“I am so thrilled to have met Yuiko. My dog, Luna, stayed with her for doggy day care earlier in the year. Yuiko took wonderful care of her. This time she stayed overnight for 4 nights. Yuiko sent me pictures showing me how happy Luna was! When I picked Luna up, she was thrilled to see me but was in no rush to leave Yuiko and her very loving family!”
“We could not be happier with Ulku and Andrew! They watched our 11 month dog for a week- we were very nervous but their constant communication made us feel so much better! They sent us updates each morning and we could really tell our pup was having a great time! Would definitely recommend them and book again in the future!”
“Rhea did an amazing job taking care of Tommy and providing me updates throughout his stay. He was extremely happy from what I can tell, and seemed to enjoy his time with Rhea. Thanks again!!!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing taking care of Mac. She made sure he got enough exercise and playtime while also giving him space to wind down and relax. Mac ending up being on prescription diet during the boarding and Maria followed it perfectly! I was so thankful she was able to watch him and I will definitely be booking again. I also really appreciated the updates throughout the day about the various activities she did with Mac. Additionally, her dog Cookie was super playful with Mac despite the large difference in their size. Mac truly seemed like he was having a great time which brought me piece of mind for his stay.”
“Our dogs had a great holiday stay with Emilie! She took wonderful care of them, they were happy, safe and calm with her. I appreciated the frequent updates and photos as we really missed them while we were away. Emilie was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer and her family were the perfect fit for our 2yo dachshund, Linguine. This was our first time being away from him for a week and she was communicative every day with photos and updates. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Aimee was absolutely amazing and is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve met so far! She took care of our dog for ten days, and from the very beginning, we knew our pup was in great hands. 😁 She has such a warm, caring personality, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave our dog. Throughout the entire stay, she sent frequent updates with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was wonderful to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was every day. 😌 We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Aimee went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to caring for their pets. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! ☺️”
“Rebecca went above and beyond through the entire process. It was my first time using Rover and she exceeded my expectations. She is SO sweet and Sydney enjoyed her vacation with her. I will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Mary was WONDERFUL. I left my dog with her for 12 days, the longest I have ever been away from my dog. I had nothing to be nervous about as Mary kept me in the loop the whole time I was away. She was great at providing physical activity with my dog which is a huge part of her well being! They have a lot of yard space outside which is great for running around and made me feel comfortable! She was professional and timely with answering any of my questions about my dog. Was receptive to any special requests I had made for my dog as well which was great! I would 100% book with her again if I am going away! Also she sends photo updates which I LOVED!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Jennifer was wonderful as always! We know Ruby is in great hands with her—she always has such a great time with Jennifer’s dogs and comes home happily exhausted from all the playtime!”
“We were extremely nervous to leave our Chihuahua for vacation. Our dog is a handful at times, requiring oral medications 2 times a day. Brad was very welcoming and his home is ideal for hosting smaller dogs. We received many photos and videos throughout our trip. Brad would be my first choice to watch our dog again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Jessica! She was an excellent communicator, providing regular updates and photos of my dog while we were traveling. My dog seemed very happy and well-cared for when we picked her up, and I appreciated how much she seemed to care about my dog’s happiness. She even gave her a birthday party! I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone in need of reliable and caring dog sitting services.”
“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!!”

About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a care taker for your animal while you are away! I have grown up with dogs (and the occasional bird & fishies). For the past 12 years, I've lived with and visited my best bud Zeke at my parent's house. I would love to have a dog of my own in the future, however for now I am hoping and so happy to take care of other's loved ones during the week and on weekends! I'm an active individual and enjoy taking dogs on walks, for car rides and the occasional ice cream or pup cup. I will give your animal all the love that they've come to expect because they certainly deserve it! Please reach out with any questions, and thanks again for thinking of me! :) I currently work full time (9-5) Monday-Friday, however I usually work from home Friday's and am available on weekends for full time pet care. During the week, I am able to visit (feed, walk, take out for bathroom needs) early in the morning (between 5:30 am to 7 am and in the evening (between 6-9 pm) In my current apartment, pets are welcome visitors. However, I am also happy to visit your home multiple times a day and stay with your pet when needed, especially if you are close! I work only 20 minutes away so I would have ample time in the morning and especially in the evening to stop by to feed, toilet, walk and play with your pet! This is especially great if your pet doesn’t do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything they’d need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!
“Amanda was great and I will definitely rebook! She answered my request to book almost immediately and very last minute! I was very impressed by the way she cared for my dogs while on a walk. She noticed my older dog was having some trouble in the heat so she took him home and then went back out with my younger, hyper dog! Highly recommend!”
