Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wismer
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wismer
“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”
“Mariia was a wonderful sitter to my dog. She was kind and always very quick to respond to any questions I had. She truly cared for my dog and I could see in the photos she sent that my dog was happy when we were away. I will ask her to watch my dog again!”
“Katherine took great care of my dog Teddy, including administering meds, which he gave her a hard time taking. He was very happy making friends with other pups during his stay.”
“Audrey and Dan provided my 2 energetic labs with an stress-free, fun and loving environment while we were away. Our one lab is a rescue and can become quite anxious; Audrey and her family are very familiar with how fragile a rescue dog can sometimes be and they did a wonderful job helping him to be comfortable in their home, relax and have fun. You can tell right away that they love dogs!”
“Karma loved her stay and I feel it is her little vacation too. Know she is taken care of and spoiled. Always love seeing the pictures of her enjoying herself and updates daily.”
“I think Cricket misses the family!! Ceinwen was amazing, sent never ending pictures and videos which we NEEDED. Cricket was spoiled, and pampered 😅 We will never use anyone else!”
“Eunmi is an amazing sitter. I’m so happy I found her. My puppy loves going to her house and he looks so happy being with her in all the pics she sends me. Eunmi is a gem and will take excellent care of your dog. Highly recommended!”
“i can’t say enough about how wonderful bonnie & joseph are. as soon as you meet them, you know your pet will be taken care of & then some! our dog is a very finicky eater; when she wasn’t interested in the food we brought, bonnie & joseph stepped into action, sharing their own dogs food & even feeding ours by hand first, until she eased into eating out of a bowl. that’s what i call 5 star service! this was our first time using them & we will definitely be repeat customers🥰🐶”
“Thanks for taking great care of Pepper. I could tell that he felt 'at home' with you. Thank you also for regularly keeping us informed by sending pictures and updates.”
“Barbara really went the extra mile to make sure our dogs we’re cared for! She provided multiple updates a day and made sure they had plenty of play time. Definitely would recommend!”
“What a great experience with my first time using a dog sitter for my very laid back dog, Lucy! The family listened and understood exactly what Lucy needed to have a great time! She absolutely loved this family, & so did I. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed about leaving her in their care! We have already scheduled the next visit!”
“Emily was amazing with Maverick. We just moved to the area 2 weeks ago and Mav had never been with anyone but his original pet sitter in Florida. He immediately went to Emily and her dogs and felt at home. Thrilled to have found Emily and the Mav had a peaceful family weekend away! We will absolutely be using her again and again!”

Since I work from home when your dogs stay with me, they'll enjoy a structured yet flexible day tailored to their needs and energy levels. Regular photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing. I'm happy to adjust my schedule to match your dog's usual routine as closely as possible! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, supervised, and welcoming environment so you can feel confident while you are away. I work from home so your dog will rarely (if at all) be left alone I closely monitor all interactions between dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs. I take time to properly introduce dogs to make sure it's a good fit. I can separate dogs if needed for their safety, rest, or feeding. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your dog feels at home and you feel completely at ease.
“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Kristen was wonderful! You can tell right off the bat how much she loves and knows dogs. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She’s extremely responsive and sends pics and videos. My dog had a lot of fun playing with her dog Cashew and her adorable son. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kristen in the future!”
“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”

“Adrianna was great! She was able to get my shy kitties out of their shell a bit to say hello. Left very good notes and took lots of pictures. I’ll certainly be using her again.”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
About: Having two dogs since they were puppies and raising four cats has taught me a lot about animal behavior, patience, and daily care routines. I've experienced everything from the teething phase to handling older pets, all which have made me a confident and attentive care-giver for all kinds of pets. I'm currently a student in high-school so my a.m. time is limited. However, I am very much willingly to assist in after-school jobs and opportunities. I will happily take pets for walks for a desired amount of time and/or play with them. I also can participate in evening drop in's where I can refill water/food, let them outside for breaks, and clean any messes.
