“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅.

“Renee was absolutely amazing watching our dog Winston for two weeks while we were in Italy. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She constantly kept us updated with photos, messages, and little check-ins, which honestly made being away from him so much easier. It genuinely felt like Winston was on his own vacation while we were gone! You could tell he was so loved, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Renee went above and beyond in every way, and we came home to a very happy dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, caring, and truly passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Renee enough. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I am a dog owner who just moved to Philly. My puppy is 5 years old and I have had her since she was 12 weeks old, so I know how to take care (walk, bathe, feed, potty breaks, identify aggressive dogs to stay away etc.) and basic train a puppy well. I am passionate about learning how to keep dogs happy and healthy; what they want is very simple - to be with their pack, exercise, eat, and sleep well. I cannot be more happy when they are running around, playing with dog friends (if they are up to it), and munching on yummy food! I have also taken care of other small and big adult dogs (shih tzu, spitz, husky, corgi) since I was 16 for my family and my neighbors. I have walked them, brushed them, bathed them. I am happy to walk dogs when I walk my own puppy in the morning or in the evening. My schedule is relatively flexible since I am home and free most of the time especially on week days. I often walk dogs at Rittenhouse Square. I can readily walk my dog and yours any time. My residence is a one-bedroom apartment, so it would be plenty of space for small to medium dogs. I am also only a few blocks away from an animal hospital if any unfortunate emergencies occur. I am a student at UPenn and my partner works in a tech job, so at least one of us will work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I walk dogs 2-3 times every day, usually once in the morning and twice in the evening. I have a 5-year-old Pomsky (small-medium sized) to keep your dog company! She is super friendly, calm, and well-trained, and I’m sure they will have a good time together! :)
“Julie and Peter are fantastic!! Our dog is recovering from a broken leg and they took great care of her! We didn’t have to worry about a thing from the moment we met them. We will definitely use them in the future. Thank you again for taking care of Zoey!”
“Brooke was the best sitter!! She was fantastic with my Pitbull dog Jerry, and very accommodating to his needs, and very receptive to my litany of notes / instructions on what to expect with him, how to manage him, and overall what sort of attention/ care to provide him. She was very patient, she actually took notes, and I can tell that Jerry felt comfortable & secure in her care. Would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter! She also has her own dog, Snow, who is very sweet and great with other dogs. She gave Jerry lots of good company”

“Ari was fantastic… flexible & so incredibly helpful during a chaotic time. Not only was Ari able & willing to properly care for my sister’s cats (one who is incontinent), she went above & beyond to tidy up where she could without overstepping by any means. Ari’s simultaneous empathy, helpfulness, & professionalism were massive blessings in a time of great need. 💜”

“We love Ellen! She does a wonderful job taking care of our babies, and they haven’t wanted to make it easy on her. This poor woman has repotted so many plants and cleaned up so much dirt from the chaos our youngest cat creates 😭. Thank you Ellen! We are grateful for you.”
“Nina has been wonderful with Roxy and very communicative! She makes sure to send great updates and listens carefully to all instructions. Would definitely recommend Nina!”

She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and skilled when it came to administering oral medicine for our very shy cat and went above and beyond to ensure he received it safely and as needed.

“I needed a sitter on very short notice, and Zyi (sorry if I spelled your name wrong 😓) was incredibly accommodating! She was quick to respond to messages, kept me updated throughout the stay, and made me feel completely at ease. My dog is also on medication, and Zyi was very attentive, making sure to double-check all of the instructions with me. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and comfort. I had a great experience and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Pat was very patient with both Sammy and myself, especially in trying to find his apartment! I had a very stressful day and kept getting confused. Sammy was a rescue with a horrible background and Pat was very careful handling him. Pat took him out for walks several times and Sammy loved being out on his patio! Pat sent several updates and pictures of Sammy during the day. Will be using him every time I go into Philly for my medical appointments.”
“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!”
“Kanade was amazing!! Our dog is picky with people, but she connected with Kanade right away. Kanade and her husband made Ruggie feel right at home. Thank you for taking great care of our pup!”
“John was awesome with my puppy Blue! Super appreciate how flexible he was. He accepted my booking request the night before my pup’s visit, and was flexible to accommodate my late night pick-up (and the option for Blue to stay the night if needed). The text updates and pictures sent made me feel so much better over Blue’s stay too as it was my first time getting a sitter. Thank you John!”
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“Glenda is so wonderful! She has become my go to sitter for my new rescue. She has been both flexible and communicative about coordinating scheduling and sends cute photo updates throughout the day.”
“Kiara was great! She sent me plenty of updates throughout the day and I could tell Butters was enjoying himself in all of the videos and pictures. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Ariella was such a wonderful sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my very anxious dog. With a nervous dog, it can be stressful leaving her with someone new for the first time since you never know how it’s gonna go, but Ariella provided regular updates, which was much appreciated and put me so much more at ease. I would absolutely book another visit for my dog with Ariella next time the opportunity arises!”
“Jacob is so great with Nadja. They go to the park and she gets plenty of play time. She comes home exhausted! He takes such good care of her and sends us updates frequently. Definitely recommend putting your babies in Jacob’s care”

“Emily was so sweet and kept me updated on how my baby was doing throughout the day. She was very quick to respond and flexible. I could tell Peachy was comfortable with her and had a positive day in her care.”
“So happy with the entire experience! Samantha took such good care of my Banjo, sent pictures the entire day and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend and will keep her in mind if I need someone to watch Banjo in the future!”

