Dog Sitting Washington Crossing

About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have experience with small dogs and bigger dogs including a Rottweiler puppy of my own. I am very familiar with training, exercise needs, and keeping dogs happy and safe. I love working with dogs of all personalities and sizes and always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I am currently a nursing student at LaSalle University so weekends Thursday-Sunday are best for me until I am on break for the summer. I have a fenced in yard at home and one fur baby to keep your pups company. Typically, if there's a fence I like to let them run around freely, but at school my dog has to stay on leash so we go for lots of walks.

“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years and can provide a calm, loving and patient environment for your best friend. I have a large, grassy, fenced in yard for endless zoomies and we live very near trails and pathways for walks. I work very close to home and am currently part-time (6 hours) daily. I live independently and have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space and freedom. I am an early riser and love long walks in most weather. I have a large, fenced-in yard and live near multiple trails for long walks. If I am visiting your home I can spend extra time playing and hanging out with your best friend. I am experienced and confident in administering dog meds and caring for elderly dogs.

“Stephanie was excellent! I had to book last minute because my other Rover Sitter cancelled, and she was able to quickly make a stop in visit to meet my cat. I received pictures and updates about everything that was going on. It just made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing that I had someone as attentive as Stephanie watching my cat!”

“Patty was exceptional as a pet sitter for our three cats! She made sure everything was taken care of, followed our notes to a tee and even went above and beyond to do a few extra things! We would definitely hire her again in the future!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that pets are family. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have owned a Golden Retriever, yorkie, two Great Danes, and a pitbull. I am comfortable with everything from energetic exercise sessions to gentle care for smaller breeds. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I do work Monday through Friday from 9-1 which is about 15 minutes away from my house, but my hours are very flexible to where I can be home during the day. I have a fenced in yard, I have a pool if your dog is a water lover, lots of treats, I used to have many dogs but as of now I only have a yorkie in the house along with my two younger siblings who grew up with dogs and love dogs and my two parents.

“Giana always comes through in a pinch and follows instructions to a tee-i have three dogs with different needs and she was able to attend to all in a timely manner while being sure to go above and beyond and ask questions on where things were to clean messes. Thanks Gianna”

About: I have worked at animal shelter as the dog room manager for 4 years. Fostered and rehabilitated over a dozen dogs/cats. I love animals and creating meaningful connections with them. I am great at reading dog and cat body language and will always do my best to meet your pet’s personalized needs! I am a teacher who is off for the summer. I am incredibly flexible. During the school year I work part time and have a lot of availability as well. I am dedicated to maintaining the individualized schedule for every pet to ensure their care is as stress free as possible. I understand pets thrive with predictability and I am focused on creating a safe and predictable environment for them.

About: Hello! I've been pet sitting through Rover with my family since I was about six years old. I have had experience with all different types of breeds, personalities, and ages. I have two dogs of my own back at home, and would love to show your pet a bit of the love and care I can offer. I am currently a part-time worker, meaning a lot of my schedule is open and ready to take care of your dogs. I most free during the daytime throughout the week! I have had experience with all different types of breeds and personalities. In your home, I can provide whatever care is necessary for your dog to feel most comfortable!

About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.

“Bella and Charlie had an amazing time visiting with Jordan! Loved all the pictures she sent me of the pups!”

About: I’ve had multiple pets in the house my whole life. We currently have three dogs (German shepherds and a Rottweiler) and three cats. I love caring for animals of all sizes and ages. I have a full time job but flexible hours. I enjoy spending time outside and going for walks in my free time and bringing furry friends along. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed space, provide constant supervision, follow all care instructions closely, and ensure a calm, secure, and loving environment.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs—plus my own furry friend—I offer a deep understanding of pet needs and behaviors. Growing up with cats and looking after family dogs has given me valuable skills in providing loving, attentive care that ensures your pets feel happy and comfortable while you're away. I work from home Monday to Friday, allowing me to provide flexible day care for your pets. I’m also available for overnight stays on weekends with advance notice, ensuring your pets receive attentive care and companionship whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious apartment with ample room for your pet to explore and play. My friendly small dog is great with other pets, creating a welcoming environment where your furry friend will feel secure and at ease.

About: Growing up my family always had Labrador Retrievers. During high school and college breaks I fostered several groups of puppies. I have also dog and house sat over weekends when families what to take a short trip. With my own dogs and foster dogs I have working on many different skills from potty training to different commands. I am currently a graduate student at BU missing my family dog back in PA. Besides classes I don’t have many other commitments so my availability is pretty open and flexible for walks/dog sitting. I like to keep up with the daily routines the owner usually provides for their dog. If given instructions, I will follow all rules to make the dog and the owner as comfortable as possible during our walks or overnight stays.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with about 6 years of occasional experience helping family, friends, and private clients with dog sitting and house sitting. I offer overnight house sitting and drop-in visits, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, basic grooming, and giving medications when needed. I’ve cared for a range of dogs, from small terriers to larger breeds like Labs and Staffordshire/pit bull mixes, and I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and personalities. Along with pet care, I also help with light house tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping things tidy while you’re away. I currently have a mini lop bunny at home, so I’m also familiar with small animal care and the extra gentleness and attention they need. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I love being able to spend time with other people’s pets and give them attention and care while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, but I do work a full-time Monday–Friday job. I’m remote two days a week, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care during the workday when needed. For overnight stays, I can adjust my routine to stay in the home and make sure pets are kept on their normal schedule with consistent care and attention. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend care depending on what’s needed. I like to plan my time around the pet’s routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and not disrupted while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific house rules. I’m very mindful about safety. I make sure doors are secured, pets are supervised during walks, and nothing unsafe is left within reach. I also take care to keep the home clean and respectful, and I treat every home like it’s my own. If I’m doing overnight stays, I make sure pets feel comfortable and not alone, especially at night. I also stay attentive to any changes in behavior and communicate right away if anything seems off. With pets in general, I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always aim to make sure both the pets and the home are well cared for while owners are away.

About: I've been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I especially love dogs, and I am fascinated by their complex social lives. I've worked with animals during every stage of my life. In college, I watched after a farm and worked at a kennel. In grad school, I looked after dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. Since then, I've published a thesis project on conflicts between urban coyotes and domestic dogs. I worked for two years at a wolf sanctuary, and I'm currently looking for additional work to supplement my other forms of income. I understand dogs and cats from both evolutionary and behavioral perspectives. By now, research is unanimous that punishment creates anxiety and tense relationships between people and dogs. Positive reinforcement is effective and much more enjoyable for both dog and owner, so this is how I approach pet care. I love taking dogs on lengthy walks, and I'm happy to feed, walk, and house sit animals! I'm currently a professional writer. This is flexible work, so I can take on three to four walks a day. I am unavailable most weekends. When bringing a new animal to my home, I always introduce them to my dog, Mina, carefully. This means that I start with two people holding both animals on leashes. If the animals show no signs of aggression, I transition to a watch period. If this works, then I relax the rules a little. When I go to someone's house, I feel out the environment and take necessary precautions to keep all pets safe. I never assume that two strange animals will get along. My experience in the wildlife sanctuary world tells me that this can be very dangerous. Still, I am happy to carefully introduce my dog to yours if you think it might be a good fit. Playing animals burn far more energy than walking ones.
