“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Heather did an excellent job caring for Colby and Daisy! She was very communicative and took lots of photos of our pets throughout the sitting period. The house was clean and well cared for as well!

About: I am super fun and energetic. I absolutely love to play and take care of animals. I have a certification in Dog Psychology & Training and I'm available for overnight visits! I'm available for any of your daytime needs for your pet. I have owned, and still own, many dogs in the past so I have no problems with breed restrictions and I'm not hesitant with any dog. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and give them the care they deserve, I'm here! Please consider me when you're looking for a person to care care of your little, or big furry friend! Thank you so very much! I have 3 cats of my own and my parents have 2 dogs, so I'm constantly taking care of animals. I also have 5 foster kittens that mix into my daily routine! Pets in my home are well taken care of. They are given all the food and supplements they need! They also always have clean litter and a vacuumed space, so they don't track litter around the house.
“Nicole is a very sweet girl, she came over and spend the day with Thanos. She was very flexible with me and very communicative, she send me pictures through out the and stayed in communication. Nicole has a very calm personality which Thanos really enjoys. I highly recommend Nicole!!”
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.
“Marilyn is the best! She is reliable, and punctual, and our boy just loves her!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I’ve had dogs, cats, and a rabbit of my own. I’ve also professionally been a dog sitter in the past and built a clientele in the Newtown/ Langhorne area. I’ve had many clients across Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery county. I care for your animals in the same way that you would, leaving you with peace of mind on vacations/ trips. Cuddle time is not optional! M, W, F - After 5 is best but can be flexible for morning/ afternoon visits and walks. Tuesday & Thursday - Flexible for visits/ walks. Weekends - Flexible. I take care of your home and pets with consideration and care at all times. I am careful and loving with all animals and tasks needed to take care of them.
About: From the time I was about 3 I knew i wanted to work with animals. I’ve been the pawrent to dogs, cats, birds, guinea pig, rabbit, lizards and more. I absolutely adore animals and know that a pet is so much more than that, they’re family. I have my own pup that passed away tattoo’d on me, so i know babying your baby is a must! I am also a certified dog and cat groomer, so i know how to make a stressful situation calm! I am a dog and cat groomer so I work with animals everyday. My life would be very bland without the love of a wet nose and a furry paw leading the way! I have 3 very friendly cats at my house. I do live in an apartment complex but there’s lots of space outside to go on walks!
About: Hey there! I'm Ella. I'm a veterinary technician who loves animals! I've been working in a veterinary hospital for over 5 years now and so I'm used to handling dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Personally I've had dogs and cats my whole life and can't imagine a day without them. I even have my own exotic pets and am comfortable caring for fish to lizards to guinea pigs or parrots. I'm passionate about what I do and sometimes think I get along better with animals than with humans. I'd love nothing more than to get your furry friend out of the house for a while or keep them company while their people are gone. I'm confident in my animal care, can administer medications, and have veterinarian phone numbers on standby if they were ever needed. I look forward to hearing from you and your pawed companions. I work part time currently so I generally have lot of hours I can visit with my furry friends. I want the time away from their people to be as easy on them as possible. My pets are treated with the same respect I treat my own children. I truly believe a positive attitude has a lot to do with how an animal will respond.

“Mariah treated my dogs like they were here children, her experience with so many different breeds brought me comfort and the attention she gave them is unmatched! I could actually relax on my vacation knowing they were being treated with such love. I received updates with pictures and lots of messages. She did not mind me reaching out constantly and gave my older dogs their meds/treats perfect. My dog has severe anxiety and when I returned he did not seem stressed out at all! Thank you mariah for the comfort of caring for our babies❤️”
