About: I have had breeds of all shapes and sized my entire life. I care for my 2 year old border collie and I have experience handling cats as well. I want to make your pets feel at home even when you are away. I would want the best from my boy when I am away, so I want to provide that service to others! I am full-time employee so I can stop in before and after work on weekdays, and I am free weekends for endless playing ! (I can stay in the evening during the week until around 8-9) I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and would be happy to meet your animal where they are! I do NOT offer boarding currently.

“We couldn’t be happier with Stephanie! She took amazing care of our dog, Oliver, while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. She sent regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected even from miles away. Beyond providing excellent care, Stephanie truly bonded with Oliver and made sure he got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊”

About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs. My heart is owned by our 5 boys and our 3 furbabies 16 year old Siberian Husky named Lola, a 2 year old husky/german Shepard mix named Skye and a 13 year old Australian shepherd named Apache .

Without a doubt, I will treat your pet family members as if they were my own, with an abundance of love and attention. I know what it’s like to have a good pet sitter and I’ve been very fortunate to know what it’s like to have a peaceful vacation without worries, let me be the one to ease your mind when it comes to your pets care.

“Excellent and thorough! Clearly loves dogs and cats. She was on time and did everything I listed for my pets. The Rover site was easy to use and it gave me quick access to pick Summer as our sitter. Will definitely have her back!”
About: I worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society, caring for cats, kittens and other pets. I was able to feed them, entertain them, scratch them if they like — and learn a lot of different cat behaviors. I’d love to bring my skills to your own loving furry babies.
“Sydney met with me and Jojo beforehand and then did a drop-in visit with Jojo. Jojo loved her visit. It was nice knowing I can count on Sydney while I am at work and I received a report card, pictures & a video! Thanks so much!”
About: Growing up on a horse farm my entire life and studying animal husbandry has given me experience caring for animals of all ages. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, small breeds, and pets needing extra attention, including those requiring daily medications. 🐾❤️ As a stay-at-home mom to my sweet seven-month-old baby girl, I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾 With your permission, my little one would join me for drop-ins or dog walks while I provide your furry friends with a safe, happy, and loving experience. ❤️ There’s no place like home, especially for your pets. 🐾 Caring for them in the comfort of your home helps keep their routine the same while providing love, attention, fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make every visit stress-free, giving your pets the care they deserve and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️
“She is very sweet and updated when there was any issues. It appears our pets enjoy their company and gave them the meals. She was on time for the majority and within the time range that’s appropriate :).”
“As a spur of the moment idea, that I had heard about through a friend in CA, I contacted Rover and had a good, instant, comforting response. The care giver was great and did send picures and I was very comforted. Thanks to her.”
“Beka has been fantastic with our 4, almost 5 month dog. He had no training prior to 4 month and the work Becka has done with him is incredible. He listens to commands and is potty trained now. Our dog loves her and she seems to adore him. She went out of her way to water my rabbit when he was out of water and also accommodates schedule changes when she can.”
About: I adore all animals but I’d have to say cats are the superior breed of my choosing! I have 2 kitties of my own and would be more than happy to give yours equal love & attention 🖤🐈⬛

About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.
About: I’ve had dogs and horses for my whole life, and I have experience with all types of animals like donkeys and goats! I’m a pre-vet student looking for more animal time! I’m an undergrad student looking to help out when I’m on breaks or have free time at school! Also available during the holidays if you’re planning on going out of town and can’t take your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and one sweet, small dog at home! But I can divide the house and keep them separated if necessary. I love all breeds and even nervous pups!

I offer specialized expertise in the full spectrum of a dog’s life, from the joyful, structured development of raising my current puppy, Oliver Lane, from 10 weeks old, to the tender, complex management of my late two elderly 15-year-old babies.

