“Rachel was absolutely phenomenal and the best Catsitter we have ever worked with. Of course she did the basics perfectly (litter, feedings, etc.) but she also took the time to play with our kitty and treated him like one of her own. She also took several pictures which gave me great peace of mind. Would 100% use her again!”


“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”


“Sangah took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! We just needed drop-in visits to make sure Jojo had enough food and water, and Sangah was super reliable and sent nice updates every day! Definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”


About: Hi! I’m Mariah, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, My family and friends have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing extra TLC, animals have always been my passion. I promise to treat your pets with the same care and affection I would give my own. I look forward to meeting your furry companions and keeping them happy and comfortable while you're away! I’m currently pet sitting full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or weekends, I’m available to take care of your pets whenever you need me. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for your dog to feel comfortable and relaxed. My property includes a long driveway and a fenced area where they can play and roam safely depending on dog size

About: I've owned dogs since I was 10 years old and had three (2 pitbull mixes and 1 doberman) while being teenager. I assisted with feeding, toileting, walking, and bathing them. I am now 33 years old and I own two cats who I care for (feeding, entertaining, cleaning up after, etc.). Cats arguably have different needs :P One of my hobbies is to watch dog training videos and I don't know if I can put that to good use on your pets, but maybe you'll come back and find your pooch knows some new tricks (or manners)! At the moment, I am not working at a job, so my availability is quite open to the needs of my clients and their pets. I will not be able to bring your furbabies to my home, but given the tools at your home, I will be able to care for them to the best of my ability there! I will ensure your pets have the food and water they need, have a clean litterbox (or take them out), and ensure that the home is safe for the pet in question. I would do a sweep of the house and ensure nothing is out of place or has been messed with (by your pet) before continuing with the duties you've requested me for!

About: I've been raising cats and kittens for the last 23 years. I've done dog and cat check'in for neighbors over the last 15 years. I don't mind scooping litter and cleaning food areas. I'm a stay-at-home mom and have plenty of time to care for pets during the week while my child is at school or in the evenings. I prefer visits in the clients home. I am very cautious to make sure pets don't slip out the door unattended. I'm happy to take them for walks or stay in and play. Your pets deserve the best care while you are away and I'm happy to help!

About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Josh was really fantastic with our cat, Lani! We booked him for 5 days, and it was Lani's first time staying home alone in over a year, so we needed someone she would feel comfortable with. Starting from the meet and greet, Josh was friendly, professional, and asked thorough and thoughtful questions, and we could quickly see that he'd be a great and reliable caretaker for Lani. Throughout the booking, he was punctual, consistent, detailed, and responsive -- and most importantly, very sweet with Lani, giving her plenty of playtime and much needed attention. On the last day, he even cleaned up her fur from the floor, which was such a nice and unexpected surprise! Overall, we were thrilled with choosing Josh and would absolutely book with him again!”


“Maybelline was very receptive to the needs of my two cats. She learned about their medical needs as well as how they like to play. She was punctual, and really cared about the well-being of our pets. I will definitely ask her to care for my cats again!”


