House Sitting in Fontaine

“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”

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.

“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”

“Meghan stayed three nights in our home with our Belgian malinois and everything went super smoothly! This was our first in-home boarding experience with our dog, and we were so happy to return to a calm, happy dog who would normally be very anxious after out of home boarding. She sent lots of updates/pictures and always responded in a timely manner.”

About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.

“Brianne was very professional to work with! She spent the most time with my Miska. Walking her, sending pics to me. Keeping me informed while I was away. Thank You Brianne”

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!

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. In high school, I took an animal studies courses where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals daily. I have worked mostly with cats and dogs, along with some birds and reptiles, which helped me become comfortable with animals of different personalities and needs. I truly love meeting new animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive, and I enjoy giving pets plenty of love, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a college student, so I have the most availability during summers, winters, and school breaks, allowing me to dedicate extra time and attention to the pets I care for. I have always loved animals and am currently a college student with free summers, which gives me a flexible and open schedule to care for pets. I am available for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can easily adjust my routine to provide consistent care and attention. I have always been especially attentive to pets of all kinds, providing them with caring, patient, and loving attention. I prioritize safety and comfort by closely following each pet’s routine and instructions from owners. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and feel secure in a calm environment. I always aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable and responsible care.

“Chelsea is amazing! She took such great care of our Lucy and put our minds at ease. Last time we left our girl she had bad separation anxiety and this time with Chelsea when we got home she didn’t even act like she missed us. Chelsea was great sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. Lucy loved her! We are so thankful we found Chelsea and highly recommend her!!”