About: Growing up in a cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. I’ve handled cats of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair whom I adopted from a rescue when she was 6 months old. She grew up with big German Shepherds and finds herself very comfortable around dogs. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be where the people are. She looks like a plump raccoon, and spends most of her time perched cozily on the back of the sofa or sunbathing on the windowsill. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good, but overall he’s very chill for such a young boy. He’s currently snoozing next to my elbow on the kitchen table while I type this. I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel Baughman
“Talia treated Tiger (cat) like her own. She went out of her way to purchase pill pockets to make it easier to pill him, sent pictures/videos daily, and even left the home clean and tidy. I knew she went above and beyond by the pictures she sent—Tiger was cuddled up next to her so happy! I truly felt relief everyday knowing he was in caring hands. Tiger is a very anxious elderly cat; seeing him calm and happy by Talia’s side informed me that she took the extra time to make him feel comfortable. I absolutely recommend Talia for any pet needs!”
“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
About: Caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I understand their rhythms, respect their space, and love getting to know each one’s unique personality. When I was a kid, I would always take care of our next-door neighbors' cat whenever they went away. I loved every second of it, and I wished for a cat of my own, but allergies in our home made that impossible. Fast forward 30 years, and I've convinced my family to let me bring home a hypoallergenic cat. He’s been part of our household for about 7 months now, and I am his primary caretaker. I handle everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cuddles. He’s brought so much joy into our lives, and it feels like a full-circle moment from those early days as the neighborhood cat sitter.
“Juliette did a fabulous job caring for our 2 cats. She is very calm, friendly, and professional. Her expertise in caring for cats, especially diabetic cats and cats w medical needs, was so helpful. Our boys Peanut and Milo loved having Juliette take care of them. I would highly recommend Juliette!”
About: I have been taking care of cats for over 10 years now and have dealt with many types. Right now I have one 15 year old cat named Mittens who I’ve been taking care of for 10 years. Since she’s getting older, I have a lot of experience dealing with administering medications and managing different dietary needs for many types of cats. I also have years and years of experience with cleaning up accidents, throw up, and of course litter boxes. I love spending time with cats and brushing them, playing with their toys, or just cuddling!
“Val did a great job caring for our senior kitty! She visited him each morning, and didn’t just take care of his “food and box.” She played with him and had him engaging in toys and games he hasn’t enjoyed in a while. I will definitely contact Val first the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Ian was great with my cats. He communicated clearly and consistently, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He was very attentive and careful with them, making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of at all times. I would definitely recommend him and would happily book with him again. Thanks Ian!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so caring for pets truly feels second nature to me. I’m a proud dog mom to two beagle brothers, which means I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of sniffing, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I take the time to get to know their routines, quirks, and favorite things so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, your pet will be well cared for and spoiled just like my own. I currently work full time in Pipersville caring for dogs and am available on week days for walks and also available for in home check ins and in home boarding on the weekends! I have an amazing 3 1/2 year old little helper who is great with dogs! My daughter is normally with me on overnights and walks, so child friendly is a must! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat your home with respect as if it were my own. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.
About: I have a strong background caring for dogs and I am also very comfortable around cats, with a few years of experience watching them. I understand that each cat has its own personality and routine, and I’m attentive to their individual needs: whether that’s playtime, feeding schedules, or giving them space. I’m patient, gentle, and reliable, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wismer
“Veronika was so wonderful! After the first day, Tucker was so excited to go back and play. It was comforting to know he wasn't alone and had fun while I was at work. Thank you so much!”
“Melvin has stayed with Jason several times. His tail wags as he goes into his house. He comes home totally pooped out. It is always a very positive experience.”
About: Me and my family have been around dachshunds for over 10 years. A little biased, but would love to share the love to other dogs! I currently work from home and take my dog out regularly throughout the day. She gets breakfast and dinner and her monthly medications. She gets too much attention, but that’s our fault:) I have a back fenced in porch that I have a grassy area for my dog to relieve herself, as well as an unfenced front yard. If the front yard were to be used, we keep our dog on the leash for safety. Our stairs are gated to prevent any injuries.
