“Amber was great caring for our elderly cat. She kept us updated with lots of pics while we were away, which we really appreciated. Billy seemed happy and healthy and well cared for!”

“Marilyn was a pleasure to meet. She bonded very well with both my cats. One of my cats needed medication and she administered them well. She made sure that the cats were fed and played with during her visit. I would definitely look for Marilyn again if I am going away.”

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.

“Emily was incredibly thoughtful and caring! She took care of my cat with medical needs as a very last minute request (the day before I left). I was pretty stressed to leave Phoebe for the first time, but Emily made the experience as stress-free as possible. Emily was communicative and timely, sending me pictures and videos during each drop-in visit. During my trip, Phoebe threw up and Emily texted me promptly to evaluate the situation and continued to monitor her for the rest of the stay. Not to mention that Emily left my home tidier than when I left!! Emily is a great caregiver, and I will definitely request her services again. You should too!!”

About: I am very caring and treat any dog like it is my own. I’ve been taking care of my sister’s dog while they are at work. We’ve been going on walks he’s a cane corso so he’s a massive dog. I think dogs pick up on my good energy because most dogs love me. Please let me know if you need help with your dog when you’re not available. I’d be happy to help. I take care of my dog every single day I pretty much revolve around his schedule. Once a week I have to watch my sisters dog (cane corso) too. My dog we have a fenced yard but he still goes on walks daily and my sisters dog she’s in fishtown so he needs walks.

“Brian was great with Tucker all the way from the meet and greet through the two check ins. He made our anxious dog feel comfortable and his communication is great and proactive. We highly recommend Brian and will be booking him for weekly services going forward!”

Amanda D.

“Jillian was great! She made sure our 2 kitties were well taken care of! Our kitties were given lots of love and played with everyday! Very easy communication and she took great pics of the cats!”

“Christine went above and beyond. She’s professional and responsive to messages. Im comfortable and know my fur baby is in good hands. Thank you again. I definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love every type breed and size. I am the go to friend when a friend needs someone to come let their dogs out or watch them over a weekend. I have a 3 year old Pitt/Staffy that I rescued when he was very young. I work 4 days a week, which I will typically block off, but am home several times for walks and care. If needing days covered outside my availability, given it would be a good fit and pickup/dropoff works with my schedule, I can try to accommodate. I block off any time I’ll be out of town and mainly just chill at home with my own pitty otherwise. We go on daily walks for the needed exercise and energy burn. My apartment is smaller but we have a great neighborhood to walk in. We have Pennypack park I go to for walks frequently and visit other outdoor dog parks in Jersey once a weekend. I have an extra crate if it’s needed and lots of toys.

About: I have two puppies of my own, that I love and adore. I have 3 years experience in healthcare, and love to take care of people and animals :) I am working part time at a hospital. My schedule varies from week to week, but I am as flexible as possible. Reach out to me and we can make something work :) I have two dogs so I can not offer my own house, but am available to come and stay at your house/ stop by for however long you need me to.

About: Hi! I'm Melissa! A little bit about me. Growing up, our family always had dogs and cats. Since the moment I was born, I was raised alongside dogs and cats and at one point in my childhood we had three large breed dogs and 2 cats at once, so fun and crazy! This always nurtured my deep appreciation for animals from an early age. One of our family dogs even had three litters of puppies during my teenage years, giving me hands on experience caring for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes. Today, I have my own dog in my own family home, a 76 pound English Coonhound rescue from Arkansas. Despite his high energy levels, strength and tendency to pull on the leash, I handle him confidently and independently. I adopted him through Philly Rescue Angels Inc., where I am also an approved foster. Family and friends have relied on me for years from a young age to let out, walk, feed, and play with their dogs whether it be when they need help on short notice or go on an extended vacation. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve had cats throughout my life and have fostered them as well. One of my cats even needed daily insulin injections for diabetes and I always handled that myself. My background has given me a well rounded understanding of animal care, and I take pride in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate, and responsible care for all of your pets! Since I am a nurse, I also understand most medical conditions and medication administration and precautions for pets as well, they're more similar to us than we realize! I am a registered nurse whom only works 3 days per week. I am quite flexible in my schedule and can move around my days easily if requested! I have a fenced in yard. I have a friendly dog to play with your pup! And an extra large crate if you need your pet crated at all. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house as well!

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: 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: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.
