We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.

About: As a dedicated wildlife and pet caretaker with a passion for understanding and protecting animal habitats, I have spent years immersed in the wonders of the natural world. As a pet owner for over six years, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the unique bonds that form between humans and animals, whether in our homes or in the wild. Currently, I take care of my beloved rescue Siberian husky Niko. As well I spend some of my free time looking after my friend’s dogs and cats. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for pets' minds and bodies. Currently I’m a student at Drexel university and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free Thursday-Sunday mostly in the mornings to late afternoons. Depending on the day I can also do evenings It is important to that pets are comfortable and feel safe all conditions. I make it a rule of thumb to keep dogs on leash during public walks and around other pets. If there is a fenced in area I will make it a priority to check and see if the area is properly supervised and secure for your pet. On regular walks having fun is always number 1. If your pet wants to chill inside and needs cuddles, or wants to take an extra adventure i’m always down.

About: Not only have I lived with dogs my entire life, but I have also been taking care of and walking dogs since my early teenage years. Over the years, I have been responsible for both senior dogs and puppies. Not only do I have experience with different ages, but also with different breeds. During the week I typically work from 8-4 but can often adjust my hours slightly if necessary. I would be happy to spend time taking care of your pet before or after work as well as on the weekend. When I care for pets, I am very attentive to their needs and prioritize spending as much time with them as possible. I am also able to match the exercise level needs for different pets. I love to exercise and get outside, so I will always be excited to get them the movement that they need.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, big or small, from horses and parrots to turtles and more. Caring for a variety of animals has helped me understand their individual needs and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills like through new training techniques and experiences, and I adapt easily to different environments and personalities. I’m also a quick thinker who stays calm in unexpected situations, pay close attention to behavior changes, and treat every pet how I would want someone to treat my own. I am a college student in the offseason so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am available anytime during the week. If I am caring for your pup/cat on a certain day, I will make sure I have no other commitments so I can be able to care for your pet properly. Your dog/cat will be supervised 24/7 when they are with me. I also like to make sure nothing is on the counters or the ground for your pet to eat. Also I make sure to send updates while I’m with them to show that your pet is safe and happy.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care for pets like they’re my own. I’ve grown up around family pets and have experience helping care for them, along with dog walking and daily routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk or quiet time at home, I keep things calm, familiar, and homey so they feel at ease the whole time. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I also go on daily runs, and I’m happy to include pets that enjoy being active and going for walks. I have open availability and a spacious two-bedroom home where pets can comfortably roam and feel at ease during overnight stays. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a clean, spacious space with cozy beds, toys, and plenty of attention so they feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, while making sure they get care, exercise, and companionship. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and well cared for.

About: Growing up on my family farm, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and joys of animals, I discovered a deep passion caring for animals has only grown stronger with time. Caring for our pets and animals throughout their lifespan such as dogs, cats, cows, horses (and more!) I've learned the value of compassion, patience, and dedication. I currently split my time as a part-time student with part-time work and therefore, have a very flexible schedule. I can cater to your schedule and specific needs! I have a golden retriever who enjoys a lot of time outdoors, ample play time, and long walks along the Delaware river. We also have a spacious apartment big enough for him to run and roll around in, or relax for a quick nap on the couch with the warmth of the sun on his face. No matter what your pet enjoys, we are happy to share our home with them, ensuring they get the fun they need throughout every day with us.

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.

About: I have owned dogs from different sizes and behaviors I have gained the experience on my own to care for and adapt to their needs. Whether it’s a lazy senior dog who wants to nap all day , a hyper active doggy who wants to play outside for hours, a small puppy who is still figuring out what’s is going on or a misunderstood scared anxious dog who just wants someone to be there for them im the guy for the job. It doesn’t matter the behavior size or breed I will care for them you don’t have to worry about getting turned down due to anything I love all pets and my service is here to help you. I have a huge assortment of toys for both dogs and cats so you best believe they will be entertained at all times. I have the skills to care for your pet so give me the chance to do so I want to meet all kinds of pets. I’m currently a college student who takes online courses( no meetings just have to do the work) so I have a lot of free time in my hands. I own a pets as well so I have a schedule for them integrated to my lifestyle. I don’t really go out much unless it’s for my dog or family outings so I have all the time in my hands to care for your pets needs as well. I provide multiple services for boarding I do have a fenced back deck and a front yard where my dog and yours could hang out. Their feeding happens in the back deck. I own a husky mix who is active and likes going out and interacting with other pets. It may take some time for them to socialize however I also do have a very big crate in my room where I can start the socialization if your pet is anxious or not . Depending on how the interactions go I will take them out, feed them, play with them together or create seperate schedules until they get accustomed. I provide feeding based on ur set schedule and the food u provide for them. Also follow any rules you have for them such as certain times for potty, activities, walks and bed time. The same applies for house sitting.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for many years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently work full time at an emergency veterinary hospital, which has strengthened my skills in animal care, safety, and recognizing medical needs quickly and responsibly. In addition to my professional work, I occasionally volunteer with the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, where I continue to deepen my experience working with animals in need and supporting their well-being. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, an active walker, or attentive care while you’re away, I bring a reliable, experienced, and compassionate approach to every visit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a full-time job but I have some flexibility so just message me & I’ll see what we can work out! I try my best to be very transparent about my schedule. When pet sitting in a client’s home, I’m always mindful that I’m entering your pet’s space. I take a gentle, patient approach so they don’t feel threatened, often using treats or toys to help them feel comfortable. I never want an animal to feel overwhelmed, and I do everything I can to ensure they feel safe and at ease. I’m especially good at picking up on animals’ emotions and adjusting my approach to meet their needs
