Catherine was incredible with my cats! She was prompt and thorough with our drop in visits. My two cats were well taken care of, oral medication were administered on time, and most importantly she was great at reading their body language and giving them exactly the attention they needed! I definitely recommend Catherine!

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

About: Hello! I am a studying veterinary technician at Purdue University! I've also have done work at both boarding facility's and doggy day cares. I have had training in handling, playtime, walks, designated diets. Everything you can think of to keep your pet happy while you are away. While my schedule may vary during different semesters,it should mostly stay the same. I am available during most afternoons till later into the day. So I can take care of any potty breaks, lunchtime, or later day walks as needed. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The backdoor is a glass screen door, so it is easy to keep track of them if I need to step inside quickl; but I prefer to stay outside as long as I need to keep an eye on them.

About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.

I was so impressed with Nicole and her care for my pup. This was my first time using Rover, and I felt completely at ease knowing Ivy was in such good hands. Nicole was very attentive, patient, and clearly loves dogs. She sent regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker! We will absolutely be returning clients!

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

About: I pet sit for my neighbors when they go away, I'll stay with them and make sure they're okay throughout the night. I also walk their dogs when they need me to while they're at work or stuck out longer than they expected. I was also walking for another company for a while. I own two cats and two dogs of my own. I'm very sociable with animals and can take care of many different kinds. I've also worked with multiple different breeds of dogs and cats. Big dogs and small dogs alike. As well as different breeds of cats. I've also worked with lizards and bearded dragons, and guinea pigs. Any animal you may have, I can take care of for you, without any type of issue! I’m currently doing online school for the summer and there is no set times that I need to be on doing schoolwork. I’ll be free at any time! When a client books with me for the first time, I always make sure to meet the dog while the owners are there so the dog can see that I’m okay to be in their home.

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have only guinea pigs now, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own named Prince, a 10 year-old, 30 lb neutered German Pinscher who is very friendly and still acts like a playful puppy. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. My home has a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Dogs in my home are treated like family — couches and beds are welcome unless you prefer otherwise. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm. Every other Monday I do go into the office from 9am-3pm. I am available to watch your pup any day Monday-Sunday 😊 I have a fenced in yard and one playful dog to keep your fur baby company! Unless instructed otherwise, no couches or beds are off limits to pups 🐶 My dog lives like a King over here 👑 & I would treat your fur baby the same way!

About: Hi! My name is Angelina and I’m a responsible college student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes — from big, strong breeds like pit bulls to small dogs like chihuahuas — so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience caring for dogs who require medication. I’m comfortable giving oral medications (pills, tablets, liquid) and have experience administering injections when needed. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and safe during the process. I work alongside my partner, Siany, and together we provide attentive, reliable pet care as a team. Having two caregivers helps ensure that someone is always with your dog, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, relaxed routine, we’re happy to adjust to their needs. Our goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We treat every animal like they’re our own! We’re reliable, attentive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a college student. I build my class schedule in a way that allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 3 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 1 PM. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m very organized with my time and make sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they can feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, medications, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks, and I keep a close eye on your pet both indoors and outdoors. I’m also mindful of keeping their environment clean and safe by removing anything they could accidentally get into. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for in a safe, familiar environment. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by being attentive, patient, and dependable.

About: I’m Mike and I love dogs! I grew up helping my mom train dogs for Guiding Eyes so I have experience with pups of every age, size, breed, and personality! Once I finished grad school, I volunteered at the local rescue organization which inspired me to foster puppies. I have always been a dog lover and this is a great opportunity to give back to my community, all the while meeting new furry friends! In addition to my personal and volunteer experience with dogs, I was a professional dog walker for ‘Reactive Rover’, which was a dog walking service specializing in exercising dogs that are high maintenance, anxious, or had other reactivity issues. I would work to get the pup I was walking comfortable, break down barriers, and work on various greeting skills. This helped my furry pals in addition to broadening my own experience and skills with dogs! When your dog is under my care, my number one priority is to make you both feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I do that by giving the absolute best customer service possible. I’ll always follow your instructions to a “T” to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. After all, no one knows your dog better than you do! We’ll always do what makes them the most happy, and I’m happy to go the extra mile for any pooch. Likewise, I love sending daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always just a phone call away and can be reached any time in case any concerns or questions arise. I split time between Malvern, PA and Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. There are many parks around both locations! There is plenty of walking and green space as well around. My girlfriend Kristina is an avid dog lover and shows as much care and affection as I do anytime we care for someone’s beloved dog! We also volunteer at All 4 Paws Rescue in Malvern, PA! When I’m not pet sitting, I love playing sports, whether it be basketball at my gym or tennis outside! The beach is also a must during warmer weather. Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of these adventures! If I’m not outside being active, I am always spending time with my friends, going out to dinner, seeing a movie, or taking in a show. I also love lounging at my apartment on the couch with a good book/tv show! I work a hybrid role so many times I am working from home and when I do have to head out for meetings it is few and far between and my gf Kristina is always there to assist! In Malvern I have a small balcony but there is a gated dog park that is included in the complex - in Philadelphia we do not have a yard but are very close to Rittenhouse Square, Schuykill River Park, and many others!
