“I would 10/10 recommend Jennifer if you’re looking for dog boarding services. Jennifer and her family treats my dog with so much love and care. I have been using her service for almost a year already and can’t think of a better sitter for my dog. You won’t regret leaving your pup with her!! Thanks again for all you do, Jennifer!”
“Phenomenal dog sitter. I boarded my two dogs with Jeffrey for Christmas week. He provided updates and pictures each day in a consistent and clear manner. He took great care of my dogs, and my dogs always have fun with Jeffrey's dog, Lily. I will continue to hire Jeffrey as my main dog sitter for as long as possible.”
“We have used Mary multiple times and it’s been great! We get lots of updates and pictures and it’s clear she treats our pet with lots of love and attention. She’s a great pet sitter that I can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Jacqueline and Jim treated my pup and loved her like their own! As it was my 60-lb Golden Retriever’s first time at a house with a cat, I set up a meet and greet and I could tell my dog felt right at home. Jacqueline was super communicative and warm prior to and during the boarding process. I could tell by the photos that my dog was comfortable and I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come back with me! I cannot recommend Jacqueline enough and will definitely board my dog at her place again.”
“Yuiko was great! I'm a overprotective dog mom and my dogs are my world. I moved from Chicago and had to find a sitter. Im picky and don't choose just anyone to babysit my pups. Yuiko is the best! She's very great in communication and gives you updates on how their sleeping, eating, etc. And her kids are very sweet. I can tell from the photos my pups were having a blast! 100% A+++ safe, reliable and very sweet! I'll definitely be using her service again.”
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Gabriela came highly recommended by a friend whose dog she had previously cared for. We could not have been any happier or more pleased with the exceptional care she provided to our 16 1/2 yr old chihuahua. Having an older dog with poor vision and hearing impaired made us so nervous but Gabriela immediately made us feel comfortable and had such keen instincts for our pup's needs. Our dog immediately bonded with her. We received pictures and updates from Gabriela and upon picking her up also received a full report. Gabriela is such a kind and caring person, you can immediately pick up on that and it truly showed in the loving attention she gave our pup. Would not hesitate to use her again and have already booked our pups next stay with her.”
“Rhea took great care of my dog over the weekend. He was so comfortable as soon as he got there and got along great with their sweet dog. I received pictures and updates multiple times per day and could see he was calm, and happy during his visit. He had a nice little vacation of his own there with lots of walks, play time, and cuddles! Thank you !”
“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!”
“Our pup, Anya, is a rescue and is very nervous around new people and dogs. Yuhan took the time to get Anya comfortable and settle in. She kept in touch and let us know how Anya was doing. I feel great about how Yuhan cared for Anya, and would not hesitate to have her take care of her again.”
“Milissa is so communicative! Always sending updated & pictures which makes us feel so comfortable leaving Louie in her care. We will continue to rebook with her!!”
“Samantha was great! Very knowledgeable about dogs. She sent me a picture of her daughter reading Milo a book. Adorable! She kept me updated about Milo and informed me of a health condition with Milo. Very much appreciated!”
“Emelie was wonderful and very relaxed about my dog's quirks. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I was an anxious dog mama but she really made me feel comfortable that he was fitting in and having a good time.”
“Rebecca was wonderful. Bootsie is 12 yrs old and loves her sofa and that’s what she got. A comfy sofa, no other dogs, and a good walk and meal every day. Heaven! She was hard pressed to get up and leave. Rebecca sent pictures every day, keeping me abreast of the visit. She is a warm and caring sitter who put me at ease. Linda P”
“Lizzy was fantastic - good communication, easy to make arrangements, and most importantly, great with my pups. They came back happy and healthy and obviously had a great time. Thanks!”
“Daja took the best care of my dog while I was on vacation! She was very commutative and sent daily pictures. He was very well taken care of while I was gone!”

