“Jennifer and her family took awesome care of our puppy (a 3 month old Dachshund). It is apparent from the second you meet Jennifer that she is a lover of all furry creatures and we felt immediately at ease. While we were away, Jennifer sent frequent pictures and updates of our puppy and his activities so we knew what he was up to and that he was being loved and cared for. We feel lucky to have found Jennifer - 11/10!!”
“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!”
“Yuico took excellent care of Zoë. She provided regular updates with photos. Zoë was a happy pupper when we picked her up. Thank you for taking care of her Yuico.”
“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”
“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Milissa was amazing with Thor! Even with Thor’s separation anxiety, she was patient, attentive, and handled him so well. She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell Thor was well cared for and in good hands. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again.”
“Janet is a lovely woman who took excellent care of Grover while my husband and I were away. She sent us updates and pictures and answered my texts quickly. She was extra patient during our introductory meetings and made sure that our little terrier mix who is normally-wary-of-strangers was comfortable being around her and in her home. I highly recommend Janet and will definitely book with her in the future ☺️”
“Zyiana was great! She was so flexible to accommodate my travel times. She sent great pics and videos during updates giving me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Was very happy to know my dog was in good hands. Consistent updates and pictures from Emiline nade sure i was kept anxiety free and in the loop during lokis stay. Pictures showed him visibly comfortable at her place. Hope to have him stay over again the next time I travel. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being accommodating not just to my dog but also to me.”
“My social and active mini poodle mix Marigold has the best time at Yuhan’s. She spent a day there in preparation for a 10 day overnight stay. When I picked her up, I could see Marigold inside hanging out with the other dogs and she looked so comfortable and happy. Marigold did great on the 10 day stay and when we went to get her, I think our dog was considering extending her stay at Yuhan’s. We will definitely rebook.”
“I’ll be the first to tell you I was nervous to leave my two girls in a home where I knew there would be other dogs given one’s anxiety and one’s barking reactivity. I could not be more pleased with how well Joseph did at keeping me updated, alleviating my anxiety, and giving my girls the opportunity to experience a new environment and successfully socialize with other dogs! They did so well! He was so patient with me and them, and I will 1000% bring them back to his care again. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Ari was amazing!! He treated Genie so well he updated me often with photos and videos and he was so detailed in his updates. I trusted him wholeheartedly and he accommodated us so well with genie I appreciate him so so much and will absolutely be booking him again when needed 🥹❤️❤️ thank you again, Ari!!!!”
“Lucy had the best time with Shadow and Kerry! It was the first time I’ve left Lucy with anyone another than family and it was so good knowing she was well taken care of. Kerry sent plenty of updates on their time and how much fun the pups were having. I can tell Lucy already misses them and can’t wait to go back.”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“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!”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“Christin was amazing! I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before. She kept us informed of all the progress and we know Kiwi ended up relaxing and having a great time. Totally recommended and would totally rebook. Thank you!”

“We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.”
“Ava was really great with our cat while we were away. We can tell from the pictures that she was attentive and loving. Ava has great communication and we will definitely rebook!”
“I was very pleased with Keri's care for our two cats. I appreciated that she took notes during our meet and greet about what we wanted and while we were gone she did everything that we requested, including refilling our backyard bird feeder. She sent notes and pictures that documented what she did and how our cats were doing.”
“We would have Jaclyn pet sit our cats any time. She is professional, courteous and responds quickly thru messages. We have 4 cats so that can be overwhelming but she made easy work of it all. Thank you again!”
“Haeley was a great communicator and took care of my boys while I was away! They seemed pretty happy with her and I could tell the cats enjoyed her company. :)”
“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!”
“Jackie has been wonderful! It was amazing to see how quickly our cat bonded with her. I have a great deal of piece-of-mind while away that my cat is being very well cared for. Jackie is a great communicator (and pet photographer) :) She has also been very flexible and helpful when my schedule has needed changing. So happy to have met her!”
“Julia is amazing! She took such great care of our cats. She’s super timely and has great communication skills. I didn’t feel worried at all while we were away. I’ll definitely be using Julia’s services again in the future!”
