Pet Sitting Anselma

“Rachael was awesome! From first meeting Rachael (and having a butterfly land her, which felt like a sign), we had a good feeling about leaving our two pups in her care. When it came time for the stay, our dogs loved her (even our shy/stand-offish one), and we came back to a neat house. Wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pups!”

“Adina is wonderful with our cats, and she goes above and beyond watching out for our house, too! Our cats love her visits, and we always come home feeling like our babies have been well cared for. Adina is also very communicative and has taken some of my favorite photos of our kitties!”

“Christie was wonderful in caring for our cat while we vacationed. At our initial meeting with Christie, we were impressed with her interaction with our beloved cat and how nicely he responded to her. During our vacation, we received daily texts with pictures as well as a short paragraph on how things were going. Christie spent time after feeding our cat to pet and interact with him, then sent photos highlighting her daily visits. We unequivocally give our highest recommendation to Christie!”

“Erin was incredibly helpful checking in on our two cats while we were out. She was very kind, communicative, and thorough throughout the entire process. It gave us peace of mind to know they were in good care. We would definitely recommend her!”

About: I care about all animals, wild animals too. I grew up with dogs and have been around them and taken care of them most of my life. I love all breeds. I grew up with Newfoundlands and take care of a Doodle now. I've cared for Staffies, Pitties, Dobermans, Labs, etc. I love them all! I worked on a cattle farm for a couple of years where there was a dog rescue. I'm the first call family members make to care for their dogs when they go away. I'm a big fan of cats too! My first priority is to make sure the dogs and cats feel safe, that someone is looking out for them and that they have a fun time. I work remotely part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available 7 days a week since I can't think of a better way to spend my time than being around animals. Buddy is the dog in my profile photo. I care for him every day and I just want him to enjoy his life. I live in a townhouse community so dogs need to be on a leash. My boy Buddy always has a leash and harness on when he goes out for walks. I can adjust to any arrangements you may have in your home.

“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”

“Alexis was fantastic! She was reliable and my cat loved her immediately. It was very comforting to see all of the happy photos while I was gone. She went above and beyond to also help me with an issue in my house while she was there. I highly recommend her!”

About: Ever since I was young, I’ve had an overwhelming love for dogs. Because my mom was allergic, I couldn't have one in my house growing up, so around age 10 I started going to my neighbor's house daily just to spend time with their Golden Retriever, Ginger. I played with her, trained her, and we even entered a local dog show together. That early experience gave me a lifelong passion for giving dogs the active, fulfilling lives they deserve. For years, neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to care for, walk, and sit their dogs. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of routines, from multi-day home sitting to daily drop-ins, and I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. When your dog is with me, they will receive undivided attention, patience, and love just like they're my own family. What I feel sets me apart: • Built for high-energy & athletic dogs: I live a very active outdoor lifestyle and love spending time in nature. If your dog needs long walks, runs, hikes, or never wants any downtime, I’m the walker for you. • Attentive and reliable: I will follow your home, feeding, and leash instructions very thoroughly, and I always prioritize safety and situational awareness on walks. • Detailed updates: You’ll receive prompt communication and great photo updates all the time so you know your dog is having a blast. One more thing to add, I don’t care if your dog isn’t trained, or if they're the craziest dog in the world, or if they jump, or if they weigh 140 pounds of pure muscle, I can guarantee we will get along and have a good time. As a college student with in-person classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have wide-open, dedicated availability throughout Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and full weekends. On my class days and during the couple of weekday evenings when I teach tennis clinics, I plan my dog walks and drop-in visits around those specific blocks. This setup gives me substantial, predictable chunks of free time throughout the week for morning outings, midday check-ins, and extended weekend care. I’m punctual, organized with my calendar, and happy to coordinate a routine that aligns with your dog’s needs. Safety for your pet is obviously every pet owner’s number one priority, which makes it mine as well when your pet is in my care. All instructions for anything whether it be for your household or for your pet that are given to me will always be followed through with. Also, when your dog is on a walk with me, I can guarantee their safety. I have walked so many dogs in my life, and I know that there is never a moment during a walk where safety isn’t the number one priority, with fun being second of course. Lastly, if I am caring for your pet in at your place of residence, I will always be respectful and safe.

“Laura was so amazing with Finn! She provided updates throughout the visits and sent great pics. She watched him while I had my wedding and it was so nice to know he was in good hands!”

“Marjorie was great! Communicative, prompt, and clearly cared for my kitties!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.

“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. Communication is clear and timely, updates address all aspects of pet care, my cats love her, and Erin is trustworthy and professional. Thank you, Erin!”

“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 4 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I make it a priority to be reliable and responsive so pet owners can feel confident and not have to worry while they are away.

About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

“Sarah was always on time and gave us the piece of mind that our dog was being checked on and given plenty of attention. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.
