“William and Kristen took EXCELLENT care of our dog Max. Their fenced in yard is huge, they walked Max daily, gave him his pills at night. The family dog Rooney is awesome-Max enjoyed his time with him. Also they sent several photos throughout his stay...Thank you so much!”
“We’ve used Chonlada and family for two separate weeks this summer to watch our Frenchie. Our dog Gus is so well taken care of and has such a fun time with her dog. Chonlada is very responsive/communicative and caring. Absolutely recommend and we will be booking with her and her family again in the future!”
“Maranda was awesome with our dog! She was very accommodating and shared plenty of pictures, details, and stories throughout Taco's stay. Would gladly book with her again.”

“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Wendy was great with Maverick, she opened her whole house to him. She has a fenced in yard, which is great for an explorer like Maverick. He was immediately comfortable and I know he was in good hands. He chewed some of her personal items and she wasn’t bothered by it. Wendy and her husband clearly care about the dogs they care for. Wendy also sent pictures every day. Maverick didn’t want to leave.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Chip. She kept me posted on how she was doing and sent pictures of Chip racing around her large fenced-in back yard. I will definitely be using Amanda again.”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Diego & Amelia are fantastic! They provided pictures every day of our pup, including pictures of her sunbathing with their two dogs, who are absolutely adorable. They responded quickly to an adjustment request for pickup time, as well, which we greatly appreciated. Our dog is such a happy girl after spending time with them. This was the longest we have ever been away from our pup and their updates made us feel so at ease.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had seven dogs and six cats, so caring for pets was a part of my everyday life. From feeding and grooming to playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention, I learned early on what it takes to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for mice, turtles, and fish, giving me experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I’ve always had pets throughout my life, and caring for animals has never felt like a chore, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I also spend time feeding and observing backyard birds, which reflects my love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or another beloved pet, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Although I have an unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. We also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walks and exercise. If your pet is crate trained or you prefer they be crated when unattended or at bedtime, I’m happy to accommodate that routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own.
“Kristin is great! Her house was well kept, with a nice backyard for playtime. Her pets made great companions and she took great care of my pup. She'll be my first choice next time I need someone to watch him.”
“Rachel is the absolute BEST. Our dog loves her. She sends incredible updates and she is so kind. Our pup had a bellyache going into a 10 day trip overseas and I was very stressed about leaving him. Rachel assured me he would be fine and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and provided updates on his status. She is honestly incredible.”
“Dolly is wonderful with my dog Roxy. She takes off a long walks football games and sends me regular pictures and updates. Doesn’t she remembers to give her her medicine Roxy comes back home happy and healthy.”
“We’d book again with Aimee in a heartbeat. We had an awesome experience. She watched our pup while I was recovering from surgery out of state and made everything so easy for us. Communication was effortless and prompt at every step. We arranged to have Aimee pick up our gal from a friend who had been watching her at first before having to head out of town. Pickup was seamless and made things so much easier for us and our friend. She sent us lots of updates—and a few really made us laugh. Aimee even took the time to brush her thick wooly coat after we apologized for her wild hair since her usual grooming appointment fell during the visit. When we picked up our pup, our gal was calm and happy. She also had everything packed up and ready to go when we got there, once again making it such an easy process. From the pictures she sent, it was so clear that Aimee and her husband made our dog part of their family while she was with them and that our dog had a blast.”
“I’ve used this dog sitter twice for extended trips, and both experiences were wonderful. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and my pup was happy, well cared for, and comfortable each time. I returned home to a relaxed, healthy dog and couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

