Personalized care for your dog or cat - Durlach
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Durlach
“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”
“I chose Deb as my sitter the first time I used Rover and I will choose her again. If I have to leave him with someone again. She was fantastic with Levi. I much preferred the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, get to know the person that is willing to care of my sweet Levi, like I do. She sent me pictures & up dates each day, they played outside every day, he slept in her bed. We go camping and Levi always goes with, but this time we went to an AirBNB (No dogs aloud) his first time away from us, and he did fine.”
“Charissa and Shawn took great care of our two dogs! We had a meet and greet before dropping them off and both dogs were very comfortable. Charissa made sure to ask all the important questions that she would need to know about our dogs, so that she’d be well prepared. We will absolutely be booking them again the next time we go on vacation!”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“Tanya and David were the best dog sitters they treated whiskey and Tequila as their own making sure they were comfortable every minute of this day they had a very extended period of one month and they sent me pictures and videos to assure me that they were being taken care of which they were and the best method that is possible they were very well taken care of I would recommend Tanya and David a thousand times over they have a very nice backyard with tequila and whiskey were able to run and enjoy time outside I highly recommend Tonya and David for dog sitting service. 10 star service.”
“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”
“Amy and Patrick were so sweet and awesome to my 8-week old puppy, Lila, while I was away. They took excellent care of her. Amy and Patrick are friendly, responsible, and pet-loving good people. I highly recommend them for pet sitting, walking your dog, etc. I will certainly use their services again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!
About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Kaylee was great with communication. Ans before Cooper's stay, she allowed us to have a meet and greet. During our travel she sent photos of our little guy that showed he was getting lots of attention. We will use her care again.”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”

“Jennifer was excellent! She gave great updates, sent daily pictures, and took great care of my cats. She even went the extra mile and put away the food delivery that I forgot to pause for the week before we went away. I would definitely have her take care of my kitties again!”
“Carissa was so mindful and caring with my kitties, and was so gentle with giving my 20yo kitty her meds. She even took out my trash when I forgot, and sent lots of pictures every day I was away. Absolutely will be booking again, thank you so much!! 💙”
“Kathy was great with our 3 cats! She was super flexible when we needed an extra visit added because our trip changed timing. We came back from our long weekend away and the cats were content and safe. Thanks so much!!!”
“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”
About: From childhood, cats have been my favorite animals! I have pet set many cats over the years for friends and family to neighbors and coworkers.

I’ve had cats for years which has open my experience to nursing them back to health.
“Blayze was very accommodating and professional. She took care of both of our pups above and beyond expectations, and our one dog is a bit of a trouble maker. If you need a reliable dog sitter don’t hesitate to contact Blayze, 10/10 would recommend.”
About: If your looking for reliable caring and attentive check ins on your furry friend while your away, look no further!

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life. I had 2 golden retrievers as a child and have had 3 cats throughout my life. My rescue cat Frisky was with me for 23 years! I have informally done dog sitting and cat sitting for most of my life. I have pet sat animals with all types of temperaments. I believe there are no bad dogs or cats. I love to train animals for fun but I don’t have any formal education. I am a Nurse by trade and I have learned in the healthcare setting how healing both dogs and cats can be. I work a normal 9-5 Monday- Friday job but I am happy to stop by after work to watch, feed, and spend time with animals and am especially interested in pet sitting on the weekends! I want to know ahead of time about your pet. What is their temperament like? Are they okay with new people? Are they treat motivated? What is their typical routine? Things like that. I want your pet to feel the most comfortable they can with their owners not being there. If your pet loves snuggles, I am more than happy to oblige. If they like walks or toys, I’m your girl! Whatever it is, I want to know what you feel is best for your pet!

About: For my senior year of high school I went to a trade school to get my vet assistant certification. I graduated and received my certificate. In the program I was taught basic grooming nails, ears, and even shaving. Everyday we would walk the classroom dogs and interact with them. After high school I worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months before I ended up without a car and wasn’t able to drive the distance to work anymore. Looking for something to do on the side as I work a full time job but never wanted to give up working with animals as it’s my passion. I have a almost year old Pitsky puppy (pitbull/husky) named Dior. He is my such a sweetheart and loves to be around other dogs as well. Over the years I have watched my coworkers dogs, my uncles dog when he got fixed and had to wear a cone during the day so my uncle wasn’t able to watch him since he had to work, etc. I can’t wait to meet and interact with your furry friends and give them a special place in my heart as well💕 I work full time during the week but I always have evenings available to drop ins or walks. Days I am fully available would be Sunday and occasional Mondays as I now babysit as well. Weekends vary but I’m willing to be flexible. I have a nice area that I walk my dog to, to go to the bathroom and there’s also a development I walk through on nicer days, I have an extra bedroom for a crate if your dog needs to bring theirs

Perfect for high energy dogs - Durlach
“The best dog sitter on earth. My dog Milo does doggy daycare with her. She is very communicative, friendly, adaptable, and kind. She and her dog Jayde brought so much joy to Milo’s life. They had lots of fun together. Would recommend her to everyone I know.”
About: We’re an empty nest couple with no children or other pets in the home. We recently lost our beloved dog and while we’re enjoying the freedom of not having a pet, we still love caring for furry friends! Our home has a fully fenced yard and we’re ready to provide a safe, loving environment for your dog while you’re away! We own a business and operate out of our home so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention, feedings and potty breaks throughout the day. We provide attentive, loving care for your pet. Dogs are let out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air. Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.
“Angelita was so welcoming and flexible! You can tell she loves what she does. Cora seemed to have had such a good time that she slept all day and that’s rare with her puppy energy.”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!

