I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”

“Ginger was amazing! She really helped us out in a last minute situation and took great care of our dog. She sent photo updates which I really appreciated. We don't leave/travel too often, and the photos just showed us how happy our dog was staying with Ginger. She was comfy and clearly made some friends and enjoyed getting lots of attention! We plan to use Ginger again when we travel in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a private sitter over a kennel.”

“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.

Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“We recently traveled for a family vacation and for the first time had to leave our boys Jasper and Pablo (cats) behind. It was a nerve racking feeling! I did some research and came across Kitty’s profile. I knew immediately that she would be a perfect fit for our boys. The communication was on point at all times. She updated us with photos of them and gave us little details of their behavior and activities. We only had to provide the food, she provided everything else. They returned home happy and so well behaved, we think she trained them because they were already good boys but came back even better. She also sent them home with a toy that Jasper loves and the cutest “catlander”. Kitty was flexible with time and availability. My only complaint is that I know that they love her more than they love us lol I’m ok with that. Kitty has loyal clients with us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.”
“Carly is awesome! We did a 3-night stay and her frequent communication and daily updates as well as photos gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible when our pick-up time ran a little later than expected. Highly recommend her services and will rebook in the future!”

“Anne was just what my cats needed. When she first came over to meet them, I expected them to hide as they usually do with someone new. Instead, they came to visit with her and they let her pet them. Every day we were away we received pictures, which means they came down to see her each time. Anne has just become our favorite person to care for them when we go away!”
“Breanna came to my home on a recurring basis to watch my cats and check my mail while we were out of town for an extended period. She was very thoughtful, got our mail, and provided detailed updates and photos of my cats. I have so much peace of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cats and my home.”

“Juliana did an excellent job watching our two kittens, and we were especially grateful that she was available during the holidays. When they had the zoomies and somehow managed to disconnect the internet while we were away, she handled it right away and even remembered to plug the router back in without any issues. She was also great about taking care of any other requests we had. Most importantly, she was really sweet and attentive with our girls, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Very good experience with Liz! She was quick to respond and helped us a lot throughout the entire trip. I usually feel worried about our pets while gone for so long, but Liz made us feel good about them being cared for.”

“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter than Margo! She was so wonderful with my senior cat. She went above and beyond, cleaning up her after her and even taking out her litter bags to the trash. I will definitely hire Margo again whenever I need someone I trust to take care of my girl.”

About: Hello! Meet a terrier trapped in a human body. I am an absolute lover of all dogs from the cutest little teacup to the biggest mastiff. I have always had a dog throughout my adult life. My past dogs have been adopted as puppies and as adult rescues, each of which requires a unique set of skills and responsiveness. You can trust that whether you have an energetic bundle of playfullness or a reserved, quiet couch buddy, they will receive an abundance of love and care from me. I match animals where they are and respond to what they need from me. Over my lifetime, I have cared for all kinds of animals, from cats, dogs, birds, fish and backyard chickens, to more exotic animals like chameleons, red-eared slider turtles, guinea pigs and other rodents, and even sheep, goats, and horses. I am currently a pet parent to two foster cats turned adopted felines, two guinea pigs, and two turtles. Being around animals brings me a deep sense of joy, peace, and fulfillment, and it is my utmost goal to return that same feeling to the animals in my life. I work part-time from home in Swarthmore, PA. As an animal lover who just can't get enough, I want to add pet-stting and dog-walking to my schedule to fill that well of animal love I already have. In rare instances, I will not be able to accept same-day requests, but otherwise, I should be able to meet your needs. Currently, I am taking drop in or occasional visits only. I am unable to add weekly walks or visits, but I can definitely fill in while you find the right sitter or help when your regular sitter is unavailable. As the owner of many types of animals with many different needs, I understand that caring for your pet in exactly the way you ask me to is of utmost importance. I will enter you home, approach your animal/s, provide care, and exit in the exact way you ask me to. As someone who has had many pet-sitters over my adulthood, I know how important it is to trust that your pet-sitter is doing exactly what you've asked them to do. You will not have to worry with me. Knowing that you can relax and enjoy your day or your vacation brings me joy because this is exactly what I want when I leave my pets in another's care.
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
“Christopher took Everest on a bunch of walks and fun adventures! I can definitely tell she loves being dropped off with him and I have no concerns that she won’t be taken care of when I leave her with Christopher!”
About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs, and am a current volunteer for multiple animal rescues. My joy is taking care of animals and making sure they are enjoying life to the fullest! My goal is to keep your animals happy while you need to be away, and providing you trust and reassurance your pet is in great hands. I work remotely from home which is a plus in providing 24/7 care. My schedule is flexible for potty breaks, walks, cat check ins, & feedings. I am available for dog/cat check ins while you’re away, daytime daycare, and overnights and boarding at my house (dogs only). For dog boarding, if your pup has special items that you feel would make their stay more comfortable, please feel free to send any additional items along (blankets, toys, dog bed, etc) I guarantee the safety of your pet, in your home or mine. I ensure your pet is closely monitored and on leash when outdoors. I will actively communicate with any concerns regarding your animal and welcome any details you’d like to share to let me know your pet better!
“Super friendly and caring! Weiyu kept me updated about shiloh throughout the day. Took him out multiple times and showered him with love and hugs. He was very happy when i picked him up. Will definitely be bringing him back.”
“Dante was Great. This was Bubba's first time being babysat by someone that him and I didn't know. Dante kept me updated on Bubba's progress throughout the day which gave me relief because I was just as nervous as Bub. He's very pleasant, excellent in communication, and l can tell that he genuinely love dogs.”
“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“Autumn is awesome with Sesame! She took her to the dog park and took such good care of her! She was also very flexible with me when I got off work late and had to pick Sesame up later. I would definitely let Autumn watch Sesame again!”
“Liz was great with only fur baby! She kept me updated with how Luna was doing throughout the day and sent pictures!! Looking forward to leaving Luna with Liz again, knowing she will be in greats hands!!”
About: I’ve had rescue dogs since I was a child. I get a lot of joy out of fostering dogs and helping them find their furever home. I also grew up with cats and love a sassy attitude. Looking to soak up some good pet energy this summer! I’m not working this summer, so I’m home all day and ready to entertain your pet. I love taking walks so your dog will get at least two walks per day. I spend a lot of time in the pool, so your pet can enjoy the yard as much as they want. Enrichment toys, watching birds and squirrels, naps in the sun, the occasional pup cup, games of fetch, and zoomies galore. I have a big, fenced in yard. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s what they prefer. Willing to accommodate. Will reward with Puperoni!
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. I have had high and low energy dogs and enjoy both. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.

