House Sitting Avondale

“Atlas, Molly and Triton enjoyed their time with Tina. We were away for a week and she did overnight stays with drop ins during the day. They did great with her and were happy and healthy when we got home. They get stressed in a kennel and were so much better with Tina. She also cleaned up the house which made returning home less stressful. The pups and I were super happy with Tina taking care of them! Triton gave her huge hugs when seeing her again so that was a great review from them!”

“We had such a great experience! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sent wonderful pictures and updates, and really took the time to make Phoenix feel comfortable. Phoenix can be an anxious boy and isn’t quick to warm up to new people, so seeing how happy and relaxed he was meant so much to us. By the end, he absolutely loved her and was even playing with her! It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Phoenix again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for years and have also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of ages, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs, strict medication schedules, and specific daily routines.I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing attentive, individualized care. Whether a dog needs medication, extra patience, a consistent routine, or simply plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a super flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care! I’m comfortable following individual feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around a pet’s specific needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions/routines, keep pets in a safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I want both pets and their owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care!

“June stayed in our home. Ike was well cared for, happy and relaxed when we got home. Communication was clear, and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely hire her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and horses since I was 10 years old. I ride horses currently, have taken care of my personal cats through their senior years, and cared for my parents dogs. I am well versed in medication administration as well. I work from home and have flexible availability. I will come to you and can keep your pet company, provide care, and monitor if needed. I would care for your pet as if they are my own. I adore animals and my goal is to keep them happy and comfortable.

“Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.”

“Chris was fantastic with our dogs! Our boy can be a typical husky but Chris was excellent with his high energy! They both seemed to have a wonderful time with her. She took them on nice long walks and lots of play time. We are so thankful to Chris for taking such great care of our babies so we could have a worry free weekend!”

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. :::

About: I have been working with animals my whole life. I have been a veterinarian technician for six years now. I love all animals and ready to give them all the love. I go above and beyond making sure every pet. Is taken care of. I use my whole lunch break to come by and love on your babies. I have the whole weekend off to spend every second with them. I always make sure that rules are followed to a T. No pets on the couch all good we can snuggle on the floor. Do we need to sit and wait before eating that’s fair.

About: Hello furry parents! My name is Lily and I’m excited to support you and your family. I have worked with all dog breeds and all ages through fostering. I am currently in my training certification program to provide proper education to you and your puppers. I am an online student looking to spend my free time with amazing pets. My top priority is to give all animals time and love. Whether it’s giving a long walk, using my dog park at my complex or administering medication, I’m your girl! When I would care for your pets, it’s all about the greeting. I would love to make sure your pets are as comfortable with you as for me! If you’d love me to help them learn tricks, feel free to request!

“Dylan and Sophie are awesome ! They have been watching Stormi and Puppy on and off now for a little over 2 months . Back when we initially met they came over for a meet and greet with our pups to make sure everyone was comfortable . They stay on top of communication with texts and photos and keeping us in the loop with any updates , Dylan and Sophie do and amazing job and they take such a large weight off our shoulders for leaving the pups for longer period of times . We will absolutely continue to book them !”

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

“Jamiah was great! She kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures to ease my nerves. Jamiah left the house clean and sparkling. We already have plans to book her again in July!”

“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”

“Lesley was wonderful! Very communicative and detail oriented, making sure she kept a good routine for our dog Lucy. She also did so many helpful household tasks like bringing in our mail and packages (some large) and refilling our dog food container for us before we got home. Would absolutely book again!”

About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.

“Claire took great care of my dog in my home while I was away. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”

About: Hi! My name’s Steph, and animals are my absolute favorite thing in the world. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, so I decided to make it my full time job😊 I genuinely love to learn about each of my furry clients, and if they are willing, I love to teach them as well! Dog training is one of my favorite hobbies! Furthermore, I pride myself in my ability to care for animals in a way that is specialized to their unique needs and/or wants. Whether your dog needs multiple walks a day, a lot of play time, medication administered, special attention to diet, undivided attention, or they just like to cuddle, I will provide it for them! (They will also be getting very spoiled, I can’t help it.) In the past, I’ve taken my new furry friends out to the dog bakery to pick out a treat or maybe a toy, walked them extra long on a nice day, sent them home with their favorite toy or treat they found in my enormous toy bin, and - my favorite - cuddled them all night. I love to bring animals into my home - or enter theirs - and make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and right at home. As a dog mom myself, that’s exactly how I would want my pet to feel in someone else’s care! Pet care is my full-time job, so my whole schedule revolves around animals! This means I can provide clients with walks or drop in visits at practically any hour, day, or even holiday. Additionally, this means that I am available to have your dog for daycare or provide walks during common business hours, like 9-5s during the week. Of course, too, it means I can house sit and board pets and provide pretty much 24/7 care for them!! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your pets safety will always be my number one concern. I will make sure to follow whatever precautions are necessary to keep them safe! Please let me know of anything to watch out for with your pet (allergies, doesn’t get along with dogs, reactive outside, etc), and I will make sure you feel comfortable and confident with them in my care! I think establishing trust with animals is so important, especially as a pet care giver. I always approach pets slowly, letting them come to me on their own time. If we are to do a meet and greet, I make sure they see my whole living space, meet my dog at a comfortable distance at first, and to the best of my ability, simply just try not to overwhelm them. Staying in a new place with a new person can be a lot! Moreover, I whole heartedly believe only in positive reinforcement, meaning I solely provide positive feedback or rewards to your pet, which entirely creates a relaxing and trusting environment as well as relationship!

About: I work in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for animals daily by feeding, cleaning, exercising, monitoring behavior, and ensuring their comfort and safety under professional supervision. I’m currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, bring your own if you have a big dog if not the case I have small ones.

“Jessica was amazing with our husky, Floyd. She took excellent care of him and went above and beyond by picking up a can of wet dog food when he wasn't eating much while we were away. She was great at communicating, sent multiple texts and pupdate pictures. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