About: I am very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, and flexible! I love dogs, but never had to chance to have one since I grew up with a mom being terrified of dogs. However, that didn't stop me from spending time with dogs and animals outside of my home. I have had some experience volunteering at the local animal shelter in college and have done multiple dog sittings for my friends and neighbors. I already enjoy walking around the city and would love to have your pupper around for additional company! I would love to have the opportunity to care for and provide some love to your pup and keep them happy! I am also currently a PAWS Volunteer in Philly for both cats and dogs. I also can petsit cats too! I will follow all instructions and will adhere to any specific requests you may have for your pet! If I am scheduled off that day, I have the entire day to take care of your pet. Whether it's stopping by the place to change your cat's litter, or walking your dog, I am pretty flexible on the days that I am available. Safety is my number one priority for your pet. I will make sure to adhere to any specific instructions you may have, whether it's keeping your dog away from other dogs, or ensuring your home is appropriately locked up after my visit.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life growing up in a big, pet-loving family, there was always a pup (or two) in the mix. That early bond with animals turned into a lifelong love for dogs. Now, I have one of my own who’s basically my daughter, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. What sets me apart is how naturally I connect with dogs and how much I care. Whether it’s keeping up with playful energy or providing calm, attentive care for senior pups, I tailor each experience to your dog’s unique needs. I’m not just here to watch them; I’m here to make them feel loved and safe while you're away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. While I do take on other projects, I’m typically available for in-home care and check-ins. I just ask for a bit of advanced notice to make sure I’m not traveling, but if I’m in town, I’ll be home and fully available for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard, which is perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I also love taking dogs on regular walks to keep them active, engaged, and happy. I do have a dog of my own who will be present during stays. She’s incredibly friendly, well-socialized, and loves having doggy company around. If your dog prefers more space or quiet time, I can easily accommodate that too. I’m happy to crate them if needed, or create a calm, separate space to help them feel secure. Whether in my home or yours, I aim to create a loving, structured environment where your pup can feel relaxed, cared for, and right at home.

“Alyssa is always dependable and goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are cared for. I trust her in my home and feel so fortunate we found her. Having a reliable pet sitter makes travel easier!”


About: I grew up with a male cocker spaniel, his name was Joey, who had been neglected by his previous owner. He was the result of how humans can damage a dog and how dogs can become very fearful towards humans. His aggression ranged from growling at me or my family if we got too close to his bed, or crate, he would growl/ snap at us if we were near him when he was chewing on a toy, and he would bite us, but that was only out of fear. Since he was fearful and nervous about humans, it made me research how to gain his trust (although I was young) by luring him with treats, teaching him new tricks, playing with him, bonding on our walks, patience, unconditional love, positive reinforcement, and showing him that not all humans are going to hurt him. He went from a young fearful dog to a playful and energetic one! In 2020, after 11 years of being his owner, my family and I had to put him down because of kidney failure and old age. During high school in 2015, I volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter, which exposed me to many different dogs and temperaments. My responsibilities were cleaning the kennels, feeding dogs, and walking dogs which were categorized by color (green=small dog/ easy walk) (red= big dog/dog pulls/needs training) I usually walked the red-level dogs, and I was one of the most trusted dog walkers. There were over 20 dogs at this small shelter, mainly consisting of pitbull or bully breeds. The shelter was later forced to shut down because of luxury apartments being built and the town not wanting them. I have dog-sat for my sister many times (and still do), and I even fostered her dog for a year. She owns a beagle/chihuahua mix. I have dog-sat for friends as well when needed. Fast forward to the present, I now own a 9-month-old male husky, vaccines up to date, not neutered, his name is Mochi. He has taught me to be more patient than ever, raising this puppy has been a challenge but we've grown to be so close. Throughout potty training, crate training, teaching him the basic commands, exposing him to new things, and learning about him - it has been a rollercoaster; in a good way! I have always known about huskies and how they're full of energy and very prey-driven but raising one is different than reading about them, as is any dog. Every dog has their own personality and their own temperament. I go on long walks with Mochi and we would often go to the Fort Lee dog park. I am a college student my classes are all online asynchronous so I do all my work at home. I work part-time at a local restaurant, I do plan on quitting to pursue dog sitting or dog walking as my main job, as working with dogs is more fulfilling to me. Other than college and work, I'm home taking care of my puppy or out on the town walking around exploring with my puppy. I live on the 1st floor of the house, I have direct access to the fenced-in backyard and a 9-month-old puppy your dog can play with all day long especially; if your dog has high energy our pups would get along great!! The dogs can have access to both floors of the house, but they would mainly be downstairs as that's where the backyard is. Not only would your dog have a backyard to play in, but we would also go on long walks around the neighborhood. There is also a dog park that is a 20-minute walk away from my house, I take advantage of that 20-minute walk to relieve some of the energy from my husky. The more we walk the better it is!

