There is a large quiet lawn right by our home where we can meet in a neutral setting, talk through your dog's needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Feel free to reach out and schedule one!

About: Split level home. Four bedroom house, living room, dining room, breakfast nook, kitchen, two bathrooms, recreation room, large yard but not fenced in. I train dogs, cats, horses in sign language and verbal commands. I can give insulin and medication (s). About this sitter: My name is Ann. I'm 74 years old, live alone, twice widowed. Had a full background check. . I live on a fixed income. Presently retired. Use to work for the U.S. Government for 18 years. Four years for Defense, two years for U.S. Mint, twelve years for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Then went into police work for the Philadelphia/ Aston Township Police Department and also did crossing guard work for approximately ten years. I have my Ph.D in clinical psychology and give speeches on PTSD. I'm skilled and train dogs, cats, horses in sign language and verbal commands. I also give insulin and medication to any and all pets that need it. I'm a warm, compassionate, understanding, fun person to be around. I love animals and children immensely. To know me is to love me...lol I have a great sense of humor and my philosophy in life is: In order to get respect you must give respect. I write poetry, short stories, and articles for publication. Love jet skiing, horse back riding, swimming, dancing, hot air balloon rides, carnivals, amusement parks, hope to go to Florida someday and swim and ride with a dolphin. I go to Lewes, Delaware every year and go dolphin watching. Enjoy mini-golfing, and last but certainly not lease I love to dance and sing. I'm a professional singer for the last thirty years. Perform as a soloist on stage. I'm also a Public Speaker. There is more that I could tell you but don't want to write you an "Epistle". This profile is about you and your loving animal (s). You have the idea of the type of person that I am. . IT IS A REQUIREMENT BEFORE I TAKE IN YOUR PETS THAT THERE IS DOCUMENTED PROOF OF CURRENT SHOTS AND LICENSES. ALL MY ANIMALS ARE VACCINATED AND LICENSED. I also train dogs, cats, horses in sign language and verbal commands. Sorry but I don't accept Pit Bulls, snakes, fish, birds or reptiles of any nature. I use to be a Nanny to four children, and their Labrador for five years. The dog was very skiddish around strangers and was warned that she bites. I told the parents that I had to win the dog over before I won the children over. So with treats in my pocket, and the dog barking, growling, showing teeth etc., I sat on the floor and ignored her. I sat there for the longest time until she came to me. I allowed her to smell me, although still growling and showing teeth. Still ignored her. I placed a treat between the dog and myself. Long story short after an hour of doing this process, the dog and I trusted each other. I loved and cared for her both at her home and mine for five years, while the family went on vacation etc. until she died. I've also had other odd jobs of caring for animals from neighbors going on vacation etc. I would go to their homes and care for their pets, leaving a note of the activities from "their pet" of what we did while babysitting. I have a clean criminal and child abuse background check that I can provide a copy to you. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover forever. But I only had gotten my first dog when I was about 38 yrs. old. I always had cats. I would bring the cats in through the front door, my mother would bring them out the back door. Finally she gave into my love of animals. When I had my first dog and lost him after nine years, I went out a month later to "FAITHFUL FRIENDS A NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTER' in Wilmington, Delaware and adopted (what was only suppose to be one dog, I adopted two as I couldn't decide between the two brothers..luckily I didn't adopt the whole litter of five.) About my yard I have a huge yard, but not fenced in. The leashes are brought into the house (30 foot leashes), I leash dogs inside the house, then leave them out front to do their thing. I clean up the yard all the time except in snow and rain. Once the weather is clear, I'm out there cleaning. My experience administering medication I can administer medication via shots, and, give medication via pills to the most scariest animals that hate taking medication like we do!!! I 'm experienced in administering insulin injections and giving all types of medication. . Over the years I've learned from my vet how to administer any and all medicines when necessary or if the need arises. I currently work part time in Search and Rescue with the Police/Fire Department for pets, children and elderly. I'm on call 24/7 in case of an emergency with your pet (s). I deal with lost and found animals, and take to police department to see if strays are micro-chipped. Basically I'm home 24/7. I rise at 5:30 - 6:00 a.m., and go to bed by 11:00 p.m. I don't accept any last minute phone calls to take care of another person's pet. E.G. No one can call me at 8:00 a.m., and tell me they are bringing their pet (s) over for me to take care of at noon time and will be back in a week. I require a mandatory FREE MEET AND GREET which lasts for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Without the FREE MEET AND GREET I won't accept any job. When coming to the MEET AND GREET, CURRENT VACCINATIONS, CURRENT DOG LICENSE, CURRENT VET INFORMATION is a requirement. Even if I'm just doing drop in visits or walking a pet. At the Meet and Greet there will be other questions, however, I need to know about any allergies, did they have Flea/Tick medication, Heart Worm medication etc. I will call your Vet for confirmation of the paperwork you bring to me. Rabie shots are a definite requirement, all vaccinations are a definite requirement, and a dog license is a definite requirement (otherwise you'll have a $300.00 fine without the license) and possibly court costs fees. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have a fenced in deck right off my bedroom on the second floor. All animals can play outside on the deck, relax in the sun if they so choose and have beautiful surroundings to watch other animals from the woods behind my home. I'm home 24/7 and if I go out, either I crate your dog in my home for safety reasons, or, depending where I'm going take your dog with me. I have a fenced in deck, and let the animals play out on the deck which is located outside my bedroom on the second floor. They love to sit and watch the birds, rabbits, etc., from the second floor. Enjoy sun bathing and fresh air out there. If I have to go out, they're put in a crate.
“Jenning is amazing! From the time I reached out she was responsive and quickly accepted my request for last minute daycare. She was so patient and kind when we arrived and took my pup out on a walk right after I left and sent a photo of him within the first 30 minutes. I think I had more seperation anxiety thamy dog. When I checked in she responded promptly, assured me he was doing great, and shared pictures from their afternoon hike. I will definitely reach out to her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of your fur baby!”

“Amy and Cathy were very good with my old man Sidney, who is a sort of anxious beagle mix. They indulged me with a second meet and greet before his first stay. Apparently he didn't miss me as much as I thought he would! He did well and we will definitely be going back. Thanks so much!”

“Sesame love staying with Deanna! She was super responsive and took such good care of her. She gave me updates during the day! She didn’t even want to go home afterwards! She also gave her a toy! Definitely would book Deanna again!”
“Nicolette did a great job watching Penny for the day! She was friendly and promptly responded to our messages and questions. Her dog Prince also got along well with our dog. We would book her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had cats as an adult. I love dogs but I travel too much to have my own, so pet sitting is the next best thing. I work from home and have good control over my schedule. I already take walk breaks during the day (including 45 min - 1 hour at lunchtime) and have a large fenced yard. I give lots of attention and cuddles to any dogs and cats in my care, and ensure plenty of playtime, running, and walks. Dogs and cats are welcome in my workspace while I’m working, and on the furniture throughout the house.
