“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Eleanor Kevin and their extended family of lovely children were great with our 2 labradoodles during our extended stay. They showered our dogs with love and playtime. They were very communicative through the whole process, flexible around a last minute pick up time request and were also very kind sending pictures to us. We know our dogs had a blast and we know we will be going to them in the future!”
“George took great care of our dog. He sent pictures and updates which we really appreciated. He was also very understanding when our flight was delayed and we got back later than expected.”
“It was our first time leaving Creamy with non-family members over night. And we needed to leave her for 8 days! We were naturally a bit nervous, but our worries were unfounded. Kate and her husband took care of Creamy so well. Every time Kate sent us pictures and messages, we felt Creamy was getting more and more comfortable being there. We will definitely leave Creamy with Kate again for our next trip!”
“This was Cassie’s first time with Aaron and she had a wonderful time! Aaron sent pictures and videos, asked questions if he needed more information about our pet and was very communicative. We have another booking with h and we are so at ease knowing Cassie is in good hands! Just amazing!”
“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.”
“Meredith was excellent! She took the time to listen to details about my dog so that her stay went well. She has a dog friendly home and yard plus she loves the dogs! Besides caring for my dog she played with her and went for walks. Meredith was easy to book with and kept me posted during the stay. When I came for pickup my dog was relaxed and it was apparent they had bonded. Meredith exceeded my expectations in all regards.”
“It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.”
“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”
“Andres was great with our pup! He has such a calm demeanor and excellent knowledge of many dog breeds. He even obliged us with a trial night as our pup has separation anxiety issues. We have already booked another stay with he and his wife.”
“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: 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.
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 potty breaks, dog walks, cat check ins, & feedings. I am available for dog/cat check ins while you’re away, daytime daycare, and overnights and boarding at my house (dogs only). For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable, 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. For dogs, I ensure your dog is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. For cats, your cat will be monitored and kept in your home. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal.
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.
“Dana is an amazing sitter! My boys love staying at her place, they have lots of fun playing in her yard. She’s sweet and I trust her with my boys care. Thanks again Dana! ✨💛”
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! I’m currently on work leave and home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to providing your cat with the care, companionship, and supervision they deserve. I’m able to maintain their regular routines, give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, your cat will receive plenty of one-on-one attention while they’re in my care. I grew up with a cat and have continued to care for cats through fostering over the years. While I’m unable to board your sweet kitty in my home because of my dogs, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on cuddles while you’re away

“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.”
“My pups enjoy their daily visits from Chen for a midday exercise and potty breaks! This dog mom is happy as well knowing that they are being cared for and getting belly rubs even when I’m not there. Chen makes sure to send me updates with a cute pic and some notes on how the visit went! Thank you Chen, we couldn’t be more pleased with your services!”
“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: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lima
“Julianna is so sweet! She lives my Paulie and I adore seeing Cooper and Betty Boop and meeting the other pups Juliana is caring for! The comfort of having Juliana care my pup the way she cares for her own is awesome!!”
“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 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!
About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have been a pet owner my whole life and have lots of experience with caring for others pets as well as my own! My family has also fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work another part time job but would love to help during mornings and evenings and on weekends! I have a mostly flexible schedule and can make time to assist you! I have a fenced in yard and a cat of my own who is friendly with other cats and dogs. I live in a safe neighborhood to walk dogs. I have plentiful experience feeding, walking, grooming, and caring for both cats and dogs!
“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: 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.
About: I have had a dog for 20 years, my whole life! I have watched other dogs for 10 years by letting them out, walking them, or overnights. I love playing with dogs! I am a college student on break and am free daily! I work at a restaurant but only picking up shifts so will be free a lot of the time! I have a fenced in yard for pets to run around! My neighborhood is a great spot for long walks! I have a small friendly little dog who loves to play.
“Blitz had a wonderful time with Melissa and Cody! He had a full day of play which makes him a happy dog:) He loves the time in their fenced in yard to play with others but also the down time napping in a comfortable spot. We will definitely use them again”
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.

I’m available for boarding during the week/weekends, as well as drop-in-visits and dog walking. I have one small dog and two cats and therefore have everything I need at home to care for your pet! I have a crate, pet carriers, leashes, toys, and plenty of yard space.

About: I’m an avid animal lover with plenty of dog experience. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I was a dog walker for a few families while my kids were young and at school. I currently have a senior pittie. I don’t have a ton of cat experience, but I’m always happy to learn! I work full time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can easily do mornings, late afternoon and evenings as well as weekends. I can come to your home for visits, walks and playtime. My dog is family, your home and animals will be treated the same way.
“Dante was incredible with our dogs, we hired him for 10 days while i was recovering from surgery and our dogs loved him and he was so loving with them and it really showed how much he cares about them. we would absolutely recommend him to care for your pets if you’re looking for someone. i can’t say enough good things about him, don’t look any further! he’s a gem. thank you!”
About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, reptiles and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.