Sangah P.Star Sitter

“Sangah took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! We just needed drop-in visits to make sure Jojo had enough food and water, and Sangah was super reliable and sent nice updates every day! Definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”


Mariah Q.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cat! She gave him so much love and attention and honestly more playtime than I usually give him. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and truly went above and beyond. I especially appreciated the photo updates while I was away on vacation because it gave me such peace of mind to see my kitty happy and comfortable. He’s normally shy around strangers, but she did an amazing job earning his trust. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future getaways. Highly recommend!”


Allison G.

“Difficult first visit for my dog, but Allison handled it like a pro and called me right away. We worked together to make my dog happy.”


Gigi R.

“Gigi is great. I’m so happy my cat has her to come take care of her multiple times a week! Gigi is kind caring attentive punctual and a great communicator. So happy we have her :)”


Samantha M.
“Samantha took exceptional care of my two very different and very beloved fur babies: Little Miss, my 13 senior tuxedo cat, and Mocha, my high-energy 2-year-old Australian Kelpie. That alone should earn her a medal. She was incredibly gentle and patient with Little Miss, who isn’t always the easiest to please. At her age, she’s earned the right to be picky, but Samantha treated her with the calm, respectful attention she deserves — making sure she ate, stayed comfortable, and had plenty of quiet time (plus pets, of course, on Little Miss’s terms). At the same time, Samantha was a total pro at keeping up with Mocha’s energy. She didn’t just “manage” her — she engaged with her, giving her the physical and mental stimulation she craves. Mocha came back from walks happy, tired, and clearly happy after her walks with Sam. What impressed me most was how easily Sam was able to care for pet’s needs. She was responsible, communicative, and completely in tune with both of my girls. I came home to two calm, happy furbabies and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows what they’re doing, Samantha is it. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

Xiyan Z.
“I was so stressed about finding someone to care for my big dog, but Xiyan was an absolute lifesaver! She was very confident and extremely patient with him. I was originally worried because my dog was still under training at the time, and I thought he would give Xiyan a hard time. To my surprise, however, he behaved so well with her and absolutely loved her! I can't thank her enough for her incredible help.”

“So great to have Melanie take care of our fur balls! She is caring and reliable, even our shy baby loved her!”


Allison S.

“I have known Allison for 6.5 years now and the biggest thing we have in common is our massive love of dogs! I have a dog named cookie and Allison and her get on super well! Allison is always down to take cookie on walks and shower her with the pets. If you let Allison look after your dog I know she will look after them well and love the dog - any breed, any size... really any dog.”


Darienn B.
“Darienn is amazing with animals, and I say that as someone who’s very picky about who watches my dog. She’s watched my dog Robin a few times and I never once had to worry. Robin can be a little shy at first, but she warmed up to Darienn right away. That’s just the kind of person Darienn is calm, patient, and naturally great with animals. She kept me updated, sent cute pictures, and made sure Robin got lots of walks, snuggles, and attention. I honestly think Robin was a little bummed when I came back because she had such a good time. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, kind, and will love your pet like it’s her own, Darienn is the one.”


Paloma D.

“Did amazing with my two dogs! Life saver when my other sitter couldn’t make it & I was already out of town”


Alyssa M.

“Alyssa is always dependable and goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are cared for. I trust her in my home and feel so fortunate we found her. Having a reliable pet sitter makes travel easier!”


Marian A.
“Marian is a huge dog-lover and you can tell in the way she cares for and handles every furry friend she comes into contact with. She's been my go-to dog sitter for the past 5 years and my pup always gets excited seeing Marian and comes home happy. She constantly checks in with me when she's taking care of my fur baby to let me know how he's doing or of any updates and makes sure we're aligned on his care plan. Marian is great at taking my pup out for long walks in different environments since he's highly-energized and to keep him engaged. No matter how detailed my to-do list is when it comes to my pup, Marian always gets things done in timely manner, gives him lots of love, and keeps me updated along the way. My dog is also prone to seizures, but she didn't shy away; she is knowledgable on how to handle situations like this and I trust her to provide the best care when I can't be there with my pup.”
