“Brianna did awesome with our dog who has anxiety with new people and was so patient and kind with Penny! Penny seemed relaxed and well taken care of when we came back. Brianna was also very communicative. Highly recommend :)”

“Y’all. YALL. I’m just saying… Sky is FANTASTIC. Soooo personable, friendly, actually took our dog on a walk, and it’s evident that she really cares. Our dog, William, warmed up to Sky SO fast. I hope everyone can book her but I also hope that y’all don’t take my Saturdays ?”


“Laurel was great with our pup Raya and left our home in perfect condition. She was very responsive while we were gone and sent updates and pictures. She also followed all our instructions. We would book Laurel again!”

“Did an amazing job! Updated us daily with pictures and comments of our pets while we were away. Trustworthy and responded promptly to all questions. Have already re booked!”

“Ellen is an outstanding petsitter. Her general care of my babies was wonderful, but she went above and beyond for all three. She was communicative, asked appropriate questions about their behavior, meds, wants, and needs. She handled meds and different feeding needs easily. Ellen was also ever so kind when I realized I had messed up my booking by an entire day and extended the stay for me (time zones 🙄). Most importantly: for the first time in my 20 years of travel, I had an animal fall ill (no fault of Ellen’s, he’s a cat with herpes that flared up in his little eye). She carefully monitored the situation and when his symptoms worsened a bit, she took him in for evaluation at my preferred vet. I know it must have been exhausting for her, but she genuinely handled this situation like he was her own cat. This could have been an immensely stressful situation for us both, but Ellen handled it with such compassion and kindness that I felt completely confident and experienced no distress. Given how strongly I love my pets, and how I worry for them, this was a huge surprise and relief for me.”

“Courtney has house sit with my 2 fur babies. They love her very much! She plays with them gives them much love. I come home to 2 happy healthy babies. My one dog is a senior with a heart condition and it’s like I never left. I 100% recommend her for any pet services.”

“Stefan took amazing care of both our pup and our home. He is incredibly clean and tidy and sends many photos and updates. He even watered our plants and put our trash out. I felt so at ease on our trip knowing he was caring for things!”

“Alexandra was great!! Very responsive and sent good updates of our pup. She took great care of her and kept our house very clean while she was here. Would highly recommend.”


“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”

“Stella had an extended stay with our pup and she was so wonderful at making sure our baby felt comfortable while we were gone. It was our first time being away so we were understandably anxious about how Philomena would do but Stella sent us loads of updates, photos and videos. Our pup had a wonderful staycation all thanks to her!!!”


“Nathan was amazing. He was super communicative and sent so many photos of the dogs, which we loved! We look forward to working with him in the future!”

“Makaylah was great for Marcus. I really appreciated that she stuck to his puppy routine while I was gone so that he right away felt comfortable and safe with her. Even the staff in the front office of my building remarked how happy Marcus looked whenever they saw her coming in and out of the building with him on walks. She also went the extra mile and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. I will definitely request her for Marcus again!”

“Hope did a great job taking care of our dog! She was extremely communicative, friendly and professional. She sent lots of pictures and it looks like they had a great time together!”

“Rebecca was phenomenal and made our vacation very relaxing. We received lots of pictures and updates which I greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using Rebecca again.”

“Katrina is the best! She was so patient and flexible with my changing trip plans, and I couldn't be for grateful. Despite my stressful trip plans, I was so comforted knowing she had things covered for Abby. Abby can't wait to see Katrina again soon!!”

“Fantastic stay as always! Finn LOVES Dan, who treats him like family & this is a major win for us too since we are able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. We love receiving so many sweet updates and photos & returning home to a happy pup!”

About: As a dedicated wildlife and pet caretaker with a passion for understanding and protecting animal habitats, I have spent years immersed in the wonders of the natural world. As a pet owner for over six years, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the unique bonds that form between humans and animals, whether in our homes or in the wild. Currently, I take care of my beloved rescue Siberian husky Niko. As well I spend some of my free time looking after my friend’s dogs and cats. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for pets' minds and bodies. Currently I’m a student at Drexel university and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free Thursday-Sunday mostly in the mornings to late afternoons. Depending on the day I can also do evenings It is important to that pets are comfortable and feel safe all conditions. I make it a rule of thumb to keep dogs on leash during public walks and around other pets. If there is a fenced in area I will make it a priority to check and see if the area is properly supervised and secure for your pet. On regular walks having fun is always number 1. If your pet wants to chill inside and needs cuddles, or wants to take an extra adventure i’m always down.
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Philadelphia is $55

Abha did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She was communicative, kind, and attentive. I got updates throughout the day and it was clear my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She went above and beyond taking my dog on adventures, walks, and tiring her out :)

BEST PET SITTER EVER! We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Jovelle! She looked after our three pets: Our two large dogs and a cat and handled everything with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Our care instructions contained a lot of specific routines, from precise feeding supplements and morning medications to scheduled rooftop potty breaks and a special nighttime barstool setup to keep our anxious dog safe, comfortable, and out of trouble!. Jovelle executed every single detail flawlessly without a single hitch. Her communication throughout the stay was perfect. She sent regular photo updates that gave us total peace of mind and proved our pets weren't just well cared for, but were having a fantastic time with her! To top it off, we came home to a clean and quiet apartment. Jovelle treated our home and our fur babies as if they were her own. We would absolutely, 100% recommend Jovelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and amazing pet sitter!

Couldn’t be happier. Worked with me despite plans changing a few times. Even went the extra mile to help out when my chicken coop lost power while I was out of town. Followed directions to a T. Would give more stars if I could. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Erin was spectacular. She was easy to communicate with, and sent lots of daily photos with our pup. She worked around our older dogs energy levels to get her exercise, and took great care of her. We felt a great sense of safety while traveling knowing that our dog was in good hands, and we’ll absolutely be working with Erin again.

I almost dont want to leave this review because Rhonda was so incredible and then she wont be available for me anymore because everyone will want to use her😂 Rhonda was amazing she’s kind responsible attentive such a great communicater and did everything I asked her to do my pups were so happy and content when I got home it was so obvious that they were well loved I can’t say enough about her my house was also the exact way I left it I’m very grateful

I cannot thank Susan enough for her help! She jumped in last minute to care for our needy boys. With patience (and magic?) she got our shy guy out of hiding to not only eat during our absence, but to accept pets and playtime. She also gave our outgoing guy all the snuggles and attention he craves. Susan’s thorough updates and pics were crucial in putting this anxious cat mom’s mind at ease. Will 100% book with Susan again.
