Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pennside
“Great sitter! My dog stayed for 3 nights and was really well cared for the entire time. She has a safe fenced yard, and I loved knowing he had space to relax and play outside. He seemed comfortable and happy the whole stay, and communication was easy throughout. Would definitely book again! Thank you Deb!”
“Luna had a great time staying at Cera’s. Cera went above and beyond in making sure Luna felt at home, taking her on runs, lots of snuggles, and sharing an abundance of updates. Would definitely book again.”
“We travelled internationally and left Abby with Jenna for 25 days. We were a bit nervous but Jenna took fantastic care of Abby. She sent us pics and videos to confirm Abby’s well-being. We definitely recommend Jenna for your pet boarding.”
“Cassandra went above and beyond for my pup. She kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout her care. My pup was unwell while in her care, and I sent her some items that she happily gave to my dog to help her feel better. She even washed her blankets and bathed her. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”
“Norma absolutely loved her time with Fernando! I'm a travel healthcare worker, and needed some help with my puppy. Every day she would run up to the door with her tail wagging like crazy to see him. Fernando was very reliable, never had to cancel or change his schedule. He even kept her overnight once, my family was in town and we went to a concert in Maryland. If I'm ever in this area again, I'd 100% go to Fernando again.”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter. She sent me pictures and daily updates about Cinnamon, and she took her out on walks and took good care of her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“Tristan was responsible and appears to have done a great job in caring for our energetic Siberian Husky. He ready to assist us with gladness in spite of our WiFi blackouts. When we returned we had our updates waiting for us. I would not only use him again personally, but would recommend him to others.”
“Marie was wonderful. She always kept me up to date with daily pictures and information. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her services on my next trip.”
“Mollie provided a home away from home for my dog. I received lots of photos and communication during his stay and they were sad to see him leave at the end. I’ll definitely be requesting a stay with her again!”
“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“100% recommended. I felt very calm throughout my trip because JoEllen was in constant communication with me everyday, She always sent me photos and updates on how my dear Ginger was doing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”
“We are lucky our pup wanted to come home with us after staying with Sam & her family! It’s so comforting to have such true dog lovers look after your crazy family member in your absence. Thanks again, Sam.. our girl snored so loud last night!”
About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.
“Very nice family that took great care of our dog. Very responsive with all communications and sent updates. Our dog required medicine and that was no issue. Would highly recommend and of course I would use again without hesitation. Thank you”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“We went on a cruise for 8 days. Our pups had a fantastic time while we were away. I loved getting videos and pictures to update me while we were gone. We’ll definitely be using Liceth again in the future.”
“Amber is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter! It was clear that Amber and family treated Milo like he was one of their own during the five days he stayed with them. She understood that he needed a day to settle in, and was patient and attentive to his needs. We received daily photos and could see how happy Milo was. We are so grateful to have found Amber and look forward to booking her again soon (and Milo will be so happy too)!”

“Cera dropped in for visits over labor day weekend while I was away at a wedding. Both my cats were feral when adopted and so they typically hide from people they don’t know but Cera sent me pictures everyday of both of them and was very patient with them. I am so grateful they were in good hands for the weekend.”
“Anya is very reliable and took very good care of my son’s cats. This is my second experience with her and she is wonderful. She always sends me pictures and keeps me posted! I look forward to hiring her again in the future!”
“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”
“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”
“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Jess and would highly recommend her. She took the time to build trust with our cats and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by handling a few unexpected messes without hesitation and even helping us address a small spot in the house the cats kept getting into. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does.”

“Amber was super responsive and really helped us out over the holiday weekend. Our cat takes several medications and Amber was able to administer all of them for us. Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Susan is a fantastic cat sitter. Our cat felt comfortable and cared for. She spent time with him ensuring he ate, exercised and received scratches and pets. Susan submits daily updates and photos providing the pet owner with reassurance that their pet is doing well. We're so appreciate of Susan.”
“What a lovely experience. From our initial meeting that gave us confidence, to the great communication throughout, we had peace of mind that our guy was being well cared for. The photographs and updates were so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare.”

