Top rated Roxborough house sitters
“Deanna was excellent with taking care of our high-energy dogs, and making them feel safe and cared for while we went out for the evening. Our 2-year-old boy has with other sitters nervously awaited our return from the moment we left, but with Deanna, he was calm for most of the night! Deanna was perfectly punctual, and very good with sending updates.”
“Nikki was great with our dog Cocoa…she is a senior dog with medical issues and Nikki took great care of her while we were away for a long weekend. She kept us updated and sent pictures daily. We definitely would use her again.”
“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”
“Kenesha was honestly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She was so responsive and overall just went above and beyond for my two hyper medium sized dogs. No complaints”
“I can’t say enough good things about Stefanie. She was absolutely amazing! Very very communicative, sent lots of pictures everyday, and really cared for our three dogs. Will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a dog sitter :)”
“Dana took wonderful care of my pup Atticus while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time so I knew Atticus was in good hands. Dana and Atticus clicked right away, even though Atticus can sometime be weary of new people. Atticus definitely got lots of exercise and attention while I was away, and I was happy to see him smiling when I got home. I would highly recommend Dana!!!”
“Christina was a great fit for our two senior dogs. Both are reactive and have leash anxiety, so having someone calm and comfortable with energetic dogs was essential. We’d definitely book her again.”
“Anthony took great care of our pup. He was super punctual and understanding of our schedule. He made sure she was fed, properly cared for, and happy. He sent updates. Would definitely rebook.”
About: I have experience raising puppies from a very young age. I have owed and taken care of dogs all my life practically. I have had experienced with multiple different breeds as well. I’m fairly open all week and most weekends I plan on taking this on full time so I don’t really have anything holding me back at the moment. My apartment doesn’t allow pets however I am more then willing to drive and stay in your home to care for your animals when needed.
About: I love all animals big and small. I’ve been dog walking since high school and love a dog play date. While I only have cats in my own home, I can’t wait to become best friends with your fur baby. I’m a hybrid worker with flexibility. I’m happy to help early or late! I’m used to juggling different projects and work well under pressure. Most weekends I spend exploring Philly and love to unwind with my pets. At home, I know that it’s my cats’ house, I’m just lucky to live with them. I’m all about pet comfort, while sticking to routines.
“Amazing! Took excellent care of my pets. Came home to happy pets and a clean house! Pet toys were charged and put up. Using her again 2 more times in March.”
“Ivy cares about all the details of how you take care of your pets to make them feel comfortable and happy. We definitely need her again in the future!! She is sweet, kind and manner. Even my weird tuxedo who was afraid of strangers also loves her.”
“Dana was wonderful with our pup, Mickey! She sent multiple updates/pictures daily, which was so appreciated. We had meds that had to be administered last minute and Dana rolled with the changes no problem. Dana left the house so clean and tidy and stripped the bed. The meet and greet was super helpful, as well!”
“Our dogs loved Faith the minute they met her. She took great care of them while we were away and sent updates to ensure we knew they were happy and safe. Would definitely hire again!”
“I don't know where to begin. Kieran was the BEST!!! I was concerned leaving our Sophie alone for the first time without our other recently passed away boxer sister, but Kieran was so great with her and up to the challenge. She was shy at first as is her nature, but he got her to cuddle with him in a matter of hours. They were watching tv like pals the same day we left! Having broken her back three years ago, Sophie has difficulty with stairs and she takes special medication. Kieran had no problem gladly following her routine. I got pictures everyday of her being her normal self and doing all of the things that she does when I'm there. I felt so comforted knowing that she was just fine. She obviously had found another human that she had bonded with and felt completely at home. Speaking of home, when we returned, the house looked like we had never left!!! He even changed the sheets and washed Sophie's bandana for me!! I know this review isn't doing him justice. If you can imagine your dream dog/house sitter, Kieran is that guy!!”
“Hannah was terrific--warm, reliable, communicative, and neat. She is someone we will use again in the future for sure. I highly recommend her!”
“Katelyn was very nice sociable and very good with Coco Chanel. She sent updates with pics we didnt hsve to worry at all, which was such a relief, as not all sitters are attentive to our pet. We appreciate her help, and you will too!”
“Melissa stayed at our home over Spring Break while we were traveling in Arizona & Texas. She is a unicorn dog sitter! We received photos every day and our Bryce was perfectly happy and content when we arrived home. Melissa also took in our mail and packages, took out our trash on trash day and washed and dried all her linens! Left the house in perfect condition. She was great about also sending us updates every day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Lora was a godsend for both me and Bella! She came through in a pinch and was considerate and professional throughout the experience. I knew Lora would be a great sitter for Bella since Bella liked her immediately when we did our meet and greet. Lora kept me up to date and followed through with everything we discussed. I returned to a well adjusted cat. I will definitely book Lora's services again and recommend her to everybody who requires a reliable and considerate sitter!”
“Ryan was really great. I could tell he was sensitive to Bundy's older age, but also played with him in more energetic moments. Ryan shared updates and photos daily. Bundy was napping with plenty of fresh water when we arrived home, and the house was neat and exactly how we left it. I would recommend Ryan 100%.”

“I highly recommend Abbie as a pet sitter! She has watched my cat numerous times, and each time she has been prompt, followed my directions explicitly, and was very caring towards Josie. Not to mention the great photos she sent! She clearly loves animals, dogs and cats alike, and I trust her to take care of mine whenever I need assistance. She is amazing with my dog as well, who immediately took to her. Abbie has a kind and fun demeanor that all pets immediately gravitate towards.”
