Pet Sitting Elmwood

About: We have been watching dogs throughout college and grad school at our house by the shore for 7 years. We wanted to continue watching our furry friends in the city! My boyfriend’s family bred Golden Retrievers growing up, and we are both very responsible and communicative with our stays. We have a 4 month old kitten who LOVES animals of all sizes! My boyfriend and I are both teachers! We have the exact same schedule and are home every day at 3pm as well as off weekends and holidays! We take our dogs on walks at the local park! If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem! We have a very quiet street and a lot of places to make sure they get the exercise they need!

“Very pleased with Lauren's tending to my kitties when their usual sitter was unavailable. Whatta' pleasant surprise to learn she was notonly available, but a very close neighbor! #convenience Will Definitely be booking when furture needs arise :-)”

“Kaydee took extra good care of my very senior boy who was in a splint/cast and required some additional gear and handling before going out. She left my place spotless, had great communication, and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Ana was absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful for her. She took care of our elderly, diabetic cat Hannah (who also has CKD) while my partner and I were away. Ana expertly administered the plethora of medications (oral and injectable) and checked Hannah’s blood glucose via glucometer. She was also extremely patient when feeding her and cleaned up after Hannah had a couple accidents in her bed. I was especially appreciative of Ana’s flexibility and attention to detail when Hannah’s needs changed shortly before my trip after we had booked. Ana was very communicative as well and sent us plenty of updates and pics during her check-ins. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who can manage complex cats like my own. A million thank you’s to Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”

“Alex was a great sitter for my cat! Juniper is pretty wary of strangers, and Alex was perfect at respecting her boundaries and space, all while caring for Juniper when I was away for a month. Alex provided thorough updates and always ensured all of my concerns were addressed!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and love walking, so I am looking forward to exploring new places with new companions :) My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home! Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.

“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Jay is so sweet and did a great job taking care of my cat. He’s usually shy with new people, but she took the time to help him get comfortable. She also did everything he needed in terms of food and medicine.”

About: I would do this for free if love was a currency everywhere else. I have taken care of pets my whole life; have become professional just recently. I understand pets have their own personalities, and that has to be respected. My priority is to provide safety, care, and compassion through communication, empathy, and understanding. Early evenings, nights, and weekends are my "hang with my buddies time". I'm free on most national holidays, and flexible for unusual timings, and vacations. My lunch time could be your pets time if locations line up. I love to go outside. My first instruction is from you, and then your pet. Communication is vital! Tell me what is needed, wanted, and desired- and we'll work on a plan that works for all of us.

“We had a fantastic experience. We booked her last minute while visiting Orlando for Universal, and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She even came the night before to meet us and our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. During each visit, she sent detailed updates and photos, and we felt completely confident our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, caring pet care.”

About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up in Linstead Jamaica, my family owned a small farm, where we tended goats and chickens. We also took care of 2 generations of Rottweilers, so for as long as I can remember, I have had pets. Because of this, I’ve gotten to care for dogs of all ages - from newborn to older, in sickness and health. Since moving to Philly in 2016, my family has rescued a Cat (Rocket) and a Shih Tzu (Betty White). Needless to say, if given the opportunity I will make sure to give not only care for, but love your pet! I am currently home full time. Feel free to reach out - I am available early mornings and nights, and for drop ins or house sittings when needed. I am also open to last minute bookings. I live with a family of 4. We live in a home in a very quiet neighborhood near Cobbs creek - with trails and parks within the vicinity. We currently do not have any of our own pets, but any pets we have cared for had the luxury of enjoying outdoors at almost any hour and to meet and play with other pets at different parks. As for drop ins, I will treat your home with the upmost respect.

“Zenith is very reliable and sent great updates of our cats. Definitely reccomend for drop in visits !”

About: My experience with dogs ranges from senior dogs, to big, rambunctious puppies and everything in between! I've never had my own cat but have many years of experience caring for others' felines. Whether you want someone to take your pup out and tire them out, or someone to snuggle your cat while you're away, I will love on them until you come back! Your pets will be in good hands with me; expect photos of our adventures! Even if it's a drop in, I'll be sure to keep you updated on anything adorable or out-of-the-ordinary. You can have piece of mind while you're away knowing that your dog is living their best life. I’m currently only taking drop in cat visits that can fit around my 40hr work week at the moment. My weekends are usually flexible, and I’m more than willing to try to work with the schedule you need on a case by case basis! I cannot offer board for pets in my current home. I will follow your wishes when caring for your pet. I will not leave your pet unsupervised outside, even in a fenced in yard. I know how fun and reassuring it is to get photos and updates, so I will make sure to send at least one daily if you are away overnight. I will make sure to communicate any concerns (injuries, unusual behavior, incidents) as they come up.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as i can remember. I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and geckos. As a professional pet companion, I have a handful of dedicated dog walking, checking, and house sitting clients as well as cat friends! I am looking forward to getting to know your pets personal preferences and supporting them live their best lives! I specialize in training dogs and supporting high needs pets in continuing their routines as close to normal in your absence! I have some existing dog walking/training clients and would love to add more. Let's have some adventures and promote your pets' wellness!! Flexible scheduling available. It is a vulnerable experience to allow folks into your home or to care for your loved ones. I appreciate the gravity of this and hold security and privacy in the highest regards. Can also provide references.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, or senior, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and reliable hands. 🐾💕 I’m currently working part-time so I am available everyday in the mornings. I will make time for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to ensure pets stay happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and prioritize their safety and well-being at all times. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain their pet's routine, and provide a calm, loving environment.

“This was the second time I booked Gabriella for a drop-in with my cat, Elliot, while I was on vacation. Super reliable and great with communication. I’d ask Gabriella to cat sit in the future - no hesitation!”
