“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”
“Ryan was very responsive, and provided regular updates on our pets while we were away. He also went the extra mile and took out our trash and left the house cleaner than when we left.”
“Luie took SUCH great care of our 3 doggies! He sent a TON of pictures, which we greatly appreciated, and took care of our house as well! The dogs were excited to see us, but I think they were sad to see Luie go! We will definitely reach out to Luie in the future when we need exceptional care of our pets!”
“Mary was amazing with our high energy pup. She went above and beyond and communicated with us frequently. I’ve never felt more comfortable with a sitter (very anxious mama here). We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: A lifelong dog enthusiast, I’ve cared for family, friends’, and neighbors’ dogs over the years. Happy to play and walk as much as needed. Offer flexible scheduling and open to repeat appointments. Born and raised in Lewes, I recently moved back to my parents’ while I look for a new job. Dog sitting and walking is an enjoyable side hustle, as I love dogs and have an open schedule. Setting expectations and outlining care practices in advance are key for dog sitting and walking. I like to speak with pet owners over the phone or in person when first taking on a job (and am happy to meet a dog in advance to ensure we are a personality fit). Every pet and pet owner has different needs and accommodations, so I approach each appointment with an open mind and willingness to help.
“Lisa you are amazing! You exceeded all of our expectations. We didn’t worry about our dogs once while we were gone. We loved getting daily reports and cute pics. Thanks for being flexible when our flight changed and for taking great care of our home and plants as well:) You feel like a part of our family!”
About: Taking care of animals has always come very naturally to me! As a child I liked to run around the farm I lived on searching for kittens and petting horses. As someone who has loved and nurtured many of my own pets over the years, I naturally gravitated towards taking care of others beloved fur children. I have knowledge of different diets and have had both cats and dogs on raw diets as well as standard diets. I also have experience with senior animals, and their special needs. I started out helping friends or parents of friends when they would travel and have now found myself offering services to others and growing my business. I absolutely love pet sitting and helping families feel comfortable as they travel or are at work for the day. When I am at your home I make sure to not only nurture and love on your pets but to take care of your space. I offer daily updates if preferred and collect mail, keep things tidy, etc. I am able to give some medicine if required and enjoy the company of all ages of animals. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs but am open to taking care of smaller critters too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! I offer pet sitting at your home Monday-Sunday with a flexible schedule. I am available for drop ins and overnight stays. My main focus is pet sitting. When staying with your pet or even just dropping in, I can feed, play, crate, or give some meds to your pet if necessary. I am able to take walks or run around for a bit in the back yard. My goal is to always make the pet and the owner feel as comfortable as possible while maintaining a normal routine where necessary. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions so I can accommodate your animals as best as possible. I also request that any cameras in the home be notified to myself before I stay and I like to be clear that my partner may sometimes stay with me for overnights.
About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.

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 had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats.
