“Brittany has been a lifesaver walking my 75lb hippo-headed put bull while I’m at work. She’s so flexible and communicative! Highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”

“Kristina was communicative and great with my dog! She took him on a long walk and gave me lots of updates and pictures, highly dependable and great communication!”

About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.

About: My experience is primarily with dogs. My family’s dog lived to be 16 who developed blindness and needed many oral and topical medications. I have dog sat for neighborhood families, family members, and friends with dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels. I also lived with and helped care for a roommates cat for part of college. I am a nurse rotating between day and night shift so my schedule varies but allows for flexibility! I love to go on walks so I would love for your pet to join my routine! I will ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in its surroundings through establishing clear and consistent communication with you to better understand their needs.

“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”

“Tarik walked my dog for the first time and was great. He was responsive, took great care of my pup who was a little apprehensive about walking with a stranger but he made her feel relaxed and comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend Tarik!”

Nina L.

“Alex was great with walking Bodhi. He communicated well, was always prompt and was super flexible. Look forward to having him take care of and walk Bodhi again!”

Khaled I.

“Brian was incredibly thoughtful and flexible with my dog who's skittish around new people. Went above and beyond thinking through ways that we could help her be comfortable. Was also very flexible with my schedule that ended up being a little crazy.”

About: Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.

“Thank you so much for taking my boy on such a wonderful midday sniffari! He looks so happy!”

About: I am an experienced animal foster, and dog walker. My family being well-aware of my love of animals, I've been caring for and walking family members' dogs for years. My patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness will ensure that your dog will be in good hands. I am very flexible and trustworthy. I will ensure to honor any special requests and needs that your pet needs. I am experienced with administering oral and topical medication, and pay close attention to any special diet that needs to be followed. I will also strive to earn your trust, since I understand that it can be difficult to leave your beloved pet in the hands of someone that is not yourself. Furthermore, I love getting and giving attention from dogs and cats alike! I work in office Monday-Friday, however my office is only a few blocks away and I am able to come back during lunchtime to spend time with your pup! I live in an apartment building with an elevator in case of mobility issues. There are no other pets or children in the apartment. I can crate your pet if necessary. If boarding in your home, I will respect and treat your home with care. I will keep in contact and provide updates of your pet.

About: I have been working around/living with dogs for my entire life. I will always be sure to give your pups extra love and attention while they are missing you while following all of your requests. Walks and playtime or whatever you want can be done at whatever intervals your request. I can also take dogs to the wonderful, award winning, local dog parks. Since they will be missing you, I will be sure to provide extra love and care to make them comfortable while they are staying with me. I live right by an animal hospital in case of emergencies as well. I also am very familiar with any dog allergies/things they cannot eat. I am careful to keep anything dangerous out of reach and off of counters.

About: I've got a lot of experience with pet care, especially with dogs. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my dedication to their well-being and ensuring they feel loved and safe. I specialize in training puppies and providing excellent senior care for older dogs. I believe that every dog deserves the best care possible, and I strive to provide that for each furry friend I look after. If you ever need advice on training puppies or caring for senior dogs, feel free to ask me! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize the well-being of my furry friends by incorporating feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime into my daily schedule. Training sessions are also crucial to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. My pets are like family to me, so I always ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve every day. I make sure to provide a safe, trustworthy environment for pets in both my home and my client's home. Depending on the service I offer, I tailor my care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet. This can include feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive. I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats/kittens for friends and family members through college and post-grad. I love to walk my friends' dogs through places like Rittenhouse Square, where both they and I can enjoy the nice scenery. Another plus -- I'm an incoming medical student with experience working with all types of patients. I would love to care for your pet with the same kind of respect, responsibility, and compassion! I'm currently working 9 AM to 5 PM, but can be flexible during the mornings, evenings, and weekends! I live near Rittenhouse Square, so I am conveniently close to many hotspot locations. As a highly meticulous person, I always aim to provide attentive, reliable, and tailored care, following all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable. I maintain a clean, safe space, ensure fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m also highly communicative, and will keep owners updated as frequently or in frequently with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner, caring for both cats and dogs throughout my life. Over the past year and a half, I’ve also opened my home as a foster, welcoming four animals (two cats and two dogs), each with unique personalities and care needs. Through fostering, I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting pets with medical conditions, including allergies, feline asthma, and post-surgical recovery. I’ve also worked closely with a professional trainer to better understand and manage reactivity in dogs, giving me practical tools to support pets who may need extra patience and structure. In addition to fostering, I’ve been trusted by multiple households as a repeat cat/dog sitter, caring for their cats across several visits and maintaining consistent, attentive care each time. In addition, I’ve cared for a family dog with epilepsy, administering daily liquid medication (Keppra) and ensuring consistent, attentive care. I approach every animal with compassion, attentiveness, and a deep respect for their individual needs, aiming to provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while you’re away. I am currently a self-employed psychotherapist that works fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to attend and provide love & care to your pets (feeds, walks, pets and attention). I prioritize a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, pets are supervised in a clean, pet-friendly space, and I take care to maintain routines that help them feel comfortable and secure. Although I am located in Rittenhouse, my apartment complex is calm and quiet, which reduces chances for environmental stress on pets. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I respect each home as if it were my own and follow all instructions closely to ensure consistency and safety. I provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind of the owners.
