“Taylor saved the day by taking a last-minute booking request (in the middle of having floors replaced in the house). It was chaotic to say the least, but she was very flexible, communicative, and took great care of the dogs. I was given regular updates the whole time.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. My friends and family always ask me to check in on, walk, or sit their pets. I am willing to house sit and stay with your pets as long as needed. I don't mind small animals like rabbits or hamsters and am willing to look after reptiles as well. I have a full time job but am available most evenings after 4pm and every weekend at any time. I can do daily check ins every day for meal times but extended care only in the evenings unless I am house sitting. I have 4 dogs who's are all crate trained. Unfortunately I do not have a yard so I am not willing to sit dogs in my own home. I am a big fan of the dog park!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pup with care, attention, and plenty of love. I love taking care of animals! I currently work full time , but I have plenty available throughout the week and on weekends anywhere between 5am-10pm, or other hours upon request.

“Tim is an amazing pet sitter. He really helped us out this week after our flight got cancelled and made sure our dogs were well cared for! He’s the absolute best and really took the worry out of all the craziness of this week. Truly an outstanding and kind guy!”
About: I am a trustworthy dog lover with two super friendly dogs who haven’t found a dog they didn’t like! I grew up with dogs my entire life. I volunteer for a local dog rescue and its so rewarding to help a sweet dog that has been abandoned find a loving home. We love our rescue dogs and we will treat your dog like they are part of the family while they stay with us. I am happy to give you daily updates on your dog during their stay with us along with pictures. My two daughters have grown up with dogs and love to help take care of them and walk the dogs with me. I have a pool in my backyard if your dog is a swimmer when the weather is warm! If not there is a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. My home is a smoke free environment. When you book with me I try to make drop off and pick ups as easy as possible by meeting you at the curb for pick up and drop off so that you
“Melanie was a huge help. Having a dog with anxiety it’s hard to know who should care for Blaze. Melanie gave her outside time, treats and rubs and we came home to a very happy dog! ( a first!). It was so nice knowing our pup was well cared for . Melanie communicated well, was on time, answered any questions I had as a new dog parent and understood our dog’s needs. Thank you Melanie! We would love to have her over again.”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was little. Growing up my mom always had cats, dogs, chickens she took care of all the animals. After getting married and having kids I decided it was finally time to adopt my dog Charlie. He’s a sweet loving 2 year old beagle. He’s great with my 3 kids and is super playful with other dogs. I have a huge yard which is fenced in and I live right by a trail so daily walks are always something i do. I work from home part time and my schedule is flexible so there’s always someone home. My yard is fenced in and very easy for the dogs to go out back and be safe. I live right by the schuylkill river trail and love taking walks with my dogs in the mornings, mid day and mostly in the evening when it cools down. I own a big house with a huge fenced in yard. I take Charlie on walks daily around town. If errands need to be ran I will communicate with the dogs owners to let him know and about how long I will be gone for.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets, lizards, guinea pigs and I wish I could have more! I am truly an animal lover! I have always taken the upmost care of my animals needs - they are family members to me. I currently have one cat and I live with a family member so my own animals needs are not an issue. I have always groomed my animals as well. I have not done much hair clipping, but have taken my shot at it. I can bath, clean ears, clean eyes (stain treatment), trim nails, brush teeth & brush (after a deshedding treatment a backyard/porch would be best). I have taken care of elderly dogs and cats that are on special diets and medications. So, I am very good with just about any type of administration of meds/any diet requirements - even the blind! I’ve also nursed dogs found on the streets back to health which was a very rewarding experience! Feel free to ask! I am comfortable with aggressive dogs. I have worked with aggression before and am able to deescalate almost any situation. I have also trained all my dogs myself. Last cool thing about me - I have a vet in my family! I’ve always trusted him to guide me in the right direction if I need some help. It’s imperative to always get a professional opinion, but I’ll always ask for your vets info first! Lastly, I will always ask for a meet and greet before taking a job! I would like to meet your fur babies and you also - we can chat more about habits, challenges, routines, likes, dislikes ect. (If you’re more than 30 mins away from my location - 20$ for a meet and greet, sorry gas!) I look forward to hearing from you - hopefully I can make this a simple process for you! I work from home so I am with my cat almost all the time, but I do live with family so finding someone to help me is easy if your fur babies need me! I live in an apartment and have no dogs at the moment, but I have trained my cat to walk on a leash and I usually only take her to quiet places - living in Norristown your bound to hear a beep or too which would scare my kitty! When I had dogs though one would walk freely, but I still keep the leash on for safety purposes and my other walked on a harness. I am comfortable with walking a dog on any type of collar and most harnesses as well. Can take dogs out every 2-4 hours if needed. (Only if staying in home) If not staying in home only able to do walks and drop in during the evenings on the weekdays. Any and all animals will be met with patience in leaps and bounds sprinkled with love!

“AMAZING!!! Ariana is the best! Daily photos (multiples even!) and daily updates help this bulldog mama know that her baby is 1000% taken care of while I'm away. So thankful to have found Ariana and to have used her multiple times to pet sit for me!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by cats, so from a young age I was always taking care of pets. I currently have three cats, and they are my best friends! Besides taking care of my own, I also volunteered with my sister at our local PetSmart where we took care of the cats up for adoption, cleaning their cages, feeding them, and playing with them for a couple hours so they got a chance to run around. Because I have family members who are allergic, I never had a dog myself, but I LOVED dogs growing up. As soon as I was old enough, I would dog sit for my neighbors whenever they were on vacation, staying over their house to keep the dogs company while they were gone. I walked dogs for many of my neighbors and I love spending my time with animals! Finally, the dog shelter near my university allows students to take out dogs for a day so they get some time outdoors, and this is one of my favorite things to do with my free time. I have full availability! As a recent graduate, I am in the process of creating a new routine, and I am excited to build that around pet care. I am not offering services in my own home, but I can offer any pet services in client's homes that are needed. I am able to stay over, refill water and food, clean litter boxes, and any other services needed.
“Mikaela arrived on time to watch our two dogs and seemed to enjoy spending time with Ruby and Fergie. She sent a few photos, fed our dogs and gave medication to one. We would definitely book with Mikaela again.”
“Kaleigh was a last minute booking. She was able to come to my house sight unseen and take care of my puppy who has terrible separation anxiety and is not good in a crate while I was out for the day. My puppy got snuggles and a walk and did not need to be crated all day. Kaleigh did an excellent job with very little instructions!”
