“Stephanie took excellent care of Monty, an 11 year old cockapoo. He was introduced to the other dogs (some permanent residents and others being boarded) to ensure he would be a good fit. He had some gastrointestinal issues and she provided him with a bland diet ( cost for food and clean up) to settle his stomach. She sent plenty of updates throughout his stay. Highly recommended if you have a senior dog. She understands their needs.”
About: Hi, I’m Angie! My husband and I share a calm, child-free home with no resident pets. I only care for pets from one household at a time, providing a peaceful, personalized experience with plenty of individual attention and no unfamiliar pets around. I work from home, allowing me to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent with companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of time to relax throughout the day. We also have a park just a two-minute walk away! I grew up around rescue dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens through my mom’s volunteer work and previously worked for a mobile veterinarian. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, needs, routines, and personalities. I have a special soft spot for herding breeds—especially Aussies! I’m familiar with their intelligence, energy, sensitivity, and wonderfully quirky personalities. Our home is especially well suited for senior pets, shy or anxious pets, and those accustomed to being the only pet at home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, send regular photo updates, and do my best to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home away from home. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for companionship, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and quiet time. There’s also a park just a two-minute walk from my home, making outdoor time easy to incorporate into your pet’s normal routine. My husband and I share a clean, calm, child-free home with no resident pets, allowing your pet to settle in peacefully and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and send regular pictures and updates. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat their space respectfully and carefully follow all household and safety instructions.
“Theresa and her family were amazing to my boy, Charlie. They really treated him like family! She took him out often on walks, to the store or to pick up her kids from school! I was sent so many cute photos of all the love Charlie was receiving! She even sent him on his way with an Easter basket!! I can’t recommend her enough! 10/10 5 stars, Theresa was amazing!!”
“We do not know what we would do without Vanessa. The dogs love her and so do we. She is without a doubt the kindest most loving care taker we have had for our fur babies. She is the best. We are greatful to her always.”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
About: 🐾 Hey there! I’m Kay. Dog lover, snuggler, and your pup’s next best friend! I’m in my 30’s with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs — especially small breeds like miniature schnauzers (my specialty!). I also have experience with: Senior pups ✔️ Rescues ✔️ Dogs with medical needs ✔️ ❗ Please note: I’m not a trainer, so I may not be the right fit for dogs with behavioral issues or aggressive tendencies — safety first! I offer: 🦴 Walks 🐶 Drop-ins 🏡 Overnight stays Let’s chat about what your pup needs — I’d love to be part of their care routine! 💬🐕 I currently work full time, normal business hours (9am-5pm). I’m mostly available on the weekends and sporadically during the week in the evenings. If you reach out, I’ll try my best to fit your needs. Pets in my home get treated like family. I have a fenced in backyard and a huge park behind my home- perfect for walks, play or even a run. I follow your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away.
“Kerri & Harry was so great with my Shih-Poo. We were looking for someone that would make him feel like home and they knocked it out the park - I could tell he missed them on our drive home. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a loving and safe place for your fur baby. We will definitely be using them again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hali as a dog sitter. The communication was great from the beginning and was easy and reassuring. She took great care of Ruby and even watched her as a 5 month old puppy. She sent pictures and videos of Ruby enjoying her time outside in her fenced in yard. She responded quickly to my check ins and made me feel comfortable leaving her. Ruby was happy and calm when we picked her up and I would highly recommend Hali as your dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Nazli did a great job watching our cat, Stitch! We needed a sitter who would be able to keep a close eye on him last minute while we were gone for a weekend trip since our cat was recovering from a recent surgery. Nazli was very responsive and accommodating! We appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. We would be happy to have Nazli watch our cat again!”
“First time boarding my pup Diago with Brian and Jenny and they were very welcoming. Brian was flexible to accommodate my last minute travel plan which I very much appreciate.. he took such good care of Diago and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay., I can tell Diago had good time with Brian and Teddy. I would highly recommend Brian and will definitely trust him with Diago anytime in future.”
“Kathleen is a fantastic dog sitter. We left our dog Lemon with her and he was loved and cared for like he was at home. He is usually nervous and scared when kenneled but he thrived at Kathleen’s. What a relief- her love for dogs is evident and she welcomed him like he is her own. There is now no worry to go on vacation and how the dog will do. We have peace of mind that he will be well-cared for.”
