Reliable and Caring Pet Sitter

Hi, I’m Payson! I’m a compassionate and dependable animal lover with 5 years experience caring for pets. I have an excitable and loving 3 year old springer spaniel at home with my parents and grew up with pets in the home. I (very sadly) don’t have any pets in my apartment here in Philly, so I am eager to spend time with all animals and love on them. I will ensure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m naturally organized and reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how your beloved pet is doing while you’re away. We will go for long walks/ have lots of snuggles. I’m excited to meet you and see if I’m a good fit for your needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my apartment— so I’d prefer to come to your place for overnight stays. I am happy to care for plants and any other household needs while I am in your home.

Payson is an ideal dogsitter! She is responsible, communicative, and reliable. I got really cute pictures of my happy pup every day and I loved that Payson asked when she wasn't sure! How would Ginger do at a lunch patio? Great! I could relax knowing my doggo was going to be safe and happy the whole time I was away!

Payson is, hands down, the best sitter we've found for our border collie. She truly understood how active and attention-loving he is, and went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met — not just fed and walked, but genuinely engaged with. He formed a real bond with her, the kind that's rare to see between a dog and someone outside the family. You can tell she cares about the animals she looks after, not just the job. We can't recommend her enough!

I have always provided pet care to families wherever I have lived and am looking to do the same here in Philly. I moved here a few weeks back and am eager to meet all the lovely animals in the area.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and/or behaviors I should be aware of. I am happy to learn how to best manage any difficult situations that may arise with the dog (if this applies). If your dog is well-trained, I want to continue encouraging that behavior while you are away.
