House Sitting in Yerkes

“Tim is by far the best dog sitter we have ever had watch our girl. We have a 4 year old ridgeback who is a bit anxious and we’re very selective about who watches her. Tim blew us away with how well he was able to earn her trust. They went hiking together nearly every day that we were gone and sent tons of pics and videos of our girl looking happier than ever. This was the first trip where I haven’t have to worry about her at all because Tim was so great at communicating and keeping us updated. He left the house cleaner than when he came as well which was just one of the ways he went above and beyond”

“Brianna was great with my cat, Geralt. He's normally very skittish and wary of new people, but she had him being his normal self in just a couple of days. Great communication throughout the sit and went above/beyond for my return to both Geralt and my apartment. Highly recommend and look forward to rebooking with her when needed again. Thank you!”

“We are new to the Northeast and planned a trip out of the country for our anniversary. Dustin was very responsive from the beginning. He came to the house prior to meet our pups and get a scope of the house. He kept us informed of their well being with pictures and even made Henry's birthday special while we were gone. He also took great care of the house. Dustin will definitely be our first reserve on future travels. We know both the pups and the house are in great hands.”

“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”

Christi S.

“Abbi was so communicative throughout the sit and was awesome both with the dog sitting and house sitting. Will definitely use again and highly recommended.”

“Johnnessa is very responsible about caring for our boy Boots. She keeps us informed and we strongly recommend her!”

Bob H.

“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”

About: It’s been a few years since I’ve been on Rover, but I’m officially back and excited to offer my services this summer and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I treat every dog or cat like they’re my own…with patience, attention, affection, and lots of love. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs a little extra care and routine, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and walks, it’s making sure your pet feels cared for, relaxed, and loved in your absence. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand how stressful it can feel to leave your animal in someone else’s care. My 10-year-old Husky, Zuko, has separation anxiety, so I know firsthand how important patience, reassurance, routine, and trust are when caring for pets. That experience has made me especially attentive and compassionate with animals who may feel nervous, need extra comfort, or simply miss their people while they’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized attention I give every booking. I don’t believe in “checking in and leaving.” I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, learning their personalities, and keeping owners updated so you can have complete peace of mind. Expect plenty of photos, communication, and a sitter who truly cares. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for fur baby. Typically, I work from home about 3 or 4 days a week, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Because I understand how important consistency and comfort are for animals, especially those with anxiety or specific routines, I always make sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given lots of love and attention around my work schedule. I’m very communicative and transparent about my availability so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. I always try to care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means high-energy walks and play sessions, sticking to a feeding/medication schedule, or simply providing extra comfort and reassurance for anxious pets. I also understand how important communication is when someone is trusting me with their animal. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away.

“Taylor was great. She was punctual, considerate, good with our pup, thoughtful (she sent pics of Bear while I was in the hospital),and very neat. She has our unconditional support recommendation.”

“Norbert did a great job, first by saving us with an unexpected last minute booking. He even accommodated our tight timetable. When he arrived he asked good questions and he kept us up to date during our trip with photos and notes. Special kudos for going above and beyond. We definitely recommend him.”

Catrin L.

“Emilee and Denzel did a great job with my puppy, sent a ton of pictures, and kept me up to date with how he was doing. Would absolutely rebook with them”

Nick P.

“Bobby was wonderful with my dog Bear. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Bear, who has severe separation anxiety, with Bobby. Will definitely book again with him!!!”

JOAN O.

“Julia is fantastic. She routinely took our dog on hour plus walks and took great care of him and our cat. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter as she is very kind, great with animals and very respectful and responsible. Thanks Julia!”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I work at a vet hospital and have experience working with different personalities in different environments. I am knowledgeable on medication and have experience medicating my own cats and dog. I have self taught training experience as well. I will take care of your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working full-time 5am to 1pm M-F. I will have lots of afternoon availability for walks and to keep your fur babies company in their own home! I have 3 cats of my own and they are weary of other animals. I am more than willing to stay overnight at your house for pet sitting!

About: I was a pet groomer for 9 years! I now am a full time stay at home mom. I so badly wanted to work with dogs again, so instead of continuing my profession in dog grooming, I'd like to be their safe place! This is a relaxed environment, where your dog will be loved with small walks, plenty of attention, and lots of cuddles! Also, if you need your dog to have basic grooming, I can provide that as well. This is a place where your dog can relax as if he never left his own room. I have small children and a cat ( who comes and goes at his leisure ) I would love to accommodate you and your pet! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! Other than providing a safe space and grooming; I also have extensive experience dealing with elderly, or pets that need extra medical assistance. I am comfortable administering medicine as well as shots for your diabetic pets from my previous experience with clients. I also can offer a general assessment in your pets health. While they are in my care they will be securely monitored at all times. As a stay at home mom, I only leave home twice a day to pick up and drop off my children to school. Then as I’m home your pet will be going everywhere I go! I take small walks throughout the day suited to your pets energy level. A tired pet, is a happy one at home! While your pet is in my care you can rest assured that not only will they have their own dog beds, but also free range of 90% of the home. They are allowed on all the beds and furniture as well that if they like or need their own quiet space, we have a place wherever they feel most at ease. Our home has a very unfenced large back yard, your dog regardless, would be on leash at all times. Also, we have a park right next to our house in a very walkable area near Valley Forge.

About: I am new to Rover :)) I have taken care of dogs since high school. I graduated college in 2023 with a degree in Health Sciences. I am currently working as an aide at a physical therapy clinic, and looking to make extra money. I love pet sitting and caring for animals is one of my strong suits. 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: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently doing online college, majoring In Biomedical Science! Because of this, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the week and (or) weekends! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and I also have reliable transportation. I love staying active and spending time with fur babies, so this fits perfectly into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be one of my top priorities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, grooming, walks, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I always take time to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also love to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾

“Jarris was great with our two pups. One of them stops eating when we leave and he did everything possible to make her feel comfortable. He communicated well and often about how they were doing.”

About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.

About: I’ve had at least one dog since I was a toddler! I’m experienced with both small and large breed dogs (and cats!) and feel comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with your pets! I understand that a pet is a family member and will provide the same level of care I would expect for my own pets! I work full time in a remote position which allows for flexibility and visits during weekdays and weekends! Feel free to reach out as I’m sure I can accommodate your needs. Currently I live with my Ragdoll cat Cedric! I plan on providing most care based out of your home and will treat it will respect!
