“Caroline has been walking our 3 year old golden retriever, Sophie. Sophie has a ton of energy which Caroline handles like a pro! She is always on time and takes amazing care of our pup while we are away. There is no doubt Caroline loves spending time with Sophie and we would not hesitate to use her in the future!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. I want to offer my services because having a pet requires a lot of help sometimes as it also takes a village to raise a fur baby! I have dog sat/dropped in/ and walked multiple dogs so I have experience with all types from very small to German Shepherds and Labs as well as cat sitting. I currently have 2 cats so I have extensive experience in both types of pets. I have frequently volunteered at dog adoption events. I have sat for and walked multiple pets via Rover connections as well as personal referrals. Always treat your pets as I would my own. I usually am available for evenings and weekends as I work full time. I am usually unavailable for major holidays as I go out of town but that schedule varies. I don't care for pets in my home at this time. I spend time with the pets in their own home and feed or provide whatever services the client requests.
“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”
“Christel was great! Titus can be anxious at times and was not always ready to walk with Christel, she showed patience and understanding. She provided photos and updates..”
“I have had Bri walk my dog before, So this was a rebooking. She's a fantastic dog walker, she really gelled with my dog. My dog loves her. She follows instructions really well and she's always on time. I already have booked her for future walks so that should tell you everything you need to know”
About: I love all animals big and small. I’ve been dog walking since high school and love a dog play date. While I only have cats in my own home, I can’t wait to become best friends with your fur baby. I’m a hybrid worker with flexibility. I’m happy to help early or late! I’m used to juggling different projects and work well under pressure. Most weekends I spend exploring Philly and love to unwind with my pets. At home, I know that it’s my cats’ house, I’m just lucky to live with them. I’m all about pet comfort, while sticking to routines.
“Sara was amazing! Our pup can be a little nervous but she kind and patient so Max took to her right away! Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their furbabies watched!”
“Christina did a fantastic job walking Tully! Even though it was just one walk, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs. She was professional, kind, and made sure Tully felt comfortable and cared for. Christina provided a great update afterward, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely trust her with Tully again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“I had Katherine walk my dog for 2 days just to see how it would go and everything went great. She was on time, kept me updated with pictures throughout the walk and never had any issues with my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone else and I’ll definitely be using her for future walks.”
“Nicole was wonderful. She had never met our puppy but was able to coax her outside in the pouring rain, and got her to pee the first time & pee & poop in the second, quite the feat for a stranger and my anxious pup. Nicole was responsive, easy to communicate with, and I highly recommend her!”
“Anthony walks my two dogs and is very good with them; he’s also consistently on time and reliable. After several months of working with him, I am definitely comfortable with him taking on a greater role such as house sitting the dogs.”
“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.”
“Our greyhound Gini loves Leah! Leah is super professional and has been accommodating towards Gini’s quirks. Leah sends us pictures from their walks and checks in regularly. I’m really glad we found Leah and can trust that she’ll take care of Gini for us 🥰”
About: I was a dog foster for a few months before adopting my current dog. I have experience with taking care of both small and large dogs for many years. My dog is very mild tempered and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He is neutered. We have access to go on daily walks along the river, around the neighborhood and at the park. I am a student, about to take 4 weeks off from school and would like to take advantage of my free time. I love dogs and have a great environment to dog sit, and also have the time to take them on long walks/play dates. I live in an apartment and the complex has two fenced dog parks. I have one dog who is very calm and mild tempered, he gets along well with both males and females, big or small. If your dog needs to be crated I also have a crate if necessary. They are allowed to lounge on the couch too.
About: I’ve spent the last 11+ years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with behavioral quirks. I regularly foster, so I’m used to working with new personalities and helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved in unfamiliar environments. I’m confident handling leash-reactive dogs and know how to keep walks calm and under control. Whether it’s drop-in’s, structured walks, or giving your dog attention/enrichment while you’re away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine care to every visit. I work from home for the majority of the week and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for morning, mid-day, and evening drop-ins. My weekend schedule is open as well. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your space, and always keep safety top of mind. On walks, I stay alert and calm, making sure your pup gets both exercise and positive attention, at their pace.
“I felt very as ease knowing Toni was going to take care of J Rock for me while at work. I appreciate the information and pictures she provided!! Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have experience from young dogs to old cats. I believe that compassion and patience are the key to quality care for the important animals in your lives I am currently a student at Ithaca college and I am a recruit for the women's varsity rowing team. Pet care fits into my schedule whenever a pet parent may need help. My class and practice schedule does provide some time constraints but I am able to work with the pet parents to make sure their pets are properly taken care of. Before moving into college I had given my two cats full time care for their daily, medical, and emotional needs. I had always been at their attention due to some of the issues my own pets have which provides me insight into what a pet may be going through and allowing me to act quickly when something may be happening. Because I am in college my cats care is now in my parents hands which provides no restraints to how I can care for other peoples pets.

Claire E.
“Claire is one of the most caring people that I know. She has always loved pets - both cats and dogs. She just loves our dog Lucy, but back when we were living together, she voluntarily took the responsibility of caring for Iris, always letting her sleep in her room, giving her treats, brushing her, letting her outside to run around to her heart's content. She used to sit on Claire's shoulder any chance she would get, like a parrot! The two were inseparable, and by visiting home again I can tell that Iris misses her a lot, as she walked up to her room many times wondering where Claire was. Your pets will just love her!”
