Dog Boarding in Glen Mills

Olivia and Otis Pet Sitting is Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.

My name is Olivia Reynolds and I look forward to meeting your dog! I have been around animals all my life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits, birds, and horses. I have over 15 years experience taking care of other people's pets and will care for your pet as well as I care for my own.

Otis (my dog and business partner) is a member of my family. Otis recently got a sister, Carmen, who is fitting in perfectly in our home. When your dog stays with me, they will be a part of our family. I believe that while you are on vacation, your dog deserves a vacation of their own. I will spoil your dog with extra attention, play time, and treats (as permitted) while they stay with me and will do everything I can to prevent them from being stressed or anxious while you are away.

I have a clean home, a small fenced-in backyard, and no children. Caring for your pets is my full time job. Besides boarding at my home, I also offer drop-in visits, walks, and day care. I have experience with many different breeds and have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperament, and personality. I also offer my services to your cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, or anything else with fur, feathers, or scales.

I work from home full-time, so I'm available all day to sit with your pet. Our dogs are friendly and enjoy playing in a large, fenced backyard. My husband and I have experience being foster parents for All4Paws rescue so we are used to caring for dogs of different temperaments. We are located on the Upper Mainline in Malvern.

It may sound simplistic,...but our family just loves dogs. When my husband and I were shopping for our house, we were more concerned about the size of the backyard than anything else - concerned our own dogs would have plenty of room to roam. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for 6 years,...and look forward to caring for your four-legged children too.

We do require that your pets be friendly with other dogs, kids and babies.

Why I love dog sitting

How long have I been a dog lover? Forever! I volunteered at the SPCA during college and rescued two dogs of my own the moment I finished school. My husband and I joke that he needed to ask their permission to marry me. My husband volunteered for All4Paws rescue for many years and we fostered a number of dogs for them. My husband and I haven't had a day without dogs since we married 16 years ago. We are a dog family. Those of you who are dog-people, probably understand, from the depths of your soul, exactly what that means. We just love dogs.

About my yard

Our yard is 0.4 acres and the back is completely fenced in with a 6' high privacy fence. There's a small shed and a couple of bushes, I attached photos.

My experience administering medication

We have experience with both oral and injected meds as well as eye drops. Also, any special dietary needs can be catered to as well.

My best friend Kia, recently passed away so I will make sure your dog is cared for and has a great time when they are with me. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. I am also close to parks for playtime. I will play with them for as long as they can stand it. I will make sure they are tired before I am! I am available for those late night walks when it is super cold out or your exhausted after a long day at work and you don't want to make the trip out. I will protect them as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe with me. You can count on me to make sure your beloved animal is cared for.

I'm a mother of two dog-loving teens ( the third is neutral) and one incredibly sweet and welcoming dog named Joe. I have a very flexible schedule all year, including holidays. I have a fair amount of experience with visually impaired, visually impaired/hearing impaired, epileptic, and diabetic dogs. Sign up with me and your best friend will go on outings, have plenty of play-time in our medium-sized and secure fenced-in yard (no diggers, bush breakers, and escape artists please), relax in the playhouse, and enjoy every inch of our 3-story home. My teen boys, husband, and the resident dog, Joe are all dog lovers and will add even more merriment to your doggie's day. I will carry over all your rules or lack thereof depending on your wishes.

About my yard

I have a small fenced in back yard which is good, but I work from home and love top take them out for walks and to the dog park which is close by.

My experience administering medication

I worked as Manager and previously as a Vet Assistant at Downingtown Animal Hospital for 10 years and I love all animals! I would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away.

This year I decided to make caring for your pets my full time job. I don't even like calling it a "job" for caring for them never seems like work. They are a blessing!

I have 6 cats and two amazing rescue pups! Bear Bear (has crossed the rainbow bridge) was a foster failure from 6 years ago--I just couldn't let him go--and Lenny and Ellie came to me 3 years ago. (Both are with Bear Bear now) They were litter mates that I had been pet sitting for two years. The owner had to re-home them and I could not take the chance of them being separated (they are eleven) so I offered to love them till the end!

I am married and have two children ages 18 and 16 who also have a love of animals, so your pets won't want for attention!

Some of my most favorite house guests are the elderly and "special needs" I had a favorite basset named Lucy that is blind who visits us often. (She has since traveled the rainbow bridge).

I am able to administer medications, change doggie diapers, give injections, and give fluids under the skin if needed.

My back yard is fenced in and all my animals are used to me having "furry" sleepover guests.

I also have references available upon request!

Thank you for your consideration!

Caring for dogs has always been a huge passion of mine. There’s nothing like the love and happiness pups bring into our lives, and I feel that it’s my duty to give back to them however possible! From working for and even owning a pet rescue to dog sitting and beyond, I’ve tried to do whatever I can to bring happiness to dogs. I love bringing a smile to a dog’s face by making sure they have everything they need to thrive, and it’s just great to give owners peace of mind as well.

One of the best things about me as a sitter is that I am available full-time! That means that your pup and I will spend tons of time together when they’re under my care. No one likes to crate their dog up for hours on end while they’re away, so your pooch will enjoy tons of freedom! It also makes me a great option for dogs that are used to having a human presence around them, or for ones that would enjoy that!

When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.

