About: I have always grown up around animals of all sorts. I was raised on a farm with all sorts of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and even pigs! My family has always had multiple dogs and cats in the house that I was entrusted to care for since I can remember. I now live in Philly with 2 cats of my own and am a newly graduated masters student with extra time on my hands to care for your beloved pet! I work from home 3 out of 5 weekdays, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available most days and weekends, and I’m also available Tuesday and Wednesday evenings—just not during the daytime on those two days. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority! I have a small, fully fenced yard that’s great for potty breaks and fresh air. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I have 2 cats of my own that love company or can be separated if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Arianna — a devoted animal lover and experienced pet sitter who believes every furry friend deserves comfort, play, and plenty of love while their humans are away. I have a calm, nurturing energy that animals naturally gravitate to (I joke that the cat distribution system knows where to find me — and it’s not wrong!). Whether your pet needs a fun walking buddy, a patient playmate, or a cozy lap to curl up on, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your companion in someone else’s care. You can count on me to send updates, follow routines, and provide all the cuddles, treats, and tail wags or purrs your pet could ask for. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet your furry friend! PS I am not limited to just cats and dogs :) I love guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, and fish! My best bud is a guinea pig named Piggle Wiggles. I typically work full time as a florist in the Spring Garden Section. I am available: Wednesday through Saturday: Early morning/evenings Saturday afternoon through Tuesday: Available all day In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routines as closely as possible — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, meds, favorite toys or cozy spots — so they feel relaxed and secure. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates, and treat your space with respect.
“Brittney was highly communicative throughout, prompt to the walk, and very patient with my pup. She was also sensitive to her needs on an especially hot day! I feel very comfortable knowing my pup is under Brittney's care.”
“This is my first time using a dog-walking service. I was extremely nervous. However, Areana ensured that I would be comfortable. Ms.Areana remained in constant communication, very professional, and seemed extremely nice. She completed all of my requests with no hesitation nor issues. Even after just one experience I would recommend her services. Looking forward to using her again in the near future. Note: I love how Areana sends photographs of the experience as well as a documentation of what occurred on the walk.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. I have hands-on experience walking and feeding dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy the energy and companionship they bring. I’m also comfortable with all the essentials—playtime, cleanup, and making sure your pup feels happy and loved while you're away. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats for years and currently share my home with two playful brothers, Toby and KitKat, who are 5 years old. Whether it’s a tail-wagging walk or quiet cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I'm currently working a part-time job in the evenings while saving up for college. I’ll be starting a nursing program in Philadelphia this fall! As a lifelong animal lover, I’d love to spend some of my time caring for pets. When caring for dogs, I like to keep them within sight to make sure they stay safe and out of trouble. I also pay close attention to their behavior, like standing by the door or near their food bowl, so I can respond promptly to their needs. With cats, I respect their independent nature, allowing them the space to do their own thing while making sure they always have fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box.
“So grateful we found Lauren! She helped us out in a bind and I felt totally comfortable using her just based on our conversation. She was great, sent pictures and took care of our baby. I’ll definitely use Lauren again!”
“As always, Paulina was a pleasure and was extremely patient with our dog who doesn't always want to walk far. She does a great job and is super reliable and flexible!”
“Isabelle is great! She’s been walking my dog for months and is very reliable. My dog can be stubborn, but Isabelle is patient and always manages to get her moving.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. And I’ve been walking dogs in eeuu for 2 years that I’m here. And I love it I’m currently with a student visa so I’m able to walk with dogs in the mornings some day, during the night and I’m able to stay with your dog in your house if you need it too! I use to walk with large dogs, small dogs, quiet dogs and energetic dogs. I use to know how to handle the different types of doggies
“Caitlyn was great with our pack of animals. She sent pictures and updates, took our pup on long walks and was communicative and punctual. Will definitely book again!”
About: I was a dog owner for over 5 years. Sadly, my boy passed from metastatic cancer recently but now with the house empty, im able to turn to pet sitting. I have lots of experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I am home full time and will be able to work on your pup's schedule no problem. If your dog loves to walk, im your guy. I work part time from home, but am looking to transition to more full time pet sitting. In any case, im at the house and available to tend to your pet's needs at all times. I can do whatever you need me to do, both in caring for your pet, and your home. I don't believe in negative reinforcement and my dog is trained entirely based on rewards and minor correction when he misbehaves on the leash. Whisky isn't a gorger so he just gets fead once a day and he eats when he is hungry, but I am more than happy to work on a tight feeding/walking/medicine/whatever schedule.
“Quanece is our go to sitter for all of Rocky’s need. She absolutely makes him feel like he is on a doggy staycation at all times! She really is the best around!”
“Ah I am so glad we found Kassandra. We initially wanted to find someone as a backup but she has been super reliable and prompt and responsive that we have been relying on her at least once or twice a week. I just hope she doesn’t move away! Haha”

Arianna A.
“Arianna is hands down my favorite dog sitter ever! My dogs have separation anxiety, but when they’re with Arianna, I can see they feel truly comfortable and loved. She has watched them several times now, and each time I’m so relieved knowing they’re in good hands. I’ve tried other sitters before, but none were as caring and attentive as Arianna. She walks my dogs, sends frequent updates with pictures and videos, and genuinely focuses on the pets she’s caring for. She’s trustworthy, loving, and completely dedicated. If you’re looking for someone to dog sit your pet, I 100% recommend Arianna!”

Florencia R.
“I would fully recommend Florencia! Last year I adopted a 6 month old Australian cattle dog. They are known for being stubborn and highly energetic. She worked absolute miracles with him. She did not just do the basics like walk and feed him, she went above and beyond to help me and my pup live our best lives. She was extremely patient and supportive with helping to find the correct diet for him which took about a month and was quite the learning experience as some food brands would upset his stomach and have him using the bathroom much more. She even took him for runs to work out some energy so when I came home from work we could mostly relax! All in all she treated him like he was her own, with so much care and compassion. She even is the one who taught him to sit and stay! (I just could not get him to do either one) If you are someone looking for more than just a walker or someone feeding your pup but rather someone who helps the dog flourish and communicates and assists you with your goals around your loved animal then look no further. Thanks again Flore I couldn’t have done it without you!”
