“I recently had Sara come over to meet with my dog. It was obvious she is an animal person right away. She asked a lot of questions and wanted to make sure my dog would be well cared for. A last minute schedule change by me but she was able to do two 1-hour drop-in visits. She kept me in the loop on arrival, sent pictures of my smiling dog, a summary of how the visit went, and then when she was leaving. She did a fantastic job. Very trustworthy and I definitely plan on hiring her again to pet sit.”
“Lindsay is great !!! Frodo loves her!! She took the time to do a meet and greet before hand! She kept me updated on how the visit went and sent lots of pictures!We will definitely have her come regularly!!”
“Alexis was wonderful! She cared for our four cats over a holiday weekend and gave us consistent updates and photos each day. Communication was easy and she made sure everyone was safe, fed and loved—even our more reserved cat. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“I just arrived home after a four-day trip, and let me tell you all a thing: this is the calmest my cats have ever been upon my return from being away. Lisa did a fantastic job looking after my two fur babies, so much so that I don’t think they even missed me! And on top of that, she collected my packages for me (none of which were supposed to arrive until after I returned). Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Amanda took great care in making sure my three cats (and two goldfish) were happy and healthy. She was a trooper cleaning some "presents" they left for her, too. I definitely recommend her.”
“Amanda was wonderful and helped us out with a last minute request. She was very responsive and easy to work with. She had never been to our house or met our dogs before but made us feel comfortable and everything went well. We are happy to have found her and will definitely use her again.”
“Madelyn is so very patient with our pup. She is kind, sweet and communicative! She has great natural instincts and experience which makes her easy to trust. We look forward to more drop ins and visits!”
“Katelyn is amazing. My cat does not take to people but she came out and was being friendly. Katelyn had great communication and made being away less stressful. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Ally was a great caretaker for our two furballs. Thank you for the great communication, excellent reports and all the lovely photos. We were so grateful that they were in such good care.”
“Meredith and Jeremy are amazing! They cared for our two cats while we were away for the week and I couldn’t be happier with the services they provided. One of our cats does not warm up to new people easily and is also a diabetic that requires daily insulin shots. I knew our cats would be well taken care of as soon as they stopped by for an intro and Lucky just laid at their feet and purred. Loved the updates and daily pictures. The litter was scooped daily so we didn’t come home to a smelly home. If I could give them 10 stars I would!”
“Micah was beyond wonderful! Her love for dogs was evident the first time I met her. This was the first time we used Rover in a long time and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and truly care for our dog. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: Hello! I’m looking forward to meeting and taking care of your fur baby. I had 2 beagles that I adopted as puppies who passed away in February and March of 2020 at 14 and 15 years old. After they passed, I started fostering for Senior Dog Haven And Hospice and adopted my first foster dog, a little Senior Chihuahua, who just recently passed away in 2024. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and am comfortable with all medications except injectables. I work from home and your dog will rarely be left unattended and can go out in the fenced yard or go for walks as often as needed. Your dog will have lots of love and attention while staying with me 🐾❤️ Please reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule a meet and greet! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I really enjoy getting out of the house to take dogs for a walk, but also have a fenced in yard for them to run around in and go out as frequently as is needed. For in home sitting I love having guest dogs to snuggle in the morning while I have my coffee, hang out with me in the office, and follow me around through the day 😊 I typically have dogs sleep in their bed in my bedroom, but am flexible to the routine that your dog is accustomed to. For a visits and walks at your home, I allow time for at least a 30 minute walk or visit/playtime. However, I am only able to offer this service within about a 5 mile radius from Royersford.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over six decades, and caring for them brings me purpose. I've had dogs by my side my whole life, shared my home with cats, spent years riding and caring for horses, and even rescued a goose and few pigeons. I’m experienced with pets of all ages. I understand the special care they need and have hands-on experience administering medications and supporting aging pets with patience and compassion. Their comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I also have the patience to help young animals that are still in their training phase. Now retired, I have the time and energy to devote fully to your furry (or feathered!) family members. I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and lots of attention—and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether you’re going away or just need an extra hand, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in experienced, loving hands. I am retired so I am free to assist in any way I can, no job is too small and I am always happy to help. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take time to learn their routine, keep doors and gates secure, avoid hazards, and provide constant supervision, love, and calm, reliable care.
“Allie did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, who can be quite picky! She even vacuumed up the litter on the floor so we came to a squeaky clean home! I will definitely rebook her, our cats definitely loved her!”
“Kristin is AMAZING! She took care of our 3 pups for almost 2 weeks. The daily updates, photos etc. were great and the best part is our dogs LOVED her! She even played with them! Kristin will be our go-to person for caring for the dogs when we go on vacation!”
“Rachael sent me messages and pictures which provided updates on how things were at home. Seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable about cat sitting and care. Overall all a good sitter.”
About: I have always grown up around dogs, and I have two huskies of my own now. I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs as well as my neighbor’s dogs. I’m currently at college and studying for the MCAT, so I don’t have any obligations that I can’t move around. I’m free just about any time! Since I’ve cared for many other dogs, I can understand their personalities and when they need to be alone. I will also work with the owner to better understand what the pet likes and how to best care for them.
