House Sitting Harrowgate

“This was my first time ever using Rover and Christina was so amazing to our two boys!!! She was easy to get in touch with and provided a lot of pictures of the cats! When we came home the boys were calm and happy!!! Will definitely be using her again!!!! Highly recommend 🥰”

“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”

About: Hi my name is Sarah and I’m *almost* as hyper as your dog 🤣🩷 I’ve taken care of dogs professionally on and off for ten years, am confident w both dog sitting and shorter walks/check-ins, and have nearly full availability at this time. I am a runner, so can comfortably provide services that will tire out even the most hyper of dogs! I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medication needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I’ll do my darndest to make sure your pup has the best walk/day/*insert period of time here* EVER! 💞💞 I’m currently doing flexible remote work, so I have lots of availability to care for your pet! I am open to multi-day bookings and very flexible with longer term care as well as shorter check-ins and walks 🩷 I have essentially full availability on Fridays and weekends; the only time I am not available is 6-10pm on weekdays, as I’m currently in school for massage therapy :) Anything outside of that window is fair game! I take a very attentive and energetic approach, making sure to put safety first in everything. I absolutely love dogs and am very eager to explore the city and get moving myself, so I see dog-walking and pet sitting as something I get just as much out of as you and your pet! I do not currently have any pets in my home, so would be open to boarding in the future at my place in Fishtown (granted, probably a better idea for smaller dogs and cats, as my apartment isn’t ginormous).

“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”

Natasha R.

“Amazing sitter. Left the house spotless (after staying a full 7 days) and our large and somewhat needy dog was happy healthy and well cared for. Managed oral and topical medications with ease. Very communicative with plenty of photo/text updates. Would positively recommend her to anyone!”

Cazzie M.

“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”

Jake J.

“Sabina did an amazing job sitting my cats over the holidays! i was in a last-minute bind and looking for overnight help for my two cats and she was kind enough to take the job and go above and beyond to care for my babies/send updates. it was so nice being able to have some peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. would highly recommend!”

Nina R.

“Very communicative and paid very good attention to my dog. My dog is leash reactive and hyperactive and she was able to give him all the attention he needed.”

Kathleen W.

“Olivia did an amazing job watching our dog and two cats. She communicated with us frequently, sent tons of adorable pictures, and genuinely cared for our pets. We will absolutely be booking her again!!! Thank you so much Olivia.”

Megan D.

“Alexandria was wonderful with Bella. She took great care of her and sent us photos indicating that our Bella was completely comfortable with Alexandria!”

Anne C.

“Vanessa did a great job watching after Barnaby for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout, which brought me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I'd highly recommend her as a sitter.”

“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. 😉♥️”

About: I have always had a dog since I was a child. I currently have a 6 year old shepherd mix Parsley. He's the only person who likes hanging out with dogs in my house more than me and my partner. I have plenty of experience watching other dogs - my friends and I watch each others dogs when we're out of town and its always a joy. Parsley loves to play with other dogs but is also great at reading a vibe. If your dog doesn't like to play Parsley is more than happy to give them their space. I also have experience with reactive dogs. In the last year we lost our other dog Franz. We loved having Franz but he was not an easy dog. He was reactive towards people and other dogs and we managed him very well - taking extreme caution to make sure there were no altercations with anyone or their pets. I work from home so can be very attentive and I already take Parsley on 2 45 minute walks a day so your pet will get plenty of exercise. We'd love to have your dog come have a hang with Parsley and me. I work from home so can give your pet complete around the clock care. I also live with my partner who has just as much experience with and love for animals as myself. I have a fenced in yard and a large 6 year old shepherd mix. We walk him on 2 loong walks every day so we are very used to getting pets exercise. He also loves to play but is good at reading the room if your dog likes to be left alone. We have had 2 pets before and always make sure to feed them in separate rooms. We have a spare bedroom if your dog likes their own space - we can set up their crate and let them do their thing.

“Quanence and Malik were amazing! From the very start at the meet & greet they were both very detailed, asked all the right questions, and took lots of notes. They took great care of our pets Cali & Spanky. They kept us informed the entire time and sent pics. Communication was excellent. We could not have been happier. It’s a beautiful feeling to truly be able to be present at our event, knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Today, was our first time using their service. Promise, it will not be the last. Do NOT hesitate to book their services!!! So happy our paths have crossed Quanence and Malik - thank you for everything!!! ☺️”

“Shakira was an excellent sitter for our lil man! She was on time and communicated in a timely, responsible fashion. She shared many photos of her stay with Linus, which was much appreciated. We would definitely hire her again!”

David T.

“Dominique is a gem. This is the third time we’ve booked house sitting for our boy and she treats him with care and affection. Her regular updates with pictures are evidence of a caretaker who meets the idiosyncrasies of our dog. I can’t imagine a better person to care for our fur baby while we are away. And most importantly, our dog loves Dominique. Our whole household gives her 5 stars.”

Paolo M.

“Jack took great care of my sometimes-demanding pup. He was very responsive and it was the first time I’ve been able to travel without worry. Highly recommend!”

Zoe G.

“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.

“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”
