Doggy Day Care in South Whitehall

“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Melinda — Your Dog’s New Best Friend! 🐾 If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you: I love dogs more than people… and I’m not shy about it! I’ve shared my life with dogs for over a decade, and I’d be thrilled to give your pup the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐶 Meet My Pack I’m the proud dog mom of two sweet hound girls: 12‑year‑old Beagle mix – professional snuggler, treat connoisseur, and queen of the house 8‑year‑old Coonhound mix – goofy, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure They’re both friendly and love love. 🏠 Home Full‑Time = Attention All Day I work full‑time from home, which means your dog gets: ✔️ Frequent potty breaks ✔️ Lots of company ✔️ Playtime, cuddles, and walks whenever they need it ✔️ Zero long hours alone Your pup won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be loved on all day long. 💛 Why I Rover Dogs have been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Caring for them comes naturally to me, and I treat every animal like family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur‑baby with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. 🌳 A Little About My Dream One day, I hope to have a big house with acres for my girls to run free—and a place where I can welcome even more dogs while their families are away. Until then, I’m grateful for every opportunity to care for pups who need love, structure, and plenty of belly rubs. ✨ What You Can Expect A calm, dog‑experienced home Plenty of rubs, attention, and affection Honest communication and updates A safe, loving environment for dogs of all ages If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, I’d be honored to help. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 💕🐾 Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine (and honestly, my favorite part of the day!). I work full‑time from home, which allows me to build my entire schedule around my two hound dogs and any pups I’m caring for. I work from home and my back door has a doggy door which leads into a fenced yard. I am available to take them out on a leash whenever needed as well.

“Christian was great with Jax. He has a phenomenal knowledge of dogs and a great interaction skills set and demeanor with them. I will 100% be using Christian in the future for dog sitting and boarding.”

“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”

“Jeanne took excellent care of my pup. I’m pretty sure Cookie was disappointed I didn’t bring her the following day after I picked her up. I highly recommend Jeanne and will use her again in the future.”

“Emanuel was very responsive and was in contact with us during the entire process. We were at ease knowing that a detail oriented person was watching our dog.”

George E.

“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”

About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup. My household is perfectly set up for socialization, featuring my friendly, 'big baby' German Shepherd who loves making new friends. To ensure a calm and focused environment, my other resident dogs stay off site during bookings, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s managing high-energy play, providing gentle senior care, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, I provide your dog with a reliable routine filled with backyard fun, mental enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.

About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.

“Great communication and flexibility setting up a doggie day care date. Lots of activity and love for our dog, Kendra.”

“Mike was really great with our pup! Our 8-month-old is still getting used to going to daycare, but Mike was really patient with her. His dog is friendly and was a good playmate for our girl, and his house is kept clean. We got a lot of updates, pictures, and videos, which was appreciated! Will be rebooking in the future!”

Toni S.

“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.

“My pup was happy, well cared for, and clearly adored her time with Gabrielle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

Ella-Marie K.

“Dwright was great! I, unfortunately, had to cancel last minute due to a personal reason, but he was very understanding and communicative. I’d definitely book with him again.”