I pride myself on a sense of professionalism when your pup is under my wing, and believe that all begins with excellent communication. I like to get as much info as I can about you and your pooch even before the stay begins! That way, I can get a good picture of your care expectations and what makes your pup happy. During the stay, I’ll send detailed daily updates, with notes on anything you need to be kept in the loop on, from meal prep to exercise times. And of course, those will always include accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun we’re having together!

Thank you for your interest! We are glad you took the time to check us out to care for your furry friend!

Here is a little bit of information about us:

- There is always someone home! Both of us work from home so besides the occasional family dinner out or trip to the store, we are home.

- We have loads of experience with all kinds of dogs! For the last 7+ years, we have been a foster home for a local rescue. We have cared for many different kinds and sizes of dogs. We have cared for dogs with all kinds of issues and have never had any problems!

- We have a large, fully fenced in, wooded, park like yard for your pup to explore! But don’t worry, we never leave a dog unattended in the yard. We spend a lot of time out there, so your pet will as well.

- We don’t crate. Unless a pet parent requests us to, we pretty much let your pup roam free or keep them in one or 2 rooms. Typically, they would be where we are. The only exception to this is aggression, which almost never happens but we do have the plan in place just in case.

- We will keep you updated with pics and texts! We know the occasional check in is important!

- Most importantly, we will care for your pup as if they were our own. We know the feeling of being on a trip and thinking or worrying about your dog. He/she will be on their own vacation here, having a blast in the yard or curling up to watch some TV. Either way, he/she will be taken care of as well as you do.

If you would like, we can set up a meet and greet. These are not necessary but some pet parents prefer to do it. We are available most evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. Or if you feel comfortable with us watching your pup, you can book with us right away.

If you decide to book with us, all we ask for is your pups food, an idea on their feeding and sleeping schedules and a phone number to reach you with pics and updates! You are more than welcome to bring some treats, toys and/or bed.

Also just so you know…… We do watch more than one dog at a time. If you have a pup that is not friendly or you don’t want them to be with the other dogs, we can accommodate that as well. Typically we keep the dogs in their own areas and let them play with one another one or two at a time and a person is with them. We won’t ever socialize your pup with someone else’s unless we were with them. In the off event that we do need to leave the house as a group and it would be just the dogs at home, we would close doors and keep them in a room alone, with a box fan, TV, water and a bed. If this were to happen, it would be not more than one or two hours for a school event or dinner kind of thing.

Also, we have kids. Our kids have a lot of experience with the dogs as well. Kevin, who is 17 and is very gentle, kind and ADORES all dogs. In fact, Kevin works at a local vet and takes care of the boarded and daycare pups there. He also assists the vets with the pups too.m. Alyssa, who is 12, tends to want any pup to snuggle up with her on the bean bag chair in her room. If you have a pup who is not good with kids, that’s OK! We have had many rescue dogs who were just the same. These pups don't get the run of the house but they do get a whole room!

If you have any special instructions for the care, any specific questions or need to know anything further, reach out here via rover and I will answer right away! I typically try to respond with in the first 15 minutes after I receive your request.

Thank you again for your interest! We hope you decide to book with us!

Since we were young children my wife and I have always had a love for animals of all kinds. As a teenager I was the go to guy in my neighborhood for pet sitting and my wife did and still does volunteer her time at local animal rescues. We understand how difficult it can be leaving your beloved pet in the care of a stranger which is why we strive to treat each and every dog as it was our own with loving care and playful attention!

Available in our own home or yours, we are available 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Dogs with special needs or medical requirements are welcomed.

*Rover gift cards and online deal vouchers always welcomed!

Why I love dog sitting

My wife and I have been dog lovers all of our lives. From my first dog Coco to Tiffany's German Shepherd she got on her 6th birthday we knew from an early age that we had a special connection with our furry friends!

Meet my pets

Our home is located in a family orientated neighborhood in Downingtown, PA. We have plenty of room in our yard for your pet to run and play in addition to plenty of quiet neighborhood streets to walk along. We currently have one dog, Barkley and two cats, Milo (he has thumbs!) and Tootie, both of which get along great with dogs!

About my yard

We have a grass covered fenced in back yard of approximately 1/2 of an acre.

My name is Sheri and I want to welcome you to my pet friendly, Drexel Hill home. I say pet friendly because all dogs up to 25 lbs. are welcome in any part of my home. I have made sure to keep a tidy, clutter free space so there is nothing your fur baby can get into. Here your dog will receive one on one, tender loving and experienced care. I know how hard it can be to leave pets behind so I treat your pets how I would want my pet to be treated.

I have a good size fenced in yard for your dog to enjoy the outdoors...supervised of course.... I am home 99.9% of the time.

Many photos of just some of the beautiful dogs that I have cared for as well as my home and yard.

I can cater to your dog's needs.. In return they will feel happy, safe and secure. I am not happy unless your dog is happy.

I have 1 dog of my own..He is the friendliest, 10 year old shih-tzu that I rescued..he loves all dogs and people...he is very laid back with an occasional short burst of playfulness.

Your pet is permitted to sit on the furniture and sleep where they want.

space fills up quickly(especially on holidays) so please keep that in mind when arranging your pet's stay.

I will follow any special instructions given to me. While your pet is here I will send you emails/texts and photos to keep you updated on their activities. I enjoy your pet's stay as much as they do.

I will only take dogs that get along well with other dogs..as far as dogs over 50lbs I can only take low energy pups and a meet and greet will be required!!!!! they must get along with small dogs.i have been with Rover for years...feel free to read my 135+ five star reviews..**please text me anytime with any questions you may have**
