About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and have a dog of my own back in my hometown! Since moving to Philly, I’ve really missed having pets around, so Rover is a great way for me to share that love and care with other people’s pets. I have experience caring for pets of family and friends, including feeding, walking, exercising, checking in on them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I give my own! I recently graduated nursing school and I have about two months before I start a full time job. So I am mostly free throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard with no pets in the home. I also am in a very walkable part of Philly so your fur baby will get plenty of steps in.
About: I've got a lot of experience with pet care, especially with dogs. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my dedication to their well-being and ensuring they feel loved and safe. I specialize in training puppies and providing excellent senior care for older dogs. I believe that every dog deserves the best care possible, and I strive to provide that for each furry friend I look after. If you ever need advice on training puppies or caring for senior dogs, feel free to ask me! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize the well-being of my furry friends by incorporating feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime into my daily schedule. Training sessions are also crucial to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. My pets are like family to me, so I always ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve every day. I make sure to provide a safe, trustworthy environment for pets in both my home and my client's home. Depending on the service I offer, I tailor my care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet. This can include feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive. I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.
“Chris looked after our pups again this past weekend. Our dogs can be very anxious but he is always patient and takes his time to make sure they are comfortable. He definitely goes above and beyond & we love that he keeps us updated while we’re away. Thanks Chris!”
About: Like many I began my career in pet care as a pre-teen walking my neighbors dogs and pet sitting when needed. I have worked with dogs, cats, birds, and small pets such as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and even bugs. I'm also open to working with other animals or reptiles. I'm very passionate about proper pet care, which means i'm more than happy to help administer medication, grooming, and of course, play!!! I have a lot of experience with senior animals, as well as animals who need at little extra care due to illness or disability. I'm understanding, patient, and eager to help. I have open availability and am ready to go when you & and your pet(s) are. While my profile says open to same day availability, please try to contact me 24 hrs in advanced. If needed though, I am still very much open to taking a client with shorter notice. Because I will be in your home mostly, your boundaries become mine. I am there to do one job and that is to take care of your pet in the ways you/they need. I am a direct communicator and expect you to be as well, I welcome questions and feedback always
About: I've taken care of pets for my entire life. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to watch and take care of their fur babies. My services include dog walking and drop-in visits. I have a flexible schedule Monday - Friday. Generally, weekdays between 7 am - 4 pm work best for me. Detail-oriented and reliable, I follow every care instruction to the letter, from precise meal portions to specific exercise routines. My goal is to create a calm, comforting environment so your pet feels safe and happy during every visit.
“Meg was so wonderful with our dog Lucy. Lucy tends to be fearful of new people, but Meg approached her so gently and was patient in building Lucy’s trust. Meg was communicative with us and very reliable and punctual. We will only be using Meg from now on!”
“Claire was great! She was flexible with an unusual petsitting request, and was so attentive to my nervous pup. She sent a ton of pics and was really communicative, and I'll definitely be in touch again the next time we travel!”
“Natalie was great with Polly! Polly is a rescue who is fearful of near people and situations. Natalie quickly adapted to her needs and we felt confident leaving Polly in her care. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have tried to help dogs my whole life! I have been around dogs since I was 5, volunteered at shelters, and worked with all kinds of dogs while working at the Petsmart Hotel. If there is an opportunity to work with a dog, I’m taking it. I am a 4th year medical student at Temple and have lived in Philadelphia for the past 3 and a half years. My hours are super flexible since all my classes and interviews are completely remote! Whenever you need my help, I’ll be there! Whatever schedule works for you, works for me. Dogs are the priority whether it is in my home or yours! I try to check in with them, listen to them, and follow their routine. If in someone else’s home I do all of this while respecting the home.

