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!”

About: My experience is primarily with dogs. My family’s dog lived to be 16 who developed blindness and needed many oral and topical medications. I have dog sat for neighborhood families, family members, and friends with dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels. I also lived with and helped care for a roommates cat for part of college. I am a nurse rotating between day and night shift so my schedule varies but allows for flexibility! I love to go on walks so I would love for your pet to join my routine! I will ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in its surroundings through establishing clear and consistent communication with you to better understand their needs.
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 have been working around/living with dogs for my entire life. I will always be sure to give your pups extra love and attention while they are missing you while following all of your requests. Walks and playtime or whatever you want can be done at whatever intervals your request. I can also take dogs to the wonderful, award winning, local dog parks. Since they will be missing you, I will be sure to provide extra love and care to make them comfortable while they are staying with me. I live right by an animal hospital in case of emergencies as well. I also am very familiar with any dog allergies/things they cannot eat. I am careful to keep anything dangerous out of reach and off of counters.
“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!”
“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: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”

“Brian was wonderful. Lulu told me so. I was just so relieved to know she was taken care of and loved while I was on a day trip. I didn’t have to worry, and Brian kept me posted with confirmation on visit times and the cutest photos ever. Lulu can’t wait to see him again. She told me so.”
“Thank you, Brittany. We are so grateful to you for taking care of Daphne - and we loved the pic and updates. It was a relief knowing she was i. Your hands!! Many thanks!”
About: Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.
“Chris looked after our pups again this past weekend. Our dogs can be very anxious but he is always patient and takes his time to make sure they are comfortable. He definitely goes above and beyond & we love that he keeps us updated while we’re away. Thanks Chris!”
