“Rachel is living and caring with our Puppy! I enjoy getting the snapshots and videos of them playing or walking together. It is such a comfort knowing that he is with Rachel and loved and cared for when i am away on business. He absolutely loves being with Rachel and has made himself super comfortable in her home!”

“Thank you Emily and Christine for taking care of our little Leo yesterday! I can tell he had a great day, playing with his new friends , he was one little tired boy last night! We will be back for sure 🐶🥰”

“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”

“Leah was great! She was flexible on timing because I got caught in traffic, and she sent me photos while Ziggy stayed with her. She was pretty quick on the handoffs, which was nice because I was traveling and trying to hit the road. Ziggy had a great time!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and feel very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’ve worked as a dog sitter before, and I’ve also volunteered as a dog foster and photographer at a shelter, so I’ve interacted with dogs of all kinds — shy, energetic, or a bit anxious. I'm a stay-at-home wife, flexible of doing dog care every weekday or weekend. My routine already includes walks, playtime, and outdoor time with my own dog, so it’s easy to include another pup. I have a calm home with extra space, a large fenced backyard, and a quiet wooded trail for walks. I only take one dog at a time. My dog is friendly and neutered, and I require vaccinations.

“Dante was Great. This was Bubba's first time being babysat by someone that him and I didn't know. Dante kept me updated on Bubba's progress throughout the day which gave me relief because I was just as nervous as Bub. He's very pleasant, excellent in communication, and l can tell that he genuinely love dogs.”

“Shelby and Robbie were both very flexible and accommodating considering the last minute request for daycare. They have a large fenced backyard and our dog loved hanging out with the two other dogs they had that day. All worked out really well, we got updates with pics throughout and our dog is now home, happy, exhausted and ready to go to bed after what seems to be a pretty active afternoon. Thank you Shelby and Robbie, truly appreciate your help!”

“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner of over 20 years, worked as a vet assistant at a local well-renowned animal hospital for several years (up until 2024), and have been an animal lover for my entire life. I have experience with puppies/kittens, BIG dogs, elderly dogs & cats, as well as those with special medical & behavioral needs. In addition, I have expertise regarding small animals such as birds, bunnies, fish, & reptiles. I’m well versed in the care of various species and can administer IV fluids, medication, as well as anything your pet may need while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who can love your furry friend like family, all while catering to their specific needs, and treating you & your home with the utmost respect; then I am the girl for you! Please check out my reviews and feel free to message me with any questions or more details on what services I can provide for you & your loved one(s) 🐾 **please message me if your total before booking seems higher than what my rates are. Rover mistakenly overcharges a lot of the time, so pricing may not be initially accurate** I’m extremely flexible & am home all day. I’m an early-riser & often go to bed late, a perfect arrangement for all pets, especially those with anxiety & special needs. Also very convenient for those early morning and late night airport departures/arrivals. I will accommodate to the best of my ability! So your dog needs to be taken out at 5am? I’m your girl! Your cat needs medication at midnight? No problem there ☺️ You have a 6am flight in the morning? I gotcha! I also have a pet care assistant, Robert, who is available to assist with supervision, feedings, walkings, and even grooming so your pet always gets the best and most extensive care possible. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a lot of land with local dog parks nearby. I have several cats in my home but am able to keep them confined to a different section of the house in case any of my clients are not cat friendly. I’m very well trained with walking all types of sizes and breeds of dogs, I have experience with administering medicine and IV fluids, and know generally about most animal species & care.
“This is the second time we had Benjamin take care of Beau. I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him because I know he is going to be taken care of. We will definitely be using his services in the future.”

We have crates, beds, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I'm happy to give updates throughout visits, including photos or videos, and will send regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. My schedule is flexible. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your spring and summer travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability.

Shelby was great! We needed daycare for our pups a few times a week and she was so accommodating. She even sent us some pics during the day and we loved getting the updates. Our pups seemed to really like it and be comfortable with her. We’ll be back next week! Highly recommended!

Lindsay was wonderful. My new puppy is very shy with new people and Lindsay made her comfortable and safe. There is even a photo of Billie cuddled up on Lindsay's chest 😍 I also introduced my other dog Jake and he was a Lindsay fan too! I will absolutely be dropping Billie, and perhaps Jake, off with Lindsay again. Thank you!
