About: I have experience training puppies to prepare them for The Seeing Eye as well as experience training and caring for my own dogs and friends/family pets. I am a nurse and currently working 3 days a week so I am available during normal working hours to help your pup stretch their legs! I am familiar with safe walking paths around the city to take your pet for a long or short outing and grassy areas to let your dog play. I am comfortable spending time with your pet in your home and crating them until you come back.
About: I have been a member of Rover for several years now and have worked in various veterinary clinics, so I have experience taking care of your fluffy friends. I recently graduated with a Biology degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and am working as a technician's assistant at a veterinary hospital. I love animals and enjoy being around them, and I would love to spend my extra time helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time as a technician's assistant at a veterinary hospital, but in my free time, I would love to spend time with your lovely animals. In your home, I will be careful and cautious to ensure nothing happens to your pet or home. I will confirm gates are fenced before letting your pet out, lock the doors when leaving, check to make sure trash or food is secured and locked away, clean any messes or toys, and ensure your pet is secure inside.

About: Throughout my 21 years I’ve had many childhood pets! I currently have a dog and a cat (at home not here). That’s why I turned to Rover! I miss being able to interact with four legged friends. I’ve given my dog many baths, love to run/walk, play fetch and calm him down whenever he is feeling anxious. I’m currently taking Summer courses at Temple University! Classes are M-Th and end at 12:00 and Fridays are completely free! I attend daily Solidcore classes around 4:30 or sometimes spontaneously during the day/morning but am gone for no longer than an hour and fifteen since it is so close and I love sprinting out of the door as soon as it ends. I’ll literally be home 90% of the day because my days consist of studying and Solidcore since none of my friends are here for the Summer. Currently, I’m living in a 1,200 sq ft apartment so your pet will have all of the space to let out their energy! I love going on hot girl walks so your bestie will get tons of exercise. If your dog gets tired I’ll even carry them lol I’ve had to do that a few times for my own.
About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds — dogs, cats, and everything in between! Whether your pup needs a walk, your cat wants quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, I adapt to their unique needs and routines. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat your pets like family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I am currently in between jobs so I am available all week for pet care. Walks or stop in visits. Cat overnights, anything that needs to be requested! I treat your home with respect and follow your pet’s usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or bathroom breaks, I stick closely to your instructions. I also provide companionship and lots of gentle attention so your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. When pets stay with me, I create a calm, welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I provide plenty of play, rest, and affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort, ensuring they feel secure and happy during their stay.
About: I’m super excited to get to know and love your furry friend! My schedule is extremely flexible and I currently live in a pet friendly apartment. I will always keep you informed of updates, pictures and make sure your pet doesn’t miss you too much while you’re away. I have a lot of availability and I do my best to keep my calendar on here up to date. Especially since working from home I’m able to give your pet a lot of love and attention! Giving your pet lots of cuddles, pets, walks, treats and care is extremely important! I care about following a routine as far as feeding time and walks go.
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog Jackson since I adopted him in Nov 2019. I work from home, and I know other people don’t have that opportunity. I would love to help people give their dogs more attention while their humans are not home. I work M-F from 9am-5pm, but have the luxury of working from home, so have a very flexible schedule. It gives me a lot of opportunity to ensure my dog is getting the walks and attention he needs on a daily basis I live in a very central location in philadelphia, and know a lot of great walking paths I discovered while walking my own dog. I can work with all types of dogs, mine is reactive on leash, so we’ve done a lot of training and I can apply those learnings while walking your dog if necessary!
About: I grew up in a rural area and have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I regularly volunteered at my animal shelter taking care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I dog-sat for many people since highschool, including my superintendent. I have taken animal behavior courses in college and I worked for PennVet in the microbiology lab. I love our furry friends and most importantly want them to recieve the best care possible! I have classes Monday-Friday but for only three hours that vary each day. I am fully available on the weekends. My weekday availability is as follows: Monday: 6am-3pm Tuesday: 6am-1pm; 5pm-9pm Wednesday: 6am-11am; 5pm-9pm Thursday: 4pm-9pm Friday: 12pm-9pm I am happy to follow and guidelines and restrictions you have for your pets. I have two dogs and a cat who all have very different personalities, and so I understand the importance of following any and all tailored instructions. I am happy to work with small, large, or reactive dogs.
