Cat Sitting in West Philadelphia

“Olivia was a joy to deal with. She is pleasant and prompt and did a great job of keeping us updated on our cats. I would definitely recommend her and we will be using her next time we travel.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

“Did a great job. Would definitely use again”

About: I've had dogs all of my life aging from newborn puppies to 13 years old. I have trained multiple puppies basic commands like sit, come, speak, and lay down. I can also work on potty training or just play and love your dog. I currently stay at home with my 8 month old baby and the sweetest fur baby. I sometimes have to go to our chicken houses but I can crate your dog for at most an hour or they can venture out with me! I live back off the road on a chicken farm. We have a very long driveway I can take your dog for a walk on. Also, we have a big yard so they will have plenty of room to run and play. I do have the ability to crate your dog if need be.

“They did a wonderful job for us and even went above and beyond when there was a tropical storm to make sure our kitty was safe and cared for. Would recommend!”

About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

“OMG! Micaela was amazing, she was always on top with everything. I’m pretty sure Luna loves her, she’s good on time and helps a lot of. I’m so grateful I found her in this app. I’m pretty I will use her every time I need someone to take care of my puppies and cat💙 I recommend her 1000%, she always sent me photos and let me know about everything. THANK YOU MICAELA KEEP DOING AMAZING JOB”

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals through my life but have extra personal experience with my own four rescued cats. I was also a active dog mom but decided to not get another after losing my boy some years ago. I’m a college student wanting to save money up while in school and as a pet lover and owner I can’t think of a better way to earn money while in school than playing with and spending time with animals. My yard is not fenced in! But I can take them to a fenced in area such as a ball field or I can come to the client in some cases. I do however have a closed in patio at my home, hardwood floors and loving cats (plus my mothers friendly dog) at home.

About: I grew up with dogs, big and small, ranging from Shih Tzu to Siberian Husky and Rottweiler! I care about dogs and all animals and treat them the same I would treat any person. I understand that animals have feelings, needs and wants. I want to be able to help families with their animal care needs, so that you have no worries while you are away or at work. You will know that your pup is in good hands! I am here to make your pup happy, comfortable and safe while you're away. When stopping by your home, I will visit your pup 2-3 times a day, morning, afternoon and evening. During those visits, I will verify that your pup has food and water, is let out to do their business and go for a walk for at least 10 minutes. When dog walking, I will walk your pup for a minimum of 15 minutes and will make sure the dog's food and water is full. I will provide walks as long as the dog may need, care in my, or your, home and be patient with any special needs or potty training. I believe that animals should be treated in a positive manner and will do so when taking care of your fur baby! When dog walking, depending on the individual's ability, we will go long and short distance, walking and running. We will explore areas where the dog can play and enjoy his or herself. I'd be honored to help you and your fur baby. I work full-time currently, but can do early morning check ins, afternoons depending on location & evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I can provide the best care and love for your pup or kitty in your home and during check ins. I look forward to meeting you!

“Phenomenal pet sitter. Highly recommend. Lija is my go to when I need to travel”

Eric M.

“Emily was amazing from the start. She listened to all the kitties needs and tried to socialize with them before our vacation so that they are not unfamiliar with her. With every drop in visit she made sure all their needs are taken care of, checked their water and most importantly engaged them with lots of play time. Within her second visit she was able to convince our shy cat to trust her and took great care of them. She also provided regular updates and listened to any input we had She provided a peace of mind while we were hundreds of miles away and our cats also loved interacting with her. We will definitely rebook with Emily again when life requires us to be elsewhere”

“Raylene was willing to help us out quickly! She sent pictures of my pups clearly having a wonderful time and being well taken care of.”

Kim L.

“James did a great job with Ms. Kitty, we will Definitely call on him again for our next trip. Our cat is getting older, she is 13, and we were gone for 5 days. We have never left her alone for that long, but James took very good care of her. Thank you James!”

Sandy C.

“I needed someone to watch my kitten, Salem, for a few hours while I was away. I had never left him for more than two to three hours before so I was very nervous but Lori was so sweet, caring and really showed her passion for animals and understanding of my anxiety in leaving him. She texted me updates, sent me pictures and even a video to soothe my fears! And he was having a great time. He got to play with some of his favorite toys and some other toys she had at home for her furbabies! I'm very appreciative to her and can 100% recommend, without a doubt. Will use her services again in the future!! You won't find a better sitter.”

Deanna P.

“Tessa watched my 11 week old kitten for a full weekend while I went out of town. I was extremely nervous leaving him with someone I had never met. Tessa took the best care of Goose and he was lucky enough to hang out with her dog and cat all weekend! She sent so many photos and videos it made me feel super comfortable being away. When I picked him up today, she even made him a little report card that told me how he was!! I would have Tessa watch my baby over and over again!”

About: I've had all sorts of pets from a very young age. My father introduced me to animals since I can remember and my love has grown for them ever since. I take care of my pets daily and always make sure to provide them with the best care that I possibly can. I currently have 3 dogs of my own, a cat, 2 turtles and 3 geese. I used to volunteer at a local vet clinic as a kennel attendent when I was in college and I learned how to manage various pets. Over the years, I've tried to learn as much as I can about all sorts of pets to ensure they have the best quality of life. If there is anything you have questions about or you think I may need to know please don't hesitate to do so. I'm currently available any day of the week, Monday through Friday from early in the morning until. I can also accommodate for some weekends, just let me know what days/times work best for you! All of my pets get the adequate care that they deserve. My dogs, cat, turtles and geese all have different diets (for example) and I ensure that each one is getting what they need. All my pets have different activity levels so I have different toys/treats for them. They really do each have their own personality.

About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been dogs in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love dogs more than anything, and I would be delighted to care for your fur babies. I currently have three dogs: a 9-year-old Papillion, a 9-year-old American Staffordshire, and a 7-year-old Lab/Chow mix, two of which I helped raise from puppies. I also have experience pet-sitting for family and a couple of friends. I am completely free most of the summer, and I go to school part-time in the fall and spring. Starting in the fall, I will be free all day Thursday-Sunday, and from 12 pm-10 pm Monday and Wednesday. For daycare/boarding: I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and play, and a driveway that is almost a mile long where we can go for a walk without worrying about cars! I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and playful, but they can be kept separate if they make your dogs uncomfortable. For pet-sitting/check-ins: I'm here for you! I want to listen to how you want things done and what you need from me as a pet-sitter. After all, they're your pets in your home and I know every pet is unique!

“Thank you for the piece of mind. AJ doesn't do well in cages, and so him being home and in a familiar location is great. He was clearly less stressed when I came home than when I've had him boarded before. Will use again.”
