“Brian was an awesome host for our two dogs. He was very communicative and shared pictures throughout the weekend. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dogs with Brian again in the future!”
“Emily and Christine were great with Sherlock. They sent me photos of him playing with their dog, sleeping in their daughter’s room, going on walks, and generally having a blast. I’ve already booked them to take care of him again in a few weeks for an upcoming trip.”
“My dogs loved staying with Juliana when I was away for over a week!! She was communicative throughout and kept me updated with photos/status updates. She is so nice and provided so much care and attention to them. I would 100% recommend using Juliana for dog care!”
“Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!”
“George has helped us out twice with our dog when we were out of town and we’ve been very appreciative of his flexibility, friendliness, and most of all taking good care of our furbaby. So thankful for reliable sitters like George in the neighborhood that we can”
“I boarded with Aaron for the first time and certainly this may not be th last time as Aaron was very professional and polite. We did a meet and greet and he ensured he has all the relevant information he would need to take care of my Daisy well. I was provided regular updates, pics and videos for Daisy while I was away and it sure was a good experience for Daisy to get a pup cup and enjoy it! There is good play space for the dogs in the fenced backyard also! I would highly recommend Aaron for his boarding services. Thanks!”
“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!!!”
“Ginger was amazing! She really helped us out in a last minute situation and took great care of our dog. She sent photo updates which I really appreciated. We don't leave/travel too often, and the photos just showed us how happy our dog was staying with Ginger. She was comfy and clearly made some friends and enjoyed getting lots of attention! We plan to use Ginger again when we travel in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a private sitter over a kennel.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“We've been entrusting Kate to watch our needy, senior pup for the past couple of years, and there is no one we trust more. She provides regular photos and updates, and she is firm and proactive with dogs who need a little extra structure and support. Belle loves going to "camp" with Kate while we're on vacation!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Nyla. Nyla came home happy, healthy, and tired out from all the fun! We will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Andres is great! My large dog is high energy and can be a handful at times, but always loves his stay. I really appreciate the photos I receive if my dog having fun at Andres’ place, and how mellow my dog is after being boarded with Andres!”
“Like anyone else I was a bit nervous leaving my dog at someone else's home for the first time. When I met Christine I felt very comfortable. She kept us well informed about our dog all weekend and sent us several pictures which made us feel even better. Our dog seemed to have been very happy staying there. I would definitely use Christine again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Great place for dogs to spend the night. Laura knows a lot about dogs and follow all the instructions for my dog. We will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Juliana was amazing with my 5mth old mini doxie puppy. Every thing is new to him, and I was nervous about leaving him for the wkd. She has the perfect home & yard and made him so comfortable, that I picked up a calm and happy puppy. I will absolutely take him back to stay with her.”
About: Hello! Dogs and cats have been part of my life since I was a child. My Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever, Marley, was the love of my life! As others have said, animals make a house a home. I hope you and your dog will consider mine a home-away-from-home. My home consists of a family of three (myself, my high school-aged son, and our kitty). I work from home so your dog will enjoy a lot of love and attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard and there are also parks, nearby, if walks are requested. I would consider taking more than one dog if the dogs are comfortable with one another and my cat, Moby. Moby is 6 years old and he has a catio and a finished basement to retreat to so each fur babe can have time apart. Please reach out if you have questions. I work from home so I can provide company and comfort to your pup throughout the day. I have occasional, local errands. My best times are early mornings and evenings for walks or extended play. I have a large fenced yard for fun exploration and sniffing. If your fur babe prefers their crate or bed when they're away from home, please bring it along. They can also snooze on the couch or in bed with me. I have a one-story home and your dog will have access to every room on the main floor. The finished basement will remain a cat-only space. When we meet, I'll ask you to share favorite activities that help your dog feel happy and comfortable.
