“Carolyn is wonderful and I would highly recommend her! Kind, professional, dependable, and great with our dogs. We have 2 golden retrievers, ~3 yrs and ~6 mos, and they took to Carolyn right away. She took them on terrific hour-long walks for the 3 days we needed, even toweling them down because of the rains. I will definitely reach out to Carolyn in the future when similar needs come up.”


About: Hi, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13 years old. I have two dogs at home and I am an experienced sitter and I can’t wait to take care of your fur baby’s. I’m correctly working full time at this moment. I am more than happy to work with your schedule. I can’t wait to take care of your fur baby’s. I take safety, trust and responsibility very seriously. I do have a fenced in backyard, but I will be not working at my location due to my dogs.

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened". —Anatole France. Hello ~ I enjoy playing and spending time with all my pup friends. Through out the years I have been fortunate to have met great pet parents who have now become regular clients for years, either for doggy daycare or boarding, I am always happy to help out! To any one residing within 4 mile radius, I offer complimentary pick up or drop off as needed:) I offer drop-in visits, doggy daycare & boarding at my home and will accept more than one dog, (up to 3), if it's from the same family:) Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard everyday.

“Rhea was great and would highly recommend if you are looking for a walker. My dog can be very high energy and a lot to handle, but Rhea was able to manage and had no issues. I needed a walker for the entire week and Rhea sent detailed summaries and pictures everyday and was very punctual. I will definitely be contacting her again for any dog walking I need.”


“Alex was amazing! She lived up to our expectations and honestly exceeded them. We got daily updates and she went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable during his walks while we were away.”


“We’ll be booking Daphne again! She was able to help us out to walk our two senior dogs with short notice. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time for the walk, and went above and beyond walking our newer adopted dog whose leash manners are a work in progress. In the app, we got a picture and update after her drop in/walk. Our dogs were clearly in very good hands. Can’t ask for anything more than that!”


About: I'm an animal person that values clear communication. I love long walks equally to fuzzy couch cuddles, and my favorite part of the job is getting to know a new pet. I will follow all directions you leave for me, ask questions if I need clarity, and then I will send photos / updates throughout my stay. I work remotely and am available to hang out at your house as well, so your baby doesn't get lonely while you're gone. I'm an avid plant mom & can take care of your plants as well. I'm currently working remotely, and have flex hours, so I have plenty of flexibility to take your pet out! I'm also available to hang out at your house during my workday - I just need a Wi-Fi signal to use my laptop. Im 33 years old & very boring, I just work on my laptop, hang with friends or husband, and go to the gym, you can trust me. I would like us and your fur baby to meet in advance of booking, so that we know it's a good fit & everyone is on the same page.

About: A Philadelphia native, I grew up in Chestnut Hill and attended the University of Pennsylvania. Born into a family of animal lovers, I spent my childhood taking care of numerous cats, dogs, parakeets, fish, and lizards. Most recently, I was an investment strategist for a wealth management firm in Radnor after a 10+ year career as a portfolio manager. I'm very responsible and reliable and understand the importance of excellent client service and going above and beyond. I live in Wayne and spend as much time as possible with my Norwich Terrier Barney. I decided to take a break from the corporate world to focus on what I love most: Dogs and the great outdoors! I'm looking to walk dogs during the week with some weekends depending on my schedule. I'm also available for vacations visits during the weekends and holidays. I have a two-story house with a fenced in terrace near the Radnor Trail. I take dogs out for multiple runs and walks daily. We also go to the nearby dog parks. I'm a big hiker and will make sure your pooch gets a great workout! Growing up with dogs, I easily recognize when they are uncomfortable or scared.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have dog-sit many of my neighbors dogs. Not only do I carry out normal tasks (feed, walk…) I also make sure to spend time with the dog giving them love and cuddles. I am a very dedicated athlete but I also am great with time management. I am up early and always have my phone nearby. Taking care of animals has always been a calming factor in my life and make sure to take a nice chunk of time to bond with the dog. I am respectful of clients home and make sure to leave the place better than I found it. I make sure to clean up after the pets while taking good care of them.

About: I've had four years of professional experience caring for animals, more specifically working with dogs and cats. I've also dealt with some gerbils, chickens, fish, etc. Since I was 5 years old, I was raised in a home with a cat — She has since passed on but a few years later I got my own cat. I've also had experience with dogs since around the same age, learning some training basics and general care. My OG best friend, Tyler (Coolest black lab ever!) who taught me everything has since passed on but the love I have for all of my animals forever lives on in my heart. I am self-employed, so I generally have an incredibly flexible work schedule. I should have no problems adjusting to you and your loved one(s) needs :) I care for all of my animals and especially my client's animals with extreme care, making sure I am observant of their cues, diligent with their scheduling requirements (foods, meds, etc.), providing them with all the physical affection they desire and more. I can assure you your fur baby/babies are in safe hands!

About: As a seasoned pet sitter, my dedication to personalized care sets me apart. With a keen focus on each pet's unique needs, I specialize in training puppies and providing gentle, attentive care for senior companions. My commitment to fostering a safe, loving environment ensures that every furry friend feels cherished and secure under my watch. Trust me to go the extra mile in tailoring an experience that exceeds expectations for both pets and their owners. As a freelancer in the film industry, my flexible schedule seamlessly accommodates pet care as an integral part of my routine. With the ability to tailor my hours around your pet's needs, I ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddle time, I prioritize your pet's well-being while maintaining open communication to adapt to any changes in your schedule. Rest assured, your furry companion will always receive the dedicated care and companionship they deserve, fitting seamlessly into my adaptable schedule. Trustworthiness: I respect the client's home and privacy, maintaining professionalism and integrity at all times. Follow Instructions: I adhere closely to the client's instructions regarding feeding, medication, and routines. Security: I ensure the home remains secure and undisturbed during my stay. Communication: I provide regular updates and photos to reassure clients of their pet's well-being. Respect: I treat the client's property and pets with the same care and consideration as if they were my own.

Maya L.

“As a large breed dog owner of two very playful, active and loving Rottweilers, I would feel very safe leaving my fur babies in Maya’s care. The care giver has a large fenced in yard that is appropriate for dogs to play, run, and even relax. The home is dog-friendly with gates, two school age kids, and a work from home family to provide company for any dog that is in her care. I’ve know this family for some time and Maya has always had a dog and has shown a tremendous amount of care, love and affection to her fur babies as well as those dogs left in her care, including my own dogs. I highly recommend her home to anyone looking for care for their dog.”

Mykelle N.
“Mykelle has become like best friends with my Luna. She always goes out of her way to send me a pic and tidbit of how Luna was during her walk or end of the day if she’s watching her overnight. Luna loves when she’s gets to hang with Ms. Mykelle. Even if it’s a last minute request, Mykelle has always been so flexible in fitting in time to hang with Luna when I’m unable to.”


Cameron F.
“Cameron is a thoughtful and dedicated animal caregiver. He’s conscientious, compassionate, and truly takes pride in the way animals connect with him.
