Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Bustleton, Philadelphia, PA

“Emily was incredibly thoughtful and caring! She took care of my cat with medical needs as a very last minute request (the day before I left). I was pretty stressed to leave Phoebe for the first time, but Emily made the experience as stress-free as possible. Emily was communicative and timely, sending me pictures and videos during each drop-in visit. During my trip, Phoebe threw up and Emily texted me promptly to evaluate the situation and continued to monitor her for the rest of the stay. Not to mention that Emily left my home tidier than when I left!! Emily is a great caregiver, and I will definitely request her services again. You should too!!”

“Brian was great with Tucker all the way from the meet and greet through the two check ins. He made our anxious dog feel comfortable and his communication is great and proactive. We highly recommend Brian and will be booking him for weekly services going forward!”

Amanda D.

“This was my first time to using Rover. Amber did a great job with my German Shepherd ( Atos ). She sent me pic from each visit which made me feel comfortable that Atos was well. She was very quick to respond and flexible with scheduling. Amber is very professional and a wonderful dog sitter. I will use her services again. Definitely recommend having her care for your dog.”

“Haley was great with our 6 ferrets while we were away. I get to leave them home and go on short trips with peace of mind knowing they are getting the play and care they need.”

Emily L.

“Jennifer was very helpful and able to help with only a few days notice, which was so appreciated! She spent time playing and making sure my Annabelle was checked in, fed and played with while I was gone. It put my mind at ease knowing Annabelle was in good hands. Jennifer is professional and kind and I would recommend her!”

About: Ever since i was a baby, dogs have always been right by my side. My 1st job wss my own dog walking service, now here i am full circle doing what i love. Pets are family, and when they are in my care they are treated as the favorite family member, spoils and all! As an adult i have always had a cat and a dog in my home and I am currently the dog dad to 1 furry friend and I am currently working on obtaining my dog behaviorist license. I also volunteer at the acctphilly shelter My schedule is flexible to accommodate those whose work life doesn't allow them to give their pet the optimal care and attention they would like to I have a fenced in yard and easy access to the outside. My neighborhood has ample natural space to allow for walking play time and training

“Rosabella was great with Loki. She definitely became his friend. She was consistent in her visits time and very thorough. She spent a lot of time giving him attention and love. I highly recommend her!”

About: Since I was a teenager, I’ve helped neighbors and friends care for their dogs and cats. It would range from daily walks, feeding, playtime, or puppy sitting. I’m also experienced in giving medications and understand the importance of patience and gentleness when it comes to pet health. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a second-year dental student, but I make time for pet care by building it into my daily or weekly routine. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and I don’t have any rules for pets as to where they shall sleep. I will feed the pets based on their schedule and administer medications when needs (if they take them of course).

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.

“First time using Rover and Julie. Julie arrived on time and followed my detailed instructions to a tee. My door keypad lock let me know when Julie had arrived and we communicated several times via text. She gave my cat his expected afternoon treat and she spent time with him in addition to food, water and litter. I will definitely use her again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

About: I’ve always been around animals my entire life. I’ve also help walked my neighbors dog and also also had my own dog. I also have fed and bathe dogs/cats before. Using me as a walker will insured you that I will treat your pet like my own family. I’m currently available every day with a very flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m working to build pet care into my full-time routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and helping families feel supported and stress-free while they’re away. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I’m ready to commit to it long-term. Since I only offer drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure your pet feels safe and respected in their own familiar space. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and routines. I’m mindful of locking doors, cleaning up after pets, and creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere during each visit.
