Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ludlow

“Shakira is an incredible dog sitter. She provides consistent updates, so you always feel informed and at ease. We’ve used her multiple times for Binks and will absolutely continue to book with her. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares.”

Mary K.

“Diana was a wonderful dogsitter! She was extremely attentive to my dog’s needs and very communicative. She sends daily photos and updates. My dog had a great time with her!”

Stephanie Z.

“Christine and Dan were absolutely incredible! From the moment I met Christine, she was so bubbly, warm, and friendly, and it was immediately clear that they were genuinely excited to spend time with Blizzard. They even offered to meet up before the weekend so that everyone, especially Blizzard, could get comfortable beforehand, which I really appreciated. While I was away, they took Blizzard on a long walk to a nearby park and kept me updated with pictures throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Christine and Dan truly went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I would have them watch Blizzard again in a heartbeat! I could tell Blizz was actually a little sad to leave them, so she clearly had an amazing time too!”

Megan T.

“Liliana took great care of our dog over a long weekend. She was easy to work with and very communicative. Would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.”

Keith W.

“Elizabeth is a rare find and absolute gem. She took such great care of my Luna, administering meds and getting her out for walks. Elizabeth provided frequent, excellent communication without being asked. Luna can be a bit extra sometimes and she was putty in Elizabeth’s hands. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

Kat S.

“Chloe is an amazing dog sitter as always. Gus is always so happy to see her and I love her daily updates. I know my dog is in the best of hands with her!”

Siri O.

“Eliza did an amazing job taking care of my dog, kiwi. She was very attentive to my dog's needs and personality. I really appreciate that there's a backyard and a space for my dog to run around too. The photo updates were also a plus. Kiwi was all smiles even as I picked her up and she was also still clean. Kiwi seemed to have a really good time throughout her visit. Couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter to take care of my dog. Would highly recommend Eliza! :)”

Joey T.

“John took amazing care of our 7.5 month old puppy Rufus. This was Rufus's first ever overnight stay away from us, and was in preparation for a longer stay coming up in November. We definitely feel reassured that Rufus is in the best possible care staying here. Given his young age, we needed someone who could provide Rufus with a pretty high level of attention and John really delivered on that! He sent us lots of photos and detailed updates about how Rufus was getting on, and was patient and understanding about Rufus's puppy behaviours. We appreciated that he even worked on some training techniques with Rufus during his stay. When we picked him up, Rufus seemed very torn about whether to stay with John and Parker or to come home with us! Thank you John!”

Amy R.

“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”

Logan K.

“I can’t say enough good things about Kiara. She always keeps us informed, makes sure my dog enjoys her time, and based on the photos gives the best treats. Kiara has been Maples sitter for a couple of times now, and for longer stays because I know she is in good hands and will definitely take good care of her. I highly recommend Kiara.”

Tiffany R.

“This was the first time I used Rover and Doug was great! He set up a meet and greet to make sure my Nina and his Tonka got along. He also sent a picture of Nina every day. I will definitely use him again!”

Alan M.

“Annyah & Roger were wonderful. Our large Standard Poodle stayed with them over our wedding weekend. We didn't have to worry about Atticus at all and they were kind enough to send picture updates too! We highly recommend them!”

Rachel C.

“Alexa was wonderful with Maddie! She asked/clarified with us a bunch of questions to make sure she was caring for Maddie the the right way and I would 100% use her again!! Great communication!”

Sarah A.

“Sheridan is truly the best!! She is an exceptional communicator, always leaves detailed visit summaries, and is so flexible and friendly! It is so easy to trust her with our babies and have peace of mind while traveling. I can’t recommend her enough, she goes above and beyond every time!!”

Brealle F.

“Valentina is great! I think she really cared for my cat, Nala, on drop ins and went above and beyond with her. She was very good at communicating and I could tell Nala really liked her. Would recommend 10/10!”

Akhil K.

“Alyssa did an excellent job with our kitty! She was happy to follow my many instructions and our cat immediately warmed up to her. I would highly recommend her for your cat care needs 🙂”

Samantha B.

“Gabrielle was so great with my two kitties! I was gone for a week and knew they were in good hands. She spent time with them and played with them. I got such great pictures every day. Thanks so much Gabrielle ! Would 100% books again with her.”

