“Bri was great to work with, as always! Our cat was stressed out from us being away, but Bri was able to get everything done in her visits and went the extra mile to help put our cat at ease.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Maryann! She took excellent care of our round boy, Theo, while we were on vacation for 10 days. We loved reading her messages and viewing photos from each drop-in visit. It was clear that she cared for him as if he was her own pet, and we are so thankful! We will certainly be booking with her again in the future.”
“Sarah did a great job with my cat, Pippa, while I was away this week. I received photos and a message every day and always felt that Pippa was in good hands. Would definitely rebook for future visits!”
“We love Tatiana!! We felt so comfortable heading out of town knowing our cats were really taken care of. She’s very responsive and attentive to details which kept our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away.”
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
“Elena was so wonderful to work with! She took great care of our cats and they were so happy when we came home. Her communication was excellent and she gave us lots of updates throughout.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover! I grew up with big dogs and I recently within the last few years adopted cats and fell completely in love. I have a strong connection to animals and good with their boundaries to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also been pet sitting since I was in high school. I’m a part time artist, (I paint pet portraits!) part time operational manager for another artist business which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I often have availability on a moments notice. I treat my cats like babies so you can expect me to do the same for your animals. If your pet needs me to sing them a little silly song while I make their dinner I will do it. I have a very calming presence animals tend to be drawn to. I respect their boundaries and allow them to feel safe with me before playing
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for my own pets throughout my life and have hands-on experience as both a foster caregiver and dog trainer with service dogs in training. These experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, needs, and behaviors while providing patience, consistency, and plenty of love. My passion for animals also led me to earn a degree in Ecology, where I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world and the animals we share it with. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or simply some extra attention, I’m dedicated to treating them like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to care for your best friend! I also have a dog at home so I do need to care for him but other than that I’m available weekdays and weekends! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed while their owners are away. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets have fresh water and a comfortable space, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Ashely was great!! She took great care of our three cats who all have big personalities. She sent lots of pics while we were away and they all looked very happy to have playtime and pets. We came home to happy cats! We’ll definitely book her again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover, pet owner, & outdoor enthusiast currently in PA school. I would love to make your pets my study buddies for a weekend!! I am an avid hiker (I recently hiked the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu!) and would love your dog to be my buddy on nearby trails—though I love neighborhood walks, too! I grew up with basset hounds and now have 2 poodle mixes (a cockapoo and Australian labradoodle), so I have experience across the spectrum from slow sniffers to speedy sprinters. I have trained puppies in basic commands, obedience, and toilet training and have experience in AKC dog showing with cairn terriers and basset hounds. Because of my medical experience, I feel confident administering medications (including injections) if needed. Fun fact: I also have 2 pet rabbits, a lionhead named Chester & a holland lop named Ebie and I absolutely LOVE to take care of bunnies! Please feel free to request bunny care of all kinds 🐰 Walking is part of my daily routine and I would love to bring a furry friend along with me! I am in clinical rotations at the moment, so my schedule varies month to month. While I do not care for pets in my own home, I am highly sensitive to respecting the security, privacy, and safety of your home and pets.
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
“Alexis is a very dependable and caring sitter for our cat Charlie. We really appreciate her effort to play with, feed and spend her time with Charlie when we are away.”
About: I love pets. I had 4 dogs at one point of all sizes & breeds. I currently have 3 dogs and a cat. One husky (Mila) and 2 little ones (Minnie & Milo), my black cat. Mr. Kitty. I’ve been told I get along with pets who aren’t even good with other people. I believe good energy translates to animals ♥️♥️ I am off a lot during the day. My day typically looks like going to the dog park every morning. I am a few minutes from slater park. Sometimes I go on small hike trails with my dogs as well. I will care for your pet as I do care for mine. I truly have a love for animals. If I had owned my own home, I’d have a few more. I will also respect any boundaries you have towards your pet and home.
About: I have professional dog caring experience, I am certified in pet first aid, and I work for a pet service company. I have experience with big dogs and cats, and also will administering oral medications and insulin injections. I grew up with various pets, so I can handle different types of animals. I love animals, and I will be more than happy to take care of your fur baby. I work a full time job in the morning so I have time in the evenings and weekends for visits, cuddles, feedings and dog walking. I am very attentive when walking dogs and am careful about what they do on the walk. I also always double check that the pet has everything they need before I leave the visit.
“Super reliable and responsive. Goes above and beyond what’s expected during visits and spent extra time with my pet. She leaves very detailed report cards and lots of adorable photos. Follows instructions very well, will definitely book again”
“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”
“I booked last minute randomly through the app. I felt at ease going away. Aly will be my first choice next time! So communicative, flexible, helpful, went above and beyond. We really appreciate you!”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

Thank you so much for your kindness and care you provided for Winston while I was away. It provided me w much relief knowing he was in such great care in my absence. I would certainly highly recommend your care particularly to geriatric cats that can be very finicky.
Responsive and responsible! Had some last-minute cat sitting needs and was so relieved to get connected to Stephanie. Leaving town was way less stressful than expected—she was unfazed by our cats’ medical needs and broad spectrum of behavioral idiosyncrasies. Clearly loves animals and brought that to her care of our kitties. Great communicator, both when things go well or when something isn’t working as expected. Highly recommend!
Briana was an absolutely FABULOUS sitter for our two adult cats! Her daily check-ins were always on time, and she went above and beyond during each visit, ensuring our cats had ample playtime and making sure we knew they ate. I am so grateful for her kindness and attentiveness she had towards our pets, and I will definitely book her for our future vacations.
Shawn was great, making drop in visits for our two cats over several days. We came home to everything spotlessly clean, feeding dishes washed and litter boxes scooped. She communicated well and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet. I highly recommend Shawn!
Isabelle was incredibly trustworthy. Did everything I requested and more. Lots of cute pictures of my cat showing how comfortable and content she made my senior lady feel. Communication was great, came on time. Isabelle is my go to cat sitter from now on. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you!
I travel for work and Kristine is my go-to to watch my 10 year old rag doll cat who can be pretty high maintenance at times (kitty ibs). Kristine is quite literally the best and I know that whatever happens Kristine can handle it and keep me posted in a timely manner. You’d be a silly goober to not book with them!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
