because dogs have always shown me the best loyalty from any living creature I’ve ever encountered
About: I worked at Green Leaf Pet Resort. I also had a 13 year old shih tzu who crossed the bridge along with my 3 year old pit and her 2 puppies. I helped my pittie give birth and helped her raise them. She's no longer with us unfortunately. Rest in Doggie Heaven my babies! I work with dogs everyday all day. I currently have a pit/australia shepherd mix and a bully xL puppy. She is the most sweetest, goofy and sassy puppy. I'm surrounded by dogs all day. I use whatever the owners use weather its a crate, having inside, or having them outside. I do whatever the owners does. But I would prefer the dog to have a crate for safety reasons.
About: I have had many dogs all my life. I do have to say I love big dogs the bigger the better I say. People are always scared of big dogs but really most are harmless. As of now my schedule is free so I can work with people with what they need I will always fit u in no matter what. I will always follow the rules given to me for each animal. I know these are ur babies and I will give them all the love I have until they are back with you.
“Charlotte was great with our 2 boxers! She was on time for our meet and greet and showed up exactly when we agreed for our pet sitting… she communicated every step of the way and left our home and our puppies clean and happy!! Thank you Charlotte for all your help!!!”

“First time using Laura for house sitting. She took excellent care of both my Pickles and my home during my 7 day vacation keeping me updated regularly and sending photos every day. Will definitely be using Laura if I’m going away again.”

“If I could give Marissa 10 stars, I would. From the moment we met at my home for the "meet and greet", I felt at ease and my anxious almost 2 1/2 year-old Yorkie took to Marissa right away. Unfortunately, he's not very socialized with people or other dogs. Marissa was great with him from the moment they met. I had to have surgery, and unfortunately, I had to be at the surgeon's office at 7:00 am, which is 1 1/2 hours away so I had to leave my house by 5:30 am. When I mentioned to Marissa that she had to be here at 5:30 am, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She was not only punctual, but knowing I was extremely nervous about getting there on time, she arrived 10 minutes early. Marissa is very sweet and caring, and Harley was a happy boy with her here. I will definitely have Marissa stay with him again should I need to use a sitter in the future. If anyone is searching for a pet sitter in this area, I highly recommend Marissa! Thank you again, Marissa from Harley and Harley's Mom! ❤️”

“Krissi was great for a last minute trip. She treated my pup like her own and was great about communicating with me throughout the stay. Gave me peace of mind to have someone stay overnight. Definitely recommend her.”

