Top rated Bala-Cynwyd house sitters

“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”

“Syd made a point of spending time with me and Pepper to get to know them first. They were on time and kept in touch with me while I was away. Everything was as I left it upon my return. Pepper was happy and Syd was so gracious. Will ask Syd to care for my home and my girl again!”


“Allison was awesome with Kingsley as always. Very flexible and communicative, plenty of updates and pictures. I know my little dude loves it when she's here!”


“Kirsten was great at keeping in touch with us and sending lots of picture updates, which we appreciate so much. Our cats warmed up to her right away! Thanks so much.”


“Quanece and Malik were great! Our dogs have previously been more anxious but during their time with Quanece and Malik they were back to their typical behavior and temperament much sooner. They clearly enjoyed their time and knowing they were so well taken care of helped alleviate our concerns while away. We look forward to having them spend time with our pups again soon!”


“Jourdi took such great care of our two cats and little pup! They were super attentive to their needs, communicative, and left our house in great shape. I definitely want to keep working with them!”


“Allayna was fantastic with our dog Ernie! We really appreciate the effort and hard work it takes to care for him, given his separation-related behaviors, and we were left at ease knowing that he was well taken care of, so we will definitely make use again.”


“Grace did great on an overnight stay for a few days! She was responsive, sent pictures and updates, gave medicine at meal times and helped my pup when she was scared of the fireworks. She also left the house very clean. She did wonderful and we would love to use her again.”


“Anna was great! She was attentive to Mayas needs and took great care of her. Anna also sent us pictures of their time together and Maya looked so happy in all of them.”


“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”


“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”


“Very reliable and accommodating. Bogey happy and healthy when we got home, and was excited to see Wayne the following day when he came by to drop off our key. We felt very comfortable leaving our (quite needy), nearly 10 yr old dog in Wayne’s care. Won’t hesitate to request him again!”


“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”


“Danielle was great! We were running out of cat food towards the end of the week and she ran out and got more. She sent pics of the dogs when we were away and they seemed to love her. She straightened up the house and all was good. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Anthony is a wonderful sitter. He arrived precisely on time and listened carefully to our instructions regarding. our special needs dog, Norma. Anthony texted photos and reassured us that Norma had taken her medication. When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find her relaxed and comfortable, something she doesn't always exhibit even with us. We're glad we found Anthony and look forward to having him care for Norma in the future.”


“Megan was awesome - she took great care of our boys and our home while we were out of town. She is communicative and is active with the dogs which they loved! Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others!”


“Lora did a great job with my two anxious rescue dogs while caring for them at my house while I was away. She was very communicative & shared multiple daily updates & photos. She also noticed that my outdoor plants were in need of water & offered to lend a hand with watering them.”
