I highly recommend Kristin!”
About: I have had seven dogs throughout my life and currently have a friendly 7-year-old Beagle. I have also pet-sat dogs for family and friends over the years. Caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently don’t work and I am home all day so I can be with your dog most of the day and let them out frequently. I have a big fenced yard and like to walk dogs. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and responsibility that I would want for my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being and communicate with the owner regularly so they know how their pet is doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”
“Stacey was great with Bella! She is super friendly and I really appreciated her daily updates with pics. It unexpectedly stormed during Bella’s visit and Stacey helped comfort her through the thunder and lightning. I definitely recommend Stacey and will use her services again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had seven dogs and six cats, so caring for pets was a part of my everyday life. From feeding and grooming to playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention, I learned early on what it takes to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for mice, turtles, and fish, giving me experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I’ve always had pets throughout my life, and caring for animals has never felt like a chore, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I also spend time feeding and observing backyard birds, which reflects my love and appreciation for all kinds of animals. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or another beloved pet, I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Although I have an unfenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. We also have a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walks and exercise. If your pet is crate trained or you prefer they be crated when unattended or at bedtime, I’m happy to accommodate that routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own.

“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip.

About: My family rescued our cat Suma from the SPCA, and caring for her has given me hands-on experience with daily cat care and understanding feline behavior.

From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. Hollie kept me updated, made sure Chacho was comfortable, and gave him plenty of opportunities to play and socialize with the other dogs. He had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out, which is always a sign of a great day for him! It’s clear that Hollie genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I truly appreciated her kindness, communication, and dedication to making sure Chacho had a fun and safe stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!

My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.
About: I have three families in the area that I dog sit for, each a few times a year. I once flew across the country to dog and cat sit for a friend in Colorado and loved every second of it! I grew up with a yellow lab and I’ve had four cats throughout my life. Looking to adopt a dog in the future! I recently lost my job and while I’m searching for employment I thought I’d make some extra doing what I love! I’m in the Phoenixville area Monday-Thursday and then I’m typically in the city with my partner Friday-Monday. This schedule is flexible :) just let me know what you’re looking for and we can probably make it work! I thoroughly follow directions when I’m in someone else’s home! I value honesty and transparency so you can rest assured that if I commit to something, I’ll follow through with it!
About: Looking for a cozy, home-like environment for your dog, whether it’s for the day or an extended stay? Look no further! I’ve been a lifelong pet lover, having cared for both dogs and cats. I’m also a proud volunteer with Home at Last Dog Rescue. My dachshund-beagle mix, Dixie, joined our family in 2020, and my beagle, Emily, was my very first foster fail! Our dogs love camping and exploring the great outdoors with us. Your dog will feel right at home in my fenced yard, a safe and fun space for running and playing. My senior pups will love having the extra company! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! My home is perfect for extended stays! I’ll keep your pet on a consistent schedule to maintain their familiar routine. While I work in the office three days a week, your pet will be safe and comfortable, either relaxing in a crate or spending time with my dogs in a designated area of the house. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who will enjoy keeping your dog company. If you’re comfortable with crate training, your dog can use a crate for quiet time when needed. On the days I work from home, my dogs stay with me in the same room, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks or zooming around the backyard. I also have a cat who tends to keep a low profile around new furry friends. However, if your dog enjoys chasing cats, my home may not be the best fit.

About: I grew up surrounded by farms and stray cats having babies on my porch that we would often take in. Most of the time my childhood home was full of 2 border collie dogs and 4-6 adopted cats. I have had my own cat for 3 years who I rescued (he has one eye and is the Cutest boy) and all my siblings have dogs and cats that I’m constantly loving like human nieces and nephews. Friends and neighbors have always regarded me as an animal lover and someone who is good with animals. I seem to attract them wherever I go! I am a professor so my schedule is flexible. All week days and weekends work for me. During the weekdays I am most available in the mornings and evenings. I am very respectful of everyone’s homes and their rules. I am good with details and feel comfortable following directions and wishes of any client.

Her communication was excellent, and I felt confident that Ruby was safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I would definitely trust Alexa to watch Ruby again and highly recommend her!”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Sruthi and Abba took such wonderful care of our Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in loving hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They even went the extra mile to make sure our picky little munchkin ate well, showing so much patience and genuine care. It was clear they treated Bruno like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will absolutely book with them again. We highly recommend Sruthi and Abba to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and caring home for their fur babies . Your furry family member will be in the best hands!”
“Maranda was really great at taking care of Brazuca, our English Buldog, for 11 days. When I picked Brazuca up at her house he was very happy and healthy. We will absolutely be leaving our dog with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her services. We were very satisfied.”
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of two Labradors and French Bulldog! I have experience with providing walks, meals, and medications to puppies and senior dogs Currently a half-day Villanova senior, so I am around most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. After 2pm is ideal, with the exception of Wednesday nights I have a quiet, pet-safe apartment (no access to candles, flowers, sharp objects). I would be happy to set up a crate, food and water bowls, or pet beds.
“Dolly took care of our two dogs for 5 days and nights and they were SO WELL LOVED by her whole family. Well taken care of, and we received lots of photos of how much fun they were having. No hesitation to recommend Dolly!”
“Tina is wonderful! She took wonderful care of Chase during a 3 week trip that I had planned before I knew we would be adopting him. She send wonderful updates and photos every day and Chase was living his best life in each photo! I am so glad to have found Tina and would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Beaune had a fabulous time with Benjamin and his family. They went the extra mile to make him feel welcomed and comfortable. They were attentive and tuned into his preferences, needs, and personality! Benjamin’s home is the perfect mix of play and peace, with a great backyard, friendly pup friends, and comfy places to rest. We’ll absolutely return (and already booked our next stay)! There’s really no value you can place on a safe, reliable, and caring sitter for your furbaby and Benjamin is just that!”
“From the trips to the park to the time by the pool, our girl Jill was always in good hands. Wendy was great with keeping updated throughout out trip. On top of that, Jill made a new friend. Highly recommend.”
“We had our second stay with Jordynn and everything went great! She always provides lots of updates and pics and we always are at ease when our pups stay with her!”
“Riley’s first stay with Andrea was great! Andrea was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Andrea also kept us updated with pictures of Riley (usually snuggled up on the couch ?). We would definitely book again!”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”
