Dog Sitting Washington Crossing

“Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Harley throughout the day today. She was prompt and obviously very caring. I could not recommend Laura higher!”

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.

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.

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.

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: I have years of experience providing loving pet care for pets of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable with administering medication and providing specialized care for puppies and senior dogs Pet Care fits seamlessly into my daily routine by setting aside specific times for feeding, playing, and walks. I ensure that each pet receives specialized attention and feels apart of the family. Whether in my home or yours, safety is my top priority. I ensure a clean, secure environment and closely monitor pets to prevent any accidents. Regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection are integral to my care approach.

“Jeffrey was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. He did everything we asked and more. He came by for an orientation and was warm and gentle with the cats. He kept everything clean and truly cared about an appropriate environment for our cats. He visited twice in one day and heated up the cats' food, even though we did not ask. He sent photos and messages. We could not have been happier. Thank you, Jeffrey!”

About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.

“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!”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable feeding pets, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they stay on their normal routine while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I’ll always treat them with patience and care. I’m graduating high school this June and currently have a flexible schedule. I’m available after 3pm on weekdays and fully available on weekends for drop-in visits and pet care. Having my own car also allows me to be reliable and arrive on time for scheduled visits. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their animals and entering their home. I’m respectful, dependable, and pay close attention to routines and instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and stress free.

About: From the time I was young, I have always loved animals. When I was in high school, I would walk my elderly neighbors dogs after school and knew then that I would always want to help take care of animals. I have volunteered for several animal rescue organizations off and on for many years and I have also worked for other pet-sitting businesses. Now that I'm retired, I'm embarking on my own journey to provide high quality care for your pets in your home. I'm also available to provide transportation to and from your home to various appointments that your pet may have, such as grooming, veterinarian or daycare. I have recently retired from my full-time career and I'm now looking to fill my time taking care of other people's pets for them everyday. While walking your dog, I will make sure that he/she is safely secured by a leash and or harness. I am fully bonded and insured also.

“If you are looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about your loving family member then look no further Arassely is the person for the job! Our dog is nervous and Arassely help to make her feel comfortable and safe while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to all the animal lovers out there that are looking for peace of mind.”
