About: I have had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, hamsters, finches, and more. I have worked in a daycare and boarding facility as well so I have professional care under my belt as well! I am a tattoo artist who works 4 days a week in the shop, but my hours are flexible and I can work with your needs to a certain degree! I am able to check in and hang out with pets, administrate medicine and do whatever is needed! I will being respectful of your space. I can take your pups on their favorite walks, and keep to a routine if there is one! Whatever is needed I’ll make sure we are on the same page before hand and can get the best care for your fur babies!

“Lindsay is great! She took care of my cat Ajax over the Fourth of July. I appreciated that she was available last minute. I would recommend her to anyone in Philly who needs pet sitting.”

About: I have 15 years of experience working with animals of all types. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, and even worked on a horse farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I currently have 2 dogs and foster dogs through ACCT Philly, so I’m very used to helping pets settle into new environments with patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love. I’ve gained experience handling reactive and nervous dogs, reading body language, and helping them feel safe and supported. I’m confident with leash handling in busy, stimulating environments while prioritizing your pets safety and making walks fun and enjoyable. Whether your pet needs medications, strict feeding schedules, extra exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to follow their routine and provide the care they’re used to. When I’m not hanging out with animals, I’m a pediatric nurse working three days a week, taking care of others is what I love to do and Rover gives me the chance to spend my free time meeting more pets. My goal is simple, to make your time away as stress free as possible by giving your pet the attention, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own. I’m currently working as a pediatric nurse 3 days per week, I’d love to meet more pets in my free time and spend my days off doing what I love My goal is to make your pets comfortable in their own home by positive reinforcement, patience, and getting to know them all individually. I am able to work with pet parents to learn about their pets and what works for them

“Dan visited our cat and made sure he got lots of love while we were away. Our cat needs two types of medication and he handled it all and kept us updated, which was a huge relief. Was glad we booked with him for this trip!”

“Ariana and Andrew were so helpful! They took on our holiday booking need the week of our trip out of town which was so appreciated! Thanks again both!”

“We just moved to Manayunk and had to find someone to walk our Willow girl. We are so thankful we found Amanda. She goes above and beyond, and is so sweet with Willow. Thanks for making the move that much easier, Amanda!”


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: I've always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs. I work remotely full time but there’s lots of freedom and I’m able to pop out during the day if needed! Weekdays after 4 I’m usually available as well! And mornings 6-10am. I don’t currently have any pets in my home. I just moved to Philly last year, although we have family pets come visit often for extended stays! As for the client’s home, I follow the same rules they would! I think it varies for every client!
“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”

“Rachelle, was wonderful. She was so patient with our boys and gave them the time they needed to warm up yo here. Communication was great and we will certainly use her again in the future.”

“I’m very pleased with AnnaMaria’s catsitting: Snapdragon was well looked after, and she does a great job with administering medications and sending updates.”

“Always a pleasure to have John watch Peter and Paul. Constant updates and communication. I never feel stressed when we are away! The boys love him!”

“Hannah did a FANTASTIC job taking care of our cat Beanie! She went above and beyond while we were away for two weeks, helping administer medications to a sensitive and skittish cat with ease. She was very communicative and kind, and her daily updates and sweet photos gave us peace of mind. Will definitely book again!”

“This was John’s second time checking on Bogs and that Bogs approached and was more at ease is a huge sign of John’s respect for cat boundaries and autonomy and earning the trust with a calm demeanor. Bogs was happy and well taken care of when I got home! John was once again an excellent communicator and was able to check on everything I asked.”

“Amal was absolutely wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us before our trip so that we could show her what was needed for our two cats while we were gone. She was so attentive, jotted down notes, and was just so pleasant to communicate with. She took photos and shared updates each day. We felt so grateful to know that our two cats were being looked after by someone so professional and caring. We will absolutely book with Amal again in the future!”

Sarah is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of my cat, Punky, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s checking in on her. Sarah leaves a detailed report card after every visit, along with plenty of pictures, which I really appreciate—it’s so nice to get an update and see how Punky is doing while I’m away. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Chris is fantastic with both of our cats, especially our cat who has special needs! He takes very good care of him and confidently gives him a twice daily insulin injection. We feel confident leaving our cats with Chris and already rebooked! Highly recommend.

Christina dropped in on Benno the cat while we were away on a brief trip. I appreciate Christina's service for many things, here are 3. 1. Flexible: we knew we'd be out of town, we did not know when...until we did. 2. Excellent communication and responsiveness. 3. She is winning Benno over...Have already rebooked!

Sam was AMAZING! Patient, reliable, easygoing, and very tuned into my cat and her needs. Provided clear updates and lots of sweet pictures every day. I could tell my cat was happy, healthy, and calm thanks to Sam's care. Super easy to work with and looking forward to booking next time. 🏆

Casey was so incredibly kind and diligent with my two senior cats. They looked relaxed and happy at each check-in (which were always complete with cute pictures!) When we got home from vacation, the kitties were calm and sociable right away. Anyone who knows cats knows that means they were obviously well loved and cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have been happier with her help!
