Highlights
Pet care experience
Putting pets at ease is a breeze
I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.
Ratings and reviews
Wesley gave my cats food and playtime and was very caring.
Wesley did a great job caring for my two cats. I felt confident knowing they were well taken care of. Thanks Wesley!
Wesley is truly the best cat sitter you can find. High level of professionalism and reliability. Made traveling stress free. Book him if he’s available!
Wesley took great care of my senior dog when I was away! He was very careful about food, meds, and walks, and kept in touch with me regularly. Highly recommend!
Wesley was so great with our pup Mr. Scruff, who has had separation anxiety. We had a successful meet and greet, and for both that and his actual stay (a several-hour visit including one walk), Wesley was super punctual and communicative. We could tell they both had a good time hanging together and we are so grateful! Would absolutely use him again.
Wesley is really great! He sat for my senior cat (who has incontinence) and has shown the utmost care when looking after her. I really appreciated the photos he took of her when giving her treats; I think she really loves his visits!
