Home 24/7 This is my only job.

Pet care experience

UPDATE: I cannot take Pitbulls or any Pitbull mix it is not my choice, I apologize. Please fill out Veterinary Information I will not set up any meet & greets without it. Unless it is a last minute booking I must meet your dog(s) first, I would hope you would also want to meet the person caring for your baby too. I charge $25 for a meet and greet, which will be credited only if you book, this is an extremely busy time, I spend hours speaking & meeting with potential clients that cancel because a free relative or kid next door is available. This is what I do. My fees are listed, this is my job, I take it seriously, and take only one client at a time, this is why my rules are strict. About me: I grew up with horses & dogs my entire life, This past year I lost both my dogs to cancer, Jasmine a Sheppard Vizsla Mix & Jonas a pure bred Vizsla. For 13 years they went on every family vacation with us, because I could not bear to leave them, Jasmine was a rescue and Jonas being a Vizsla they cannot be boarded they literally would die of stress. I understand the anguish of leaving pets they are family it is important to know they will be treated as my family & not in a kennel with “stupid themed room” with paid for TV. I love animals and will pamper & keep them safe because I enjoy doing this. I am home 24/7 & send you as many photos, texts and video’s you need. I tell all my clients please do not feel the need to respond I know you’re reading my texts, otherwise you would not have booked with me. I want you to be able to enjoy your vacation or time away from them worry free. I am not like other sitters, you will not find anyone like me, this isn’t a second job I treat your dogs like a 2 year old toddler that has just learned to walk, I baby proof everything, I am tired when you come to pick your dogs up. I never stop chatting to them as I make breakfast, lunch and dinners, I even shower with the bathroom door open closing my bedroom door so they cannot go far. I actually never had a dog that did not lay on the floor outside the glass door lol, when I say I never leave them I mean it! My profile states that I only take one family at a time this is true, but of course everyone vacations at the same time and Saturdays will overlap, you be be assured that I would never allow other dogs in contact with your dog(s) When there is an overlap (weather providing) my 21 year old son will be outside playing in the yard with the other dog or, they other family will be on a totally different floor away from your pet. To all owners I insist on meet and greets which are $25 and credited back only if you book, unless it is an emergency and you need a sitter asap. Thank you for your consideration, Nancy This is my only job. I take it very seriously and do NOT LEAVE your baby I am here playing and cuddling with them and incorporate them into my household chores. I am their Mom until you pick them up. Please check my rates before you book, they are higher than most because I only take only family at a time. You will pay the same at a boarding facility which is traumatizing and can be dangerous, you never know about other dogs. I sit in my home or yours, I have excellent references, background checks and even do chores for free. Minimum 2 hours potty breaks, minimum 2 walks (weather permitting). Inside play, they are my only priority. I take only one family at a time, dogs will overlap on Weekends Occasionally and you will be notified if this happens but I never introduce other dogs to yours even for that short period without your knowledge. It is easy to keep the dogs separated in this short time I have a 5’ fully fenced back yard and 2 family rooms. I have EXCELLENT REFERENCES that are not on Rover that I would hope you ask for in addition to reading those on Rover. These people are clients that are well respected in the community, they can be found on Facebook to further verify that they are who I say they are. In addition to having the basic background check from Rover, I have all the extensive background checks from our School District as I am a volunteer Teacher & Chaperone. I am also a certified 2nd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do which requires finger printing. Please check my rates before you book & make sure your Veterinary info is filled out. The more through your profile is the easier & quicker you will find a sitter.

AMAZING!!! Nancy was so great, I'll definitely book again! She took the time to send photos, video and updates on how my Gus was doing. He had such a fun time! Nancy really took the time to make Gus feel comfortable, she played with him and took him for a walk to pee. Nancy truly is an amazing dog lover and sitter! 5 stars for sure!

Nancy was a terrific host for our Swissy. She was very detailed and caring. Terrific communicator. We hope she will have Rocky back to her home again some day.

