Dog Sitting Chadds Ford

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.

“Thank you Jessica! We appreciate your help!”

About: I have been a best friend to pets all my life! I grew up with a Coton named Renny, and now have four guinea pigs and a crested gecko who I adore. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes from 10 pound Cavaliers to a 150 pound Bernese! I also have experience in administering medication to dogs and small animals. I will always treat every pet as if they are my own and am exceptional at following your instructions so your pets will feel safe and comfortable. I am happy to provide my love and care for any and all animals you may need a sitter for and look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! I am currently an online student and working part time during the week. I am available to care for your pets all weekdays from 7am-9am and 5pm-9pm, plus any time at all on Saturdays and Sundays! I will care for your pets exactly as you do! Simply let me know you and your pets routine and I will stick to it exactly to ensure your pets feel happy and secure when you are away.

“Danica was great with Sophie (who is now a senior and needs her daily meds). Responds quickly, made last minute alterations as requested (my fault that I had my dates wrong), and followed all of Sophie’s needs to a T. Would highly recommend!”

“Amanda was an awesome drop in for our our cat! She was punctual, kind and gave Kitty her medication like a pro. We will absolutely be using for drop ins again soon!”

About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.

“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.

About: I've spent over 20 years caring for pets of my own and helping family and friends with theirs. I combine a genuine love of animals with the responsibility and reliability gained from a successful professional career, giving pet parents peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am available seven days a week for daytime dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their personality and needs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, keep pets securely leashed during walks, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.

“At first we were apprehensive about choosing a new individual to care for our pets. Our first interaction with Brady was that he was a typical uninterested young man who would be ok, but be nothing special. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and wrong in our initial assessment. Our assumption that he was disinterested was really him easily and fully understanding our needs the first time we explained them. He only asked intentional and poinient questions to get exactly the information he needed to provide an exceptional service; he didn't need additional clarification which made us think, wrongly, he was not fully engaged. Don't let his approach and directness fool you; he is fully committed to the job at hand and able to accommodate your and your pets' needs. Brady was excellent with our dog and cat while we were away. He took extra time to play with them daily even though it wasn't required. He was also easily willing to check on the house, find a missing mail package, and ensure the dog (who has storm anxiety) was her usual self after a major storm. He was very responsive to texts through the app even at odd times of day. We appreciate his willingness to be flexible with our delayed and changing flights and his anticipation of our needs. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”

About: Hi! I’m Maya, a lifelong animal lover with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and two cats of my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, you can count on your pet being in great hands! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I can stop by throughout the day for visits, walks, and check-ins, or, if preferred, I’m happy to work from your home so your pets have extra company and care while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Alix was super professional and attentive! Communication was prompt and we were able to fit in a video call beforehand to help me feel more comfortable. All of my specific feeding instructions were followed exactly, which was important since my cats are on different diets. Extra care was taken to play with the cats and help them feel comfortable. Alix also gave us a heads-up about a local storm warning and checked in to ask how to help our cats feel safe. As a thoughtful touch, a little gift bag with toys and treats was left behind. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely book again in the future :)”

About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you

“Gavin is really great with our little Leo. He took really good care and prompt on communication. I got really nice pictures and updates. Thanks Gavin.”

About: I’m an active sitter with experience caring for puppies, dachshunds, and large dogs. I can work on socialization, leash walking, and age-appropriate mobility or agility exercises. I understand breed-specific needs, from the gentle handling dachshunds require to the structure and energy management larger dogs need. My priority is providing safe, engaging, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m consistently available for walks and nighttime care. I plan my schedule around feedings, exercise, playtime, and check-ins to ensure pets feel comfortable, attended to, and never rushed. I prioritize safety in every environment and respect house rules, whether in my home or a client’s. As a dachshund mom, I understand how some dogs have special needs and personalities, and I tailor my care accordingly. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure space while supervising play, walks, and nighttime visits making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Matt. I love dogs and enjoy giving them a calm, comfortable place to stay while their owners are away. I grew up with dogs and have often helped care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs, so I know how important it is to have someone dependable who treats your dog like part of the family. I work from home in health IT consulting, which allows me to be present during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and general companionship. I only take one client at a time, so your dog will get plenty of individual attention and will not be in a crowded boarding environment. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment in West Chester with no children and no other pets. My home is best for small or mid-sized dogs who are comfortable in an apartment setting. While I do not have a fenced yard, I take dogs out for supervised leash walks, and the neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic. I’m happy to provide daily exercise, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and oral medication administration if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed if that is what they are used to at home. For safety and comfort, I always like to do a meet and greet before confirming a stay to make sure it is a good fit for your dog, your expectations, and my home environment. I can also provide recommendations/references from people whose dogs I have cared for. I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I’m especially a good fit for dogs who do well in a quieter home and enjoy walks, attention, and a predictable routine. Overnight boarding is based on Rover’s 24-hour booking period. I’m always happy to clarify drop-off and pick-up timing before a stay so there are no surprises. I look forward to helping your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I work from home in health IT consulting and have flexibility throughout the day. I’m usually home during the workday, which allows me to provide regular attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. During a typical day, I can take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours and provide walks or exercise based on the dog’s needs, energy level, and the weather. I also build in time for play, rest, and keeping the dog comfortable in a calm home environment. Because I only take one client at a time, I’m able to keep the schedule focused on that dog’s normal routine as much as possible. I ask owners to share feeding times, walk preferences, medication needs, crate routines, and any special instructions so I can keep their dog’s care consistent and predictable while they are away. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for dogs in my home. I live in a quiet, owner-occupied apartment with no children and no other pets, and I only take one client at a time so each dog receives individual attention. Before confirming a stay, I always prefer to do a meet and greet to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, my home, and the overall environment. I want both the owner and the dog to feel confident that it is a good fit. During a stay, I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, walking preferences, and any behavioral or comfort needs. I provide regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, supervised leashed walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Since I work from home, I am usually able to give dogs attention and supervision during the day. Dogs are welcome on furniture and the bed if that matches their routine at home. I do not have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on leash. My neighborhood has grassy areas and light local traffic, which makes it a good setting for regular walks. For safety and comfort, I currently accept dogs over 1 year old, crate-trained dogs only, and no females in heat. I can also provide oral medication administration when needed. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away.