About: I’m currently studying to be a dog trainer, I’ve been around many pets my whole life, I love animals. I’ve taken care of family and friends pets, I love all breeds and I’m ready for any challenge! I’m only studying at the moment so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Being around pets it’s an important part of my learning process as a trainer. I have a big fenced yard and a dog full of energy that would love to have a friend to play with so your dog would be well entertained. If I’m in another home I’ll follow your schedule and your dogs will have all their needs fulfilled.
About: My first pup was my best friend 30 yrs ago! He was so playful n adorable! I also love to walk and hope it is ok if I bring my responsible - straight A 15 yr old (taking college courses) who has a constant smile n happy face around animals. We have a golden doodle but she will stay at home. I would love to walk n care for your dog while respecting your neighbors but ensuring that your dog is safe n cleaning up after your dog. Cats are a favorite for us also. My 15 yr old is gentle, sweet n an honor student. I will be present for all pet care n walks! I work from home but I’m in my Philly office on Wednesdays. I am available to walk n keep a dog in a crate overnight. I have a mini golden doodle who can definitely sleep separately n would be supervised at all times. I have a fenced in back yard and would love to play fetch w your dog. It is very important to keep a dog healthy with exercise.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.
About: I find that my commitment, sincerity, love, calm energy, and heart so big has brought me here. All I want is the chance to care for the voiceless & the helpless and be their advocate for as long as I am alive. Pets are family. I would use my body as a shield before allowing any harm to befall a pet. I’m very passionate & very loving to ALL pets even the grumpy ones. I also do not put my emotions before a pets needs. (Example if a bird doesn’t want to be touched no matter how much I want to i would never distress any animal - and put my human emotions before the needs of the pet EVER!! No matter how cute & precious they are. I understand boundaries and I would never be selfish like so many are. My only concern is making your pet feel safe!! (& loved 🥰) My schedule is pretty open! I do take classes online as I’m training to work with autistic children & adults. I do sometimes need to study for exams. I’m also a licensed spa professional but right now I only do outcalls and they aren’t as busy as when I did have my own spa. Right now my focus is on animals as I get the most joy working for them & with them. Currently I have a the most special needs sharpei due to unethical breeding. She’s allergic to everything but one food. She sleeps in my bed and is fed only the most expensive diet as that what makes her not react. She is my light in this world. When I rescued her she was completely bald - not potty trained - crated for the first 6 yrs of her life with ear infections for 6 plus years. Proudly she is now she is perfectly trained & even visits 2 groups of special need therapy places where she loves to be loved :) before her I had my precious pitbull, & my precious Samson (bbm) benji, & ace & dinero were my fosters from horrific situations and now those fosters live amazing lives! I’m very much a homebody and I love working from home so that she has me with her at all times, now that she sleeps ALOT I find myself wanting to help others with their animals as she isn’t as feisty and as energetic and prefers her beds & couches :) I know she won’t mind if mommy went to share her love with others in need of help. (She also has a family with me so she’s NEVER alone. I myself only have home sitters for all my dogs as I don’t trust kennels, canine pet resorts, or boarders who claim to be trainers too - there’s a lot of stuff that goes on and I would simply never put my dog thru that ever again!! A pet deserves to not be relocated to strange smells lots of anxious dogs who wonder where their humans are 😭 I’m SO dedicated to my animals and treat them better than most humans. I’m not ashamed to say it. I’m proud of the love I have for animals as they’re so pure and taught me love & loyalty needs no words it’s thru our actions that we learn love & loyalty - dogs have taught me SO much!! I’ll stop rambling cuz I think you get the point :) :)
About: Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.

Liam C.
“I could not think of a better person to care for your pup. Liam is the most trustworthy, joyful person to have for a caregiver if not just your pet, all pets! He is extremely regimented and caring not only for his self, but for anyone around him. You can trust that your dog will be in phenomenal hands and that his infectious, responsible attitude will be a great match for any pet (or human)!”
colleen m.
“Colleen watched my dog for many years before he passed. She is a passionate animal lover and treated my dog and her own like her children. Most dog watchers and walkers just do the job and leave whereas Colleen would sit with my dog for a while, entertain him and make sure he did not feel lonely. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pets. She will probably take better care of most peoples animals then they would themselves. A++++ service, hire her for your needs today, you will NOT be disappointed.”
Rachel M.
“I’ve known Rachel for along time, shes a dog groomer and honestly has a lot of knowledge about all different types of dogs and she’s really good with reading the body language of the animals and knowing how to handle the more aggressive ones in one’s, she’s an animal lover at heart”
Branaysha T.
“Hi. Nay is so loving to the point where it would get out of control. She loves dogs to a extent that no one would understand. If you think Cesar Milan is crazy for wanting to help aggressive dogs. Well Nay is the same way. She would get bit and brush it off like it didn't happen. She doesn't care if a dog hurt her just as long as she gets them out of their shell. She works a Green Leaf Pet Resort where they board dogs. And she'll tell me how her day went and who she was able to walk. That job doesn't deserve her tbh but that's my opinion. Making Nay a Rover member I'll most definitely would approve. It's everything she loves to do and more.”

“I have a super energetic dog and he can be a handful, but Nicole handles him well and not only does she keep up with my dog’s energy, but she also follows his medication schedule perfectly, which gives me real peace of mind because he gets really bad allergies if the medication stops. She treats my dog like her own and I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely caring!”

“Thaddeus has been my dog walker for Petunia (english bulldog) for the last couple of years. I couldn't be happier with his care! Petunia is always well cared for.
