About: Having grown up with a dog in the home, I love the little moments of joy with our canine friends but also understand the attention and care each dog needs. Whether your pet is rambunctious and playful or needs more gentle care, let me know how I can best make them comfortable and happy. My availability varies seasonally; I'm an educator, so normally my weekday availability is limited to late afternoons and evenings. Weekends are very clear and flexible for me. In the summer, my schedule is wide open, so feel free to book me for those much-needed summer vacations! When I am dropping in to your place or staying to house sit, I approach your pet -- especially one who's new to me -- with care and gentleness. I double-check instructions each day to make sure I provide top-quality care.

“Danielle had been great with Okami. He's usually very reserved and defensive with new people. But he warned up to her in just two walks. Bonus is that she takes tons of photos.”

“My dogs liked Sabin immediately. My timid pup let Sabin pick him up, which he is normally very worried about even with me. Sabin is responsible, attentive and has positive energy that all of us appreciate! I highly recommend him!”

“I highly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a dependable walker or sitter. During our two years working with Paulina, she has proven herself to be a great fit for my nervous pup. She has been so considerate of my pup’s needs, such as slowing down after she resumed walking her after my pup recovered from injuring her hip. She also adjusted her walking pace and route to keep my pup safe depending on the weather and different neighborhoods we’ve lived in. When things have come up in the past, she has always notified me with plenty of time for me to adjust my plans. She has also been respectful of my home the times that she has stayed over to care for my pup and kitties. I’m sad she won’t be walking my pup on a weekly basis anymore after her recent move, but look forward to hearing from her as a friend in the future. It’s been so fun getting to know her these last two years. She’s a truly wonderful woman who is smart, caring, and dependable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy walker and sitter.”

About: I’ve always loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 5 cats and 1 dog! I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own as of now! I was able to fully train ( tricks and potty) my dog before he reached 4 months. I’ve rescued a few dogs and cats before and am always feeding stray cats in the neighborhood My schedule is pretty open as of right now! I can pretty much do whatever works best for you and your pets! I love taking care of animals I currently reside in a two story apartment with plenty of room. I live right across from a big field where I like to take my own dog at least once a day to run and exercise.

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for friends and family. I'm attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. It doesn’t matter if it’s feeding, going on walks, or playtime, I provide patient and reliable care. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to give every pet the attention they need. I’m most available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I can provide reliable care, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship during those times. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s care instructions. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency by keeping pets in a clean, secure environment and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

“Rhea was wonderful with Steve, her communication was quick and reliable. She has a great manner with our dogs, and Steve loved their time together!”

“At the entrance to cloverly Park on the Wissahickon schoolhouse intersection side there are three milkweed plants and if you look to your left afterwards in the weeds there are three or four more Anna is very easy to work with. My dog loved her instantly. My dog is happy to see her every time she came. She follows directions very well and is happy to learn all she can about my dog. I have already had her walk my dogs three times and I anticipate booking her again in the future.”

“Allison was great! She walked my Spartacus with care. And even put food and water in his bowls for him.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10! I’ve always had 3-4 pets at a time so I understand the high/low maintenance, the picky eaters, and the ones that need medical assistance. I personally have dogs that have medical issues and have to make sure their needs are met constantly. I’ve worked on a farm so I have great experience with all types of animals. Neighbors and friends rely on me #1 to walk, play, feed, and take care of their pets. I currently work part time. I will have plenty of time during the day to play, feed, walk your pups! I’m an early bird so if you’re looking for someone early in the mornings, I’m your girl! I will follow whatever your protocol is for your pets! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me. I look forward to meeting all of your furry friends!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Cane Corsos. I genuinely love dogs and naturally connect with them. I’ll treat your pet like family, providing dependable, patient, and attentive care every visit. I work a stable full-time schedule, which allows me to easily plan pet care into my day. Before and after work, I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always communicate with owners and stick to their pet’s routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you provide. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust, keep a close eye on their behavior, and maintain a clean, secure environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“I ended up booking this the wrong way and I booked it as a walking so it cost me way more but it was worth it knowing that my baby was in good hands while I watched a concert. My walker was patient kind and did everything I asked and my dog came back happy happy happy. What more can a puppy parent want? She was fabulous. BOOK THIS YOUNG LADY!!!!”

