“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Johanny did a wonderful job caring for our Honey while we were on vacation. When we brought her there, her home was welcoming and set up to care for our dog. We received photos and videos. When we came to pick her up, she was shampooed, and even had a little bow in her hair. I would definitely leave our dog in her care again and highly would recommend her.”
“Equasia is a beautiful person with a kind and generous soul. I was in a bind, looking for someone to watch my cat Leonidas, who has diabetes this past holiday weekend. I was going for knee surgery the Monday after the holiday and needed a safe place for him to stay. Equasia was willing and able to watch him, being ok with giving him his medicine at such short notice. We spoke on the phone so we could have a brief introduction and I was sold. Not only was she able and willing to watch him but I had no way of picking him up after my hospital discharge and she was willing to bring him home. She went above and beyond the care and support that was needed. She kept me posted daily on how he was and sent me pictures of him as well. I will be going through this surgery again and I will be making arrangements with Equasia for care of my little guy Leonidas. She wasn't just a pet sitter, she was a pet parent and she cared for him as such. 5 stars, I will always go to her if and when I need extended pet care. She provides a comfortable home for a newcomer, making it a safe space for him. I couldn't ask for a better place and person to watch over Leonidas. I am grateful to have met her and thankful for everything that she did.”
“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”
“Tracy was amazing. We left our new 8 week old puppy with her and Tracy kept us updated with how she was doing as well as sent us pictures. We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with Tracy. She was great at communicating and we have nothing but good things to say about our first time experience with Rover. Unfortunately we won’t be in Allentown again (our daughter graduated this weekend) but we highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. Thank you Tracy!!”
“Theresa and her entire family have truly treated Sissy like family. Everything from drop off to pick up was easy and seamless. I have so much peace about leaving my dog for an entire week knowing how much she was going to be loved and cared for. We cannot thank you enough! Sissy loves you all!”
“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. This was our puppy’s first time away from home, and we were definitely nervous, but Michael made us feel so comfortable from the very first meet & greet. He sent pictures and updates every single day, which really put our minds at ease. When she unexpectedly started going into heat, Michael didn’t hesitate. He even bought diapers so we wouldn’t have to stress after getting back from the airport. That meant so much to us. She did great in his care. We’ll absolutely be booking with Michael again!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“thanks a million for your amazing care of my dog!!! Emanuel, made my time away stress-free, he sent me pictures an videos, making me feel that my dog was happy and in a safe place. thank you for your excellent service, we would definitely be back!!!”
“David is Wonderful, pets , sitter He care with attention to details, follow up , professionalism, and love . We were gone for a week and he gives the best care to my two dogs . He updated us with a beautiful pictures .. thank you David”
“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Lori spoiled Trotsky during his stay. She was extremely loving and stayed in constant contact with us via text. She sent many photos of Trotsky while we were away, so we had nothing to worry about. I would recommend Lori 100% as a dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for rescues and senior pups. I recently said goodbye to my own dog, Eric, a golden mix I rescued at one year old and was lucky to have for almost 15 years. Caring for him through every stage of life gave me deep experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care, never rushed or left alone for long stretches. I truly miss having a dog around for daily walks, company, and that quiet joy dogs bring to everyday life, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to share that love again. I’m active and enjoy walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something a bit more adventurous. I also volunteer with a nonprofit called Hauling Hopes, which has further strengthened my comfort with different dog personalities and needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, and I closely monitor behavior and wellbeing. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have spent years helping care for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Just let me know what times would work best for you! I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or while you’re away on vacation, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Great people, great family. Stella was treated with the same love and attention that we provide her daily. They were very flexible and sent lots of pics to let us know she was ok. Their standard of care was exceptional.”
“Missy was great with Meadow. She’s very responsive to messages. Meadow looked so happy in the pics. She came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Nissy and the other I would definitely recommend her services.”

“David did wonderful, even with my older cat with her meds. He made sure Scooter took her meds. Communication was great. Pictures every day. The cats ate all their food for David, even better than for me. Thanks David.”
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”
“Denise was a great find. She responded promptly to a last-minute request. Came out and met with us. Although my cat usually does not take to strangers right away, he came out for Denise during the meet and greet. Denise was professional, accommodating, and I could tell immediately she was an animal lover. I felt my Jax was in good hands. I will definitely be using Denise's services again.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our cats received! One of our cats is usually very shy around strangers, but to our surprise, he went straight to Misha without any hesitation; a true testament to her gentle and calming presence. She sent us adorable daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were clearly well-loved and looked after. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I didn't know what to expect. Will is a lovely person & my cat liked him a lot too! I was surprised to receive a daily "Report Card". This not only informed me of all the tasks that Will performed during each visit, my cat's behavior & a few photos! Will was knowledgeable of the special diet & health situation of my cat & how to apply his medicines. I could tell that he was a highly skilled Cat Sitter. He also provided excellent & timely correspondence when I was sorting out my request. I highly recommend his services to any cat or dog. He loves them all!”
