House Sitting Woodside

“Someone who is on time, tires my boy out with walks and play, and makes my boy feel comfortable enough to take a nap is a five star for me. My dog’s anxiety can be a lot at times. However having him feel comfortable enough to take a nap and not waiting at the door when I get back in my book is huge.”

About: Hello! I’m an active, reliable pet lover split between Yardley, PA and Mount Laurel, NJ. Because I frequent both areas, I am thrilled to offer flexible dog walking, drop ins, and overnight stays in both neighborhoods! My absolute specialty is large, high energy, and senior working breeds. I am a proud dog mom to two Siberian Huskies: a sweet 12 year old senior who I have raised since she was a puppy, and a vibrant 9 month old. Having lived with huskies means I am deeply familiar with the unique needs of both ends of the age spectrum. I know exactly how to give a senior dog the gentle patience, slow pace, and joint awareness they need, while also knowing how to safely handle the high energy, strength, and enthusiasm of a young, growing pup. Safety is my number one priority. Having raised natural escape artists, I am hyper vigilant about secure harnesses, double checking gate latches, and maintaining total control on walks. Whether your dog needs a high energy power walk or a gentle, slow paced potty break with lots of love, I treat every furry client like one of my own. I provide dedicated overnight stays, morning routines, and evening companionship. My daytime schedule is flexible, but clients should note that I do not offer 24-hour constant care unless requested. I step out during standard midday blocks for errands and client walks, so your pup should be comfortable resting independently for typical 4 to 5-hour increments. Safety and building a foundation of trust are my absolute top priorities when caring for your pet. 🏡 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): I respect your space and treat your home with the utmost care and security. My routine focuses heavily on maintaining your pet's precise daily schedule. I closely follow all instructions regarding exact feeding measurements, medication timing, and household rules. Because I am an independent contractor, my daytime schedule allows for excellent flexibility. —- 🦮 Out on Walks (Leash Safety): Having raised and managed Siberian Huskies for over a decade, I am a specialist in large breeds, strong pullers, and natural escape artists. Because of this, my safety protocols are strictly non-negotiable: • The Two-Finger Rule: I physically check that all collars and harnesses are perfectly snug before unlocking the front door. • Body-Blocking Doors: I always use my body weight to block open entries, doorways, or backyard gates to prevent any bolting behaviors. • Zero Stranger Interactions: To eliminate unpredictable variables, I practice a strict 1-on-1 walking policy. I do not permit client dogs to greet strange dogs or people on public sidewalks. —- 📞📷 You can count on frequent, detailed text updates and photo reports during every single booking to give you complete peace of mind while you are away!

“Thank you for watching our puppy and his big brother ! Appreciate how flexible you were when our flight was delayed and all the photos you sent”

About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.

“Pierce did a great job watching our dogs overnight in our home! He was comfortable with them even though they can be rambunctious and he left our house very neat and tidy.”

“Gianna was great with Indie! Our energetic dog can be a handful, and Gianna went above and beyond with her! She provided plenty of feedback and pictures while I was gone, and I felt totally at ease with Gianna watching our pup!”

“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”

“Pat has developed a great relationship with Henry and took him on a very lengthy walk. It’s great knowing that Henry is getting attention and exercise while I’m gone.”

About: I began volunteering at my local shelter when I was 11, eventually becoming an employee and working there all the way through college. I also worked at several barns and vet clinics, so I have extensive experience with just about every creature there is. While I’ve never had professional training, I’ve assisted and administered all types of medication, performed basic first aid and provided sub q fluids, so if your pet needs a bit more care, I may be able to help! I’ve been though kidney disease and cancer with my own crew, so I know how important it is to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I’m currently establishing my own pet memorial business so I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pet(s)! I’m happy to travel to you and provide any walks, attention or care your pet may need. At my own home I have a large yard and live on a private street so I can easily accommodate leashed outdoor time.

About: Hi, I’m Lorie. I offer dog walks, drop-ins for dogs and cats, and overnight care in your home around Doylestown and Furlong. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, following detailed feeding routines, and giving oral medication as directed. For cat visits, I take care of food, fresh water, and litter, then let your cat decide whether it’s time to play or have some quiet company. I’ll send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing. Message me with your dates and a little about your pet so we can set up a Meet & Greet. I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for most of my life, with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs through every stage of life. They were truly part of my family, and I understand the love, patience, consistency, and responsibility that quality pet care requires. I’ve also cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding schedules and established care routines, providing exercise and playtime, and offering the affection and companionship pets need to feel comfortable while their families are away. Caring for others comes naturally to me. Whether your pet enjoys an active walk, playful attention, or quiet company, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. I keep my bookings manageable so each pet receives attentive, dependable care. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, overnight pet care, and house sitting in your home, including evenings and weekends. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine consistent, your home respected, and your mind at ease while you’re away. Now that I’m back home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, my flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including daytime visits, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting in your home, including overnight stays. For nearby clients, I can arrange multiple daily visits to help maintain their pets’ usual feeding, walking, and bathroom routines. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs and confirm visit times before each booking so you know what to expect. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept so each pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether you need regular help or care while you’re away, my goal is to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, and settled into a familiar routine. Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and can continue the routines they’re familiar with. I believe staying in their own environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel secure while you’re away. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions. I also understand that trusting someone with both your home and your beloved pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor plants, rotate lights, and take care of the little details that help keep your home looking lived in while you’re away. I know it’s often the small things that provide the greatest peace of mind. My goal is simple: for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and complete confidence that everything was looked after just as you would have wanted.

