Pet Sitting in Peacham

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.

About: I've been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, and rabbits) my entire life. One of my career highlights was working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Granted, I was working as a puppeteer, but I love being around animals every day. I currently have two beloved cats of my own, and I'm excited to meet your pets! I'm also a freelance puppeteer and writer - so when I'm between projects I have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to take care of your pets! I pride myself on being good with animals, love winning them over, and am a very empathic person. While I love a friendly creature, I'm also good at giving animals space if they're shy around new people, etc.

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”

Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too!

Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a young girl. They’ve always been a part of my family, so I’m comfortable with everything from dog walking to pet sitting, feeding, and even bathing. Whether it's playing with puppies or giving extra attention to senior dogs, I want to make sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. My schedule is pretty flexible! During the week, I’m available after 5 pm, mostly for dog walks. On weekends, I’m free all day and can help with dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, or whatever your pet needs. I don’t have any dogs at home right now, but your dog will be treated like part of the family! I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can relax, play, and enjoy their time. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have grown up with dogs in my life since day one. I have learned how to take care of puppies with high energy to old dogs that need help going out to the bathroom. I have been dog watching for over 8 years and I am used to working with Rover. I’m also available for weekly/reoccurring meetings! I work retail part time and on break from school at Northeastern. I am available most days and have a few shifts a week. I’m free for morning and night walks and for dog sitting too! I will cater to the dogs needs and adjust how I act depending on visual signs. I’m ready to run and puppy around to get out energy. I’m prepared for a dog who is scared and will take time to get use to me.

“Shelby worked with us on short notice and went above and behind taking great care of our little guy. We would definitely use her again!”

About: Since as early as I can remember I have grown up with dogs, and other animals. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, and some exotic animals as well (small and large animals). I am always ready for a challenge and love spending time with any dog! I have experience in a variety of dog training areas including hunting dogs and service dogs. I am also a pre-veterinary student with basic animal care knowledge! I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from retrievers and pointers to terriers and toy-breeds. I love working with dogs of all ages and am capable of caring for newborn puppies and your older furry friends! I also have over nine years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience. Caring for pets is one of my passions so it is easy to make it a part of my daily routine, even while I'm working! Please note, I do work full-time and as such my week-day schedule is typically limited but I am happy to discuss specific options. When caring for your pets they become like my own. I supervise outside time, even if there is a fence and always keep them close!

“Bella and Cameron are such diligent and responsible cat sitters! They sent very cute updates and photos while we were out of town, about all the activities they were doing with our cat. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: I’m a lifelong cat owner and appreciator, and have brought dogs into my life in the last 5 years (but adored friends dogs all the while)—I’ve owned two husky’s and got a crash course in dog attitudes and needs with their specific personalities. Flexible schedule—I work remotely and can generally adjust as needed to your pets care needs. Let’s work something out! With notice most schedules are possible. I follow needs and instructions to a T and offer kind and compassionate and confident care. I want pet and owner to feel happy and safe.

“I had friends over for President’s day weekend who brought their puppy (Archie) to play with my puppy (Gerard). We had made plans to ski the whole weekend but didn’t plan well enough on who will take care of our babies.  So we signed into Rover and checked our options.  After reading Giuliana’s profile we decided that she was the best choice for us.  We messaged her a bit later at night, but she responded immediately and agreed to come very early the next day.  She came a few minutes before our set time and was completely flexible when we tried to extend a bit of her stay because of traffic.  We came home to two very happy puppies who had been walked a couple of times, fed and played with the whole day.  I highly recommend Giuliana and will be using her again.”

“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.

“Emily took great care of my two cats while we were away. It's clear she really loves animals and they were very glad to see her each day. She sent pictures and gave me daily updates as well.”

“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”