I apply the same discipline from my 25-year career to maintain a structured 24/7 routine, ensuring that every pet—regardless of age—benefits from a calm, intuitive, and highly organized environment filled with family-level love. SPECIALIZED PET CAR: After a 25-year career as a doctoral-level educational professional, I have transitioned to a full-time schedule dedicated to dog care. Maintaining a 24/7 routine for my own 2-year-old fur child, Oliver Lane, affords me the unique flexibility to adapt to your dog's specific scheduling needs. I provide smoke-free, hypoallergenic, flea- and tick-conscious boarding in my pet-friendly home, designed with easy-clean flooring for comfort and hygiene. Dogs enjoy a full acre of play space in a welcoming neighborhood with secure neighboring fences for a safe, social environment.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
About: **We are unfortunately unable to host unfixed dogs in our home for boarding/doggy daycare.** I have grown up with dogs and cats and have spent many years caring for them throughout my life. I currently have a senior dog I adopted from a local shelter and two younger dogs I’ve helped raise since they were puppies. Over the years I’ve learned how different each stage of life can be, from potty training puppies to supporting the slower pace of senior dogs. I’ve also cared for family pets while their owners were out of town, including both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels. Some love to play and stay active, others just want to relax and be near someone. I’m happy with both. I also have experience with raw feeding routines and daily care. My main focus is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom which allows me to give consistent attention throughout the day. I homeschool my children but I’m still able to fully care for the pets in my home and keep up with walks, drop ins, and boarding. My days are structured in a way that allows me to adjust as needed so each pet gets timely and attentive care. Pets in my care can enjoy walks in your yard or around your neighborhood depending on what they are comfortable with. We also have a spacious yard that gives dogs plenty of room to move around and stretch their legs. Our home is calm and family oriented. Pets are always supervised and included in daily life. I make sure they feel comfortable, settled, and part of the environment while they are here.
“Brittany provided in-home doggy daycare for 4 consecutive days for my beagle pup. She’s very flexible with hours and great with communication and progress reports for your pup throughout the day. Also, she has a huge backyard for exercise and has dogs and cats to socialize with. Prior to doggy daycare, we stopped by to introduce the pup to the fam and Brittany inquired about pet likes, dislikes, any special needs, etc. Next time I’m looking for a sitter, Brittany will be my go-to!”
About: Hello, I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16. Mainly my own and my neighbors animals. I have had nothing but good reviews from them all! I currently do online school and am home all the time because of that. This leaves a lot of quality time I can spend with your animals. I have a single dog at home that is very friendly to keep your doggies company. If you have specific needs for your animals then I will make sure to follow them no matter what.

I would be open for mornings, evenings, and weekends. Sometimes, I am totally able to pop out for lunch time walks if it’s in Easton and know ahead of time. I am pretty flexible!

“Ruby came back so sleepy! Exactly what I want from an hour walk. Bridget asks good questions and gives you updates about how your dog is doing. She is very aware of her surroundings and making sure Ruby is able to have her best walk. Ruby is afraid of cars and kids- I heard Bridget praise and redirect Ruby when encountering a scary thing. She really cares about my dog and it is noticeable. 10/10- highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rebeka and she was phenomenal. Not only did she make arrangements at work to walk my dog super last minute but she was very sweet and conscious of my dog’s anxiety around other dogs. We will definitely be using her again! I have already referred her to family and friends.”

Whenever I’m dog sitting, I try my hardest to be there for other peoples pets whenever they are away as I treat everyone’s pet as if they were my own. Every pet deserves love and care. I try my hardest to provide clear communication with myself and the owners of the pets I sit for. I would expect nothing less then detailed communication as well as pictures so that my clients trust that their pets are in great care while they are away.
About: I’ve had dogs and horses for my whole life, and I have experience with all types of animals like donkeys and goats! I’m a pre-vet student looking for more animal time! I’m an undergrad student looking to help out when I’m on breaks or have free time at school! Also available during the holidays if you’re planning on going out of town and can’t take your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and one sweet, small dog at home! But I can divide the house and keep them separated if necessary. I love all breeds and even nervous pups!

About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby.

Beyond providing excellent care, Stephanie truly bonded with Oliver and made sure he got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
