Sarah was great!! I was so grateful for her chatty, newsy description of her visit and I feel like Walter was truly well-cared for. She provided great pics, and a very sweet video of my boy! Thanks, Sarah!

Daniel was super thoughtful and a great pet sitter for my cat Roy. Roy fell in love with him immediately, and I received lots of updates and pictures throughout. I'll happily rebook!

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).

Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!

Kelly is reliable, trustworthy and responsible. I feel confident they are in good hands with Kelly. She really connects with my kitties. It is such a relief to see photos of them looking happy and getting petted. I also really appreciate the accommodation of a somewhat short-notice booking. Book Kelly without hesitation! She’s awesome.

Alyssa was a professional, attentive sitter for our spoiled boy cat while we were away on vacation. We appreciated the timely check-ins, thorough notes, and multiple photos provided for each visit. The house and litter box were clean when we returned, and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again.

Jack did a wonderful job dropping in for my cat bubba. As evidence from the adorable photos he took, Jack was able to snuggle and play with Bubba. He is usually a shy guy! Would happily have Jack drop in again.

So happy and relieved to have been able to have Riva drop in on my two kitties this past weekend! Was nervous and anxious about being away from my young boy for the first time since his adoption, but Riva quickly put all my anxieties at ease with her great care for my cats. Riva was amazing with her check ins, providing photos and videos. Got back to two very happy cats, so mama is very thankful! Will definitely be using her services again!

Casey was fantastic and very professional. She came before visit for a meet and greet and was completely confident in learning how to give our fur buddy, Chick, his insulin shots. She sent pictures daily and even helped bring in our food delivery when we forgot to cancel it for our trip. The cats were chill and happy when we came back. We will definitely book Casey again on our next out of town.

Amal was absolutely wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us before our trip so that we could show her what was needed for our two cats while we were gone. She was so attentive, jotted down notes, and was just so pleasant to communicate with. She took photos and shared updates each day. We felt so grateful to know that our two cats were being looked after by someone so professional and caring. We will absolutely book with Amal again in the future!

It is such a huge load off my mind to know my fur babies are in such good hands. Gabrielle takes such great care of them and sends detailed notes and photos so I know how they’re doing. We also discussed emergency plans in case I got in an accident while traveling and I appreciate her understanding about making contingency plans. Book her without hesitation!

Nothing but good things to say about my experience with Rebecca!! She took my pup on several walks this week and during each one provided thoughtful updates. She was even willing to move around her schedule to try to best accommodate my needs. Will 100% be reaching out for more drop in visits and walks with Rebecca in the future.

Julia took such good care of our two cats!!! We were out of the country for a week and it was so refreshing to not need to worry about them. She often went above and beyond and hung out with them for longer than we paid for. She was able to give our cat with asthma his medication with no trouble. Even our very shy Siamese cat came out to meet and hang out with her! I’ll definitely be booking with Julia again and again.