“Ryanne is always so communicative, flexible with our schedule & buddy’s need + she leaves the best rover card comments/pictures after each visit ☺️ We appreciate you”
“Amanda did a nice job with drop-in visits for our 2 cats. Instructions were followed, communication was good and Remy appreciated the play time! Will book with her again”
“Emma was great! She sent the absolute best pictures of my two cats, and I can tell they had a great time with her. I was gone for 2 weeks but felt safe and comfortable leaving them with her coming to check on them. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Allison is amazing! First time using her and we definitely will be again. She provides the BEST visit summaries and gives us so much peace of mind. I knew my babies were getting the best care!”
“Extremely reliable and communicative! My dog has anxiety when we leave. Jeff went above and beyond to make her as comfortable as possible including staying at our house overnight and additional check-ins during the day. I would recommend Jeff to everyone looking for a safe, reliable person for their pets.”
“Morgan took exceptional care of our cat while we were away! Her updates were detailed and very thoughtful. We loved all the pictures too! Our family truly appreciates the care she provides!”
“Ridgley did great feeding my cat and administering his meds. She spent time hanging out with him and make sure he was a happy guy while I was happy. Highly recommend and will be booking again!”
“Dominique was great and made sure to give me updates/was very flexible coming to check in, especially when we had specific instructions because our dog wasn’t feeling great! Felt very comfortable and confident in the check in!”
“Si yeon was great. I forgot to update Rover with my new address. She went to my old address. Totally my fault. I gave her the new address and told her to just go the next day but she insisted that she felt bad for my kitties and went straight over to the correct address to feed them. I would highly recommended Si yeon. She cares about animals and did a wonderful job.”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Ann! I work from home and truly enjoy having a furry companion by my side throughout the day. I know how important it is for dogs to get daily walks and fresh air—so I make sure every pup in my care gets plenty of exercise and fun, rain or shine. Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets. I grew up surrounded by animals, which taught me to understand their needs and emotions on a deeper level. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, lots of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My Home I share my home with two friendly cats who prefer relaxing in their own space when we have visiting dogs. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for everyone. To make sure each guest gets the care and attention they deserve, I only board up to two dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy a cozy home setting, plenty of personal attention, and lots of cuddles. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into our little family! ~Ann I am self employed and work full time at home ensuring that your pet will get the attention they deserve and need. They have easy access to the backyard as well. The backyard is fenced in. I have never allowed my dogs to sleep on my bed nor sofa but they have their own ottoman to stay close to me while I watch TV and the comfort of a dog bed and/ or crate. My home is peaceful ☺️
“If you are looking for a safe home for your pup, this is the perfect place. Andrew and Ulku are wonderful people who love dogs. Best wishes to them and lots of woof woof ❤️❤️”
“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! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“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!”
“Winter had a very good time with them. He came home happy and energetic. Looks like he had lots of fun with cookie. Thank you both for taking good care of winter.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my puppy. She and her husband took the time to get to know us through a thoughtful meet‑and‑greet. Jessica then followed up with clear communication, made sure I felt completely comfortable before the booking, and ensured all details of the day were clear. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly caring sitter.”
“It was a great pleasure to leave my pup with Alessandra. She was very pleasant to communicate with and my pup went to her for the first time with her tail wagging. I will book with her again with a peace of mind. Thanks again, Alessandra.”
“Yuhan was very good with my dog Teddy, and too him on short notice as I had a last minute event to attend. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures which I loved. She's a lovely person and filled me in everything about my pet when I picked him up.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Rhea went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, loved, and cared for while I was away. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear my pet was in great hands and truly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been a lover and caregiver of animals since I was born. I grew up with my Huskey, Blue sleeping under my crib and growing up with me until he sadly passed when we were both 16. I am currently 34 now with 3 senior cats and a large knucklehead named Simba (pictured). My experience with animals runs from kittens to senior cats to stubborn miniature dachshund puppies to high energy escape artists like Blue. I would love to have the opportunity to love on your fur babies just how I love on mine. I work from home most days and can be available early in the morning before 9am, once mid -day if you're within a 10-minute drive and any time after 5pm. I am typically available all day on weekends and can be fairly flexible. I do care for my own 4 and would not be available for overnights. I have a large fenced in yard (approximately .5 acre) with privacy fencing that I'm more than happy transporting your pup to if they need to burn off some energy off leash.
About: I have always lived with at least two dogs. I am relied upon by friends and families often to watch / walk their dogs. I have experience with all types of dogs, large and small, high anxiety, high energy, you name it! Your pup will never be left alone for long periods of time. My wife and I have schedules that allow us to be home most days. Your pups are treated as our own and will have plenty of yard time to soak up the sun and play each day. I have two very animal friendly dogs. Both are goofy hound dogs. I have a fenced in yard and 2 crates at my house as well (crates are only used if asked for). I have reliable transportation to get to your home and unlimited treats for your fur baby.
