“Karen took very good care of our dog and our house. She is very responsible, send us lots of update photos and communicated with us in a timely manner.”

“So appreciative of Kailyn and what great care she took of Hazel and our home. And she did this while not feeling well. Her communication is exactly what we are always looking for. Quick to respond and she was proactive letting us know when she would be leaving the house. Highly recommend and look forward to using her again. Thank you Kailyn!”

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 had dogs all my life and love their company. I have a great yard for small to medium size dogs that is fenced in for safety. My home is safe and loving and a perfect place for your fur baby while you are away. I do not work outside my home so all fur babies will have my full attention. Lots of play time and cuddling. Lots of love. I have a fur baby myself named Barley. He loves all dogs and would be a great companion for you fur baby. He is a small dog, Cavapoo.

“Casey is awesome! She takes wonderful care of our 2 Kitties and goes above and beyond, even providing extra fun activities to keep them entertained during her visits. She always includes great pictures in the report cards as well. We so appreciate her fur-babysitting skills!”

“Mary was spectacular while sitting for our dog, Holly, overnight in our home while we were away. It was a short trip but she kept us updated constantly with photos and messages detailing how much she ate, her activity level, mood, and bathroom activity. Mary was punctual, so polite and pleasant to speak with, and extremely professional. You can tell she takes her job caring for animals very seriously. I would 100% recommend Mary and definitely plan to book with her again the next time we’re away.”

Tracy M.

“June took care of our two dogs for several days and was absolutely wonderful. She was clear and responsive in her communications before and during her stay. During the stay, it seems our dogs loved her and look to have had a great time while we were gone. We highly recommend June — and we look forward to working with her again!”

About: Professional-Grade Care for Every Member of Your Pack. Why choose us? We offer something most sitters can't: a decade of professional boarding experience combined with Alyssa’s extensive background as a Veterinary Technician. Even though I’ve transitioned from the clinic to being home full-time with our 6 children, my medical training is always "on." I have the clinical eye to spot health changes early and the technical skill to handle complex care. The "Safe Pack" Advantage: With a large family and our own resident pack (1 Lab, 1 Husky, 1 Cat), we are experts at "The Flow." We have successfully managed multiple dogs at once and maintain a consistent, calm environment through: • Clinical Observation: My vet tech experience means I’m constantly monitoring for hydration, stress levels, and GI health. • Expert Med Administration: Whether it’s simple pills or more involved medical needs, we treat your pet’s health as our top priority (available as an add-on service). • Safety-First Feeding: We feed all guests separately in crates to ensure everyone eats their own food in peace. • Supervised Yard Rotations: Our large fenced yard is used for structured, supervised play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level. We are the go-to home for long-term boarders (1–2 weeks) and multi-dog families. We’re home all day, providing constant supervision and plenty of "large-family" love. Please ensure your dog is on a flea preventative and let us know about their specific medical history and routine during booking. A Typical Day at Our Retreat Because we manage a "pack" environment, our day is built on a high-energy/low-energy rhythm that keeps the dogs calm and happy. • 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Morning Wake-Up & Breakfast Individual potty breaks followed by breakfast. For safety and peace of mind, all dogs are fed separately. • 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Supervised Yard Rotations This is prime play time! We have supervised sessions in our large fenced backyard. High-energy "athletes" get to run, while our seniors enjoy a sunbath at their own pace. • 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Mid-Day (Nap Time) After a busy morning, the house settles down for nap time. This structured rest prevents over-stimulation and keeps the "pack energy" balanced. • 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Afternoon Play & Socialization More yard time and indoor snuggles with our family and 6 children. There is always someone home to provide belly rubs and attention. • 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Dinner & Evening Potty Breaks Evening meals (fed individually) and a final round of yard time to burn off that last bit of energy. • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Wind Down & Cuddles The pack settles in for the night. Whether they are sleeping in a crate or a cozy dog bed, they are monitored and tucked in for a good night's rest. Professional Oversight & Medical Safety With my background as a Veterinary Technician, safety is the lens through which I view everything. I perform "nose-to-tail" wellness checks on my guests daily, monitoring hydration, appetite, and bathroom habits. Because I am home full-time with my husband and our 6 children, your dog is under constant, active supervision. We don't just "watch" dogs; we manage their well-being. The "Rotational" Environment Our home is designed for high-capacity safety. We utilize a structured rotation system to ensure every dog gets the right type of interaction: • Feeding Security: We have a zero-risk feeding policy. All dogs are fed separately. This eliminates resource guarding and ensures that every dog eats exactly what they are supposed to (and gets their specific medications) without interference. • The “Nap” Zone: We utilize crates and gated zones for "decompression breaks." In a busy house, these scheduled rest periods are vital for keeping the pack's stress levels low and preventing over-stimulation. A Secure & Active Yard Our large backyard is fully fenced and double-checked daily for integrity. Whether your dog is playing fetch with our kids or lounging with our resident Lab and Husky, they are always within eyesight of an adult. Trust Built Over a Decade We have been boarding for 10 years and have safely managed multiple dogs. We are comfortable with all temperaments and medical needs. We treat your "fur baby" like a temporary member of our large, loving family, backed by the expertise of a seasoned professional.

