Pet care experience

Your pet's new friend!

I've always been dedicated to taking care of animals. I've done dog and cat sitting for neighbors growing up. Some cats were seniors that required round-the-clock medication. In recent years I nursed my friends' cat back to health after an emergency, and took care of a roommate's handicapped dog when they were away. For two years I've worked as a veterinary assistant so I have knowledge of cat and dog health needs and behavior. I've recently decided this was my calling so I pet-sit full time!

Philip took such amazing care of my dog. He was incredibly reliable & attentive exactly the kind of person you want looking after your pup. He kept me updated with photos and messages and it was clear that my dog was happy in his care.

So easy to work with Philip and coordinate care of my two kitties. One cat is elderly and Philip took care of his meds and a chronic wound with no issue. I will absolutely rebook with Philip and highly recommend him.

Schedule

I do this full time so please refer to my calender for availability. Because I don't have a car and rely on public transportation, I require clients to be no more than 1 hour outside Philadelphia and be walking distance from a SEPTA bus stop, trolley stop, or train station. If you live in New Jersey, please be near a PATCO train station. I only do Regular Walks/Drop-In Visits for clients that are within a 1 mile walking distance from my home in West Philadelphia. Bookings further away are for House Sitting only.

Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is your dog get easily startled or overstimulated? Does your dog have a habit of inappropriate jumping/barking? Are they easily excited or aggressive towards other dogs and animals? Are they crate trained? Any particular objects that they love but shouldn't have access to for safety reasons?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
