“Mochi absolutely loves Bryce. He is so sweet and accommodating to all her needs. Mochi is a bit of a diva and also has terrible separation anxiety, and he handles it all well and in stride. I will definitely be booking Mochi with Bryce again. I feel that he will be an integral part of her life and wellbeing, and he has come her fast friend. I highly recommend Bryce.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was in middle school. Family, friends, and neighbors have asked me to come care for their cats or dogs while they were away. I would love to come take your dog for a walk while you’re at work, check on your cat who might be lonely or need extra attention, and care for your pets while you’re out of town. I have experience with giving both cats and dogs medication. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available during week days, including normal work hours (9am-5pm), and part time on weekends, depending on availability. In my own home, I have one spoiled cat that I’ve had since she was 4 weeks old. She has enrichment toys and lots of play time. When I help friends and family with their pets, I talk to them about how I can best care for their pet. This could include how many walks a dog usually gets a day, the dogs temperament with routines like food or playing, and anything else they usually do for their pup. With cats, I also like to know their general temperament, feeding routines, and liter box changes (ideally scooping daily).

“Lauren was so wonderful to our kitties. They quickly warmed right up to here. She was easy to get in contact with leading up to, and throughout our time away, and she shared tons of pictures+videos. We’ll certainly book her again.”

“Absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took the time to do a meet and greet to meet our goldendoodle peaches. Asked questions about how we were transitioning her kibble and gave loving care to our puppy while we were away at work. Her reports are detailed with videos and pictures of all the fun they had and she even offered to clean my floors when they got dirty from the salt on our sidewalk from the snow storm we had last week. You will not regret booking her!”

“Jackie provided drop in visits for my senior dog over the holidays. She arrived on time for each visit, fed and walked my dog, and sent me a detailed update and photos after each visit. I would use Jackie in the future and highly recommend using her, your pup will be in good hands!”

About: We offer your pup double the care, love, and attention. We've both grown up with dogs and have cared for them since childhood, which gave us a strong foundation in understanding their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve expanded that experience by volunteering at animal shelters, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I work from home, so your dog will never be alone. Between the two of us, we make sure every pup in our care gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment. Whether it’s reinforcing training routines, daily walks, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to what your dog needs most. Your pet will be treated like family—because to us, they are. As a work-from-home sitter, your dog will have my attention and company all day long. Our neighborhood is surrounded by parks, including the wonderful Wissahickon Valley, so we'll enjoy lots of refreshing walks together to stay active. I offer pet care in my apartment which includes access to a large open yard and a designated dog park for exercise and recreation. Crate options are available for dogs that require or are accustomed to them.

“Brittany is very caring and the dogs love her! She’s been on time, professional and reliable.”

About: My sincere enthusiasm and practical expertise with dogs of all ages and demands are what make me unique as a dog sitter. I've been taking care of friends' and family's dogs for more than two years, making sure they were content, protected, and loved while their owners were gone. Additionally, I've volunteered at a number of animal shelters, where I've learned how to deal with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from energetic pups to elderly dogs in need of more care and attention. I've loved dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to treat each one as though it were my own. I'm here to provide dependable, caring care that is customized to your dog's needs, whether it be companionship, following a training schedule, or making sure your dog is active and comfortable. As a college student, pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I have regular breaks throughout the day and a very flexible schedule. Whether it’s between classes or after school, I can dedicate my time to caring for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. My frequent trips back and forth from school give me the opportunity to check in on your pet multiple times a day if needed, making it easy to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I’ve designed my schedule to prioritize flexibility, allowing me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry friend whenever it’s needed. I keep homes clean, maintain pets' routines, provide basic grooming if needed, and ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved during my care always!

About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.

“Madeline took excellent care of our big golden retriever! She came out to our house in the morning and evening to feed and walk him. She was always within the time frame that we requested and sent multiple pictures of him each time! Would highly recommend her to care for your dog!”
