“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Yuiko was great with our pup, Yeti! She sent multiple pictures everyday, which is something we really like. We will definitely send him to her again. He also seemed to have lots of fun with her family and the other pups she was boarding!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Rebecca was sooooo wonderful!! We did a meet and greet first which was great — gave us some peace knowing how nice the space was for our pups. She was super communicative, sent updates (including pictures!!!) 100/10 so very glad to have found her & will absolutely be booking again next time we need a sitter! :)”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
“Donte did an excellent job looking after our two dogs and cat during the holiday weekend. The drop-off process was seamless, and he maintained good communication before, during, and for the pickup. Will definitely book again.”
“Christin was great with Santos! He seemed so happy to be there. It was apparent that she is a natural dog lover who appreciates different canine personalities. She cared for him during the most trying times of doing so with any dog, involving historic cold weather. And went above and beyond the duty of just 'watching him'. Communication was great and I will not hesitate to use her again”
“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Jennifer is truly the best! Communicative and great with my dog. Also has a fun back yard and great pets- my dog always comes home nice and tired!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of my expirience with Mel and Shilohs stay. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I received updates and photos of my dog while I was gone and saw how much fun ahe was having. Mel was a great help and I will plan to use her in the future!”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“Tamikia is so kind and dependable. And my dog seriously did not want to leave when I came to pick her up. I got photos and videos every day, and Tamikia was available before my trip to do a meet and greet at her house. My dog has dietary issues and sometimes comes home with an upset stomach when she is boarded with someone who has dogs and/or cats because of getting into someone else's food but that was not the case this time. I am going to book with Tamikia for my next trip!”
“Nicolle was amazing with our new puppy! We have only had her for 2 weeks, so we were nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Nicolle put us at ease. She was prompt in her responses both prior to the booking and during the booking and sent photos. Our pup came back happy and well cared for”
“We are so grateful to have found Ulku and Andrew! They were so kind and wonderful to work with and our dog seemed to have had the best time! Their backyard was a real treat for our dog and the picture and video updates were awesome. We really hope to be able to work with them again in the future!”

“Molly was the perfect for my needs. I have a recently domesticated stray who has binded with me, but is very skittish with anyone else. I was worried that he would not eat during my recent vacation. Molly took care of him wonderfully under the circumstances. She will be my "go to" person going on, and who knows, given time, they may become close friends. Thank you, Molly!”
“Absolutely wonderful! So friendly and accommodating. My cat is very cuddly but also has separation anxiety and Kathy kept him so at ease while I was out of town. Almond loved her!”
“Alyssa was responsive and took great care of our cat. She sent us cute pictures of him during each visit, which is so nice. We'll definitely rebook with Alyssa next time we have to travel!”
“Emily was perfect with my cat when I was out of town for a few days! She sent me pictures and updates every day and I felt totally comfortable having her take care of my kitty. Will definitely ask Emily to sit with us next time we’re out of town!”
“Ali took great care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She always sent pics and was able to problem solve when my cat knocked over her feeder. I was very nervous leaving my cat for the first time but felt at ease with Ali caring for her.”
“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
“Julia is very nice and personable. She was very responsible in coming on a regular basis, twice a day, to take care of my two cats and was diligent on sending photographs! I would recommend Julia. I feel like my cats were well taken care of and seemed happy when I returned.”
“Sydney was fantastic! She was so great with my kitty Mika and gave her great care. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I would definitely recommend Sydney!”
“Brittany did a fantastic job with our senior kitty Joyce! She was very understanding and caring. We felt at ease knowing Joyce was in her care. We hope to book her again soon!”
“Memorial Day Weekend (3 days) was the first time that I had been away from home and needed pet care for 3 pets from Wojciech. Like before, he has been very communicative to the needs and issues that may arrive with my pets. On this weekend, while miles away, he informed me that one of my pets (my bird) had taken ill. He took care of my bird as best that he could given that he had probably little prior bird experience, and he checked on my bird until I was able to return home to make the final care taking for my bird.”
“Ashley was so awesome checking in on Woogie over the holidays! Lots of pictures and information from each visit! Would HIGHLY recommend Ashley to anyone that needs their pet looked after while they are away!”
“Scott was awesome and super communicative when dealing with my crazy when-won't-they-be-kittens cats. He even brought his own laser pointer for their amusement!! Will definitely rebook!”
“Cece is very sweet. She followed all of my directions and took care of our kittens while we were briefly out of town. She also managed to impress our one kitten who is apprehensive of strangers. She sent pictures which we greatly appreciated. Thank you again!”
“Mackenzie was great! She helped with my dog with special needs (deaf, partially blind) over the holidays. She communicated well with updates and pictures every day, and she worked through some bad winter weather! I am very particular with who I trust with my dog, and we would definitely use her again.”