“Need a cat sitter? If so, Melodi is your woman. She cares about your pet and home, sending wonderful updates. She was also familiar with my cat’s meds and how to handle her shy personality. I’ve used her 3 years in a row and wouldn’t want anyone else.”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
“Brianna took great care of our kitties. She watched our house and kitties for a little over a week. She went out of her way to reassure one of skiddish ones (Colorado) and well as giving belly pets and treats. Very professional, took pictures, great communicator. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Natalie did an amazing job of doing drop-in visits for my two cats while I was away on vacation. She made sure they were well taken care of and sent a ton of photos. She went above and beyond making my cats feel comfortable and happy. She even got my shy cat to come out for her! Thank you Natalie!!! 😁”
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachael to check in on my two cats every day while I was away for 10 days. She’s super communicative and reliable and I would recommend to her anyone and be so happy to work with her again.”
“Julain is AMAZING! He took such good care of my little one and sent tons of photos. I’ve had my friends sit Horus before and honestly he was WAY happier with Julain. I honestly noticed a difference when I came back. He wasn’t as upset with me for leaving and seemed calm, he really liked him. Anyways you won’t regret hiring him at all, truly a pleasure and a really nice guy in general.”
About: My family rescued our cat Suma from the SPCA, and caring for her has given me hands-on experience with daily cat care and understanding feline behavior. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I provide calm, reliable visits with feeding, litter box cleaning, attention, and playtime based on each cat’s personality and needs.
“Valerie was wonderful with my cat! My friend recommended her to me when I needed an overnight sitter at the last minute, and luckily Valerie was available. She was kind to work with and took notes on Momo’s care which I appreciated. My first experience on Rover was a good one because of her! 10/10 recommend”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Sophia is a very dependable, professional, pet sitter- she ensures each of my pets are given attention and love during visits. She has so much knowledge and experience with all types of animals- I felt at ease leaving my fur babies in her capable hands.”
About: I've always loved animals and felt drawn to them! I've been around animals my entire life, I grew up with cats and dogs (over the years I've had 7 cats and 3 dogs!) and been around other people's pets. Throughout high school I pet sat for friends and family and loved it. I especially love cats. My cat Zoe I've had since I was 5 and I have always felt very connected to her. I also have a Garfield obsession (even have a tattoo of him)!

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“You can tell that Maranda is very attentive and cares about the pooches, and Benny loves her! She has a big backyard with lots of playthings that dogs can run around in, especially with all the snow! Other customers appear to like her too since there have another dog or three that she’s watching whenever I drop Benny off. I like that Benny can play with other dogs (and her daughters!) without the chaos of a commercial daycare center. Maranda also sends pictures throughout the day which put my concerned parent heart at ease. I booked daycare with Maranda twice last week and dropped off Benny again today. Five star complements and no complaints. Chalk me up as a returning client.”
“Diego and Amelia took excellent care of my dog. His tail wags every time he sees them! They are friendly, reliable, and great at communicating. I highly recommend them.”
“Hollie was amazing taking care of Lucy! She was so attentive and sweet with her, and kept us updated with photos throughout the day. We could tell Lucy felt very comfortable, safe, and happy with her. When we went to pick her up, Lucy was so excited and happy, and she kept giving Hollie kisses almost like she wanted to show us how much she liked her! It made us feel so good knowing she had such a great time and was so well cared for. We would absolutely bring Lucy back and highly recommend Hollie!”
“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”

“By the pictures alone, Ralph seems to have loved it. When we made it home, it was nice to know he was able to relieve himself while we were both unable to do so due to a strange glitch in our schedules. JEN WAS GREAT! Her communication was perfect, she was as very attentive and made me feel at ease from close to 100 miles away from home.”

About: I grew up surrounded by farms and stray cats having babies on my porch that we would often take in. Most of the time my childhood home was full of 2 border collie dogs and 4-6 adopted cats. I have had my own cat for 3 years who I rescued (he has one eye and is the Cutest boy) and all my siblings have dogs and cats that I’m constantly loving like human nieces and nephews. Friends and neighbors have always regarded me as an animal lover and someone who is good with animals. I seem to attract them wherever I go! I am a professor so my schedule is flexible. All week days and weekends work for me. During the weekdays I am most available in the mornings and evenings. I am very respectful of everyone’s homes and their rules. I am good with details and feel comfortable following directions and wishes of any client.
About: I have taken care of dogs since high school. I graduated college in 2023 with a degree in Health Sciences.