“Anne was fantastic! She helped us out last minute when a relative went in the hospital and needed care for his dog. She is so kind and the pup loved her. We will for sure use Anne again!!”
“This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.”
“Dante was great! It is our first time with a dog walker and he was wonderful about the lock box/entering the apartment. Suzy gets nervous around new people sometimes and it seems like she did great with him.”
“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”
“Olivia has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs. I've got a giant breed pup who isn't the easiest to handle (or the smartest), but Olivia has been great with him. She's also been incredibly professional, prompt, and handled the curveballs pets love to throw (like handling when one dog got an upset stomach and had an accident).”
“Anne Marie is simply the best! Our GSP Cooper is so comfortable with her and I can see why from our initial meet and greet. She is very sweet and is truly a dog lover. So happy to have found her. When we come home from a long day at work, Cooper is at ease and happy because of his mid-day walk. If you are looking for a trustworthy dog lover to walk your fur baby, Anne Marie is the one. Thank you Anne Marie!”
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: I've grown up around dogs and have cared for them my entire life, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether you have a high energy puppy, a relaxed senior, or somewhere in between, I am confident in my ability to meet their unique needs. I am skilled in administering oral medications, comfortable with crate training and leash manners, and knowledgable in calming techniques to help ease anxious pups. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I look forward to forming a loving, trusting bond with your fur baby! My schedule is currently very open; I am free 7 days a week and will be available all day to care for your pet whether you need someone to check in, go for a walk, or board! I treat every pet like family, ensuring your fur baby is loved and cared for like my own! I have a fenced in yard and located in a great neighborhood for walks. I have 2 adult cats who are more reserved and very well acquainted with dogs of all sizes. I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you always feel connected and informed. This house fully supports animals on the couch as well:)
“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
“Thank you for taking my puppies out to walk and taking time to play with them. Thank you keeping me updated after each walk and making sure they eat and stay hydrated! Really gave me piece of mind knowing they were being taken care of! We will definitely reach back out for more walks with Raegan.”
“Gabrielle has been a blessing to our new family member, Lupin, and to us, since she has been providing a daily mid-day walk and something for Lupin to look forward to now that we are all back to work. 🐾🐾”

About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“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!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“My fur baby usually has separation anxiety and gets sad with other people but she Absolutely LOVED Tamika ! Was so happy to be with her and playing for several days . 5 stars”
“Loved her! She kept me up to date daily with a photo, video, or comments regarding my dog, Sadie. She was attentive to any concerns I had in the beginning as my dog has food allergies, and she assured me she would follow my instructions regarding her care completely. I will be using her again!”
“Carly is awesome! We did a 3-night stay and her frequent communication and daily updates as well as photos gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible when our pick-up time ran a little later than expected. Highly recommend her services and will rebook in the future!”

“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”
About: I have a lifetime of experience and have owned pets of all shapes & sizes from hamsters, ducks, chinchillas to cats & dogs. I'm skilled in administering medication and caring for elderly pets. I will care for and love your babies just like my own. If you have any questions feel free to reach out & ask! I’m currently on work leave and home full-time, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to providing your cat with the care, companionship, and supervision they deserve. I’m able to maintain their regular routines, give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, your cat will receive plenty of one-on-one attention while they’re in my care. I grew up with a cat and have continued to care for cats through fostering over the years. While I’m unable to board your sweet kitty in my home because of my dogs, I’d be more than happy to come to your home and provide them with plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on cuddles while you’re away
