About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and grew up in a household with multiple dogs at all times. I spent a lot of time helping care for them and became very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels from a young age. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, cleaning ears, administering medication, and caring for senior dogs or dogs with mobility issues like arthritis and hip problems. I’m also comfortable helping dogs that may need extra patience, attention, or supervision. I recently graduated college and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting visits. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I’m experienced with crating dogs when needed, handling dogs on walks, and caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs.

About: My name is Eleanor. In the last year we recently lost our own senior dogs who were 17, 16 and 15. We fostered and subsequently adopted a corgi puppy who we nursed through a PDA heart surgery. He is a happy, healthy pup and LOVES being with other dogs. I am also the mom of five children who are 13, 12, 9 and 4 year old twins. I have provided pet care services for many years but started back up after the addition of our twins :) My husband works from home which allows me to come help you with your furry friend! I am on the board of a senior dog rescue called Senior Dog Haven and Hospice and ran it for 10+ years until I recently passed on the reins. We rescue dogs aged 7 and up that have found themselves homeless later in life. I love animals, especially elderly ones, and have dedicated my life to their care. I have fostered almost 100 senior dogs in the last 10 years and have a ton of experience with special needs dogs. I would love to come love on your dog and spoil them anytime you need me! We require your furry friend to be kid and dog friendly as they will get lots of love from our pack of children and our puppy, Gus Gus! I am a stay at home mom with a husband that works from home. Our schedule is extremely flexible and someone is almost always home. I have a one acre fenced in yard that has a small dog and large dog fenced in area. I love animals and will always take the very best care of them! We often host doggy day care days to tire out pups! We take caring for your furry loved ones seriously, and carry our own insurance coverage for your added peace of mind!
“Maya was amazing! I needed last minute help with my five year old pup. She communicated daily how each walk went with photos and descriptions! She was so patient with my father who was at the house as well. Couldn’t recommend Maya enough! Max is looking forward to her next visit soon!!!”

About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have only guinea pigs now, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
About: As a lifelong animal person, I’ve provided dependable care for many dogs of friends and family over the past several years. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering lots of love, and opening my home for safe and comfortable stays. I work part-time Monday through Thursday, so I can provide care in the mornings and evenings, with a few hours away mid-day for work. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday for all-day care and walks. I have a fenced-in backyard and a pool for dogs who love to swim. Your pup will also have a built-in playmate with my dog who is very friendly. Plus, I’m right next to walking trails that are perfect for daily walks.
“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”

We are able to take dogs up to 65 pounds and any dogs over 65 pounds will be considered if trained well, Rover just doesn’t have a setting to say that.

The dogs can either come from the same home or they are friends or we sometimes negotiate a cross board through a meet and greet. We have a highly desirable environment due to not having any dogs, cats, or small children. We provide bowls and crates. Bring dog beds, food, treats, bones and toys. We do not provide those. We are a team of 3 with 24 hour service. IMPORTANT!!! We only board dogs. Dogs must be crate trained. We only accept dogs that sleep in a crate at night. No exceptions. We only take dogs that are microchipped and spayed/neutered. All new dogs are required to have a meet and greet before being accepted for boarding. Any potential cross boarding is approved through a meet and greet between families. We look forward to keeping your furry friends safe while you are away. We only take puppies older than 16 weeks and they must be house trained, crate trained, don’t jump or bite and sleep through the night.

About: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend

Jen's open communication throughout the process of booking her to walk my dog and on the day of the walk were very much appreciated. She took pictures on the day, as well, which helped me to see that Ginger was being cared for well. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book her again the next time I need someone to take care of my dog.