“I'm grateful we found Vanda! I worry about taking my dog to daycare because he's young, energetic and big, and can be too much for some people and some dogs. He's my big baby! But Vanda's got a great understanding of dog behavior and knowing what they need at different moments of the day. When to let them play and when to give them space/rest. I appreciate her clear communication and the photos/videos she sent me throughout the day. Nami had fun and we'll be back for sure.”
“My dogs absolutely loved Heather & had a great time! She took very great care of them, and I believe her daughter helped out, as well. I will definitely be using Heather again!!😊”

About: I have been neighbor hood babysitter and pet sitter since I was 8 years old. Always be responsible and trustworthy. Treat your property and pets as if they were my own. Animals can't speak for themselves so we must be their voice. I work for myself and have flexible schedule. My business is slow right now an I love animals so it will help me cope an offer best care for those who want the best for their loved pets! Animals are the world to me wish I could have more but I rent. I am allowed to have animals over for few days at a time as long as it's not permanent. Perfect for everyone as your pets will be loved as much if not more then expected. I am a serious animal lover and the care I provide will be noticed. Sometimes people say their dogs not friendly yet ends up loving me regardless of what they say or have experienced with other. Kinda like snow white when it comes to all animals. Recently got 2 rabbits who were dumped and new experience. Amazing to love such small creatures
“Brooke did a great job. After we dropped our dog off with her, he started to bark. This is very unusual so she gave us a call to let us know. She handled the situation very well while still taking care of an infant and the day went on with no more issues. Would highly recommend Brooke and would use her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient with young dogs, attentive with older pets, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend quality time with pets instead of just stopping by quickly. I also have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly small dogs that can keep your pet company if they enjoy being around other dogs. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and would love to help care for your pet any day of the week, whenever you need. I have a fenced-in backyard with a pool and two friendly small dogs who love to play and keep other pups entertained. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they stay active, happy, and well cared for.
“My pup was well taken care! Mikaila took very good care of my senior guy! She is very responsible and learns in advance all the needs! Will definitely bring my pup again!! Very recommended”
“Claire was amazing with our puppy Ozzy! He was so excited to see Claire every morning and she took such good care of him. We will definitely be using Claire again any time we need a sitter in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of my own pets since I was a small child. I have remote experience with reptiles. I am more comfortable with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I am a human nurse and can administer medications. I know how much we love our pets, so your pet will be MY pet while in my care! I am currently working every other weekend, and I am home during the week. I have a pretty open schedule and can be available for your pets needs! I have a large yard that is partially fenced in. The unfenced part is overgrown with tall vegetation. I have a smaller yard on the side that is fully fenced in. I have an 8lb shihpoo who loves to run and play and 2 cats who will just stay out of the way. We have multiple rooms and floors and can keep animals seperate if needed.

“I can’t recommend Suneetha enough. She was so accommodating with a last minute request over Christmas! We were in such a bind. On top of that she kept in close communication and sent so many pictures and videos giving me updates. The communication and flexibility and kindness was so amazing! 12/10”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.
About: How I can be your pets next favorite friend is my strong background in working with dogs, especially when it comes to basic training like sit, stay, lay down, etc. to even teaching some fun, playful tricks! I focus on making every visit engaging and positive to help reinforce good behavior while keeping your dog happy and active. While dogs are my specialty, I’m always happy to care for cats too with the same level of love, patience, and attention. Taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve got a dog of my own, so things like walks, training, and playtime are already part of my routine. I genuinely love being around animals, and I’m hoping to turn that passion into a full-time career one day. Pet sitting, or even just being around animals gives me a chance to do what I enjoy while gaining more experience with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, where there’s plenty of room to play and relax. I have both a front and back yard for outdoor time, and while they aren’t fenced, I always use heavy-duty tethers and stay close by to keep things safe. Inside, there’s lots of cozy space and available crate room if your pet is used to having their own spot. Your pet will also have the chance to hang out with my own small, friendly dog if they enjoy some company! I make sure every pet feels at home, gets lots of attention, and stays on their usual routine as much as possible. When caring for your pet at your home, I’ll always follow your instructions and any special routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to stick to their usual schedule and habits so they experience as little disruption as possible. Plus, I bring extra pet supplies with me whether it’s toys, bowls, or anything else needed to ensure your pet has everything they need while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for my own pets and my neighbors’ pets since I was a kid. I’m a certified veterinary technician and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve spent over two years giving dogs lots of love and personalized care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or medication. I am in college and I work, but I am always ready to work around it. I’m available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Thursday after 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays all day, and Sundays before 12 and after 5. I care for both cats and dogs with safety, patience, and respect for their individual needs. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and litter box or potty schedules. For dogs, I focus on leash handling, safe play, and proper supervision. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, clean litter boxes, and playing if they’d like. I keep pets in safe, clean spaces, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ian is fantastic! Lovely, kind, responsive, and thoughtful. It such a relief knowing my Elsie is in good hands during the day and even in spontaneous emergencies. Can’t recommend enough!”
