“Achilles is a very high energy kind of dog; you have to be great to handle him! Jovani did exceptionally well with him. What made my heart smile is the way Achilles ran towards his door and also jumped for joy when I dropped him both days! Achilles is a very smart dog; if you are bad with him, he runs away from you but if you are good with him, he'll be all over you any time he sets his eyes on you! Trust me, your dog will have a great time with Jovani! I am so happy Achilles has a second home where he is loved & taken care of! I would have given a 10 star rating if there was one!!!”


“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”

“I’ve used Michelle and fiancé a couple times to watch Angel and definitely will be using again in the the future. Super quick to reply to messages and sends photos and videos throughout the stay. They were attentive to Angels needs and she always comes back happy. Definitely recommend using them if you ever need!”

“Xinhao was amazing. He fit us in last minute while we were traveling. Super responsive with messaging and I loved how he sent us picture updates during the day. If we are ever traveling through the Philly area again we will deff use him.”


About: My love for animals runs deep as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. Your pet does not have to be around my other pets if they are not comfortable as I also have an apartment on my college campus. I have experience sitting animals for my friends pets, as well as volunteering at the animal shelters and rescuing stray animals. Whether your pet needs cuddles or has the zoomies, I can take care of any animal that comes my way. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as I am a college student who has a lot of down time between classes and weekends and would love to use my time efficiently and help care for pets as I have a love and passion for animals and making sure they are protected and safe. In my home I provide meals, walks, cuddles, and anything else needed like nail trimming etc. I allow pets to be wherever they feel comfortable, including on the bed and couch. I am also comfortable and have experience giving medicine, whether it’s ointment, or pills.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”

“Lyly was totally cool with me leaving storm with her all day, I’m a current student and I also work , on my first visit I forgot my leash and she gave me a better one .Lylys service is such a good help I encourage you to book.”

About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside. Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it.
About: I love animals. I just lost my dog after 14 years so I am very experienced. Every overnight stay includes 2 walks per day & photo. Perfect home for those dogs who are unpredictable with other dogs. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR DOGS THAT HAVE ANY POTENTIAL AGGRESSION TOWARDS PEOPLE. I work part time from home so I am always home and available. I do not have any other animals so it is perfect if your dog doesn’t like other animals. I have a backyard with lead (no fence). Your dog will get 2 walks per day. You will receive a daily photo of your loved one.

“We are so thrilled we found Jenny to take care of our baby (Max). In the past we worries about leaving him, now we go on vacation and know our pup in having an awesome vacation! Thank you Jenny and family for being Max's adopted family🥰”

“My boy Appa had a wonderful time with Anthony!! He came home so happy. We'd been taking him to a big corporate doggy daycare and poor Appa was clearly getting overwhelmed by the size of the groups and chaotic environment. Tonight he's acting like his usual self, all playful and full of love. I'm so happy we found Anthony!! Literally the answer to a prayer.”

About: At home we have always had pets and that is why I have experience in their care. I have also taken care of relatives' pets from birth until they have become adults.

Great experience, we traveled from out of state, Matthew and and Leanna provided a comfortable, safe and loving environment for our lilGirl. Top notch communication, lots of updates with photos, our Girl was happy with every pick up and drop off. They truly care and it shows, I couldn't be happier, what a blessing to find them and they will always be our 'go-to' for our girl. Thank you so much for loving our Gigi.

Michael and Donna are absolute sweethearts. They made my pug feel right at home and his dogs were super playful with him as well. They are very caring and loving, so much so that my dog didn't want to leave. Highly recommend Michael for anyone needing doggy services in the South Jersey area.
