“Jim was great with our pups and treated them like family, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It was our first time boarding them outside of family and he was a great match! Re-entry was a breeze and our pups seemed happy as can be! Would highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Alyssa! Our two doggos, Ava and Peyton, are two very unique pitties. Ava is 10 and is a nervous Nel who just likes to cuddle up and relax. Peyton is almost 3 and more like a wreck it Ralph. As worried as I was that Peyton would destroy their home or that Ava would have a heart attack, they ended up loving their stay! Not only that, but I could tell that they got exactly what they needed from Alyssa and her family because when we got home, Ava and Pey were spent. Alyssa always remained in contact with me and answered all my questions and accommodated a last minute request. Thanks, Alyssa!!!”
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Megan and Vitaliy came to the rescue with a last minute request for dog sitting. Merry and Pippin had a great overnight stay. I highly recommend Megan and Vitaliy.”
“Jean and her husband took amazing care of our dog Bronco while we were on vacation for a week. Bronco was well taken care of and Jean sent many updates and pictures throughout the week that gave us peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Jean to any family or friends needing a pet sitter. We already have a second booking!”
“Maggie stayed with Betsy Saturday thru Monday. Once again Betsy has gone above and beyond with our Maggie (corgi). Apparently Maggie decided to act like a cat and at 3:00 AM she decided to start doing the zoomies and play with her toys. Betsy was okay with that!! Betsy is like having a grandparent for your dog. She likes to spoil them!! Which is great to have.”
“Our pups had another amazing stay with Dawn! She watched our two German Shepherds, one of them being only 6 months, and they came back so happy and tired! Dawn always puts any nerves I have at ease, she sends very detailed updates and photos and makes sure our dogs are safe, happy, and well exercised! We have used Dawn in the past and will continue to use her in the future! I truly feel like it’s a little vacation for our pups! Thank you Dawn!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“Sam and her husband were awesome! Our dog Winnie is usually very timid and slow to warm up to people. It was so comforting to know that she had such a good time there and got to play with some other puppy friends! We will definitely trust and use Sam again in the future!!”
“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
“Leaving our beloved Lucy with Dave gave me comfort and peace of mind as he was attentive and caring. Frequent pictures of our girl throughout her stay enable me to see that she looked happy and healthy. Thanks Dave!!”
“As a pet parent, there is no greater feeling than knowing your pet is being loved and cared for in your absence. I enjoyed my vacation so much more just knowing Sunny was getting lots of TLC from Kristin and Jeremy.”
“Had a great experience with Meagen watching our dog for a night. From the video she sent he appeared to settle in quickly and had a good time with the other dogs - there are lots of playmates! Meagan has a great, safe space for dogs to roam and play. When I picked him up he was happy and well-cared for. Would recommend and use Meagen again!”
“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you very much Dani and Anthony for taking such good care of my Angel. Could not have asked for better care. I truly believe she had a good time spending with you and of course Layla. She made a friend and another family. Thank you again.”
“Most wonderful sitter and the best overall experience- from initial contact to pickup. Excellent communication and obviously provided great care for my precious pup. Will book again soon.”

“Robin makes our trips so much more relaxing knowing she’s taking such great care of our cats. She sends great updates and pictures and is super responsive. Robin is the best!”
“Lisa was perfect and treated our cats so well during her drop ins. She was friendly and communicative during her drop ins and took lots of photos! We’d definitely invite her back to watch the cats again.”
“Jordan was awesome! We used her for drop in visits for our dog and she was very communicative, sweet with him, in tune with his needs and kept us up to date with notes and photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
“My first experience hiring Vu was fantastic! He did everything I asked at each check in and gave consistent updates. I run a business and get a lot of packages and he always brought them inside in addition to taking great care of my cats. I highly recommend & hope to re-hire! Thanks Vu.”
“Haley was so attentive and caring about my kittens and took wonderful care of them! She not only fed them carefully, but also spent focused play time together. I think my cats will miss her! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”
“Wonderful experience ! Denise responded within minutes to my last minute request for pet care. She came by the day after we chatted online for a meet and greet. She was going to try and make a same day meet and greet ! The meet and greet left me relieved ! I knew we found that someone who we can trust to care for our cat, Arya. Denise communicated in great detail with us at every visit which made our get away more enjoyable. We knew that Arya ate and went potty as normal etc .. Our cat is shy and hides when people visit. She doesn’t come out until they leave. It became apparent that shy Arya was comfortable with Denise. We got lots of pictures of her playing with multiple favorite toys and looking happy ! It was clear from the photos that Denise took the time to connect with Arya. Each picture made us more relaxed and sooo happy ! Last minute we decided to stay another day but we had to check with Denise and her schedule etc.. She didn’t hesitate when I asked her .. she added another day of visits so that we could stay the extra day. I later found out that it was her birthday weekend too ! One last note … Denise checked in with us to make sure that we made it home safely from our trip, no doubt certain that Arya wasn’t left without care and that we were safe. I will never use another care giver for our cat in the future and I will refer her to as many people as I can.”
“Casey was amazing. Came over to meet us before and meet the cats. She sent so many pictures and was very communicative during our week away. She has a way with animals. Even our super shy scared cat came out for play time and photo opportunities. We feel very safe leaving our fur babies with her. Will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Rachael was fantastic with our two kitties! She gave thorough updates and gave us so much peace of mind during our time away. Even our feisty and particular cat enjoyed her company! We deeply appreciate her attentiveness to detail and patience with our fuzzy babies. Thank you Rachael!!!”
“Erin was fantastic! She was a joy to work with. Friendly, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful. She went above and beyond to care for our older Ragdoll kitty, Lilly, making sure she felt loved and comfortable. We’ll absolutely book with Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter! T.”
“Lila was on time everyday, no issues whatsoever. Out of my 3 cats, one can be difficult to deal with because she’s scared of everything. From what I saw Lila was actually able to get close to her. Very satisfied with her services.”
About: I have been a cat owner for the last 10 years to my beautiful kitty Grace. Before that, and during this time, I've pet sit cats of all ages for family and friends. I'm always excited to meet a new kitty for a cuddle session or game of chase the laser pointer.
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“It means so much to me that I can go away and know that my two elderly cats with many medical needs are in good hands. Maria is so gentle and sweet with them and makes sure all of their needs are met and medications are given. I am so grateful for her!”

