“Amber has watched our pup many times now and our pup doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up! She is so well taken care of with Amber and clearly has so much fun! Amber is the best pup-sitter!”
“Daniella was absolutely amazing with my dog! He is usually very anxious when meeting new people and often won’t eat, but he was so comfortable with her that he happily ate his dinner. I really appreciated the photo updates throughout the visit—it put my mind at ease knowing he was happy. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Haley and I’m located in Nanticoke! I’ve been around dogs & taking care of them since I was little! I have a fur baby, a German Shepherd who’s the sweetest boy and would love to have some friends. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can run. I’ll also take them on walks & give them lots of snuggles! I am currently available all day! So I am able to give your pup undivided attention and love. I will take them on walks and play in the backyard with them as well! I have a fenced in yard and a fur bay of my own to keep them company. I have a crate if need be as well.
“Christy and her family were great with our dog Bucky, who is an excitable one year old Australian Cattle Dog. I got regular updates and felt very good leaving our pup with her.”
“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Cheyenne takes excellent care of our Lainey! She keeps us updated daily as to how she’s doing and Lainey loves her puppies Cheetos & Popcorn. We are definitely at ease when we’re away knowing the care Lainey is getting and highly recommended Cheyenne.”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“I was looking for a last minute sitter and my coworker told me about Rover. I found Debbie and Phil on the app and got a quick response. We did a meet and greet two days later and I was blown away by the size of the yard (all fenced in). For the price of a kennel, Debbie and Phil took amazing care of my Australian Shepard. They sent me daily pictures and videos and my dog Daisy had a blast running around with their other dogs. Skip the kennel, these guys are great! Your dog will thank you. Thanks Phil and Debbie.”
“I was very nervous to leave my new puppy with a sitter for the first time, but they made it a seamless and stress free process. They are so kind and welcoming and sent so many updates and pictures! 11/10! Thank you again!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“Glenn was very accommodating and friendly. My dogs were happy to see us, but they seemed happy that they stayed. Glenn followed my directions, asked questions, and sent pictures. I will definitely use him again.”
“Jennifer has been great with our dogs for years and we will for sure keep coming back. She treats your pet like her own and really goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
About: I have three doggies of my own and I love them with all my heart. I have experience walking feeding and playing with my own dogs as well as neighbors and friends dogs. I’m also comfortable with baths and distributing medications. I trained both of my dogs when they were puppies so if I’m watching a puppy and you need me to practice some simple tricks with him/her I’m able to do that for you. I work full time 9-5 so I am available for early morning walks and evening visits!! I am always available Saturdays and Sundays after church! I’m very vigilant when letting dogs outside even if a client has a fenced in yard. If there’s no fence I will take the dogs out on a leash. I have a good memory and I write important things down, especially special instructions you may have for me to take care of your furry friend. For boarding: I currently live in a small apartment in a city apartment building, but there are plenty of nearby outdoor options for dogs. There are sidewalks all around the building for regular walks, a grassy area directly across the street, and a small patch of grass behind the building for quick potty breaks. Kirby Park is also right across the street, which is perfect for longer walks, fresh air, and exercise in a safe, open space. There are no animals living with me currently and I will only board one dog at a time, unless they come from the same family!
About: My husband and I are animal lovers in general and dog lovers in particular. We always worry when boarding our own dogs and, now that we've retired, we wanted to provide a "home like" boarding service for other dog lovers. We have 2 rooms dedicated for the dogs to roam free. Sofa for lounging and television or music available during their stay. Bright sunlight and large windows. We have a large kennel that is outside and the dogs are free to come and go through a doggie door in our kitchen. We have many years experience caring for dogs and our family currently includes 2 bichon Frise. They are both peaceful and friendly and love meeting new dog friends. We wanted to provide a reasonably priced animal boarding service close to home. We are located in Hunlock Creek, 25 minutes from Dallas or Wilkes-Barre, 15 minutes from Nanticoke. Drop off time is anytime from 9AM on and Pick up time is by noon or you must schedule another day. If special times are needed let us know. We will also board birds and small pets at a lower rate. Ask us. Please visit us to see our home ! We are retired and available most days full time - check the calendar. All boarders roam free during the day and sleep on floor or in bed you provide at night. Feedings and treats on daily schedule. Daily exercise in yard if good weather. Dogs roam our secured house freely. Will either be on leash or on zip run if in yard. If dogs need to be separated we have a room we use for that purpose. If your dog likes to sleep in kennel please bring with you or we will provide a kennel or cage (extra fee).
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“I couldn’t say enough good things!!! They are amazing. They watched my dog Rosie at night multiple days a week while I worked here since January of this year until now. Being new to the area they had the best reviews and were the only reliable and consistent people I found. They are very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs and my dog loved going there. Thank you so much for the help!!!! 10/10 definitely recommend!!”

