About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, which has informed my experience with them. I enjoy walking dogs and training them to learn new tricks. I know several dog training techniques, including positive reinforcement techniques. I can always make time out of my schedule to walk Fido or give Fluffy extra cuddles. I am available especially on Saturdays. When I'm spending time with your furbabies, it never feels like work. I care for my pets by making sure they have plenty of water and food. I also walk the dog frequently and make sure the cat has a clean litter box. For clients, I care for pets per their instructions.
“Bridgette takes care of our elderly dog like he is her baby, which is just we do and appreciate that so much! We never worry when he is here with her and highly recommend this lovely lady!”
“Elizabeth was great with Daffodil. She showed up when she said she would and communicated with us throughout her stay. She asked to take her to a dog park and our dog loved it. Would definitely use Elizabeth again in the future.”
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 had multiple dogs throughout my life. I am attentive and adaptable. I am able to provide gentle care and extra attention for those that may need it. I am working a part time job at victory brewing in Kennett square. During the week if I am scheduled I usually go in at 4pm and am done by 830. I’m able to visit your pets before or after if needed! Saturdays and Sundays my times vary but I may be there most if not all of the day. I can easily crate a dog. I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep them happy and healthy. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions closely, maintain their routines, and ensure their home is secure. I also send regular updates and photos to keep the owners informed!

Over 33 pet parents in Avondale have booked house sitting
Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maiya took excellent care of the pets and the house while we were on a week long vacation! She sent plenty of update photos and videos to let us know everything was going well. She took great care of our pup, including taking her out to the local park for a nice outing. I can tell she kept our dog so busy, she barely had time to miss us! She kept the house very clean (probably better than we left it) - I would absolutely have Maiya house/pet sit for us again!
Emma took great care of our small dog, Holly, in our home for a long weekend. She came by for a meet and greet and Holly loved her right away. Emma sent daily photos and communicated with us throughout the stay. She was sweet with Holly and we felt comfortable leaving her in Emma’s care. We would definitely recommend Emma!
Hanna was great!! She sent photos, communicated with me and took my pup for a walk. My house looked like it was barely touched when I got home and my pup was super happy. She also helped me out with a friend’s pup emergency last minute!! Will totally book with her again! :)