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.
“She took great care of my needy dog, quickly learning his personality quirks and needs. She communicated regularly and provided lots of updates. I would definitely book again!”
“Dipper’s first doggie day care was with Tina and she did an amazing job at communicating with us through out the day and making our pup feel comfortable being away from home for the first time!”
“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”
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 & happy whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.

“Carolyn is wonderful and I would highly recommend her! Kind, professional, dependable, and great with our dogs. We have 2 golden retrievers, ~3 yrs and ~6 mos, and they took to Carolyn right away. She took them on terrific hour-long walks for the 3 days we needed, even toweling them down because of the rains. I will definitely reach out to Carolyn in the future when similar needs come up.”
About: I'm professionally trained to read dog behaviors and handle them safely, as a PetSmart salon associate. I grew up with dogs, and now I have a little cat. I love animals, and I hope to lend a helping hand to keep your pets cared for and happy! I work full-time and would love to offer my free time to help out with dog walks, check-ins to play or eat, or house sitting I care for my cat, Jasper who keeps me on my toes every day! He is full of curiosity and loved very much. At work, I care for dogs of all sizes and ages which has taught me so much about how to respond properly to a dog's energy.
About: I have worked at PlayTime Pet Resort, a pet boarding facility. Additionally, I have experience in pet sitting and walking for families in my neighborhood. I am a full time student while playing a collegiate sport. Nights during the weekday and all day on the weekends work best for my schedule. I have a cat and dog at home who I keep active by providing a stimulating environment. Using my experience in pet sitting and walking, I can ensure that I take great care of pets while cleaning up after them.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better first-time Rover experience! Ridgley was communicative, flexible, professional, and incredibly caring for my Pancho. I will absolutely be calling on Ridgley again for peace-of-mind dog care while I am away from my guy.”
About: I grew up with always having 4 big dogs in the house. Since I moved out of my parents house I have had Maverick my Golden Retriever. Prior to owning Maverick I was an EOD K9 Handler with a Belgian Malinois named Sonja nicknamed “The Maligator” with her super high energy. When I left that company I had to give her back so that’s when I adopted Maverick as a puppy. Growing up I would walk the neighborhood dogs as families went on vacation. I have experience with a variety of dogs and having Maverick in my apartment, he is very well trained so if your dog loves to play he will certainly play with your dog. He also has great social queues as well where if your dog is low energy and doesn’t want to play he respect that as well. I have worked professionally with an EOD K9 for 2 years and have experience handling 2-3 dogs at a given time with ease. Any wishes you have when I watch or walk your dog I will certainly follow as I would hope whoever watches my dog would respect my wishes as well. I spend most of my nights sitting on the couch watching Netflix or Philadelphia Sports with my dog and there’s always room for one more dog if you need a night or a few days for someone to watch them I currently work as a Sales Development Representative and work from home. I have two 2 hour call blocks a day and admin work in between. So that gives me plenty of time to take my dog and your dog on a walk! Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I take Maverick on multiple half mile walks throughout the day on the Schuylkill River Trail in Conshohocken. I am not the biggest fan of dog parks as I have seen many irresponsible dog owners bring dogs who probably shouldn’t be interacting with other dogs so that would never be an issue. If for whatever reason I am not at my apartment, I have my furbo camera that notifies me of anything and I can watch my dog at any time. I never leave my apartment for more than an hour or 2 anyways but I like having that for my peace of mind
“Nico has been great. Tessa is so happy when he comes to the door to get her, and she's tired when she gets home. That's always a good sign. He gives her the exercise she needs and he obviously knows and loves dogs. I highly recommend Nico.”
“Ryanne was the best! She was flexible, kind, and left such great detailed notes/pictures during each visit. We truly appreciated knowing our Buddy was being loved, walked and cared for so well during our 2 weeks away- thank you!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my whole life and trained my own dog to be very gentle and well-behaved when I was only 9 years old. I’m also very good at reading dogs’ body language, which helps me understand when they’re nervous, playful, excited, or need space so I can make them feel comfortable and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, especially during the summer since I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and care whenever they need it. I’ve had a dog my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and being around different dog personalities. In my client’s home, I would make sure their dog is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets taken outside or on walks, has playtime and attention, and feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I would also carefully follow any instructions the owner provides, including routines, medications, or special care needs.
“Colin is the only person I trust with my dog Jake. Jake is 98lb and doesn’t particularly care for other dogs. I really searched for someone who would be able to physically handle a large, strong dog. Colin immediately understood the need for Jake to get more “substantial” exercise. Colin walks, runs and plays with him for a solid hour every day and I can see a big difference in Jake. Colin is also just a really nice person, trustworthy and reliable. He really loves animals and it shows!”
