“Christina did a great job looking after my cats while we were away. I have a few and they can be wild. She was reliable, consistent and prompt communicator. My cats were all happy when we got back.”


“Emily took such great care of my cat. He had a potential health scare while I was away and was showing a lot of anxiety. Emily handled the unexpected issues so well and communicated everything with a lot of detail to help me understand the situation, including doing a video call. I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pet!”


“Katelynn was great! She communicated well throughout our trip, updated us on how the cats and dogs were doing, kept track of their activities, and sent plenty of pictures! Hope to use her again in the future!”


“Amanda was great! She was able to come for a meet and greet the same day I booked with her, and she was super communicative throughout the booking. She took tons of pictures and gave lots up updates. She very obviously loves cats. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”


“I booked Wojciech for a drop in visit with my dog Crew. He came over to meet Crew a couple of days before the drop in visit date. They got along great. On the date of the visit he notified me that he was there and everything was fine. He sent me pictures of Crew and he looked happy. I will definitely be booking with Wojciech again!”


“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter who took superb care of Java while I was away. Last minute, Java was prescribed medicine and Danielle was able to give Java his meds without problem while I was gone. My heart felt at ease with Java in Danielle’s care!”


“She is the first cat sitter we’ve ever had that managed to see, feed, and pet one of our cats who is terrified of everyone except me and my husband. As a consequence, she is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”


“Sarah visited my Dorothy cat every morning and always made sure I knew she was there with pictures and updates. In the past when I was away Dorothy would stress and over groom herself. Not this time. Sarah bonded so well with her and Dorothy was relaxed and happy. I will surely want Sarah to care for her again if I am away for awhile.”


About: I was a dog foster for a few months before adopting my current dog. I have experience with taking care of both small and large dogs for many years. My dog is very mild tempered and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He is neutered. We have access to go on daily walks along the river, around the neighborhood and at the park. I am a student, about to take 4 weeks off from school and would like to take advantage of my free time. I love dogs and have a great environment to dog sit, and also have the time to take them on long walks/play dates. I live in an apartment and the complex has two fenced dog parks. I have one dog who is very calm and mild tempered, he gets along well with both males and females, big or small. If your dog needs to be crated I also have a crate if necessary. They are allowed to lounge on the couch too.

“She is an amazing sitter! If I could give her 6/5 stars I would. She was so friendly and sent sweet messages and photos during her visits. Her love for animals showed. I could tell that she really enjoyed caring for my 100 lb Dane! (He actually might like her more than me now!)”

About: Hello! My name is Getlyne. I am a recent college graduate and currently work as a direct support professional. I’ve had multiple pets growing up, including two Rottweilers, one German Shepherd, two native Haitian dogs, and two cats. Since moving out on my own, I haven’t been able to see my pets because they are back home in Haiti. However, I’ve often cared for my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed help. During college, I took multiple classes on animal behavior because I initially thought I wanted to become a pet trainer. Over time, I discovered that my true calling lies in understanding human behavior—but I’ve kept and applied all the skills I learned about working with animals. I work as a direct support professional; however, I’m not always on schedule, so in my free time I house sit or pet sit for different people, and sometimes I babysit too. I treat every pet like they’re my own. If I’m in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly: feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so the pet feels safe and secure. I always make sure doors and gates are locked, fresh water is available, and they get plenty of attention and affection. If a pet is shy, I give them space and let them warm up to me at their own pace; if they’re energetic, I make sure they get the exercise they need. My goal is for them to feel happy and cared for, and for their owners to have total peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love making sure they are being active during the day while their owners might be away! My dog at home is around 80 pounds, she jumps on me and sometimes pulls on the leash very hard and I am able to withstand that. I have two dogs that we adopted when they were 3 months old so I know how to care for dogs who are not house trained. I am a student at Saint Joseph’s university with a big gap in my schedule on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday looking to provide dog walking services or drop in visits in the area! I have my own reliable transportation. I would love to provide companionship for your dog when needed, as well as get some of their energy out through walks! I can also play with them in the yard, make sure they are fed, and clean up any accidents!

About: Ive grown up around animals my whole life. My grandmother owned a pet shop in which I was surrounded by many animals. I've worked with small and big dogs, and I have knowledge in puppy training, giving medication, and much more! Im currently only in school 2 days a week and not working, so I have all the time in the world to check up on your furry friends! I have 4 pets at home, so typically Ill be in your space, which just makes things more comfortable for your furry friend! I know how to handle a scared dog, or one that likes to escape as well :)

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals my whole life. I had many cats and large Alaskan malamute dogs growing up, so I feel comfortable handling pets of all types and sizes! I work from home quite often and have a lot of flexibility in my role, so lots of time for your pet! I can walk/give potty breaks in the mornings, over lunch, in the evening, and before bed. I live in an apartment with some grass and nearby parks, so lots of green space for your pup. I am a very active person, so your dog will definitely be well walked/exercised. I am a true animal lover and will give your pet a lot of attention and playtime.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience pet sitting both dogs and cats. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. My dog at home is 14 years old, so I also have experience administering medecine and providing special diets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I love animals and taking care of them comes naturally to me. Since I’m currently on summer break from college, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just providing companionship, I’m happy to make pet care a regular part of my routine. I have a fence and two dogs to keep your dog company while pet sitting at my house, and I always make sure to follow instructions and provide updates. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and comfort while their owners are away. When in a client's home, I make sure to keep the house tidy.

Nicole was super responsible and helpful, and provided tons of pictures. When we returned from vacation our cat barely seemed to care, which means she got lots of love and attention! Nicole also handled medication administration perfectly. We would use her again!

Lindsey was an excellent pet sitter! Great planning and communication, consistent visits and updates. She took great pics and I felt so reassured my lil buddy was in caring hands. She went above and beyond to bring in mail, take out trash and even trimmed my kitties nails during a visit! Super sitter, would definitely recommend!!

Mollie was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of our dog Blu while we were away! :) Her follow up notes and pictures were perfect and so helpful would highly recommend Mollie so friendly and good communication! professional! She’s great with dogs! :) TY

Dion provided outstanding drop-in care for my cat, exceeding all expectations. She was always on time and sent photos with her updates. Dion cares deeply about animals. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.

I cannot recommend Shanika enough! She was an absolute lifesaver while caring for my cat, Freddy. Freddy is normally very shy and skittish around new people, but he warmed up to Shanika so quickly — which says a lot about her gentle, patient, and caring nature. I also had quite a few last-minute schedule changes, and she was so flexible, understanding, and accommodating throughout it all. She went above and beyond to make sure Freddy felt safe, loved, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy and reliable but also truly has a gift with animals, Shanika is the one. She’s simply the best!
