About: I have experience with breeds extra small to extra large as we owned a jack Russell, chocolate lab, golden retriever, and mastiff/cane Corso mix at the same time. Currently, we have a 6 year old American bulldog named rosie who loves lounging and eating my daughter's toys. I'm a recently retired teacher with a ton of free time on my hands and a desire to have a more active lifestyle. I live in west Conshohocken and have no commitments outside of elementary school drop off/pick up. I would prefer to care for your pet in your home as I have a kindergarten aged child but will consider housing a pet for a short stay. We have a fencrd in grassy yard and 2 enclosed deck/concrete areas. I will provide background clearances from the state police, FBI, and Childline.

Sabrina was wonderful! We had to make a very last minute request to feed our kitties and Sabrina came to the rescue. Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!

Jennifer was a dream sitter. My cats were well looked after. She even messaged me to see if there were any interactive toys she could play with! My cats have a difficult medication schedule, and she followed my instructions like a pro! Very happy to recommend Jennifer!

Excellent! I hope I'm not underselling with a one-word review, but the word "excellent" needs no explanation. We're proud of our copper boy and so thankful to Julie M. for allowing us to have a worry-free day when we really needed one. Julie, thank you! Sincerely! Patrick

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.

Rebecca was wonderful with our pups, we recently moved to the area, and were not sure about using the service in a new neighborhood. When she stopped by to meet us and our pups you could tell she was a dog person, asking all the right questions and making our mini poodle and havanese feel like they've known her forever. We would 100% recommend her and use her again. She watched them for the weekend and stopped in 4 times a day. They were happy to stay in their own space! Rebecca was only a short distance from our area. I would recommend her to you also. She even had our pets do a PAW PRINT Merry Christmas card to us, so sweet!

About: I have taken care of an array of animals and have a trusted eye for any underlying issues that may arise. I have taken care of elder dogs and pups who are only a few hours old. I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be as a parent of an animal who needs a lot of attention, to have to trust another with the care and detail you would give. I am here for you! Your fur babies comfort and health is always at the top of my priority list! That is a guarantee! My fiancé and I just recently moved to Delaware from Florida to help out as a caregiver for a family member. He is the primary caregiver, we both are going to school but our availability is based around our work schedules. In which my schedule is wide open! Please let me know if and how I can help you! We unfortunately cannot have any additional pups or cats at our apartment because of the sensitivity of our caregiver ship. We have medical supplies in designated areas of course but sometimes the elderly lady we take care of will drop her pills and we just don’t want to put an animal at risk by boarding them with us at the moment.

I am flexible with dates and times! I treat pets with respect and thoughtfulness. They are apart of the family and deserve all the same love that we give others, if not more!

Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.
