“Alexis was wonderful! She cared for our four cats over a holiday weekend and gave us consistent updates and photos each day. Communication was easy and she made sure everyone was safe, fed and loved—even our more reserved cat. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Lindsay was great to work with. Really friendly, quick with communication and trustworthy. You can tell she really cares about the safety and well being of your pups. She was also very flexible and was willing to communicate through another person to get everything scheduled, since I was unavailable. It was great that she was willing to do a quick FaceTime to get to know our dogs and ask some questions. Would highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“I just arrived home after a four-day trip, and let me tell you all a thing: this is the calmest my cats have ever been upon my return from being away. Lisa did a fantastic job looking after my two fur babies, so much so that I don’t think they even missed me! And on top of that, she collected my packages for me (none of which were supposed to arrive until after I returned). Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Amanda was a wonderful cat sitter! We have two very sweet older kitties who need medication twice a day. She took very good care of them and sent lots of very cute pictures. It’s clear they were very happy while we were away. She also went above and beyond what was asked. If the kitties made any messes while we were gone, there was no evidence when we came home! She also cleaned up something that had spilled from our pantry onto the floor while we were gone. We really appreciate that she took such care of our pets and home while we were away. Amanda was a great communicator, sending updates often (but not too much) and she responds to messages very promptly. We will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future!”
“Madelyn has been absolutely AMAZING with my babies!! Always on time and so wonderful with them! I cannot express how impressed I am with her commitment. It has made my vacation much more enjoyable knowing my babies are being cared for!!!”
“Ally was a great caretaker for our two furballs. Thank you for the great communication, excellent reports and all the lovely photos. We were so grateful that they were in such good care.”
“Tim has been incredibly professional and great with out year and a half year old Australian cattle! After only two visits she is incredibly excited to see him despite normally be anxious with new people.”
“Meredith and Jeremy had a meet and greet for a solid hour a few weeks before we went away. They were very attentive to our unique needs have having recently adopted two 6 month old kittens that were still skittish around people. They did a great job in not only feeding and scooping their litter but playing with them and helping them come out of their shell.”
About: Hello! I’m looking forward to meeting and taking care of your fur baby. I had 2 beagles that I adopted as puppies who passed away in February and March of 2020 at 14 and 15 years old. After they passed, I started fostering for Senior Dog Haven And Hospice and adopted my first foster dog, a little Senior Chihuahua, who just recently passed away in 2024. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and am comfortable with all medications except injectables. I work from home and your dog will rarely be left unattended and can go out in the fenced yard or go for walks as often as needed. Your dog will have lots of love and attention while staying with me 🐾❤️ Please reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule a meet and greet! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I really enjoy getting out of the house to take dogs for a walk, but also have a fenced in yard for them to run around in and go out as frequently as is needed. For in home sitting I love having guest dogs to snuggle in the morning while I have my coffee, hang out with me in the office, and follow me around through the day 😊 I typically have dogs sleep in their bed in my bedroom, but am flexible to the routine that your dog is accustomed to. For a visits and walks at your home, I allow time for at least a 30 minute walk or visit/playtime. However, I am only able to offer this service within about a 5 mile radius from Royersford.
“Ellery's confident and friendly personality immediately made me feel comfortable that my cats would be in competent hands while I was out of town. One of my cats has medical issues, but Ellery was unflappable, and assured me that he would be treated as if he were her own, if any emergencies arose, and he needed to have emergency care. I arrived home to happy cats, and a litter box area that was clean and tidy. We will definitely reach out to Ellery in the future to care for our cats when away.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over six decades, and caring for them brings me purpose. I've had dogs by my side my whole life, shared my home with cats, spent years riding and caring for horses, and even rescued a goose and few pigeons. I’m experienced with pets of all ages. I understand the special care they need and have hands-on experience administering medications and supporting aging pets with patience and compassion. Their comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I also have the patience to help young animals that are still in their training phase. Now retired, I have the time and energy to devote fully to your furry (or feathered!) family members. I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and lots of attention—and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether you’re going away or just need an extra hand, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in experienced, loving hands. I am retired so I am free to assist in any way I can, no job is too small and I am always happy to help. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take time to learn their routine, keep doors and gates secure, avoid hazards, and provide constant supervision, love, and calm, reliable care.
“Jordyyn was amazing with our 6 cats. She made sure they all got their meds, were feed twice a day and she even bonded with and brushed one of our fur babies! Our cats aren't the friendliest, but she managed to pet them and make them feel comfortable around her. Jordyyn is punctual, friendly and detail oriented and I would use her again in a second to take care of my pets!”
About: I have always grown up around dogs, and I have two huskies of my own now. I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs as well as my neighbor’s dogs. I’m currently at college and studying for the MCAT, so I don’t have any obligations that I can’t move around. I’m free just about any time! Since I’ve cared for many other dogs, I can understand their personalities and when they need to be alone. I will also work with the owner to better understand what the pet likes and how to best care for them.
“Rachael sent me messages and pictures which provided updates on how things were at home. Seems to be very experienced and knowledgeable about cat sitting and care. Overall all a good sitter.”
“Valerie helped take care of my 3 cats after I had hand surgery. She was great with the cats, and they became very comfortable with her very quickly. She was dependable and very helpful. I recommend her highly.”