“Our pup is always so happy with Lauren and John! They kept him so comfortable during our busy wedding weekend, and let us focus on the family and friends we had in town. We highly recommend their home :)”
“Felix and her family took great care of Brewzer for a long weekend. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the visit, and Brewzer looked comfortable in their home and like he was having a great visit. We were very happy that our pup was being well taken care of while we were away and will definitely reach out to Felix for future visits. Thank you Felix!”
About: I’m a very active person and absolutely love being outside! I have no problem giving your pup a bath, getting some exercise in, or giving them ALL the cuddles. 🥰 I’d even love to go for a run with your pup if that’s something they enjoy! I promise I won’t disappoint you! ❤️ I have a 5-year-old husky who is extremely active and definitely keeps me on my toes 😂, so I understand the attention, exercise, and love that high-energy dogs need. I also grew up with two big Labs and had a German Shepherd puppy, so I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I truly love all types of dogs and would be so happy to give your pup the same love and attention I give my own! 🐾❤️ I’m Jess! I’ve always been an animal lover and have a husky of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. They’re family, and I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own! Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m big on keeping their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re gone. I’m also a Rover Star Sitter, and I’m so grateful for all of the amazing pet parents who have trusted me with their fur babies! I’ll always keep you updated, send plenty of pictures, and make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of. 🥰 I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶💕 I always listen to what each client needs for their dog and I’m very flexible! I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is being cared for the way you want. ❤️
About: A lifetime of dog care from puppies to seniors. Our last pup crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago at 17, she left behind a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and 2 loving caretakers. Both my Wife and I are retired. We're home most of the time except for errands or vacations. Plenty of time to give your pup the attention it's deserved. We have a completely fenced in back yard on a quite street in Maple Shade. Dogs are free to roam in and out through the magic mesh. Clean guest dogs are permitted on the furniture and beds. Routine medication can be administered (no needles).
“Jaclyn took awesome care of our Goldendoodles! Our usual sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency, and we were beyond lucky to find Jackie in such a short notice. She sent us daily updates and pics of our girls, and made us feel very comfortable from the minute we met her. Her facility was perfect for Quinn and Layla. There was plenty of room for them to run and play, and it was also very clean. We will definitely be using her again and we highly recommend Jaclyn to take care of your pups.”

“Megan did a great job taking care of Tiger while we were away, watered our plants, and even waged war on some ants that took advantage of us being gone! We would definitely use her services again in the future; she definitely eased the stress of being so far away from home with her updates and pictures!”
About: From 8 years of watching over 20 different cats and having 3 of my own, I am a cat person through and through! I am very passionate about learning every cats personality and finding what makes them the most comfortable. Having cats of my own, I am very comfortable with cleaning litter, grooming, feeding and medication as needed. I love to make sure they get enough attention and stimulation but also know when they need to be left alone.
“Savannah took such good care of our cat! It was our first vacation since we got him and we were a little nervous because he can be anxious. Savannah sent lots of cute updates, pictures, and videos so I knew he was happy at home!”
About: I just recently lost my cat Mia. She would have been 19yrs old in December. It is the longest living cat I have ever owned. I come from a cat family. I have had cats my whole life. I know how to love them, take care of them and even give them meds. My most recent cat had asthma so I had to give her an inhaler every single day 2x a day for 10 years. I don't shy away from taking care of animals that have a few health issues. I love cats at every age from kittens to elderly. Because I lost my cat recently, and I am not ready to get a new one, I would love to take care of yours. It's just me and my 2.5yr old son (who is also a cat lover) and we would be honored to take care of your cat like our beloved Mia. Thank you for considering us.
About: We love our feline friends and have had cats our whole lives! The louder the purrs the better! In addition to visiting, feeding and loving your fur baby, we clean the litter boxes and can administer medication.
“We needed a catsitter over the weekend as our kitten was recovering from her spay. We were so nervous about having to be out of the house with her recovering from surgery, but Batool really set our worries to rest. Communicative, attentive to all our kitties--all around fantastic. Thank you, Batool!”
