“Clement took care of my cat and dog over a holiday week. He was communicative and enthusiastic about my pets. Such a pleasure to have him house/pet sit!”


2. Dan P.


“Dan and Alicia were absolutely wonderful with my dog Toby while I was away for a week. They sent daily updates with pictures and details on how Toby was doing. They took extra care of her needs and I can tell Toby really loved them and had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking them for my next vacay!!!”


3. Rachel B.

“Let me tell you: Rachel is the most amazing pet sitter. Reliable, communicative and above all - a magician! She gets my fussy little fellow to warm up and snuggle. He sits on her lap. This is stunning! I feel so confident when Rachel is there. This is an overnight job and Rachel is so considerate and caring of all the little details. She is an ACE.”

5. Syd V.

“Syd made a point of spending time with me and Pepper to get to know them first. They were on time and kept in touch with me while I was away. Everything was as I left it upon my return. Pepper was happy and Syd was so gracious. Will ask Syd to care for my home and my girl again!”


6. Kyle A.

“Kyle was absolutely excellent! He stayed with our 9 month old bernadoodle for the weekend at our place and he made sure to update us with pictures every chance he got. He spent so much time playing with our pup and taking great care of him. He was also incredibly respectful of our place and was very responsive. We will definitely be using Kyle again!”


7. Webb R.

“Webb was great and super flexible! We had to change our reservation times because we were visiting and unsure of our plans. I’m so grateful we chose Webb as our sitter because they allowed us to really experience Philadelphia and took great care of our boy Phil!”


8. Koffi A.

“Koffi was fantastic staying with our pets while we were away for a long weekend. Consistent communication, sending daily pictures, and a pleasure to work with overall! our dog and cat clearly enjoyed their time with him too, and we'd recommend Koffi to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dog. Also I have had my furbaby mia for almost 5 years.

I am also available for anything in the afternoon or at night because I work before or after walks I have a gated yard for your fur baby that they are able to run and relieve theirselves I also live near lots of tree areas which we can walk in that is always beautiful when in bloom.

11. Philip Mastrippolito

“Philip was amazing! Our pup is quite fearful and shy, but he warmed up to Philip right away and immediately we knew it was a great fit. He was very communicative and we got pictures all throughout the visit. We will definitely be using him again!”


12. Quanece & Malik T.


“Quanece and Malik were great! Our dogs have previously been more anxious but during their time with Quanece and Malik they were back to their typical behavior and temperament much sooner. They clearly enjoyed their time and knowing they were so well taken care of helped alleviate our concerns while away. We look forward to having them spend time with our pups again soon!”


13. Meghan R.

“Meghan is a rockstar! She took care of our dog Howie while we were away and couldn’t be happier knowing he had someone who loves dogs looking after him.”


14. Ana A.
“If you ask me a few words to describe Ana, she is a responsible person who is always thinking about others. Ana has had the opportunity to take care of my little Mailo and she has done it with great commitment and dedication. She loves my little one as if he were her own baby. I have been able to see the love and company he also gives to Mannie and Salem, his two babies. She is excellent at taking care of her pets. Totally recommended”




15. Jackie M.

“Jackie spent a week watching our dog Nina and our house and did an above and beyond job. Nina has high separation anxiety and can't be left alone long or she'll chew things, Jackie never let that happen. We came home to a happy dog, a clean home, and watered plants. She was very understanding when we got home late due to a travel delay.”




16. Marisol G.



“Marisol was wonderful house sitting for my White German Shepherd Wolf during an extended trip I recently took that included some challenging communication issues due to my remote location (no cellular). She responded through WhatsApp and reassured me daily that all was well. She took the job on short notice and was an absolute pleasure to interact with, and asked questions for clarification of anything that she was unsure about. I appreciated that, and her excellent care of Wolf.”


17. Sianneh V.

“Sianneh was an amazing pet/house sitter! She sent photos everyday and took such good care of our babies. Will definitely contact her for all our future pet sitting needs!”


18. Brandi W.

“Brandi is great! She was wonderful with my pup, sent lots of photos & updates, and she left my house cleaner than it was before. 10/10 recommend.”


19. Christina M.
“Christina was so great with our greyhound, Minerva! Christina stayed at our home and gave us daily updates. Minerva was happy and calm when we returned home, so we know she felt comfortable with Christina. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”


20. Yaniera T.

“Yaniera is AMAZING. She will take absolutely extraordinary care of your animals and she will make sure to keep you updated at every step. We felt no trepidation having her look after our two cats for two weeks while out of the country. She’s the best!!”
