Starting on June 13th, I will be free all day, every day! Although I have the summer off, my sleep schedule is seldom changed. I am an early riser and early to bed (5:30-6am wake up and 10:00-10:30 lights out). My schedule is very open, other than the 3 meals and a morning trip to the gym, and I am open to shaping my routine around whatever your pet needs.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment isn't very big. It is not small enough to be called cramped, so there is definitely some space to move around (~900ft2). I live right off of Rittenhouse Square (about 400 feet away), so there is plenty of space to play around. For boarding, I am a very neat and tidy. I take up very little space and am good to sleep on a couch if that is ever an issue. I know my way around a cleaner closet so I am able to clean up any accident with no issues.

I love animals.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is James. I am a teacher in Philadelphia with lots of time on my hands this summer. Throughout my life I have frequently been tasked with taking care of pets of many different shapes, sizes, and species. Whether it be a timid cat who just needs somebody to check up on them, or a an energetic shepherd that needs constant walks, I can do whatever you need.

James was great! Communicative and really cared about asking the right questions to make sure he accommodated Joey’s needs. Super flexible with some last minute changes. Will book again!

Patrick is a kind, responsible friend who has helped me with my animals many times before. I can highly recommend working with him! Thanks, Patrick!
