“Carolyn is wonderful and I would highly recommend her! Kind, professional, dependable, and great with our dogs. We have 2 golden retrievers, ~3 yrs and ~6 mos, and they took to Carolyn right away. She took them on terrific hour-long walks for the 3 days we needed, even toweling them down because of the rains. I will definitely reach out to Carolyn in the future when similar needs come up.”
About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened". —Anatole France. Hello ~ I enjoy playing and spending time with all my pup friends. Through out the years I have been fortunate to have met great pet parents who have now become regular clients for years, either for doggy daycare or boarding, I am always happy to help out! To any one residing within 4 mile radius, I offer complimentary pick up or drop off as needed:) I offer drop-in visits, doggy daycare & boarding at my home and will accept more than one dog, (up to 3), if it's from the same family:) Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard everyday.

“We’ll be booking Daphne again! She was able to help us out to walk our two senior dogs with short notice. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time for the walk, and went above and beyond walking our newer adopted dog whose leash manners are a work in progress. In the app, we got a picture and update after her drop in/walk. Our dogs were clearly in very good hands. Can’t ask for anything more than that!”
“Alex is wonderful! Responsive, on time and really a joy to interact with and our pup Ellie just loves her too! Thank you Alex for making this transition for Ellie so much smoother. She can’t wait for her next walk with you!”
About: I'm an animal person that values clear communication. I love long walks equally to fuzzy couch cuddles, and my favorite part of the job is getting to know a new pet. I will follow all directions you leave for me, ask questions if I need clarity, and then I will send photos / updates throughout my stay. I work remotely and am available to hang out at your house as well, so your baby doesn't get lonely while you're gone. I'm an avid plant mom & can take care of your plants as well. I'm currently working remotely, and have flex hours, so I have plenty of flexibility to take your pet out! I'm also available to hang out at your house during my workday - I just need a Wi-Fi signal to use my laptop. Im 33 years old & very boring, I just work on my laptop, hang with friends or husband, and go to the gym, you can trust me. I would like us and your fur baby to meet in advance of booking, so that we know it's a good fit & everyone is on the same page.
About: Reliable, fun, and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for both dogs and cats. A Philadelphia native, I grew up in Chestnut Hill and attended the University of Pennsylvania. Born into a family of animal lovers, I spent my childhood taking care of numerous dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, and lizards. I'm skilled in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments, with a strong understanding of canine behavior, basic training techniques, and health needs. I have a calm nature and pets usually warm to me quickly. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I'm committed to maintaining a stress-free environment. I'm trusted by pet parents for consistent communication, dependability, and respect for their furry family members. I also get rave reviews for my pet photos! All the pictures posted on my profile were taken in the last few months. I recently decided to take a break from the corporate world to focus on what I love most: Dogs and the great outdoors! I'm looking to walk dogs during the week with some weekends depending on my schedule. I'm also available for cat and dog vacation visits during the week and holidays. I like to take my dogs out for multiple walks daily. I'm a big hiker and will make sure your pooch gets a great workout! With less active dogs, playtime is focused at home with short walks around the neighborhood. I also grew up with cats and understand the importance of play and mental stimulation.
“Adrianna was excellent! She was very communicative, on time, sent an update on Wally, and agreed to meet him prior to the day of the walk. We would 100% recommend her and will be utilizing her service again!”
About: I have always had pets in my house. Right now I currently have three dogs and 10 hermit crabs. Over the years I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, and the occasional hamster. My oldest dog is 10 years old and she’s a lab pitbull mix. My middle dog is seven years old and she’s a CavJack .But don’t let that fool you, she’s all Jack Russell. And the baby in the family is about to turn five and he’s an English bulldog Boston terrier mix and he is the true baby of the family. He is spoiled rotten. I have also done pet sitting in my neighborhood and have even given insulin to my neighbor’s cat. I would love to share my love of animals and walk or play with your dog on the weekend or help care for your cats. I look forward to loving on your furbabies! I am currently working full-time, but I would love to spend time on my weekends helping out and spending time with others who need assistance with their animals. Because of my three dogs, I am unable to care for your animals in my home however, I have no problem coming to you. I love meeting new furry friends.

“Talia was great with our dog when we were out of town for the weekend! She was prompt and took him for long walks, played with him a lot, and was very communicative with us.
