“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Yuiko was great! I'm a overprotective dog mom and my dogs are my world. I moved from Chicago and had to find a sitter. Im picky and don't choose just anyone to babysit my pups. Yuiko is the best! She's very great in communication and gives you updates on how their sleeping, eating, etc. And her kids are very sweet. I can tell from the photos my pups were having a blast! 100% A+++ safe, reliable and very sweet! I'll definitely be using her service again.”
“Emelie was wonderful and very relaxed about my dog's quirks. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I was an anxious dog mama but she really made me feel comfortable that he was fitting in and having a good time.”
“Rhea took great care of my dog over the weekend. He was so comfortable as soon as he got there and got along great with their sweet dog. I received pictures and updates multiple times per day and could see he was calm, and happy during his visit. He had a nice little vacation of his own there with lots of walks, play time, and cuddles! Thank you !”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”
“Dakota seemed so comfortable which is rare for him because he’s super anxious and old and set in his ways! I’m so grateful for Christin and I received pictures along the way and I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“Rebecca was wonderful. Bootsie is 12 yrs old and loves her sofa and that’s what she got. A comfy sofa, no other dogs, and a good walk and meal every day. Heaven! She was hard pressed to get up and leave. Rebecca sent pictures every day, keeping me abreast of the visit. She is a warm and caring sitter who put me at ease. Linda P”
“I would 10/10 recommend Jennifer if you’re looking for dog boarding services. Jennifer and her family treats my dog with so much love and care. I have been using her service for almost a year already and can’t think of a better sitter for my dog. You won’t regret leaving your pup with her!! Thanks again for all you do, Jennifer!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”
“Tamikia came through clutch when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby and she took excellent care of him. She is the most responsive host you’ll ever encounter and she sent regular updates of Brodee without prompting which I really appreciated since it was his first time with her. Definitely worth the trip over the bridge (I’m from NJ)!”
“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“Michell was absolutely fabulous! I would send my dog back there in a heartbeat. She came home so happy and well fed. She clearly loves being with Michell. It’s a gift to find someone you’re comfortable leaving your dog with. Highly recommended!!”

“Helena has been nothing but wonderful with our cat Jonah. We have used her a number of times for drop in visits. She brings her kids over to play with him while she tends to his needs and he LOVES it. She was the first person we have ever used with Rover and she has made it the greatest experience. If I could rate her with 10 stars, I would!”
“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”
“Absolutely wonderful! So friendly and accommodating. My cat is very cuddly but also has separation anxiety and Kathy kept him so at ease while I was out of town. Almond loved her!”
“I was anxious about leaving my cat for 2 weeks with a sitter that we have not used before. I am so happy and pleased that we chose Mike. Dexter was a happy cat when I returned, litter box and house was clean and orderly, like I never left! Mike also went further and took care of erroneous deliveries at my front door, disposing of rotting food and personally bringing the packages to the unit of the rightful recipient! Thank you, Mike! I hope we can be repeat customers in the future.”
“SUCH a great sitter! We loved how Angelica brought out the best in our anxious kittie by patiently introducing herself and not pushing her anxiety meds. So on the ball with great pics and summaries.”
“Wonderful! Sent use tons of pictures the whole time we were gone. We were so nervous because we have never hired a sitter before and she was amazing.”
“Brittany is great with our shy cat Kaimera-Brittany is also very quick with her communication and we really appreciate her taking such good care of our special cat. Thank you!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats of all personalities — from confident cuddle bugs to shy cats who need extra patience and time to warm up. I understand that cats thrive on routine, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My cat care experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, providing enrichment through play, brushing, and spending quality time helping your cat feel comfortable in their own space. I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine and learn their unique personality — whether they love attention, prefer their independence, or need a little extra encouragement to come out of their shell. I currently have my own cat, so I especially understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pet like family. During drop-in visits, I’ll provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is getting the care, attention, and affection they deserve.
