“Emily was diligent and caring with our dog and cat during our weekend away. It was rainy all weekend and she made sure to dry our pup off as we requested. She sent lots of pictures and held the schedule that we asked for. 10/10 would request her again!”

“Georgia helped me last minute in a pinch and I’m so happy I found someone I can trust! She’s very knowledgeable and friendly. I’d give her 10 stars if I could! Definitely will use again.”

“Can't thank Elizabeth enough! We needed a drop in visit last minute. Elizabeth responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet within an hour. Elizabeth quickly bonded with Luna our 1 year old pitbull mix. We received updates and pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using Elizabeth in the future.”

About: I have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes (and also rabbits and cats). Im willing to walk, play, train and just be there for your fur baby. I also have experience with deaf dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed.

I have a large fenced in yard to exercise your pets in if needed. My favorite thing is going on long walks as well as off leash play and enrichment time.
“Julie was absolutely amazing with my kitties, and it was such a relief to know that they were in great hands while I was away! I loved getting the photos and thoughtful updates she provided, and my cats loved her! I would give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!”

“Tim is an absolute delight. Flexible and easy to work with. I was impressed at the meet and greet that he was completely unfazed when my little dogs were snarly and scared. He was so good with them and they both warmed up to him quickly. Having had other bad sitter experiences, I felt so at ease during my trip knowing that we had someone reliable giving our two dogs and two cats lots of love and attention. Can’t recommend him enough. He’ll take great care of your babies.”


About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.

My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands!

“Elena came to my house twice a day over Thanksgiving break and then, due to a family emergency, she agreed to extend the visits for another five days. She was so accommodating and flexible and took great care of my cat. It was a relief to know that he was in such good care while dealing with other family matters out of state. Highly recommend!”

10 out of 10!! Norah took care of my cat while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond. She communicated with me daily and sent pics of our cat. She is very observant and noticed that the automatic cat feeder was out of food. I would definitely rebook her. Thanks Norah!