“Ari is such a lifesaver, life events that don’t allow for pet travel occur without warning and Ari took the best care of my puppy with out hesitation wheni was called away on duty. She is prompt, communicative absolutely the overall best!!”
“Jovelle is a dream! My dogs LOVED her and got excited when they realized it walk time. She was so helpful and made an unforeseen stressful situation so easy for me!!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of dogs before ranging from frenchies to huskies. I also had a small, reactive dog growing up so am aware of the challenges that come with caring for a reactive pet. I absolutely adore all different types of animals though and am very adaptable to different situations/breeds/personalities. I am a medical student so am able to provide services at nearly all hours of the day, whether this is dog walking, pet sitting, or any other needs you require. I will make sure to provide your furry friend with the attention and love they deserve while you are unavailable as if they were my own pets :) I currently am a medical student, so have pretty flexible availability during the week days. My weekends are generally completely free. This means that whenever you may need a helping hand, chances are I am available! I live in a pet-friendly condo by myself, so there would be no other animals around to worry about. If pet sitting in your home, I would obviously be very respectful and clean. I have house-sat in the past and always leaving the space looking as it was.
“Diana took amazing care of Rocky and Jiji while we were away! She was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures! I would highly recommend Diana to all looking for someone to take excellent care of their pets!”
“If you would like for your pup to have a 5star experience, Ed is who you call. He went above and beyond to take care of our puppy dog while we were out of town. Ed was on time and had great communication throughout, I would recommend and we will definitely be using him again. Thanks again Ed! Really appreciate you”
“Gregory accepted a last minute booking to walk our dog and ended up walking her twice, feeding her dinner and giving her medicine. She was a happy dog when we came home and his pictures and communication were great. Can’t wait to have him walk our dog more regularly!”
About: I have been bringing strays in since I was a kid, and now 30+ years later I am nurturing the love of my pets ever since. With a myriad of different dog, cat, and fish breeds over time I have grown to learn the different care and needs that pets deserve. Above all else, food and water, LOVE rules. I work remotely in my full-time career as a CAD Drafter in the Steel industry. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets anytime during the day and live 2 blocks from City Hall so I keep my clients in walking distance so it is easy and efficient for everyone. I build a safe environment with your own home to make sure your pets are well taken care of, watched, cleaned up after, and walked at a convenient and organized schedule that fits your needs.
About: I’ve been able to care for dogs (both young and old) for extended periods of time and have always been able to ensure their safety and comfort This is my full-time job for now, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to the needs of you and your adorable dogs :) I’m very flexible when it comes to a dog’s needs. If they have specific routines that need to be followed or medications taken at a certain time, I can make sure those expectations are met
“Maddy was so wonderful while walking my dog. We were completely unavailable during the requested time, and Maddy was able to make sure all of my dog’s needs were met! There are so many great photos of the walk, and Maddy made sure to keep my dog safe”
“Katrina is the absolute best!! She was so patient and kind with my nervous dog and went above and beyond. Felt so relieved to have her watching him. Definitely recommend!”
“Mason was absolutely wonderful! He walked our dog with such care and reliability — showed up right on time, sent updates along the way, and brought our pup back happy and tired. Even though it was just a one-time walk, you could tell he genuinely loves dogs. Would book again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!”
“Allison was awesome with my pup! She arrived on time, took him on a great walk, and left him happy and tuckered out :) Super communicative and willing to adapt to my dog’s needs. I’ll be booking her again!”
“Miri made a wonderful first impression on us, and she is doing a great job with my dog, Paco. Miri is positive, friendly and easy to talk to. And she’s very reliable and is always on time. Paco loves his walks, and he demonstrates that by jumping and dancing around with excitement when she arrives. That’s what a mother likes to see! Miri pays attention to him, sends us wonderful pictures of Paco out gallivanting in the wild, and documents his activities and any concerns she has on his Report Card promptly. This effort is appreciated and assures me that he is in good hands with her. Recently his paws hurt from the snow and he did not want to walk further so Miri reported that she even carried him home!! Paco needs some new “Dog Marten’s”. I highly recommend booking with Miri!”
“Tarik walked my dog for the first time and was great. He was responsive, took great care of my pup who was a little apprehensive about walking with a stranger but he made her feel relaxed and comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend Tarik!”
“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”
About: Both Catherine and Blake grew up with dogs in the house. We met at grad school at Villanova and are saving up for a pup of our own in Old City. We miss our time with dogs and would love to play with and help care for those in the neighborhood! We also have experience cat sitting in our apartment building. Both Catherine and Blake are work-from- home engineers. Our remote jobs allow us to have a flexible schedule any day! (Morning, lunch, night, anytime) Catherine and Blake live in a small apartment together. It would be best we come visit your pet in home or take them on a walk!
About: Dog lover with several years experience caring for/owning dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I also have experience in dogs with special needs, medical needs, and diet restrictions, as my dog is diabetic and requires injections. I worked in the medical field and have experience recognizing medical emergencies and am trained in dog CPR. My dog and I like to go for long walks through the neighborhood or to the local park. Your dog will have a safe, and hopefully exhausting, time with me! Please let me know if you have ANY questions prior to booking. I would like to know any special requests prior to booking and would love to do a visit prior to any boardings. Rachel