“Mackenzie was great! She helped with my dog with special needs (deaf, partially blind) over the holidays. She communicated well with updates and pictures every day, and she worked through some bad winter weather! I am very particular with who I trust with my dog, and we would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats throughout most of my life! My mom owned 2 cats from when I was 7, and I helped take care of them until I left for college! I have also cat sit and done drop-in cat care for friends, neighbors, and grandparents in the past. I am very meticulous when cleaning litter boxes and will make sure that your cats stay happy and well-fed! :)
“I was so happy to find Devon at the last minute, and she was fantastic with my cats! She was easy to communicate with and provided great care. She even sent some videos in addition to updates/photos! I will happily book with Devon again in the future.”
“Ali took great care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She always sent pics and was able to problem solve when my cat knocked over her feeder. I was very nervous leaving my cat for the first time but felt at ease with Ali caring for her.”
About: As a mother and a teacher, I have developed the fine art of caregiving. My love of animals is demonstrated not only through play and cuddles, but also by providing the routine and structure pets need in order to feel safe and secure. This balance is so important for the animals we love, as well for ourselves. I practice this balance in my own life through daily excercise, especially walking and yoga. This is another reason why I welcome walking your dog at any pace they are accustomed to or simply snuggling with him/her on your living room floor. In addition, I hold a Masters Degree in Special Education and currently tutor students privately. I am happy to provide references who can speak to my responsible work ethic and character upon your request. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! My private tutoring schedule allows me to be home with your pet mornings and afternoons and I’m never gone more than 3 to 4 hours. I have a large fenced yard and a clean, contained indoor space for your pet to enjoy! When your pet spends time in my yard I will accompany them even though it is completely fenced

“Emelie was great! We had a last minute change to our schedule and she was very accommodating. She also sent photos and responded to messages quickly. Recommend!”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets!

“Shayla was awesome with my pup Koda! I contacted her a little last minute and she welcomed us with open arms. She sent pictures and videos throughout Koda’s stay and I loved seeing how happy he was with the other pups. I would highly recommend having shayla sit for you and your pup!”
About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
“Samantha was very welcoming of Bulbasaur and sent video/photo updates during the day to let me know that he was doing well. Very responsive and easy to work with.”
“Wonderful experience for my dog Harper. And Kristen was very thoughtful, responsive and helpful with everything surrounding the visit. Harper looks forward to her next stay. Highly recommended!!”
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are already planning on using the service a second time thanks to the wonderful job Mel did! She was so communicative and our dog fell in love. Thanks, Mel!”
About: I lead with positive reinforcement and animal advocacy. They're always telling us what they need, it’s just up to us to listen. Regardless of their needs, I adapt to their unique personality to ensure they're safe, comfortable, and happy. And, of course, I make sure to snap plenty of pictures to keep you informed of their stay! Pet care is my full-time focus! I'm always out and about keeping my own dog active and love welcoming an extra guest. Whiskey is a Canine Good Citizen, or as I like to call it, a Certified Good Boy. At 51lbs, he's gentle, polite, and completely content doing his own thing. Because he is so calm and respects boundaries, he's great at helping smaller and/or nervous pups feel comfortable. I also have two cats and understand the important balance of play with personal space. I live in a very safe area in an apartment with a park nearby. I have crates for boarding if needed but do my best to be home with them 100% of the time. There are plenty of blankets for cuddling and snuggles are welcome! For drop in visits, I bring the same dedicated care to your home. My goal is to keep their routine intact so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also treat your home as I would want someone to treat mine, ensuring it remains clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.
“Christopher took Everest on a bunch of walks and fun adventures! I can definitely tell she loves being dropped off with him and I have no concerns that she won’t be taken care of when I leave her with Christopher!”
“Lauren was incredible with Cody. He has some restrictions as he recovers from a broken leg and she was so thoughtful and careful about it, while giving him lots of cuddles and belly rubs. Her dog Cooper was very chill and she sent lots of photos and updates. I would absolutely use Lauren again and am thrilled that I found her!”
About: I used to take care of my son's dogs for many years, as well as dogs from our neighbors. Our house has great temperatures inside and outside I am at home most of the time, since I work from home. I can spent a lot of time with pets. Our neighborhood (Manayunk) is very safe and not noisy. I can host pets, we have a large patio. I have security cameras un our fenced patio. I also have a doggie door, so pets can exit/enter on their own.
