“Chelsea was awesome. 👏 She paid careful attention to Winston and was patient with him as he was a bit reluctant to walk with a new person. She followed all my instructions and took care of our baby. Will use her anytime I need help with Winston in the future.”
About: I've been the primary person caring for the household dog for over five years now. I have a keen eye for details and a high sense of responsibility when it comes to the care of those who cannot speak for themselves. I also have experience hosting for multi-day sleepovers and managing the dynamics of a small (2-3 dog) temporary pack. I work full time during the week, but am available all major holidays and weekends. I currently walk and feed my dog twice a day, so adding your pup to the routine would be a breeze! Although I don't have a fenced in yard, there is a safe neighborhood nearby where we walk our dog daily. I have one dog currently who has loved every other dog he's ever met and would be happy to share his toys! We do allow pets on the couches & beds, but would be able to crate at night if that is preferred.

I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays!

About: My wife and I love being with our dogs, we have 3 adopted dogs and 1 dog we received as a newborn puppy, and love meeting other owners and their pets. We take our dogs for walks at our lovely park across the street or to the dog park to let them run free with the other dogs. We also have a 5 acre yard for any animal to do what they please. We take our dogs on hikes on the red rock trails, have lots of toys for them to play with, spoil them with the right amount of dog treats. We have a specialized dog food brand we use and cook our dogs fresh meat for them to eat, they don't seem to mind.

About: I have owned all types of animals my entire life. Ranging from cats and dogs to rats and goats. I also have owned bearded dragons, snakes, and other reptiles. I work with dogs and cats in my free time (even being fortunate enough to care for some police k9 across multiple departments in the Kennel and Boarding section of Quakertown Veterinary Clinic: Baron, Ranger, Jaso, Revo, Jax, and more!) I am an extremely patient person; especially with animals and love to take great care of them. I have owned small dogs and large dogs; currently I own two English Mastiffs, so I am adept in taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have been educated through the Upper Bucks County Technical School, personal experience, and now Delaware Valley University. In these experiences I have learned how to work with, walk, and entertain pets of all species. With me, I will make sure that your pets are well taken care of and that you don't have to worry about your pet being alone and not taken care of. I hope to be able to give you and your pets my 100%!

About: I have been working in animal rescue and doing pet sitting going on 30yrs. I love all animals and truly believe that a happy animal is a mentally and physically stimulated animal...and let’s not forget... well LOVED!! I foster dogs of all kinds, as well as have one of my own, who is my “baby”. I have experience with pretty much every kind of dog there is, from chihuahuas to Great Danes, from laid back to high strung, and from timid to aggressive. Over the years, I have learned how to handle dogs pretty well. I am confident and comfortable with dogs of all kinds as long as I am aware of any issues they may have ahead of time. I’ve just about seen and done it all! I view my animals as “family members” as I’m sure you do also. I am 100% reliable and trustworthy, and come with excellent references! I am an excellent communicator and possess the ability to make good judgement calls if need be! Please consider me to help you out with your pooch! Hope to hear from you soon!!
About: I will treat your babies the same as my own. Our animals are our family. Growing up, I had fur siblings. They may have had four paws, but they still got birthdays, they still got a Christmas stocking, and if someone got a sweet treat, they did too. I think I am different, but my whole life, I have looked at animals more than just that. They are companions that we love for part of our lives, but we are an entire lifetime to them. They love unconditionally and deserved to be given the same. I went from being 5 and taking naps with my family's lab, to riding horses by 10, to volunteering at the shelter by 12, groomer by 19, and certified in behavior, nutrition for cats and dogs at 22. I love animals. My commitment to always wanting to learn more about them and give them the best possible care, sets me apart. I am currently not working, and I have a 5-yr old son full time. He will be going to school in the fall, but I am looking for something to be able to do until them. I have a very open schedule. Your home will be treated as you left it, unless your fur child says otherwise which I will happily document and send to you in the moment. I want to create an environment that I am your fur babies' best friend, so when you are not home, maybe they won't miss you too much :)

They enjoy walks outside in their cat stroller and constant attention and play.

“Sabrina watched my dog (female chihuahua, now 9 years old) from 2019-2023 while I was going to college and she was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! Her kind and bubbly personality for both pets and owners put my mind at ease! My dog always had so much fun and left with a wagging tail and a smiley face!! Sabrina always makes sure to give the dogs plenty of time to run around outside and ensures all of their dietary restrictions are strictly upheld so no upset tummies to any pup! She also has a wide selection of toys for dogs and cats that left my pup amazed! She even ensured my dogs favorite toy stayed with her and stayed clean! I loved having Sabrina watch my pup and wish I didn’t live so far away so she could continue watching her!”
