Dog Sitting Brookhaven

About: As long as I can remember I've been an animal lover. I grew up riding horses, working on farms, + living with no less than 3 dogs at a time in my house. As a kid I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I took in all sorts of animals that needed to be nursed back to health from birds + snakes to donkeys + kittens. It was a little like living in a zoo + I loved every second! I rode + trained horses competitively in high school. At 16, I qualified for the junior Olympic team in equestrian eventing. I’m now a mom, my own son is 16, and I own my own photography business capturing families + pets spreading joy + gratitude. Rover is a welcome addition to that career. I absolutely LOVE what I do + am thankful to have the opportunity to support myself + my son serving other animal loving families like us. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Tuesday through Thursday I’m in the office 8-5pm in King of Prussia. I’m typically available most weekends but can occasionally offer weekday evening bookings. Safety is a priority for me. I aim to keep your pets routine stable and comfortable so we stick with what they know and don’t try new things until trust has been built.

About: Hey! I'm a dog lover with tons of experience taking care of pups of all kinds. Your furry friend will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention while you’re away. You can count on me & my husband to keep your dog happy and safe until you’re back!🤍🐶 My schedule now days... I am a work-from-home mama who is available all week long and would love to spend more time taking care of pets. Environment… I do have a friendly pup boy 🐶 with a lot of energy so we are always having fun at home and going for walks. Always a happy, safe, and comfy place✨.

About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have any dogs around. I've learned how to take care of senior dogs while also being fortunate enough to have raised and trained a new puppy. I have experience with small dog breeds as well as large dog breeds. I currently work full-time, but I work from home! I am very active with my dog, constantly taking her on walks and to the park, always trying to get exercise when we can! There is a beautiful walking path next to where I live where I love taking my dog for a walk (on & off leash). I have a travel crate that goes with me on visits if needed as well.

About: Personal: Since I was little Verterenarian was always my dream job.. of course things change. I instead went into the Marine Corps and then opened a new chapter in Swim Instruction and Lifeguarding. Back then was when I got my first Cat in 2012. Currently I'm becoming certified in Massage Therapy and hope to move on to animal accupressure and therapy as well, so I'm unavailable between 7:30am and 2pm Mon-Thursday. I've been told by various people throughout my life how I have "the touch" and that they or their pets feel oddly soothed by me. I have even met people and their dogs while on hikes and been invited right there to care for their picky pets(uninterested in humans.) It's always special when dogs come to me for comfort in a room full of people which has happened a few times. One of the most notable ones was an old Sheltie who wouldn't come out from behind the couch (afraid of lightning); I wound up holding her failing hips and hitting some feel-good points to coax her out and back to normal. I grew up with a Husky/Lab/Chow mix and a Yorkie-Poo. Later I shared/trained a MinPin-Chiuwuawa and most recently had my own Jack Russell/Chiuwawa mix and would always get compliments on how well-behaved they were. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and can hit certain spots when massaging them or just transfer energy somehow that seems to really speak their language. I'm an animal too in every good sense of the word! My life experiences have trained me to think on my feet and innovate my way out of any obstacle, with a laugh in my heart and a respect for the waves. Schedule: When I schedule through Rover, it has my full attention, and I won't leave to do other work unless it's specifically OK'd through you (then I may go out just to do a few deliveries and come back within 2 hours... though I certainly wouldn't leave 2 unfamiliar doggies alone whatsoever even if they were friends!) I can rise to your preference of potty and meal schedule, no sweat! If you're okay with your dog staying home during school for extended trips you may need to take, we can set them up in their own room or area of the house. Safety, Trust & Environment: I'd like to introduce my dog Pitunia as an extremely sweet, curious, receptive dude. We take big camping trips with friend's families (dogs, kids) and do exceptionally well. Each animal can perceive various tones in voice or touch or types of play differently, so I do take safety quite seriously. We don't play tug without practicing "LET GO" - I think it's relatable playing with toys and having some accidental nips - that said he really amazes me by Letting Go. I make sure to reward for every good behavior and only teach "no" if I'm distinguishing between "yes.". When we have multiple dogs it's important to feed at the same time and in separate areas. I typically have mine "wait" and he will sit or lay in his area until I set down the food, which comes in handy for multi-dog safety ☺️ Pitunia and I have also completed the Paws For People Therapy Program, where we trained with other dogs weekly to condition for working in hospitals, etc, so he is such a well-trained marshmallow. Manners tend to need constant upkeep though, as I'm sure you probably know with your loveable friend who might Also be: inquisitive eager jumpin and bumpin with affection, tail whippin butt wigglin and kissin!!! So we always keep at it😌.

“Thank you Raegan! I loved all the pictures and all the great info. You gave me about how Sunny is doing. You really love animals I can tell!! I will be booking you again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all dogs big and small since I was young. I plan to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals. I naturally incorporate pet care into my daily routine, so your dog will get consistent attention, love, and structure throughout the day. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for I always follow any specific instructions given from each family. I understand every families needs and wants are different for their furry friends and I give updates and videos to assure you I am giving the best care I can give.

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.