About: I was 10 when I first convinced my mom to let me have a cat and I have never looked back. I helped my local shelters by volunteering and fostering when I was 10.

“Fluffy had a wonderful time with Amber! It's not often that Fluffy has the opportunity to play with other dogs her size, so this was certainly a treat for her. Judging the by the pictures from her Rover card, it's evident that Fluffy was spoiled with attention and love during her stay.

“I was worried about leaving my Bella with a sitter because I'd never done it. Christy was very sweet and assured me my baby would be fine. She allowed me to stay in her home for a few minutes to see how Bella would interact with her dogs and family. I got pictures and videos and that made me feel much better. I was very anxious but was able to enjoy the day with my husband. Thank you Christy for taking good care of my baby.”
“I'm so glad that Savannah's first doggy daycare experience was with Christina! She looked so happy playing with Christina's dogs! I could easily see that Christina loves dogs, she was very welcoming and friendly, and I loved getting the photos and updates, too. Savannah will definitely return for more fun!”
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”
About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fancy mice, african soft furred rats, small birds, aquatic turtles, fresh water fish, and ball pythons. I have known since childhood that I wanted to care for animals. During childhood I spent my free time volunteering at my local animal shelter. Helping clean animal pens and crates. During high school I volunteered at my local animal hospital as well as the local emergency animal hospital. As of recently I have been volunteering at a senior dog rescue. I love being able to help animals and I can’t wait to help care for your furbaby(ies). I currently am a stay at home pet parent and am looking to fill my free time with more animals. Plus I love to go hiking and always find it better to with a furry companion. My yard is unfenced but I enjoyed taking my dog on as many walks she wants. Sadly I can’t host pets at my house because my cats are wary about new dogs. But I love taking dogs on nice long walks so they can stretch their legs.

I also have many years of experience volunteering at a local animal shelter where I have helped take care of many different types of dogs. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)! I am currently in medical school so I have a bit of a hectic schedule & do bounce between NEPA & Philadelphia. There are weeks when I am completely available & others I am completely booked. I will keep my calendar updated accordingly! I offer a warm and safe home for my own pets and any pets I take care of. I always make sure their needs are met - water full, meals on time, potty breaks whenever needed. If they're energetic, I love a good play time or a long walk!

