About: HI! I'm a young retired pet lover who is looking to help out fur babies families! I am available for house sitting and pet hosting at my home. Being retired, I am not on a regular schedule so I am home most often, but just like everyone, I do have appointments, shopping etc outside the home. I try to not be gone more than 5 hours at a time. I have had many dogs and cats in my life but none right now. I have been helping family and friends my whole life with pet sitting. I have helped with Chihuahua’s to PitBulls! I try to keep your fur babies on the same routine they have with you. Since I'm retired, I can take them on several walks a day. I am patient and enjoy large dogs as well as small.

I am retired but do help with caregiving of two family members so I am gone up to 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. Your fur baby is allowed on my couch and bed. I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover

I would definitely use Hayley again and would recommend her very professional services without reservation.”

Animals are my passion and I have experience caring for cats, birds, and all breeds of dogs. I try to work around my regular job and college classes as well as other activities such as karate and homework. I am very busy, but I will always make time for animals. I will respectfully take care of your pet in your home, or out in the yard or park with whatever items are specified. I will not touch anything else.
“Karla did an outstanding job watching our dog! She was on time and very careful to make sure that our Girl was not in need of anything.

About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
About: I grew up with dogs. A small 1/2poddle 1/2shitzu and a medium size chow chow. Everyone in my family had/have dogs so I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. Friends and family have relied and trusted me to walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets. I am currently working from home every other week so I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur baby. I am off by 4:30pm so i am available for more spoiling after that. 🫶🏼 I have plenty of space in my apartment and a fenced in yard. I am open to any of your needs & wants. My neighborhood is great for walks or even a jog. 🫶🏼
“Michelle treats your dog ? like part of her family! This is the 2nd time I left my pup (who is like my child) at her place. First off she is very friendly and easy going. She talked to me about my dog prier to me dropping him off. She has a fenced back yard that he could run around. She has a dog of her own that is super friendly and they played all day together. Sent me multiple photos of my dog playing or napping through out the day. Not to many, not to little, just right. THE BEST PART!! She sent me a photo of my pup laying on the couch with her son snuggling!!? ?? ? Let me tell you when you leave your pup with her they are part of the family ???? ? I can not recommend her enough!”
“We are so happy we found Jeanne. Our Rigby came home so happy. We are using her for routine care and are so excited we have someone who cares for the dogs like they are her own. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful to Michael and Perla for providing such wonderful care during our pup’s first two days of doggy daycare. As a first-time dog owner without family nearby, I was feeling quite anxious, but Michael reassured me every step of the way and kept me updated. His care and communication gave me such peace of mind. I’ve already noticed positive changes—our pup now plays more confidently and independently in the garden. We’re truly looking forward to many more daycare and boarding stays in the months ahead. There’s simply no better family to trust with your dog’s care!”

About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup.

You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.
“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”
“Christian took such great care of Chance! I really appreciated him taking the time to meet chance prior to having him in his home and helped give some great pointers on leash control etc! Chance can’t wait to come back next week!”

“Levi was great! Every day, he showed up on time and covered over 1 mile in each of the scheduled 30-minute walks. He was friendly and seemed to really love dogs. Additionally, walking a 100lb Malamute who likes to pull was no problem for him.”
“Jenna took great care of our Goldendoodle, Finn, while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and always showed up as scheduled. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing Finn was happy and well cared for.

Finn seemed very comfortable with her, and we were grateful to have someone dependable looking after him. Thank you, Jenna, for taking such good care of our pup!”
About: I have two dogs and for the past 9 years I have volunteered at an animal rescue weekly. Providing care, walking feeding and playing with dogs while they awaited a forever home. I am a stay at home Mom who's children are working and in college. I would like to fill my week days doing what I enjoy. I will handle any dog in my care like they are my own.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals. I previously managed and worked in luxury animal care and boarding, where I cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, temperaments, dietary needs, medications, and specialized care requirements. I also founded and run my own land and wildlife sanctuary, where caring for both domestic animals and supporting a diverse array of wildlife is part of my everyday life. This background has made me deeply attentive to animal behavior, safety, routines, comfort, and compassionate care. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and very tuned into each animal’s individual personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I take time to help them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, senior pets, medications, multi-animal households, and providing calm, attentive day-to-day care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved companion, and I treat every animal with warmth, gentleness, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the week and weekends. care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and close attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are safe, secure, well-supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, water, exercise needs, cleanliness, and giving pets calm companionship while their owners are away. I understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s beloved animal, and I always aim to provide dependable, gentle, stress-free care. 🐾
About: I’ve loved animals since I understood how much they bring to someone’s life. Friends, family, and neighbors have always asked me to watch them because of the connection I create with an animal right away. I think connecting with an animal is a one of a kind experience! I’m currently unemployed trying to find a career that fully encapsulates who I am. I have a degree in sports medicine and a large background in healthcare and finance. I love everything about helping people. Although im unable to take care of pets in my personal home due to landlord pet restrictions, I value any pet owner with proper safety for their animals and genuine care that I can help provide to their fur baby!

