“Accepted my two dogs at the last minute when we had to make an urgent trip. My little dog Doc was nervous around the other dogs, but Chrisie made him feel safe and comfortable.”
“Another outstanding stay for my puppy with Christina. As usual Christina kept us informed of how my girl was doing. She always makes friends at Christina's and comes home happy and well exercised. Thanks again Christina and Al for taking such good care of Maci. We will see you again soon.”
“Chester was absolutely fabulous when we had him watch Rocco, our 100lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. My father passed way in a different state so we were trying to find someone to watch Rocco either in our home or theirs so we could attend services. He was a rescue a year ago and didn’t want to put him in a kennel or place where he would think he was being abandoned. After reading that Chester not only boards dogs in his home, but has a large property for long walks and a fenced in area for play, I felt confident contacting him. Chester was able to accommodate our last minute request and had a meet and greet that same day. Rocco met the other dog he was boarding at the time and being Rocco loves other dogs, he was excited to be there which made me feel even better. Having access to other rooms, I one this was the place for him. While away, Chester sent us pictures, videos, and a brief summary every day to let us know how Rocco was doing. We saw Rocco getting walks, playing with the other dogs, getting treats, playing with toys, and just relaxing. That put us at ease knowing Chester treated him like his own. I would definitely recommend Chester and we will definitely have Rocco there again one day.”
“kelly was incredibly accommodating to board my black lab despite the last minute request prior to a holiday weekend, particularly having no time to meet him prior. she offered flexibility for pickup and drop off times and was kind enough to meet me at home to ensure she was okay with his level of energy and excitement and transport him back to her apartment. i appreciated her easy-going nature and her willingness to administer his daily medication. also loved receiving the photos and updates she provided during his stay giving me the peace of mind to enjoy the weekend away...thank you, kelly!”
“Hannelie took excellent care of jax and took him for walks everyday and sent updates of how he was doing. Would definitely recommend as a matter of fact she is taking care of jax again.”
About: I do in home visits/dog walks for pets. They'll get a nice play session in too! Plenty of love and pets given too! Pre-meeting is fine as well. I currently work part-time time. I have a very flexible schedule so I'm usually available a few times a day for dog walks and visits I will always make sure your dog is leashed on walks. I also make sure your pet is in the house when I leave and the door is locked.
“Jake and Mischa were great! We had to find another sitter as the sitter we normally use was unavailable. Our dogs took to them right away. They sent us pictures throughout the week and always kept us updated. Also they offer pick up and drop of services!!! Our dogs were exhausted when they came home after so much fun. Highly recommend!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
“Daniel & his wife were amazing! I was worried that my 15 year old Shit-Zu Yorkie mix would not adjust very well. She does not do well with new people or environments, but she felt very comfortable and at ease. She had a great stay. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much!!!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Michael and Tracy were wonderful, fun & patient pup sitters! We have 1 happy-go-lucky dog & 1 nervous-Nelly, and they cared for both very well! They communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures. Best of all, we knew our pups were being treated like family while we were away. Thanks Michael & Tracy!”
“This is the second time my little Ellie has stayed with Grace and I swear Ellie lives her best life there!! Grace keeps me updated in how she is doing with pics and texts!! I will definitely being booking with Grace in the future!!”
“Such an amazing experience! This was our first time leaving both our dogs with someone and they can be quite the handful. I had so much anxiety leaving them with someone but Katarzyna put all of my fears to rest as soon as I met her! She has a beautiful yard and sent us picture updates of the dogs. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”

“We had such a great experience with Lillie! She is super sweet and took wonderful care of our two cats. She’s very knowledgeable about cat care, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our kitties while we were away. I would absolutely book with her again. She’s the best!”
“Logan was wonderful with our two kitties. They are very shy and skittish and Logan was patient and kind and wisely waited for them to make friends in their own time. Now they love him! He was great at keeping us informed, dependable, and helpful. He did everything we asked and spent lots of time with our pets. He even took care of some outside snow and ice for us! We will definitely request Logan again. Very happy pet parents!”
“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”

“Isabella was wonderful! She stopped over a few days prior to meet and learn about what our pets needed while we were away which I appreciated. We will definitely book her again next time we are out of town!”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Virlyn was very sweet and patient with my senior! I can tell he felt comfortable with her almost immediately. She took great care of Oliver during her visits and I’m so happy I was able to find someone close for when we have to step away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Angela took great care and patience with our not-very-nice cat. Her drop-in visits and photos were greatly appreciated and gave us a peace of mind while we were away. Would book again!”
“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”

Your dog will be lovingly cared for and closely supervised on our peaceful 8-acre property, complete with a beautiful creek and plenty of space to explore. We provide lots of toys and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged, and our friendly miniature schnauzer enjoys making new canine friends (after a little welcoming bark or two!). Our free-ranging chickens also add an extra bit of entertainment and curiosity for visiting dogs. You can feel confident that your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for in our cozy home, where they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and fun throughout their stay.

