Local Paws is built around the idea that pets are family and deserve thoughtful, reliable care.

Animals have always been an important part of my life, both personally and professionally, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I currently have two cats, Dylan, a lynx point Siamese, and Rammus, a Maine Coon mix.

I have also volunteered with animal rescues and work full-time as a software engineer in the pet care industry, supporting other pet care providers. That experience, along with understanding how I would want my own pets cared for, has given me a strong appreciation for both quality care and the importance of being dependable and organized.

I primarily focus on cat care, but also offer services for dogs and other pets. I serve the University City area of Philadelphia, with a focus on keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their own home.

I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give to my own.

After each visit, you will receive a detailed report card with photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Whether you are away for an extended period of time or just want to make sure your pet gets some extra attention during the day, I am happy to help.
