She kept spot for 3 nights and gave consistent updates and photos about my dog, she was very attentive and caring, didn’t even leave out the cuddles/snuggles. She was also very detail oriented and followed instructions given. I highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

About: I am a dog owner who just moved to Philly. My puppy is 5 years old and I have had her since she was 12 weeks old, so I know how to take care (walk, bathe, feed, potty breaks, identify aggressive dogs to stay away etc.) and basic train a puppy well. I am passionate about learning how to keep dogs happy and healthy; what they want is very simple - to be with their pack, exercise, eat, and sleep well. I cannot be more happy when they are running around, playing with dog friends (if they are up to it), and munching on yummy food! I have also taken care of other small and big adult dogs (shih tzu, spitz, husky, corgi) since I was 16 for my family and my neighbors. I have walked them, brushed them, bathed them. I am happy to walk dogs when I walk my own puppy in the morning or in the evening. My schedule is relatively flexible since I am home and free most of the time especially on week days. I often walk dogs at Rittenhouse Square. I can readily walk my dog and yours any time. My residence is a one-bedroom apartment, so it would be plenty of space for small to medium dogs. I am also only a few blocks away from an animal hospital if any unfortunate emergencies occur. I am a student at UPenn and my partner works in a tech job, so at least one of us will work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk dogs 2-3 times every day, usually once in the morning and twice in the evening. I have a 5-year-old Pomsky (small-medium sized) to keep your dog company! She is super friendly, calm, and well-trained, and I’m sure they will have a good time together! :)

“Jennifer was awesome and made Lola feel right at home!! She kept me updated with pics too!”

Savannah L.

“Very responsive with sharing of puppy photos and videos that was thoughtful and reassuring. The best part was their cavapoo Gau who played so nicely with puppy. We passed by their place a day after finishing our puppy’s first stay with them, and our puppy really wanted to go back there to play with Gau! Will definitely use them again.”

“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Mooney had a wonderful stay with John. We got frequent updates as always and mooney got to spend healthy supervised playtime with John’s wonderful dog Parker, which was great for Mooney’s socialization. John kept us posted on Mooney’s behavior (good and bad both) and we felt he was safe and happy the whole time. Thanks again John.”
