Pet Sitter - Cats Exotics Dogs - Drop Ins Only - Philadelphia, PA

Member since Mar 2025

As a licensed and insured pet sitter with over 25 years of experience and a background in veterinary medicine since 1998, I pride myself on providing exceptional care for your beloved animals. My extensive qualifications include a deep understanding of various species, including birds, cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and more. Whether it's a drop-in visit for your furry friend or specialized care for exotic pets, you can trust that I have the skills and knowledge necessary to keep them safe and happy.

I offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of your pets, including cat sitting, dog sitting, and drop-in visits for small animals and reptiles. While I do not board dogs or cats, I am equipped to provide home boarding for certain rodents and reptiles, ensuring they receive the attentive care they deserve. With proficiency in administering medications, injections, and fluids, you can have peace of mind knowing that I can manage your pet’s health requirements while you are away.

Serving pets in my local community, I am committed to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners.
