Charlotte watched my cat for a week and she was great! Charlotte took many pictures everyday for me to have something to look forward to. She was very responsive via text when we chatted and made sure to help my the check-list of care items for Fava. Fava enjoyed the playtime and getting treats. Charlotte was kind to visit the home prior to make sure she would be all set before the visit. I appreciated her kindness and care for Fava. Looking forward to working with Charlotte!!

Abigail was fantastic from start to finish. She instantly clicked with my shy dog and was extremely communicative throughout her visit with him. This made me feel very assured as an overprotective dog parent! I'm 100% going to book with her again next time we need care.

I’m brand new to Philly and Cullen made me feel so confident and secure leaving my cat Oliver after just having moved. She took amazing care of him and gave him lots of attention. Cullen truly treats your pet like her own and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Faith has done an amazing job with Iggy while I was out of town. She was thoughtful and got Iggy to be affectionate and social with her too, which hasn’t always been the case with other cat sitters! Can’t wait to work with Faith again in the future!

About: I only care for one pet at a time and have no other pets in the household. I’ve had a pet in my family since I was born. Ive had two boxers and a cat as well as other small pets. We’ve also taken in and care for a female dog to mate with ours. Pets of all kinds are nothing new to us. I am available for boarding every day of the week. Your pet will not be left alone for longer than 2 hours if left alone at all. I have a decent sized fenced backyard. There are no other pets in the home. Your pet will not be left alone for more than 2 hours. Dogs can be taken on walks if requested. Potty can be done outside or inside on a pad.

Jacob was awesome! He sent such detailed updates and multiple pictures per visit. I could tell from his messages that he was really starting to bond with both our dog and our cat. He was very sensitive to their needs and quite perceptive in reading how comfortable they were with him.

Daisy is one of the most responsible, kind, and fun people I've had the pleasure of knowing. When I first got my cat, Daisy was one of the only people I was comfortable leaving her with. I always knew that I could count on Daisy to keep her happy and well taken care of when I couldn't be around.

Ella was great! We booked a short notice drop in on a holiday weekend and she was very responsive and flexible! Our dog was well taken care of and the notes/pictures were very appreciated! While out our pup got into some toddler toys and Ella picked it up and notified us right away which in my mine was going above and beyond. We will certainly be booking with her again and would recommend her to our friends as well.

Chelsea was great! So responsible and caring. Recently, our kitty started needing 2x daily medications. Chelsea gave him his meds no problem and sent pictures during every visit, which we really appreciated. It was nice coming home to fresh water bowls and happy and medicated cats!! Our lady cat who normally gives us lots of attitude when we get home was happy to see us. We will definitely ask Chelsea to stop in on our kitties again!
