About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for the past 4 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all different personalities and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or your cat just wants some extra cuddles, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Since I work from home, my routine is naturally flexible and pet-friendly! I’m home for most of the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship, attention, and care rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I like to start my day with some fresh air and a walk, and I’m happy to build in additional walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddle time throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy keeping a calm, comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of supervision, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! 🐾
“Amanda has been an amazing Care Giver for my dog Diesel. I have booked her two times now and each time she’s has been excellent. She has great communication that is timely and informative. She quickly connected with Diesel who is very protective of our home, and made him feel loved. I will definitely continue to hire Amanda for my needs with Diesel!”


About: Hi, I’m Cynthia! I am experienced pet parent and have had my dog, a super friendly couch potato Bassett Lab mix named Tucker, for over a decade now. I grew up with cats and frequently pet sit for friends and neighbors by doing drop in visits and walks. I have experience with both small and large dogs, and love to get my steps in with walks! We take our dog out for a 30 minute walk every morning, as well as shorter walks and play throughout the day as my husband and I both have flexible hours and work from home. The care and safety of your pet is of the utmost importance to me and I’d treat all of them as if they were my own. Thanks for considering me for your furry family member, and I look forward to meeting them! I’m recently laid off from my long time job as a project manager and have unlimited time to make your pet’s life the best it can be :) I have trained my dog from puppy school through to puppy college aka therapy dog school and am well attuned to the needs of a dog in training. I’m comfortable following any guidelines you set out, and strive to leave any place better than I found it.
About: NEW: The Chopperoni now accepts daycare guests! NEW: The Chopperoni now accepts dog walking requests! Welcome to The Chopperoni, a doggy homestay hotel located near Fishtown in Philly! ✨ Hello, dear humans and pupperonis! My name is Kira and I'm the head Chopperone at the Chopperoni, named so after my weiner boy Chopper. I'm a semi-retired programmer who works in app development and consulting. I work from home about 0-10 hours a week, which allows me to pursue pet-sitting as a full-time hobby! All profits go towards new toys, treats, and supplies. We welcome all pups 40lbs and under, and here's a list of what you can expect from your baby's stay with us: • 3-4 daily walks (more if needed) • Dogs welcome on all furniture and sleep in bed with me • 10-20 photos PER DAY • Playtime tailored to your dog's preferences and energy level • Plenty of cuddles and affection for dogs who enjoy them • Respectful space for independent, shy, or low-contact dogs • Playmates for maximum socialization! There are 3 resident dogs and I host up to 3 boarders at a time. We are either napping, going for a walk, playing, or sleeping together 🤣🤣🤣 • Meet and Greets are required to ensure all dogs get along! As a devoted dog mom, I know how hard it can be to leave your babies in someone else's care. But I'm here to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where both you and your pup can feel at ease. Thanks to being semi-retired, I'm pretty much around all day every day and can give the pups plenty of attention and companionship. They will enjoy 3–4 walks daily (or more if needed), along with dedicated playtime tailored to their individual personalities, energy levels, and preferences. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and are free to sleep in bed with me if they choose. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax, I'll do my best to make them feel right at home! I've had two rescue dogs of my own since 2021, both of whom I adopted when they were 5–6 years old. My experience with dog care goes back even further, helping care for a family member's senior dog and was heavily involved in their daily routine. I'm especially experienced with senior dogs, administering medications, basic grooming, and caring for pups who may be anxious, independent, mildly grumpy, or simply prefer having their own space respected. At the same time, I'm active and energetic enough to keep up with younger dogs and those young at heart. I'm happy to match their energy level and make sure they get the physical and mental stimulation they need. I am home pretty much all the time! I have so much free time I can literally give the dogs my attention all day haha I only leave for 1-2 hours at a time to run my errands. My two-story apartment has 3 friendly dogs (1 tiny, 1 small, 1 medium) and all dogs are allowed to roam freely. The basement where my bedroom is has a big living space that's perfect for playing. There's a grassy patch of land across the street where we take the dogs for potty breaks, and we usually take the dogs to Norris Square for their walks.