“This was our first time using Rover for our boys and we could not be happier with the service we received from Helen. From the moment we met her we new she would be the right fit for our dogs. Helen would send us daily pictures or videos of our dogs and we could see they were happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her!”

“I will begin with my last paragraph: I highly recommend Vanessa as a pet sitter and would absolutely have her care for my dogs again. I feel very comfortable knowing that they—and my home—are in her hands. If you need more information, read on! I reached out to Vanessa to pet-sit in my home, including overnight stays, for three days. Given her background working at the EASEL shelter and her interest in special education and social work, I thought she would be an especially good fit for my two dogs: my eight-year-old, 80-pound poodle mix and my four-month-old, 15-pound Miniature American Shepherd puppy.
 I was somewhat anxious about leaving a young puppy with a sitter. At four months old, puppies are still learning, and I knew that inconsistent handling could easily lead to the development of unwanted habits. From our very first meeting, however, Vanessa gave me confidence that my dogs were in good hands.
 At our Meet & Greet, my large poodle mix approached Vanessa with his big, loud, deep bark. It was the first time he had ever met her and she handled the introduction beautifully. Rather than immediately trying to engage with him, she remained calm and allowed him the time and space to figure out that she was not a threat. She didn't overreact or become nervous, and the interaction went very well.
 When she met the puppy, who immediately started jumping on her, I said, "Off," at the same moment Vanessa said, "Down." She immediately adjusted and began using "Off" as well. That small moment told me a lot. It was clear that she was paying attention to the puppy's development and understood how important consistency is when training a young dog. She listened carefully to my concerns and gave me thoughtful feedback, which reassured me that she truly understood what I was looking for.
 While I was away, Vanessa sent me pictures and videos of the dogs eating both breakfast and dinner. This was especially reassuring with a four-month-old puppy because it confirmed that they were being fed at the appropriate times. I trust the sitters I hire, but I also appreciate having confirmation that they've arrived and knowing that important parts of the dogs' routine are being followed. I've had sitters in the past who didn't provide that kind of communication, leaving me wondering whether they had arrived or whether something unexpected had prevented them from getting there. A simple picture or message eliminates that unnecessary anxiety for me, and Vanessa was excellent about keeping me informed.
 After I returned, I asked Vanessa if she would be willing to sit again in a couple of weeks. She adjusted her schedule to accommodate my dates, which I thought was incredibly considerate and definitely above and beyond the call of duty!
 As I watched Vanessa interact with the dogs after spending three days with them, I could see that she understood the importance of correcting the puppy when necessary and, just as importantly, knew how to do it appropriately. She didn't overreact, but she also didn't let things slide. She was consistent about using the correct commands, which is particularly important with a puppy who is learning what is expected of her. I now have a list of obedience commands that I can leave for Vanessa on her next visit, and I have complete confidence that she will use them consistently.
 When I returned home, I found the house exactly as I had left it. Vanessa had even stripped the bed in the guest room, making it easier for me to wash the sheets. That small gesture was another example of how thoughtful and considerate she was throughout her stay.
 Vanessa is attentive, thoughtful, responsible, and genuinely caring. She clearly understands dogs, but what impressed me most was her attentiveness to my puppy's development and her willingness to follow through consistently with the training and routines I had established.
 I highly recommend Vanessa as a pet sitter and would absolutely have her care for my dogs again. I feel very comfortable knowing that they—and my home—are in her hands.”

“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”

About: Here’s a more personal version that highlights your experience with dogs: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Sophia, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with them. I’m caring, responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or just looking for some extra attention and cuddles. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated along the way so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! It fits into my weekly routine because I like staying active and seeing animals during the week and enjoy taking walks with the dogs it is very fun and every dog is so adorable. I care for my own three dogs by walking them at least twice a day so they can get their exercise and enjoy the fresh air because there is nothing they get more excited for than a walk.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was in elementary school. We have 5 cats and 5 dogs of our own. I am a certified foster for the SPCA and several other rescues. I take medical cases and am comfortable giving medicines. All ages of pets and needs welcome! Pets are my number 1 priority. I make my schedule around the pets I am caring for! I treat them like my own and their needs come first ! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard and take dogs into my own when needed. Otherwise I watch dogs in their own environment to make them as comfortable as possible when their owners are away.

“Our dogs instantly fell in love with Kelsey. And she was wonderful with our pups as well! While away, Kelsey sent daily photos and kept the house very clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Kelsey. My pups can’t wait to see her again!”