“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”

“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!”
“We love Carol and my very picky Bishop adores her and offers her a toy every time he sees her. Carol is just amazing and we look forward to seeing her for our weekly walks. Sincerely, Bishop and family.”
“Angela is such a wonderful and trustworthy person. It’s so comforting to know that our elder doggie Ginger is being so well taken care of. We had last minute plans and Angela was able to take Ginger for a walk to her favorite park and provided great pictures! We highly recommend Angela - my go to Ginger sitter!”
“Rachel is an amazing person to work with! She really cares about my Ellie's welfare and happiness on her visits. Rachel is also super quick with her responses to communication. Couldn't recommend her enough :)”
“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”

We have all time ti play and go on walks throughout the day. We treat our furry babies like humans. We love to play and give them treats.

About: Hello! I love dogs and currently have two large breed dogs at my parent’s home that have moderate and energetic play levels. I have tons of dog experience by always having a dog in my household growing up. I volunteered at Providence Animal Center for over a year in my teenage years and most recently worked at a dog daycare for over 2 years. I love to go on hikes and explore, so any energy level for your dog is great. I also own my own car and have a license so transportation will not be a problem. I am willing to travel to walk dogs if that helps. Hope to be able to walk dogs as a part-time second job (I am registered nurse as my full-time job) and am willing to work for whatever rate you choose. Please consider me for your dog walking needs. Thank you!
“I have been SO blessed to have Nicole as my dog walker for over two months now! She has been very flexible with my schedule and is always responsive to communication. She leaves detailed daily reports of how her walk goes with my pup and I'm so appreciative of her attention to detail and for loving my dog just as much as I do! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker!”

“Eleanor Kevin and their extended family of lovely children were great with our 2 labradoodles during our extended stay. They showered our dogs with love and playtime. They were very communicative through the whole process, flexible around a last minute pick up time request and were also very kind sending pictures to us. We know our dogs had a blast and we know we will be going to them in the future!”
“George took great care of our dog. He sent pictures and updates which we really appreciated. He was also very understanding when our flight was delayed and we got back later than expected.”
“It was our first time leaving Creamy with non-family members over night. And we needed to leave her for 8 days! We were naturally a bit nervous, but our worries were unfounded. Kate and her husband took care of Creamy so well. Every time Kate sent us pictures and messages, we felt Creamy was getting more and more comfortable being there. We will definitely leave Creamy with Kate again for our next trip!”
“This was Cassie’s first time with Aaron and she had a wonderful time! Aaron sent pictures and videos, asked questions if he needed more information about our pet and was very communicative. We have another booking with h and we are so at ease knowing Cassie is in good hands! Just amazing!”
“It was my first time having to leave my dog, Max, with someone he did not know, and meeting Laura before going on my trip was very helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She keeps you updated and answers questions promptly. Laura sent pictures and videos to show how Max was doing, which I really appreciated. If I need a sitter again I will definitely bring Max back to Laura, and I know he'll feel comfortable, and I will feel better about leaving him.”
“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”
“Andres was great with our pup! He has such a calm demeanor and excellent knowledge of many dog breeds. He even obliged us with a trial night as our pup has separation anxiety issues. We have already booked another stay with he and his wife.”
“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: 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.
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 potty breaks, dog walks, cat check ins, & feedings. I am available for dog/cat check ins while you’re away, daytime daycare, and overnights and boarding at my house (dogs only). For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable, 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. For dogs, I ensure your dog is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. For cats, your cat will be monitored and kept in your home. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal.
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.
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! I’m currently on work leave and home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to providing your cat with the care, companionship, and supervision they deserve. I’m able to maintain their regular routines, give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, your cat will receive plenty of one-on-one attention while they’re in my care. I grew up with a cat and have continued to care for cats through fostering over the years. While I’m unable to board your sweet kitty in my home because of my dogs, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on cuddles while you’re away
“Dolly and her three boys took exceptional care of Parker. She has three boys and a large fencing backyard that allowed him to play amd explore in a safe environment. When we arrived, parker was immediately snatched up by her by one of her two younger sons who promptly began playing with him, pampering him and loving him. Dolly said her sons even “argued” over whose bed he would sleep in. Parker came back a happy camper and made three great buddies along the way. Additionally, Dolly kept constant contact with me and sent pictures over the course of the two days. I would highly recommend this wonderful family to look after your pet whenever you need someone to watch them.”
“We can’t thank you all enough for taking such good care of Candy❤️ And for being so understanding of our circumstances It is a huge weight off our hearts to know candy has a home away from home in the future Thanks again Francine, Heidi and all”
“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.”
“Carly is truly an exceptional animal carer. During my dogs' weeklong stay with Carly, she provided thoughtful and kind updates with lots of photos about my buddies' stay with her. She was also very flexible and professional.”
“Christine was great! She took Indo on very late notice, and made him super comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area in need of a responsible and knowledgeable dog sitter!”