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“I was booking last minute, so we weren't able to do a meet & greet, but Margaret was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent an update with pictures. So gald she was able to drop in and I would definitely reach out next time I need a sitter”
“Alyssa took great care of our cat while we were on vacation! She came everyday and gave him food/water, cleaned the litter, and played with him. When we got home, he was happy and calm. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Nicole was easy to work with and very accommodating after my lack of planning left us without care for our cat at the end of our 2 week vacation. She worked around my schedule to come meet before we left and gave updates while she was with our Dory.”
“Rebecca is making it easy for us to get away! She is reliable, kind, very good with animals and loves all fur babies! She is an experienced pet sitter and a great communicator. Your home and your pets will be in excellent care while you’re away.”
“Matt was awesome! Very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us out during a heatwave to make sure our Luna was safe. Highly recommend booking with Matt!”
About: I grew up in a household with many animals and have always loved walking our dogs and taking care of the cats and other animal friends. I would love to care for your pets and give them a special moment in their day and help you remove one thing off the to-do list. Our lives get very busy and for pet-owners, having an extra hand here and there can be very beneficial. As a college student, I am using Rover to help with finances during the semesters. Mixing physical exercise with hanging out with your pet for some time sounds like the perfect activity for me! I hope to be able to assist you with your pet needs. Best, Sieira
“Angela is a very thoughtful and attentive caretaker for cat drop ins! We were so fortunate to have her care for our two cats for a week over the holidays and she made sure they felt the love, and we were at ease being away for an extended period of time knowing that she was caring for them.”
“Catherine was very professional. We hired her to do a drop in visit for our cat while we were away. She listened to our needs and followed instructions closely. We were very satisfied and would not hesitate to book her again.”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter than Margo! She was so wonderful with my senior cat. She went above and beyond, cleaning up her after her and even taking out her litter bags to the trash. I will definitely hire Margo again whenever I need someone I trust to take care of my girl.”
“Leanne took care of our 2 sometimes hostile cats while we were away. She was very consistent with her timing. She sent lots of great pics. I’m almost positive one of the cats would consider her a friend at this point lol. She went above and beyond everyday and I would definitely rehire her.”
“Nicole did such a good job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. He is very guarded and doesn’t like meeting new people. She took the time to gain his trust and by the end of the booking he was all over her. We will definitely have her sit for us again in the future.”
“It was hard having to leave our puppy Tucker (3months old when Chris first met him) with a stranger, but Chris has been amazing with him, giving us peace of mind knowing that he is in good hands. Very reliable and trutworthy, Chris has always honored the appointments we've made (visiting him twice a day) and followed the instructions we've left him. Tucker is relaxed and happy when we get home and we have to thank him for that. ”
About: PLEASE NOTE: that I am only accepting overnight requests in non-smoking homes at this time. Due to medical issue, I am unable to endure the lingering smell for long periods of time. I absolutely adore dogs and animals in general. I grew up around dogs and definitely know how to handle them. I have a good amount of energy to run around with your pup and take them for a decent walk or run around in the back yard. I can help with basic training as well. I love any type of dog, cuddly ones, crazy ones and all of the ones in between. As I said in the beginning, I love any animals, so if you need me to help out with any other pets while you're away, I'm your one stop shop! I am currently working full time but I am able to walk your dog after I am home from work during weekdays. I am also available on weekends for house sitting, walks, and drop in visits. I have pets of my own and know cats can be skittish. That being said, I am careful to watch the door whenever I go in and out of a home.
“Kieralyn did an incredible job taking care of our four cats for a week during the nights. One of them needed medical attention, and she handled it wonderfully. She made sure they always had enough food and water, thoroughly cleaned the litter boxes, and gave our cat the necessary insulin shots. She took such great care of them that we believe our cats will miss her! We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Lorrie was so kind . I had her come and meet us for the first time, as we search for dog sitters. Lorrie got on the floor and just sat and pet Cali as we talked; Cali took right to her :) I will definitely be calling on Lorrie for her drop-in services.”
About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”

“Jason is amazing! Our pup Lucy is very shy around both people and dogs and Jason has provided the perfect combination of comfort and fun for her to come out of her shell more. His dog Ava is playful, sweet and well trained. Jason communicates well and sends pictures/videos throughout the day. Highly recommend Jason! Your dog will be happy and well cared for.”
