House Sitting in Island Heights

“Adriana was amazing and Bella was well cared for and happy. Adriana went above and beyond with our home and pup and it was a pleasure to arrive home to a house that was in much better shape than when we left. And we had a constant stream of happy pictures of Bella on top of everything else! Our pup has some health issues which Adriana handled like a pro and I was able to be away for a couple days and feel that Bella was well cared for in our absence. I would not hesitate to have Adriana back again to take care of Bella.”

“Serena came through last minute for us. Couldn't have been happier with her overall service. Our animals loved her from the start and she stayed in contact the whole time which left me at ease for the evening. She is truly passionate about animals and firmly responsible as we had her house sitting with our pets. She is an asset to this service. Top tier service and professionalism.”

“Charlotte just stayed at our house for 8 days to take care of our puppy. She was amazing, didn’t mind assisting with some house sitting things like mail and garbage as well and our dog was so well loved and take n care of. This was such a game changer for us - having someone able to stay with our dog in her safe space and we will be hiring Charlotte again soon. Thanks Charlotte!”

About: My first pup was my best friend 30 yrs ago! He was so playful n adorable! I also love to walk and hope it is ok if I bring my responsible - straight A 15 yr old (taking college courses) who has a constant smile n happy face around animals. We have a golden doodle but she will stay at home. I would love to walk n care for your dog while respecting your neighbors but ensuring that your dog is safe n cleaning up after your dog. Cats are a favorite for us also. My 15 yr old is gentle, sweet n an honor student. I will be present for all pet care n walks! I work from home but I’m in my Philly office on Wednesdays. I am available to walk n keep a dog in a crate overnight. I have a mini golden doodle who can definitely sleep separately n would be supervised at all times. I have a fenced in back yard and would love to play fetch w your dog. It is very important to keep a dog healthy with exercise.

“If I could give Marissa 10 stars, I would. From the moment we met at my home for the "meet and greet", I felt at ease and my anxious almost 2 1/2 year-old Yorkie took to Marissa right away. Unfortunately, he's not very socialized with people or other dogs. Marissa was great with him from the moment they met. I had to have surgery, and unfortunately, I had to be at the surgeon's office at 7:00 am, which is 1 1/2 hours away so I had to leave my house by 5:30 am. When I mentioned to Marissa that she had to be here at 5:30 am, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She was not only punctual, but knowing I was extremely nervous about getting there on time, she arrived 10 minutes early. Marissa is very sweet and caring, and Harley was a happy boy with her here. I will definitely have Marissa stay with him again should I need to use a sitter in the future. If anyone is searching for a pet sitter in this area, I highly recommend Marissa! Thank you again, Marissa from Harley and Harley's Mom! ❤️”

“Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.”

I’ve taken care of family and friends pets, I love all breeds and I’m ready for any challenge! I’m only studying at the moment so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Being around pets it’s an important part of my learning process as a trainer. I have a big fenced yard and a dog full of energy that would love to have a friend to play with so your dog would be well entertained. If I’m in another home I’ll follow your schedule and your dogs will have all their needs fulfilled.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.

About: Nothing makes the day better than spending it with your dog. I have been around dogs ever since I was little. They have always been apart of my life . Right now I have a female boxer and mini dachshund that are my pride and joy. I have experienced dealing with both small and large dogs. However when it comes to larger dogs it will be good to know if they walk well on a leash and don’t pull to much. I will treat any dog just like I treat my own dogs. My main goal is to keep you and your pets happy and satisfied with my services. Most importantly your dogs will be safe with me always . Thank you for considering me for your dog needs. I am currently in between jobs , so I have plenty of time to fit your schedule. I can fit any needs you may have for the time being . I have a fenced in yard and a small mini dachshund at home who is very friendly with any dog that he meets. I am also , have a nice neighborhood to walk around worth your dog as well.

“First time using Laura for house sitting. She took excellent care of both my Pickles and my home during my 7 day vacation keeping me updated regularly and sending photos every day. Will definitely be using Laura if I’m going away again.”

“Gabi took care of our elderly dog and cat while we traveled. She arrived on time for our initial meeting and also on the day of our departure. She sent photos and updates while we were away. She left the home in good condition and even ran the dishwasher. We would definitely use her again.”

About: Love and respect animals of all kinds. Long-time dog owner...all of which have lived beyond life expectancy. Simply put, I have a good rapport with almost every dog I have come in contact with. On the most basic level I am kind, trustworthy, and honest. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with dog owners own schedule. Flexible pet care would not be an issue for me as I can be available day and night. I have a pet-friendly home and I have a large expanse of woods behind my house with trails. Pets under my care would always be on a leash unless in a fenced yard.
