“Abbey is amazing!! She checked in on our kitty every day during a 9 trip, and we felt so at ease knowing she was taking such good care of our home and cat. She had incredible communication while we were away and went above and beyond for our cat. She came ahead of time to meet us, often stayed longer with our kitty than we had booked, sent tons of pics, and even went out to buy litter when it ran out while we were away. I cannot reccomend her highly enough- thank you!”
“I’ve never left my 2 cats for more than a long weekend. They’re like my babies. As soon as I met Alexandra, I knew that she would take good care of them over my 2-week vacation. Not only did she follow my instructions and took care of their basic needs, she played with them and snuggled them too. One of my boys is wary of new people, but I quickly received pics of her playing with him and getting pets! I was so impressed. She truly treated me and my boys like family. I also had a flight cancellation, and she checked in on them when my plans changed. I’ll absolutely hire her again and have recommended her to all my local friends!”
“Kadyona was dependable and easy to communicate with. She took care of my two cats over five visits. My cats enjoyed having someone to spend time with them and give attention and playtime.”
About: Hi, I’m Miranda! I’ve been caring for pets for 15+ years, whether that’s dogs, cats, rabbits… even a bearded dragon or two. I share my home with a very clever Aussie (Pippin!) and a small cat queen named Eleanor. I have experience working with reactive dogs, senior pets, and administering medication to cats and dogs. Whether your buddy needs eye drops, pills, or just a slow, structured routine, I’m patient, calm, and happy to help. 🌱 I use force-free, reward-based methods (in conjunction with clicker training, if desired). I move at your dog’s pace whether we’re building confidence with a new puppy, burning off energy on a weekend hike, or keeping things lowkey for a mellow senior. I believe in meeting each animal with gentleness, curiosity, and a sense of humor because let’s be honest… pets are weird and wonderful, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😌 I offer: - Dog walks on evenings, or all day Sat-Mon - Dog boarding in my home on weekends 🏠 - Weekend hiking adventures for dogs who love to move 🌲 - Pet sitting for cats 💕 Whether your pet is anxious, high-energy, or just needs someone who respects their routine (and quirks!), I’m here for them and for you! ✨ Big dogs, small cats, and everything in between. I work in an office 4 days a week, so am available in the evenings + nights Tuesday-Friday for walks, drop in pet sitting, and anything else I can help with. My weekends, Friday night through Monday night, are open for hanging out with pet pals— whether that looks like a half hour walk around the neighborhood, a long hike nearby, pet sitting for cats, or boarding at my place for dogs. In my home: Dogs staying at my home get lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and a cozy environment. I have a large yard (unfenced, so we use 50ft long lines to ensure security + freedom), go on multiple walks a day (with or without my dog Pippin), and sometimes go on weekend hikes if your dog is cool with car rides or if specifically requested. I keep a consistent routine, offer safe enrichment activities, and always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. In your home: When caring for cats (or other pets) in your home, I respect your space and routines. I keep things tailored to your pet’s needs, whether that’s playtime, medication, or just some chill companionship. I’ll always communicate clearly and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe and cared for. 💕
About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and older pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m great at picking up on individual needs—whether that’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, handling clean-up routines, or giving pets the one-on-one attention they deserve. I am free most weekdays after 3pm and open on weekends. I can guarantee you my undivided attention to your pets. I will make sure they are taken care of wonderfully. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and calm space with plenty of love and attention. I follow their routines carefully to keep things familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space, follow all instructions, and ensure their pet feels secure and cared for. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care help build trust every step of the way.
About: Hi there! I’m an elementary school teacher looking for a fun summer gig. I would love to walk your dog or check in on your cat while you’re away. Proud owner of 2 chihuahuas, but have previously owned big dogs too. Thanks for considering! I have lots of availability this summer being on summer break! I could give your dog a walk, or check in your cat. Mornings, afternoons, or evenings! I would defer to you as to what safety looks like (harness, leash, collar, etc). My two dogs have name tag collars, and leashes. I have walked dogs with harnesses as well. Sometimes I need a little instruction as to how to put it on (some designs are tricky!), but in the end I always figure it out!
