Doggy Day Care in Philadelphia

About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾

“Thank you for taking care of Zeke while we’re away!”

About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am available for walking, dog park visits, bathing them is optional, and I am open to any breed. I have always been great with pets, we have 3 of our own who are amazing with everyone and other animals. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely

“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house. As a retiree and a homebody, my daily routine already revolves around my dogs. We have a standard schedule throughout the day with many play and potty breaks outside. As mentioned above, I have a privacy fence in my backyard so the pups can play and potty securely. They are never without supervision. I will crate if needed.

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another. on 07/27/2026 my Daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson will be living with me. If on your profile it doesn't show friendly with kids, I will reach out and see if having a 3 year old in the house will be in issue. I love animals and look forward to watching your fur babies.

“Savannah was amazing, seriously. She made time for my pup on Mother’s Day so we could have a get away for a couple hours! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, I would definitely book with her. Probably the plus 1 of the stay was the fenced in yard, so they are able to just run and potty freely without having to be leaded.”

“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

“Maddie was so wonderful with my little puppy! She kept me updated all day and provided pictures of his activities. She was very insightful regarding new puppy care and training and was nice enough to answer all the questions I had as a new puppy mom with lots of anxiety! Would highly recommend!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.

“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”

About: I have several years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I grew up with dogs and have two cats of my own. I love animals and have been around them my whole life. I've cared for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and clients, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to overnight stays and check-ins. I'm very active, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm also attentive and patient, which helps me work well with all types of pets. Whether they're energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I'm reliable, responsible, and treat every pet like my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I always make sure to stick to their routines and give them plenty of care and attention. I am currently home for the summer in between semesters of school. I have lots of availability day or night for the next month. And love to be outside and in nature I have a great home that’s in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. It is not fenced in but is mostly secluded from anyone else, and has lots of walking and playing area.

“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”

About: I have had a dog in my life since age 6. I have always had rescue dogs and as many as 8 on a large property. I have lost all 11 now and don't know if I can take the heartbreak again. To provide boarding or daycare options, my 'dog fix' will be fulfilled and serve your needs also. I have never met a dog that didn't like me, all dogs I have met engage with me quickly. I am a RN and have performed CPR on one of my dogs before bringing him back to life. I can give oral meds and have given injections to my dogs in the past. I walk daily and if your dog wants to join me, perfect! I work from home and an empty nester. I am home most afternoons and evenings and will adjust my schedule to be here with your fur kid without large gaps in time. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door to the backyard if your dog knows how to use one. My neighbor is small with sidewalks for safety. I have a large and medium crate if your dog requires one no need to bring it. They can be on the couch or even sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a covered patio to protect from the weather elements so your dog can lay outside and enjoy fresh air. Water will be available outside also.

“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”

“Lyndsey and her kids were wonderfully sweet to my dog while I visited a tourist attraction. She was very prompt in all of our communications and understanding when I mistook a time zone difference! Lyndsey has a lot of experience and I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”

“Finnegan always feels sooo loved and seems to be just at ease...Michele is great!”

“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”