If your animals are staying in our home, they’ll have access to a spacious yard where dogs can play and run freely. We also have a small dog and a cat who are well-socialized and have done well with other animals during previous stays. However, if any pets need to be separated for comfort or safety, our home is set up to accommodate that easily and without stress. Our main services include boards and drop ins. We also offer house sitting services; however, please note that we are not available for overnight stays at this time. We have a large, open yard where dogs can play and get plenty of exercise, as well as a designated playpen area in our basement for indoor fun and safety. If we’re caring for your pets in your home, we’re happy to follow any specific guidelines or routines you provide to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care.

We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”

I have a 4.5’ aluminum fenced in backyard with a 2 foot puppy fencing along the whole interior to ensure the utmost safety and keep your mind at ease. I have a very safe neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your pet. The neighborhood is also adjacent to our district school with a 2 mile walking path for all community members to use! I use this often to give both our dog and my children the ability to release energy in a safe space!

About: I potty trained my dog. I can get dogs at ease and occupy them well. I'd say i'm better with younger dogs but I can take care of older dogs as well. I work part time but I wake up at 7am and let Max out. I then feed him and occupy him for a bit until I have to leave for 4 hours and let him out before leaving. When I Get back I take him for his walk and then give him his nightly bone. Before going to bed I let him out again. I have a huge yard so he can run around, not fenced but he is trained to stay in the area. He has toys everywhere and he's allowed to lay in furniture so he sleeps a lot as well. In client houses I'd do whatever they are comfortable with. I can go outside, stay inside, walk or run with them just let me know !

I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
“Thank you Abby! I appreciate the love you gave brew and really appreciate all the pictures you sent us! Abby was very accommodating and respectful! She got our dog out of her crate while we weren't home and put her back in and locked up our apartment. Thank you!”
“Cassidy is awesome! I could tell from the daily photos and reports that my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. It gave me peace of mind while I was a while to know my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.

“Betsy and Ron provide a perfect home away from home for our Coco! They are keenly sensitive to individual pup’s personalities and needs. She even cleaned off a windowsill for Coco because looking outside is her favorite pastime. Taking only one at a time, they give your dog all the attention. Another huge plus to me—their house is spotlessly clean. 5 stars is not quite enough!”
“Anna was the perfect match for our dog. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Anna communicated throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with pictures. Our pup was loved and cared for as if she was part of Anna’s family. We are so thankful for Anna and would recommend for others.”
“This was my first time leaving Micah with someone. It was great. Micah left with Angelita as if she'd known him forever. I really liked that. Angelita now has another client! Thanks, Angelita.”
“Charissa and Shawn took great care of our two dogs! We had a meet and greet before dropping them off and both dogs were very comfortable. Charissa made sure to ask all the important questions that she would need to know about our dogs, so that she’d be well prepared. We will absolutely be booking them again the next time we go on vacation!”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Tanya and David were the best dog sitters they treated whiskey and Tequila as their own making sure they were comfortable every minute of this day they had a very extended period of one month and they sent me pictures and videos to assure me that they were being taken care of which they were and the best method that is possible they were very well taken care of I would recommend Tanya and David a thousand times over they have a very nice backyard with tequila and whiskey were able to run and enjoy time outside I highly recommend Tonya and David for dog sitting service. 10 star service.”
“Amanda and her family did an excellent job caring for Aspen while we were away for the holiday. Our dog is usually fairly anxious when we have to leave her and stressed out when we return. This time she did so much better. She was happier and more relaxed. Amanda also provided pictures of our pup daily and Aspen really seemed to love spending time with Amanda and her family. If we need to board her again we will definitely use Amanda.”
“Amy and Patrick were so sweet and awesome to my 8-week old puppy, Lila, while I was away. They took excellent care of her. Amy and Patrick are friendly, responsible, and pet-loving good people. I highly recommend them for pet sitting, walking your dog, etc. I will certainly use their services again!”
About: I grew up around dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need to be happy and healthy. I have a passion for the outdoors and enjoy everything from casual neighborhood walks to longer adventures. When caring for your dog, I’ll treat them like one of my own—providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to provide dog walking services in the evenings and on weekends. Most weekends I am available, especially with a little advance notice to plan ahead. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits both their needs and mine. Growing up with dogs and having a love for the outdoors, I enjoy spending time walking and caring for pets, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and spent years caring for them, I understand their body language and can recognize when they’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply need a break. I will treat your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs—so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Kaylee was great with communication. Ans before Cooper's stay, she allowed us to have a meet and greet. During our travel she sent photos of our little guy that showed he was getting lots of attention. We will use her care again.”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“I booked a very last minute week of overnight boarding for my 6 month old puppy Puck. D and B were both great and clearly well versed in puppy training issues. Nice family home. Puck even got to sleep with their 11 child every night! They sent photos daily with updates and accommodated my schedule changing for his drop off and pickup. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”

“Amber was great with Kipper! Great communicator, very attentive and welcoming. Her home is set up wonderfully for any pet and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there overnight. She was awesome!”