“From the first meet and greet Amanda was the sweetest! I knew I could trust her with our home and kitties. Her report cards were very detailed and pictures were much appreciated. We haven’t been home just yet but I am sure everything will be amazing. I would recommend her for your vacation needs!!! THANK YOU AMANDA! We will def be rebooking when needed!”
“Nina was wonderful! Kept me updated the whole time and sent great pictures. I could tell my cats were well taken care of by the way they greeted me at the door. Will be working with Nina again!!”
About: I have a background in dogs and horses having had dogs my whole life and horses indoor over half my life. I have worked with special needs dogs as well, providing medications and medical intervention. I also can provide light aid in training, as I have experience in training my personal dog. I try to provide messages and pictures once per day as well! I’m currently receiving my doctorate degree and spending the next 5 months in Pennsylvania finishing school and have a bit more flexibility throughout my weeks. I love animals with my own personal dog Ruby who stays with me as well as horses back in my home state!! I hope to be able to accommodate you and your pet into my schedule to provide the best care. I strive to respect the client’s privacy and space by not disturbing any areas in which the animals do not inhabit. I often spend a bit of time with the animals, primarily outdoors for dogs as to allow them to get more energy and stimulation.
About: I've worked in a doggy daycare, boarding, and training facility for four years and am still at it, and dog sat in my own home for at least a year before then. Animals are my passion and I have experience caring for cats, birds, and all breeds of dogs. I try to work around my regular job and college classes as well as other activities such as karate and homework. I am very busy, but I will always make time for animals. I will respectfully take care of your pet in your home, or out in the yard or park with whatever items are specified. I will not touch anything else.
“Tabby managed to earn the trust of my normally skittish, formerly feral cat, which to me, was HUGE! She was an excellent caretaker and communicator. She also did a great job as our house sitter!”
“Dani was pleasant and kind. That went a long way to our decision to have her look after our cat. We are quite satisfied and would certainly ask her to make daily visits again when the occasion arises. We are very”

All visits may be customized to you and your pet(s)’ needs (so long as within time-frame of visit)! Visits include refreshing of water bowls, feeding/medication administration (if needed), walks/runs, cleaning up of indoor messes they may make, and, of course, LOTS of cuddling and TLC for your fur baby(ies) throughout the visit (aka kisses, scratches, hugs and rubs!). I can also carry out quick extra tasks such as bringing in your mail, turning off/on lights, adjusting your thermostat, watering your plants, taking out the trash and/or returning your emptied receptacles back where they belong for you. The pace and intensity of my walks with your pup(s) are always tuned to your individual dog’s needs and desires. They range from laid-back, leisurely strolls (usually enjoyed by recovering and/or older dogs) to intensive running sessions (loved by younger and high-energy dogs)! === 💛🐶 During the pandemic of 2020, I also had the privilege of transporting and fostering an unwanted rescued pitbull from NYC into my PA home for what was supposed to be for just a couple of weeks. However, he ended up staying with me in my home for the next few years until he passed away peacefully. During his time here, he transformed from being sickly, lethargic, anxious and anti-social (who was deathly afraid of being in water) to a robust, energetic, loving and outgoing dog whom you couldn't get out of any body of water as hard as you tried (rivers, lakes, etc)! The change was truly miraculous and heart-warming to the core to see! === After each walk/visit, you will receive a text message from me with photos/videos letting you know how my time with them went! Included in this message will be a confirmation of completion of any extra tasks/special requests made by you for me to carry out. As a passionate animal lover myself, you can rest assure that they will be in the most loving, caring and attentive of hands and heart! I look forward to beginning a wonderful and healthy relationship with you and your pet(s)! === 🐕🏃♀️DOG WALKING & DROP-IN VISITS $25 per visit For one 30-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $20 per visit For two or more 30-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $35 per visit For one 60-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $30 per visit For two or more 60-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $5 weekend fee per visit $5 holiday fee per visit 2+ Hour Visits (Upon Special Request): $5 per additional hour ■•■•■ 🏡24-HOUR CARE (UP TO 24 HOURS - WITH OVERNIGHT STAY INCLUDED) Your home will be my home base for up to a 24-hour period (with an overnight stay included within those 24 hours). I will leave to go do any walks/drop-ins I have scheduled, but the rest of my time will be devoted to the safe-keeping and care of your home and pet(s). I will