About: I grew up with two rescue dogs -- a calm corgi/blue heeler mix and a very high energy terrier mix -- so I can handle your pets personality, wherever they may fall on the size and energy spectrum! I have been watching neighbors' pets since I was 10 and continued into college, where I helped out as a dog sitter for my college president's two golden retrievers. In high school, I volunteered at an animal rescue, and more recently I volunteered as a dog walker at my local humane society. I look forward to getting the opportunity to meet your sweet (fur) babies! I have a flexible schedule and your pets are very important to me, so I can make time for them! I can be available during the workday. I will be sure to follow your instructions and guidelines to give your pet the best care I can! If there is any special information that I should be aware of, please let me know.

About: Hi my name is Sarah and I’m *almost* as hyper as your dog 🤣🩷 I’ve taken care of dogs professionally on and off for ten years, am confident w both dog sitting and shorter walks/check-ins, and have nearly full availability at this time. I am a runner, so can comfortably provide services that will tire out even the most hyper of dogs! I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medication needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I’ll do my darndest to make sure your pup has the best walk/day/*insert period of time here* EVER! 💞💞 I’m currently doing flexible remote work, so I have lots of availability to care for your pet! I am open to multi-day bookings and very flexible with longer term care as well as shorter check-ins and walks 🩷 I have essentially full availability on Fridays and weekends; the only time I am not available is 6-10pm on weekdays, as I’m currently in school for massage therapy :) Anything outside of that window is fair game! I take a very attentive and energetic approach, making sure to put safety first in everything. I absolutely love dogs and am very eager to explore the city and get moving myself, so I see dog-walking and pet sitting as something I get just as much out of as you and your pet! I do not currently have any pets in my home, so would be open to boarding in the future at my place in Fishtown (granted, probably a better idea for smaller dogs and cats, as my apartment isn’t ginormous).

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I give my own. From energetic pups to mellow seniors, I adapt to each dog’s needs and make every walk a positive, safe experience. I’m between jobs at the moment, which means I have a lot of flexibility and time to dedicate to dog walking. It’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to — getting outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. Your dog will be part of my daily routine, definitely will be taken care of like they’re my own. I love dogs and I’ll love yours!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care for pets like they’re my own. I’ve grown up around family pets and have experience helping care for them, along with dog walking and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk or quiet time at home, I keep things calm, familiar, and homey so they feel at ease the whole time. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I also go on daily runs, and I’m happy to include pets that enjoy being active and going for walks. I have open availability and a spacious two-bedroom home where pets can comfortably roam and feel at ease during overnight stays. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a clean, spacious space with cozy beds, toys, and plenty of attention so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, while making sure they get care, exercise, and companionship. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and well cared for.

John is the most caring considerate and informative dog walker. I have an older dog and she has only benefited from being with him, and he is constantly updating me on her progresses. She’s usually not friendly with other dogs and John has even gotten her to make a friend!! Do not hesitate and hire John right away!!!

About: Growing up in Italy surrounded by dogs, I developed an early and bond with animals. Up until a couple of years ago, I had a large dog, that I trained from puppy age. I understand the specific patience, strength, and confidence required to handle dogs safely. Whether it’s managing high energy on a walk or providing a calm environment for a senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I am comfortable with basic training reinforcement and am highly attentive to behavioral cues, ensuring your pet feels understood and secure in my care. Pet care is a part of my daily life. I work from home, which means your pet will rarely be left alone. I offer a "presence-heavy" environment where your dog can nap at our feet while I work or enjoy frequent play breaks in between meetings. Because I am available all week, including weekends, I can provide a consistent routine. Safety is my priority. In my home, I maintain a "paws-on-the-ground" policy, ensuring the environment is pet-proofed and free of hazards. When walking or visiting your home, I am hyper-vigilant about leash safety and surroundings. I believe in clear communication and will provide you with frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they are doing. Whether we are playing in the living room or out for a stroll, I focus on positive reinforcement and maintaining the specific boundaries and schedules you’ve already established for your pet.

Jack has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Birdie and Lucia. From the moment they met, Birdie didn’t even look back once she started walking with Jack, and she’s thrilled after every walk. Jack is very in tune with our dogs’ different personalities and needs, and we are so grateful to have someone so kind and trustworthy to care for our pets.

About: Hi, I'm Hannah. I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals through family, friends, and house sitting. While I don't currently have pets of my own, I love spending time with animals and getting to know each pet's unique personality. I provide thoughtful care, regular exercise, companionship and playtime, medication support when needed, and plenty of affection. I'm dependable, communicative, and respectful of established routines, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work flexibly and remotely, so I have the ability to be present and attentive throughout the day when housesitting. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and having a calm home environment. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping a pet company, I'm happy to build my schedule around their needs and routines. I don't have pets of my own, but I primarily care for pets in their own homes, where they're often happiest and most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs, and I follow care instructions carefully to provide consistent, attentive care. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and maintaining a calm environment, and I always send regular updates, including daily photos.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and recently raised adopted two perfect kittens! I’ve also spent a lot of time dog-sitting a wide variety of dogs! Last summer, I refined my dog-caring abilities by pet-sitting very consistently and gained experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescues, dogs with differing energy levels, and have administered medications. I’m happy to give your pets all the love and special care that they need! I’m currently working from home and have very flexible availability! I am open to last-minute requests and can easily work to accommodate changes. Whatever is best for you! I strive to make sure your pets always feel comfortable and that their routine is maintained to ensure they are happy and healthy! I love to learn pet personalities and adjust my care and my approach to pet sitting based on your pets’ specific needs and preferences!

About: I’ve been around animals basically my entire life. I just moved here from Key West, where I was the Marketing and Events Coordinator for the Florida Keys SPCA. During that time I got deeply involved in fostering and rehabilitating animals to get them adoption-ready, so there isn’t much I haven’t seen. Cats are my biggest area of expertise, but I’m just as good with dogs. I currently live with four cats of my own: two seniors, one who’s terrified of everything, and one with a neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. So if your pet has quirks, medical needs, or a personality, we’ll get along. In my free time, I’m exploring my new city, playing video games, and drawing. I will 100% draw your pet. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits in easily. For overnight stays, I’d set up my work area at your place and hang out with your pets throughout the day. I’d just need to head back to my house once a day to check on my own animals. I’m a homebody by nature, so I’m around most of the time. I occasionally have weekend plans, but your pet will always be my top priority and I plan around them, not the other way around. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication times, and any specific instructions exactly as the owner lays them out. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, so if something seems off with appetite, energy, bathroom habits- etc, I’ll notice it early and communicate right away. For safety, I always double-check doors, gates, and windows, keep harnesses and leashes secure on walks, and stay aware of any household hazards (cords, plants, foods, open balconies). I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how things are going.