“Courtney was phenomenal! She took great care of your pets, went the extra mile to care for our space, and provided consistent and clear communication. It was so evident that she deeply cares about our pets and wanted to ensure that our family had a relaxed, positive time while we were away. Thank you, Courtney!”
“Haeley made sure our cats were as happy as could be both times she dropped in! She made sure to send photos of all the things I asked her to check on, as well as many pictures of my happy cats!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful!! She was completely reliable and thorough. She sent lots of pictures which really help when you’re away from your pets for multiple days and she provided great updates. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve cat-sit for my neighbor for years! My neighbor goes on work trips for, at times, weeks on end, and I’ve learned to give medicine, clean litter, give food and water, and play with them over the years. Although I’ve only owned a dog, I’ve always loved cats and all of their funny quirks and personalities just as much, if not more, than any other animal ❤️
“Kristen took great care of my cats & kept them company while I was away. I loved the photo updates. I know that they are in greats hands with her.”
“Amelia was wonderful taking care of our cat, Ari, while we were away on our trip! She kept us informed of how he was doing and sent cute pictures of him each day. The house and house plants were also in great condition upon our retuirn. High recommendations for Amelia!”
“So glad to have found Lucy. The pictures made me feel so much better while I was away. My one cat can be very hesitant with new people so to see him eating and coming for attention really shows her caring talent.”
“Ally watched our kitty for us when my husband and I went on a longer vacation and she was so kind and Raja (our cat) loved her! Which is saying something because he normally HATES new people and is very anxious. But he adjusted very quickly and warmed up to her. She’s very sweet and communicates very well and we will most definitely be rebooking with her at some point!”
“Shelby is the best- my male cat was facing a health issue and she provided so much love and support, administered meds and gave us great communication and photos while we were out of town. Shelby has a very sweet personality. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves animals. Went out of her way. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing. We have two cats with their own idiosyncrasies - one is very old and needs extra love and care. I was shocked at how much Kerri did for him. The communication was next level. From the first visit I felt so comfortable with her looking after the cats. I thought I would be worried for our entire week trip, but Kerri’s amazing care made me not worry a bit.”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“As always, Marketa took excellent care of my cat. He an old guy and diabetic, so he’s not the easiest cat to care for, but he’s always happy and healthy when I get back, and my house is always in order. Thanks Marketa!”
“Julia did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were traveling — responsive, thoughtful, and caring—all the makings of a great cat sitter!”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”