be away no more than 4-6 hours at a time maximum if needed (unless otherwise specified by you). The quality care of your pets will continue to be my top priority and NEVER be compromised. I may also use my pet-friendly home (complete with a fenced-in grassy yard and doggy door access) as a home base (in addition to yours) if that works well for your pet. During transportation, your pet will always be safely secured in my vehicle with a safety seatbelt harness. ADVANTAGES OF HOUSE SITTING House sitting (a.k.a. pet sitting) works very well for pets who tend to be nervous, anxious and/or destructive when left alone and away from their owners for longer periods of time than what they are normally accustomed to. This is also a wonderful solution for pets who tend to need more frequent supervision, special care and attention due to their age, those who recently have been introduced into your home and/or those with a compromised or recovering health condition. Your fur baby will feel wonderfully loved and cared for while waiting for you to return to him or her. As for your pup(s), when we are not at home, we are either going out for a walk/run in the neighborhood, meeting up with other friendly pooches needing to be visited and taken out for their walks, or out on a fun adventure and walk/run/hike/splash at any of the various wonderful, wooded, trail-laden parks in this beautiful region of PA! With personal pet-sitting, your beloved pet will receive more one-on-one time, care, loving attention – and freedom – than if it were placed in a crowded pet day-care facility or boarding kennel cage, while you receive the peace of mind that your fur baby is receiving the next best thing to you – right in the familiar surroundings of his or her own home! In addition, their risk of contracting illness or infections from other pets in such facilities will be avoided. $80 per day (For up to 2 pets) $40 extended care (Add up to 12 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $20 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $10 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day ■•■•■ 🌜OVERNIGHT STAY ONLY (UP TO 12 HOURS) $50 per night (For one night, for up to 2 pets) $10 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day 🎉 HOLIDAYS New Year's Day Memorial Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) July 4th Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) Thanksgiving (Thu-Sun) Christmas Eve Christmas New Year's Eve 💛 FRIDAY SUNDOWN TO SATURDAY SUNDOWN I am not open between Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, but if you need someone to come care for your pet(s) and cannot find anyone else to do so and/or it’s a last-minute emergency situation, I will be more than glad to do so if I can.

“Davy did a wonderful job keeping my kitties fed and healthy while we were away for the weekend. Even my shy girl who hides from everyone came around for them! My male cat takes meds and she was 100% comfortable taking care of him too. I would call them back in a heartbeat!”

“Brooke and Jeremy were amazing for doggy daycare. They were incredibly accommodating with my early work hours, which made everything so much easier for me. My pup tends to be pretty anxious, but they handled him with so much care and patience-it really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and effort they put into making him comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
“OMG, Jeanne is sooo amazing!!! Always there when I need her... my PayPay loves to hang with her and her husband!!!! That alone, says a lot to me.... because he’s picky with the friends he chooses.... whether it’s take care while I’m at work or a week or two while I’m away… I’m never concerned bringing my little guy to them...”
“Very nice family. They provided the highest level of attention to my pet. They were versatile and adapted their schedule to accommodate our Stella. Stella loved going to stay with them.”
“Mike was really great with our pup! Our 8-month-old is still getting used to going to daycare, but Mike was really patient with her. His dog is friendly and was a good playmate for our girl, and his house is kept clean. We got a lot of updates, pictures, and videos, which was appreciated! Will be rebooking in the future!”
“Equasia was fantastic and kind to me and my pup, and kept me updated all day. He came home very happy. They even brushed him and took him on multiple walks. Sent sooo many photos. I'm very happy and so is he! Would absolutely book again.”
About: I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters. As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with attentive, compassionate care that puts their well-being first 🐾😊.
“Christian is the “Cesar Milan” of the Lehigh Valley. I have used him several times so far to watch both of my dogs and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch them. He is professional, patient, caring and takes the job very seriously. His communication skills with the dogs are amazing. My puppy especially always comes back extremely tired after a full day of walks and playing and he even knows a new trick/command or two. I love getting pics and videos throughout the day. Every dog in his care is treated as his own. I would most definitely recommend him whether it’s for a day or for an overnight visit.”
