Dog Sitting Downingtown

About: I have been responsible for dogs and other small animal care from a very young age and would love the chance to care for yours! I am a former vet tech that primarily assisted in surgeries at an animal hospital that is a lover all dogs large and small. My daily tasks are a wide range to best cater to your pet’s needs. I am employed full time currently and will be available to walk your pups after 6pm during the week and have open availability on weekends to cater to all your pet care needs. I take a positive and friendly approach to animal care whether in my own home or within a client’s home. I am clean, organized and respectful while on the premises. My pet care typically consists of walks or daily exercise, medicine administration, preparing regular scheduled meals for your pet and as many pets and attention that your pet desires.

About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.

“We always ask Chelsea first when we’re in need of a sitter or someone to stop by for a potty break! We know our dogs are well taken care of with her.”

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I have personal experience caring for senior dogs, including pets with medical needs, special diets, medications, and specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to handle walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or just spend some time keeping them company. I know every pet is different, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible and treat them like I would my own. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. As a doctoral student, my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m currently at practicum on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m unavailable after 4 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to classes. Outside of those times, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and routines. While I don’t currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for pets where they’re most comfortable: their own home! I do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medications, crating or carriers when needed, and plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you’re away.

I have a flexible schedule but am most available on weekends for boarding so I can give your pup the most attention, please reach out for more information on my availability. I have a very friendly 8 year old King Charles Spaniel named Fanny who can keep your pet company, or if your dog needs/would like to be alone I can do that as well - my family often watches my dog at times and live nearby. I will take them out every two hours or more if needed and love to play fetch and snuggle. I love to walk and will make sure your dog gets exercise and time outside!

About: I have cared for dogs since I can remember! I wish I can adopt 20 dogs and give them a beautiful life but since I can’t, I have chosen this career instead.

I am recently in remission from cancer, extremely stable, and I make animals my full time job! I am free anytime! Day, night, weekends and weekdays I’m free to help!

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.

“Matthew is super reliable and takes amazing care of our two cats! We feel at ease and know Ivy and Cowboy will be well taken care of when we’re away. I highly recommend Matthew!!”

“Kathrine was fantastic! She came out for a meet and greet prior to the booking and immediately hit it off with our dog. She was professional and customer friendly start to finish. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks Kathrine!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs in clients’ homes before and I’m an attentive, responsible caregiver. I also have a background resource many pet sitters don’t: my girlfriend is currently in vet school, so I can draw on real veterinary knowledge when it comes to medical questions, medication schedules, or health concerns — not just guesswork. I also have two dogs of my own, ages 10 and 8, so I’m well versed in the needs of both older, mellower dogs and animals with more specific care routines. Whether your dog needs a calm, predictable environment or just an active playmate, I’ve got it covered I run my own online business, Peptrova, a peptide company, so my schedule is largely self-directed and wide open compared to a typical 9-to-5. That means I can prioritize your pet’s care around your timeline rather than squeezing visits in around a rigid job — whether that’s flexibility for last-minute bookings, longer visits, or being consistently available throughout the day for check-ins. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots to sleep. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same way. I also just genuinely have a lot of sympathy for animals — I notice when they’re anxious, uncomfortable, or acting off, and I take that seriously rather than brushing it aside. Combined with my girlfriend’s veterinary background, that means your pet is watched closely and cared for with real attentiveness, not just supervised.

“Johnnessa did a great job checking in on my two cats!”