“Alexa was so amazing watching our kitties! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated and did such a good job with our cat who had a cone on. We are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that earning a cat’s trust is an honor—and sometimes a negotiation! 😸 I’m comfortable handling all the essentials, including feeding, fresh water, grooming, litter box maintenance, medication, and plenty of playtime and affection. I know how important it is for cats to maintain their normal routines while their humans are away. I make every effort to keep their schedule consistent and their environment comfortable, calm, and stress-free. Whether your cat is an outgoing social butterfly who wants all the attention or a shy little introvert who prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m also familiar with feline behavior and pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or behavior that could indicate something isn’t quite right. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll make sure it receives prompt attention and keep you informed. Most importantly, I want every cat in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we’re having a serious play session, enjoying some quality lap time, administering medication, or simply sitting together while they pretend they don’t need me, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Because when you’re caring for a cat, you’re not just pet sitting—you’re temporarily working for a very small, very furry boss. 🐾
“Morgan was professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. She showed my cats a lot of love and affection, and took excellent photos of them which helped me feel comfortable leaving my beloved kitties in her care. She kept the home tidy and cleaned up after the pets as well. She went above and beyond by bringing in packages and doing an extra personal favor to help out when requested. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of cats ever since I was little and love every bit of their different personalities. My cat personally likes to cuddle a lot, and I am very comfortable around cats, but I understand that not all cats are as friendly. Whatever the cat prefers I am willing to do so.
“Chris was wonderful with my cat Fenrys - he sent great updates daily, and went about making friends at Fenrys’s pace. I felt so secure leaving him in Chris’s care!”
“Miranda did a great job watching over my two cats, Ninja and Scraps while I was away on vacation. I definitely would recommend her and will be using her again in the future! She left great notes and made me feel at ease while I was away. 😁 Thank you. This was the first time I have used Rover and it was a great experience. Miranda also help me understand how to use the app since I made some silly mistakes.”
About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats and previously worked as a cat sitter from 2015–2019. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and have experience with shy, anxious, rescue, and senior cats. I currently own 6 cats myself, so I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pets. I genuinely love animals and always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Many of the families I sit for have cats as well as dogs. Cats decide the relationship, not me. Some want a silent roommate who refreshes water and scoops the box. Some want a movie-night lap. Both are correct. I let cats initiate. I keep their territory intact — no cologne cloud, no rearranging their spots, no forced cuddles. Clinic experience matters here: I notice when a cat is eating less, hiding more, or skipping the box, and I tell you immediately instead of hoping it resolves. In cats, “a little off” is often the first real signal. Whether I’m the magic food-dish filler or a quiet evening companion, your cat’s safety and comfort are the whole job.
About: My dream is to one day own a cat rescue, honoring my late mother. It goes beyond the job for me. I can, and will, help you with whatever needs necessary for your cat. From tiny babies to older cats, I am happy, willing and able to go above and beyond to give your little love the care they deserve!
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats since birth, so I understand their unique rhythms, moods, and the quiet magic they bring to a home. Whether your cat is a playful explorer, a shy observer, or a full‑time lap‑lounger, I know how to make them feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and tuned in to the little details — from slow‑blink conversations to the exact way they like their meals prepared. With me, your cat gets comfort, consistency, and companionship while you’re away.
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”

“Amber is absolutely awesome we just used her for the first time and will be coming back again and again she has a lovely house and is a true pet lover, our doggy was immediately at home, great communication and a fabulous human being! Highly recommended”
“Wonderful family! Daisy enjoyed staying with them. I was in a crunch trying to find a sitter and Lauren and Derek were there for us. They did a great job making my dog feel comfortable when she was initially nervous. I highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Vanessa was AMAZING! it was our first time using Rover and she helped us through the whole process! She sent pictures, took hm on walks, and gave him special treats. Highly recommend!”
“Brian was great! Super flexible with my odd work hours. Finn was very nervous as Brian was his first sitter, but he ended leaving with a wagging tail! Loved the photo updates as well!”
“We are beyond grateful to have found Kristen to care for our beagle, Annie! She had an incredible week filled with fun, and absolutely loved playing with Piper all week. We can’t recommend Kristen highly enough!”
