“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Yuiko is wonderful! She's got a big yard, which Eddie loved! And she's got other dogs that Eddie loved playing with. We were bummed to have a vacation without Eddie but Eddie also had his fun vacation at Yuiko's! We are super thankful!”
“Another great stay with Leo’s mom and dad Ulku and Andrew. Not only are they awesome sitters but they coordinate your dog’s stay with other well matched playmates! BEST experience!!!”
“Aimee was absolutely amazing and is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve met so far! She took care of our dog for ten days, and from the very beginning, we knew our pup was in great hands. 😁 She has such a warm, caring personality, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave our dog. Throughout the entire stay, she sent frequent updates with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was wonderful to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was every day. 😌 We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Aimee went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to caring for their pets. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! ☺️”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“Rachel was fantastic! Bean, who can be a little nervous at first, warmed up to her immediately. Rachel was very communicative and send lots of photos - it looked like they had a great weekend! Will definitely use her again!”
“David is a tentative and passionate animal caretaker. His home provides a safe haven for your pet. I will be certain to seek his service in the near future. Jacqueline”
“Rhea did an amazing job taking care of Tommy and providing me updates throughout his stay. He was extremely happy from what I can tell, and seemed to enjoy his time with Rhea. Thanks again!!!”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“Rebecca took great care of Lula and kept us updated daily with photos and information. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We really appreciate her experience and if she would have Lula back we would love to call upon her again.”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Allison and the girls took such great care of Cookie! As first time Rover users, Allison was patient with my husband and provided regular check-ins, updates and pictures! It was clear Cookie had a nice time and was much less stressed than when we typically board her. We look forward to booking again with Allison and Kevin in the future!”
“This was an amazing stay for our boy! They sent so many photo updates we could really enjoy our trip knowing our pup was well cared for! Would love to use this family to watch our dog again❤️”
“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.”
“Craig was great with our 10-yr lab/spaniel mix. I could tell she had a wonderful long weekend with Craig and his lab. She was walked and spoiled. I feel fortunate we found Craig. We love our dog AND we know she can be high maintenance.”
“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”
“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!!! ?”
“I was looking for a place to board my brother's dog for a few days while he was in the hospital. Thalita responded to my request quickly and was very friendly. She and her family welcomed Baby and were wonderful throughout the whole process. If you have the need for a caring person to watch your dog, I could not recommend Thalita more. You would be happy that you did.”

She was super attentive and overall an amazing sitter! Would defintely recommend and I hope to use her again in the future!”
“Ashley was AMAZING! She followed all of my directions to a tee and left everything spotless. I especially appreciated the detailed updates after each check-in and the adorable photos.

Daphne was prompt on her arrival times and all was in order with the house. We would definitely have Daphne care for Rosie again.”
“Joana was wonderful! One of my cats needs medicine twice a day in a specific timeframe and she was prompt and very trustworthy. They were obviously well cared for when I got home. Will definitely book Joana for my next vacation!”

About: Ive had been taken care of my past dogs and current dog for almost my entire life. I also take full care of my cat. I work with cats twice a week at a rescue shelter, and I did a short period working a doggy daycare facility. I can work full time during week, during the afternoons. I will be working at my job in the morning but will be fully free in the afternoons. Weekends may vary depending when I get a request. I make sure the pet gets enough play time outside, by either walking or playing with the pet. Make sure that the environment isn’t too loud or overstimulating, especially if there is more than one animal in the house.
“Mey is the absolute best. So patient and kind with our guy, and very thoughtful and professional with us. You can sense the compassion and mutual respect, and we have loved every minute of having her drop in. Thank you so!”
“Talia was great. She took great care of our cat Tuli and updated us to every day with cute photos of him. It gave us peace of my bd while we were away. Tuli loved her right away and love it ked great when we came back”
About: We had a family cat when I was in my earlier teens that I primarily cared for, and have cat-sat for my family friends for years. I will say, most of my experience is mainly feeding and filling water and just hanging out with cats, but if you have any special requirements feel free to tell me about them, and I'll let you know if it's something I would be capable of doing for you!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and hands on experience with both dogs and cats. As a pet parent to one dog and three cats, some with health issues, I’ve learned how to give medication, manage special diets, and provide calm, attentive care. I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so thank you for trusting me to be there for them and give them the love and comfort they need while you’re gone! I am available Monday through Friday 9am to 5 pm anytime. If other days are needed don’t he’s to ask as I might have availability on the weekends as well! I live on the end of a cul-de-sac with no main road so I am able to allow your fur babies to run around in my backyard without any danger

