“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”

About: Growing up around all types of animals helped me develop my current love for them! I’m an aspiring veterinary student that would love to get more experience :) I currently take care of my own dogs at home, while also have taken care of cats numerous times! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born, this comes naturally to me. I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them the love and care that I would if it were in my own home. Every animal deserves kindness!

“Marilyn is extremely reliable. She communicates well and my 9 month old puppy loves her. We’ve hired Marilyn for 30 minute walks and she always walks him longer. She’s truly a gem!”

About: I have working experience with a vast array of animals. I enjoy learning about different animals, creating species specific care guides and following them! I have experience shadowing at both a dog day care, and a veterinarian hospital. I am in college for Conservation and Wildlife Management, and have a senior dog, and a hamster of my own! I am currently taking a semester off from college, and would love to stay active throughout the fall and winter! I often love to explore new areas, and I'm sure a pet would too! I am very responsible to make sure all doors, gates, etc are closed and locked before leaving to ensure no pet escapes. Animal safety is a priority of mine, and I will be sure to follow any instructions left for this reason. I will also clean up any mess left by a pet that occurs while I'm there.

About: I’ve been a cat owner since I was 8 and proudly own 2 orange senior boys. I love animals, and frequently pet sit for neighbors and family friends. I do my best to stay educated on the most beneficial practices and products for pet care, and will always put a pet’s wellbeing first. I currently work as an amusement park performer, so if your pet would like to see any songs or dances, I’ve got you! I primarily work Friday-Saturday and weekday evenings, so I almost always have my mornings and afternoons available! My work hours change weekly, so I’m always happy to make an extra stop to check in on a pet, if my schedule allows! I always keep things neat and tidy, so I’ll thoroughly clean food and water bowls, pick up any poop, and scoop litter during all of my visits. I’m very thorough when making sure everything is taken care of, and I’ll even leave an extra treat or two to make sure your pet feels special! I absolutely love spending time with animals, so if your pet needs some playtime, I’m always happy to provide that as well. Whether I’m walking your dog or sitting for your pet(s), I’ll make sure they’re well-cared for, clean, and happy before I leave.

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

About: 2+ years of experience. I’m a dependable and caring sitter with hands-on experience watching both cats and dogs. From energetic pups to laid-back kitties, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and personality. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home during the week and have free weekends, and I love to spend my down time checking in, walking, feeding, and spending time with your pets! I prefer to care for pets out of their home (drop-ins, walks around their neighborhood, etc.), ensuring they are comfortable and feel safe with me and their surroundings.

“Dana was excellent with my dog! She was prompt, had good communication, has a somewhat flexible schedule and followed the routine I asked. I highly recommend Dana and will be having her care for Buck again.”

About: Hi, I'm Amy! I'm a 27-year-old graduate student with a master's degree in counseling, and I'm excited to provide reliable, compassionate care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have two corgis that I raised from puppies, giving me hands-on experience with high-energy working breeds, puppy training, and caring for adult dogs. I'm comfortable walking dogs that are reactive, strong pullers, or need a patient, confident handler. I also have experience caring for a variety of small animals, including birds, rats, ferrets, and reptiles. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered and scaly!) family members. I currently offer weekend-only availability for dog walks and drop-in visits. While my weekday schedule is dedicated to work, I love spending my weekends caring for pets and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. If you're looking for a reliable weekend sitter or walker, I'd love to meet you and your pet! I take special care to make sure I follow all of the instructions left by pet parents. All things needed to walk/care for your dog will be placed back in a neatly fashion when I leave and I will ensure the home looks as good as when I arrived.

About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.

“Marco is an excellent dog walker! My pups love him and he treats them like his own.”

About: I treat every pet as if it were my own. I’ve owed three dogs in the past years , two of which were rescues. I worked at a greyhound shelter in the past. I grew up with a cat as child and always been drawn to animals. My house is pet friendly and is a three story row house with a fenced in yard, on a quiet block. I love taking care of animals and will make sure your pet is treated with love and respect! My dog is a friendly and playful Jack Russell mix who loves his walks. My goal is to provide love and company for your pet when you can’t be with them. Whenever I go to someone’s house with pets, they instantly become my best friend!
