House Sitting Roxborough

“Sarah’s great! She followed instructions and also anticipated our needs. She provided timely updates and gave us all the peace of mind we needed while we were away from our dog. We will definitely be using her again and anyone who hires her is lucky to have them looking after their pets.”

“Dana is wonderful. We have two pups, one who is older. Dana treated both with love and care, and when we returned they were both sad to see him leave. It was a pleasure having Dana care for our pups.”

“Nikki is the epitome of professional - my 3 month old puppy absolutely loved her and she maintained all of his training while we were away!! Nikki was incredibly attentive to his schedule and gave us real time updates and pictures. I would rebook with Nikki any time as my first choice.”

About: Hi, I’m Carmen! - Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication reminders, or simply some calm companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, personalized care. I’m also very respectful of all homes and established routines. - Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. - I’m happy to meet beforehand, go over their routine, and answer any questions so that both you and your pet feel comfortable. I have very open availability. I am available weekdays and weekends - mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight. I work remotely part-time so it allows me great flexibility for your care. I do not currently have any children or pets so all my attention will go to your companion. I provide a calm and safe environment. For boarding in my home I have a spacious fenced backyard with room for your companion to roam and play if they choose.

About: Hi from an intuitive Roxborough mom of a toddler and dog mom of 30+ years! I’ve had dogs my whole life and will care for your furry best friend(s) like they’re my own child. I used to board dogs in my NYC apartment back when Rover was called Dog Vacay, hence the reviews from a decade ago. Now that my kid is in preschool, we have a fenced yard and a sweet dog that plays well with others, I’m ready to start caring for dogs again. Now booking new clients for: —SOLO WALKS from 9am to 5pm within 19128 and very nearby. Weekend hours are much more flexible. I used to walk the biggest and most reactive Brooklyn shelter dogs, in addition to my own rescue pit bull who had a severe brain disorder and fear-based aggression. Once he lost all control of his limbs, I had no choice but to carry him up and down four flights of stairs. All to say: I feel well equipped to manage your pup, no matter their temperament or special needs. —IN-HOME DOGGIE DAYCARE *for one dog at a time* (in addition to my own super sweet Mini Aussie). Hours can be flexible once everyone knows each other and gets along. I work from home, have a fenced yard and can give them so much attention and playtime, even in the winter. I’d prefer a long-term arrangement with one regular client and would offer a discounted rate for that, but am open to drop-ins at $40/day. I’d require a complimentary meet and greet prior to booking. Our Freddie boy gets very stressed around a bunch of new dogs, so I assume perhaps other dogs do as well, hence my desire to have just one other dog here with him. He’s neutered and seems to really enjoy other dogs as long as it’s a 1:1 scenario. —OVERNIGHT BOARDING IN MY HOME. I’m open to requests for boarding your dog in our home, providing you trust them entirely around young children. Given that my child’s safety is my top priority, I’d always want to do a meet and greet before accepting the booking request. —WEEKEND-ONLY HOUSE SITTING AT YOUR PLACE. I can be there as early as 9am Saturday and can stay until 7pm Sunday. Worth noting that I have a car that could come in handy in the case of any emergency requiring a vet visit. I’m able to give oral medication. While I’ve never injected meds, I bet I could figure that out with a little guidance and practice. Can’t wait to meet you and your amazing dog! SCHEDULE: I work from home with my Mini Aussie, have a fenced yard for doggie daycare and am available for walks during the day from 9am to 5pm. Weekend hours are flexible. SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: As mentioned above, our yard is fenced and I work from home, so am present and available for most of the day. Our Mini Aussie is neutered and always current on vaccinations. He’s a sweetheart, though I’d prefer to have a meet and greet prior to any new dog being introduced for a stay.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I got my first dog around age 11 and have had multiple dogs over the years, along with a ferret, hamster, and fish. I’ve also helped care for family members’ dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Animals have always been a big part of my life and continue to be. I truly enjoy being around them and caring for them, and I always joke that one day I’m going to end up with my own little farm because I want every animal I see! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or whatever a pet may need. My daily routine is pretty laid back, so I have the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I would always talk with the pet parent beforehand about their normal routine, what they’re allowed or not allowed to do, feeding instructions, walks, and any other specific needs. I’m big on following the owner’s instructions, keeping their pet safe and comfortable, and being respectful of their home and belongings.
