“Howie had a great time with Hannah! She was so attentive to him, texted me photos, kept me updated. She alerted me to something she had noticed, and I knew he was in really good hands! Thanks Hannah!!”


“Taylor was fantastic. She took wonderful care of our dogs and home. We had last minute flight delays and ended up needing to add an additional night and she could not have been nicer or more helpful.”


“Tanine was awesome! She took great care not only of our two dogs but of our home also. She kept us up to date on everything with daily texts and pictures. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!!”


“Hannah did great taking care of our large mastiff, Tink, who can be a bit energetic and stubborn. When we returned home from our trip, Tink seemed very relaxed and happy. Hannah had a great calmness to her, that is perfect for our shy-at-first dog.”


“Ali is a delight! She took great care of my dog and my house while I was away. I could tell that my dog was very happy and had a great time on their daily walks. Ali is also able to handle special requests as my dog has some anxiety and needed some extra attention. She also was great at providing updates. Highly recommend Ali!”


“Roxanne is very reliable and took excellent care of Pua while we were away on vacation. Having her staying in the house gave us peace of mind because it was comforting to Pua, we knew meals and meds were administered as prescribed, and also helpful for us to have someone keeping an eye on our home. We loved receiving photos and video of Pua every day from Roxanne. We could relax, knowing that Pua and Roxanne were bonding and keeping to her normal schedule.”


About: I'm an animal person that values clear communication. I love long walks equally to fuzzy couch cuddles, and my favorite part of the job is getting to know a new pet. I will follow all directions you leave for me, ask questions if I need clarity, and then I will send photos / updates throughout my stay. I work remotely and am available to hang out at your house as well, so your baby doesn't get lonely while you're gone. I'm an avid plant mom & can take care of your plants as well. I'm currently working remotely, and have flex hours, so I have plenty of flexibility to take your pet out! I'm also available to hang out at your house during my workday - I just need a Wi-Fi signal to use my laptop. Im 33 years old & very boring, I just work on my laptop, hang with friends or husband, and go to the gym, you can trust me. I would like us and your fur baby to meet in advance of booking, so that we know it's a good fit & everyone is on the same page.


“Kathy was wonderful with my little boy Finley. He and I both have separation anxiety and Kathy was great. She jumped right in and filled my shoes beautifully. He immediately bonded with her and was so happy, which made me so happy. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation with zero anxiety!! That was truly a first! Thank you, Kathy. You are the best!”


About: I grew up in a household that had many animals, such as a skunk, chickens, ducks, birds, guinea pigs, dogs and cats. I love animals! I am an elementary school teacher that is home for the summer and looking to help others, get some exercise, and generate an extra income. I am a trustworthy, and patient person. I prefer to service your animal in your own space so that I do not disrupt my dog and cats environments.

“Angela was wonderful in every way possible. She was responsive to my communications with her. Her communication with me before and during the sit was excellent. She sent tons of pictures and it was clear that she treated my dogs as if they were her own. Can't recommend Angela enough!”


About: As an animal lover, I truly feel that being around animals is my happiest place. For the past six years, I've cared for three German Shepherds and a cat-both during the day and overnight. Not only did I enjoy it, but I genuinely craved the relationship. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone-not just with your beloved animals, but also with your home. That's why I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive. I hope to meet you soon. 1. Morning Walks & Feeding: I start my day early, so morning walks and feedings are easy to fit into my routine. I enjoy getting fresh air and movement first thing, and pet care fits perfectly into that rhythm. 2. Midday Check-ins or Playtime: I often work from home or have a flexible midday schedule, so I can do potty breaks, walks, or play sessions during lunch hours. These breaks actually energize me and give structure to my day. 3. Evening Wind-down: Evening walks, dinner, and some cuddle time are a nice way to unwind from the day. I usually reserve evenings for low-stress activities, and spending time with pets is relaxing and fulfilling. 4. Sleepover Flexibility: I'm available for overnight stays when needed and plan ahead to ensure I'm fully present for the pets in my care. Routine and Comfort I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime—so they feel safe and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level, adjusting my approach to meet their needs. 🍽️ Feeding and Hydration I prepare meals according to the client’s instructions and make sure fresh water is always available. I double-check feeding schedules and portion sizes to ensure consistency. 🧼 Cleanliness and Hygiene I clean up after the pets—litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and accidents if they happen—so the home stays tidy. I wipe paws if needed after walks and make sure pets are comfortable and clean. 🎾 Exercise and Enrichment I play with dogs or cats to keep them active and engaged—walks, toys, fetch, laser pointers, or cuddles depending on what they love. If the pet is older or has health needs, I provide gentle interaction and quiet companionship. 🩺 Health and Safety I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if anything seems off. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed (oral, topical, or injection, depending on my experience and your instructions). 📝 Communication and Updates I send daily updates with photos or videos so clients can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m responsive and available for check-ins or questions during the sit. 🛋️ Respect for the Home I treat the home with the same care and respect I would want in mine—tidy, secure, and peaceful. I follow house rules (lights, trash, alarms, etc.) and always leave the home in great shape.

“This is the 2nd time Joanna has stayed with our dog for over a week while on vacation! She loves on and takes care of our dog like she were her own! I highly recommend entrusting your pets to Joanna- she is a gem and we love her! <3”


About: Reliable, fun, and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for dogs and cats. Born into a family of animal lovers, I grew up taking care of numerous dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, and lizards in Philadelphia. Skilled in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments, with a strong understanding of canine behavior, basic training techniques, and health needs. I have a calm nature, and pets usually warm up to me quickly, including cats! Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I'm committed to maintaining routines and creating a stress-free environment. Trusted by pet parents for consistent communication, dependability, and genuine affection for their furry family members. I also get rave reviews for the pictures I take while caring for my clients' pets! A Philadelphia native, I grew up in Chestnut Hill and attended the University of Pennsylvania. I recently decided to take a break from the finance industry to focus on what I love most: Dogs and the great outdoors! I'm looking to walk dogs during the week with some weekends depending on my schedule. I'm also available for cat and dog vacations visits during the week and holidays. I like to take active dogs out for multiple runs/walks daily. I'm a big hiker/runner and will make sure your pooch gets a great workout! With less active dogs, playtime is focused at home and short walks around the neighborhood. I grew up with cats and understand the importance of play and mental stimulation.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pups—big and small, young and old—and caring for them quickly became second nature. From daily walks and training to belly rubs and senior care, I’ve been hands-on with every stage of a dog’s life. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, build trust with shy or anxious pups, and provide the kind of attention and love that makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers slow strolls and snuggles, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. My dogs are my babies—and I’d be honored to care for yours like one of my own. I currently work full-time in the area. I can be available for a quick morning and/or mid-day check in within my radius, and free to stay with your babies after 5pm. Safety, Trust & Comfort First—Always Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first—no loose wires, no unsafe spaces, and always supervised play and rest time. I am always learning about pet safety for my home and will continue learning! In your home, I follow your routines closely to help your pet feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I respect your space and keep it tidy, making sure your pet’s needs—like walks, feeding, medications, and cuddle time—are handled with care and attention to detail. In my home, pets enjoy a peaceful environment with plenty of cozy spots to relax, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I never take more pets than I can safely and comfortably care for, so your fur baby always gets my full focus. Trust is everything, and I’m committed to building it with both you and your pet through consistency, communication, and lots of love.

“Rachel was very prompt and has great communication skills. I had to book very last minute and she was very understanding and helpful. I will definitely be trying to book Rachel again!!”
