“Daniel stuck it out when my dog Nelly gave him a hard time during her check-in! She’s very skeptical of strangers, but he won her over and provided great commentary throughout the process. Hugely appreciated!”

“Sarah did an amazing job watching our dog for the day! I really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the visits. She was flexible with our schedule as well. We came home to a very content happy pup which is always a great sign. Would welcome her back anytime!”

“Matina and Amanda took great care of my kitties while I was gone! They sent lots of pics, were quick to communicate, and were flexible with timing. Highly recommend!”

“Christina dropped in on Benno the cat while we were away on a brief trip. I appreciate Christina's service for many things, here are 3. 1. Flexible: we knew we'd be out of town, we did not know when...until we did. 2. Excellent communication and responsiveness. 3. She is winning Benno over...Have already rebooked!”


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
“As usual, Gokhan and Sue provided excellent care to our two cats even when they were being difficult and finicky. We very highly recommend Gokhan and Sue to anyone who gets worried about their pets!”

“Jennifer did a great job caring for our kitties! She sent lots of photos, and mini updates about each cat. I was happy that she didn’t have trouble giving our cat his meds while we were gone. Overall, she was extremely responsive and thoughtful. I would definitely book her again :)”

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.
“Lisbet was great! She was patient and flexible through the booking process, was easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Both my pets are old men and she didn’t bat an eye at their senior quirks. I’d be very happy to rebook with her in the future!”
“Emily was great!! Response time was very quick. She accommodated our schedule for our meet and greet and our dog loved her right away. I was away for vacation so I gave her my husbands number and she texted him everyday with an update everyday. Would absolutely use Emily again!”

“Maya was amazing with my cat! It was the longest I've been away from her, but Maya made me less nervous with her awesome notes about my floof. She even sent pictures of them cuddling which is an amazing feat considering my cat is skittish. Thank you so much!!”

“Jiawei took wonderful care of my cats and followed all of my instructions including giving medication. She kept me updated with photos and was reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”


About: Hi! My name is Luz. I do my best to give pets the best care and experience i can provide. I have 5 years of experience taking care of animals of all kinds. I just don’t watch pets I learn their routines and understand their personalities and make sure they feel safe and are loved. I have very strong communication skills and very reliable managing time. I am working full time at my job but i am available 7 days a week for drop in visits and dog walking. I am willing to give my time after work which is at 3:30pm Monday - Friday. I am also free on my weekends (ALL DAY) to make sure you are covered. I monitor pets stress, illness, or unusual behavior and respond quickly. I understand basic pet first aid and know when to escalate concerns. I will never take risk with other animals or unfamiliar situations.
“Elizabeth was responsive, flexible, and sent lots of pictures with my pup!! My dog has intense separation anxiety, and Elizabeth took a weight off my shoulders when I had to leave the house for a bit. I will be rebooking with her again:)”

Lisbet was amazing. From the first visit I felt like Kali was in great hands by the communication and photos. Also, when Lisbet noticed Kali was scratching, she reached out to ask if she could take off her dress that seemed to be irritating her. Thankful I had a sitter that put me at ease while I was away and took great care of my baby.

daniel was so great and helpful, went above and beyond taking care of my babies while i was in new orleans, took out trash for me - manually fixed their automated litter box when it got jammed - checked on them extra when i requested - he’s so friendly, and quick to respond! i 100% recommend daniel

Alyssa is one of, if not the best, cat sitters I’ve ever had! She’s been going above and beyond with her visits and reports with our two kitties. She’s been prompt with her visits, doing everything we asked and more, and is clearly such an animal lover - being so sweet with our babies! One of our cats recently had a urinary blockage so we were worried to leave him for a long weekend and Alyssa has been recording and reporting all of the detail we were looking for to ensure he’s been doing ok. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, super sweet, and such an animal lover! Thank you so much Alyssa!!

Maya was good at caring for my three indoor cats and the two outdoor stray cats I feed. She handled the routine well, making sure everyone was well-fed and had fresh water exactly as requested. She was dependable enough to manage both my indoor crew and the outdoor strays while I am away. I received great updates and photos, and came home to well fed cats. I highly recommend Maya.
