“Ellen was absolutely amazing! Super flexible with some strange arrangements helping us look after our dog in a downtown hotel. Very kind and Poppy took to her immediately. Would highly highly recommend.”

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.
“Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!”

“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”

“Gregg is an awesome pet sitter. My dogs were very comfortable with him. He is kind, considerate, caring and he pays attention to detail. He sent many pictures and provided detailed status updates during the sit. My dogs and I will definitely be requesting his pet sitting services again soon!”


“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”

“I would recommend Erin as a sitter. She was very detail oriented during our meet and greet. She arrived on time and departed on time. I received plenty of updates on my pup complete with the most ADORABLE photos. When I returned, my home was clean and tidy and my pup was calm and content. Overall 10/10 recommend!”
“Sabina did an amazing job sitting my cats over the holidays! i was in a last-minute bind and looking for overnight help for my two cats and she was kind enough to take the job and go above and beyond to care for my babies/send updates. it was so nice being able to have some peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. would highly recommend!”

“Hope did a wonderful job watching our pups. She’s attentive and kept us updated throughout us being away. She also sent photos of the pups frequently which we appreciated. Highly recommend Hope and will use her again!”

“Ryan is an exceptional pet sitter. He’s professional diligent friendly and he loves animals. Our dog Sammy is very particular about whom he likes and Sammy loves Ryan. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog when we travel. However I never worry when Ryan is caring for him. When we return it’s obvious Sammy has been well cared for and well loved by Ryan.”

“Greg is the best! This was our second time booking with him and we definitely would have him pet sit and/or dog walk for us again in the future. We feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies with him. And, even more importantly, Cassie and Pinto love to be with him. He is respectful of our home, is a great communicator and keeps us up to date with texts and photos.”

“Christina is wonderful to our pups. She is very friendly and did everything we asked. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Our pups and house is very well taken. Will use Christina in the future!”

“Enrique J.came through and provided housesitting for my (slightly spoiled) shelter pup over Christmas week when another arrangement fell apart. All was well with the dog and my place and we all had a great holiday!”

“Very communicative and paid very good attention to my dog. My dog is leash reactive and hyperactive and she was able to give him all the attention he needed.”

“Cheyenne took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town for 6-days. She was very responsible, sent us pics and made the dogs and us happy. We will use her again.”

“Incredible sitter! Rhonda was crazy knowledgeable and attentive to my boy. Very communicative and it made leaving my puppy with her so so easy. Majorly recommend her services! Thank you Rhonda!!”

“Carismeldi is AMAZING!! We have never had a more caring, respectful & communicative sitter. She sent us very detailed updates and tons of photos which really put our mind at ease. Our house was spotless when we returned and Tyson seemed to have a great time with her. We are looking forward to booking with her again!”


“Third time having Theresa puppy sit in our home, and will gladly keep using her services. Punctual, great communication and updates, and respectful of our home.”

I would recommend Erin as a sitter. She was very detail oriented during our meet and greet. She arrived on time and departed on time.

Taylor has sat for our pup many times but this was her first overnight stay and it went GREAT. She stayed with Mr. Scruff for four nights and we were so thankful to not have to worry about him at all while we were gone. We got plenty of updates, she followed all of our instructions (especially important with his separation anxiety and reactivity), and was also a great houseguest. Our buddy was belly up, playing, and eating while we were away, which means he felt safe and happy — all we can ask for!

Ava was an amazing house/dog sitter for the weekend! She took amazing care of Archie and Cora and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She checked in every morning and evening and sent pictures, and we felt like the two of them were in great hands! We would definitely book Ava's services again in the future!

Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!

We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She took such great care of Ellie, sent lots of updates and photos, was quick to communicate, and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Ellie was in such good hands. She also helped with a last-minute walk request the week before our trip. She treated both our home and our pup with so much care and respect. She is reliable and trustworthy, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