We have a spacious 8-acre property with long, groomed walking paths where dogs can explore and enjoy the outdoors, typically leashed for safety. Our back property is exceptionally private, featuring wide, flat open fields with no immediate neighbors and located well away from the road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. We also have a fenced play area where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play and exercise. Inside, dogs are treated as part of the family and are welcome throughout our roomy and comfortable home. At night, they can relax and sleep in cozy dog beds located in quiet spare rooms, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.
“Christina was an excellent choice when we needed a dog sitter for Cassidy. We were in Pennsylvania to attend a family wake and funeral and went online to search for a dog day care. Christina was very professional when introducing our dog to her dogs - everything went very smoothly. We also received pictures during the day of Cassidy on a walk, eating dinner and laying on her bed relaxing. We knew our dog was in good hands shortly after meeting Christina just by watching her interact with our dog. All in all, having Christina take care of Cassidy was a positive experience for us and helped to make a family funeral easier to deal with, knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of. We would highly recommend anyone who is going through Milford, PA, to use Christina to take care of your dogs. Thanks, Christina for an awesome experience! Sue, Bill and Cassidy from NY”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra, our Rover sitter! Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and the little extra touches made it even more special — they came home with a star and a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful surprise. Communication was great, I received pictures and a video of their day. We would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner since 2013, raising my own pups from just 8 weeks old and learning the ins and outs of dog behavior along the way. For the past three years, I’ve offered dog boarding, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Patience is my strength, and I know how to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Here, your dog won’t just have a place to stay — they’ll have 8 acres of open land to run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, sniffing every corner of the yard, or lounging in the sun, they’ll find their own little slice of paradise here. My goal is to ensure your dog is not only well cared for but truly happy during their stay. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your dogs. Since I have dogs and other animals of my own, I rarely travel, so I’m available most of the time to look after your furry family members. We live on open land with no neighbors nearby, so if your dog loves to bark or roam, they’re free to enjoy themselves without worry. I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.
“We canceled with Connie because of change of plans but offered to pay for half the chargers, but she refused saying that she wouldn’t accept any money if she didn’t perform the services. We look forward to using Connie in the future. She was very easy to deal with and very kind. Sure, she would’ve taken really good care of Cody.”
“Scotty was great with Nola! It was a last-minute booking and despite the snow falling, he met us outside. Showcased the area Nola would be, and sent pictures of her comfortable! He was super friendly and accommodating for us, and Nola really loved her time with him!”
“Dawn is very personable and down to earth! She kept me updated with my puppy’s experience throughout the day and he’s always so excited every time he sees her! I will always come back to her while I’m in the area!”
About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.
About: I have been a pet owner for 30+ years (currently own no pets) and a pet sitter from the 80's and 90's when it was new to have someone in your house taking care of pets while traveling. I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin. I miss having my own pet, so loving and caring for others would be a great fit. My home is spacious, with plenty of room to play, sleep and be crated (if necessary). I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.
“Emily and Andre have been great for doggy day care. They have been amazingly accommodating and in the pics they’ve sent Gouda looks like he very much enjoys the time and company he has there.”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need.

Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am.

“Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend”

“Another outstanding stay for my puppy with Christina. As usual Christina kept us informed of how my girl was doing. She always makes friends at Christina's and comes home happy and well exercised. Thanks again Christina and Al for taking such good care of Maci. We will see you again soon.”
“Chester was absolutely fabulous when we had him watch Rocco, our 100lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. My father passed way in a different state so we were trying to find someone to watch Rocco either in our home or theirs so we could attend services. He was a rescue a year ago and didn’t want to put him in a kennel or place where he would think he was being abandoned. After reading that Chester not only boards dogs in his home, but has a large property for long walks and a fenced in area for play, I felt confident contacting him. Chester was able to accommodate our last minute request and had a meet and greet that same day. Rocco met the other dog he was boarding at the time and being Rocco loves other dogs, he was excited to be there which made me feel even better. Having access to other rooms, I one this was the place for him. While away, Chester sent us pictures, videos, and a brief summary every day to let us know how Rocco was doing. We saw Rocco getting walks, playing with the other dogs, getting treats, playing with toys, and just relaxing. That put us at ease knowing Chester treated him like his own. I would definitely recommend Chester and we will definitely have Rocco there again one day.”
About: I do in home visits/dog walks for pets. They'll get a nice play session in too! Plenty of love and pets given too! Pre-meeting is fine as well. I currently work part-time time. I have a very flexible schedule so I'm usually available a few times a day for dog walks and visits I will always make sure your dog is leashed on walks. I also make sure your pet is in the house when I leave and the door is locked.
“Jake and Mischa were great! We had to find another sitter as the sitter we normally use was unavailable. Our dogs took to them right away. They sent us pictures throughout the week and always kept us updated. Also they offer pick up and drop of services!!! Our dogs were exhausted when they came home after so much fun. Highly recommend!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Michael and Tracy were wonderful, fun & patient pup sitters! We have 1 happy-go-lucky dog & 1 nervous-Nelly, and they cared for both very well! They communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures. Best of all, we knew our pups were being treated like family while we were away. Thanks Michael & Tracy!”
“Such an amazing experience! This was our first time leaving both our dogs with someone and they can be quite the handful. I had so much anxiety leaving them with someone but Katarzyna put all of my fears to rest as soon as I met her! She has a beautiful yard and sent us picture updates of the dogs. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”
“Craig was able to provide amazing care for my shepherd working around a last minute work trip right before the holidays. Sent me videos every and made sure that I knew he was safe. Will continue to bring my Loki to him when needed.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
“This is the 2nd time Emily and Andre have dog-sat my good boy Leo for me and both times they have done a wonderful job!! They always send many many pictures and he always looks to be having a good time. Highly recommended!!”
“Alexis was wonderful! She sent notes every day on how Ghillie was doing and what their plans were. She was easy to contact and addressed any issues I may have had. I would definitely have Ghillie stay with her again. He had a wonderful time!”
About: I have been a pet owner for 30+ years (currently own no pets) and a pet sitter from the 80's and 90's when it was new to have someone in your house taking care of pets while traveling. I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin. I miss having my own pet, so loving and caring for others would be a great fit. My home is spacious, with plenty of room to play, sleep and be crated (if necessary). I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Nathaniel did a great job watching our dog Max for us. He was very accommodating, sent pictures along the way, and was great with his communication. I highly recommend Nathaniel to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
