About: I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.

“Storm did a great job stopping by and letting our two dogs out. He was on time and often stayed longer than required making sure they were both taken care of. He got to know our two dogs very well and quickly figured out their personalities.”


“Heidi was very communicative and thorough. She asked great questions during our intake call and even took detailed notes. She gave me timely updates with photos and was overall a pleasure to work with. I would not hesistate to book with Heidi again!”


About: When I was born my family owned 2 dogs and throughout my life I have had at least two dogs in the house at all times, From an over aggressive dog when I was little to a rescue dog and another dog that had serious health issues I have seen it all in my own personal life I am a college athlete so i can do visits during the day or at night to check on the dog and i can do house sitting on weekends I have two smaller dogs that can bond well with other dogs, I also have access to a fenced in yard to let your dog run. Due to my past dogs I am experienced with administering medicine in many different forms for dogs.

About: Having owned cats and dogs (and many other animals!) for over 15 years, and having cared for other family pets in my community, I have significant experience with pets of all energy levels, ages, medical/emotional needs, and sizes. For my own pets that are well into their senior years, I have dispensed medications and delivered subcutaneous fluids—so you could say I have a knack for getting pets to take their medications! I will be Rovering full time (available any time any day) before my beach lifeguarding job starts up. After my beach lifeguarding job starts, I will be available part time after work. As someone entering medical school in a few months, you can trust I pay attention to detail, and will do so in your home. Any special instructions your pet requires, I will follow to a T. I’m very transparent so if there is anything I have questions about, I will ask promptly.

About: When I was eleven I started my own dog walking business in my neighborhood and it grew from there to my family and friends and their friends. I would be responsible for daily walks as well as overnight care staying in their home. I grew up riding horses and my trainer would rely on me for daily feeding and caring for the horses and her personal dogs as needed. When she would go away on vacation or business trips in or out of the country, I would care for the twenty two horses and her personal pets. I studied at Bergin University of Canine Studies in California where I learned how to train service dogs. Right out of College I was hired as a trainer at Canine Partners for Life and trained Service Dogs for Six Years. There I learned so much about dog care and training and handling all ages and types of dog with different behaviors. I am comfortable giving any medications or any other special needs your pup might need. I would take one of my service dogs in training home every night and care for them. I would be in charge of training 8-12 dogs at a time and managing their medical appointments and their schedules with volunteers and much more. Now I work part-time from home. I care for the horses on our property and two personal labs who love visitors. Leaving lots of time to care for your furry family member! We live on a small farm with 16 acres and I care for five horses on our property. We also have two loving labs who love visitors. I run some errands during the day but your pup wouldn’t be left home alone more than 4 hours at a time at most. I have lots of time to spend quality time with your pup! I have a portion of our yard that is fenced in for your dog to run around. I have two labs who would love to keep your pup company. We have 16 acres that I can take your dog on leashed walks as well as surrounding neighborhoods with long walking trails. Your pup would be a part of the family while you’re away around the house with us! We have plenty of dogs bed around the house and we allow cuddles on the couch. We have a crate if needed.

“Jackie was exactly what we hoped for in a caregiver for our senior Golden Retriever, Coco! She took special care with her meds, meals and ensuring Coco had plenty of water. Jackie was patient with Coco and got her moving and warmed up gently before going outside. She was an amazing communicator, reinforcing instructions and special needs allowing us to have full confidence that Coco would be well taken care of while we were away. Jackie provided nice updates and photos from each visit, putting us at ease seeing how happy and relaxed our dog was with her. I will definitely be using Jackie again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful caregiver.”


“Taylor was great. Was sure to keep our kitty inside and gave him lots of attention! Sent us great pictures everyday.. Would definitely recommend. She also picked up our mail. Came and met our pet prior to starting. Thank you!!”


About: Hi! I’m Heather, a lifelong animal lover & owner with years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and even other farm animals. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every pet like family because to me, they are. I’m attentive to routines, details, medical needs, and quirks, whether your dog needs a special diet or your dog just prefers a certain sunny spot on the couch. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I provide regular photo updates and messages to keep you connected and worry free. Punctual, respectful, and always gentle. I show up with treats, patience, and a genuine passion for pets. I’m here to make tails wag, and pet parents feel completely at ease. I specialize in overnight stays, senior pets, and medication administration. Let’s schedule a meet & greet. I’d love to get to know you and your furry family! I currently have a full time job, but my hours can be flexible. My normal work schedule is 6:30 am to 3:30 pm with a 1 hour flexible lunch time. I work in West Chester & live in Quarryville. I am available to make stop ins before, after or during the day depending on your location. I'm also available for overnight stays. In clients' homes, I follow their routines closely; feeding, walking and playing as instructed. My goal is for pets to stay happy and relaxed in their families space making it less stressful for pet & owner. I treat every pet with patience, affection and the same exact care I'd want for my own.

About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant administering medication, comforting pets, trained in helping pets in high stress situations, and moderate knowledge of veterinary medicine. I truly love every pet like my own. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with seniors, medications, puppies, and nervous pets. I understand how hard it is to be away, so I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention you would. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m mostly free throughout the day. This flexibility lets me give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication, giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s playing with kittens, helping seniors relax, or managing special needs, I treat every pet like family to ensure they’re happy and stress-free.

About: I worked as a professional pedestrian when I travelled on foot across America performing comedy along the way. It was the first time I got a lot of experience staying with families with all different pets. In my years I’ve seen it all so I’m not phased by anything. Quick to adapt to different situations and comfortable with all manners of dogs. I’ve trained puppies and I’ve seen dogs mature. They all require their own respect and attention that I’m happy to give. I work remotely for one job and on the go for another. My schedule is as flexible as I need it to be. Most likely I will be visiting or walking pets in the morning or mid-afternoon but I can make any arrangement work. I’ve stayed at a number of friends houses caring for their pets from an overnight to a week. I am drug and alcohol free so you don’t need to worry. I’m quiet and clean and have stuck by the principal of leave a place better than you found it.