About: 💕🐶NEW TO ROVER?🐱💕 GET $20 OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING BY USING PROMO CODE  REBECC18368 Valid for first-time Rover customers only. 💞REFERRALS💞 For each new referral who schedules services with me, you will receive one FREE walk/drop-in visit for your pet(s) OR 20% off your next pet-sitting booking request as a thank you! === 🐕🏃‍♀️💨💨 I can provide aerobic running/walking sessions to high-energy dogs, as well as offer drop-in visits and overnight pet-sitting services for furred friends of all breeds, sizes, ages and deportments. All visits may be customized to you and your pet(s)’ needs (so long as within time-frame of visit)! Visits include refreshing of water bowls, feeding/medication administration (if needed), walks/runs, cleaning up of indoor messes they may make, and, of course, LOTS of cuddling and TLC for your fur baby(ies) throughout the visit (aka kisses, scratches, hugs and rubs!). I can also carry out quick extra tasks such as bringing in your mail, turning off/on lights, adjusting your thermostat, watering your plants, taking out the trash and/or returning your emptied receptacles back where they belong for you. The pace and intensity of my walks with your pup(s) are always tuned to your individual dog’s needs and desires. They range from laid-back, leisurely strolls (usually enjoyed by recovering and/or older dogs) to intensive running sessions (loved by younger and high-energy dogs)! === 💛🐶 During the pandemic of 2020, I also had the privilege of transporting and fostering an unwanted rescued pitbull from NYC into my PA home for what was supposed to be for just a couple of weeks. However, he ended up staying with me in my home for the next few years until he passed away peacefully. During his time here, he transformed from being sickly, lethargic, anxious and anti-social (who was deathly afraid of being in water) to a robust, energetic, loving and outgoing dog whom you couldn't get out of any body of water as hard as you tried (rivers, lakes, etc)! The change was truly miraculous and heart-warming to the core to see! === After each walk/visit, you will receive a text message from me with photos/videos letting you know how my time with them went! Included in this message will be a confirmation of completion of any extra tasks/special requests made by you for me to carry out. As a passionate animal lover myself, you can rest assure that they will be in the most loving, caring and attentive of hands and heart! I look forward to beginning a wonderful and healthy relationship with you and your pet(s)! === 🐕🏃‍♀️DOG WALKING & DROP-IN VISITS $25 per visit For one 30-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $20 per visit For two or more 30-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $35 per visit For one 60-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $30 per visit For two or more 60-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $5 weekend fee per visit $5 holiday fee per visit 2+ Hour Visits (Upon Special Request): $5 per additional hour ■•■•■ 🏡24-HOUR CARE (UP TO 24 HOURS - WITH OVERNIGHT STAY INCLUDED) Your home will be my home base for up to a 24-hour period (with an overnight stay included within those 24 hours). I will leave to go do any walks/drop-ins I have scheduled, but the rest of my time will be devoted to the safe-keeping and care of your home and pet(s). I will be away no more than 4-6 hours at a time maximum if needed (unless otherwise specified by you). The quality care of your pets will continue to be my top priority and NEVER be compromised. I may also use my pet-friendly home (complete with a fenced-in grassy yard and doggy door access) as a home base (in addition to yours) if that works well for your pet. During transportation, your pet will always be safely secured in my vehicle with a safety seatbelt harness. ADVANTAGES OF HOUSE SITTING House sitting (a.k.a. pet sitting) works very well for pets who tend to be nervous, anxious and/or destructive when left alone and away from their owners for longer periods of time than what they are normally accustomed to. This is also a wonderful solution for pets who tend to need more frequent supervision, special care and attention due to their age, those who recently have been introduced into your home and/or those with a compromised or recovering health condition. Your fur baby will feel wonderfully loved and cared for while waiting for you to return to him or her. As for your pup(s), when we are not at home, we are either going out for a walk/run in the neighborhood, meeting up with other friendly pooches needing to be visited and taken out for their walks, or out on a fun adventure and walk/run/hike/splash at any of the various wonderful, wooded, trail-laden parks in this beautiful region of PA! With personal pet-sitting, your beloved pet will receive more one-on-one time, care, loving attention – and freedom – than if it were placed in a crowded pet day-care facility or boarding kennel cage, while you receive the peace of mind that your fur baby is receiving the next best thing to you – right in the familiar surroundings of his or her own home! In addition, their risk of contracting illness or infections from other pets in such facilities will be avoided. $80 per day (For up to 2 pets) $40 extended care (Add up to 12 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $20 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $10 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day ■•■•■ 🌜OVERNIGHT STAY ONLY (UP TO 12 HOURS) $50 per night (For one night, for up to 2 pets) $10 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day 🎉 HOLIDAYS New Year's Day Memorial Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) July 4th Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) Thanksgiving (Thu-Sun) Christmas Eve Christmas New Year's Eve 💛 FRIDAY SUNDOWN TO SATURDAY SUNDOWN I am not open between Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, but if you need someone to come care for your pet(s) and cannot find anyone else to do so and/or it’s a last-minute emergency situation, I will be more than glad to do so if I can.

“Jasmin was an awesome sitter. My dog has bad separation anxiety, and she took it in stride. Even though he cried for 6 hours, she was willing to have him back and gave him the attention he needed.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years or more, including my own. Family and friends have relied on me to dog sit, dog walk, give cuddles, and care for their pets over and over again. It’s truly something I enjoy and I love to meet and care for all different breeds. I work from home so I have time to be with your pet throughout the day! I am available to give potty breaks and walks every 2-4 hours and sometimes more ! I have my own friendly 13 year old pup who is trained off the leash. I do not have a fenced in yard but have no problem caring for your dog on a leash and go on daily walks to release some energy.