“Becky was awesome! Our dog clearly had a great time and came home tired after having a playful, active day with lots of attention. Becky was incredibly responsive from the time I sent the initial request, to providing us updates throughout the day, showing attention to detail and our dog's schedule. This did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated! Definitely recommend using Becky!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 30 years! I’m very familiar with animals and I love taking care of my daughter’s new puppy while she’s away. I’ve owned 4 dogs in my life so far and I am always the first to call when watching my friends dogs! I live an active life and I love walking and hiking. I am a full time pet sitter so I will be very available to watch/walk your dog! I’m super flexible so I will work around your schedule! I love to go on long walks and will make sure your dog gets enough exercise! I am very respectful of other peoples homes and I only want your pet to have the best and most comfortable experience. Your pets safety and your trust in me is my number one priority.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding routines, playtime, litter box care, and administering medications. I’ve cared for pets with a variety of personalities and needs — from energetic dogs who need extra exercise to shy cats who need patience and time to feel comfortable. For many years, I provided in-home pet sitting, including staying overnight in clients’ homes and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners were away. I currently have two long-term clients whose homes I continue to stay in regularly, but now that I have my own pet at home, I am focusing on drop-in visits and walks for new clients. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as a personal trainer. I often have breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide midday walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets while their owners are away. I’m already used to building my schedule around the needs of others, whether that’s my clients or their pets, and I love having animals as part of my day. Outside of work, I’m an active person who enjoys running and spending time outdoors, so I especially enjoy helping dogs get exercise and enrichment. For cats, I love taking the time to provide calm companionship, playtime, and care that keeps them comfortable in their own home. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets quality attention — including walks, bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, cleanup, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so my goal is to make your home feel like a safe, stress-free place while you’re gone.
“Christel is extremely communicative and responsive....but most importantly, our dog genuinely enjoys his walks with her. She does a thorough job walking him around the neighborhood, allowing plenty of time for sniffing.....AND she has the patience to deal with our cranky old dog when he just doesn't wanna go outside. She's successfully lured him downstairs and coaxed him into his much needed walks several times. She is our regular walker for a reason!! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. My family taught me to love, respect, and care for them because they are part of the family. I believe that, just like people, dogs need fresh air, exercise, and time outdoors to stay happy and healthy. I currently live in the United States as a nanny, and one of my favorite parts of my day is taking the family’s dog for walks. I love seeing her enjoy the outdoors, explore new places, and get the exercise she needs. For the past three years, starting when I lived in Colombia, my friends have trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled or needed someone reliable. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, and truly passionate about animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work as a nanny, but I have plenty of free time during the day. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which gives me plenty of time to provide relaxed walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I want every walk to be enjoyable and enriching for your dog, not just a quick trip outside. Every dog has a unique personality, so I like to get to know them and follow their pace. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring different parks, and giving them a safe and fun opportunity to enjoy the outdoors because I truly believe regular walks are important for both their physical and emotional well-being. I also love taking photos during our walks and sending updates to pet parents, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to come home happy, exercised, and excited for our next walk.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.