Danielle C.

“Kate checked in on our cat while we were away for ~1 week over the holidays. We had a meet and greet prior and went through our cat’s routine, where Kate asked questions and took notes for the drop in visits. While we were away Kate sent detailed updates and photos/videos and we were shocked to see how quickly our cat warmed up! We’ll definitely rebook with Kate again!”

Jocelyn B.

“Rocky provided excellent service for our two cats, especially as one of them was coming out of some minor medical issues and I was a nervous cat mom. Thanks so much, Rocky, for giving us peace of mind during our travels. Would absolutely book again.”

roberta g.

“We’ve had some cat sitters that wouldn’t even attempt to play or get to know the cats. Alyssa is the exact opposite. She is so great and really spends as much quality time as they’ll allow during the visits. She provides great updates and pics as always.”

Rachel O.

“Amazing! I accidentally gave the wrong address and Zahra came to the right one even though she definitely didn’t need to. Highly recommend. She’s also very good with cats, my shy cat even hung out with her.”

Ciara S.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with a house full of dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, birds and more. Now that I live on my own and travel often, I don’t have the time necessary to dedicate to owning my own pet, so I figured giving my love to other pets when I have the time is the perfect medium for me right now! I work a full time in person job, so I’m available before or after work hours or weekends to look after your pet. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, I can also board your pet in my home as long as they are able to be unsupervised for workday hours. I have a one bedroom pet-friendly apartment building. My home itself has no outdoor areas but I am only a 5 minute walk to a park.

“We love having Annaca take care of our cats! They care deeply for all the pets they look after! Annaca was timely, communicative, and is my go to for pet sitting when we are away!”

Kristin C.

“Deanna you took very good care of my boys. I thank you very much.”

Dave S.

“Kiirsten was amazing!!! I was able to travel and have peace of mind knowing that she was taking good care of my pet. She provided notes and pictures during each session and was very communicative. Greatly appreciate the care you provided!”

Hannah H.

“Sarah did a great job again with Diego. She provided many photo and video updates during the day and it is clear to see how much of a dog lover she is and how well she treats every animal she is looking after. We will continue to use Sarah for our pet sitting needs ☺️”

Alexandra B.

“Christie and Drew took such good care of our puppy Henry. They sent lots of thoughtful updates during the day. Henry clearly loved playing with their dog and wasn’t thrilled that his daddy came to take him home! He was a happy pup with Christie and Drew.”

Andrew W.

“Iliana was really sweet and took great care of my pup. When I picked her up I could see how happy she was and that she had a great time playing with Luna. Would book again! Thank you!”

Natalia G.

“John was fantastic with my Fifi. Five minutes after I dropped her off he sent me photos and a message letting me know she was fine and already playing with his dog, Parker. This was our first date but we will definitely return. Thank you John!”

Tira R.

“Colin was great! Super patient and willing to work with our sweet girls quirks. Lady Bug came home well regulated and well tired out from her day and we look forward to booking with Colin again.”

Tanner L.

“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”

Joyce N.

About: I'm currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, and honestly, time outdoors with a dog is my favorite way to recharge and get away from the screen. A good walk or an afternoon of play doesn't feel like a chore to me — it's the part of my day I look forward to. That means your dog gets someone with the energy and genuine enthusiasm to keep up with them, not just clock in and out. I grew up with a golden retriever and was the one taking care of him solo whenever my parents traveled for work, so I've been the trusted "person in charge" since I was a kid. I offer dog walking, doggy day care, and drop-in visits & house sitting, and I'm comfortable with everyone from high-energy pups to laid-back loungers. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some company, or a full day of play, I'll treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet you both! As a grad student with a flexible, largely home-based schedule, I can give your pet real attention and keep to their routine. Through the summer I'm generally free all day, every day, except Sunday mornings. Because I'm home and around for most of the day, I can stick to your pet's normal routine — feedings, walks, meds, and play at the times they're used to — and send you updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. If you have a specific schedule you'd like me to follow, just let me know and I'll build my day around it. Doggy day care: I'm in a comfortable 750 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with easy access to Rittenhouse Square, so your dog gets a cozy home base plus plenty of nearby green space for walks, play, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They'll have my attention, a steady routine, and regular trips outside rather than being left to lounge alone. Dog drop-in visits: I like to be thorough so your dog's day feels exactly like it does when you're home. Before your first visit, I'll ask where to find the spare leash, poop bags, water, and treats, and I'll want to know your usual walking route and routine. The more detail you can share, the better — I'd genuinely rather have too many instructions than too few, so your pup gets the same care and rhythm they're used to. Cat drop-in visits: For cats, I pay close attention to the details that keep them comfortable while you're away. I'll ask where the litter box is, whether it needs refilling, and exactly how you'd like it cleaned, plus where to find food, water, and treats. I also like to know their favorite toy and how they usually like to play or spend their day, so I can match their normal routine rather than disrupt it. Clear instructions are always welcome — I'd rather follow your way of doing things to the letter.