“This is my 2nd time having Jamilah watching my cats and will certainly use her again! Reliable and great communication. Kitties feel at ease with her. She gets on the floor and interacts with them and talks to them, saying their names. So important they have this connection while I'm away!”
“Shelby took great care of our cats while we were away. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and she carefully fulfilled all our requests. Thanks so much, Shelby!”
“Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I always wanted a dog but wasn’t allowed. Growing up I had a few animals cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, Gerbil, Bird and fish. I would always feed the stray cats in my neighborhood and cared for stray kittens. Unfortunately, now I can’t have cats because my son’s allergy. We have a wonderful dog now.. Her name is Kyra. She’s one years old. She is considered a teddy bear dog, her breed is call shih-poo. She brings me so much joy and comfort.. I love her dearly. Having her make me want more dogs. My best option is pet sitting. I’ve cared for many of my family pets. I love spending time with them and caring for them. I look forward to meeting many new buddies. I work at a school. I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“We had a last minute booking with Joseph for a funeral that was out of town for us. From the beginning, Joseph was super accommodating and sent videos and pictures throughout his whole stay. Onyx had the time of his life. He was sleep within 5 minutes of us driving home. We will ABSOLUTELY book again with Joseph next time we’re in Philly.”
“We are very pleased with Daisy’s care provided by Yuhan for the whole day. She had a chance to socialize with other dogs and appeared to have a good time.”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”
About: Hi there! I’m a dog trainer and co-owner of Philadelphia’s first Dog Bus, a mobile doggy daycare. I work with dogs every day and can accommodate 1–2 dogs for boarding or daycare.☺️ Our groups are small and carefully selected, so your pup must be friendly with other dogs. 🙏🏻 I also have a 7-year-old daughter and a few other animals besides my own dog—a cat, rabbit, canary, and fish. ☺️ They’re all used to having boarding dogs around. My life is centered around helping dog owners & shelter dogs, so I work with dogs every single day. Your pup can go with us to our daily adventures on the Dog Bus! I always make sure my dogs & client's dog have clean water and regular meal schedule. Daily long walks are very important as well. I do my best to make their environment clean, safe and escape-proofed.
“Mary sent many photos and updates during my dog’s daycare stay with her. It looks like he had a great time with nice little adventures! I would book Mary as a sitter again, easy!”
“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!”
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their people are away. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who require gentler care and a watchful eye. I pride myself on noticing the little things such as changes in behavior, eating habits, or comfort so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to help you out! Just let me know when assistance is needed and I can more than likely be there. I have a small fenced in yard, and I live in a house with my brother, who also loves dogs. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable and safe space to relax, with plenty of attention and outdoor breaks (for dogs). I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to so they feel at ease and cared for.
“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 😊”
“Douglas was really quick to respond and take my dog on a day's notice. My dog was perfectly at ease with him and his dogs. Would definitely seek out Douglas again if the need arose.”
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.
“Rhea is always fantastic with Kaju! Her like her own and it helps that my dog and her dog are basically long lost lovers. Arlo is a fantastic pup and gets along with my dog beautifully and I know Kaju has tons of fun when she is there! Rhea took kaju on a long walk an sent multiple videos and pictures through out the day. She’s great!!!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a small child. We started off with cats, eventually owned dogs. I also have experience with birds, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I even held a tarantula once! As an adult, I’ve also had cats, and dogs, and have experience house breaking puppies, and caring for new mama cats and their kittens. I feel animals are usually very drawn to me. I have years of providing comfort, engagement, nourishment, and administering medication for different animals. As a pre-teen, I once had a very sick cat that almost died, and I slowly brought her back to health. This, in turn, created an unbreakable bond between us. At the moment I’m currently going to school part time and taking a few classes, so my schedule is open, and I’m very flexible. Just let me know what your needs are. I don’t have a yard due to living in an apartment, but I have plenty of space in my home. I feel that trust, consistency, and patience and lots of love are top priority when your fur baby is with me.

“Jaclyn is a GREAT walker!! My princess can be a little difficult to handle, but she does a wonderful job of getting her to behave & walk to go potty! Nia looks forward to Jaclyn's time with her! Great job, Jacylyn!!”