“Stephanie did a marvelous job taking care of my very senior (19 yo) cat in my home while I was gone. She came twice a day to feed her, clean up, give medication, brush, pet and hug her. She texted me pictures and updates at every visit. Peaches looked better when I got back than she did when I left! I highly recommend Stephanie as a very dependable and caring petsitter.”
“We could not have asked for a better cat sitter for our two girls! Rory answered our last minute request for cat care after our usual sitter fell through, then took the time and dedication to drop in and visit them twice a day. Not only did she see to their basic needs, she went above and beyond to play with them to ensure they were not bored or lonely while we were away. Not to mention the adorable and sometime hilarious pictures she sent everyday! I would recommend Rory to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 11/10! 😊”
About: I have owned a Yellow Lab my entire life and have been responsible for taking care of him. I have also provided care for pets of my neighbors and others in my community. I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I love spending time with animals! I’m currently in school so I have plenty of time to provide pet care in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. I am also free all day on the weekends. I am a very clean and respectful person who would treat and respect your home as if it were my own. Before the visit, please feel free to let me know of your expectations regarding your house and/or pet.
“Morgan is a great, reliable and attentive pet sitter. My cat requires daily life-saving medication, and Morgan was on time, communicative and made sure my baby was well taken care of. You can tell she really cares about animals and being around fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: When I was growing up my family always had dogs and cats. After I went off to college I adopted a cat named Louie from the local shelter. He just passed away recently at the age of 19. I am missing having a cat around and would love to look after your cat when you’re away. I also have two dogs (I have a senior shepherd mix and a 1.5 year old lab mix). My dogs are my priority so I can’t commit to overnights but with my days free this summer I am available for dog walking, house sitting and cat sitting. I work full-time during the school year but I have the summers off with plenty of free time to spend cuddling with some cats. I’d love to do dog sitting as well but am not sure I can commit to overnights as I have my own two dogs at home who need me but I’m open for daily support such as walks or feeding during the owners’ work hours. My dogs use a long lead out back and aren’t left unsupervised for long. When my cat was alive he had his own separate space away from the dogs as well as easier access to food, water and litter as he was arthritic.
About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day
“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”

“Izzy was awesome! Friendly, great communication, punctual, and sweet with our cats! Thank you Izzy (and sorry for the late rating!) ?”
Miranda H.
“Miranda is a wonder! She has great energy and our full-sized wheatendoodle has never been so engaged with another person. Miranda not only took him on long walks at parks and on trails, she made the walks challenging and interesting. Finn loves their time together and Miranda was so good at communicating with us and connecting with Finn that we asked her to keep him during our last vacation. Game changer. She followed our instructions about his eating schedule, gave him plenty of exercise, and kept us updated throughout our holiday. Finnigan is high energy and constantly challenging authority. He is a lot for most people…even his daycare folks, so it was refreshing to see Miranda with our sweet fur baby. Her calm authority and mindfulness with Finn makes leaving him with her one of our best decisions. He gets extra socialization and exercise when I have to work on weekends and I don’t feel bad because I know he’s with Miranda. I can’t recommend her enough!”
Stoph S.
“Stoph is a gem! She took care of my cat Aubergine when I was out of town and even checked on the plants. You can't go wrong with Stoph!”
Carlyan V.
“I had the pleasure of having Carlyan care for my cat, Toby, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Toby can be a bit shy and particular, but Carlyan was incredibly gentle and caring with him from the start. She took the time to make sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved, and I could tell he was in good hands throughout the entire time I was gone. Carlyan communicated with me regularly, kept me updated, and followed all of Toby’s care instructions perfectly. Her calm and attentive nature made all the difference. I would confidently recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable caregiver. I’ll absolutely be calling on her again! – Jess R.”
Claire G.
“We have a long history of Claire caring for our pets and could not recommend her more! She is responsive and easy to work with, providing updates and clear communication. Our pets are always well loved and act like they barely missed us because Claire took the time to truly care for them and love them. Claire makes sure cats are fed and cared for with clean litter boxes, and dogs are fed and walked as needed. Pick Claire! You won't regret it!”
