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. My flexible cancellation policy reflects my understanding of the unpredictable nature of life, and I want you to feel comfortable when booking my services. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today and let me provide the loving care your pet deserves!

Cat-astrophes happen! What is your cancellation policy?

PetWorks Cancellation Policy

Pet Care Professional's Own Policy
If a pet care professional has published their own cancellation or refund policy, that policy governs the refund of the service amount only. Any PetWorks fees, including the Care Coverage Fee and Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee, are governed by this PetWorks Cancellation Policy and not by the pet care professional's policy.

Pet Parent Cancels
If the pet care professional has not published their own cancellation policy, the service amount is refundable only if the pet parent cancels at least 72 hours before the scheduled start time of the booking. Cancellations within 72 hours of the scheduled start time are non-refundable for the service amount. The Care Coverage Fee is non-refundable when a pet parent cancels, regardless of timing and regardless of whether the pet care professional has their own cancellation policy.

Pet Parent No-Show
If a pet parent does not show up for a confirmed booking, no refund will be issued for the service amount or the Care Coverage Fee.

Pet Care Professional Cancels
If a pet care professional cancels a confirmed booking, the pet parent receives a 100% refund of everything they paid, including the Care Coverage Fee. The pet care professional receives no payment for the canceled service and is charged a Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee equal to 10% of the service amount, up to a maximum of $150. PetWorks may collect this fee by deducting it from a future payout through PetWorks or by other means if no future payout is available.

Policy in Effect at Booking
The cancellation rules that apply to a booking, including any pet care professional cancellation policy on file and the Pet Care Professional Cancellation Fee rate, are those that were in effect when the booking was confirmed.

Which part of the country do you serve pets?

Camden, Cherry Hill, Chester, Wilmington, Levittown, Trenton, Norristown, Bensalem, Lansdale, West Chester

What year did you begin serving pets?

1998

How did you hone your craft?

I started working in vetmed before becoming a pet sitter, so I knew things from a medical perspective. Then it was just over 20 years of seeing anything and everything that can happen while pet sitting.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Be organized in your instructions, don't leave your animals in a dark, quiet house. They are used to noise, light, hustle and bustle. Leave on the TV or radio for company.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

They say "You are not your job" Well, this is untrue for me. My job is my life, caring for and rescuing animals is just "me"
