About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals through both personal ownership and pet-sitting for friends and family. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, and chinchillas. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning habitats/litter, playtime, walks, and giving pets patient, attentive care. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, and I work to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7–5, which allows me to plan pet care reliably into my routine. I am able to drop-in during my work day during house sits to address any mid-day needs, in addition to being available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, cleaned up after, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated while they’re away.

About: Been around many different dog breeds and pets since I was a kid. Family and friends have all relied on me to walk, play, and stay with their pets. I am comfortable with small or large dogs! I am a part-time server 3-4 nights a week! My shifts are roughly 4 hours, and I am out of school for the summer so I am available during the weekdays and weekends. I am willing to stay with pets overnight or as long as needed at clients home to ensure their comfortability! I have references that will testify to my willingness to keep their pets safe and satisfied.
“Sheylah took care of my dogs for a week with drop in visit She was always on time, very Friendly and always send check in messages with pictures of your dogs very friendly girl definitely hire her again.”


About: I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a busy pet store, learning to read behavior and handle different temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for pup play. Meetings work best in the early afternoon for me. I’ve grown up with three dogs and a cat my entire life; always taking them on walks and playing around. I’ve also have helped others who have pups with special conditions at my job.
“Robert did a splendid job with our dog Rebel. We left him with instructions for food and medicine, and he carried them out faithfully. Robert was respectful, on-time, and thorough. We have already booked him again later this month!”

“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and geckos) since I was young. I fostered an old cat August 2024 too. I'm good with pets.

I also have two leopard gecko, and a dog (Diesel). He's about 16 years old. Old man.
“Colin is so great with our growing puppy. He helps keep his consistency and schedule. He works on behaviors and tricks with him, takes him on walks and makes sure he gets lunch! Colin is an all in one amazing dog sitter!”

“We had an amazing experience with Indigo! From the very beginning they were professional, responsive and genuinely caring. We received detailed updates and tons of pictures after each visit. Most importantly, Miles had a wonderful experience :) We will definitely be booking with Indigo again and can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was little, I have volunteered at animal shelters, shadowed vet techs, and had numerous animals growing up. I currently have four dogs two Bernese, one lab, and yorkie. I currently work at a retirement home part time, but I have a lot of free time for your fur babies I get out of school at 10 everyday too, so that’s a plus I provide feeding regularly ,walking, cleaning up after them, playing with them and spending quality time with them. You can trust me with your pets I will make sure to give them love and have a consistent schedule.

About: I have grown up in a house with multiple dogs and cats, so I am extremely comfortable working with pets as being with them is all I have ever known. I participate in the Dog for a Day program at ACCT Philly, so I have experience in taking shelter dogs out for the day. I love taking my own dog on different adventures. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I have experience caring for timid rescues, energetic dogs, and dogs that have special needs such as medicine. I have experience caring for dogs both overnight and during the day. I am offering in home check ins/overnights, house sitting, and walking services. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends! I am a college student home for the summer. My dog and I live a very active life in the summer, as we go on many adventures to different lakes and hiking spots. I have done this with other dogs I have cared for and would love to do so with yours! I am used to doing some athletic activity with my dog at least once a day. As I have grown up with animals, I am familiar with body language and how to keep a house pet-safe. I am open to specific needs for your pet such as medicine, particular food, allergies, crate training, etc. Your pet will be cared for the same way I care for my own!

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since I was a small child. From a young age, I was helping neighbors by letting their dogs out and watching their cats while they were away. I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs—from my own tiny 7-pound Chihuahua to my dad’s large pack of hounds—and I’ve experienced every stage of life, from newborn litters to senior pets. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each animal, so you can trust that your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I currently just quit my full time job and I’m working on building my cleaning business. I’m excited to take on new pets to fill in my extra free time! I take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for every pet I look after. I treat each dog and cat as if they were my own, giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. You can count on me to stick to schedules, follow instructions, and provide a safe, loving environment so your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
“Chelsea saved our vacation! Our scheduled cat sitter had an emergency and we needed to quickly find a cat sitter for our two senior cats. Chelsea stepped right in and took great care of our kitties. We’re very thankful for her help. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was little, I have always loved caring for my own pets. I have always lived with at least one dog. I currently have a pug, two shitzus, a cat, and a bearded dragon. I enjoy giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve, and so my goal is to give the same to your pets! As summer is approaching, I will be available Monday through Friday during the week to work part-time to provide drop in/housesit and/or walking services to your dog(s). I live on a fully fenced property so dogs can run around freely without the need of a leash. Inside the house is very safe and each room has a door or gate. I only want the best for the pet I take into my home and for them to feel safe is a huge priority for me.