About: 🐾 ONE FAMILY AT A TIME: No unfamiliar boarding dogs competing for attention. 🐶 NO RESIDENT DOGS: Your pup gets to be the dog of the house during their stay. 💻 WORK-FROM-HOME CARE: Your dog has plenty of company and attention throughout the day. 🌳 FULLY FENCED YARD: Easy, frequent outdoor time in addition to walks. 🏡 FREE ROAMING: Your dog lives alongside us, not kenneled or isolated. ❤️ FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: Walks, playtime, couch cuddles, and everyday family life. 🐕 THEIR ROUTINE, OUR PRIORITY: We follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and activity schedule as closely as possible. 📸 PLENTY OF UPDATES: Photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and comfortable. ✨ PERSONALIZED CARE: Their stay is tailored to their personality, energy level, and preferences. We're a dog-loving family of four with years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Both my husband and I grew up with family dogs, and we had our own beloved dog, Buddha, for many years before he passed away in 2021. He is the dog you see pictured in our uploaded photos. We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. ❤️🐾 We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here! Our two school-aged kids absolutely love dogs and are excited to be involved with age-appropriate things like supervised play, filling water bowls, and joining us for walks. Mom and Dad are always the primary caregivers and responsible for all aspects of your dog's care and safety. Having been dog owners ourselves, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. We're happy to follow your dog's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and whatever helps them feel comfortable and at home. We also know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection. Because we have children, we only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around kids, reliably house-trained, and have no history of aggression. Whenever possible, we'd also love to do a quick meet-and-greet or video intro before your dog's first stay to make sure we're a great fit for one another. We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. ❤️🐶 I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away. During each stay, we’ll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. We’ll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care you’d want for them at home.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including administering medication and providing attentive daily care. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines and giving them personalized attention. I also follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. My two children also love animals and are always excited to help me give them plenty of love, attention, and care. We enjoy caring for pets together and making sure every furry friend feels happy, safe, and part of our family while they stay with us. 🐾❤️ I truly enjoy caring for pets as part of my daily routine. I make time every day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, walks, and comfort to pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times available weekdays and weekends “I provide pets with a safe, clean, and loving environment both in my home and in my client’s home. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away
“I have trusted Roseanna and her polite boys several times now and I am so appreciative that Ajax has such a safe and entertaining place to spend the day and play with other puppy friends.”
“Jennifer was great! She took our dog on such short notice and was extremely quick with all of her replys. My pup was so tired when I picked her up, from playing and going on walks. We will definitely be coming back to Jennifer.”
About: My two fur babies lived for 15 and 16 years. Since then, I’ve decided to love my friends and families animal's, spoil them and then give them back! They will be in great hands and receive lots of love until you return home! I work full time from home and enjoy going out for walks throughout the day. I love company of my four legged friends when doing so. I am happy to come to your house after the work day and go for a walk in your neighborhood also! Or if they just like company during the day, they can always come here! My 18 year old son also loves pets as we both miss ours very much! However, as he takes college classes and I work full-time we like the freedom that Rover has to offer while still having the opportunity to help our “neighbors” and getting our pet fix! Your animals will always be on a leash while outside and are very safe in our home.
“I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!”
“Davina really should be the #1 dog sitter in this area! She is amazing with my Jack. He loves going to her house, he runs right up to the door. I usually worry about Jack when I'm not with him, but I don't worry at all when he is with Davina. Contact Davina for the best dog sitting around!”
“This was my first time booking with Bri and she was the absolute best. I felt so reassured that luffy & sesame were in great hands. Both puppers looked like they had a great time at her place. She really takes the time to get to know my dogs as individuals. Will definitely book again!”
About: I am a dog owner of 20 plus years and an animal lover. I currently work from home. I live with my 2 children and miniature Aussiedoodle in a house in a safe neighborhood. I can assure you your furry friend(s) will be safe and at home while staying with me. Ruby is a very friendly 4 year old who has never had an issue with any other animal. She is respectful of other animals, and also eager to make new friends. Animals can be separated in different rooms if need be. What sets me apart from any other doggy caretaker is that I understand that every day is a new adventure for your pooch. I allow your pet to explore while being under careful observation. We may explore new parks in the area or meet new dogs at the local dog run (if you approve). If your pet is staying with me he/she will be walked a minimum of once every 4 hours, given treats (if allowed), fed, and have plenty of playtime. A daily itinerary for your dog will be discussed in advance. You will find me very accommodating to your pooch's needs. At the moment I am available any day for boarding and for doggy daycare. Your animal will be in great hands with me. I look forward to taking your dog on new adventures on our doggy day trips! Need overnight boarding for your pooch? No problem. Your dog will feel right at home with me. I am available for one-time walks, boarding, and doggy daycare. I will take care of all your doggy needs! Woof Woof I work from home so I will be able to give your pooch lots of love and attention. I can easily accommodate your dog's routine so they do not stray from their normal daily routine. I have a large home and yard for plenty of playtime. Your furbaby will have free range of our home unless otherwise adviced. I am comfortable with crating if that is part of your dog's daily routine. I also utilize baby gates if needed.
About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“I had such an incredible experience bringing my pup to Brittany. She was super attentive, understanding and welcoming to both me and my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Brittany!”

