She was professional, kind, and made sure Tully felt comfortable and cared for. Christina provided a great update afterward, which I really appreciated.

About: I have grown up with large dogs, specifically Great Pyrenees, and cats since birth. This early experience gave me a great understanding of animal body language and I feel confident when forming relationships with new animals. In addition, I am comfortable with pets of all sizes (big pups welcome!) From brushing to administering medication, I am experienced in providing everything your pet needs to thrive. I am currently working full-time from home and would love to walk/check-in on your pet during my mid-day break! Additionally, I will be available in the mornings before 8am and after 4pm. I am available most weekends anytime of day. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I would be happy to care for your pet in yours. I prefer to learn the rhythms and routines that you have with your pet so that I can create the most comfortable and consistent experience possible.

About: Hi! My name is Nicolle and I’m a true dog lover. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family while you’re away — with lots of love, cuddles, and attention. I work from home, so your dog will never feel alone and will always have company, care, and a calm environment. Whether your pup loves to play or just chill on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Since I work from home, I’m able to provide your dog with constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. My routine includes regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention, ensuring your pup gets plenty of exercise and love. We also have a huge backyard where dogs love to run and play safely — it’s one of their favorite spots! I’m flexible with feeding schedules and happy to accommodate any special care needs. Whether it’s a cozy nap or zoomies in the yard, your dog will feel right at home here! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific needs they have. I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment throughout the day. With a large backyard and a peaceful home, dogs can play, relax, and feel secure while you’re away. I always send regular updates and photos to keep you connected to your pup!
“Tim was great- he was very responsive to my messages, seems to know a lot about dogs, and would do enrichment with my dog in addition to simply walking her.

She was on time, very good at learning how to put on my dogs jacket and gentle leader. She gave my dog on nice long walks which were good to tire out my dog. You won't go wrong with Megan walking your dog.”
About: I am a PhD student at Temple with a very flexible schedule to be able to care for your pets! I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals (like rabbits & rats). I am available to stay at your home while you are away or just stop by your home at specified times - whatever is best for your pets and their routine! I can also water plants or do any other odds and ends that may need to be done while you are away. Happy to provide references upon request. Please feel free to contact me for any of your pet sitting needs! My experience administering medication: I have experience administering medication via syringe as well as pills. I am currently working from home on my PhD, so my schedule can be very flexible and adaptable to whatever routines your animals are used to! I care for animals in my client's home as if they are my own. I work from home, so I am able to spend a a good amount of quality time in your home with your pets. I have three cats of my own, so I am unable to care for animals in my own home unless they are known to be cat friendly.
“My dog immediately loved Ceara! He’s people and dog reactive so imagine my surprise. Ceara communicates well and is always on time. She listens to your instructions but is also incredibly kind with the dogs. I can see why she’s a star sitter!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats (and a few reptiles and rodents) since I was a young spud, and want to extend a hand to help each pet owner provide a time of stress reducing, fun, energy releasing, quality time with your companions! I am someone that prefers to stay busy! I have a career in the side that allows me to create my own schedule, and due to its extreme physical demands, I am looking to balance that work with other activities. I am a huge fan of going on walks and exploring new nature paths! Spending time outside and moving around is huge key to feeling great, and having outside time to get the zoomies out works great for myself and my pets.