“Joseph was available in a pinch and took great care of my sweet boy even if just for a short visit! Would highly recommend him for your pet care needs!”
About: I have experience walking and spending time with friends’ dogs. I’ve also lived with and cared for cats for several years, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and responsible when caring for animals. I love dogs and enjoy keeping them active and engaged. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and instructions, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring the neighborhood, or simply providing companionship. I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently a PhD student in Biostatistics at Drexel University, so my schedule is flexible during the weekdays. I’m available on weekends and can work with you to find a consistent time that fits your pet’s routine. I’m happy to discuss your preferred schedule, including regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer periods of in-home care. I prefer to care for pets in their own home rather than have pets stay at my home. I’m happy to come to your home and provide attentive, reliable care in a familiar environment where your pet feels comfortable. I will follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of keeping doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and other pet-related items secure.
“Ari is such a lifesaver, life events that don’t allow for pet travel occur without warning and Ari took the best care of my puppy with out hesitation wheni was called away on duty. She is prompt, communicative absolutely the overall best!!”
“Samantha was an amazing friend to my Golden doodle, Milo, while I was away. She took great care of him going above and beyond to make sure he was less anxious,in addition, she was very communicative. I will definitely rebook.”
About: A longtime animal lover, I have 6 years of experience as a dog rescue volunteer and self-contracted pet-sitter. I have fostered and found homes for 7 rescue dogs, have walked dogs, and sat a variety of dogs and cats over my time here in center city Philly. My experiences in fostering rescue pups impressed upon me that every animal is a three dimensional individual with their own particular needs, preferences, and traits. As they are each special in their own way, I never take a one-size-fits-all approach to animal care; I am always mindful to learn from each owner and each pet to best meet their needs and provide comfort. I have vast experience with reactive and anxious dogs, as well as with puppies, potty training, and medical care. Patience and compassion are essential in animal care and I will always invest the time needed to care for your fur baby thoroughly and completely. Your pet will have all of my attention while in my care, as it is important to me that they feel valued and seen. I will never cut corners and am happy to provide as many photos and updates as you’d like. My own dog, a Belgian Malinois mix named Seven (a foster fail!), is great with other dogs so can join for walks or stay at home; whatever you’d prefer. Am available to check in on or walk your pet on weekend afternoons and evenings! I currently work full time during the week so I am limiting my availability to when I know my focus can be entirely on your pet. Conscientious and detail oriented, your comfort and your pet’s comfort are my priority. I am careful to abide by all instructions and will always care for your home and pet as I would my own. I care deeply for your pet’s wellbeing and fulfillment and will ensure that all of their needs are met when in my care.

My pet care experience includes taking care of all the basic needs for a dog and more! I also have experience administering medicine and with different kinds of food. I have experience with varying ages up till 18 years old. I have extensive experience with senior dogs as well. I am available most of the time during the day and night! I know many parks and dogs parks in the Philadelphia area that are safe and fun for all breeds and ages. I love cuddling, walking, playing and all things dogs. I promise to take care of your dog like it was my own. Having a pet myself means that your pet will fit right into our schedule no matter the request! I work from home most of the week allowing full attention on your fur babies. I have a a secure outdoor space for play and/or bathroom time! I am always vigilant and careful to give mine and your pets the appropriate attention they need.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. My family had a farm and we had several dogs. Personally, I have taken care of two dogs and trained them throughout that time. I would be able to take your pet outside every two hours, walk your pet up to three times a day, and make sure that they are fed on time and are looked after. I have a fenced back yard that your pet will have access to. Your pet will have full access to my house. Please let me know if there is anything else that you would like me to consider.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years now and have loved all the fur babies I’ve cared for along the way. I grew up with cats in my childhood home and as an adult have become a dog mom to my amazing fur baby Teddy. He is a 3 year old schnoodle who is very sweet and cuddly. As a pet sitter, every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, playful paws, and endless cuddles. It's more than just a job; it's a journey into the hearts and homes of furry companions and their loving owners. From the moment I step into a new client's home, I'm greeted by excited barks, enthusiastic purrs, and the unmistakable scent of pet love lingering in the air. Each pet sitting experience is unique, presenting its own set of joys and challenges, but one thing remains constant: the unconditional love and trust shared between pets and their humans. I have a very open availability and flexibility at the moment attending college classes online. Availability week days and weekends. Tell me what you need and I will make it work. I have a fenced in secure backyard. I strive for creating a safe and nurturing home for your pet as it is essential for their well-being. Pet-safe space by securing cabinets and eliminating hazards. Designate a cozy area with bedding and toys for downtime. Ensure access to fresh water and engage your pet in regular exercise and mental stimulation. I will treat your fur baby with the utmost importance and care.

Megan is my hero! She stepped up last minute to help me out with Maisey and Marcel. I came home after 12 hour long days in the office to two fed, walked and happy pups! Working long hours away from the dogs is super stressful but Megan was a great communicator and helped me feel at ease knowing the pups were well looked after.