About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I am able to handle any size dog and provide the physical demands and stamina of going on walks as an athlete. I have watched and walked a variety of dogs and know that they each have different personalities and needs which I am able to accommodate for. I daily feed and walks my two-family dogs every day for about a mile. I also take them to trails so they can see a different scenery. As a dog walker, I am able to walk at different speeds and different distances depending on the dog, and for drop in visits. I am able to feed, play with, and make sure they are taken care of.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep commitment to animal welfare. Having been raised around dogs and actively training them since I was young, I understand that every pet has a unique "language." As a long-time foster and volunteer for multiple rescues, I am experienced with dogs from all backgrounds, including those who may be nervous, shy, or need a little extra patience. I specialize in the two ends of the spectrum—the high-energy needs and foundational training of puppies, and the gentle, attentive medical/mobility care required for seniors. I am confident and capable of handling "extra-large" personalities. I know how to maintain control on walks and provide the structure that larger breeds need to feel secure. As a teacher, my life runs on a well-organized schedule, which is perfect for dogs who thrive on routine. During the school year, I am out the door early but back home by mid-afternoon, ensuring your pet has plenty of evening attention, long walks, and backyard play. Because I’m home during all major school holidays and the summer months, I can offer extended care and more frequent potty breaks during those times. Your pet will benefit from a structured environment where feedings, walks, and 'quiet time' happen like clockwork. I don't just 'watch' pets; I welcome them into my family. In my home, your dog will have my own friendly fur babies for companionship and socialization. We treat every guest with the same love and attention we give our own. Whether they are lounging around the house or playing in the fully fenced in yard, your pet will be part of our daily rhythm. I believe pets are happiest when they feel they belong, so they’ll have full access to a comfortable, supervised environment where they can feel right at home.
About: I have cared for pets of all ages and breeds. I am comfortable handling and walking energetic youngsters and senior dogs that require a little more patience I have a full time job that has flexible hours. Some days I am available all day and other days I have to leave for a few hours but I’m always back home for dinner time or walks around the neighborhood I care for all pets as if they were my own. I appreciate their personalities and quirks. I am excited to add more animals to my pet sitting fam!

“We couldn't be happier with Mike and Perla’s care for our toy poodle Oscar, over the past four days. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and takes this responsibilities seriously. Mike was incredibly attentive, sending us regular updates and adorable photos and videos of our little guy looking happy and relaxed. He followed all our instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond by giving extra cuddles and walks. Our little one came back calm, happy, and well-cared-for. We highly recommend Mike & Perla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you, for your exceptional care and dedication — you’ve earned every one of these five stars! Chris & Derlim”

About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Melissa and Angel are so amazing! They did a fabulous job at looking after my sweet girl and sent me lots of updates with pictures and videos. She looked so comfy and cozy. She had a blast! My girl had an ear infection at the time of boarding as well and they did very well making sure to stay on her medication schedule. She was very calm and not agitated at all coming back from her stay. We had a huge hiccup with car troubles and needed to extend her stay 2 more nights. Melissa and Angel made me feel so comfortable and assured me that everything would be okay when extending the times. They worked with me the entire time! Thank you both and Sheva hopes to see you again! :)”
“Megan and her family were great with our 2 dogs. Both dogs are more on the nervous side and tend to be very shy and hide in new situations. Megan said she let them take their time getting to know the place and let them decide when they would be interested in being more social with the family. The girls seemed to do well and were happy and healthy when we came and got them. Also appreciated the flexibility on the drop off/pick up as we were beholden to airline schedules! Our booking was last minute, so I'm very thankful Megan was willing to take the girls and I will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Missy was great with Meadow. She’s very responsive to messages. Meadow looked so happy in the pics. She came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Nissy and the other I would definitely recommend her services.”
