10 years of experience

Pet care experience

I am an experienced pet sitter living in center city, Philadelphia with over 10 years of dog and cat care. I also have 3 years of experience working and volunteering in an animal rescue. I first began my pet sitting experience in high school for family members and neighbors, where I would stop by to check on cats and walk dogs. Since then, I worked at an animal rescue for several years. I am knowledgable with animal health, temperaments, and behaviors. While working at the rescue, my role was to matchmake families with dogs and cats, and place them into good homes. I also volunteered as a dog trotter, where I walk and run with dogs of all sizes. My extensive experience has allowed me to become very confident with cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. It also taught me how to properly administer medication and detect early signs of Illness in animals. What sets me apart from other sitters is my devotion to not only make sure your pet is cared for, but to also relive you of the stress of finding a dependable and responsible sitter. Aside from caring for animals, my favorite hobbies include hiking and photography. With that in mind, I will send you constant updates with photos of your loved ones while you are away or at work. I also make sure so your dogs will be relaxed and and ready to cuddle you when you come home. It’s my passion to care for animals and to help you. I look forward to meeting your little (and big) loved ones!

Edward is a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. He watched my cat on several occasions and was always attentive and caring. He sent me cute photos so I could know my cat was calm and cared for! He was able to follow her medication schedule, which put me at ease! Thanks Edward!

It has been difficult to find someone who can handle our strong mastiff and our feisty terrier mix and Edward has just the right demeanor and experience. Edward is always in control yet so loving with them both. He treats them like they’re his own and their reaction to him put us at ease from the start. Edward is not only extremely capable and responsible, he is also a pleasure to deal with. Your pets will be in great hands with Edward. AAA+

Edward is our sitter for our fur babies. He is very kind and compassionate! Our little friends love to play with him! We are very comfortable trusting him to care for them and snuggle them in our absence!

Edward stayed at our home for a week while we were at the beach. He was great with our young dog, Luna who benefits from a good run and/or walk. Edward kept us updated on Luna and sent multiple pictures....I love the updates. We also have two cats one of which is a picky eater and Edward helped in keeping him fed. I didn't have to worry about my dog or cats or my home while we away. I would highly recommend Edward!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and two cats that get along with dogs. I take watching animals very serious and understand every pet has their own quirks and temperaments. I follow rules diligently and will respect your home, as directed.

Information Edward K. would like to know about your pet

The breed of the dog does not matter. One of the most important things I’ve learned while working with animals is that it’s all based off the individual personality. The key things I would like to know is how they are on a leash and do they need a harness? Are they reactive with other dogs or animals (how are they when a squirrel runs by?) Do they have any issues with guarding (toys people or locations)? When do they typically get fed? Do they require any medications or have any other health issues? Do they know proper commands? How are they with kids? The more information the better!

A typical day

I will happily follow any rules provided for dogs with special needs or care. For the energetic dogs, your pup and I will go on long walks throughout the city, including Rittenhouse Park and other areas with nature. I can provide my own transportation so, if your dog is comfortable in a car, I can take them to the Schuylkill River Trail or other local parks If granted permission. We will also play fetch, walk around the neighborhood, play their favorite games, etc.

Pet care is my calling. It’s what I want to do full time! I am working full time but looking to leave my current position to fulfill my passion with animal care. I can still walk dogs and care for them now with the schedule I have.
