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 ?

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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 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.
