About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 4 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I make it a priority to be reliable and responsive so pet owners can feel confident and not have to worry while they are away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel at ease. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always want them to feel comfortable and secure.
About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. Having owned my own dog and successfully trained my family's dogs, I understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement required to build good habits and keep dogs happy. Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a mature dog set in their ways, I know how to adapt my approach to their personality. I’ve run my own business for the past 5 years my schedule is flexible. And live right near a a dog friendly park for nice walks I give my dogs a daily routine and stick to a strict schedule for them with walks almost everyday. I also have experience giving medicine and taking care of dogs with extra needs

About: I grew up in a household with many animals and have always loved walking our dogs and taking care of the cats and other animal friends.

Best, Sieira I am currently a college student at West Chester University and a part-time employee at Wawa, so my availability depends on the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am able to be booked for walks or drop ins from 11:30am until 5pm. Saturdays I am only available in the afternoon, from 4pm to 8pm. Sundays I am available anytime requested in the morning until 5pm! I always ensure the pet is comfortable on walks, offering plenty of sniff breaks and giving them lots of water afterwards. For drop ins, I would love to hang out with your pet and allow for some fun socialization when they need it! I always do a temperature check on what the pet is feeling before taking action, as every animal is different and has various needs.

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. :::
“Thalita was wonderful with our dog! She also made sure our dog got plenty of water, had some calming music for while back in her crate, and ensure she has her lunch! Thalita sent plenty of photos and provided updates. Made our time more relaxing knowing she was in great hands!”
About: “Wow, he usually never lets anyone get that close!”. My pet-sitting journey first began when I was 11. My neighbor hired me to care for both their oldest and younger pups. Ever since, and even before, I’ve been trusted to watch over / make friends with kittens, Newfoundlands, parrots, horses, snakes, pigs, squirrels and more :) As a recent University of Pittsburgh graduate formally transitioning into cybersecurity, I have a decent workload that can be spread across any time of day, and most importantly around any commitments! Communication is key. I know you wouldn’t leave your pup / cat if you didn’t have to, and I’m here to ensure that it feels like you never did. Appreciate your time away with no worries about the ones back at home!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life along with walking and taking care of various friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets. Everything from small mini poodles to large huskies, energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, kittens to adult cats. I work a full time hybrid job (mostly remote) and have a large amount of flexibility. I’m great with scheduling ahead for play time, walks, or check-ins with your pets and can also be flexible with last minute requests. I’ve always considered my pets family and treat the pets I walk or watch the same way. I’m always very attentive during dog walks to keep them safe while having a fun walk. In home care, like giving food & water or playtime are a big part of my daily life at home, so I’m ready to do the same for your fur babies
About: For the past four years, I have volunteered with the ASPCA, where I have gained valuable hands on experience caring for animals of all ages. In addition, I have worked as a pet sitter for the past three years and have become a trusted dog walker and pet sitter within my community, providing reliable care whenever families need assistance. My experience extends well beyond pet sitting. My family and I have fostered more than 50 dogs, ranging from newborn puppies to senior dogs, who needed to be loved exclusively during their final stages of life. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I am deeply committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. My highest priority is to ensure each animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for while in my care, giving pet owners complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you! I’m a student at Villanova University and currently commute to classes, so I always have reliable transportation and the flexibility to accommodate your pets’ needs. I will mention that, on some days, I’ll need to be away for a maximum of 3-3.5 hours at a time due to my class schedule during the week. :) I prefer to care for pets at the clients home, as our dogs are all rescues and not friendly around other animals. I offer a variety of services to fit your pet's needs, including dog walking, drop-in visits, daytime pet sitting, overnight stays, and check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or companionship while you're away. I will treat your pets like family and will always care for them as if they were my own!

Jaclyn was wonderful with my dog Cinder, available on short notice and flexible/accommodating on visit times. She kept Cinder engaged and active, including going on long neighborhood walks, and sent photos and updates during the visit which put me at ease while at work. I very much plan to use Jaclyn again in the future and highly recommend her walking and sitting services!
Malavika is a lifesaver! My big dog took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s wonderful at keeping me updated and always makes sure his walks are the highlight of his day. I really appreciate how reliable and attentive she is to my specific instructions. I’ll definitely keep using her services and recommend her to everyone! Five stars!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