“Aaron and his wife weee great!!”

Ellen P.

“Lauren was great with Roxie! She was kind enough to help us out with short notice and made Roxie feel like she was right at home. Roxie is a senior pup with special needs”

Briana L.

“Londyn was very responsive & Jack enjoyed his stay! She communicated wonderfully with texts & pics. Was a great location for our stop in Philly to visit independence Hall & Reading Terminal Market! Would highly recommend!”

Jennifer K.

“My dog was really happy and tired after spending a day with Glenda and Trufa. Will definitely be bringing my dog to Glenda for future bookings.”

Samuel K.

About: Hi, My name is Caroline. I am a freshman at PSU in the vet and biomedical major. A little about myself is that I have had dogs all my life and know all about them. If you ever need a night out or a vacation, I am your person to help with your dog. I love walking, running, and playing with dogs. And if baths are needed for your dog, I have no problem making sure they are clean for when you come home to them. If you ever just need someone to tire your dog out with a walk, I am happy to do so. I am happy to help with anything that your dog/cat needs, even if it is a trip to the bathtub.

“Ronon came home happy and relaxed from daycare at Sean's place, so I know he had a good time. (He has separation anxiety and big feelings, so if he's been stressed or unhappy when we're apart, it's pretty obvious.) Sean has a great, chill vibe and was very attentive to everything I told him about Ronon before his first visit. I will definitely book daycare with Sean again!”

Jenna G.

“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?”

Jenna G.

About: I have been working with dogs for years, starting at a pet kennel and then a vet clinic. I also volunteer for the PSPCA. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays, and I am available on weekends, so I can take your dog to parks or we can just hang out at home with my pup! My dog Millie is 5 years old and she gets along great with other dogs! Let me know if you have any special requests and I will do my best to accommodate you. I also have a car, so I can go wherever is needed if the dog needs to be dropped off somewhere. I do offer house sitting, walking, boarding, and drop in visits. My hours include nights and occasional weekends. I look forward to meet you and your pet! I work hybrid so I’m available to watch your pet most of the week! I can also do drop-in visits to play with your pup and take them out on walks. I have a yard with lots of toys! I also have a pool in the summer. I can crate your dog if needed but pets are free to roam around the home.

About: As a reliable and caring dog lover, I believe that pets are family. I have had a house full of pets since I was just 5 years old, and have loved them everyday since. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a nurse, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and special needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a little bit of everything, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member :) I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so I have plenty of time to love your fur babies. My schooling is remote until January, so I will be home all the time aside from errand runs, so I am very able to keep your pup happy and entertained while you’re away!! I have a super friendly golden retriever/ German Shepard mix who loves having friends over - he does extremely well when we watch our friends pups. I am able to crate your dog if needed. I do let my dog on the couch and our bed, but I am happy to set any boundaries with your pup that you request.

“Iyana was great start to finish! She responded promptly to my initial request and was communicative throughout booking. She and her partner were friendly and polite. We got lots of pics of my dog throughout his stay at their home and he came home happy and healthy! Would definitely use Iyana again!”

Gillian M.

About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.