“Juliana was so sweet and out meet and greet ahead of time was fabulous! Our Puppy got along so well with her pups and one other she was watching. Paulie is still sleeping off all the sun and activity he had yesterday!!”
“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
About: Hello ~ I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time with all my pup friends. I am happy to offer dog boarding at my home. Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet(s) will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs every day at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard.
“Dante was Great. This was Bubba's first time being babysat by someone that him and I didn't know. Dante kept me updated on Bubba's progress throughout the day which gave me relief because I was just as nervous as Bub. He's very pleasant, excellent in communication, and l can tell that he genuinely love dogs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love dog walking and treat my pets like they’re part of my family.

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our pup, Leo. I have been searching for a dog sitter ( daycare) for long time and met with many people but there was no connection between us and very little communication which is very important for me when it comes to my baby🐶💙 She and her husband took Leo in like a family member , her dogs became his friends right away and they were a pack in no time. I also received lots of pictures and videos while Leo was there which I appreciated very much! We will definitely be using Rachel again !! Thank you so much 🥰”
About: Hello! Meet a terrier trapped in a human body. I am an absolute lover of all dogs from the cutest little teacup to the biggest mastiff. I have always had a dog throughout my adult life. My past dogs have been adopted as puppies and as adult rescues, each of which requires a unique set of skills and responsiveness. You can trust that whether you have an energetic bundle of playfullness or a reserved, quiet couch buddy, they will receive an abundance of love and care from me. I match animals where they are and respond to what they need from me. Over my lifetime, I have cared for all kinds of animals, from cats, dogs, birds, fish and backyard chickens, to more exotic animals like chameleons, red-eared slider turtles, guinea pigs and other rodents, and even sheep, goats, and horses. I am currently a pet parent to two foster cats turned adopted felines, two guinea pigs, and two turtles. Being around animals brings me a deep sense of joy, peace, and fulfillment, and it is my utmost goal to return that same feeling to the animals in my life. I work part-time from home in Swarthmore, PA. As an animal lover who just can't get enough, I want to add pet-stting and dog-walking to my schedule to fill that well of animal love I already have. In rare instances, I will not be able to accept same-day requests, but otherwise, I should be able to meet your needs. Currently, I am taking drop in or occasional visits only. I am unable to add weekly walks or visits, but I can definitely fill in while you find the right sitter or help when your regular sitter is unavailable. As the owner of many types of animals with many different needs, I understand that caring for your pet in exactly the way you ask me to is of utmost importance. I will enter you home, approach your animal/s, provide care, and exit in the exact way you ask me to. As someone who has had many pet-sitters over my adulthood, I know how important it is to trust that your pet-sitter is doing exactly what you've asked them to do. You will not have to worry with me. Knowing that you can relax and enjoy your day or your vacation brings me joy because this is exactly what I want when I leave my pets in another's care.
About: I had dogs my whole life, right now I have a four year old pup who is my little side kick. I’am a life long pet lover and will treat your dog just like mine!

About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs, and am a current volunteer for multiple animal rescues. My joy is taking care of animals and making sure they are enjoying life to the fullest! My goal is to keep your animals happy while you need to be away, and providing you trust and reassurance your pet is in great hands. I work remotely from home which is a plus in providing 24/7 care. My schedule is flexible for dog boarding overnight, daytime walks and potty breaks, cat check ins, & feedings. For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable at my home, please feel free to send any additional items along (blankets, toys, dog bed, etc) I guarantee the safety of your pet, in your home or mine. I ensure your pet is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal and welcome any details you’d like to share to let me know your pet better!
About: I’ve had rescue dogs since I was a child. I get a lot of joy out of fostering dogs and helping them find their furever home. I also grew up with cats and love a sassy attitude. Looking to soak up some good pet energy this summer! I’m not working this summer, so I’m home all day and ready to entertain your pet. I love taking walks so your dog will get at least two walks per day. I spend a lot of time in the pool, so your pet can enjoy the yard as much as they want. Enrichment toys, watching birds and squirrels, naps in the sun, the occasional pup cup, games of fetch, and zoomies galore. I have a big, fenced in yard. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s what they prefer. Willing to accommodate. Will reward with Puperoni!