“Maureen was a life-saver. I am recovering from surgery and my Mercedes being an early riser with a specific morning routine. It was hard. She was extremely anxious with seeing me in bed and unable to carry her and keeping her morning routine was nearly impossible. She had become increasingly anxious. Maureen came in every morning on time at 6 am, let Mercedes out, fed her and walk her. She gave Mercedes belly rubs, lots loving and Mercedes calmed down. Maureen followed my directions, was puntual and gave TLC to Mercedes and was polite with us. She noted concerns when needed . Though minor, we were able to deal with the issues right away. Everything worked like a charm. I thank God that I was able to connect with Maureen and she was overall EXCELLENT. Mercedes calmed down and was excited to see Maureen. She took a load off us on the most difficult part of my recovery. Surely a God sent.”
“Keri was so wonderful with our dog, Scout. She had great communication and provided us with so many photos so we could be comfortable Scout was in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is really responsive and always communicative. She’s walked my dog multiple times and I’ve always been so happy with her. I wi continue to book her in the future! Highly recommend :)”
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds including not just cats and dogs, I currently care for 2 cats and 2 dogs and love them all. I volunteered at an animal shelter for multiple years and want to continue animal based experiences! I work currently part time but often have my weekends free and enjoy a good walk after getting off of my job, I do part time teacher work so the mental refresh is helpful I believe in utmost safety priority, including surveying surroundings constantly for threats, adjusting to it situationally and avoiding drawing attention to it incase it excites the animal.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for a couple of months, including regularly dog sitting for my neighbor. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, and playing with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's daily check-ins or longer stays, I treat every dog like they're my own. I’m currently working a part time job that has me having many off days, so with that time I care for my dog way more. I created a stronger bond with my dog since I have much time.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
About: As a fur parent I know how important it is to receive updates and reliable pet care. I make sure to communicate as frequently as you’d like! I have experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals. If you want frequent updates….I gotcha. Pictures…no sweat. I’d love to help. I’m clean, communicative, responsible, and flexible.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have been caring for pets around my neighborhood for about two years. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have 2 years of hands on experience providing dedicated pet care through pet sitting for my neighbors and friends. My responsibilities have included caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of various breeds and temperaments. I follow detailed care instructions provided by each pet owner, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special dietary needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention every day. I do also work part time on certain days. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I begin by gathering detailed information about each pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical history, and behavior. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space by maintaining cleanliness and ensuring all areas accessed by the pet remain secure and organized. I monitor the pet closely, engage them in appropriate physical and mental activities, and provide companionship to ensure they feel safe and cared for. Whether at home or on-site, I am attentive, patient, and responsive to each animal’s unique needs, always aiming to create a nurturing and trustworthy environment.

I was a little worried because my puppy (Kiwi) is still very timid and suspicious of strangers, but Christin was very understanding and confident, that it was clear she's worked with difficult dogs before.

“Hunter stayed with Cindy overnight and from the moment we met her she made us feel very comfortable leaving Hunter with her. She gave constant updates via pictures and videos, we loved hearing from her. She made sure he was comfortable. We’re definitely going to have Hunter stay with her again, because as she said goodbye when he got dropped off, he made Bambi eyes like he almost didn’t want her to leave!”
“My standard poodle has stayed with Rebecca twice now. She sends tons of photos and videos and is super communicative which I really appreciate. Finn was really excited to see her again and that says it all to me. Definitely a sitter I trust and hope to use again!”
“Emelie and her family took very good care of dog. She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages which was much appreciated. She has a terrific fenced in back yard which allows dogs to run around in a safe environment. Thank you Emelie!”
“Vanessa took care of my dog buddy as if he was her own. Buddy had a blast playing with her boys and it was so reassuring to know that she and her family cared for him so well. Thank you!”
“Jackie is amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppers with someone and I was super anxious. Jackie was very kind and welcoming, answered any questions and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She sent me pictures and gave me updates, and he looked happy and cozy. I would definitely trust her with Rex again in the future!!”
“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.”
“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!”
