Marilyn took great care of our dog. She was very friendly and caring. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. We will definitely reach out to her again to watch our dog in the future.

Julie is outstanding. Her innovative ways of handling play and treat time make her particularly adept at gaining our shy cat's trust! She also provides adorable photos. Thanks to Julie, I spend far less time worrying about our cat because I know he's having a good time!

I wish I could leave 100 star rating!! I highly recommend Amber to care for your pet/pets! Amber cared for my 9 cats everyday for over a week coming each evening and staying over 30 minutes! I always received multiple pictures of each cat which eased my mind showing they were all doing well! Amber ever took pictures with them which I loved and texted me during her visit! Amber is so sweet, kind, easy going, friendly , dependable, trustworthy, & reliable! This was honestly the first vacation I relaxed & enjoyed myself & did not worry as I knew my kitties were in good hands! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be asking you to come again soon!

About: I enjoy walking daily and I also love long distance running so if you have a dog that would like to run that would be wonderful. I have young kids to pick up and drop off early morning but then I have my day to the animals which is equally fun . I am also available weekends. I am a cat owner and my 3 cats are part of my family. However I can’t have pets at my house because of my cats. I would love to visit your pets at their home. I also have worked in healthcare for 2 decade’s administrating medication. I and able to give injections to pets if needed .

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

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!

About: Hello Everyone! I’m Nicole and that cute guy in my photo is my pup Lochly. He’s a corgi mix and he’s awesome! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last 20+years. I’m a realtor and a host on Airbnb and make my own schedule so I’m flexible with my hours. I like dogs of all sizes and breeds and ages. Walks, fetch, tug of war, snuggles and belly rubs ... I can do it all. I live just outside of northeast philadelphia but I am on the move a lot for work so I can cover all areas of the city. i really enjoy meeting new people and their pups and I look forward to this new venture. I am a realtor who makes her own schedule. I have lots of flexibility during the week to be able to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m detail oriented so please leave all the things required to care for your dog, no matter how silly it may be. If your babies are anything like mine they definitely have some quirks that need to be indulged and I am happy to oblige

2nd time booking with Haley and once again she was amazing. My moms dementia has progressed and we took in a new cat after I booked with Haley so I asked her last minute if she could feed the new one and just check on my moms pets and she had no issues doing so. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Haley!!!

About: I have experience with a variety of animals - I've adopted 6 cats, 3 dogs, 2 parakeets, 2 guinea pigs, and a ferret in my lifetime! I have experience with both kitties/puppies and geriatric cats and dogs, and everything in between! I love all animals and I am constantly going through trial and error to ensure they have a long fulfilling life, whether that's making fun and enriching toys for them or finding picky eaters food they love! I am taking a semester off of college while I work to become a pet groomer, so I am available most days and times! I cannot do long stays in order to take care of my pets at home as well, but I am happy to do visits and short stays! I am very conscientious of doors and safety hazards when it comes to pet proofing. Ferrets and kittens really know how to test how pet proof something is, so I am very keen on delivering a safe environment. I will make sure to supervise your dog if you have a backyard and I know the proper way to secure a leash when taking them for walks!

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: Hi there, I'm Marco Nunes, the founder of Polo's Paws—a local business dedicated to providing insured, affordable, and high-quality care for dogs. My journey with dogs began when my family rescued a pup facing significant behavioral challenges. She was aggressive towards people and other dogs, and destructive when left alone, making daily life challenging. Determined to help her and others like her, I immersed myself in the world of dog care. I started my career at a dog daycare that offered private lessons and boarding. Under the mentorship of experienced trainers, I quickly learned effective techniques. I led pack walks with groups of 10 dogs, of various breeds and temperaments. Through this experience, I not only transformed my family dog but also gained the skills to help other families achieve the same relief and joy of having a well-socialized, happy companion. Today, my goal with Polo's Paws is to ensure every dog I work with is fully fulfilled and transformed, allowing families to enjoy their wonderful company without the stress of managing a restless dog. With Polo's Paws, you can trust that your dog will receive comprehensive care and training, tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work part-time and it’s work from home, which means I spend all of my day with my dog—going on walks, playing, and ensuring they stay active and happy. Your pup will seamlessly join our routine, getting plenty of exercise, socialization, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether it’s a fun pack walk, playtime in my fenced yard, or relaxing downtime, I’ll make sure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience while in my care! I provide a secure and enriching space for your dog, whether in my home or yours. My home features a fenced yard and an in-building dog park, perfect for burning off energy. Your pup will also enjoy daily pack walks, just like the ones I led while managing groups of 10 dogs at a time in a doggy daycare. I have a friendly resident dog who loves company, creating a social and welcoming atmosphere. If needed, I can also crate dogs for rest and sleep, ensuring a structured and comfortable stay. Safety, trust, and a happy environment are my top priorities!

About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside. Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it.

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s what makes me happiest. I’ve walked, played with, and cared for pups of all sizes, from energetic huskies to tiny yorkies. Every tail wag and belly rub brings me so much joy. When I’m with dogs, I’m truly in my happiest place, and I treat each one like family. I work a 9–5 job Monday through Friday, but caring for dogs is truly the highlight of my day. Before and After work and on weekends, I’m available for walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Spending time with dogs never feels like work—it’s what makes me happiest, and I always make room for it in my routine. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I’ll walk them, feed them, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. Need a bath? I’m happy to help with that too! Your pet’s comfort and joy are always my priority!

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.

Isabelle is excellent. She was on time for our meet and greet and for all drop-in visits. Isabelle took terrific care of Sadie and is an excellent communicator. This was my first time with Isabelle and I am hoping she will be available in the future to watch Sadie. I highly recommend Isabelle.

I truly appreciated the attention and care she gave them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I would absolutely use her again!

We highly recommend Mary Rose. We have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disorder, and asthma, so getting his medication right is extremely important. She handled his care with no problems at all and followed his medical routine with confidence and precision. Our cat is also quite shy with new people, but she was able to build a connection with him. We received plenty of photos showing him enjoying petting and grooming time, which was very reassuring while we were away. She also provided detailed daily reports that truly put our minds at ease. It is clear she has both a deep love for animals and strong knowledge of their care. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.

Rosabella was great! I received lots of pictures as part of my rover card each time she checked in on my cat, Roscoe. It was clear from the start that Roscoe was comfortable with her (both from our meet and greet prior to her check ins and in the pictures throughout her time with him). I had no doubt that he was well taken care of while I was away, which is major considering I am a worried cat parent and often need reassurance while away from my cat.

Deresha is great! Feel like I got lucky with her being available. She knows her way around dogs of all breeds and can handle any type trouble your dog may give some one. Trusted her more and more as time went on. You won’t regret hiring Deresha to take care of your little ones, she’s great and is even willing to meet you before you need services to make sure she’s a good fit for your mascots. Deresha is the best!
