Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!

Rebecca paid attention to the instructions and provided a TON of updates and photos that I really appreciated! You can tell that she is attentive to my dog's wants and needs and tries to adapt. She even tried to do her favorite activity which is to throw 10 frisbees at a time for her to grab and pick up! Which I think is awesome she tries to accommodate. Would definitely book again! Thank you!!

This was my first time leaving Baxter with someone outside of close family and friends, and Claudia made the whole experience way less stressful than I expected. Baxter has epilepsy and takes meds throughout the day, which she not only made sure he got all his meds on time but even sent me updates each time to confirm. She also came early to meet us and get to know Baxter’s routines, which helped a lot. He’s picky about walks (only likes certain blocks), but Claudia handled it like a pro and kept me posted the whole time. 100% recommend!

Emily was an epiphany for our family. We have always had trouble leaving out now 11-yo German Shepherd because of his multiple health problems requiring daily oral and ocular medication administration and his dog aggression and separation anxiety resulting from troubled past as a neglected dog. He is slow to trust new people and is difficult to walk as he can be unpredictable and his lunge is quite strong. I cannot emphasize enough that this has been a big problem in the past that caused a lot of stress on trips. Emily arrived promptly at the designated time for our meet-and-greet, and from the minute she met Ilbo I could tell that she was an experienced and compassionate dog-handler who was serious about the dog's safety and well-being and would be extremely attentive to his needs. After a short introduction I felt comfortable handing her his leash and watched while she expertly navigated him around the relatively busy streets of Center City. She asked all the right questions to get to know his schedule and maintenance and was warm and friendly with him and with our many instructions and questions. After understanding that she would be a great fit for us, we booked her for an 8-night stay while we traveled abroad to see family. Again, she prepared for the stay by ensuring that she had access to and understood all care instructions and setting forth clear expectations for how she would walk, feed, and support Ilbo while we were gone. As sure as her word we received regular updates about his well-being and honest questions when anything new came up. Unlike previous experiences when we have left him and he exhibited anxious behaviors, with Emily he appeared happy, comfortable, and extremely well-taken care of while we were gone. When we did return, we found him lounging at Emily's feet, healthy, happy, calm, and exhibiting all the signs that Emily had maintained (or even enhanced) his leash-training and social skills. He clearly grew to like and depend on Emily for support and affection. We will absolutely ask (beg) Emily to care for Ilbo again if we leave the city. She is truly gifted with a calm energy that Ilbo really responded to and she pairs that natural gift with lots of experience making her able to care for complex dogs and an attentiveness to detail and sense of responsibility that meant that everything we asked her to attend to was done. She is a real gift to anyone who needs to leave a senior, sick, behaviorally complex, or otherwise unusual pet. We have never felt so comfortable leaving Ilbo with anyone and hope very much that Emily can help others like us as well.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of having Hope take care of our dog and home for a week when we were in a last minute pinch - we could not be happier with the experience! She responded to the booking quickly and scheduled a virtual meet/greet to accommodate the last-minute nature of our request and we could tell immediately she was an experienced pet sitter and highly trustworthy. She arrived promptly, followed all of our dog's care instructions, and gave him tons of love, attention and walks. We loved receiving regular updates and photos of him lounging on the couch and joining her zoom meetings - it really helped put our minds at ease because he's usually anxious while we're away. When we returned, our home was spotless, and our dog was relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Hope to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter! Thank you for everything!

Nadine house sat for our two pups for the first time this weekend. She sent daily updates, we came home to two very chill happy boys and the house was possibly cleaner than when we left. Would love to have her house sit for us any time.

Walker house sat for us for 10 days and watched our two VERY high maintenance frenchies (stomach issues, behavioral issues, etc etc). We were blown away by how seamlessly she connected with our pups - it was like they had known her for months! Thanks to Walker, we were able to enjoy our vacation without spending every moment worried about the dogs (a common occurrence for us on trips). She was communicative (multiple pictures a day, always responsive), flexible, and all around a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Walker and plan to use her whenever we have travel planned!

John did a great job staying at my house and taking care of my baby dog Gilby. He was prompt in responding, courteous, and very interesting in getting to know my dog. Appreciate you, John! ☺️

Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!

Went above and beyond with our pets, Harvey and Aurora. 100% recommend. Harvey, Aurora, and our home were well taken care of. Very communicative and we received updates multiple times throughout the day. Anyone would be lucky to have Ahmirah watch their pets. Thank you so much for everything!

Kirsten was wonderful with my two kittens! She was punctual, communicative, and the kittens loved her. She sent the best photos and plenty of updates. It was a true luxury to be able to relax and unwind on my vacation trusting that my kittens were being well cared for by her. Thank you so much Kirsten!

India was fortunately available when I was in a crunch to find a sitter for my new cat on short notice. I’ve never used Rover before and was nervous to leave my cat in the care of someone new, and India really made the first time super easy. I was provided with so many thoughtful updates and sweet photos of their time together. I will definitely book India again when I plan to be out of town. Her knowledge and experience with pets is apparent and I think anyone would be lucky to add her to their pet sitting roster ◡̈

Wendy was attentive and thoughtful taking care of our house and our animals for a long weekend. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the trip so we never felt nervous about how everyone was doing. We’d recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a sitter and are hoping she’s available next time we’re going away.

Dan took great care of our two dogs at our house while we were away for a night. He was communicative and prompt with his responses and we loved all of his updates! We have a diabetic dog who needs insulin with his meals and is on a very strict schedule with that, and Dan made sure to understand all of our care instructions which we extra appreciate!

Sasha was a wonderful dog sitter and house sitter! She stayed with our pups for a week while we were on vacation and we never once felt nervous about them being left behind. She sent many updates and we were confident our dogs were happy and healthy while we were away. Bonus- our house was immaculate when we returned. He will definitely be using her again in the future.

Princess did a great job of taking care of our cats. She went above and beyond with our cat that takes daily medicine and can be a bit difficult/shy. It felt great to know she was getting her meds and they were all well Taken care of while we were gone. Would ask her to pet sit again!

Amazing communication, went above and beyond with my pets. They loved him and I am really grateful that he was able to help me out with such short notice. I received updates and pictures every walk, every few hours. One of my dogs is reactive and Stefan still went above and beyond to take him on long walks and handled him with such care and expertise. I have a hard time trusting anyone with my babies, but I can definitely trust Stefan. Thank you so much!
