She sent us pictures of him every day and did an amazing job maintaining his routine. We're so grateful for her excellent care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, responsive, and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.

“Karla surprised me in many ways. 1st surprise was that she arrived earlier than the agreed time, which was exactly what I needed because my plans changed slightly and I needed to leave earlier than the agreed time. 2nd, it turned out she is bilingual, just like my dog Pixie! She sent updates with pics twice per day and appeared to truly enjoy my dog. She left everything exactly as I have left my home. I would re-hire her in a heartbeat!”

“Sama is such an amazing cat sitter! She is very professional, kind and friendly. During the meet and greet, I can tell that she truly loves cats and I believe that she took care of my two kittens as if they were her own. She is clear about what she is comfortable with, how long she will be with the cats, and when I can expect updates during the house sitting period. The cats adored her and were super happy to have someone around while I was away. I would definitely recommend Sama to anyone who needs cat sitting services, and I’m going to definitely book her services again when I go out of town :)”

Sent me all the pictures (some of which are truly professional quality) kept me updated and truly loved my dogs like they were her own. She also picked up and cleaned my apartment better than I had left it. I could NOT recommend Sandi more - now words to express how happy I am with everything!”

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician working in both general practice and emergency medicine, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) If we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or just spending time together, I make sure every pet receives care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. It’s my priority to provide reliable care that keeps your pet comfortable and maintain their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need :) Because I’m a veterinary technician, I'm able to recognize changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your vet’s instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want to build trust with both you and your pet through reliable, compassionate care.

“Lizzy took amazing care of our three dogs for a full week — each with their own personality and routine — and handled it all perfectly. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants and keeping everything in great shape while we were away. Communication was excellent — we got daily updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve always been intrigued with working with animals. In 6th grade, I joined this club called S.O. S. (save our strays) since then, I was infatuated with helping animals around the community. For as long as I remember, we’ve always fostered pets growing up and as I get older I realize the importance of having time and attention for these furr babies. I have a 3 year old german shepherd mix and her name is paisley! she is the sweetest girl I can ask for 🫶🏻 I am always learning more about pets everyday! I am primarily available for the weekends. during the week, I am working at my full time job. I am available during the week after 6pm and open availability for the weekends. I am huge in making sure the pet feels comfortable. Everyone takes care of their pets differently so I would start off with whatever the pet parents ask to do. I will keep constant communication with pet parents if they like and assure that their pets are being taken care of.

Sofi did an amazing job watching my dog and cat! She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even left the sweetest hand-drawn portrait of my pets! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again.

Sandi has taken care of our two Pomeranians at our home numerous times and she has always done an excellent job. Our puppies always look so happy in every picture update she sends us. She always takes wonderful care of our home as well, leaving it cleaner than when she arrived. Would recommend her to anybody I know that needs a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter.

Lillian was a delight to work with and she brought both professionalism and compassion and care to taking care of Dixie (dog) and Birdie (cat). She was really good about providing updates and pictures, which is important to me, and she showed concern and determination when Birdie decided to hide from her for hours. She was determined to find her and did, even knowing that she was just pulling her usual antics and would turn up. Really felt secure being home and knowing they were in great hands!

Melissa is absolutely fantastic. She took great care of our baby and communicated thoroughly. She also asked additional questions throughout her stay, which I really appreciate. I feel like there are always things that one forgets to address in advance and it gives me the feeling that she is really paying attention and cares about our little guy. Sent regular pics and updates. So glad we found a reliable new friend for Mowgli 💖 We will definitely be booking Melissa again.