About: I’ve taken care of my cat and dog for 8 years. I love to walk my neighbors dogs and create relationships with all types of animals. I currently work a full time job. i’m usually off two or three days a week and sometimes overnight so i’ll be available during the day. I can easily crate if your dog needed it. My neighbor is a dog friendly area. I can doors and windows locked and closed at all times.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Since I was a kid, I could never walk past a hurt or stray animal without stopping to help. I’ve fed and looked after stray cats and dogs, reunited lost pets with their families, and even taken in animals until they were safe. One of my earliest memories is rescuing an injured bird from kids who were trying to hurt it and nursing it back to health. I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!
About: Are you searching for a unique and flexible animal lover with 7 years of professional pet care experience under her belt on Rover and elsewhere? I currently work as a Dog Groomer at Petsmart, and have other past work experience from day care and boarding facilities. Let your pet(s) hang out with me while you’re away and you will have peace of mind that their routines will remain intact, and they will always stay happy and healthy during every short visit and all extended stays with me.😊 I know how to approach animals who might have anxious or cautious tendencies due to my experience with rescue animals, and have cared for several different special needs animals (ex. Blind, Deaf, heart conditions, brachycephalia) I can be entrusted to administer oral medication effectively as well. No matter the breed or demeanor, dogs seem to warm up to me very quickly. Disclaimer- we just may become best friends when they get their first back scratch. I typically accomodate with Daytime Drop-ins, 30/60 min. Dog Walks, and very flexible custom House Sitting services. Please contact me through Rover, phone, or email, and I will promptly respond to sort out an arrangement that best suits everyone, especially your pets! 🐶 I work full time as a dog groomer at Petsmart 10-6 Monday-Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I am available for your pets all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and evenings/nights always! I offer house-sitting services for clients needing me to stay in their home while they go away for a long period of time, and also drop in visits/quick walks for clients who need someone to check on their pup during the day. I provide food and water, allow them exercise and go outside as needed, entertain them to their hearts' content, and naturally I give them all the love they deserve and then some. 🥰 I accomodate for pet care needs by providing pet sitting or walking services in the evenings and on my days off from my full time job. I do not provide services within my home, but in a client's home, I always make sure the pets are comfortable with my presence, and I care for them exactly as the pet parents require. They can contact me anytime to check on them and I always send pictures.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, both big and small. I’ve dog sitted for a couple of dogs around my neighborhood. We have trained my dog to walk off leash. Very active and would love to take your dog on a hike with me! Working part time throughout the summer. Free on weekends. Would love to stop by for early morning and evening walks/hikes! Overnight house sitting would fit right in with work. Before meeting the dog, I’ll make sure we acclimate to each others spaces. Allowing the dog to become accustomed to who I am and comfortable being walked or taken care of by me. Hopefully we’ll meet more than once and I’ll become recognizable and a friendly playmate!
About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I currently own 4 fur babies. Two dogs, two cats. I KNOW how important it is for pets to be properly cared for, because I want my pets getting the same worry free care. I've been taking care of animals most of my life, and worked for a professional pet care service. I make sure that my pets, and yours always get the best attention and care possible. Depending on the service, I can be there for a full overnight stay, anytime from Wed-Mon. If it's a simple walk, I will usually try to be there 10 minutes in advance. No matter what, my schedule is open In my home my dogs are always leashed when outside. My cats always have fresh litter, water and food. My dogs get fresh water 1-2 times per day. Depending on the service requested, I can make sure they're fed, empty their litter, water, anything to make sure they're comfortable! You'll get a picture each time I visit of your fur baby to let you know they're alright.
About: I have over 30 years experience with all kinds of animals. I had a hobby farm for 20 years and have experience with cats dogs horses, sheep pigs we even have had reptiles of all sorts! My children were fortunate to be raised with animals. I am an avid outdoors, person, and love animals. I have trained several dogs/cats over the years as well as horses. Perhaps the cat may have trained me.😊 I look forward to meeting your pets and treating them like one of my own. Lynne I am a registered nurse. My schedule is open Monday- Friday as well as certain weekends. I am very flexible and we can discuss your pet needs. I am available to sit your pet in your home, dog walk, drop in, medicate as needed. In certain circumstances, I may be able to sit your pet in my home. I am open to sitting farm animals as well due to the experience I have.
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.

“Daniella was absolutely amazing with my dog! He is usually very anxious when meeting new people and often won’t eat, but he was so comfortable with her that he happily ate his dinner. I really appreciated the photo updates throughout the visit—it put my mind at ease knowing he was happy. Highly recommend!”
“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”
“Cheyenne takes excellent care of our Lainey! She keeps us updated daily as to how she’s doing and Lainey loves her puppies Cheetos & Popcorn. We are definitely at ease when we’re away knowing the care Lainey is getting and highly recommended Cheyenne.”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Adam was wonderful with Scout! I was a little nervous about boarding him since he usually stays with family, but Adam and his family truly made it feel like he was staying with relatives of his own. He sent regular updates and pictures throughout Scout's stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Every photo showed Scout looking happy, comfortable, and cozying up to everyone. It was clear he was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Adam made it so easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in great hands. We're incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him with Scout again in the future!”
“Jennifer has been great with our dogs for years and we will for sure keep coming back. She treats your pet like her own and really goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“We cannot thank Jessica enough. She responded promptly so we could make our plans. Chester got to enjoy some of the hoidayfestivities with Jessica.She kept us informed throughout his stay. When we arrived to pick him up he wasn't sure he wanted to come with us. He keep running back to her for more hugs. He is definitely looking forward to his next visit.”
“I have been looking for a quality dog sitter for several years and I finally found one. Natalie is a gem! I have a large, sweet, anxious dog and in the past she has come back from sitters a nervous wreck, sometimes taking a week or so to get back to normal (with diarrhea sometimes). I pick up my pooch this morning after a week away and she was her happy, calm self with normal poo! Looks like my dog had a great week. Natalie knew just what to do with a nervous dog and gave me regular updates throughout the week. She even gave my dog a bath! I highly recommend Natalie.”
“Jule took the such good care of my two Portuguese water dogs. They took such a liking to her and you could tell how comfortable they were around her. Any time I need dog care in the area she will be my first call!”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a Mini Goldendoodle who turns 2 on June 28. She’s the sweetest, friendliest little girl and truly a part of my family. Spending every day with her has taught me so much about the love, patience, and attention that dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, giving extra cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. What sets me apart is that I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I know my dog is my baby, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, kindness, and care. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy and having fun Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already spend my days caring for my own dog. Adding another dog to the mix doesn't feel like work to me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm used to daily walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and all the little things that come with being a dog parent. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended in situations that could put them at risk.
