“Caitlin took care of our high energy, senior pitbull while we went away! She was very communicative and thorough. She patiently learned our dog's commands and habits and kept her safe while walking (she is reactive). We came home to a happy pup and well taken care of house. Will definitely book again!”


“Nikki was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Georgie, while we were away. Her updates were great and put our minds at ease. We came home to a relaxed and content pup - always the best sign! Thank you, Nikki, for treating him like one of your own!”


“Christina stayed in our home to petsit, and was great! Took the time to come before our trip to meet the pets and go over instructions, which she followed to a tee. Provided regular photos and updates, and quickly responded when we reached out. We came home to a clean house and two very well-taken care of pets. Would definitely recommend Christina, and will definitely reach out again the next time we need a sitter!”


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.

“Dylan was great with our Dog Millie. He was responsive and willing to work with our schedule. Millie was happy and we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely use Dylan again and recommend him to our friends and family.”


“Amber was amazing from our first messages to when we got back home. She took excellent care of our sweet dog, took him on at least two walks per day, played with him and provided lots of photos and updates every evening. Our house was in even better condition than we left it. Communication was easy and prompt. I want to take more short trips now that we have a trusted dog sitter. I highly recommend Amber.”


“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”



“We’ve had Dana petsit our cat & dog a few times. Dana is awesome. Dana has shown our pets so much love and care and given us a lot of encouragement when we want to travel, knowing that our pets will be happy and safe!!!!!! Seriously, the best!”


“Katelyn was very nice sociable and very good with Coco Chanel. She sent updates with pics we didnt hsve to worry at all, which was such a relief, as not all sitters are attentive to our pet. We appreciate her help, and you will too!”



“Hannah was great. we had some last minute changes in our plans and she adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. She checked in each day with how things were going and sent pics of the dogs. We felt that they were in good hands. I can enthusiastically recommend her.”


“This was our first time using Rover, and everything went great! Barb is warm and professional, and our pup Alma just loved her. Barb came to meet her ahead of time, and Alma was so excited when she came back to stay. Barb sent updates, including that Alma ate all her food (which doesn't always happen when we're away), and communicated well both before her stay and during. We hope to have her back!”


“Christina was a great fit for our two senior dogs. Both are reactive and have leash anxiety, so having someone calm and comfortable with energetic dogs was essential. We’d definitely book her again.”


“Danielle was amazing, Bandit and Fin loved her!! She sent photos daily without us asking and she left the house absolutely spotless after staying here for a few nights. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Kiana was amazing! She kept in contact, was super easy to get ahold of, and even did a little extra when we found a bees nest right before we left for vacation! The dogs loved her and even my cat, who barely shows herself, allowed picture updates! She left the house exactly as we left it and even did a little extra! Would definitely recommend and use her again!”


“Ceara took great care of our dog and home while on a last minute trip. She was patient and attentive to our elderly pup. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”


“Melissa is amazing! She took great care of our senior dog, is attentive to detail, and a superb communicator. She left our house spotless. We would totally trust her anytime to take care of our pup!”


About: My sister Karen and I dog sit together, offering your pup double the care, love, and attention. We've both grown up with dogs and have cared for them since childhood, which gave us a strong foundation in understanding their needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve expanded that experience by volunteering at animal shelters, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I work from home, so your dog will never be alone. Between the two of us, we make sure every pup in our care gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment. Whether it’s reinforcing training routines, daily walks, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to what your dog needs most. Your pet will be treated like family—because to us, they are. As a work-from-home sitter, your dog will have my attention and company all day long. Our neighborhood is surrounded by parks, including the wonderful Wissahickon Valley, so we'll enjoy lots of refreshing walks together to stay active. I offer pet care in my apartment which includes access to a large open yard and a designated dog park for exercise and recreation. Crate options are available for dogs that require or are accustomed to them.

“Nija was such an attentive and flexible sitter. Our dog got long walks, scratches and more and our cat was so happy to see her every day. There is nothing better than getting pet mail daily from her.”

Jimmy M.
“My dog Bella had a tough early life, so she's quite anxious with new people. It takes time to get her to open up to people, but Jimmy and Karen have the incredible patience to work with her. Whether it's a quick walk, or an overnight stay, they took the time to make sure she felt safe and comfortable at her own pace. Now she gets so excited when she sees them; wiggles, kisses, the whole nine-yards! 😁 I'm so lucky to have found them, they have truly made life so much easier!”
