Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!

Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.

Chloe is a fantastic sitter. She’s responsible, responsive and flexible. She watched our 3 cats for two and a half weeks, sent daily updates with photos. She also gave daily oral and ear meds. Can’t recommend her enough!

About: Hi! My name is Shivani and I am experienced animal sitter and walker for 10 plus years now! I have always been around and genuinely loved animals, especially dogs with all of my heart and soul! With my experience and background, let me help you feel secure leaving your beloved pet/family member for a period of time. I'm here to bond and love your animal, as much as you do, in your absence. Every animal has their own personalities and needs, and I make it my mission to find out all about them to make sure your pet is as happy and loved as possible! I will do everything in my power to work with you and ensure the best care for you loved ones! I'm ready to love your dogs! I am a TV and Film producer and Art Director who has a deep love for working with animals. I have a flexible schedule that I control and have long standing pet sitting clients that I’ve had for years. I love the time that I get to spend with your animals and build my schedule around your individual pets needs. Spending time to bond with your animals is very important to me! Getting to know your pet’s personality and individual needs is my highest priority I like to spend as much time with them as they will allow me and also give them the space they need.

About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!

About: I bring patience, consistency, and real love for animals to every walk or visit. I grew up around dogs and have experience caring for both high-energy puppies and senior dogs who need a slower, gentler touch. I’m mainly an actor and does filming so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of animals. Getting my daily steps in with pets is something I love to do I treat pets and homes with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and potty breaks to their favorite toys and walk routes. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow instructions closely, keep the space clean, and respect the home like a guest should. I communicate often when needed and if something is happening

Christine is wonderful. In the past, our kitty would hide under the bed while we we away. With Christine, she is waiting for her to come. Christine has lots of playtime and treats. She is interested in interacting with my kitty. She sends pictures! She is punctual, on time. I can trust she will follow through on the items discussed. Our kitty loves her and we are super happy to have found her. I highly recommend her services.

About: I am experienced in providing gentle, including walks to the parks and beaches, while maintaining a calm and comfortable environment inside home and outside home. My job requires me a peculiar freedom to have a flexible schedule. I am morning person and love going in evening strolls regardless of sorting setting. In my home, I create a fun and safe space for pets, with cozy spots to relax, play, and eat. They get fresh water, regular walks, and all the love and attention they could ask for! I stick to their routine to keep them happy and stress-free. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel right at home, following their usual routine. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I keep everything tidy and comfy. I want them to feel relaxed and loved while their owner’s away!

About: In 2012 my mother started a dog boarding business out of her own home. I was this businesses number #1 (and in a lot of ways only) Employee. We watched an average of 4 dogs a day not including the dogs me and my mother had that were our own and the fosters we were taking care of as well. We closed down the business in 2021 when we moved and now that I have my own place I'm looking to work with pets again (dogs and cats!). I can not board but I can still do walks and sitting. I'd love to meet and get to know your pets. I work weekends so I am not going to be available most Saturdays and Sundays before 6pm. On the flip side I am completely open on any weekday for walking or sitting. I can make any of those days work with your schedule. I won't be able to take care of your pet in my home but I can do whatever is needed of me if I were to take care of your pet in your home. Wether that's crating, specific feeding schedules or making food from provided ingredients, routines for outside and potty time. I want to make your pets experience as close as it I can do your ideal.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!

About: I was a dog walker in Philadelphia for a year, and I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from miniature schnauzers to great danes. I also worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital for 4 years, caring for dogs and administering meds, and at a wildlife rehabilitation center for 2 years. Additionally, I used to be a wildlife biologist, but switched careers; now I'm an environmental journalist. I'm also a big-time runner, and would be happy to take your dog out on awesome running adventures or walks on lovely trails across this beautiful city.

Kayla is truly the BEST and we feel so lucky we found her 🥹✨ From our very first meet & greet, we knew she was special — she literally showed up with a notebook and asked the most thoughtful questions about our dogs, routines, preferences, and care. That level of preparation and attention immediately put us at ease. She gives total Disney princess energy. So gentle, calm, kind, and clearly such an animal person. Both of our small, anxious rescue pups absolutely adore her (which says everything because they can be pretty selective with people!). She made them feel safe right away and has been incredibly patient and attentive with them. She’s also an amazing communicator — proactive, responsive, thoughtful updates, and just generally someone who makes you feel like your pets are in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Kayla and genuinely can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies 🤍
