About: Hi there! I'm a dedicated animal lover with several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, including senior animals and those with special needs. As a senior dog owner myself, with a pet who requires meds around the clock, I personally understand the importance of maintaining a vet recommended schedule. Our furry friends are what get us through each and everyday, I will treat your pet with the same level of care as if they were my own and follow all your instructions to the letter. Whether you need a reliable daily walker, a trusted sitter while you're away, or help with other care needs, I'm here to give your pet the attention, patience, and love they deserve. You can count on me to show up on time, communicate regularly, and always put your pet's comfort and safety first. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's happiness and I take both seriously. Caring for animals is a seamless part of my everyday life. My wrk/life schedule allows for me to be very flexible and provide ample quality care time for animals. If entrusted with your pet's care, I will give them the same level of attention as I give my own pet by making them my priority. I will respect all the rules of your household and ask all the necessary questions before beginning. My intention is to step into your pet's routine in a way that maintains their environment and provides additional support as an enhancement to both you and your pet's daily life.

We are so very grateful for Olivia’s care of our senior dog. She came to meet him and we had a good feeling about her right away. She has been punctual with her visits, quick to respond to any communication from us, and thorough with her reports of her time with our boy. We look forward to continued visits from Olivia, and our pup does too.

About: I’m a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with any and all pets! I have prior experience pet-sitting throughout high school and college and would love to watch/walk your pet. I live an active lifestyle and will be sure to make the most out of my time with your furry friend! I currently live in West Philly and am able to help walk pets/pet sit throughout the greater Philly area. I promise that your pet is my top-priority and that they will get all the love and care they deserve while I’m watching them. I currently work from home most days and can be available to pet sit during the day on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also have the flexibility to take your pet on walks in the morning and evenings on those weekdays and all day on weekends. I live in a building that is very pet friendly with a dedicated dog park and a fenced backyard space with little noise. I live within walking distance of several parks that are great for dog walking as well. I do not currently have any pets and as such will not create any conflicts with your pets if they are sensitive to unknown dogs/cats.

About: I’ve have dealt with many different animals at a very young age! I have watched animals for my friends and for family members are always happy with the fact they can come home and see their fur babies taken care of! I only work two days a week so my schedule is very open for playing and of taking care of your fur babies while you’re away! I have a fenced in back yard with multiple toys and bowls and bones that a dog could ever think of! I’m also very observant and will be sure nothing happens!

Jay did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for almost three weeks! Both of them clearly got enough playtime and love (I saw in pics one of them even did belly flops for Jay, which is normally reserved for my partner only) and all their dishes, litter boxes, etc. were in pristine condition. It's been the easiest transition back to their routine after a trip since we got them. Will definitely be booking with Jay again--would give 6 stars if I could!!

About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

About: I’m a dog mom of one dog. I rescued her from Puerto Rico a few years ago. I’ve also assisted in transporting dogs from Puerto Rico to the states. We have an active life and enjoy hiking. I will provide fun and activities for your dog. I can come to your house or the dog comes to my house. If you feel more comfortable with just your dog at my house that can be arranged. I know how some dogs sometimes prefer to be the only pet at home. I currently work at home and available all day. I can provide the constant attention your dog will need. I have a fenced in yard. I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby. I offer dog baths for an additional fee if interested.