Sundays I am available anytime requested in the morning until 5pm! I always ensure the pet is comfortable on walks, offering plenty of sniff breaks and giving them lots of water afterwards. For drop ins, I would love to hang out with your pet and allow for some fun socialization when they need it! I always do a temperature check on what the pet is feeling before taking action, as every animal is different and has various needs.

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”

“George has helped us out twice with our dog when we were out of town and we’ve been very appreciative of his flexibility, friendliness, and most of all taking good care of our furbaby. So thankful for reliable sitters like George in the neighborhood that we can”
“I boarded with Aaron for the first time and certainly this may not be th last time as Aaron was very professional and polite. We did a meet and greet and he ensured he has all the relevant information he would need to take care of my Daisy well. I was provided regular updates, pics and videos for Daisy while I was away and it sure was a good experience for Daisy to get a pup cup and enjoy it! There is good play space for the dogs in the fenced backyard also! I would highly recommend Aaron for his boarding services. Thanks!”
“Ginger was amazing! She really helped us out in a last minute situation and took great care of our dog. She sent photo updates which I really appreciated. We don't leave/travel too often, and the photos just showed us how happy our dog was staying with Ginger. She was comfy and clearly made some friends and enjoyed getting lots of attention! We plan to use Ginger again when we travel in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a private sitter over a kennel.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“We've been entrusting Kate to watch our needy, senior pup for the past couple of years, and there is no one we trust more. She provides regular photos and updates, and she is firm and proactive with dogs who need a little extra structure and support. Belle loves going to "camp" with Kate while we're on vacation!”
“Andres is great! My large dog is high energy and can be a handful at times, but always loves his stay. I really appreciate the photos I receive if my dog having fun at Andres’ place, and how mellow my dog is after being boarded with Andres!”
“Great place for dogs to spend the night. Laura knows a lot about dogs and follow all the instructions for my dog. We will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Juliana was amazing with my 5mth old mini doxie puppy. Every thing is new to him, and I was nervous about leaving him for the wkd. She has the perfect home & yard and made him so comfortable, that I picked up a calm and happy puppy. I will absolutely take him back to stay with her.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“We had the absolute best experience with Sarah and her family. They immediately took Alfie in like one of their own and he was in heaven. Not only was she incredibly organized, but every message she sent was so spot on and on time. We trust our little frenchie here every and any time! I would recommend Sarah and her family to any family with a pup. They are the best! Thank you all so much for providing Alfie with such an awesome first experience.”
About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.
“Ben has been a fantastic overnight sitter for my golden retriever. My dog stays at his house, where he also has two friendly dogs that get along great with mine. Ben sends regular updates and photos—usually of the dogs out on walks or my dog happily getting belly rubs—which I really appreciate. He also has a great fenced-in backyard where the dogs can safely play. The best sign of all was that my dog was genuinely excited to see Ben again on a repeat visit. I’ll definitely continue using Ben in the future and highly recommend him. 🐾”
“Casey was absolutely amazing with Mila while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon! 🤍 I have genuinely never felt so stress-free leaving her with someone. Casey took such perfect care of her and sent the cutest picture updates that made being away so much easier. I could tell Mila was so loved and well taken care of the entire time. I will absolutely be using Casey every time we need a sitter from now on. Couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾🤍✨”
“Matt is so attentive and does a great job taking care of our pup (who has cancer and special needs). Matt goes above and beyond making our pup feel comfy and judging from our pups disposition after we pick him up, he has a great time with Matt. No signs of stress and separation anxiety. We are grateful for Matt’s help with our pup!”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“It’s our third visit and every time, Michell has been so accommodating. He takes great care of our senior dog and communicates really well when we have changed the plan. Thanks so much for taking great care of Watson!”