About: I'm Fátima, a pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I don't just care for them, I connect with them! Each dog or cat I care for receives personalized attention, playtime, affection, and lots of cuddles, just as if they were my own. I send photos and videos so their owners can rest easy. I follow routines to the letter and adapt care to each pet's personality. Because more than just a service, I offer trust, love, and companionship. I include time dedicated exclusively to pet care in my weekly routine. I make sure to follow their feeding, walking, and resting schedules, in addition to providing them with constant companionship. My priority is to ensure each animal maintains their usual routine and receives all the love and attention they need. Whether at my home or at the client's, my goal is for each pet to feel happy and cared for. I adapt to their needs: I offer them a quiet and safe space in my home or I respect the routines and rules of their environment. I always provide personalized attention, lots of love, and send frequent updates for their peace of mind.
“Mollie is kind, warm and professional. Rico, our 2 year old beagle was so well cared for by Mollie. He was so happy to be with her for several days of day care. He received so much love. Greatly recommend Mollie.”
“I had such a great experience with Lydianis! She watched my dog overnight and took amazing care of him. She kept me updated the whole time with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She made sure he felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. You can truly tell she cares and goes above and beyond. On top of that, she even helped me find him a new home because of my situation, and she found him the most amazing family. That meant everything to me. She doesn’t treat pets like “just dogs” she treats them with real love and compassion. I truly trust her with any of my pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

If your pet needs privacy or separate space, I totally understand and have room to accommodate that.

About: My family has had a dog my entire life, but I got MY first dog when I was 12 years old. He was my best friend and his name was Tucker. He was an Australian Shepherd and we spent most of our time together. I taught him how to sit and shake his paw...we even mastered a high five. Tucker and I went through life together. He was my copilot, my swimming buddy, my listening ear and the best pillow to lay my head on. In his late years, Tucker's vision and hearing were mostly gone, but he could always find me with his nose! Near the end of his life Tucker lost the connections from his brain to his back legs. I had to carry him outside to use the bathroom and that was when I knew it was time to let him go. Tucker passed away in my arms in October of 2021. My life was forever changed by my furry best friend. He was lucky to have a furry friend for the last 5 months of his life. We adopted an American Staffordshire Terrier in July of 2021 and he has brought so much joy to our home and has helped my kids with the passing of Tucker. Rumble is our puppy and I have house trained him and he is very good with kids and other dogs. I am currently working from home so it gives me a lot of flexibility to let your pups out to play and to make sure they have a lot of free time throughout the day. My lap is always free for any pup that needs a seat and some back scratches! I have a very friendly dog that would love to have play time with your dog, but I also have a crate for my dog should they need some time apart. I have a large back yard and I have 30' leads for the dogs to run around on. I am willing to give treats if you wish and your pup is welcome to bring their favorite toys and a blanket from home to smell for comfort.

“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter. She sent me pictures and daily updates about Cinnamon, and she took her out on walks and took good care of her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Tristan was responsible and appears to have done a great job in caring for our energetic Siberian Husky. He ready to assist us with gladness in spite of our WiFi blackouts. When we returned we had our updates waiting for us. I would not only use him again personally, but would recommend him to others.”
“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”
“100% recommended. I felt very calm throughout my trip because JoEllen was in constant communication with me everyday, She always sent me photos and updates on how my dear Ginger was doing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH”
“We are lucky our pup wanted to come home with us after staying with Sam & her family! It’s so comforting to have such true dog lovers look after your crazy family member in your absence. Thanks again, Sam.. our girl snored so loud last night!”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“We went on a cruise for 8 days. Our pups had a fantastic time while we were away. I loved getting videos and pictures to update me while we were gone. We’ll definitely be using Liceth again in the future.”
“Amber is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter! It was clear that Amber and family treated Milo like he was one of their own during the five days he stayed with them. She understood that he needed a day to settle in, and was patient and attentive to his needs. We received daily photos and could see how happy Milo was. We are so grateful to have found Amber and look forward to booking her again soon (and Milo will be so happy too)!”
“Dawn was so great with Wilson! She let him hog the bed and snuggle on the couch all day and night. She sent lots of updates and great photos which kept our mind at ease while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“I had an amazing experience with this Kanija! She was super responsive and kept me updated multiple times a day with photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. She made sure my dog felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I could tell my dog was genuinely happy and in great hands. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be rebooking for future stays!”
“Thomas was awesome! He was very patient with Willie. He is a puppy so it can be challenging. He sent me pictures which put me at ease since this was the first time I left him for a few days. I will definitely recommend Thomas.”
About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!
About: fostered 3 litters of kittens, pet sat for family friends with a dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats, I have cared for a senior dog and also senior cats before. Im graduated from high school on summer break waiting to go off to college and looking for something to do with animals because I love them! I have no other job so Ill be available really any time Im needed There is a fenced yard with our family dog Ezra to play with, also 2 cats, I love walking dogs and dont mind letting them out or taking them out often. Lots of cuddles and time will be spent with your pet, and Ill wait with them to make sure they eat
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.