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.

“Colleen is amazing. 100% piece of mind is priceless to me when leaving my fur babies and knowing she’s there with them I can truly enjoy time away! She leaves the house spotless and observes all of the little notes we leave her keeping the pups on their normal routines. I’m so grateful. Colleen, thank you so much!”

Tamara A.

“Kendall was amazing. Very caring and loving to our pups. She takes the time and cares for them as if they are one of her own. Very professional and kept us informed while we were on our trip! Very happy with having her watch our pups!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have always loved caring for them, which naturally led me to want to expand my experience with dogs as well. I began working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, needs, medications, and energy levels. Today, I’m fortunate to make a living doing what I love—caring for other people’s pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, or simply some extra love while you’re gone, I’m happy to provide dependable and compassionate care. Your pets will always be treated with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I work full-time with dogs at a daycare facility and usually work second shift, so I have my mornings and afternoons free to hang out with your furry friend! We can spend the day going on walks, playing, getting some good snuggles in, and of course, taking plenty of naps. Then I’ll be back in the evening for dinner time, more cuddles, and some cozy bedtime company! When I’m caring for your pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible! I’ll follow all of the instructions you leave for me, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any little routines or preferences that help your pet feel at home. I’ll also make sure they have plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll send you regular photo and care updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind while you’re gone! I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and tidy. Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

“Tiffany took great care of our two cats, and our fish/turtle, and helped us by bringing in the mail also. She took great pictures of the cats throughout the stay and provided regular updates. The pictures made us smile and let us know our cats were in great hands. We would definitely hire her again!”

Brent H.

“We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!”

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.

About: I've had pets my entire life as well as foster doggies! I have learned so much through fostering and the different types of care / attention pets need as well as experience with different breeds & ages. Looking to fit visits into my schedule while still working my full-time job as an event manager. Available for early morning visits as well as evenings! Willing to do walks, playtimes, meals, anything to make a furry friend comfortable while leaving them home. I have worked with all different sizes of dogs, from being a dog foster home and had a cat growing up as well as 2 of my own now!

“I’m so glad I found Terry! I am new to the area and needed someone special to take care of my dog and cat the first time I went away from our new house. The pets adored Terry right from the meet and greet, and she took great care of them. A neighbor met her when they were out walking and mentioned how well it was going. I recommend her very highly!”

About: Hi. My name is Hope. I love dogs I have one of my own whom I pamper every day. I would love to walk or watch your dog in your home. or taking him or her to the park, giving your family member stimulation and fun and an active lifestyle. I would love to get to know your animal and help out as much as possible. I would adapt my dog walking and sitting style to fit your dogs special needs. I would also use a comforting tone and spend time with them as they miss you, or even in the early stages of getting used to a new home, I would find ways to make them comfortable while making sure they are fed, walked, watered, and know that they are loved.