About: My animal-loving 17 year old daughter would love to play with your pet and take care of him/her. I will be helping her in every way. I've had dogs since I was a kid, so I know how to care for them. Currently we have two cats and a Chihuahua named Buddy. I work from home so your pet will not be alone for long periods of time and will have frequent bathroom breaks. I work flexible hours from home so I am always available and can take breaks to play with or walk your pet. My kids are eager to help. I have a backyard and live in a neighborhood with lots of places to walk with your dog. My own dog is not aggressive towards any pets.

“Luca really enjoyed his time with Megan & Vitaliy, judging from the numerous videos I received from Megan during his day! Thank you so much for dog-sitting Luca!”

“It was our first time using Rover, but Alyssa helped explain everything and made us feel comfortable. She was also flexible about changing the initial date. We really appreciated how well Jude and Maddie were taken care of for the day! They seemed to have a great day!”
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“Janette was incredibly accommodating with my last‑minute request. She was patient and understanding with my energetic Rain, even when Rain had two accidents in her home. When I picked Rain up, she was clearly comfortable with Janette, her wagging tail and happy little hop said it all. We will definitely be using Janette again.”
“So pleased with the care my shy pup received today from Cody. He was patient with her and kept me updated with messages and photos. I am super pleased and she will be back soon!”

“Dani and Anthony were awesome last minute! Super easy to work with and made everything really smooth. Finn seemed happy and relaxed while he was there. Definitely appreciated their help! 10/10 :)”
“Dakota's favorite day of the month is when she gets to go hang out at Spencer's house. His dogs have officially started being referred to as "the cousins ", and she loves spending time with them. I get peace of mind that she has loved and cared for no different than if she was laying at home with me”
“Angelita was so sweet with our pup and very communicative. It was an easy place to find and we are so grateful our Nilla got some play time in while we were busy exploring! We would definitely book again and highly recommend Angelita!”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”

She gave me a couple of updates during the walk and then a clear summary as to how she left. We definitely recommend her and will be happy to request Makayla again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m a mom of 1 with loads of experience working with all kinds of animals and I am a current AVA student. I was an intern for an animal shelter for 3 years, a dog groomer, and I’ve always had my own animals too. I’m comfortable with special needs animals and all shapes and sizes. I pet sit for several years too and understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust and depend on. I’m happy to provide more details on my experience! I've watched animals of all kinds for years, including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, fish & coral, reptiles and amphibians. I was a professional dog groomer and a shelter intern for 3 years, with lots of safety and behavioral training. I focus on safety when it comes to working with animals and take all precautions when greeting, interacting (or avoiding) other animals, and generally all areas. Second to safety, building trust and bonding with animals is something I value highly. I am typically available after 3:00pm during the week and I am flexible on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and excellent communication skills so parents should feel at ease when I take care of their pets. I always follow all requests and instructions from parents for their pets. I do not sit or board currently in our out of my home.
“Beth was amazing! She walked our dog every day for a week. She bonded with our dog, who is cautious and was hesitant to walk at first. Beth managed to get her to relax and go on nice walks every day.”
About: With 15 years of animal care, I know I can handle any assignment needed. I started dog sitting, long term, when I was 16 years old. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, whatever you need I’m here to do the job right. My schedule is fairly flexible, I drive school bus during the day to keep my little one with me. I wanted to supplement my income with doing what I love, spending time with animals. If the little one can not be around your pet I have short term child care when needed. If home visits are needed your home will always be left exactly as it is found. No matter the environment I am not here to judge. As long as you and your pet are happy all is well!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.
About: My family and I love animals and have toe dogs and two cats of our own. I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I’ve watched friends and neighbors pets at their homes and kept them at ours. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can walk during the day and before and after work as well. I am able to housesit too because I can work from anywhere. I have two friendly dogs and we have an underground electric fence. We can take them out on leashes or if comfortable with the electric fence we use that as well.
About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.

So grateful for Tina and her compassion to make my dogs stay be easy and stress free.”
