“Alexa took care of our kitty over the holiday weekend! We are so glad we found her. She took good care of our baby. She sent detailed updates and went the extra mile by coming up with a creative idea to get him to eat his food (since he usually doesn’t eat much while we’re away). We highly recommend her!”
“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“Jill did a fantastic job caring for my cat Leo. She was punctual, communicated regularly, provided photos and updates with each visit, and followed all the instructions as requested. Also reasonably priced for the service she provided. Will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Brandon has been watching my golden retriever puppy once a week for the past month, and he’s been great! He is attentive, caring, and communicative, always providing updates and carefully following any instructions I leave. He’s also very accommodating if I ask for any changes. My puppy is always happy and well cared for when I get home. I highly recommend him!”
“Rachel is super dependable, a great communicator, and patient with our elderly and shy cat. I have rebooked with her and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!”
“Zoe took such great care of my cat Charlie!! He was dealing with some unexpected eye problems right before I left, and Zoe was super great in sending progress photos of his eye and answering some questions for my vet! will definitely be requesting Zoe again next time I go away :)”
“Charlotte was our first sitter we used on Rover, and we're so happy we chose her! We received daily updates with cute quips about how our kitty was doing. It was easy to tell through the photos that Zsuzsi warmed up to Charlotte almost immediately and had fun playing with her. And when we returned, she was happy and healthy, which is the most important! All in all, Charlotte went above and beyond with her friendliness, communication, and care. We will definitely be booking her again, and we know Zsuzsi will be happy to reunite!”
“We had a long time cat sitter we and our cats loved that moved out of town over a year ago. We thought we’d never be able to find someone as great to replace her but Katrina & Damián are just as terrific! They watched our cats while we were out of the country on a longer trip & one of them came by 2x/day while we were gone. They followed all our instructions & made extra effort to get my shy cat to come out for pets & play. They sent me plenty of updates & we returned home to two happy, well cared for cats. We will absolutely use them again!”
“This is my second time booking Steven to watch my cat Ozzy, and he’s the best!! She loves him and I feel super reassured knowing she’s in great hands while I’m away! I will continue to rebook with Steven any time I need a pet sitter (:”
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Rachel was a total lifesaver when my first sitter had a medical emergency while I was already out of the country. Rachel was patient, flexible, and quick to respond. She cared for my two big personality cats with tremendous care and kindness! I seriously cannot sing her praise enough!”
“Sienna is so fantastic. My cat is an old sick little guy who requires medication and she is able to build enough trust with him to give him his medication. She goes the extra mile and is even able to get him to play. She is super communicative and professional. I will only hire Sienna.”
About: I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, and honestly, time outdoors with a dog is my favorite way to recharge and get away from the screen. A good walk or an afternoon of play doesn't feel like a chore to me — it's the part of my day I look forward to. That means your dog gets someone with the energy and genuine enthusiasm to keep up with them, not just clock in and out. I grew up with a golden retriever and was the one taking care of him solo whenever my parents traveled for work, so I've been the trusted "person in charge" since I was a kid. I offer dog walking, doggy day care, and drop-in visits & house sitting, and I'm comfortable with everyone from high-energy pups to laid-back loungers. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company, or a full day of play, I'll treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet you both! As a grad student with a flexible, largely home-based schedule, I can give your pet real attention and keep to their routine. Through the summer I'm generally free all day, every day, except Sunday mornings. Because I'm home and around for most of the day, I can stick to your pet's normal routine — feedings, walks, meds, and play at the times they're used to — and send you updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. If you have a specific schedule you'd like me to follow, just let me know and I'll build my day around it. Doggy day care: I'm in a comfortable 750 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with easy access to Rittenhouse Square, so your dog gets a cozy home base plus plenty of nearby green space for walks, play, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They'll have my attention, a steady routine, and regular trips outside rather than being left to lounge alone. Dog drop-in visits: I like to be thorough so your dog's day feels exactly like it does when you're home. Before your first visit, I'll ask where to find the spare leash, poop bags, water, and treats, and I'll want to know your usual walking route and routine. The more detail you can share, the better — I'd genuinely rather have too many instructions than too few, so your pup gets the same care and rhythm they're used to. Cat drop-in visits: For cats, I pay close attention to the details that keep them comfortable while you're away. I'll ask where the litter box is, whether it needs refilling, and exactly how you'd like it cleaned, plus where to find food, water, and treats. I also like to know their favorite toy and how they usually like to play or spend their day, so I can match their normal routine rather than disrupt it. Clear instructions are always welcome — I'd rather follow your way of doing things to the letter.
“Briana is thoughtful, responsible and responsive. She took outstanding care of our kittens and her daily pictures were a joy (and better than the ones I take!!!). Would use her again without hesitation and recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Tricia was great! She was so thorough, responsive and communicative. She was happy to feed our fish in addition to caring for our senior cat and sent pics and updates of everyone. We will definitely try to work with her again!”
“Rachel is always fantastic with drop-ins to check on our cat. Great communication, always takes time to give the cat pets and playtime, and we always appreciate the great pictures & videos at the end of the drop-in!”

Chasity did some drop-in visits for our cat Tucker and was amazing!! He can be a bit needy and is very chatty but she loved hanging out with him and sent so many great photos. She made sure his litter box was clean and gave him plenty of love while she was here! She was also very responsive and right on time for the scheduled visits. I’d definitely recommend her and will be scheduling with her again in the future if she’s available!
River is such a nice and thoughtful person! They always go above and beyond!! We always feel so at ease knowing our Nala is being taken care of by River! River’s updates are so detailed and they have such a big heart. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!!
Susan was wonderful, and so understanding of both my shy kitty and my kitty who has been territorial after our move. She was so attentive to them, and also was gracious enough to water my plants while I was gone. I would highly recommend her as a sitter! I knew that my boys were in excellent hands with her while I was away!
