“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“Eric and Raz were wonderful!! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them. Highly recommend and hope to use them again the next time we’re in Philly!”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”

“Zyiana was a GREAT caretaker for my beagle. This was my first time leaving spot with a sitter and she made it such an easy and comforting experience. She kept spot for 3 nights and gave consistent updates and photos about my dog, she was very attentive and caring, didn’t even leave out the cuddles/snuggles. She was also very detail oriented and followed instructions given. I highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Deena was so good with my dog for the week I left him with her! She sent pics/vids without me asking, and even may have found a food he will actually eat consistently (he's picky).. Book her. You're welcome.”
“Junebug is well loved and taken care of at Nicole's house! Our dog is a high energy puppy and was in very good hands as Nicole is an experienced dog lover, and even helped Junebug learn to calm down a little better in the evenings. She came back acting more mature than when we dropped her off:) ”

“So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“This was our second time booking with Katie, and we could not be happier with the care she provided our two cats while we were away. She also kept us updated with great photos and cute (and informative) messages. Thanks so much Katie!”
“Edward is always communicating with me about Moon, he does a really great job and I call tell Moon really likes him from the photos he sends! Will continue to book with Edward for the time being :)”
“Alex was great! Awesome updates, details, and pics. I was never worried while I was gone and the place was immaculate when I got home. My cat Evie can be very needy and she warmed up to Alex really quickly. Alex gave her plenty of attention and let Evie call the shots on how she wanted attention and affection, which was perfect. Highly recommend, I will be definitely be reaching out to her again for my next trip.”
“Another perfect experience with Angela as our cat sitter while we were away for 10 days. Our cat, Sophie, is the “no new friends” type, but she gets along so well with Angela. It really is a comfort to know she is in good hands. Thanks Angela!”
“Tricia is my new favorite person. Not only was she a BREEZE to communicate with, she went above and beyond for my boys. Every day she went over she gave a detailed report with tons of pictures and videos. It made me feel so much better knowing she was there. Do not hesitate to book Tricia as your sitter. She is incredible.”
About: We have been watching dogs throughout college and grad school at our house by the shore for 7 years. We wanted to continue watching our furry friends in the city! My boyfriend’s family bred Golden Retrievers growing up, and we are both very responsible and communicative with our stays. We have a 4 month old kitten who LOVES animals of all sizes! My boyfriend and I are both teachers! We have the exact same schedule and are home every day at 3pm as well as off weekends and holidays! We take our dogs on walks at the local park! If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem! We have a very quiet street and a lot of places to make sure they get the exercise they need!
“Followed our instructions to a T and went beyond even that. Also very efficient and had time even in a 30 minute session to play with our cats. They took to her quickly and seemed very happy when we got back. Could not recommend her more highly!”
“Joe was great with the cats and immediately earned their trust. He went above and beyond cleaning up cat bowls and one throw up incident. Thank you, Joe!”
“Sally was great! She sent photos each time she checked on my cat, and played with him. Thanks so much for being reliable and taking good care of my boy 🐈”
About: I have shared living spaces with cats all my life. I have taken care of those I have lived with and clients' cats for all of my adult life. I specialize in high needs cats, medically or behaviorally as I understand how to read, approach, and respect them. Looking forward to learning your kits!
“Taylor went above and beyond to keep in contact with me and let me know how my fur baby was doing when I was away. Bella thoroughly enjoyed her time with Taylor and we will be booking her again. Thanks again!”
“Juli’s messages and photos from each drop-in visit were the highlights of my days away from home. So thorough and caring, and I always know that when I leave my cat in Juli’s care, I don’t need to worry at all.”
“Chastity did such an amazing job taking care of my cats, and was so communicative with me - sharing photos and updates unprompted! I came home so some happy and healthy kitties! :)”
“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”