“We are moving permanently to the other side of the country this week and are super sad that Jeffrey will no longer be our dog sitter. He has been amazing for daycare and boarding, and you and your pet(s) will be extremely happy with Jeffrey.”
“Yuhan was amazing. Her communication was awesome, she replied to all my messages so quickly. She was also very very loving to my fur baby. I would highly recommend!”
“Mary is amazing, I keep going back to her. She gives great updates and is not shy on giving details. She cared for my dog in the snow and kept him happy and warm. She is so sweet and my dog was so excited to see her. I would recommend!”
About: Retired dog groomer and life long dog owner. I was a dog walker in Center City before I started a family. I was also a dog groomer for 10 years and have plenty of experience around all kinds of pets. I currently walk a few dogs in the surrounding area and have a flexible schedule as I work from home as a real estate agent. Our dog passed away during COVID, and we are currently dog less. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding house trained, kid friendly dogs, week days and most weekends. I am also available to house sit in your home with your pet if you prefer. I can provide daily walks and/or yard play time and exercise, as well as feeding and admiring administering simple medications. In my home we have an unfenced yard, so I will walk your dog as per specific needs. We prefer pets not on furniture or bed, and would rather have owner provide something to sleep on. If not provided we do have blankets. We have 3 boys 16 and under so dogs would have to be kid friendly. Our boys love dogs and grew up with a doberman. They are respectful, calm and understanding of pet needs.
“Matt & Tara were great with my gal, Pebbles. They sent me a couple of photos along with messages letting me know she was okay, which was a relief especially since this was the 1st time using them, will definitely rebook with Matt & Tara”
“We had a last-minute trip out of town and were so thankful that T. Monee was able to watch our pup for the day. This is our second time booking with her, and we’re so pleased! The pup came home tired and happy from a long day of playing 😊”
“Rhea was amazing! Olive had such a great time with her and her pup! She was able to answer all my questions and made me instantly feel at ease leaving my pup with her. I would absolutely rebook in an instant!”
About: Hi! We’re Electra and Crescent. We love travel, food and animals! 🐾 We’re lifelong pet parents who have shared our home with cats and dogs for decades. We currently live with three cats of our own (2 belonged to my late mother) Kiki the senior Russian blue, Helena the toothless full figured queen and Charles Mr. Humpty Dumpty. We genuinely love caring for animals and understand the unique needs of picky eaters, seniors, energetic and active animals or pets who prefer calm, low-stress environments. We call Charles our “special needs baby” since he is neutered but loves to hump his cat toy (Matilda) Kiki was my mom’s cat who is a senior and has IBD aside from her IBD (which we are managing) she’s a very quiet, laid back cat that likes her quality time. Helena was my mom’s cat and talk about food focused! Despite having only 2 bottom teeth this thick beauty don’t let that stop her! 🐾 I’m Electra and I’m available most of the day. My husband Crescent works Monday–Friday during the day (usually finished by late afternoon). This gives us excellent flexibility for pet sitting: • Boarding at our home: We can typically do pet pickups early evenings or anytime on weekends. • Drop-offs: You can bring your pet anytime. We can also do pickups for you Monday–Friday after 5 pm or anytime on weekends. Since I’m home I can provide personalized, attentive care for your furry family members. Whether it’s longer walks, extra play sessions, or simply quiet companionship for pets that get lonely, we tailor our care to what each animal needs. We board cats (up to 3) or small-medium dogs (up to 2) at a time. We have a dedicated spare bedroom that works beautifully as a cozy “cat hotel” or “doggie retreat” — complete with a litter box, cat tree, twin bed, toys and TV for background noise. Your pets get complete free-roaming access in this room with no crates. Privacy with one family at a time to ensure a calm, stress-free environment for your pet with access to ring camera for boarding stays. We’ll ensure that your cats have a freshly clean litter box daily, interaction multiple hours a day, great window view for birdwatching and followed feeding routine. Your dogs will have plenty of time outside, I’m available and can provide multiple walks and engagement throughout the day, with comfortable indoor space for relaxation and eating routines. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry babies are safe and in a controlled space. We offer Ring camera access so you can check in anytime, plus daily text updates with photos and details about how their day went. When we visit your home, we’re extremely mindful of your pet’s normal routines. We’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime if they crave it, or respectful space if they prefer quiet time — always with their comfort and happiness as our top priority.
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”
“Shannon is fabulous! So kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious little pup. A very inviting environment that works well for my Lucy, plus a fenced in yard! (I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t leave this review. I don’t want her to be booked the next time Lucy needs to be watched…)”
“Emelie was great! We had a last minute change to our schedule and she was very accommodating. She also sent photos and responded to messages quickly. Recommend!”
“Wonderful experience for my dog Harper. And Kristen was very thoughtful, responsive and helpful with everything surrounding the visit. Harper looks forward to her next stay. Highly recommended!!”

About: I have an 11 year old senior dog who I’ve trained in eating, using the bathroom, tricks, and other manners since he was born.

By picking me as your animal’s caretaker, your picking a complete animal-lover who will love your pets just as much as you do❤️ As a college athlete, I often take walks around my neighborhood on my own for leisurely time. I’d be over the moon happy to have a companion to take these walks with, or even take them to the park to get some play time together! Along with loving animals, I also would describe myself as being a pretty clean and organized person. However you leave your home is how I will leave it for you when you return.

“Yoel was great as always! He always sends us photos of our pets to set our minds at ease. This visit he was even able to win over our pathologically shy, anxious cat and we were so relieved that she got some affection while we were gone. Yoel always seems to really enjoy our pets, which is a great feeling for us now that we have our hands full traveling with a baby.”

“I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Danielle. My dog Paulie is my life and he has never been away from home for longer than a night. We were going away for a week and so I was nervous to leave him, especially because he has anxiety and is shy around new people. Right after dropping him off, I felt confident and secure that he was in good, caring hands. I was so happy to find out that while he was there, Paulie came out of his shell and became super comfortable in Danielle’s home. I was afraid that he was going to be standoffish and anxious the entire time - but he clearly had a great time with Danielle, Wade, and their dog Jones! He was shown so much love and was treated like family, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Danielle’s communication is top notch and I would not hesitate to have her watch Paulie again!”

She sent pictures whenever I texted to check in. Chaos seemed so relaxed and comfortable. He came home happy and healthy. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline!”