“Sarah was great! Communicative, super friendly, and was able to accommodate my last minute request. Mochi had a great time, all thanks to them! I would recommend Sarah!”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors. I am available for check-ins mornings, mid afternoon, and evenings as well as overnight care as needed. I am not currently available for boarding dogs at my home. I do not accept sitting requests for unspayed/unneutered dogs. I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.
“My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!”

“John has been so great walking our dog! He has been reliable and takes him on great walks, and our dog seems to really like him. He really took time to get to know him and we so appreciate that. Sometimes we also get really fun creative summaries of how Palmer did and what their walk was like- which is my favorite part! It’s so nice that he makes us feel included and up to date while we’re away from our dog.”

About: Hi I love pets, I mostly have experience with cats. I personally have a cat of my own and have volunteered at various animal shelters. I’m currently working full time. I primarily work in the morning and afternoon Monday through Friday so I will be available evenings and weekends to take care of your pets. I am open to caring for your pets in the comfort of your home this will ensure your pet to feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. My services are walking and house sitting.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life, as I’ve come from an animal loving family! I’ve additionally pet sit for friends and family and am comfortable with adapting to different energies as well as administering special diets and medications. I’m a fairly active person who loves getting out of the house and moving, and my neighborhood is very walkable- full of one way streets and wide sidewalks! My boarding rate is higher than my other rates because I only ever board one pet at a time. Your pet will be getting individual, dedicated care in a safe environment! I work remotely, so am home most of the day. I am available for regular care of your pet and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to take breaks as needed! My home is pet and smoke and pet free, and the back patio has six foot high cement walls. I have a pet gate on my staircase for when I leave the house, so no fear if your furry friend likes to scrounge in clothing or laundry! Additionally, the entrance to my house has a secondary door which is always closed, so there’s no chance of accidental pet breakouts while entering or leaving the house.
“AnnaMaria was punctual, considerate, very accommodating, and professional. Her questions about taking care of my dog were very thorough, asking me for important information I had totally forgotten to mention. Also just a very nice person!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of who I am. I also worked as an animal care technician for 2 years at the Richmond SPCA, where I gained hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — including rescues, senior animals, and those with special needs. From administering medication and supporting behavioral training to providing lots of love and enrichment, I bring both professional training and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. I pride myself on being attentive, dependable, and communicative — you can always count on photo updates and thoughtful care tailored to your pet’s needs. I work a 9–5, but I’m remote two days a week and available most weekends. I can accommodate lunchtime walks, evening visits, and flexible overnight care. I’m happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet gets the attention and love they deserve — whether it's a midday walk or a weekend stay, your pet will be in good hands. I'll care for your pet right in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I will follow their usual routine — walks, meals, meds, bedtime — to make sure they feel safe and loved. I will treat your home with respect and keep you updated with regular photos and check-ins. I will do everything I can to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind.

I highly recommend Sarah - she's amazing! Accepted a very last minute request when I unexpectedly needed 2 midday walks for my pup. She was even willing to forgo a meet & greet due to the timeline, but followed my written instructions to a T. My dog is a deaf and friendly, but quirky, Australian Shepherd. Sarah did a good job handling him, and I could tell he really enjoyed the long walks she took him on. Thank you Sarah!

Amanda was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My pup who can be skittish at times with new people instantly took to her. It was my pup’s birthday and his first walk without me. Amanda did a great job. I cannot thank her enough for caring for my little guy, and keeping him safe. I will absolutely be scheduling more walks with her soon.

Amy is the best! It is so evident how much she loves and cares for other people’s pets and our dogs adore her. She is very communicative and accommodating and does her job exceptionally well. We are very lucky to have someone like her watch our dogs when we’re away!

Alejandra was fantastic. I needed a dog walker last minute and she was able to accommodate. She was super communicative and friendly, followed my instructions to a T and took lots of photo updates of Mochi for me. Would 100% recommend and use her services again :)

Paulina has been so incredible helping us with Hank while we were away! She has been so responsive and sends us lots of updates and photos which we appreciate so much! It gives us such good peace of mind to know he is will taken care of. We highly recommend Paulina to anyone who needs assistance with their dogs/ animals!!

Caroline did an excellent job with Norman. She’s thoughtful and caring and sent many updates on their time together. I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and he came back so calm and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who was looking for care, and we will certainly be calling her again!
