“Sara is the dog whisperer! Absolutely incredible and my two boys loved her. I enjoyed all the pics and videos and I could tell they loved seeing her. It gave me the peace of mind I needed when I was away.”
“Halie was OUTSTANDING! She was punctual and there at the same time every day, which I really appreciated! She was very thorough with her notes and pictures, and with her descriptions of Marcel's behavior and patterns-so I was comfortable that she was taking time with him and responding to his "signals"! She played with him and made sure he got some exercise chasing his laser. He also got his treats every day (What's more important than THAT?!). She even brought in my mail and newspaper to avoid inviting anyone seeing the indications that "no one's home"! I really could not have had a better person to watch my little buddy in my absence, and I HIGHLY recommend Halie-she takes her services seriously, is a pleasure to deal with, and I will request her from now on any time I need to be away for a few days and want to be sure Marcel is in excellent hands!”
“I am so pleased with the quality time that Kathleen spends with Opie. She gives her love and attention that is at the level she gives her own fur babies. She leaves a greatly detailed report at the end of every visit. We ❤️Katie!!”
“I highly recommend Gina. She has been great doing drop-in visits for my dog, Charlie, twice a week. She’s reliable and punctual, which gives me peace of mind. I'm so glad Charlie is in good hands when I am out!”
“Noelle did a great job with my Wheatens! She did drop in visits. She played with them and always made sure their water bottles were full! Will use her again if we need it!”
“We are so happy to have met Emily. We can go on vacation and know our cats are in good hands, which allows us to relax and enjoy our trips. Our cats are usually scared around new people but they love Emily. Thank you so much!”
“Zoe is reliable, sweet, communicative, and kind. I needed help with my babies for a few days and she accepted to take care of them in short notice. She understood my concerns and also paid attention to things that needed adjusting. She went above and beyond. I am very happy I found her and will love to have her watching my babies again.”
About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.
“Hannah was amazing! She was willing to work with my shy dog. She was willing to accommodate the instructions I left and was highly communicative about my dog's behaviors and patterns rather than just doing what the instructions said if a different situation was presenting itself. I got so many good pictures, and Hannah stayed in touch with me, knowing I was anxious and she empathized!”
“Francesca was amazing! Right from the meet/greet she worked to make Drexel feel comfortable with her. The updates and photos really helped to make it easier on us being away. She has a real gift with her clients, dogs and the owners!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up i’ve had its all from dogs/cats to reptiles to birds. I’ve always has at least 3 dogs my entire life. I’ve pet sat for close family and friends from a very young age! Some may say I like animals more than humans haha! My fur baby is my whole world! I’m currently in between jobs and just got a new position and will not be starting for a few weeks. I’m available anytime for the next couple of weeks and then I will readjust my availability when I get my new schedule. Always available on the weekends! I have a sweet loving golden doodle who loves new friends! She is a ball of energy and loves all dogs. I have a good sized backyard and am able to provide a crate if necessary while staying in my home! We have quite the collection of toys and treats!
“Evelyn was on time, responsive and caring. I’m very particular and she did a great job!”
About: I am available during the weeks for boarding, I do currently work a regular 8-5 shift, and come home for an hour lunch break. On my off days I am free and flexible. I love all animals! And I am open to taking care of other pets as well as dogs. Birds, ferrets, chinchillas, fish, reptiles, you name it and I’m definitely ok with it! Give me a try and see how much you’ll love me! I know that your pets will! I am always free early morning, and evenings on any day of the week for drop in visits and house sitting. My off days I am available all day long. My working days are a set schedule, so there’s no surprises. My fur baby at home does well with the schedule and even better when she has a playmate! I live in a safe gated neighborhood, and have a friendly little jack Russell mix that loves other animals! I let house trained pets roam free in the home, and untrained pets I can happily crate for you only when they are left alone! (I.e. I am running a quick errand) And I always have a watch on your fur babies with my indoor security cameras!
“Zoey was so great! She sent us pictures everyday & made sure our little kitty was taken care of. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Teagan will treat your fur baby like it’s her own! She watched our Golden doodle, Tucker, while we were on our cruise! She is very easy to communicate with, sent us daily updates with pictures, and ensured our Tucker boy was well taken care of! She was even able to get him to eat all of his meals while we were away which normally he will not eat much for sitters. We will be using her in the future anytime we need a dog sitter!”

What's more, her schedule is super flexible, which has been a lifesaver for me on more than one occasion already. Corinna seriously knows her stuff. She's incredibly well-educated about pets, which gives me peace of mind knowing my pet is in knowledgeable hands. she's all about accommodating my pet's specific needs too, making sure everything from diet to exercise routines is spot on.”
