“I just moved into my new house and was so lucky that Christina was available to dog and house sit for me. She sent me the cutest pictures and I could tell that my dog was super happy and well taken care of. She is the best!”

“Timothy did a great job walking Puddin’! Puddin mentioned that Timothy communicated very well, was always on time, and he felt comfortable and confident on his walks.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I started my first dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 10! I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and can’t wait to meet your baby :) I currently work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule both day and night. I am an aspiring law student and love to travel. Rover is a win win because I LOVE dogs and I love money for law books :) I take safety of animals very seriously and will rely on your instruction and my sound judgement to take the best care of your pup as possible
“My Luna girl LOVED Makaylah and was comfortable with her from the get go- which doesn’t always happen as Luna has… big feels lol. Makaylah handled her well, gave her good exercise, and communicated well with me regarding walks (and her move 😔)Sad to see her move away, she is great!”

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up with family pups since childhood. Rescue dogs hold a truly special place in my heart, which inspired my husband and me to adopt our first rescue puppy together. We dedicated ourselves to her training, turning a sweet, active pup into an excellent, well-mannered walker. Through a lifetime of pet ownership, I understand the patience, consistency, and deep love that dogs need, and I'm excited to bring that same dedicated care to your furry family member this summer! I am a school counselor off for the summer, and with my kids at camp during these hours, your pup will have my 100% undivided attention. Perfect for midday walks and check-ins! Whether I’m coming over for a midday walk or a quick drop-in, your pup will get my full attention. I'll make sure they get a good walk at their own pace, fresh water, and whatever feeding routine they're used to. Most importantly, I'm there to give them plenty of love, belly rubs, and playtime so they don't get lonely while you're out. I'll always send you a quick photo update to let you know how they're doing and make sure your house is locked up tight before I leave.

“Being that he's only a year and a half old, Leon is quite energetic and very much still in his puppy phase. I find it somewhat difficult to find a walker patient enough for his behavior, but Joy has been walking Leon for a few weeks now. I will continue to rebook her as long as I possibly can. She is very accommodating with my requests and also thorough in updating me on her walks with Leon, which really puts me at ease while I'm away at work.”

“Jiawei is a super hero! She saved my day after I booked with another walker and they cancel last minute. She was quick to respond to my last minute booking and showed up immediately so I can introduce her to my boy “Gunner” and break down all the details and instructions for his walk and care. I highly recommend her and will surely be using her myself in the very near future.”

I am always the one to call in my family and friend circle for any pet related need, help, or concern. I am also experienced in crate training for all dog ages. Currently I have a very flexible schedule. I do work from home half the week so that allows for more time for animals. Can do short notice bookings when necessary. All fur-babies will get the care and attention needed while in my care. Whether that be extra potty breaks, walks, outside time, or just extra pets.

Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Archie and Frankie while I was away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them as if they were her own. Archie loved his walks, and Frankie was happy and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the updates and photos, too. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Emily!
I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

Jack has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Birdie and Lucia. From the moment they met, Birdie didn’t even look back once she started walking with Jack, and she’s thrilled after every walk. Jack is very in tune with our dogs’ different personalities and needs, and we are so grateful to have someone so kind and trustworthy to care for our pets.