About: I have worked in various different ways with animals throughout the past 6 years. I have pet sat for family friends and used to work in a kennel where we board both cats and dogs. I have had pets all my life and know how much they mean to you so I will give them the best care! I have a part time job but it is very flexible! I am looking to do pet sitting full time so I have as much time for your pets as I can! I make sure the pets are comfortable and happy. Just write down what your pet needs and I will make sure to follow their schedule.
About: I've been raised around dogs and cats all my life, as well as how to care for them. I've even had experience taking care of the school pet. I'm currently unemployed and going to part-time college, but I will be available on most weekdays. I have always wanted to work with animals and this will help me with more experience. I would make sure the area is safe and secure and make sure they always have plenty of food and water. At my home, our backyard is fenced in and secured.
About: When my family adopted our first dog, Jennie, a German Shepard mix, I had made it a priority to walk her almost everyday and play with her so she was never bored. I also helped train her when she was a puppy, teaching her how to sit and how to give her paw. I also took care of her when she became older, helping her down stairs and cooking her healthy treats like salmon and chicken. My family has since had two different foster dogs (American bully and Pitbull) that I love to spend time and go on walks with. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands and would love to spend it with your pets! I will always keep a vigilant eye on your pet and do my best to make them as happy as possible. I spend a lot of time outside in my fenced yard with my dog, so I will be sure to give your dog the same amount of attention.
About: Ive had all sorts of pets since childhood i.e. cats dogs chicks bunnies. I have experience with puppies, both golden retriever pups and German shephard pups. I currently do not have any pets for the first time in my life and so I've decided to create an account to supplement my income as well as satisfy my desire to be around furry creatures. For the record, I do not work with reptiles. Furry creatures only :) I am reliable and will keep you updated as much as you'd like me to, with pictures and videos of your pets! Cats and dogs preferred but also have experience with bunnies. I'm currently working in a very flexible industry, so my schedule isn't very rigid, however I will sometimes need to leave the house for 6-8hours. I enjoy being outside with the pups in the evening, when I have the most time. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. I try and stick to the animals routine in their home, although sometimes they can be stubborn and not stick to their own routine. They will, once they trust and warm up to me, sometimes it takes a day or two :) I'm very patient and gentle and will show them all the love :)
“I arranged for someone to walk my dog, but they had to cancel at the last minute due to a medical emergency after I had already left the house and been gone for a few hours. Andrea really went above the call of duty. She called a coworker to come in early and left work early to go and walk my dog. I really appreciated her responsiveness.”
About: We are the epitome of an animal family and have had dogs and cats our whole lives! In addition to having our own fur baby's, we volunteer with a rescue at their events and foster and train puppies 1 week a month. Our children even want to be vets and have taken kids vet classes. The adults in the house work from home and provide plenty of walks and love all throughout the day. Our fur guests are always treated like family when they are here. Both adults in the house work from home and provide walks and outside play time at least every 2 hours (more if we have a puppy). We love to take our pups on daily walks throughout the whole development in additional to backyard play time. We have a very pet friendly development and will take your pups on walks and playtime in the backyard. We offer mimicking your home care so if you crate train, we will crate train. If your fur baby sleeps in your bed, your fur baby can sleep in our bed. We have dog beds and toys throughout the house and our own dogs for your pup to play with throughout the day. Your dogs will always be treated like our own while they are here and get plenty of love and attention.

“Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.”
“Theresa and her family were amazing to my boy, Charlie. They really treated him like family! She took him out often on walks, to the store or to pick up her kids from school! I was sent so many cute photos of all the love Charlie was receiving! She even sent him on his way with an Easter basket!! I can’t recommend her enough! 10/10 5 stars, Theresa was amazing!!”
“OMG so at the last minute my sister canceled on me and my flight was early morning the next day. Jovani was willing to keep Duce last minute. You could tell when I was dropping Duce off that Jovani was in his element and had a genuine love for dogs! Duce was a little nervous but Jovani calmed his nerves immediately. Jovani sent pictures daily to ease my mind and upon pick up I could tell Duce enjoyed his stay. This will be a second home for Duce as we travel a lot. Jovani will be seeing a lot more of Duce! Thank you for easing my mind and assuring Duce had a loving environment and experience home away from home! Thank you thank you 😊 ❤️🙏🏾”
“Debbie was great with our 15 year old dog! We were getting married and needed to procure care for our dog immediately and she quickly agreed to take care of him. She was responsive and a great dog sitter . Thank you Debbie!”
