Dog Boarding in Coatesville

I worked as Manager and previously as a Vet Assistant at Downingtown Animal Hospital for 10 years and I love all animals! I would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away.

This year I decided to make caring for your pets my full time job. I don't even like calling it a "job" for caring for them never seems like work. They are a blessing!

I have 6 cats and two amazing rescue pups! Bear Bear (has crossed the rainbow bridge) was a foster failure from 6 years ago--I just couldn't let him go--and Lenny and Ellie came to me 3 years ago. (Both are with Bear Bear now) They were litter mates that I had been pet sitting for two years. The owner had to re-home them and I could not take the chance of them being separated (they are eleven) so I offered to love them till the end!

I am married and have two children ages 18 and 16 who also have a love of animals, so your pets won't want for attention!

Some of my most favorite house guests are the elderly and "special needs" I had a favorite basset named Lucy that is blind who visits us often. (She has since traveled the rainbow bridge).

I am able to administer medications, change doggie diapers, give injections, and give fluids under the skin if needed.

My back yard is fenced in and all my animals are used to me having "furry" sleepover guests.

I also have references available upon request!

Thank you for your consideration!

Why I love dog sitting

My wife and I have been dog lovers all of our lives. From my first dog Coco to Tiffany's German Shepherd she got on her 6th birthday we knew from an early age that we had a special connection with our furry friends!

Meet my pets

Our home is located in a family orientated neighborhood in Downingtown, PA. We have plenty of room in our yard for your pet to run and play in addition to plenty of quiet neighborhood streets to walk along. We currently have one dog, Barkley and two cats, Milo (he has thumbs!) and Tootie, both of which get along great with dogs!

About my yard

We have a grass covered fenced in back yard of approximately 1/2 of an acre.

I love animals and have had dogs and assorted pets all my life.

I live on a tree-lined neighborhood and my home sits on one and one-third acres. Exercise is provided with at least two walks a day. I, and my guest pups enjoy walking in the many beautiful parks that are in this area of Chester County and/or my neighborhood, your choice.

I am retired , which means I am able to provide your special pet with lots of attention while you are away.

Currently, I am without a pet and would love to host your dog(s) with all the love, care, and fun, they deserve in my home like they were my own.

My last dog was a Golden Retriver, and the best friend in the world.

*For the benefit of both the client and host, a Meet n Greet is required in most circumstances.

Small fenced-in area for potty breaks; play area. Long leads in yard (I am outside also). Up to two walks a day , weather permitting, or what is requested by pup’s family.

I've grown up with dogs and various other animals. I have a natural kinship with dogs and I love taking them for walks. I am experienced in feeding, walking, and pet sitting. I have worked with trainers in the past and know some techniques to help with walking and discipline. My availability is pretty flexible and I can work full time. I would take great pride and pleasure in tending to your animals. The safety and well being of your dog would be my main priority. I would make sure to be punctual and keep a consistent eating and walking schedule. I find that dogs bring me great joy, so I take great pride in my job and it would be a pleasure to make sure they are happy and safe.

We are a dog family and love all dogs! We would love to host your dog in our home and provide lots of one on one playtime with plenty of hugs and love. We have a roomy backyard and love to take walks. We have two girls (age 10 and 14) who are very comfortable and good with dogs. Your dog will be treated like royalty and will be the only dog in our house. We will consider two dogs if they are from the same family.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am a 9 lb Shih Tzu and my name is Phoenix.

The best sitter for you is my mommy Kristin. Although it will be tough to share her I am willing to do so and you can rest assured that your loved one is in good hands!

She loves me so much! How do I know this? I know this because she tells me constantly in her baby voice, she gives me endless kisses, tells me how lucky she was to get me and how happy I make her! She feeds me, plays with me, takes me for walks, takes me to the doctor and always gives me a day of beauty. I come home looking and smelling so good!

There is no place I’d rather be than on mommy’s lap, and when she’s not available daddy’s will do.

Now that you have heard what my baby Phoenix has said........I would love you to put your trust in me to take care of your 4 legged family members. I have loved and owned animals all my life. Also, when I was younger, I worked at the Humaine Society in Michigan. Took care of all the animals.. cleaning, feeding, walking. Helped streamline the adoptions.

I am very dependable, trustworthy, flexible and affectionate. I know how special they are. They are family.

I am a stay at home Mom so I am available most every day even on short notice. Please contact me for a meet and greet. Looking forward to meeting you and your baby.

My name is Rheanna, I am 32 years old. I am a Seattle native, born and raised, until May of 2017, I had never been east of Houston. My boyfriend, Dennis, is from West Chester, PA. His father suffered from a massive heart attack at the end of April 2017, which led to us basically dropping everything and moving across country to help him out with his lawn mowing business while he recovered.

I have an extreme love of our wonderful K9 friends (all animals really). Dogs are an amazing gift that we, humans, have been graced with the opportunity to love and cherish. Without the dogs (family members) I've had the utmost pleasure of having, and calling my own, my life would be significantly less. They have all had such an impact on my life, I can't even put into words the amazing benefits my puppies, kitties (they are all babies in my eyes) and all the other barn-yard animals I've had pleasure to know have brought me.