About: I’m familiar with almost every breed, and have been training them since I was 10 years old. My last dog was a therapy dog I took into nursing homes, but his time has past. :( I have all my time to spend with your pets. I am available weekends too, very flexible schedule. Will walk daily and play with them depending on age etc. I have a fenced in yard with no other pets. I am looking for a dog for myself to adopt and turn into a therapy dog, so I don’t mind training or corrective actions if wanted/ needed. I don’t like crates, but that’s me, and will respect your wishes. If at your house, you make the rules and I follow them, willing to FaceTime etc. whatever you need.
“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years or more, including my own. Family and friends have relied on me to dog sit, dog walk, give cuddles, and care for their pets over and over again. It’s truly something I enjoy and I love to meet and care for all different breeds. I work from home so I have time to be with your pet throughout the day! I am available to give potty breaks and walks every 2-4 hours and sometimes more ! I have my own friendly 13 year old pup who is trained off the leash. I do not have a fenced in yard but have no problem caring for your dog on a leash and go on daily walks to release some energy.
About: I have been a dedicated dog dad for over 4 years. While I have experience managing a multiple dog household, I currently only have my resident German Shepherd at home during sittings. He is a "big baby" super friendly, well-socialized, and great at making guest dogs feel welcome. I live to make these 4 legged animals smile, you can be sure your pup will have a good time when I’m around! As a dedicated dog owner for over four years, I offer a safe and structured 'home away from home' for your pup. My household is perfectly set up for socialization, featuring my friendly, 'big baby' German Shepherd who loves making new friends. To ensure a calm and focused environment, my other resident dogs stay off site during bookings, allowing me to prioritize your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s managing high-energy play, providing gentle senior care, or maintaining strict feeding and medication schedules, I provide your dog with a reliable routine filled with backyard fun, mental enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by an experienced handler who treats every guest like family! When a doggo stays with me, they aren't just a "guest" they become apart of the family. My goal is to keep their home routine so they don't feel the stress of your absence.

I look forward to beginning a wonderful and healthy relationship with you and your pet(s)! === 🐕🏃♀️DOG WALKING & DROP-IN VISITS $25 per visit For one 30-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $20 per visit For two or more 30-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $35 per visit For one 60-minute visit per week (For up to 2 pets) $30 per visit For two or more 60-minute visits per week (For up to 2 pets) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $5 weekend fee per visit $5 holiday fee per visit 2+ Hour Visits (Upon Special Request): $5 per additional hour ■•■•■ 🏡24-HOUR CARE (UP TO 24 HOURS - WITH OVERNIGHT STAY INCLUDED) Your home will be my home base for up to a 24-hour period (with an overnight stay included within those 24 hours). I will leave to go do any walks/drop-ins I have scheduled, but the rest of my time will be devoted to the safe-keeping and care of your home and pet(s). I will be away no more than 4-6 hours at a time maximum if needed (unless otherwise specified by you). The quality care of your pets will continue to be my top priority and NEVER be compromised. I may also use my pet-friendly home (complete with a fenced-in grassy yard and doggy door access) as a home base (in addition to yours) if that works well for your pet. During transportation, your pet will always be safely secured in my vehicle with a safety seatbelt harness. ADVANTAGES OF HOUSE SITTING House sitting (a.k.a. pet sitting) works very well for pets who tend to be nervous, anxious and/or destructive when left alone and away from their owners for longer periods of time than what they are normally accustomed to. This is also a wonderful solution for pets who tend to need more frequent supervision, special care and attention due to their age, those who recently have been introduced into your home and/or those with a compromised or recovering health condition. Your fur baby will feel wonderfully loved and cared for while waiting for you to return to him or her. As for your pup(s), when we are not at home, we are either going out for a walk/run in the neighborhood, meeting up with other friendly pooches needing to be visited and taken out for their walks, or out on a fun adventure and walk/run/hike/splash at any of the various wonderful, wooded, trail-laden parks in this beautiful region of PA! With personal pet-sitting, your beloved pet will receive more one-on-one time, care, loving attention – and freedom – than if it were placed in a crowded pet day-care facility or boarding kennel cage, while you receive the peace of mind that your fur baby is receiving the next best thing to you – right in the familiar surroundings of his or her own home! In addition, their risk of contracting illness or infections from other pets in such facilities will be avoided. $80 per day (For up to 2 pets) $40 extended care (Add up to 12 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $20 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $10 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day ■•■•■ 🌜OVERNIGHT STAY ONLY (UP TO 12 HOURS) $50 per night (For one night, for up to 2 pets) $10 extended care (Add up to 6 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 extended care (Add up to 3 additional hours of care for up to 2 pets, if needed) $5 per additional dog $1 per additional cat $10 weekend fee per day $15 holiday fee per day 🎉 HOLIDAYS New Year's Day Memorial Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) July 4th Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) Thanksgiving (Thu-Sun) Christmas Eve Christmas New Year's Eve 💛 FRIDAY SUNDOWN TO SATURDAY SUNDOWN I am not open between Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, but if you need someone to come care for your pet(s) and cannot find anyone else to do so and/or it’s a last-minute emergency situation, I will be more than glad to do so if I can. Just give me a call or quick text – no charge, no worries!🙂 In honor of Sabbath hours each week between Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, I do not charge my clients for any drop-in visits/walks or pet-sitting requests booked for these hours. === 🚩BOOKING & CANCELLATION POLICY Upon request, I will be as open and flexible as possible in providing services outside of the above-listed daily/weekly hours (as my schedule permits).

