We hired Emily to watch our 2 fur babies, a cavapoo and a shihpoo. Both of them are like our children. Emily watched our little guys in our house for 2 weeks while we went on vacation out of the country. She is polite, considerate, and most importantly trustworthy. She left our house in the same condition as we gave it to her. She kept us updated on our babies' status via photos and texts through Whatsapp. Our boys we well cared for and it was a relief having Emily stay in our home so our boys would be as comfortable as possible during our absence. We highly recommend hiring Emily as a dog sitter if you ever need one, we will.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, developing a deep passion for their care. Since a young age, I’ve walked countless dogs for family members, gaining valuable experience handling different breeds and temperaments and currently working walking dogs and cats of types of breeds on the platform Wag! My love for animals goes beyond just dogs and cats—I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big and small. Whether it’s playful puppies, curious cats, birds, small mammals, or even reptiles, I ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m young, fit, and full of energy, always ready to provide the best care, whether it’s running with a high-energy dog, socializing with a shy pet, or tending to the unique needs of different animals.You can also find me over at WAG!CAREGIVER where I have a 94% DIRECT REQUEST ACCEPTANCE RATE AND A 5.0 STAR REVIEW SERVICE WITH MULTIPLE REVIEWS AND 87 completed services. I’m available for boarding, sittings, walks, etc all several days a week and have a flexible schedule. As a full-time college student-athlete, I balance my studies with part-time work through Uber and Grubhub. However, with many of my classes being online, I’m home often and able to provide plenty of attention and care to pets. Whether it’s boarding, exercise, or playtime, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I live in a spacious home with my mom, featuring a large fenced yard for pets to play safely. My friendly but shy miniature Dachshund enjoys company once he warms up. He’s harmless, but he might “poop his pants” at the sight of anyone new or any new dogs!😂 My girlfriend visits often, adding to the welcoming environment. With great walking routes nearby, I ensure plenty of exercise, playtime, and a cozy, loving space for every pet in my care.

Marilyn was wonderful with our dogs. They warmed up to her right away and they got along great together. When I asked her to come a bit sooner than originally planned, she immediately agreed saying it wouldn’t be an issue. We went over everything I had written down and all went well

Troy and Shalah are true animal lovers and are so thoughtful to the needs of the fur baby parents as well! They recently watched my baby Stumpy and kept me updated with texts and so many pictures! I had my first dog sitter cancel and they were so responsive when I reached out to them! I am happy it worked out this way as they are wonderful! Don't hesitate to book them! You won't be disappointed

It was such a relief having Hailey watch our dog while we were away. She took such good care of him, especially considering caring for his allergies can be a bit of a daunting task. Not only was he well cared for but he was definitely given a lot of love by her while we were away. Which also means the world to us. We would recommend her to anyone!

About: I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is my strong attention to detail and genuine love for animals. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’m experienced with all ages, including basic training reinforcement and medication administration. I’m especially patient with pets who need extra reassurance, structure, or a calm environment. My focus is always on safety, consistency, and plenty of affection, ensuring every pet feels secure, happy, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾✨ Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work at a doggy daycare, where caring for animals is already a big part of my life. My schedule allows me to plan visits, drop-ins, or stays with reliability and consistency. I’m used to structured feeding times, play sessions, cleaning routines, and monitoring behavior throughout the day. Because I’m constantly surrounded by animals, providing attentive, dependable care isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s part of my everyday lifestyle. 🐾✨ Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions to keep their environment consistent and stress-free. In my client’s home, I respect the space, keep everything clean, and ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer caring for pets in my client’s home because I have a senior dog at home, and I want to maintain a calm, stable environment for them. Providing care in your pet’s familiar space also helps reduce stress and keeps their routine uninterrupted.

About: I actually have a lot of experience taking care of pets. When I was a child, I had three parrots and two dogs. I often spent time with my grandmother, who had three dogs, four cats, more than 30 rabbits and an aquarium with fish. When I was 15, I started taking care of the pets of friends who went on vacation. Now I am looking for new clients to take care of their pets, so that I can become their new friend. I am currently looking for a job so I have a lot of free time and the opportunity to take care of your pets. I can take care of your dog both on weekdays and on weekends or holidays. My home is not pet friendly so I will be happy to spend time with your pets in your home. I understand the importance of the safety of your pet and other people, so I prefer walks on a leash and with a muzzle if necessary. After the walk, I consider it necessary to wash your pet's paws to keep your home clean.

Jimi was a terrific house sitter for my two dogs when I had to go out of town for several days. He administered medication to my 1 dog day and night, fed them according their demanding food guidelines, took them on walks, played with them and sent lots of pictures and texts. I couldn't believe when I got home and my house was vacuumed and kitchen sparkling clean. I would definitely recommend him for your fur babies!!

About: My name is Carolyn! I am a professional dog walker and trainer in Bucks County Pennsylvania. My dedication in life is to strengthen the bond between pets and their people through patience, understanding and positive training. It is my belief that with consistent, rich education, training and exercise, less dogs will end up in shelters.  I have been actively training and walking dogs for over 15 years. Being very hands on, several dog training apprenticeships, and well as an intensive 4-day Puppy socialization certification program. I'm very well versed in pack management skills (Walk and Train). The method I use is mystery because of the differences of the dogs so first and foremost, positive/reward based training practices. My education continues to grow as I seek out new information on how to better understand the canines that live in our homes as family members. My one true passion in this world is training and advocating for our canine companions! I’m very flexible for my clients, I love going beyond for my furever families. Dogs are my life, sitting, caring, training. You won’t be disappointed! I would care for your pet in your home. I can only board dogs 25lbs or less. That’s temporary, I’m opening up a facility soon

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. From loyal dogs and curious cats to playful ferrets, talkative birds, and even snakes — I’ve done it all and truly enjoy the unique personality every animal brings. I’ve owned and cared for large breeds, including a Cane Corso, and I currently live with two wonderful dogs: a special needs Labrador who requires extra attention and care, and a sweet (and slightly quirky) pit bull. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to any pet's needs, whether they require medical support, behavioral understanding, or just some extra cuddles. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, structured playtime, or special accommodations, I’m confident in my ability to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, because to me they are. I currently work full time during the week at night time but have availability from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. mon-fri. Weekends are usually pretty open. I have a fenced in yard and have have the availability to be able to provide a safe environment for your pet. As well as plenty of time to give attention

Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.