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ithan
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
About: I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of pets! I’ve worked with trainers for reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and I also care for a senior cat with complex needs. I love all animals. Because I create my own schedule for nursing, I often have days and nights free for pet care! I have a car and can fit all sorts of animal care needs into my schedule. When caring for your pets, I will spend lots of time playing, giving them cuddles, and taking them outside when needed. I will make sure they are happy.
“Ulku and Andrew were so great with Nelly! She was immediately comfortable with them and loved playing in the backyard — I loved receiving so many pictures and video updates throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend them for doggy daycare!”
“Our 4-month puppy LOVES going to daycare at Emelie’s! He has a great time with his playmates and comes back home happy and tired—never overexcited or stressed out. Emelie is able to take care of a lot of dogs, let them play and rest, and even give them love. She has a spacious home and a great fenced backyard where her 4-paw guests can run, play, and go to the bathroom. Highly recommended.”

“Our boisterous Husky was right at home with John and his family and their dog Hugo. He had a wonderful time running in the big fenced yard, leash walking in the neighborhood, and lounging about the house. He went right to sleep when we got in the car, and tiring out a Husky is not easy! Overall, it was a great experience for us all. We'll be back next time we're in town!”

We are so grateful. Paris, played all evening with the other puppies and Alessandra sent pics to keep us updated. We will definitely take her there again soon.”
About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
About: About Me Hi, I’m Ann! I work from home and truly enjoy having a furry companion by my side throughout the day. I know how important it is for dogs to get daily walks and fresh air—so I make sure every pup in my care gets plenty of exercise and fun, rain or shine. Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets. I grew up surrounded by animals, which taught me to understand their needs and emotions on a deeper level. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, lots of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My Home I share my home with two friendly cats who prefer relaxing in their own space when we have visiting dogs. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for everyone. To make sure each guest gets the care and attention they deserve, I only board up to two dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy a cozy home setting, plenty of personal attention, and lots of cuddles. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into our little family! ~Ann I am self employed and work full time at home ensuring that your pet will get the attention they deserve and need. They have easy access to the backyard as well. The backyard is fenced in. I have never allowed my dogs to sleep on my bed nor sofa but they have their own ottoman to stay close to me while I watch TV and the comfort of a dog bed and/ or crate. My home is peaceful ☺️

Also, I am used to dealing with high-energy dogs. I have a 2-and-a-half year old Goldendoodle! I am a full-time teacher. I am typically available to pet sit nights and weekends. During the summer, I am free on Wednesday and Thursdays! I will follow all specific instructions when your dog stays with us. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can provide frequent walks if your dog stays with us! Our Goldendoodle is very friendly and would love to meet your dog before they stay with us.

“Tim and Ally are super reliable and extremely flexible. They’ve saved us in a few binds and our pets love them. Our dog stares out the window waiting for them to arrive!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.
“So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.”
“We’ll be booking Daphne again! She was able to help us out to walk our two senior dogs with short notice. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time for the walk, and went above and beyond walking our newer adopted dog whose leash manners are a work in progress. In the app, we got a picture and update after her drop in/walk. Our dogs were clearly in very good hands. Can’t ask for anything more than that!”
“Briana booked with us on short notice, assisted us during holiday travel and took great care of our older dog! She was consistently on time, made sure he had his medications and always shared photos. We appreciate her helping to keep him safe and happy while we were away.”
“Craig is great!! Always here on time and Higgins, my terrier, gets new route each time. This evening walk relieves a lot of stress for me and my husband- knowing that we can rely on Craig.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and have experience for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I am also comfortable with fish, reptiles, and other small pets, so I can cover any additional pets other than dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your pets loves walks, or playing, or just company to hang out with, I’ll make sure to give them the care they need, as well as the style they prefer. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet with someone else, so I value communication above all. Whether it be photos, quick updates, or detailed summaries of each visit, I prioritize a clean and quick path of communication, from the moment my services are required, the moment they’re complete. I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the ‘go-to’ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so we’re all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.
“Alex has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! They look forward to their walks with her every day! We have already booked more dates and will continue to do so in the future!!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people.