About: My laberdoodle, Cody, passed away about a year and a half ago. We brought him home at 6 weeks old and had the opportunity to spend 13 amazing years with him. Within those 13 years, I gained the exposure and knowledge to care for a dog during all life cycles— puppy and senior. Cody also had epilepsy, so I am familiar with giving medication and what to look for/ warning signs in dogs with epilepsy and senior dogs. I am also a dog walker/sitter for a beautiful 3 year old rescue named Wheezie. Spending time with her has brought so much joy to my life. My schedule is very open right now and I’m extremely flexible so please feel free to message me for drop-ins, house sitting, or last minute bookings! I am also extremely active and would love to take your dogs for a walk and get my steps! Looking forward to chatting! I am currently in between jobs and looking to do something in the meantime! I’d like to combine my love for animals and walking whilst doing something flexible to my schedule. I treat all animals as if they’re my own. Always respecting the dogs space and property is #1. I have a fenced in yard with a pool if they need to come back here for any reason!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I love meeting new dogs and cats. When I am out at a park I always want to say hi as long as the owner is ok with saying hello. I am available daily for pet visits, walks and playtime. I am a full time pet sitter and available to fit your schedule or if you go on vacation. I will follow all instructions in and at your home. If you want a drop in visit I will be sure to play with them and give them lots of attention.

About: I grew up around animals and have had several dogs myself, so I know how l'd like my dog treated as a pet owner. I regularly take care of family and friends' dogs when they're away and have gotten along with pretty much any dog l've ever met. I am currently not working a full time job and have most days available including weekend days. I can match my schedule to your pet care needs. After greeting your dog and either running around the backyard or getting in a good walk to tucker them out, I'll make sure they have all the food, water, and pets they need while you're away

About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

“Nicole was great! She cared for our 8 year old lab for 4 days while we were out of town. She was always on time, clearly communicated, took lots of pictures and our pup was happy to see her. We will definitely use Nicole again!”

About: I have a love for all animals, but especially for dogs. I have experience with both dog day care and dog walking services. I have taken care of my own dogs over the years, both big and small, and would love to have an opportunity to care for others. I would love to sit for other kinds of pets as well. I have had a number of pets over the years, including cats, fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and geckos. I live right near the airport, so drop off and pickup around your vacation is super convenient! I am available all day every day to care for your pet. Spending quality time with animals is therapeutic for me. I love taking the time each day to care for them and play with them. I love exercising with pets and making sure they are happy and healthy. I prefer to spend at least an hour with each pet. Taking the time to play, exercise, and eat good food is essential! I love to make sure a pet's quality of life is just as good as mine.

“Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.”

About: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and in between. Training experience with multiple breeds and will love them as if were my own. Available for any animal, not limited to dogs. I am typically available by appointment as I have a very flexible, work from home career. Occasionally I am free immediately, no harm in asking. I am versatile with any upbringing strategy the owner prefers. If there are specific rules or training methods they are working toward, I will help cross the finish line. If they just want someone to keep their best friend happy and safe, I can do that too.

“Angela is a very thoughtful and attentive caretaker for cat drop ins! We were so fortunate to have her care for our two cats for a week over the holidays and she made sure they felt the love, and we were at ease being away for an extended period of time knowing that she was caring for them.”

“Ella was great with our cat Mason! She spent plenty of time with him while we were away, and made sure to get him up and playing. She made sure to update us on how each visit went and made us feel comfortable that Mason was in good hands. Will be booking again in the future!”

Josh N.

“Michael is amazing! He goes above and beyond and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with him dropping in a few times a day. I have never left my dog with someone I didn’t know. He sent pictures during all of his visits and even bought my big guy a new toy which has become his favorite! Michael also took my recycling bins out just to be kind. Truly above and beyond. Thank you for giving my family peace of mind knowing our dog was safe and cared for so we could enjoy vacation!”

About: Hello my name is Gia! I am currently a surgery tech at an animal shelter. I have always enjoyed caring for my own as well as family and friends pets to help out when needed. Because of my job I am experienced with all sorts of animals and their medical needs, temperaments and personalities. I am fear free certified which just means I am able to adapt my care approach better for all sorts of situations! I’ve always had a love for caring for animals weather they're my own or belong to someone else no matter how tedious or difficult their specific care may be. I enjoy dedicating my time to providing care for others animals in and outside of work, I can just never get enough. I do currently work full time so unfortunately I'm only able to care for others pets on the weekends as well as spend some time with my own. I will treat all animals like they are my own providing the absolute best care possible. Not only are you trusting me with your pet, but your home as well which is why I’d take extra precautions to make sure everything is set and secure not only for you but your pet.

About: I’m a dog mom of one dog. I rescued her from Puerto Rico a few years ago. I’ve also assisted in transporting dogs from Puerto Rico to the states. We have an active life and enjoy hiking. I will provide fun and activities for your dog. I can come to your house or the dog comes to my house. If you feel more comfortable with just your dog at my house that can be arranged. I know how some dogs sometimes prefer to be the only pet at home. I currently work at home and available all day. I can provide the constant attention your dog will need. I have a fenced in yard. I will provide multiple walks throughout the day. I can dog sit at your house or my house. I have plenty of parks nearby for walks. There’s also hiking trails nearby. I offer dog baths for an additional fee if interested.
