Top rated South Philadelphia doggy day care sitters

“Kelly has been the absolute best petsitter for my dog, Roo! She's caring, attentive, and sends the best updates/photos. Roo and Scoots have become great friends! Kelly is so flexible and has been available for early mornings and late nights with my hectic work schedule. Roo has separation anxiety and Kelly is very understanding of her needs. We're unfortunately leaving Philly and wish we could take Kelly and Scoots with us, we highly recommend!”



“I was really nervous about leaving my 6 pound chihuahua with a new person while I went to work during the day. With 3 of 4 legs not working, and a weak bladder, Pinky is quite fragile. Her stay with Madeline was wonderful. She coaxed her to eat, separated her from all dogs except her little terrier, and was forgiving of Pinky’s incontinence. While I hope tomorrow at Pinky’s neurologist visit we can get some answers and Pinky will be strong enough to be left alone after the holidays, if we need daycare again we will definitely be back.”


“Nichole is such a doll baby and my Roddy loves her so much. She sends me text during the days and makes me feel so comfortable at work. Definitely my go to sitter.”


“Samantha was awesome and kept communication with me constantly which made me feel more at ease. I definitely plan on rebooking with Samantha in the future.”


“We were in town for a wedding with various activities. Georgilin and Julian were very flexible with our schedule and kind and caring to our tiny pup. We will call on them again.”

“I had a great first day experience with Brigitte, Alicia, and Andrew. Melody went right in and had a wonderful time with the humans. She also warmed up quickly to the other dogs.

“I had to get Claudia on the spur of the moment because of two emergencies I had in my life. She live close to me and I did not know her other than Rover.com. She was so good with my baby. She took care of them like it was their own dog. He loved her and loved being with her. And she’s very good with animals. She had more knowledge than I did since this is my first time. I recommend anyone who needs a sitter or help with their dog to use Claudia. I will when I need her again.❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: Since I was a child, I grew up in a household where we rescued animals. My mother rescued hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and cats, and it surprised no one I followed in her footsteps. Aside from always being a fur-mom myself, I’ve fostered animals on my own accord, with personal finances, and found my rescues their forever homes. I’ve also partnered with a friend, who does run an actual rescue, to perform background checks on applicants. She’s allowed me to use her resources, where I’ve been able to receive affordable veterinary care for my foster visits. I’ve performed CPR on animals, administered medicine orally, and bottle fed newborn puppies and kittens. I’ve done the dirty work, too, where I’ve provided flea baths, removed ticks, and treated “diaper rash”. There’s actually photos I have, where I’m covered in Desitin rash cream. Honestly? There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to save an animal. Or, to provide an animal love and comfort. I’m permanently working from home, so I have the ability to stay with your furry child all day and care for them. This includes lounging in the house, and I also have my backyard where we can all stretch our legs and play. I am a firm believer in safety first. I treat all animals as if they’re my own children, and I always consider their safety to be paramount. In my own home, I have a pet-friendly setup. This means, I don’t have plants that would be toxic to animals, and I ensure that all food is stored properly and away. There are no sharp objects in my house. When I’m sitting a cat or dog, I’m also always around to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous. I make sure to use pet safe cleaning products. When I’m house sitting, I respect the rules of someone else’s home, and I ensure that I’m careful when entering and exiting any home (mine or someone else’s) so that no animals escapes. Before sitting for an animal in someone’s home, I have a lengthy conversation with them to go over expectations and the safety rules of the house. I follow these rules like they are my own. I will crate a dog if the pet parent requires it— and dogs and cats are allowed to roam freely in my home (under my watchful eye) if a crate isn’t needed. I will crate as requested.