About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goat, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently switching to working 2 part time jobs 7 days a week to only working 1 of those jobs maybe 2-3 days a week so I'm looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry best friends and probably working more at the horse farm too. My schedule for work is made at least a month in advance and I don't work weekends since I work for a dental office so I have some free time to do this now. Looking to walk your dog, drop in on your cats/dogs while you're away and maybe open to short overnight stays in your home if I can arrange for my own doggie to be taken care of because he gets really lonely and upset if I'm not home at night, otherwise I'd have it on my profile that I was available for that too. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.
About: I've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.
“I can’t recommend Simone enough! She put me at ease while I was working a 24-hour shift at the hospital, with great communication about how she and Calvin were getting along. Calvin can be nervous around people new to him, but Simone was great with him and allowed him to warm up to her at his speed :) I look forward to having Simone watch Calvin much more this winter. She even managed to capture sweet photos of Calvin; he’s never as photogenic for me! ☺️. Thank you Simone for taking such great care of my main squeeze.”
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.
About: My goal is always to make pets feel loved and owners feel at ease, knowing their animals are cared for like my own. I understand the structure and attention that animals need, as well as the reliability and communication that owners need to leave their pets with someone else. I've worked with dogs that are active and needy, as well as shy and nervous. Nothing makes me happier than gaining an animal's trust by offering calm, dependable care they need to feel safe. I'm especially experienced with high-energy dogs, large breeds, seniors, and multi-pet households with multiple requirements/schedules. I'm self-employed and work virtually, so I’m flexible. Still, I treat pet sitting as a full-time job, as I’m extremely attentive to pets when they're in my care. In my home or yours, their needs are my first priority. I'll always keep your pets on the same routine they’re used to, giving them consistency and belly rubs while you're away. Pets are always supervised closely, whether we're on a walk, inside, or playing in the yard. Boarding in my home includes potty breaks, sniffing, and playing in a half-acre fenced yard (~4 feet high) as needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds to get comfy. They will receive my full attention, whether that's playing, cuddling, etc. My friendly dogs can keep yours company, but I also have a separate room if they prefer to be alone or want breaks. My two cats are kept separately from dogs and visitors. In your home, I'll follow your instructions and routine. I can drop in for playtime, meals, walks, or overnight care. When house sitting, I am with your pets overnight and most of the day. I'll always keep things tidy and respect your privacy and belongings.
About: Hello! My name is Katerina. I have experience with small and large breeds. Growing up, our family had a Great Dane! In my single years, I cared for a beloved Jack Russel terrier from when she was an energetic pup until nearly 17. Currently, I live with my husband Seth and our two daughters, ages 11 and 13. Our little homestead includes a few chickens, a busy hive, and a cat whom we adopted five years ago. We are considering adopting a dog to keep our chickens safe from predators and to be a hiking companion in our travels. I am a full time homemaker and homeschooling parent. My schedule is very flexible. My days include educating my daughters ages 11 and 13 and running a small homestead of a few chickens, bees, and a cat. I love hiking at Ringing Rocks, Lake Nockamixon, and Delaware River canal towpath. Your dog would be a welcome companion on the hikes! If you have a senior dog, he will receive plenty of loving attention and companionship in our home. Our small homestead offers privacy and space for play and running. Your dog may enjoy cooling off in the creek that runs through the property. We live near Delaware canal towpath and Nockamixon state park. Both places offer excellent hiking and walking options for dogs!
