“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Our dog and guinea pig were well taken care of while we were gone for 5 days. Great communication, frequently updates, and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Also willing to help out when our flight was delayed and rerouted. Will be happy to book again.”

“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”

“Dana came in clutch and helped us with a last minute request. She provided great updates, followed instructions well, and sent cute pics along the way. She took great care of our 2 big goofy dogs and would definitely reach out to her for help in the future 😊”

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!

“Jesse was such a wonderful pet sitter for us during a weekend away! He was friendly, clearly enjoyed the pets, and his communication was awesome— lots of pics and videos to tide us over!”

“I will definitely be using Rich again for a puppy sleepover. He was great with communication and asked appropriate questions. Very reliable and trustworthy. Needed a last minute change while booking and he was extremely understanding and flexible. I felt at ease with all the adorable photos he sent of my fur baby. Definitely recommend. Also, went above and beyond what I asked. Thank you Rich!”

“Alexandria was super communicative and such a pleasure. My dog had a great time with her and I didn’t have to worry while I was away one bit, looking forward to hiring Alexandria again!”

“We booked Justine last minute for an overnight trip. She was on time and I think she handled our big and strong dog well. We were in a rush to get out and she even did the dishes we left in the sink! Thanks again!”

About: Ever since I got my Labrador retriever 4 years ago, I've walked many dogs and pups around my neighborhood. I am responsible and patient with each and every dog. My labrador weighs 105 pounds, so no matter size or breed I can handle each pup with as much loving care as I can offer. **Se habla español. Soy de Colombia, si necesitas que les camino tu perrito, me pueden mandar un mensaje en espanol.** I work a part time job at a supermarket nearby on Sunday til 3pm. I am available any time after that. Additionally, I am available anytime Fridays or Saturdays. I am very flexible and can work with any pawrents schedule :). I love going for long walks, so that your pup can take a nice nap afterwards. I personally like to be outdoors as much as possible with my Labrador because he loves sunbathing and playing fetch. Sometimes I drive him to a park nearby, but no matter what place I take care of a pup I ensure that they are comfortable and safe.

“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“We used Ari for 5 days for our dog Freddy , we had a destination wedding for my sister who was getting married and we interviewed with Ari in oct and we had a meet up with him and Freddy to just make sure he would be able to watch him for 5 days in our home because our Fred is comfortable in his own home and Ari has no problem accommodating and staying with him each night at our home. He was attentive and communicative lending up to his arrival day and while we were on vacation he made sure to send update and answer and of my million calls just to check in on our dog. I made sure to ask Ari if he wanted any food stocked in the house for himself to have while he was here and his only request was simple just lemonade . Once arriving home today our Freddy was as happy as can be our house looked the exact way we left it and we are already in talks to have him back again in May for our Mexico Trip !!! I can not recommend Ari enough to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter for a vacation trip or wedding or just to walk your dog !! We provide him also with a tip via Apple Pay for him because of him going above and beyond for our Freddy and for us .”

“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”

“Brittany was awesome with Libby, super information and forthcoming when Lib grabbed something she shouldn’t have had. I am so grateful for her attentiveness and honesty!”

“We truly could not have asked for a better dogsitter. She cared for our Labrador, Skye, for 14 days while we were out of state for spring break, and she was an absolute blessing to our family. She treated Skye with so much tenderness and attention, walking her multiple times a day and making sure she was loved and comfortable the entire time. What meant the most to us, especially to my teen daughter, was how thoughtful she was with communication. She consistently sent updates, messages, and pictures, even texting my daughter directly so she wouldn’t miss Skye too much. Before leaving, she even left my daughter something special that included a Polaroid of Skye, that my daughter now keeps in her phone case. That level of care and compassion meant everything. And to top it all off, we came home to a clean, tidy house. She went above and beyond by picking up, washing Skye’s blankets, and even giving her a bath. As a mother of four (plus our dog!), walking into a clean home after travel was truly the highlight. She took initiative in ways we never expected and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Kim is a true gem. 🐾”

“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”

Sandy S.

“Micel took great care of Faith for the weekend that I was away. She was well-cared for and got plenty of love and attention. I would recommend her to anyone looking for kind, responsive, and compassionate care.”
