House Sitting in Downingtown

About: I have loved dogs since adopting my rescue dog when I was a child. Ever since then I have learned a lot about being a pet owner! I can walk, bathe, play with, feed, and love on your sweet fur babies! I am also able to administer medicine if needed & I am open to learning any special care your pet may need! I was previously a veterinary assistant for 2 years, and have a bachelors in Animal Science. I have taken care of many of my neighbors animals, including cats and dogs all sizes. I can change litter and love on cats as well! I am able to go on long walks and I love to be outside and active with pets. I also love fetch! I have a flexible schedule most days and reliable transportation every day. I can’t wait to meet your pups!! I work full time, but have flexible mornings Tuesday and Thursday, and shortened days Wednesday and Fridays. My weekends are typically open and I am happy to do overnight stays. I don’t accept pets in my home, due to living in an apartment. I am happy to come to your home where your fur baby already feels safe and comfortable!

“Marissa was awesome. She loved our pups so much when we were away. We came home to a clean house and happy pups. Allie was telling me all about it. She sent pictures daily and responded when immediately when I texted her. So glad we finally found our go to sitter.”

“Stephen is very experienced and mature, not to mention friendly. We only needed to him to be a companion initially, but we will trust him with much more complex situations if one arises.”

Steve G.

“She did amazing would definitely book her again”

Janeal M.

“What a great experience! He was very responsive and attentive. We have 5 senior pets and he took special care for and loved on each despite their quirks and special needs. Loved the pictures and updates provided throughout the stay and we can tell they are all happy and content upon our return. Would definitely recommend!”

Corinna B.

“Brady was fantastic. He communicated with us throughout our entire trip letting us know how Holly was doing and making she we knew she was happy and well cared for. He took care of and respected our home. We would not hesitate to have him back!”

Kristina R.

“Mary was great with the boys and everything looked great when we returned. Awesome communication. Would definitely use her for any other times we need assistance!”

“This was the first time our two older golden retrievers had stayed with a pet sitter that was not either part of the family or a close friend. Lori handled them very well, even though one was quite stubborn for her. She texted me daily pics and was great to work with. Highly recommend!”

Priscilla D.

“She is fantastic. My pups loved her”

“Michaela was amazing! She was able to help us out with our 2 German Shepherds on pretty last minute notice, and made sure to make time to have a meet and greet before hand. We were nervous to leave our dogs, especially our puppy who is only 5 months, but Michaela took such great care of them. She made sure to send us a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very quick to respond. We came home to a clean house & happy pups! We would 100% use Michaela again.”

Jordyn P.

“Took great care of the boys!”

About: Hey there! My name is Emily and I am a recent grad who has moved back to the area. I have always been an animal lover, and during grad school, I was able to broaden my animal care experiences! I am a dog mom to a German Shepherd named Gemma. She is a rescue and dog-reactive (but loves all people!), so I have extensive experience with walking and handling reactive dogs! Rest assured, when I care for your pets, Gemma will NOT be present. I was an avid foster and volunteer while in grad school for organizations such as Big Paws of the Ozarks, Fayetteville Animal Services, and Best Friends Resource Center. We have had fosters of a variety of ages and breeds. Additionally, I spent most of my Saturdays at the local farmers market with an adoptable shelter pup working on socialization and leash skills with fellow volunteers. Lastly, before moving, I was also a part-time employee at a pet resort that offered daycare, boarding, and grooming services. Hereto, I was able to care for even more dogs (and even some cats!). I am passionate about animal care and would love to take care of your pets, whether it be for walks, check-ins, or house sitting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am happy to chat :) I am currently located around the 19464/19343 area. Note: I am able to do check-in visits for cats and hang out for a bit, but cannot house sit because I am allergic. As a recent grad on the job market, I have a ton of free time to take care of your pets! Whether it be morning, midday, or evening walks or check-ins, I’m your gal! In your home, whether it be for a walk, check-in, or housesitting, I am happy to follow any rules that you have in mind! Since I am used to walking a reactive dog, I am extremely observant on walks for anything that might trigger a reaction.

About: A friend asked me to dog sit for a weekend, then turned into every summer for the past 5 years. I love meeting new furry friends. It is so enjoyable to get to them, gain their trust and learn their different personalities. Most importantly let their owners enjoy their vacation knowing their pups in good hands I currently work full time during the week. The weekends are my best time to do boardings, drops in and walks. Once i’m committed to your pup I focus on just them for the weekend. To try to limit any additional stress or anxiety from a change in their routine with a new friend I like to meet with the parents and the pets before boarding! It makes the pets more comfortable and allows me to hear what their routines. As well as, what they like, don’t like any triggers to be aware of. I have a fenced in back yard so lots of room to play!

“Great, responsible sitter! Our two boys were well loved!”

“Mary was amazing! She took great care of my dog. She sent pictures and was great communicating and sharing the day with me. I 100% recommend her!!”

About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience, including drop ins and overnight stays! I have cared for dogs with anxiety and those with lots of energy! I’ve found I enjoy working with all types of animals because I love to get to know their personalities and spend time with them. I am currently a nursing student which shows my inherent need to help others, including furry friends. I will take care of your pets as well as I do my own! I am currently home from college and working a part-time job. I am available anytime to watch your animals either that is stop by or stay over! I provide services in clients’ homes, where I follow the provided care instructions. I will actively interact with the animals while keeping the place clean.

“Alyssa did a great job spending the evening with my anxious little puppy. She was sensitive & patient with his anxiety and behavior and gave me some good feedback when I got back. I will definitely have Alyssa back.”

Suzanne B.

“Kylie has a quiet kind of confidence, and seems to know what she is doing. Our doodle felt very comfortable around her, and she followed the instructions well. We highly recommend her.”

“My wife and I were delighted with the job Lila did for our dog, Doc. He is a rescue with abandonment issues, and this is the first time we are leaving him for an extended vacation of three weeks. Of course, he missed us, but he is doing fine, and our home was taken care of well. We will be using her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life, growing up I had a family dog that I took care of since he was a puppy, rescued him from the street and be there for him till the end. Always proactively learning new ways to better take care of our furry friend, try to provide more and better. I work close by for 4 days of a week, I can provide walks every 3-4 hours depends on the need. I take boarding starting Thursday afternoon till Sunday if you needs short road trip! I have a studio apartment with minimal furniture, gives a whole living room to provide exercise. The apartment also includes a dog park for socialization and fun!
