About: I have taken care of animals for over 25 plus years both as a pet owner and pet sitter. I love all animals (especially DOGs!!) and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my furry friends I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve. I provide dependable, compassionate pet care, including regular visits, dog walking, and transportation to veterinary appointments to help keep your furry family members healthy and happy. Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family. My boarding services include regular neighborhood walks and park visits, always conducted safely using secure leashes, pet-appropriate gear, and routes suited to your pet’s needs and energy level. Playtime is structured, supervised, and balanced with plenty of rest, affection, and cuddling. I strictly follow each pet owner’s feeding instructions, schedules, and care preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I am experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections/shots, and I do so carefully and confidently according to your veterinarian’s guidance. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home, free from hazards, and I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and shared spaces remain secure. Small pets are welcome to enjoy free access to the main living area, including cozy couch cuddling, while always being monitored to ensure their comfort and safety. I prioritize positive experiences, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet parents, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for, safe, and truly loved while you’re away.
“Great experience, good customer service and communication. I feel my dog was well taken care of and comfortable at their house. They have a great space for dogs! Ziva will be back again soon! Thank you so much 😀”


“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.”


“Amy and James were amazing! We booked them last minute as we were heading to a wedding. As our dogs are still young, my worry quickly left as I viewed happy pictures of the pups playing through the night. Thank you so much’”

“Juliana was so sweet and out meet and greet ahead of time was fabulous! Our Puppy got along so well with her pups and one other she was watching. Paulie is still sleeping off all the sun and activity he had yesterday!!”

“Olivia is a sweet heart. My dog Suki is always excited when she gets dropped off and even more excited once she sees Olivia. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.”

About: I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed when they’re away from home, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and warm environment tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, or first-time-away pups, giving them gentle reassurance, consistency, and extra attention to help them settle in. I prioritize communication with pet parents, sharing updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease. Whether your dog loves playtime, snuggles, or quiet company, I’m committed to making their stay stress-free, happy, and filled with care. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home and can be present with your pup throughout the day. I’m able to step away at any time for walks, potty breaks, play, or cuddles, so pets get consistent attention and companionship — not long stretches alone. I build my day around their needs, making sure they feel supported, relaxed, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving pups a safe space to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I stay attentive to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether they need active play, quiet cuddles, or time to settle in at their own pace. My goal is to make their experience relaxed, happy, and as close to home as possible.
“Yolanda is AMAZING!! She kept me updated throughout the day by sending me texts, pictures, and videos of my little guy and how much fun he was having!! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times that allowed us to be very flexible. She clearly loves animals and took great care of my dog, Arlo. I would highly recommend Yolanda and we will definitely be returning clients.”

“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!”

“Cathy and Amy were wonderful and took great care of our Doggo! They are super friendly and create and joyful environment for the visiting dogs. As soon as I heard my dog was relaxed in the dog bed outside the bedroom and the kitchen I knew we found great sitters for our dog:)”

“Clarissa is extraordinary! She watched my Bambi girl. I got updates, the cutest photos and videos of Bambi having the most fun. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family for dog care. All the dogs are treated like their own, like family! She has a huge, secure fenced in yard, a doggie door where the dogs are free to go in and out as they please, and a HUGE heart for all the dogs under her care. I really can’t say enough about Clarissa and her family! When it came time to pick up Bambi, she didn’t want to leave! That says it all!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

“Emelie was great! We had a last minute change to our schedule and she was very accommodating. She also sent photos and responded to messages quickly. Recommend!”