“Natalia went out of her way to keep me informed about her walks with my pup. She also went above and beyond to make sure she knew as much as possible beforehand so they would start off on the right paw! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and have always loved being around animals. I currently have two dogs who live with my parents, and while I don’t have any pets in my current apartment, I regularly care for them whenever my parents are traveling. I am also the go-to person for my friends and family when they need someone they trust to watch their dogs while they are away. I have experience caring for dogs ranging from 6 months old to 14 years old and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks, playing outside, and visiting the dog park to help them stay happy and engaged. Since my own dogs don’t live with me right now, I would love the opportunity to give another pup plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while their owners are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I have just finished my first year of dental school, and I have off classes until September, so I’m free all summer and have plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. Outside of school, I am a very active person who enjoys going to the gym, spending time outdoors, and staying busy. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my routine because I love being active and would enjoy having a furry companion to take on walks, explore outside with, and give lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I am happy to work with different schedules and routines to make sure each pet receives the care and consistency they need while their owners are away. The safety and comfort of every dog I care for is my top priority. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would expect for my own home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also keeping them safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I am very active, so I love taking dogs on walks and providing opportunities for them to get outside and stay engaged. I have spent my entire life around dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and trust. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: After many years living (and dog sitting!) in NYC, I relocated to King of Prussia, PA. I now live with my two kids (ages 4 and 6) in a house with a fully fenced yard—plenty of safe space for pups to run, play, and relax. We don’t currently have pets of our own, so visiting dogs get lots of individual attention and love. My kids absolutely adore dogs and are gentle, respectful, and excited to help care for our furry guests. I’m a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for boxers and other large breeds. I previously had a boxer and also raised a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue, so I’m very comfortable with big, high-energy dogs. I believe in calm, confident handling—firm when needed, but always gentle and affectionate. Our home is kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and laid-back. I’m usually available on weekends, with occasional flexibility for Fridays or Mondays depending on my work schedule. Feel free to check out my reviews from NYC clients! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-in visits on weekdays after 6 p.m. Our home has a fenced yard for play and plenty of cozy space for relaxing. Your pup will get lots of love and attention from both me and my dog-loving kids! In my home, visiting dogs enjoy a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, regular walks, and plenty of cuddle time inside. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible—whether that means scheduled feedings, crate time, or medication. When doing walks or drop-ins at a client’s home, I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, giving them attention, exercise, and any specific care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home—whether they’re staying with us or I’m visiting them!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the fact that I will love and care for your dog as if it was my own. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years now, so I’m experienced with different types of dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. There’s a lot of times within the day where I will be able to stop by and check on your dog! I provide loving and reliable pet care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. I have a 12-year-old diabetic chocolate Lab who is not just our family dog, but my best friend, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets extra care and attention. Caring for a senior dog with medical needs has taught me responsibility and how important routines are. I’ve also dog sat for family and friends many times. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are getting plenty of care, attention, and love while they’re away. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust my day around their needs. In my home or your home, I understand that every pet is different. So I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, or special care needs. My main focus is making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible!
About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.

“We could not be happier with Ulku and Andrew! They watched our 11 month dog for a week- we were very nervous but their constant communication made us feel so much better! They sent us updates each morning and we could really tell our pup was having a great time! Would definitely recommend them and book again in the future!”
“Our dogs had a great holiday stay with Emilie! She took wonderful care of them, they were happy, safe and calm with her. I appreciated the frequent updates and photos as we really missed them while we were away. Emilie was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!”
“Rebecca went above and beyond through the entire process. It was my first time using Rover and she exceeded my expectations. She is SO sweet and Sydney enjoyed her vacation with her. I will definitely be scheduling with her again.”
“Jennifer was wonderful as always! We know Ruby is in great hands with her—she always has such a great time with Jennifer’s dogs and comes home happily exhausted from all the playtime!”
“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!!”
“Nicole took great care of our dog! Her children were so attentive of her, especially her daughter! Chisca seemed very comfortable and cared for, she loved their gated backyard. We definitely recommend booking with Nicole!”
“Jeffrey was great with our dogs! He took wonderful care of them. He provided regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would be happy to have Jeffrey watch our dogs again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Colin was able to watch our dog on very short notice, and was very responsive throughout Sully’s stay with him! It was great that Sully had some play mates and they got along great with each other.”
“5 stars in every way -- Angelica was super communicative and very clearly loves the dogs she watches. The next time we need dog boarding, Angelica is our first call!”
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 & happy whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Danielle was so sweet and accommodating! Super responsive to my messages and willing to work with my crazy timeline. My dog LOVES playing with other dogs so it was plus to have Danielle’s dog as a companion. We will definitely use Danielle again.”
