Pet Sitting in West Philadelphia

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.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Scout! I felt really comfortable leaving him for the afternoon, and confident that he was well loved while I was gone!”

“Did a great job. Would definitely use again”

Drexel F.

“From start to finish, our dogs loved her. Great communication throughout our time away, pictures, videos, etc. Easy to work with, very adaptable to any changes necessary. We will definitely be calling in her again. Thank you Mari!”

Taylour D.

“Michael was professional and considerate of all the things our dog needed. He has high integrity and a patient heart. I would recommend him to others.”

Dante P.

“Absolutely the best care for our dogs. She even made a second visit to be sure our boys went out after being new to this type of care!!! Cannot say enough good things!!”

Erin S.

“Avery took great care of our Great Dane! Our dog is shy with new people and Avery was very patient with her! I would definitely trust her to take care of our girl again!”

Michelle D.

“We couldn’t say enough good things about Vanessa. It is obvious that she loves our pets as if they were their own. She arrives on time and sends adorable little updates in the form of pictures and videos. She left the sweetest goody bag for our Daisy with toys and treats, which Daisy absolutely loves! Right now we are doing drop in visits but once Daisy is fully vaccinated we hope to do doggy daycare with Vanessa!”

About: I have 2 fully energized pups who love to socialize and will be the perfect play pals for your pup! We go on long hikes and play in the yard. I have over 10 years experience handling and caring for animals as well as a military background so your pup is in good hands. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur baby as I understand the peace of mind it is to have someone you trust looking after them while you are away. I truly believe in keeping excitement in any dog’s routine and so I love exploring new parks to play at, trails to hike, beaches to play on, and friends to share it with. Can’t wait to spoil your fur baby! I work close by and provide potty breaks as needed. Weekends and evenings are usually filled with yard play and training for the dogs in addition to exploring nearby trails. I have 2 dogs that are socialized with other animals and a fully fenced yard. They are not left unattended for long durations and my home is very safe and pet friendly.

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.

“My pups and I loved having Micaela stop in and play with them. She genuinely loves taking care of furbabies and went above & beyond my expectations in her communication with me, from the moment we confirmed booking until her last check in. I had never used Rover prior to this weekend and know that I can trust Micaela with my babies in the future. 5 stars, absolutely recommend her.”

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.

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!

About: I have cared for and loved animals for years. I'm excited to meet and care for your animals. As a mother of three grown boys, I truly have a Mama's heart. I treat my own pets with this same sort of mama love. I will love your fur babies as my own. I bring years of personal pet ownership, and dog training to this pet care business I'm currently working with my Golden Retriever, Sarge to achieve the AKC good citizen award. My hope is to visit nursing homes and hospitals with him. I work from home and will be with your pet for plenty of play time, potty breaks in my fenced in yard and, off course, lots of love and snuggles! I prefer to meet first time clients so that I can meet your animal and make you feel comfortable leaving your pet with me.

“James is literally the only sitter on Rover we will have watch/spend time with our pets. This was the first time personally booking through rover,, my wife usually handles it, and James helped walk me through the process so everything was scheduled correct.. He is a great help and he is one of the only people in the world one of our dogs will come up to. When we come home our house is exactly how we left it. If you are in doubt and are in need of a sitter look no further, you will not be disappointed with James.”

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.

“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.”

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!
