“Danielle had been great with Okami. He's usually very reserved and defensive with new people. But he warned up to her in just two walks. Bonus is that she takes tons of photos.”

“Colette was an amazing dog walker, my dogs absolutely loved her and we will definitely miss her. She was communicative, prompt, and so sweet with our girls. They got to know her car and would get so excited when they saw it coming down our street!”

“Jordan was great with Penelope. She’s a big girl with a lot of personality and he took her on a great walk. He was communicative the whole time and sent very cute pictures.”

“Elizabeth was super sweet and amazing with Artie! She communicated really well, was patient with her, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Artie was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Lauren is an exceptional Rover! She walked our dog Gracie every week the better part of six months, even through crazy snow and rain — she was always punctual, highly communicative and proactive about sharing times she was unavailable well in advance, and super sweet with our dog who loved seeing her every day. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”


About: What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m used to having a busy schedule and balancing school, work, and other commitments, so I take my responsibilities seriously and make sure I follow through. I’m also very active and would love to keep your dog moving with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! Most importantly, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I am working part time so I am available a lot of hours in the week. I am available most mornings and nights for visits! I care for pets by treating them like part of the family while making sure I follow their normal routines as closely as possible\. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles\. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave everything just as I found it\. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

About: I love animals, basically all animals! I have grown up with cats and dogs, and feel that I know the ins and outs of the "pet world". I may have favorite breeds, but I love them all, both big and small- I love learning about new breeds, so bring it on! I have worked with pitties doodles, a jackchi, and Goldens so far from Rover! I would love to spend time outside, playing, relaxing, and exploring with your dog (and am happy to care for cats if you have those, too!). I am currently unemployed and looking for some part time gigs (like dog walking) to fill my days. I am very open during the weekdays in Roxborough. I will treat your pets and your home just like they are my own. Keeping things clean and tidy is a very easy ask for me.
About: Caretaking for animals has exceeded my expectations of fulfillment. It has given me an opportunity to learn and grow while having fun with their presence. I’ve cared for animals of all breeds and sizes for almost a decade. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and birds needing special attention. I aim to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet sitting and walks on weekdays and on weekends for boarding and extended care. Flexible to more options and providing you and your family with what they need! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, pet-friendly environment. I prioritize each pet’s individual needs and provide a calm, structured atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I closely follow your pet's routine and offer regular updates to give you peace of mind.
“Devon was great when walking my pups! Showed up right on time and went on a long walk in the area. She shared several pictures and was great with the dogs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving Dogsitter in the area.”

“Anthony helped with walks for our two dogs over a long weekend and did great with them! He was easy to communicate with, reliable and professional. Would recommend!”


“Shandara was awesome! She did a great job taking care of Gizmo! He is shy and a bit skittish but she was great at making him comfortable. We will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labradoodles, and today my family has four dogs: Walter, a dachshund, Alvin, a Scottish terrier, and Husky and Frosty, two Siberian huskies. Caring for such different breeds has taught me that every dog needs something different. Huskies need a lot of exercise and a watchful eye, since they are known escape artists. Terriers can be stubborn and need patience and consistency. Dachshunds need gentle handling to protect their backs. I’m comfortable with high-energy big dogs and small dogs alike, and I pay attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and quirks. I'm also an avid runner so I'm able to adjust to faster-paced walks/jogs if need be. I don’t have class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and I’m also free on weekends, so I’m fully available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I have a car, so getting to your home is easy. I want your dog to feel just as happy and comfortable with me as they do with you. I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is fun and safe. Having two huskies at home, I know how sneaky some dogs can be about slipping out a door, so I’m always careful about that. I’ll treat your home like my own and send you photos after each visit so you can see how much fun your pup is having. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away.

About: Dogs have always been my favorite animals when it comes to having fun and forming connections filled with unconditional love, especially when it comes to more complicated dogs that need extra attention and care. I trained my previous dog, a Husky mix, from the time he was just 6 weeks old. I taught him to follow me closely and stay near me without a leash, as well as commands like sit, stay, and give paw. He also learned to use a potty pad during rainy or messy weather. I've received many compliments on how well-behaved he is for a young pup at just 9 months old and for his breed. I take him to dog parks and other parks where he can run around and get plenty of exercise. I currently work full-time at a restaurant in Center City from Friday to Monday. I keep my days open for dog sitting and other activities from Tuesday to Thursday. I personally prefer to provide services at the client’s home, ensuring both the dog and the owner are satisfied. I dedicate my attention and patience to entertaining the dogs, allowing them to engage in activities that bring them joy while also providing necessary boundaries, trust, and safety. This approach helps build a strong connection between us.

About: Hello, my name is Kate. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life and have been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for years. I am currently available part time in the evenings and on weekends. I have experience with walking, playing a variety of games to run off some extra energy, going on runs, and just keeping your pet company while you are away! I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and love getting to know the personality of each dog! I also cat sit, I have experience with young cats up to senior cats. Currently, I am available in the evenings after work at 5:30pm and on weekends for walking or drop in visits. I can be flexible on timing if morning walks are needed as some days I work from home. In client’s homes, I will follow the same procedures you have in place to ensure your pet is safe. If you have any specific requests, I will follow them accordingly.

About: I've been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since childhood, including overnight house sitting. I've had cats for most my life and have worked with big and small dogs, young and old, including dogs that need a lot of exercise. I have experience taking care of other domestic mammals like rabbits, chinchillas, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and hedgehogs, as well as exotic birds and reptiles. I'm a big animal over; I majored and worked in wildlife conservation, and am passionate about domestic and wild animals. I work freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to stay home a lot and be with the pets. I have a car to get to people's homes easily for daytime checkins/walks. Depends on the client's specific needs but usually for housesitting I stay at the house and am home often, so I'm able to give the pets attention and care, and let them out for bathroom breaks and walks regularly as needed. I can do basic household stuff like take out trash, clean up after pets, water plants, whatever is needed.
About: I’ve always known how to interact with animals and kids. Dogs + Cats tend to be very interactive & trusting with me. I love making animals feel comfortable ! I have open availability & am able to pet sit whenever is needed ! I can do potty breaks every 2-4 hours & I have supplies for anything your puppy or cat may need. I have an open space where your pet can roam freely & or stay with me :) if by any chance you are worried about he or she, I can do check ins. I will have toys, food & water available at all times to make sure they are comfortable.

Alexis is absolutely wonderful! 🐾 She is patient, dependable, diligent, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my stubborn, opinionated corgi inu gets the best possible walks. And trust me, he definitely has his own ideas about how things should go! 😂 She takes the time to work with his unique personality, lets him enjoy his adventures, and handles his strong-willed nature with care and patience. Finding someone you can trust with your four-legged family member is so important, and Alexis has been fantastic. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog walker!🐶❤️

Ava was well loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such attentive and capable hands. As someone who travels for work, having a caregiver I can trust and not have to worry about is invaluable. I truly appreciated the excellent care, communication, and peace of mind throughout her stay. Highly recommend!

Ella was PHENOMENAL! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and sent lots of pictures. She even went above and beyond to help us out when I made a booking error, I really appreciated her exceptional service and the care she gave to my pets. We will absolutely book again!! 10 stars!!!