I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
“Chris is a fantastic dog walker and sitter. He was able to do a couple of daycare days for Whimzy when we needed to have work done at the house last minute, which is immensely helpful. Chris is so good with Whimzy, and she loves spending time with him. We're very grateful for Chris!”
“Ronon has spent the day with Samantha five times now. This morning when I said "you're going to Sam's today to play with Petunia," he started barking and zooming around. When I picked him up at the end of the day, he was happy and relaxed. What more could I ask for?”
“Could not have had a better first experience with Mel watching Cannoli! The drop off process was easy and he seemed instantly comfortable with her. She sent numerous photos throughout the day showing how much fun he was having and how happy he was! Would 100% recommend and we cannot wait for Cannoli's upcoming weekend stay with Mel knowing how comfortable he is with her!!”
About: Hi, my name is Shandara. I live in Roxborough and I have a Standard poodle named Biscotti. Biscotti and I love to go on long walks and explore the neighborhood. If you live in the area, you’ve probably seen us around! Biscotti is so adorable and we love to try fun haircuts, so he tends to attract a lot of attention. I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish. I’ve had my own dog now for 5 years and I’ve been trusted by many family members and friends to care for their pets. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the struggle and anxiety that come with needing to find the right care. We all hope for someone responsible and loving who will make our pet feel right at home. My hope is to be that person for you. My goal is to provide exceptional care so you can enjoy your time away knowing that your loved one is in good hands. I recently left my 9-5 in Investment Operations to pursue my dreams of working for myself. I’m home all day, every day of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your fur baby. Finding the right caretaker is an investment and you can rest assured you’re making the right decision with me! I have a small fenced in yard and one friendly dog who would be happy to keep your fur baby company. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet is safe & comfortable whether in your home or mine. Safety is a priority so pets are never left together unsupervised.
“Bailey had a great day with his fellow doggies and Yuhan. After she was initially a bit confused and clingy with her dad she adjusted quickly. Yuhan was very responsive and texted me back promptly when I asked her how Bailey was doing. It is a busy household but it is evident that Yuhan and her family love dogs! 🐾🐾”
About: I used to take care of my son's dogs for many years, as well as dogs from our neighbors. Our house has great temperatures inside and outside I am at home most of the time, since I work from home. I can spent a lot of time with pets. Our neighborhood (Manayunk) is very safe and not noisy. I can host pets, we have a large patio. I have security cameras un our fenced patio. I also have a doggie door, so pets can exit/enter on their own.
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”

“Tim was so great! We did a meet and greet almost right away and he got along with my pup, Brandy, so well. He showed up on time and walked for the entire 30 minutes. We will definitely be using Tim again!”
“Kevin was great! He came by to get introduced before the first walk. we got updates on when he arrived, how the walk went and photos! Larry was happy and we felt that he was in good hands while we were await for the day.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 30 years! I’m very familiar with animals and I love taking care of my daughter’s new puppy while she’s away. I’ve owned 4 dogs in my life so far and I am always the first to call when watching my friends dogs! I live an active life and I love walking and hiking. I am a full time pet sitter so I will be very available to watch/walk your dog! I’m super flexible so I will work around your schedule! I love to go on long walks and will make sure your dog gets enough exercise! I am very respectful of other peoples homes and I only want your pet to have the best and most comfortable experience. Your pets safety and your trust in me is my number one priority.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)
“Christel is extremely communicative and responsive....but most importantly, our dog genuinely enjoys his walks with her. She does a thorough job walking him around the neighborhood, allowing plenty of time for sniffing.....AND she has the patience to deal with our cranky old dog when he just doesn't wanna go outside. She's successfully lured him downstairs and coaxed him into his much needed walks several times. She is our regular walker for a reason!! Highly recommend.”
“Our dog loves Allison! She immediately took to her upon meeting and it is clear that Allison is a great dog walker and a true dog lover. She is very reliable and able to accommodate our busy work schedules.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, and loved a medium sized dog in my home growing up for about 9-10 years. Since having him I’ve pet sat for friends, family, family friends as requested. I’ve watched dogs overnight and for up to 9 or so consecutive months, and I’ve watched two cats for 3 months. I’ve helped my mom care for her pitbull puppy and her pointer. Any pet I watch I will love as if they were my own; and if I’m coming for an extended stay, I make sure the house is nice, clean, and smelling good so the owner can relax as much as possible coming home. Happy to do walks, feedings, extended stays, I’m not the most experienced in grooming but am willing to get the practice in if the trust is there. Let me know what you need and I’ll do what I can to support you and your fur baby🥰. I work a lot as an actor/performer, and am in between gigs. So my schedule is primarily dedicated to pet care outside of daily responsibilities When in my clients homes I stick to their rules with their pets. So if dogs on the bed/couch are a no, I’ll respect that. My goal is to make my clients animal as comfortable as possible. I even like seeing them sometime before the scheduled visit to see how our chemistry is, though I haven’t had had any bad visits. In my home I’ll care for them in the same fashion. Make sure they’re feed, take them for walks (if they’re walkers), cuddle and make sure they feel loved.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

I don't travel for work much and had a day trip that required an overnight stay for Nico. I reached out to Christine with very little notice (day before) and she agreed to watch Nico for me. Pit bulls very much get a bad rap and I'm so glad and fortunate to have found an advocate of the breed that knows their inherent sweetness, beauty, intelligence and gentle souls.”
“Liam was great! Left my dog for the first time to go on vacation and he sent me multiple texts a day with pictures to assure me things were going smoothly. He was very flexible and accommodating. My dog loved him and will no doubt book with Liam again!”
“Lucy had another awesome stay with Fran and friends. Lucy injured her paw a few days before our vacation, which was not ideal but, of course, Fran took excellent care of her. Fran and I scheduled a call to go over Lucy’s care needs before her stay, which included medications and a daily Epsom salt soak for her paw. Fran took excellent care of all of Lucy’s extra needs. At the end of her time with Fran, Lucy was happy as usual, and her paw was fully healed! So appreciative of Fran, Curtis, and Rosie, for their hospitality and excellent care of Lucy!!”

“Danielle is the best! She watched our two pups for a few days and we felt so comfortable leaving them with her. I know our pups were so loved while we were gone. She kept us updated each day with how the pups were doing. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Christina took great care of our pup! She sent cute pictures and kept us updated the whole time! He loved her and was very happy and relaxed with her. We’d definitely use her services again!”
“Thank you Allison and Kevin for taking such great care of our dog during our recent trip. My family and I really appreciated seeing daily pics of her. It helped us enjoy being away even more since we knew Mandy was with a great family.”