About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have spent years helping care for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Just let me know what times would work best for you! I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or while you’re away on vacation, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Rebecca is a very organized, detail oriented and warm person. She listened and took notes during our meet and greet session. Her interaction with A-Bu was wonderful. After the appointment, Rebecca sent us photos and videos, A-Bu looks like she was having fun running and playing with her.”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.

“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Johanny did a wonderful job caring for our Honey while we were on vacation. When we brought her there, her home was welcoming and set up to care for our dog. We received photos and videos. When we came to pick her up, she was shampooed, and even had a little bow in her hair. I would definitely leave our dog in her care again and highly would recommend her.”
“Bella is usually stressed whenever she stays away from home but she was fine when home She is easy to care for because she spends most of her time resting in the warmest place she can find but I appreciate the extra care to get her to eat”
“Theresa and her entire family have truly treated Sissy like family. Everything from drop off to pick up was easy and seamless. I have so much peace about leaving my dog for an entire week knowing how much she was going to be loved and cared for. We cannot thank you enough! Sissy loves you all!”
“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. This was our puppy’s first time away from home, and we were definitely nervous, but Michael made us feel so comfortable from the very first meet & greet. He sent pictures and updates every single day, which really put our minds at ease. When she unexpectedly started going into heat, Michael didn’t hesitate. He even bought diapers so we wouldn’t have to stress after getting back from the airport. That meant so much to us. She did great in his care. We’ll absolutely be booking with Michael again!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“thanks a million for your amazing care of my dog!!! Emanuel, made my time away stress-free, he sent me pictures an videos, making me feel that my dog was happy and in a safe place. thank you for your excellent service, we would definitely be back!!!”

“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Lori spoiled Trotsky during his stay. She was extremely loving and stayed in constant contact with us via text. She sent many photos of Trotsky while we were away, so we had nothing to worry about. I would recommend Lori 100% as a dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong dog lover with a soft spot for rescues and senior pups. I recently said goodbye to my own dog, Eric, a golden mix I rescued at one year old and was lucky to have for almost 15 years. Caring for him through every stage of life gave me deep experience, patience, and a genuine understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely care, never rushed or left alone for long stretches. I truly miss having a dog around for daily walks, company, and that quiet joy dogs bring to everyday life, and pet sitting has been a wonderful way to share that love again. I’m active and enjoy walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a relaxed stroll or something a bit more adventurous. I also volunteer with a nonprofit called Hauling Hopes, which has further strengthened my comfort with different dog personalities and needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, and I closely monitor behavior and wellbeing. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Missy was great with Meadow. She’s very responsive to messages. Meadow looked so happy in the pics. She came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Nissy and the other I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Kimberle was fantastic with our 2 dogs. This was their first stay away from home and she treated them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to soothe their nerves and provide a comfortable environment for them. Would recommend highly!”
“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”
“This is the second time we’ve left blue with Renata. She is well taken care of. She loves going over to hang out with Renata‘s dogs and Renata gives us plenty of updates and works with us. If we’re running late from returning from our trip, I would recommend her for anybody who has a large breed dog. Her dogs are well behaved and she knows what she’s doing!”
“Laura is a all around loving mother, she treated my Son (pet doggie) Noel as family. Her sensitivity and patience calmed my dog's separation anxiety. He adjusted easily, as her kids and husband showed him love and caring. She was a wonderful responsible boarder. I will definitely use her services again. My Heartfelt Thanks Again to Laura, her Husband and Kids. A Big Kiss from Noel to All. God Bless Always.”