“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan!! She is such a kind person! My dog waits for her to come for her daily walks!! My dog is the happiest when she sees Morgan’s car coming down the road!!! I honestly can’t control her excitement just waiting for Morgan to get to the door! I have had many sitters in Rover and she is truly the best!!”
About: I been fostering and caring for kittens/cats for many years. I also have 4 cats of my own. I absolutely adore all animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very open to being available on my lunch breaks during work, week nights and weekends. I try and be as flexible as possible when I can be. I will give them tons of attention and love - whatever is needed to make them happy and feel loved. I'm happy to follow any rules and instructions you give for them. I know how important it is to keep our fur babies loved and happy :)
“Alexandra has been wonderful with Remi. They have adjusted well to each other. Remi looks forward to her walk and it has helped her be more calmer. Would recommend Alexandra to anyone considering a Dog Walker, pet sitting. Etc….we will be using her for pet sitting for our next trip. 💕”
About: I have been petsitting for my friends and neighbors for over 10 years now, and have dealt with many different breeds. Im a naturally very energetic person so I love to take dogs on walks/runs and play out in the yard or house with them! I have experience with different dietary needs and administering different medications for both dogs and cats. I have experience with small animals as well- I took care of 3 guinea pigs for 6 years until they passed away. I just finished my freshman year of college but Im taking a gap year to work and travel more, so I have lots of free time to pet sit! I currently only work part time so there are plenty of days where I would like to spend my time pet sitting. I only have one cat in my house so there is plenty of room for other cats or dogs to make themselves at home. My yard is mostly fenced in, but not al the way so I would need to keep any dogs on a leash if I let them out back. However, I am able to take dogs in my car to and from places like the park! I can also easily keep any pets in a crate at my house if needed. I am very attentive to animals and will without a doubt give your pets the attention they deserve and more!!

I have a 2.5 year old yellow lab to keep your furr baby entertained. I have lots of doggy toys for entertainment as well.

“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Jason was attentive and attuned to Fennel and sent us lots of pictures across his extended weekend stay. He has a lovely house and wonderful large fenced yard for the pups to play in. We’d board Fennel again with him next time we fly out of Newark!”
“Audrey and Dan provided my 2 energetic labs with an stress-free, fun and loving environment while we were away. Our one lab is a rescue and can become quite anxious; Audrey and her family are very familiar with how fragile a rescue dog can sometimes be and they did a wonderful job helping him to be comfortable in their home, relax and have fun. You can tell right away that they love dogs!”
“I think Cricket misses the family!! Ceinwen was amazing, sent never ending pictures and videos which we NEEDED. Cricket was spoiled, and pampered 😅 We will never use anyone else!”

“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”
“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”
“Our pup had a great daycare day with Kathleen. She played in the yard, went for a walk, and got plenty of tummy rubs. Kathleen was so friendly, genuinely likes dogs, and was extremely communicative before and during the daycare day”
“Kim was fantastic! So good about sending pictures and videos. Took my dog on sooo many walks and always ensured he was having a good time playing. 100% recommend her!!”
“Cindy was so great and attentive to Maggie! She took care of her even while she was sick. She out me at ease having to leave while Maggie was feeling under the weather. She was able to give Maggie meds and kept me updated the whole time. I would definitely leave Maggie with her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vanda! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear our dog Earl was well cared for and given lots of attention and playtime. Vanda’s backyard was a dogs dream play space, and he especially had fun with the other pups there. We really appreciated the updates and felt completely comfortable knowing he were in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and easy to work with. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Was so happy to know that my dogs were taken such good care of for two weeks over the holidays. Marla sent pictures everyday and was very responsive! Will definitely return for my next trip.”
“Melissa and Dan were great while I was in the hospital for two days and an overnight. They truly went above and beyond to keep my toy poodle Charlie feeling secure and comfortable. Dan walked her according the the schedule she was used to and even let her sleep on his chest when she was missing her mom too much to stay in the crate overnight. I can't say enough how grateful I am for their attention and sensitivity to her needs. And for all the photo updates. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for boarding Charlie.”
