“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“Tricia is such an incredible sitter! She provides the best pictures and updates and can handle any pet large or small. She is patient with her sitting subjects and their safety is her utmost priority. I will certainly book her again!”
“Natalie has been wonderful with Bixby. She's worked with us as we navigate this new energetic pup into our lives by providing both care for Bixby and frequent updates to us during his weekday walks!”
About: Growing up my family household had 2 dogs and many of my childhood friends had dogs that I would always hang out and play with! I also watch my brother’s two dogs from time to time and cat-sit for our friends and neighbors! So I have many years of experience with animals. As an adult, I have a cat (for 9 years) and a dog (for 4 years). I love cats and dogs, and would love to stop by, play and feed them when you need some help! My dog is reactive to people and other dogs, so I have experience with walking a reactive dog and took many training classes to help with her reactivity with both people and dogs! I understand how hard it can be with a reactive dog so I am willing to work with you to make sure you and your pup feel comfortable and safe with me. I can stop by and keep your cat or dog company, or take them out for long walks. I work from home and have plenty of time to play, feed and walk your precious animals! My schedule right now is very flexible and have plenty of availability to take care of your pet! Since I have a reactive dog myself, my services will not be provided in my home. But I can come to your house and make sure your pets are well taken care of. I am comfortable with crating dogs if needed.
About: - I prepare some treats for the services I offer!!! Please let me know if your dog has any allergies. - I offer drop-in visits that can include short walks! I have over 2 years of experience caring for my own poodle and have been responsible for his care since he was 3 months old. Because I raised him from a young age, I am familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention that puppies need. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and following a pet’s routine. I’m a Temple University student who is studying Biology under pre-med track. My class schedule is flexible throughout the week, which allow me to make time for pet care and work with different scheduling needs. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, and daily routines. I pay attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs to help make sure they are safe and comfortable during every visit.
“Jackie was amazing with my dog on her walks. She asked all the right questions in the meet and greet, sent great pictures and Reyna seemed to have a great time on her walks despite the snow. Will definitely book again!”
About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.
“Prompt, consistent, communicative, and flexible. Very easy to contact, update, and plan with. Willing and able to make specific tweaks based on client request and availability. Highly recommended, extremely consistent.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been taking care of them. Currently have two cats and two dogs. My wife calls me the cat whisperer. I work full time Monday through Friday but can stop before and after work as needed. I can be fully flexible on the weekends as needed. Our current animals eat twice a day and the cat’s litter box is cleaned daily. The dogs need walks and everyone needs cuddles. I change the litter fully bi-weekly.
“Juli was amazing! She sent so many amazing pictures, I wish I could have taken her with me when I moved because I’m having a hard time filling her shoes in a different city. My dog loved her, he was in great hands. If I’m ever back in Philly, she will be my go-to dog walker!”
About: Hi friends! I am a school psychologist & behavior consultant from Indiana ISO work while I obtain my professional licensure in Pennsylvania. I love furry friends and have never lived without pets!! I like kitties and doggos of all sizes and breeds, and promise to give your pets the same care and affection I give my own. Thank you for considering me 🤗 I am currently working part-time, and am very available throughout the week for walks, check-ins, feedings, or whatever care you need for your pets. I am most available weekdays during typical work hours. In terms of care, I like to follow specific instructions and preferences from each owner! I’m comfortable following whatever routine you have in place for your animals. I do not bring clients’ pets into my home, as we have 3 pets of our own who would start a riot if we did.
About: I've always loved animals and grew up with pet birds, dogs, hamsters, and currently have a senior cat. I started petsitting as a teenager and have continued to do so. Over the years I've taken care of big dogs, little dogs, cats (elderly and semi-feral included), chickens, and rabbits. I enjoy building a connection with animals at their pace, whether it's love at first treat or gaining trust from a distance. Although I am happy to care for any pet, big dogs have a special place in my heart. Comfortable with large and high energy dogs. Rover is my main gig, so I can accept last minute requests and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Unfortunately, my cat is an introvert so I don't offer boarding services. I do drop-ins and dogwalking. Respecting your home (and your fur baby's home) is high priority. Happy to accommodate in any way I can.
“Such a relief to have Amanda care for our pups. We have a reactive dog that doesn’t do well around other dogs. Amanda is highly skilled and knows how to handle Georgia when she goes into fits. Thank you, Amanda!! We are lucky to have you. 😁”
“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”
About: I grew up having an energetic beagle so I’m used to matching a dog’s high energy level. I now usually dog/housesit for family friends and volunteer to walk the dogs from Doggiestyles pet store. Just graduated from Drexel University so I have a lot of time throughout the summer, especially during day hours. Very flexible to match client’s schedule I usually follow the requests of the client and will check in the dogs every now and then to make sure they’re okay. I would check to make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to, but also keep them entertained if they seem bored
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for fifteen years! I have experience with many different breads ranging from a beagle to a black lab. My pet care experience includes taking care of all the basic needs for a dog and more! I also have experience administering medicine and with different kinds of food. I have experience with varying ages up till 18 years old. I have extensive experience with senior dogs as well. I am available most of the time during the day and night! I know many parks and dogs parks in the Philadelphia area that are safe and fun for all breeds and ages. I love cuddling, walking, playing and all things dogs. I promise to take care of your dog like it was my own. Having a pet myself means that your pet will fit right into our schedule no matter the request! I work from home most of the week allowing full attention on your fur babies. I have a a secure outdoor space for play and/or bathroom time! I am always vigilant and careful to give mine and your pets the appropriate attention they need.

Kathrine was great with our pup! This was actually our third time asking her to take care of our dog and cat, and once again she was wonderful. We were on an international trip and had absolutely no worries knowing our pets were in such good hands. Kathrine made sure our pup was well walked, cared for, and happy, and communication was always great. Very reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. we will definitely ask her again!
Cali is so kind, gentle, and patient. This was the first time we ever had a Dog Walker and our pup was nervous but she warmed up to Cali quickly. Cali was also prompt and great with communicating the details of their time together and sending pictures to make us comfortable while we were away!
Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.