About: Over the years I've cared for the pets of family friends and relatives. From taking pups on walks & play session to drop ins for cats. Making sure I'm following dietary need for each pet. Getting to know the different personalities of each animal I come across is my passion. In my childhood home I was able to experience caring for puppies until they became elderly. Though most of my experience is with pits. I was blessed to care for a doodle mix & a shih Tzu in their last years. I respect all animals and their space. I currently work full-time 3 days a week with 4 day available to care for your furbabies. Saturday- Monday is my work schedule. Tuesday-Friday I am up by 7am cleaning my home or visiting my parents. By 12pm the rest of my day is free. I can do evening drop ins (after 5pm) or overnight stays on the days I work (leave by 4am). Am very flexible during the week. If you're in need of a sitter/ care giver for family or business trips. In my home or the client's home I will follow the set schedule the clients have for their pets. My home has a fenced in backyard where I can take elderly or less fit pups to play and potty. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood where I can take your pup on walks. I do require a harness and leash set per pet with a portable water bowl to keep them hydrated on walks. A breakdown of allergies or sensitivities each pet has. As well as a bed or crate for them to sleep in overnight. At the client's house I would like to do a walk through of the property and learn the habits of their pet. This will give me an understanding of how to properly care for each individual pet in and outside of the home.
“Kathleen is a fantastic dog sitter. We left our dog Lemon with her and he was loved and cared for like he was at home. He is usually nervous and scared when kenneled but he thrived at Kathleen’s. What a relief- her love for dogs is evident and she welcomed him like he is her own. There is now no worry to go on vacation and how the dog will do. We have peace of mind that he will be well-cared for.”
“Felix and her family took great care of Brewzer for a long weekend. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the visit, and Brewzer looked comfortable in their home and like he was having a great visit. We were very happy that our pup was being well taken care of while we were away and will definitely reach out to Felix for future visits. Thank you Felix!”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
About: A lifetime of dog care from puppies to seniors. Our last pup crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago at 17, she left behind a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and 2 loving caretakers. Both my Wife and I are retired. We're home most of the time except for errands or vacations. Plenty of time to give your pup the attention it's deserved. We have a completely fenced in back yard on a quite street in Maple Shade. Dogs are free to roam in and out through the magic mesh. Clean guest dogs are permitted on the furniture and beds. Routine medication can be administered (no needles).
“We knew from the moment Maggie stepped foot inside Meghan’s home that she felt safe and loved. I was amazed at the number of photos and updates that greeted me everyday. Maggie looked super happy and comfortable. Meghan is not only the ultimate puppy sitter; she’s a compassionate soul. I couldn’t imagine leaving Maggie with anyone else.”
“This is my first time leaving my dog Cupcake with a sitter, and Jia is excellent. She communicates regularly and sends photos and videos. Cupcake had a great time. I definitely recommend Jia.”
“This is the second time I used Chastidy and she takes such good care of my Benz. We are so happy to know he is in good hands when we need to leave him for a few days.”
“Just picked our dog up from another stay with Melissa and Dan and it’s so clear to us how well cared for and happy he is in their care. We received regular updates and photos throughout our stay which were so helpful. And we can tell he has a great relationship with their family and dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Gabriela is one of Barkley’s favorite sitters. She loves the whole family and gets so excited when I drop her off. It’s a great comfort when someone loves your dog as much as you do. I never worry when Barkley is there. I’ve already scheduled more time with her because of that.”
“Jeff and family took great care of our girl while we went away for our wedding and honeymoon. He kept us updated with photos throughout the trip and even face timed with us so we could say hi to her. If ever have to go away again we will definitely book him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and anyone should feel lucky to use his services. Thank you Jeff and your household for taking such great care of Nymeria!”
“Bri did such a marvelous job! Our puppy (literally, a 6 month puppy) is a high energy breed and needs a lot of supervision. She provided excellent care, updates (and pictures!) on how he did. Also, Piggy Smalls is awesome! Such a well-trained doggo and patient with my ADHD puppy.”
“Tania has watched our two dogs twice now at her home, and she always does a great job. They’re relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. We feel completely at ease leaving them with her and will definitely be booking again.”
“They took great care of our two Dobermans! We got lots of pics, videos, and correspondence. They have a huge backyard where they got plenty of exercise. Bodhi and Haumea looked very happy when we picked them up. We will definitely use them in the future.”