“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 was really nervous about leaving my 6 pound chihuahua with a new person while I went to work during the day. With 3 of 4 legs not working, and a weak bladder, Pinky is quite fragile. Her stay with Madeline was wonderful. She coaxed her to eat, separated her from all dogs except her little terrier, and was forgiving of Pinky’s incontinence. While I hope tomorrow at Pinky’s neurologist visit we can get some answers and Pinky will be strong enough to be left alone after the holidays, if we need daycare again we will definitely be back.”
“Barthalomew was super flexible and helpful with my dog Pumpkin. She had a great time with him and his dog. He was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will be using his services again”
“Chris did an amazing job making sure Rue (who was having some digestive issues the day of day care), was comfortable and supported, and that he fit in well with the other dogs. Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“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”
“Alex was great with Beluga! Super flexible, took plenty of pictures, it's evident that on a scorching hot day, Alex was able to provide Beluga with plenty of relaxing space to hang out and cool down :)”
“Kanade is so lovely and took incredible care of our pupper. I recommend her highly for all of your pet care needs - she sent lots of pictures, Lucy came back happy and calm and clearly was well loved.”
“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”
“Ruby was great! I appreciate her helping me out for three days. I was in need of a sitter for my puppy because I didn’t want him home alone for hours. She was very friendly, great communicator and sweet towards my pup. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Helen was fantastic! She was very responsive, easy to coordinate with, and provided updates on my boy while I was away. Pickup and drop-off were both seamless, and I felt confident he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Helen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
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.
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.
“Devon took such great care of Beans! Beans loves her so much and he had such a good time. She took lots of pictures and he was so enriched with his visit he slept through the night and morning! Highly recommend Devon!!”
“Camilla is responsive, flexible, and really considerate. She sensed that I’d be reassured to know that my pup was settling in well and kept me informed.”
About: Hi! I am a dedicated dog lover with three years of experience caring for pups. I’ve spent the last few years pet-sitting for families and watching dogs for my friends, and I’ve learned that every dog is unique—some need a long run, while others just want a quiet spot to nap. I pride myself on being calm and patient. I know meeting someone new can be stressful for a dog, so I always take things at their pace to make sure they feel safe and secure from the moment we meet. My Routine & Activity I am a very active person and love staying moving. If you have a high-energy dog who loves to stay active, I’m the perfect match! I live right near a wonderful park, which is where I spend a lot of my time. My routine includes: Morning and afternoon runs: If your dog is a runner, I’d love to have a partner! Park walks: Plenty of fresh air and mental stimulation at the nearby park. Cuddle time: When we aren't out exploring, I am a big fan of cuddling and making sure your dog feels loved and relaxed. What I Offer Tailored care: I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure their specific needs and schedules are met. A safe environment: I provide a calm, safe space where your dog can feel right at home, whether they prefer lounging on the carpet or snuggling up. Plenty of attention: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your furry family member the focus and affection they deserve while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your pup and providing a fun, safe, and loving experience for them! I work from home, which grants me significant flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to prioritize your dog’s needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk in the nearby park, or a midday run for high-energy pups. In My Home When a dog stays with me, I focus on creating a seamless transition from their usual routine. Since I work from home, I am able to provide constant supervision and companionship. Your dog will have the freedom to lounge comfortably while I work, with plenty of breaks for play and cuddles. Being located right near a park means we can head out for fresh air and exercise whenever they need a boost of energy. In Your Home For drop-in visits or house sitting, my priority is maintaining the environment where your pet feels most secure. I stick closely to the schedule you’ve built, ensuring feedings, walks, and medications happen exactly on time. I use my work-from-home flexibility to spend quality time in your space, providing not just the essentials, but also the mental stimulation and physical activity—like runs or long walks—that keeps dogs happy while their owners are away. My Approach to Care Safety First: I always keep dogs on a leash during outings and stay alert to their body language. Active Engagement: I love going on runs and walks to ensure high-energy dogs get their heart rate up. Open Communication: I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is having a great time.

“Kaydee deserves more then the 5 stars alotted. She has made our family feel safe and at ease in taking care of our pup. He’s a large German Shepherd with a lot of energy and you can tell he loves her. I get a picture, update and message each day when she walks him. We are so happy and so is our boy!”
“Natalie has been wonderful with Bixby. She's worked with us as we navigate this new energetic pup into our lives by providing both care for Bixby and frequent updates to us during his weekday walks!”
About: I've been an animal lover as long as i can remember. I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and geckos. As a professional pet companion, I have a handful of dedicated dog walking, checking, and house sitting clients as well as cat friends! I am looking forward to getting to know your pets personal preferences and supporting them live their best lives! I specialize in training dogs and supporting high needs pets in continuing their routines as close to normal in your absence! I have some existing dog walking/training clients and would love to add more. Let's have some adventures and promote your pets' wellness!! Flexible scheduling available. It is a vulnerable experience to allow folks into your home or to care for your loved ones. I appreciate the gravity of this and hold security and privacy in the highest regards. Can also provide references.

“Taylor is amazing! My dogs are my babies and she took such great care of them! You can tell she really loves dogs and I was completely at ease with her caring for both of my pups. We will definitely being using Taylor for future!”
About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.
“Thanks for being so patient with Rydyk on such hot days, it’s not his favorite. So good to see he still got a good walk in and some extra pets at home!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have always had a deep love and respect for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior pet that needs extra patience and gentle care, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine and provide attentive, reliable care whenever they need it, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and are always supervised in a safe environment. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jackie is soooo amazing with Dolly on their weekly walks. She gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at school. She goes above and beyond and even taught her how to use the stairs (she used to really struggle with this before Jackie)! So grateful and 100% recommend!!”

I feel very comfortable knowing Hoagie is in her care. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“We use Rover when we travel. Knowing we would be at Disney World I wanted one sitter for 3 times a day for all 6 days. I was able to communicate with Pam before I even left California. Was able to get all the days set up in advance and a commitment to all of the days. The day we arrived at Fort Wilderness Pam came over for a meet and greet. She as just lovely. During the time she sat for us we changed times of walks and needed additional help. She stepped up to all changes in such a helpful way. She was instrumental in our vacation being a success!!”
“Christopher helped us out for a last minute request to walk my dog. He was so attentive to all my requests and went above and beyond to help. I knew my dog was in good company with Christopher. I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him! Thank you!”

Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.”
“Very pleased! This was our first time using a Petsitter outside of our family/friends and we couldn’t have been more impressed. I know our pup was in super hands.

“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.

Communication was great and I will not hesitate to use her again”
