“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“We couldn't be happier with our first rover experience! M & V communicated with us throughout our two dogs three night stay and sent lots of photos and videos. A+ experience.. thanks for taking good care of our dogs.”
“This was our first time using DogVacay and Lorraine. We could not have been any happier with the entire experience. From start to finish everything went very smoothly, even a change in schedule. Lorraine was just the best. We felt Scooter was in very good hands and knew he would be well taken care of. We enjoyed getting the pictures and Scooter seemed really happy. I think she enjoyed him as well. She was caring and took really good care of him and we are very happy to have her on board when we need her again. Thanks!!!!”
“Muffy had a great experience staying with Meagan and family. Highly recommend Meagan and her services, would definitely revisit when looking for boarding and/or day care. Thank you Meagen for taking care of Muffy when we were out.”
“Lisa did a great job with our 1 year old lab Franklin, he was very happy there all day. Lisa sent us pictures of him playing. Would definitely use her services again!”
“We had such a great experience with Catherine! She was super responsive from the start and answered all our questions, which made us feel really comfortable booking with her. Chippy had the best time at her place. He got along so well with her dog and family. Catherine sent us regular updates and photos, and we came home to a happy, tired pup. She even went out of her way to drop off Chippy’s bed when we accidentally left it behind. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I would recommend Alyssa to everyone I know. I was away for 5 days and she kept me updated at all time about Douglas's stay. She even sent me pictures! Thank you Alyssa for treating my fur baby like one of your family members. ”
“Curtis took really good care of our dog while we were away. He was really excellent with updating us with pictures and how our dog was doing. Curtis made my dog feel comfortable and at ease. If i ever need a dog sitter, Curtis will be my first choice.”
“Alexa was amazing with our pup. She was super responsive and sent tons of pictures every day while we were gone. I highly recommend Alexa to anybody that needs a dog sitter that will treat your pups just as lovingly as you do.”
“Rita is truly one of the BEST caretakers we’ve ever had!! Our Chihuahua is usually a little shy at first but before we even pulled out of the driveway he was in Ritas arms ready for a weekend! Her house is all about caring for your pup & she sends pictures keeping you updated all weekend - 1000% recommend Rita!!”
“Lily is absolutely amazing. She treats our Charlie like family. She’s reasonable and listens to your questions and concerns. We absolutely love her! Thank you Lily for treating our Charlie as your own”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“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.”
“Mary was wonderful taking care of Grady. He had a great time running around in the backyard. Grady had some special needs and Mary did a great job giving him a 2nd home”
“My 1 year old cockapoo Lucy had the BEST week with Diego & Amelia’s family! She was well cared for & more, and she grew very attached to their loving family! Their son played with her all the time. Their two dogs got along well with her. We received daily photos of her looking right at home with everyone! Lucy was sad to say goodbye, she whined when we left! I will definitely be bringing her to stay with Diego & Amelia again! I highly recommend Diego & Amelia to welcome your dog into their family while you are away! Thank you so so very much!!! ?”

“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.”
“Steve is fantastic. He is very responsive, reliable, and goes out of his way to be helpful. His obvious love of dogs shines through, and our puppy clearly felt it, too. We have a fear-reactive young pup who up until now has not allowed anyone but family to pet her (including two dog trainers), so I was delighted (and relieved) that she felt comfortable enough with Steve to play with him and even allow him to pet her belly within the first visit. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“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!”
“Danielle was wonderful with Buddy! She stopped by a couple of times during the day to check on him, spent time playing with him, and even gave him some ice chips to help him cool down in the heat. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Buddy!”
“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
About: I’m comfortable feeding, medicating, and loving on your cats like they’re my mine. I’ve had my share of special needs cats and am glad provide injections and fluids if needed. I’m also a fan of dogs and glad to give them great care, but I’m a cat lady at heart.
“We love Chelsea! She always sends adorable photos and is so detailed on how her visit went. It is so nice to not worry about your fur baby when you are away from home. Chelsea is the best!”
“Maria was terrific! She did everything we'd talked about and sent lots of pictures every day. We were very comfortable knowing she was being so attentive to our two kitties. She even went the extra mile to ask where our vacuume was so she could clean up the tracking around the litter boxes!”
“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.”
“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”
“Rachel did a great job with my two cats who are indoor-outdoor cats. They are both very skittish around people other than my husband and me. She managed to coax one in and give him meds and food. The other did not show up but that was expected and she left food for him as instructed. She did great under very trying circumstances!”
“Kailyn is amazing!! We left our kitties in her care for 9 days, and she took the best care of them! She was very professional and communicated extremely well! There was a snow storm when we were away, and she was great at keeping us updated on road closures and travel difficulties! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their cats or dogs taken care of! We plan on using her services in the future! Our kitties will miss seeing her daily!”
“Casey takes awesome care of our furry babies!! She makes sure our kitties’ needs are met, follows all instructions, and always brings the fun with extra enrichment activities and toys. They love it and we love that they are so well-adjusted and calm when we come home. Thanks!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Icedale
“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!”
“No words to say how wonderful and easygoing Megan and Vitaliy were. Edison felt right at home immediately and I had no worries. They gave him plenty of space to play and explore. I don’t think Edison cared if I would have ever come back to get him. Can’t recommend them enough ❤️❤️”
“Beth is a very kind hearted person and Benny really loves her. I don’t think Benny missed us while Benny was with her. I will leave my dog anytime with her and plus she is very close to us.”

About: Hi, I’m Adina, owner of Playful Paws Pet Sitting. I offer thoughtful, high-quality care for dogs and cats in a calm, home-style environment. I specialize in one-on-one attention, consistent routines, and low-stress care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced, insured, and deeply detail-oriented — from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I intentionally limit bookings so every pet receives unrushed, individualized care. My clients are often busy professionals who want complete peace of mind while they’re away. I provide clear communication, photo updates, and the kind of dependable care I’d expect for my own pets. Your home and your pet will always be treated with respect, warmth, and discretion. If your pet stays with me, I offer an executive home on a large one acre flat lot and access to nearby trails. For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect.

My clients are mostly long term and like family and I develop lasting relationships with your pets! This is my full time job and so I am available to you and your pets.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been dog walking and pet-sitting since 12 years old and have always had interest in caring for animals. As an adult, I have been employed at SPCA working with dogs and cats of all sizes and status, and currently work as a veterinary receptionist. I love and care for every animal that comes into my care, and would be thrilled to meet your pets! I am available for dog-walking and drop-ins throughout the week with all-day availability Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I do not currently offer in-home day care or overnight sits. I would want to keep your pets as comfortable as possible in their own space, providing them with love and care and guiding them through their daily schedules.
About: I attended the Technical College High School Brandywine Campus. There I attended the Veterinary Science class for 4 years. I did job shadowing at a veterinary clinic for 8 hours which was such a great experience . I am comfortable with different breeds and sizes. I have the knowledge on certain breeds. My classroom had a program called Doggy Daycare where we made sure the dogs had their walks, bathroom breaks and playtime as well as have them properly fed while their parents were away. I know basic grooming techniques like for example: nail clipping, coat brushing, ear cleaning and teeth cleaning. I am also comfortable with administering vaccines and oral medication. I’m familiar with tick and flea medications. I am able to work with dogs that have special diets. My main job is to make sure your dog(s) are well taken care of and to let the owner know that they don’t have to worry about your dog(s) while being away from them. I currently have spare time to care for your pet. Let me know what could work for you and your schedule. If you have any questions, please reach out! Thank you. I have a 3 year old female. I don’t have a fenced yard but am able to take fun trips to the nearest trail and park!

Thank you, Enrica!”
