“We were worried our dog Lucky wouldn’t adjust to anyone new, but Natalie was amazing! She played so well with our tiny Yorkshire Terrier, and he loved her - didn’t even miss us! Highly recommend her pet-sitting services!”

“I could tell right away that Wendy has a very caring and patient way with dogs. My dog, Dakota, trusted her right off the bat. Wendy is very thorough and sends lots of updates. I had full confidence that Dakota was being well cared for the whole time that we were away. I highly recommend Wendy!!”

“When I come home after Hailey has stayed with Rosie, she is so chill and relaxed because she's with a friend and in her environment. It's like I never left -- except the house is super clean and neat! I always hope Hailey is available when I have a trip planned :)”
“This was our third time using Josh for overnight stays, and he continues to be a really great sitter. His communication is excellent. He provides regular updates and is always very responsive. It's stressful to have your pets care (and your home) in someone else's hands. Josh's communication definitely helps us feel more at ease. We have a fenced yard, but Josh always takes Rider on walks which I really appreciate (as does Rider). Every time we've come home you'd never know he was there. He brings in packages, etc. which again, I really appreciate. We will continue to book Josh without question!”

“Bill was amazing. We knew right from the get-go that he would be responsible and take care of our wild animals. We will definitely have him back and HIGHLY recommend his services!”

“I was very nervous to leave my 14-year old blind, arthritic pug overnight but Michael totally put my mind at ease. He gave him wonderful care, attention, and affection that went above and beyond. Plus took care of my three needy kitties as well! And he sent lots of pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michael. He was responsible and gave top quality care.”

About: I worked at an animal shelter for 4 years. I always brought home animals to foster, I currently have three rescues. I am comfortable and confident with puppies to seniors and dogs with behavioral quirks. Other than my own fur babies your fur babies are my top priority! I am currently focusing my time on animal care and this would be my focus! I currently do not have a yard for my own dog so we go on at least 3-4 walks per day! My cats have supervised outdoor time with me and toys to keep busy
About: My husband Nat and I have a 7-year old Chihuahua-Anton, who came from Ukarine during the war, and a 3-year old pug-Bruce, who was adopt from an animal rescue 2 years ago. I love my dogs and would like to spend time with more fluffy friends. We moved to Yardley recently and are still exploring this area. We plan to build a fence in the backyard but we don’t have one yet. We usually don’t leave the house unattended - I have a fully remote job so I can walk dogs several times a day. We would love to provide cuddles and pets to the dogs who have separation anxiety. Languages we speak other than English: Mandarin, Japanese and Vietnamese. I work at a pharma company and ofc it’s fully remote. My schedule is flexible during weekdays. My husband and I take care of the dogs together during weekends. I’m experienced in providing oral or topical medications. My dogs usually get along with most other dogs. Only in several cases that Anton or Bruce doesn’t like the guest. I just kept them in separate rooms as a solution.
“Pat has developed a great relationship with Henry and took him on a very lengthy walk. It’s great knowing that Henry is getting attention and exercise while I’m gone.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, starting with my own family’s dogs, which have ranged from small breeds to large, all with their own unique needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience looking after a variety of pets, including a turtle we’ve had for over 25 years, as well as gerbils and rats, so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of different types of animals. I’ve also spent years dog-sitting for my sister’s pitbull and my cousin’s French bulldogs, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention and care, I’m confident I can provide a safe and reliable environment. I currently have a very open schedule. I volunteer part-time at a lab at Temple University, but aside from that, I am free to care for your pets anytime! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get the appropriate amount of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their individual needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that means active walks or a calmer, more relaxed environment. I also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Brian and Georgette were amazing! They were so patient with our annimals and treated them like they were their own! They sent us pictures everyday and took care of our house while we are gone.”

“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”

Kayla is wonderful! My dog had an injury the day before I was going away. Kayla didn’t blink an eye about taking her to the vet and giving her medication when the last minute plans changed. You can tell that she truly loves animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that I was leaving my dog in good hands. Sandi

Greg was a fantastic pet sitter. He stayed overnight in our home with our three small dogs during our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was on time, great with communication, and consistently sent detailed updates and photos that kept us at ease. Our dogs loved him. Our senior dog with medical needs received extra patience and care. Greg followed every instruction, left our home immaculate, and went the extra mile to give each dog plenty of love. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future, and I recommend Greg to anyone looking in-home pet sitting.

Cara watched Josie for 8 days and stayed with her at my apartment. She took excellent care of her! The apartment was left in perfect condition as well. She was communicative and sent me follow up pictures. I would certainly book her again whenever she’s in town! Josie would as well :)

Josh stayed overnight for the week with Kuno. He was very communicative and took great care of both Kuno and the house. Kuno was very happy upon our arrival home. We will definitely rebook with him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their pet.
