Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.

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!

Christine was excellent. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. More importantly, she was able to connect with our skittish cat. I would have no hesitation in hiring Christine again or recommending her to another pet owner

About: I have taken care of cats and kittens my whole life with growing up with them in my home and adopting them as an adult. I have now raised and trained a puppy from 8weeks old on. I have taken care of up to 3 medium sized dogs at a time. I have also housed and cared for bunnies and rabbits. Experience with grooming as well- trimming kitty nails and washing dogs. There are currently zero scheduling conflicts in my day-to-day, and I can provide twice daily walks and undivided attention at any time for your pet! I love to be with animals in the place they feel most safe and loved-in their home! With access to all their cozy blankets and favorite toys, I love to provide playtime and nice long walks to keep your sweet pet happy. This not only provides exercise but mental stimulation as well. I feel sad to see pets who have to sit at home looking out the window waiting for their person to come home. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding them twice a day, it’s being their company too.

Laura was absolutely wonderful with my two cats, Tigger and Roo, while I was away for the weekend. Communication was clear with regular updates and photos that let me know my cats were happy and well cared for. Tigger can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up quickly. Roo loved the extra playtime and attention, and it was obvious they both felt comfortable and safe. I came home to two relaxed, content cats and everything in perfect order. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend laura to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable sitter.

Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!

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.

Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.

About: I’ve cared for dogs both personally and for friends/family, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, play, and making sure dogs feel calm, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I use to work in tech until I got laid off last year and I'm currently looking for my next position. I am therfore home almost all the time to look after your pup. I have a fenced yard and I am almost always in the same room as the dogs and so I'll have my eyes on them at all times.

About: I've had pitbulls for a majority of my life growing up since I was a baby, and currently own a 4 year-old XL American Bully and 12 year-old Imperial Shih Tzu since they were both puppies! I used to walk both daily, but my Shih Tzu recently went fully blind 6 months ago, so I mainly walk my bully only now and occasionally my shih tzu but in a bag 'cause he enjoys the feeling the air and smelling the scents! I have patience for anything, anyone and of any size. I've given medication too to pets so if that's needed, I can definitely do it ! :) just let me know how to care for your baby I currently work a part time only 20 hours a week, so I am available to dog sit, dog walk or give potty breaks. This fits perfectly in my schedule because one, I'm home other than at work and secondly, not really apart of the answer, I'm interested in pursuing animal care for schooling in the future as a possibility, so this would be a great learning opportunity for me to be around different breeds! Personally, with my shih tzu since he's blind, I help him maneuver most of the time by picking him up and also teaching him certain words and phrases so I know when he's hungry, thirsty or needs to use the restroom, I can just ask him and help guide him. I feed my dogs twice a day daily, morning and night and take my shih tzu to the restroom every 4 hours at least. I also walk my Bully and/or play with him everyday for an hour, and also change his water bowl 4 times a day.

If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.
