“Brianna is the best! I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. And they are excited to see her. What better way does a dog acknowledge their love for someone. And the photos and reports definitely make me feel more at ease. Until the next time!”

“Emily was wonderful! She is very communicative and we loved the pictures of our cats while away on vacation, we really missed them and the pictures made us feel better. She took great care of our babies while we were on vacation. We’re very appreciative and will definitely use her services in the future!”

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 is just great, we are always so calm when she cares for our cat! You know she is going to be on time and really caring with your furry family member. Our absolute go-to pet sitter for every time we are away.”

“It was my first time using rover and I was very happy with it. Kathryn was great with my dog with the drop ins and it helped me with my anxiety about leaving my dog. I would definitely use her in the future.”

“Amber was such a delight! Kind and communicative and took great care of my cats over Christmas. She provided excellent updates and pics every day. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”

Emily S.

“Julie was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She sent updates with every visit and made it a point to spend some time with him making sure he was comfortable with a new person in his space. Highly recommend”

About: I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a Cavachon for two years, which gave me hands-on experience with the daily ups and downs of dog parenthood—feeding, training, walks, and lots of playtime. Due to personal reasons, the pup now lives with my former partner, but I truly cherish that time and all the lessons it taught me about patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always dreamed of owning another dog of my own again soon, but in the meantime, I’m grateful for the opportunity to care for yours. I know how hard it is for pet parents to leave their pups at home, and I can never resist those puppy eyes either. That’s why I promise to give your dog the love, comfort, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. I’m a recent college graduate from Drexel University and currently searching for a full-time role, which gives me extra flexibility in my schedule. Caring for dogs is not just a side hustle for me—it’s a passion. I have plenty of time during weekdays and on weekends to devote my full attention to your pup, making sure they get the love, playtime, and exercise they deserve. Drop-in visit might works the best for me:) Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I live in a safe environment and can adjust easily to your pup’s needs—whether that means crate training, sticking to their feeding schedule, or providing lots of play and snuggles. Having cared for a Cavachon myself, I understand the ups and downs of pet parenting, and I know how important it is for you to feel at ease while away. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, secure, and happy until you’re back home.

About: I have two puppies of my own, that I love and adore. I have 3 years experience in healthcare, and love to take care of people and animals :) I am working part time at a hospital. My schedule varies from week to week, but I am as flexible as possible. Reach out to me and we can make something work :) I have two dogs so I can not offer my own house, but am available to come and stay at your house/ stop by for however long you need me to.

About: Hello there! My name is Shlomo. Our family of six live in NE Philadelphia. We love all animals. We have rescued a dog Stanley. He is labrador mix. He is best dog we ever had. Not aggressive and very polite to any size of dog. We will take care of your dog like we care with our own animals. Our 4 kids love to play with all kinds of animals. We have a big fenced yard and there's lots of room to play fetch. Also we have a field outside of our property, so we can walk with your dog as well in the field. And of course, many pictures and videos of your furry companion will be sent! We have lots of love to give your pet and taking them on fun walks. If you have any other kinds of questions, feel free to contact me. Our kids are home schooling, so the can play a lot with your fur buddy! We are doing this around 4 years, so we have a big experience. We have fenced yard, where your dog will exercise, run and play with one of us. For so many years of our experience we never had any issue.

“Rosabella was great with Loki. She definitely became his friend. She was consistent in her visits time and very thorough. She spent a lot of time giving him attention and love. I highly recommend her!”

“Julie is a cat whisperer! She got our scaredy-cat Cal to come to her and accept treats out of her hand after only a few days. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

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 have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.

“Awesome service.”

“From the first visit to the last set of photos, Tina has been absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’d been away from the cats for more than two days, so I was a bit worried. The first pictures Tina sent were her and the cats playing/nuzzling. I was able to rest easy, knowing that I’d get my daily pictures, and that the kitties were happy. I will be using her again next time I go on vacation.”

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

About: Just moved into a bigger space for more dogs to roam and lounge around. If you're looking for a place where your pup can stay while you're working, we can definitely do daycare! If you're looking to go on vacation and rather have your pup stay with a family of dog lovers instead of a kennel in a cage, my kids would certainly love to play with your pup in our backyard! I'm also walking distance to a park where Rush and I go to run, your pup can join us too! I can also head your way to walk and feed your pup too. My main goal is for your pup to feel as comfy as possible while you're away, whether its for 15 minutes, a couple hours, days, or even weeks! I work from home, my wife and I work with pets together to make sure they're always around with someone in our home. We also make sure to follow each dogs daily routine and diet. I have a fenced yard that was installed in my home 2 years ago. We are always monitoring the dogs outside with them, each dog is different in their behavior so we try to play with them or give them their space. When inside our home we only let them roam in our kitchen and living room space, unless they need to be crated.

“I cannot say enough great things about Emily! This was our first time booking with her and everything was seamless. She came for a meet and greet with our crew about a month ahead, and we communicated a few days before her sitting. Pictures and notes were posted daily. Even when I occasionally didn’t have cell service, no worries. Emily treated our pets like family, which allowed us to relax 😎”