I've always had a very strong connection with virtually every dog I've come in contact. I've experienced meetings with friend's dogs, which at the time of or before meeting these new friends of mine, I was warned: this dog is timid, this dog is hesitant in the beginning, give it time he will relax when he does you two will be best friends. Warnings of dogs that are hesitant in the beginning when meeting a new person. Every time I've been given this sort of warning, the dog has relaxed and learned to love me in a significantly reduced amount of time, compare to other meetings of new people.

I am a strong, firm but extremely loving alpha. Dogs respect me, as I respect them. I seem to possess an ability to understand and communicate with our furry friends. I have a particular fondness for the larger dogs, but this is mostly due to the teddy bear like qualities of the gentle giants. But every dog has a personality, and I love to learn the ins and outs of each and every one of them.

To me, dogs are our children. I love them all. Your best friend will reap the benefits of being showered with my love and devotion while you are away. And there is never any need to worry about your dog while you are away and he/she is in my care. My K9 instincts are strong, and I guarantee, if these were your children, I'd be the babysitter they'd request while you are away.

I've had Dennis accompany me to meet with clients, in an effort to guarantee every promise and need is met, no matter what unforeseeable event life can throw at me. He's really great with the dogs, in my entire life, I've never really met anyone that is on the same level as me with dogs and their acceptance, until I met him. As you read my reviews, you will see he has has been a great addition to round out this team.

He's owned dogs his entire life, but currently neither of us have a dog. I'd love to bring Dennis with me to our Meet and Greet, so if this is something you're comfortable with we'd both love to meet you and your pooches! (this is entirely your decision, at any time, you are more than welcome to change your mind, you and your dogs comfort is one of our top priorities.)

Dog sitting: Mastiffs, Pit-bulls/Stafford Shire Terriers, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Chocolate Labs, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, German Short Hair Pointers, Bulldogs, Boxers, Chow Chow, Poodles, Dobermans, Great Danes, mixes but I'll accept any breed.

Why I love dog sitting:

I have loved dogs as long as I've owned dogs. My family got our first family dog when I was in the 4th grade. I have had a quite indescribable relationship with dogs ever since. There is a connection, we just seem to get each other. I am a strong alpha, with a loving touch. My own personal, most significant story, would be that of my best friend Wiley. He was a German Shepherd, with quite an extensive amount of training. He was owned by the woman my dad dated from the time I was in the 6th grade until just after the 8th grade. The only way I can describe my relationship with this dog was that we were soul mates. We just got each other. No words were needed, we were able to communicate on a much higher level of senses. Wiley had Search and Rescue training, protection training, poison training (trained to not take food from strangers), and he responded to commands in four languages, German being the one he never hesitated to follow. Unfortunately, Wiley was trained in a method no one should tolerate. After 6 years of physical harm for simple slip-ups, we refused to allow his owner to take him with her when she moved away. The following year, we had x-rays taken of his spine. There were three sections, one 6 inches long, another 4 inches long, and the third 4-5 inches long in his tail, where the bones had fused together with calcium deposits, due to being struck on the spine. The most difficult day of my life was making the decision to end his pain. Within two years, I had his name tattooed on my right ankle. It will be 11 years ago, this June, since I lost my best friend. I have yet to find any dog quite as amazing as he, but I know there is another. This was just the beginning of my lifelong love of all things K9. If I could, I'd have a big huge dog of my very own to come home to everyday. Cuddle up with, laugh, love, hug, cry and share my life with. Unfortunately, I do not have the time necessary. The money needed in the event every mother's worst nightmare comes true and a trip to the hospital is necessary. And, although I love all dogs, I've never had a dog smaller than 40 or 50 lbs. I'd love to get to know your best friend, and experience all the amazingness he has to offer the world. I guarantee a very happy dog (or cat; cats were the beginning of my lifelong love and desire to see each and every animal cared for and loved to the fullest extent) when you return home.

My experience administering medication

At the age of 13 I was giving our family dog an aspirin every day for his arthritis. My pill administering technique is an extremely low-stress for the dog, always rewarded with a treat, and lots of love. I am also comfortable giving shots, but have far less experience in doing so.

I have a single home and have one dog that your dog will love to play with. I rescued my one dog and want to help others find a good loving sitter. It is hard to leave your pet in another person's care not knowing if they will be taken care of. You are welcome to visit my home and my dog to make sure you and your pet would be comfortable. I have a big back yard and a field that they would love to take walks on.

Meet my pets

I have a home that has enough room for my pets (and yours) to be comfortable. I will be putting up a fence so that your loved ones can go out and get fresh air and play. I am very sensitive about leaving dogs out for long periods of time in cold weather. I have the room to take your dog (or dogs) for walks. I always ask for a "meet and greet" so that you can see my home and see where your dog will spend playful time while you are away. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet!!

Your dog will love Eagle Crest Dog resort! Formerly an animal sanctuary, our property offers multiple pastures to run in and multiple structures to play on including a dog pirate ship! Your dog will enjoy hours of play time during the day and get a tremendous amount of exercise. We also have a large open barn to explore, play and run around in on those rainy days.

Ever since I was a child, I have always loved all animals. I grew up with several dogs, cats and brothers! My last cat that was diabetic; we use to have to give her insulin and medication twice a day for most of her life and can provide injections if your animal needs them as well. My wife and I currently have two children that love playing with the animals also, but we do not currently have any animals of our own. We frequently watch our family and friend’s dogs that love to come visit; I sometimes think that we have as much fun as the animals do!

This is truly a great playground for our 4 legged friends! Your dog will be in a doggy dreamland while you are away!
