“Elle was a fantastic sitter. I hadn’t yet left my 9mo old puppy with anyone she hadn’t known for a while. Elle and her were fantastic together. I can tend to be a little Type B, and Elle was patience with me every step of the way.”

I provide quick and open communication, allowing relief of any concerns. I love sending pictures throughout my time caring for your fur-baby!

“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!”

About: I grew up around dogs and have had my own dog, Cooper, for eight years now! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, besides Cooper I currently have two cats. Before I had Cooper, I spent a number of years having smaller animals like hamsters and guinea pigs as pets. I also love music and listen often throughout the day so there’s never a dull moment! I’m currently working part time and work certain evenings throughout the week, so my most consistent availability is before 2pm. I’m happy to try to work with your schedule. I have one dog and two cats, I feed them all every morning and feed the dog a second time in the evening. I take my dog out multiple times throughout the day. I also have a large dog crate if needed for any reason.

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.

“Karyssa has been an incredible dog walker and an absolute lifesaver for me and my pup. She’s reliable, punctual, and clearly loves what she does. From day one, she took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and needs, which made a huge difference in how quickly my dog warmed up to her. Each walk is more than just a bathroom break—Karyssa makes sure my dog gets real exercise, stimulation, and attention. She always provides thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that she genuinely cares and treats my dog like her own. Having someone I can trust with my pet is priceless, and I’m so thankful to have found Karyssa. She’s dependable, kind, and passionate, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life, as I’ve come from an animal loving family! I’ve additionally pet sit for friends and family and am comfortable with adapting to different energies as well as administering special diets and medications. I’m a fairly active person who loves getting out of the house and moving, and my neighborhood is very walkable- full of one way streets and wide sidewalks! My boarding rate is higher than my other rates because I only ever board one pet at a time. Your pet will be getting individual, dedicated care in a safe environment! I work remotely, so am home most of the day. I am available for regular care of your pet and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to take breaks as needed! My home is pet and smoke and pet free, and the back patio has six foot high cement walls. I have a pet gate on my staircase for when I leave the house, so no fear if your furry friend likes to scrounge in clothing or laundry! Additionally, the entrance to my house has a secondary door which is always closed, so there’s no chance of accidental pet breakouts while entering or leaving the house.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for at least 10 years now. I also have experience with plant care, small reptiles and birds. Just let me know how I can help you. I’m working full time and can work on the weekends fri-sun anytime and also on Wednesdays after 4pm. My schedule is flexible so we can always adjust a little if need be. I have a fenced yard and an apartment with lots of space. I also drive and can get to where you are and the best dog parks in and out of the city.

“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: Hi my name is Natalie and I am a huge lover of all animals, especially cats and dogs! I enjoy spending time and engaging with them, I am a true caretaker at heart! When it comes to dogs I enjoy taking long walks to the park or through the neighborhood. The attention and love given from them is unconditional and they truly make the best of friends! I have a 7 month old shepherd mixed puppy who I adore! He is very friendly and playful with other dogs. I am also always around and caring for my family dogs from morkies, pit bulls, to chihuahuas. I enjoy showing them love, going on fun walks and playing a game of fetch. I would love to make new furry friends and look forward to the opportunity to walk or sit your fur baby/babies. I am working from home and flexible with my scheduling. So I am available mornings, afternoons and nights. I'd love to work with your scheduling as needed. I currently live in a spacious home with a fenced back yard. It's ideal for the dogs to play and if needed for the dogs to be hosted in a different room area/space to relax.

“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.”

About: I have four dogs of my own: two 70lb golden retrievers, one 4lb chihuahua, and one 15lb mutt. I've grown up working with animals at shelters and have even done my own rescue missions and adopted them out. My family dog lived for 15 beautiful years and had many health issues in her last few years of life. This gave me experience in administering medications and knowledge of how to care for elderly animals and respecting their schedules. I love walking dogs and taking them for hikes as well. I've never walked a cat before but I'm sure it's about the same! I'm all for caring for other pets and overnight stays (no worries about my four, the hubby will be home to care for them.)

About: Hi there! My name's Kate, and I'm a dog lover through and through. I grew up with dogs and have 10+ years of experience dog sitting and walking (including overnight home stays and drop in visits). From play, enrichment activities, walks, to attentive and detail-oriented care with meals, medicine, and wellbeing, I treat each dog I care for like my own with lots of affection and love. A bit of personal background: I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska and am trained as a professional opera singer. I received my Bachelor of Music from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and my Master of Music from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. I am currently based in Fishtown Philadelphia, and am able to drive or bike to dog-sit and walk, based on your location. I have often done in-home stays for out-of-town folks. Prior to caring for your dog, I like to first do a meet and greet with you and your dog, so we can get to know each other and ensure your pup will be comfortable. That way we can also go over sitting information and any questions, so I can provide the best care possible. I am comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, though depending on how many dogs you have, that may affect my fee. I have experience administering medicine to dogs with treats or meals. I am happy to send frequent photo and text updates, to make sure you're always in the loop and have peace of mind. Please feel free to send any questions my way. Thank you so much and best wishes, Kate My availability is currently open for the majority of September and October. I will be briefly out of town at the end of September, which is noted on my Rover calendar. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have experience with and am comfortable staying in your home while dog-sitting. I am also happy to tend to any plants as well. I love sharing walks, and providing enrichment activities like “find the treat” or going to get a pup cup.