About: I previously volunteered at the SPCA walking dogs, caring for kitties, and tending to the smaller pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc.) in addition to being a dog walker for Rover clients. I have experience with all types of animal personalities and am very attentive to any special instructions considering every dog/cat has their own quirks. I will provide you with picture updates during my visit (maybe even a stylish little photoshoot) and treat your animals with love & attentive care, as I know I would want for my own 2 cats. I also have experience training dogs and can offer advice/lessons if requested. I’ve worked from home for the past 7 years, so I love any excuse to hang out with animals and get outside. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to help! I adhere to the pet parents requests and also do the tasks that I feel are common sense like check the water bowl, make sure the pet had no accidents, give some treats and then lock up on my way out.

“Huy is great. Mochi seems to feel right at home!”

David M.

About: My family owned medium to large dogs growing up, so I am well experienced with handling the day to day needs of caring for different types of dogs. Since then, I often dog sit for my two friends who have husky mixes, and have dog sat for parents of friends and co-workers as well. My cousin is a professional dog trainer, and my mother is a self proclaimed "dog whisperer", so I have picked up several tips in the trade over the years as well. I am a professional real estate agent, so my schedule is very flexible. I own the brokerage, so I am often in office. However, no one else comes in often, so I bring dogs I pet sit to work all the time. I have a dog bed and dog toys in my home. If my client lets their dog on the couch and bed, I will do so as well. If not, I am good about keeping them off of furniture. I have a nice sized 2 bedroom condo for them to roam around, but will take them for several walks. I do not keep dog food, bowls, or treats in the house, so those would need to be provided by the owner.

“Reach out to Ana day of request and she was able to help out. She was prompt and detailed sending acouple pictures and the route she took walking Teddy. Highly recommend”

Brian S.

About: I am a dog mom myself and I grew up with a poodle for 16 years. I’ve lived with and cared for a cat for 2 years and am the go-to pet sitter for friends when needed! I have experience with city dog walking, overnight or drop-in pet sitting, and medication administration. I have significant experience with senior dogs, am active and resilient in keeping up with younger dogs, and I'm game to help train. While my "expertise" and experience is with dogs, I love and have been a cat sitter for friends and neighbors and am not a novice. Because I’m a dog mom myself in an apartment I am unable to offer boarding, but I would love to help you out with drop-ins, walks, or house sittings this spring and summer! I’m lucky to have the time to offer my services and I understand the expectations and care an owner has when booking accommodations for their pet and I strive to provide that in return! I work part time during nights so I am flexible through the daytime and most nights a week/end. Happy to be of service for your last minute drop ins/walks in a pinch too! I have experience with drop-in/walking, house sitting, and overnight pet sitting. It’s important to me that your pet is comfortable, safe, happy and in as familiar and safe an environment as I can provide for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the anxiety and occasional frustrations with securing pet care when you’re away and I feel strongly about providing a loving and hospitable service to a client. I’m fortunate to have the availability for pet care right now and want to be available in any capacity I can for Philadelphia dog parents as the weather warms up.

We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”

Molly H.

“We were in town for just a few hours and Chelsea took care of our goldendoodle, giving her lots of love. Would definitely use again if back in Philadelphia!”

“Allison was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly with Helios. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Used to stress about getting back from vacation to get our dog from the kennel. Not anymore. I feel so relieved to have our girl stay with Kathryn. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Aaron was super communicative, flexible, and responsible. He and his wife have a gentle and kind way about them. They read my (long) instructions and asked questions to be sure he would get his medicine the right way. They were flexible and gracious about my changes in schedule at both drop-off and pick-up. They took care of Charlie for 2 nights while I visited Philadelphia. After Charlie and I headed home, we realized that his prescription food was still at Aaron's house. Aaron apologized and immediately shipped the food overnight to me, which I'm sure cost a huge fraction of what they received for sitting Charlie. Glitches happen; this was the perfect way to handle it. I'll happily leave Charlie with Aaron and his wife the next time I'm in Philly.”

“Lauren is extremely responsive during booking and was quick to schedule a meet and greet with our dog Ozzy. She sent lots of pictures to reassure us each day we were away, which we really appreciated. Ozzy was happy and tired when he returned home, so it seems like he enjoyed his weekend away too.”

“Lana was an excellent sitter for our dog over an extra long weekend. We appreciated her communication and photos and we knew our pup was in good hands. Would recommend 10/10!!”
