“So grateful for Paulina coming through for us last minute again. She's also so patient with our rowdy large puppy. I would definitely recommend her service!”

“Areana has been absolutely amazing with my pup Chloe! She has done overnights, drop ins and walks and each time she has gone above and beyond for Chloe. Chloe has health issues and she is a reactive dog. Areana was very attentive to all her needs and communicated with me frequently. I would recommend Areana to anyone in need of someone to care for their fur babies!”

About: I’ve always loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 5 cats and 1 dog! I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own as of now! I was able to fully train ( tricks and potty) my dog before he reached 4 months. I’ve rescued a few dogs and cats before and am always feeding stray cats in the neighborhood My schedule is pretty open as of right now! I can pretty much do whatever works best for you and your pets! I love taking care of animals I currently reside in a two story apartment with plenty of room. I live right across from a big field where I like to take my own dog at least once a day to run and exercise.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors. I am available for check-ins mornings, mid afternoon, and evenings as well as overnight care as needed. I am not currently available for boarding dogs at my home. I do not accept sitting requests for unspayed/unneutered dogs. I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.

About: I have had three dogs throughout my life with my family. In January 2025 I got my own dog, a mini dachshund. She is my baby!! I have always loved being around dogs and taking care of them. I am a student part-time, which allows me lots of time to dog/cat sit! I am available most hours of the day, and am flexible with coming over mornings/nights. I will follow any instructions given regarding coming into the clients home and taking care of pets. I am very consistent and will always be on time!

“Liz was great! She’s was easy to communicate with and did a wonderful job walking my dog while I was at work! He loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Kassandra was fantastic! She walked my 50 lb doberman/vizsla mix over the course of a week, and was great with her. She's flexible with scheduling and was so accommodating despite my insane schedule. Book her if you get the chance!”

“Good communication”

About: Having grown up with a dog in the home, I love the little moments of joy with our canine friends but also understand the attention and care each dog needs. Whether your pet is rambunctious and playful or needs more gentle care, let me know how I can best make them comfortable and happy. My availability varies seasonally; I'm an educator, so normally my weekday availability is limited to late afternoons and evenings. Weekends are very clear and flexible for me. In the summer, my schedule is wide open, so feel free to book me for those much-needed summer vacations! When I am dropping in to your place or staying to house sit, I approach your pet -- especially one who's new to me -- with care and gentleness. I double-check instructions each day to make sure I provide top-quality care.

“I ended up booking this the wrong way and I booked it as a walking so it cost me way more but it was worth it knowing that my baby was in good hands while I watched a concert. My walker was patient kind and did everything I asked and my dog came back happy happy happy. What more can a puppy parent want? She was fabulous. BOOK THIS YOUNG LADY!!!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 6 years now, most of which have been around 10 years old or older all loved with extreme care. I am currently on summer break from college and am able to care for pets on most weekdays and some weekends depending on my availability. I have my own dog in the city and am very comfortable walking and taking care of her. I would care for your dog the same way you would both in and out of the home.

“Ana has been a super reliable and responsive walker for our dog! She's always there on time and gives great updates for us. I'd definitely recommend her as a walker!”

Colleen M.

“Sabin is excellent and very trustworthy! We know our dogs are in good hands when he’s there and they are always happy to see him. We get pictures and feedback after every walk, would definitely recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care for pets like they’re my own. I’ve grown up around family pets and have experience helping care for them, along with dog walking and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk or quiet time at home, I keep things calm, familiar, and homey so they feel at ease the whole time. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I also go on daily runs, and I’m happy to include pets that enjoy being active and going for walks. I have open availability and a spacious two-bedroom home where pets can comfortably roam and feel at ease during overnight stays. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a clean, spacious space with cozy beds, toys, and plenty of attention so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, while making sure they get care, exercise, and companionship. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and well cared for.

About: I grow up with all sorts of dogs for most of my life. Not only did I take care of my own, but I’ve been helping out friends and family with theirs since I was 10. My parents designated me to bathe our dog and I have been since I moved out for school. It’s now my job when I visit home. My dog at home has anxiety and antisocial behavior, I’ve learned to work with her and help her open up more. I’m currently working part time as a barista in Center City Philadelphia. I’ve carved out plenty of time to walk and watch over your pets. I live in a one bedroom apartment, right across the street from a park where I’ve seen several dogs. The building has plenty of space for a dog to comfortable move around.

“Cecil has quickly become my go-to for walking my dog. He's dependable and very responsive to requests.”

Margie M.

“I used Mason for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. He was professional, on time, and clearly knew how to handle dogs. My pup came home relaxed and well-exercised. Mason is the kind of walker you can trust right from the first booking — I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help!”

“Emma is great. She is kind and sweet to Clancy. He enjoys his walks with her!”

About: I've been caring for dogs pretty much my whole life and have a special ability to connect with dogs and make them feel comfortable and at ease. I love going on long walks and making sure your furry friend gets all the exercise and outdoor time they need I run my own business and make my own schedule so I am very flexible and able to provide care whenever it is most needed I have been house and pet sitting for years now and have learned the most important thing is remembering that everyone's home and situation is different. My priority is exceeding your expectations by ensuring that your furry friend is happy and comfortable and maintaining the integrity of your space. I'm happy to water plants or do any light housework or anything else that you need taken care of while you're away .

“Julia did a great job taking care of Rocky!”