About: I have always had a dog in my house, even now. I know it's hard to leave your dogs when heading away. I hope that I can help! I can give medication, take your dog for walks during the evening and weekends and can provide extra love when you are not around. I have had experience with dogs who are not dog friendly with others, so I am able to handle dogs that might not get along, but that doesn't mean the can't have fun throwing the ball or go for walks (I've learned where to find the walks where other dogs won't be). Any other questions, please feel free to reach out! I’m available on weekends for walks or boarding. During the week, I am available after 4pm for walks and feedings until you get home from work. We have a fenced in yard and dogs are welcome on couches and beds, in this house! I also have a 3 year old son who might be a bigger dog lover than we are, to offer additional affection!
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy.

Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)

“Another great stay with Leo’s mom and dad Ulku and Andrew. Not only are they awesome sitters but they coordinate your dog’s stay with other well matched playmates! BEST experience!!!”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“David is a tentative and passionate animal caretaker. His home provides a safe haven for your pet. I will be certain to seek his service in the near future. Jacqueline”

“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“Rebecca took great care of Lula and kept us updated daily with photos and information. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We really appreciate her experience and if she would have Lula back we would love to call upon her again.”
“Allison and the girls took such great care of Cookie! As first time Rover users, Allison was patient with my husband and provided regular check-ins, updates and pictures! It was clear Cookie had a nice time and was much less stressed than when we typically board her. We look forward to booking again with Allison and Kevin in the future!”
“This was an amazing stay for our boy! They sent so many photo updates we could really enjoy our trip knowing our pup was well cared for! Would love to use this family to watch our dog again❤️”
“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”
“I was looking for a place to board my brother's dog for a few days while he was in the hospital. Thalita responded to my request quickly and was very friendly. She and her family welcomed Baby and were wonderful throughout the whole process. If you have the need for a caring person to watch your dog, I could not recommend Thalita more. You would be happy that you did.”
“Brian was awesome. We have an older dog and this is the first time we had an overnight away from home stay. Brian updated us regularly and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely use Brian in the future!”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“My goldendoodle Lenny had a wonderful time at Melissa’s. From the first introductory visit I felt comfortable and sure that Melissa, and her family, would take good care of him. I appreciated her daily pictures and updates on Lenny, and could tell he was having a wonderful time. Thank you!”
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Tamikia did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was gone! She provided lots of pictures/updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“My dog Mabel absolutely LOVED her stay with Joanna and Henry! She was so happy and calm for her stay and I know that because of all the wonderful pictures and videos that Joanna sent while we were gone. Mabel usually comes back with an upset stomach when she stays with someone other than us, but this was not the case with Joanna. I know she kept a close eye on her and made sure she didn’t eat weird random things outside and that she gave her the attention and love she is used to. Henry and Mabel because quick friends and that was the icing on the cake!! We are so happy to have found someone we can truly trust with our girl and will definitely be using her when we go away again:)”
“Tim and Ally were amazing. They were incredibly loving to Theo and very communicative. They let Theo take his time to feel safe and settled, and he absolutely loved them. I feel very confident and am looking forward to having Theo stay with their family again.”
“Arthur stayed with Michell for three days and he had the best time! Michell was always available to answer any questions when we needed him and he was very communicative back with any updates! We would definitely drop off Arthur again. It was nice knowing Arthur was in good hands during our vacation :)”
