Pet Sitting Riverfront

About: been caring for dogs since I was around 9, so taking care of pets has always been a big part of my life! I had my own German Shepherd girl who I loved and cared for throughout her life, and I currently have three cats and my own dog. I also regularly help take care of my best friends Snorkie mix and my aunt’s Husky. I genuinely love getting to know every pet’s personality, whether they’re super playful, a total couch potato, or need a little extra patience. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I love to walk pets and have been since I was younger. As someone with too much energy for my own good, it helps me burn some in a way that keeps me just as happy. Im a freshman in college, but I frequent the city area daily. I’m fully available on the weekends and available after three on Mon, Wed, and Fri, and Tues,Thurs after 5! Every day i’m available early morning til 8:30! Enjoy your weekends and days out with a sitter like me. I’m patient when it comes to animals as they are not human and are more prone to any unexpected behavior and reaction. I’ve saved a couple dogs that others would call violent, but just needed a different angle of care that I was able to provide. I am physically fit and able to defend your pet as well as myself in case of any unfortunate event.

“Ari is very attentive and caring of my pet. She kept me updated on any changes or how Tyrone was behaving. I appreciated her patience as I asked a lot of questions. As a new pet owner it can be nerve wracking to leave your cat. But Ari was attentive and accommodated my asks nicely. Definitely would recommend her!”

“We highly recommend Ellen for all your animal care needs! She was so responsive from the start - and did an excellent job looking after our older dog Ella while we were out of town. We absolutely hope to work with her again in the future if she is available!”

About: Currently, I'm a teacher who finds joy in getting to pet sit! Working with high school students is great, but I'm more excited to get to take care of your dog!! (Shh! Don't tell my students I said that...) Anyone who knows me, knows I'm the type to wave and say hi to every dog I pass on the street and every cat I see in a window! :-) I'm experienced with both cat and dog care, comfortable with various breeds, personalities, and ages. Throughout high school and college, I often volunteered to watch friends' and families' dogs/cats when they went away on vacation. Additionally, I've been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I started my teaching career a few years ago. I've always loved getting to step in and keep the pets cared for and entertained, while their owner was somewhere else. Overall, I can provide dependable and enthusiastic pet sitting, ensuring your beloved pets are happy and safe while you're away. I am available to provide your pet with love and attention, whether that be check ins, maintenance/feeding, and/or walks and exercise. I have weekday and weekend availability. With my teaching schedule, I am available for early morning, as well as early afternoon - late evening during the week. My weekends are very flexible. I am happy to work with your specific schedule and unique needs! Also, I often have break periods or holiday days off from school, which gives me additional availability, especially during peak times when you may have travel plans. School year availability Monday-Friday: before 7:30am and after 2:30pm. If I were to I visit your home to care for your pet or take them on walks, I would make sure to follow all instructions carefully, in order to keep a safe, comfortable environment and maintain your pet’s routine. I aim to stay attentive to your pet’s needs, keeping them secure during walks, offering attention and love to keep them happy, and communicating clearly with you throughout. Pets are our best friends, so I will treat your pet as such!

“Pat was wonderful with Oliver! It’s our first time using Rover, and we were very impressed with the amount of time and attention that Pat gave to Oliver over the week.”

About: I am a recent graduate from Swarthmore College. I just moved to Philadelphia and working hybrid so it gives me a lot of time to walk dogs. Back at Swarthmore I started a dog walking business during my 4 years and would love to continue walking dogs here! I have work from 9:30-4pm in Midtown so I’m available before and after. I also am hybrid so multiple days a week I’ll be working from home and more flexibility. Of course if I were to be in your house due to pet sitting I would make sure to leave the house exactly as it was when I arrived. I’ve had dogs all my life and know the care that they need and deserve. I’ve also taken care of dogs in their own houses and feel comfortable making a safe environment for them and make sure they don’t miss their owners too much!

“This was my first service with Reno, and, as with his other reviews, must simply be referred to as superb. My kitty went right up to him at the pre-care visit, and did so well with eating, litterbox, and play under Reno’s care that I could not be more grateful. I definitely will use Reno again!”

“Pamela was highly responsive, so friendly, and excellent with my puppy. This was my first rover experience, and I will definitely book her again!”

David K.

“Angela was amazing as always! We have used her a few times now and she is by far our favorite sitter for our two cats. Having her watch the girls really put our mind at ease while we were away. We would highly recommend her to everyone!”

About: I was very fortunate to grow up around an abundance of pets- be it dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or even reptiles. Because of this, I have years of animal handling experience of all kinds, and have even raised puppies. I am an avid walker averaging around 15 miles a day for fun, so if your little guy needs walking, I would love to help out. I will be working a full-time in-person job until July 31st, but am available weekends and evenings. Starting in August, I will be working remote which will allow me a lot more flexibility with watching your baby! Your home is your rules, and we will abide by it. That means if there are no animals allowed on the furniture, we will do just that. I can provide walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and I can play with your animals. If more is needed, we can absolutely talk about that and I would love to help!

“Brittney was great! She was very friendly and responsive, took great care of my kitty cat and was able to flex an extra day when I hit a travel snag. Highly recommend!”

“Allison has done 2 x drop in visits for my two Labs. She is always really responsive and has taken great care of Winnie and Harlow! Winnie had a leg injury but Allison had no problem with putting on a boot to protect her bandages when she went outside. I would recommend Allison!”

Laura O.

“I have a very shy cat and John went above and beyond to make sure he was properly taken care of. He responds quickly and takes great care to follow instructions. He’s also very experienced with this, so you can trust that he knows what to do in a pinch. Thanks so much for all of your help!!!!”

Vivek K.

“Lizzie was wonderful! She gave me detailed notes each visit, including videos and I loved how quickly she was able to win my cat over. I could tell he enjoyed her visits a bunch. I definitely recommend Lizzie and will be using her services again!”

Samantha M.

“We appreciate Mary’s timeliness and care for our dogs. She stayed a little extra time to walk both dogs as storms delayed the walks. Much appreciated coming home to the dogs being well cared for!”

Shari & John H.

“We had a great experience with Cali -- she was very communicative, proactive with reaching out prior to her visit, and most of all, she really cared for our little ones. TYSM Cali!”

Connie S.

“Ben did an awesome job of taking care of my sweet pup while I was at work. He provided informative updates and photos to let me know the visit went well! Thanks Ben!!”

Laura P.

“Ren is great with my cats! She always takes good care of them, accomodates all their weird eating preferences, and is very communicative with me and sends lots of cute pics :) definitely highly recommend for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!”

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.