About: I’m a dog mom of two - that don’t like other dogs/kids, so I have experience with challenging walks. They live with their grandparents for now, so I have a lots of love, and care to give :) I work pm (3-11:30pm) shifts in center city with random days off, so I’m mostly available in mornings/overnights or certain full days when I have off. My apartment complex has a great green area around the building where I can walk my babies when they visit me. They are allowed on the bed/couch, but they like to sunbath on the fluffy carpet as well. They have a separate area in the dining room so they have space to eat peacefully. My little one also likes to hide with his treats, especially under the bed or table:) I make sure they get enough walks, even when their stomach is bad in the middle of the night. I also like to take them to the Wissahickon park, they love car rides. I would make sure other babies feel comfortable just like mines / or to create a safe and comfortable environment with lots of attention.

“Elijah is great with my dog Beckett! They've been on a few walks together so far and I hope for them to go on many more together. Beck is a very energetic dog and we are still working on training but Elijah is very patient with him which is super appreciated.”

About: Hello! I have worked with animals all my life and realized how much of a passion I have for them! I have worked at an animal rescue, dog shelter, and have become a foster for over 200+ dogs and puppies. Currently work from home full time and care for my dogs and puppies. My day typically starts around 6:45am/7:45(at the latest) I am able to walk them, take them to my neighborhood dog park, do training, socializing and of course play/loving time. Since i am home all day i do offer to take non-potty trained dogs i will just need a heads up that they are not potty trained yet. I have had alot of experience with different temperaments, health conditions, behavioral issues, and breeds please give me notice ahead of time and I will accommodate for what will be best for you fur baby. I do have 2 dogs of my own which are very dog friendly of all sizes and ages. If you are not comfortable with your baby cross interacting NO PROBLEM! They will be in a complete different room and will get plenty of water, walks, potty breaks, and play time! I currently work from home so I am home all day to care for any and all fur babies. I currently run off of a tight schedule starting between 6:45-7:30am going up until around 11pm typically. I make sure each dog is introduced properly. Everyone must be walked on a leash and collar and/or harness at all times outside of my home. Everyone is fed in a crate or separate room unless litter mates.

About: I have a special love for pets they are the children some people aren’t able to have. They deserve the same attention and love that I would give my children. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my time is completely open and available. I get up at 7am to make sure my children get to school then I’m home catching up on shows until they return home. I have a small fenced yard, a 3 story home so your pets have plenty of room to feel free. If anything your fur babies will get extra love because my kids love fur babies

“Yulia and Kevin were able to come walk Mia with only a day's notice, even though we'd never used them before. They were very responsive as we were getting the walk set up and ironing out the details. They also kept me updated with messages when they picked Mia up and when they dropped her off. The map of their route, as well as the picture they sent during the walk made me feel very reassured that she was being well cared for. I would definitely use them again.”

About: I have had three dogs throughout my life with my family. In January 2025 I got my own dog, a mini dachshund. She is my baby!! I have always loved being around dogs and taking care of them. I am a student part-time, which allows me lots of time to dog/cat sit! I am available most hours of the day, and am flexible with coming over mornings/nights. I will follow any instructions given regarding coming into the clients home and taking care of pets. I am very consistent and will always be on time!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to three wonderful cats, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including walking dogs, caring for cats during vacations, and looking after puppies and dogs with all types of different personalities. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving oral medication to my own cats, and providing lots of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates. I’ve also worked with anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and helping them feel secure. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re getting lots of love, attention, and probably a few extra belly rubs (if they’re into that!) Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full-time, but I work from home twice a week, which gives me extra flexibility to provide additional attention and care during those days. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’ll always communicate clearly and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, respect your home as if it were my own, and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether that means giving medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or providing extra patience for an anxious pet, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.