If you are looking for someone who will care for you fur babies like they are her own, Nancy is that person. We’ve used her multiple times and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. We find comfort in everything Nancy does, from having created a dog friendly environment, being a loving and truly knowledgeable caregiver that is there day and night, ensuring they have lots of playtime and exercise, giving them endless cuddles, sending frequent pictures and videos, and being super responsive. Our boys love her and love staying with her. The second one time we dropped them off, our boys knew where they were and could hardly wait for Nancy to open her front door. They entered excited and settled in just as if the my were at home. When we pick them up they are always in fabulous spirits with no signs of having been stressed in any way. We are moving 1 hour+ away, but will continue to use Nancy. She’s the absolute best!

Nancy is the best! She was so attentive to our very spoiled little guy..and he loved every minute of it! I haven’t enjoyed a vacation so much or had such peace of mind! The updates and pictures were so reassuring and so appreciated, and our boy came home so relaxed and happy..something that has never happened before! I couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Nancy!

5’ high fence on 3 sides and 6’ high on neighbors side, no gates no way out and I am always with them while inside or outside. My front door is the only way out of my home it is ALWAYS dead bolted and NEVER opened until dogs are secured. My neighborhood is quiet, we have sidewalks, the neighborhood is a dead end so you do not have to worry when you park everyone who is outside lives here.

Information Nancy W. would like to know about your pet

I will no longer take any type of Pitbull or Pitbull Mix. Other dogs with aggression I must meet, my fee will increase. I won’t take any dogs until we meet first, this is best for everyone. I enjoy training puppies. I have a blind dog who is a regular, dogs with Addison’s Disease, Seizures, Cancer, and anxiety. I am very good at what I do, you will have no worries when you leave your babies with me. ••• In case of an emergency & your Veterinary is too far, or it is after hours, I use Royersford Veterinary and The closest Emergency Vet is Metropolitan Veterinary. Feel free to look them up. Please note that MetroVet there is a minimum of $250 to walk in the door (prices may have changed) YOUR HOMEWORK: •Vet information filled out •2 emergency contacts preferably people who live by you and not out of state •Any items, dog blanket, toys, bones, “comfort things” crate if they or you prefer, and of course dog food. Please bring extra food, treats and (medications if applicable), airline delays and emergencies happen, better to be extra prepared so less stress. YOUR HOMEWORK: Bring a blanket your baby uses, bed if you prefer, chew toys, bones, and extra food and medication if applicable in case you are delayed (flights, emergencies)

A typical day

I’m not like other sitters who say they can provide walks or playtime, your dogs have 100% of my attention. They definitely get 2 walks a day unless it is stormy or dangerous outside. I live in a quiet neighborhood, there is a huge field behind me and a beautifully maintained grassy area as you enter that is quiet, I enjoy walking there. The Limerick Elementary School is nearby also. The walking distance depends on how young or old your dog is, I would never want to over do it for old bones and growing puppy bones. Your dogs are my only priority, if they’re not happy I’m not happy and I will do everything possible to make sure they are because it would break my heart if they were sad, I am a true empath. I play tug with toys, throwing and catch. I am an extremely chatty person I barely hush up, you’re dogs will think they’re right at home haha. I love teaching them and making them earn their treats as dogs love to please. I never raise my voice, I use praise only, EVER! Your babies will get body massages & groomed (only if they like) but that is only if it is not stressful for them. I give them constant care, I stay home. I used to have Vizsla’s, they’re are very energetic dogs and very Velcro, I know how upset they get if left alone and I feel your anxiety leaving your dogs but can promise you they are in the best hands possible. Your dogs will feel like they’ve known me forever in a very short time. I will text you photos & videos constantly to put your mind at ease, whether you want to reply is up to you. Thank you for trusting me with your babies. ❤️ June 2021 I will have a fully enclosed 6’ high privacy fence
