Highlights
Pet care experience
Just looking for licks and wags!
Lifelong dog lover with 14 years of experience as a proud dog dad. I miss having a furry companion around and would love the chance to care for and spoil your pup! I’m a working professional with weekends and extended weekends free—perfect for giving your dog plenty of attention, spoils, and care while you’re away. My superpower is finding a dog's favorite spot to scratch and pet. FaceTime/video home inspection and peek ins are welcome to make sure my space will be safe and comfy for your doggo. Please note that I love all dogs of all sizes, I can only sit up to 40lbs. If would if I could, but it's not my rule.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
There are no children, other pets, or dogs in my home. I live very close to Rittenhouse Square for walks in the park, outdoor time in the grass, and I have dog beds, blankets, and endless supply of toys to spoil your pup!
A typical day
Tons of chew toys, balls, and comfy blankets to make your pup feel right at home. Long neighborhood walks in and around Rittenhouse Square Park and trips to the dog park along the Schuylkill River.
