Top rated Fishtown doggy day care sitters

“Summer LOVED staying with Kelly! She took such good care of her for the days she spent with Summer. She was fast to respond, sent updates & photos. Communication was outstanding and I’ll definitely have Kelly watch over Summer in the future!”


“Serena was amazing with communication throughout the day, messages and pictures, and super great to deal with. Kai came back home tired and happy from a fun day! Super recommended!”


“Quynh made our first rover experience so easy! Quick to respond and accommodated our early drop off time. It was our puppy’s first time alone with someone new and she loved it! Quynh made sure Britney got enough exercise and rest and we’re soo grateful! Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Sarah was an amazing sitter! Took great care of our dog. Our buddy had so much fun playing with her dog. Kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Shared some her food with our boy and super accommodating when we were running late to pick him up. Definitely recommend and gladly have her watch our pup again.”


“Michelle and Khan took great care of Gummy! She was so happy when I picked her up. They were very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates on gummy. Will definitively be booking with them again soon :) Thank you so much for taking care of my baby!!”


“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”


“Christie & Drew were absolutely amazing, and we are so lucky to have found them. They were available last minute for 3 of my 12 hour shifts in a row. I was so nervous to use Rover for the first time for my 8 m.o. pup, but they took the best care of Zeke and he always came home a happy and sleepy puppy at night. By Zeke’s 3rd day in a row of going to their home for the same routine, he was sitting in front of their door at drop off time, wagging his tail, and ran up their stairs immediately without looking back at me to greet everyone 😂 he was clearly so happy to be back with two of his favorite sitters & their sweet baby Margot! We are so grateful for them and Zeke cannot wait to come back! 🥰”


“Michelle is awesome! Wylie clearly had a blast, judging by the pictures and video. Great communication and easy drop off and pickup... Michelle will be our #1 go to when we're in the area. Thank You!”


“Yelian was a perfect sitter! We had a last minute evening night out planned and she quickly responded, took great care of our special needs furry baby, and was outgoing, professional and accommodating.”


“Highly recommend! Thank you so much for watching our pup on such short notice. Would recommend to anyone looking for a kind, caring pet sitter.”


“John was awesome with my puppy Blue! Super appreciate how flexible he was. He accepted my booking request the night before my pup’s visit, and was flexible to accommodate my late night pick-up (and the option for Blue to stay the night if needed). The text updates and pictures sent made me feel so much better over Blue’s stay too as it was my first time getting a sitter. Thank you John!”


“We had a mixup on timing (my fault) and Paula was great! Understanding and flexible!! Most appreciate it. Oh yes and my doggie is so happy with her!”


“Patricia doggy sat our boy Max for a day while we looked around Philadelphia. She was great, you could tell she really loved animals. Max was immediately comfortable even though he had never met Patricia. I have no hesitancy in recommending Patricia to look after your pets. Julie”


About: I understand that every dog has their own story. I once cared for Bella, a rescue terrified of loud sounds. Through soft reassurance, short confidence-building walks, and trust-building games, she found her smile again. I’m trained in puppy basics, senior care, and calming techniques for anxious pets. Many dogs get misunderstood as aggressive for their size or barking habits. I prefer understanding the underlying issue that makes a dog nervous and I patiently help them overcome those. I helped my friend’s very anxious dog Ralphie feel reduced anxiety in 2 weeks, when I figured out his anxiety stemmed from abandonment issues. My goal is to give your dog not just care, but comfort, love, and a safe space where they feel truly at home. I work from home and can accommodate urgent requests. I am an early morning person, wake up at 6 am and go to bed by 10-10.30 pm. I am working on my Arielist skills and thus spend most of my weekend working towards getting better at it at home. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a safe, pet-proofed environment where they’re treated like family. I maintain secure gates, remove any hazards, and provide cozy spaces for rest and relaxation. I use premium quality dog wet food and quality treats. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime indoors and in a fenced outdoor area, with plenty of enrichment toys and cuddle breaks. I keep fresh water available at all times, follow each dog’s feeding and exercise schedule, and use positive reinforcement to make them feel confident and loved. My goal is for every pup to leave my home happy, healthy, and excited to come back.

“Iliana is an awesome, caring dog sitter. Our first time with her. She sent photos and texted and Barney enjoyed his time with her and her other puppies. We highly recommend her and with use her again.”


About: Grew up between the city and country always around pets! I used to volunteer at the SPCA and I also fostered cats with ACCT for a long time. I have lots of experience with young cats and patience with dogs that need time to warm up to you! I’ve trained dogs before for walking and a few tricks as well. Currently I’m the designated cat caretaker friend and constantly take care of my friends cats Currently laid off so I’m hoping to be available for care very frequently! I have a flexible schedule as even when I was employed I worked from home. If I go to someone’s house I like to get to know the place in case anything is needed, or there’s an emergency. When I come over I make sure to removed anything that might be harmful and give them space to get comfortable.

“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Daniela! From the moment I dropped off Zazah, I knew she was in loving hands.

She is great with both high energy dogs and extreme scaredy cats. They all seem to trust her good energy! Highly recommend Camila's caregiving!”
