“Ryssa was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have been happier with her care! She went above and beyond pet sitting for me and my dog absolutely loved her.”
“Kat was great with my cat Josie! She sent me pictures and went above and beyond to make sure Josie was happy and comfortable while I was on vacation. 😻”
“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”
“John was the best dog sitter we have ever hired. He was incredibly communicative and was constantly sending us photos and updates. Our dog has separation anxiety and John made sure she was always well cared for and loved. We have already rebooked John for our next trip!”
“Bethany was fantastic with my senior girls that can be somewhat particular haha. She was super responsive and your pets will be in great hands.”
“Wow, Noa was an amazing sitter for our little guy, sharing very thorough and thoughtful updates! She is very personable, anticipated the needs of our little one, and went above & beyond to make sure he was okay and felt comfortable! We will definitely be asking Noa back to hang with our pup in the future!! ❤️”
“Lauren was a lifesaver! My wife went into labor early and all of our plans with the previous sitter fell apart. Luckily Lauren was available to watch our two dogs. She was reliable and responsive and was able to adjust to the situation and all of my random disjointed messages I sent as we made our way to the hospital. Definitely would book her again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Lexi was awesome! She was so patient with my pup who is a little more hands on since she’s not potty trained. Lexi updated me regularly with pics and was super responsive which put me at ease during my first time using a sitter! She was also so kind to be available when I was in a pinch with just 1 day notice. Thanks again Lexi!”
“Stefan was a wonderful dog sitter for our 9 year old pitbull mix! He stayed the weekend with her, caring for all her needs and providing her company. His calm energy was a great match for our pup who can be a little anxious and wary of strangers. Stefan was also a very respectful guest in our home and kept us updated regularly with photos and how she was doing. Thank you Stefan!”
“Chelsea was an awesome and flexible sitter! Orzo and Rice loved her and she communicated very well.”
“Allison was great. She was super communicative and took great care of sweet girl. We got lots of photos and consistent updates. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Rebecca is amazing. She's watched my dog, Chuck, three times and each time she goes out of her way to make sure Chuck is happy and healthy. I also really appreciated that she would text me everyday to let me know how my little guy was doing”
“Dan took excellent care of my dog, Billy, while I was out of town for the week. He sent frequent updates and made sure Billy stayed on track with his meds. I could tell when I got home that Billy had a great time and was very well taken care of. Would totally recommend Dan for all your pet care needs!”
“Zoe stepped in for us when a sitter had to cancel last-minute and she was excellent! It was our first time leaving our pup with someone overnight and it was a great success. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and we were so grateful Zoe was able to hang with him the entire time we were away. She followed our instructions and was easy to communicate with, punctual, and very kind. We’d absolutely hire her again!”
“We have booked Kelsey twice now and she has been phenomenal. Our dog is shy and weary of strangers, but she absolutely loves Kelsey. She also provides updates and photos throughout the day. We will definitely be using Kelsey again in the future if possible.”
“Nina did a phenomenal job. I got the impression that she genuinely enjoyed being around my pets, which I feel like is any pet parent's dream. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future for any needs.”
About: We’ve spent the last 16 years pet sitting in New York before making the move to Philadelphia, and we’re excited to meet more furry (or fluffy) friends here. From energetic dogs and laid-back cats to the occasional adventurous rabbit, we’ve love them all. We treat every pet like part of our own family—because that’s exactly how it should be. Freelancing and working from home gives us complete flexibility. Sarah and I can cover the schedule with ease! Your pets are our priority. Give us a try!! When we care for pets in your home, we treat it like our own—tidy, respectful, and welcoming. We take the time to get to know your pets’ routines and personalities, so they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just good company, we’re there to keep them feeling loved and secure. You can trust that we’ll leave your home just the way you left it—and your pets looking forward to our next visit.
“Mary was a dream sitter! She took care of our two dogs, Patricia and Hannibal, while we were on vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. Patricia was injured so required more attention and Mary rose to the task. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone who cares and is professional!”
“Sarah and Dasha were amazing while I took a short trip. They sent regular updates and pictures and took awesome care of all three of my animals. I would definitely recommend!”