I am always willing to accommodate you and your dogs needs and I will always care for them like they are my own! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am a home body, so I am always at home and also have my mom and grandmom in the home to help if need be. In a clients home, I will leave it completely up to you, how I walk, feed, crate, etc. your dog. But I will always care for your dog as if they were my own! For pet sitting at my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I usually walk the dogs on leashes around my yard or take them to the park by my house to walk them. I can crate them anywhere in the home if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys/crates/ dog accessories from my own dog.

About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!
About: Ever since I was a little girl I had dogs in my life! I grew up with two little west highland white terriers who were the most energetic loving dogs I could ask for as a kid. Later we welcomed our golden-doodle into our family who has protected us and made us laugh everyday! He’s now 10 years old! For about six years dog sat for a neighbor who had a boxer and English bulldog. I dog walked and house sat for three summers for a goldendoodle and for three years dog sat for lab/mutt mix, two pugs and a cat. I also take care of my sisters two Rhodesian ridgebacks one who is 6 years old and one 5 month old as well as my other sisters golden retriever who is 5 months old. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I remember and every day they show me what it’s like to be loved. I am taking some time off before starting Physician Assistant school, so I have a good amount of time throughout the week to take care of your pets! I am very in tune with my dogs needs at home and love just spending time with whether it’s relaxing in the couch, going for walks or sitting in the grass. I understand some dogs may need to be crated or if there is no fenced in yard, they need to be leashed when outside. I can accommodate any need for your pets in your home!

I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.

“William and Kristen took EXCELLENT care of our dog Max. Their fenced in yard is huge, they walked Max daily, gave him his pills at night. The family dog Rooney is awesome-Max enjoyed his time with him. Also they sent several photos throughout his stay...Thank you so much!”
“Maranda was awesome with our dog! She was very accommodating and shared plenty of pictures, details, and stories throughout Taco's stay. Would gladly book with her again.”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Five stars is not enough for Benjamin! He, and his beautiful family (of humans and dogs) went over and above to take care of our golden retriever, Soda. When we went for our meet and greet we didn’t want to leave. Their fenced in yard and the welcoming kind vibe made Soda and me (her human) feel instantly comfortable and at ease. Benjamin sent photos and videos of her girl having the time of her life while we were away almost 2 weeks. And he managed to get her in the car to go back and forth which is no small task since Soda is terrified of the car. All of this incredible kindness and professionalism took place under extraordinary circumstances since their family was going through major things at the time. We are so grateful to have found him and will definitely be grateful to be able to work with them again. I am always nervous to leave our precious girl, so rest assured, you will be in tbe best of hands if you choose Benjamin.”
“Wendy was great with Maverick, she opened her whole house to him. She has a fenced in yard, which is great for an explorer like Maverick. He was immediately comfortable and I know he was in good hands. He chewed some of her personal items and she wasn’t bothered by it. Wendy and her husband clearly care about the dogs they care for. Wendy also sent pictures every day. Maverick didn’t want to leave.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“This was our second time boarding our doodle with Thalita and our dog was truly so excited to be reunited her and her family. We can’t recommend Thalita enough! So thankful to have found her as a safe, fun and comfortable place for our pup to stay”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Lynda is an excellent dog-sitter! She was so great to deal with- responsive, communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up times. You can definitely see how much Lynda loves dogs. Our dog is the anxious type, but Lynda worked really well with him. Thanks so much for your excellent care of Rosco!”

“Manu and Dhruv were wonderful! They treated our Milo as if he was one of their own. From the moment we met them we knew our dog was in the best hands as they welcomed him into their home with open arms. During the two nights that he was there we received many picture updates with him looking happy as ever. We are so grateful for their kindness not only to our dog, but to us as well. We could not recommend them enough!”
“Tina was absolutely awesome with our high-energy Goldendoodle Rusty. Rusty spent 5 days with Tina and family while we were away in Florida. She took excellent care of him - he loved racing around her yard, playing with her kids and being a new member of Tina’s family. The pictures she sent daily of Rusty proved that he was having just as an amazing vacation as we were!”
“I’ve used this dog sitter twice for extended trips, and both experiences were wonderful. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and my pup was happy, well cared for, and comfortable each time. I returned home to a relaxed, healthy dog and couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