About: Having worked as a pet care provider for 14 years, I offer dedicated, trustworthy care for all pets, from puppies to elderly dogs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and enjoyment each and every time. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m available from early mornings until 3/4 PM most days, giving me plenty of time for walks and play When dog walking at your home, I prioritize safety, follow your dog’s routine, stay attentive, check for hazards, and ensure your dog feels happy, calm, and well-exercised.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me
About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)

Whether it's checking in on a senior dog or spending extra time with a nervous kitty, I make it a point to build genuine connections and ensure your pet’s routine stays uninterrupted and stress-free, even when you're away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to create a calm, comfortable, and familiar experience that reduces stress for both the animal and their owner. I’m Fear Free Certified, which means I use proven, science-based techniques to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress during every visit, and let your pet set the pace for interactions. I carefully observe body language and behavior to understand how each animal is feeling and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want belly rubs right away; others need space and quiet before warming up, and that’s okay! I respect each animal’s boundaries and do my best to build trust at their own pace. Whether I’m feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up, or administering medications, I stay attuned to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy cats, high energy dogs, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. You’ll receive updates after every visit, including photos and notes on how your pet is doing, so you can travel or be away from home knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: As a mother and a teacher, I have developed the fine art of caregiving. My love of animals is demonstrated not only through play and cuddles, but also by providing the routine and structure pets need in order to feel safe and secure. This balance is so important for the animals we love, as well for ourselves. I practice this balance in my own life through daily excercise, especially walking and yoga. This is another reason why I welcome walking your dog at any pace they are accustomed to or simply snuggling with him/her on your living room floor. In addition, I hold a Masters Degree in Special Education and currently tutor students privately. I am happy to provide references who can speak to my responsible work ethic and character upon your request. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! My private tutoring schedule allows me to be home with your pet mornings and afternoons and I’m never gone more than 3 to 4 hours. I have a large fenced yard and a clean, contained indoor space for your pet to enjoy! When your pet spends time in my yard I will accompany them even though it is completely fenced

“Emelie was wonderful and very relaxed about my dog's quirks. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I was an anxious dog mama but she really made me feel comfortable that he was fitting in and having a good time.”
“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”
“Dakota seemed so comfortable which is rare for him because he’s super anxious and old and set in his ways! I’m so grateful for Christin and I received pictures along the way and I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Rebecca was wonderful. Bootsie is 12 yrs old and loves her sofa and that’s what she got. A comfy sofa, no other dogs, and a good walk and meal every day. Heaven! She was hard pressed to get up and leave. Rebecca sent pictures every day, keeping me abreast of the visit. She is a warm and caring sitter who put me at ease. Linda P”
“Tamikia came through clutch when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby and she took excellent care of him. She is the most responsive host you’ll ever encounter and she sent regular updates of Brodee without prompting which I really appreciated since it was his first time with her. Definitely worth the trip over the bridge (I’m from NJ)!”
“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“Michell was absolutely fabulous! I would send my dog back there in a heartbeat. She came home so happy and well fed. She clearly loves being with Michell. It’s a gift to find someone you’re comfortable leaving your dog with. Highly recommended!!”
“We are so grateful to have found Ulku and Andrew! They were so kind and wonderful to work with and our dog seemed to have had the best time! Their backyard was a real treat for our dog and the picture and video updates were awesome. We really hope to be able to work with them again in the future!”
“I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Danielle. My dog Paulie is my life and he has never been away from home for longer than a night. We were going away for a week and so I was nervous to leave him, especially because he has anxiety and is shy around new people. Right after dropping him off, I felt confident and secure that he was in good, caring hands. I was so happy to find out that while he was there, Paulie came out of his shell and became super comfortable in Danielle’s home. I was afraid that he was going to be standoffish and anxious the entire time - but he clearly had a great time with Danielle, Wade, and their dog Jones! He was shown so much love and was treated like family, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Danielle’s communication is top notch and I would not hesitate to have her watch Paulie again!”
“Kristin was wonderful with Charlie, and when I had a slight change in plans was able to accommodate them very easily. Was always responsive and sent me lots of photos from the weekend. Will definitely send Charlie back!”
“Jasmine took great care of my dog, he played very well with her dog Sprinkles and got plenty of exercise! Would definitely have her take care of my pup again!”
“Maya's stay with Melanie over Christmas was great. Melanie's home is very welcoming and she made every effort to make sure Maya was comfortable. Thank you for having her and I will definitely be in touch for a future stay!”
“Kerry was amazing! Goose loved her and she kept me updated about how he was doing. You can tell she really loves and cares about the dogs she watches. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Christopher is the best!! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Tofu with him. She gets so excited to see him. I know she loves her time with him!”
“Thank you Allison and Kevin for taking such great care of our dog during our recent trip. My family and I really appreciated seeing daily pics of her. It helped us enjoy being away even more since we knew Mandy was with a great family.”
“Christina took great care of our pup! She sent cute pictures and kept us updated the whole time! He loved her and was very happy and relaxed with her. We’d definitely use her services again!”
