Pet Sitting Rydal

About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.

“Fantastic communication and excellent with the animals. Highly recommend!!!”

“I can't say enough about how great Jamie was with our 3 cats! I'm a bit of a picky pet parent and Jamie did a wonderful job of checking off every need of our furry friends. I highly recommend her!”

“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!

“Bailey did a great job with my cats! I highly recommend Bailey and River.com”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my entire life at home and for family/friends. During college, I worked as a pet expert at Pet Supermarket and have a wide variety of knowledge about pets. I currently work in Woodstock, and have a schedule that allows me to accommodate various needs and preferences, making me available for check-ins during both morning and evening hours. I currently live with my furry friend, Theo, who loves to lay in the sunshine out on the porch. I ensure daily playtime with a variety of active toys for exercise and a healthy vet-recommended diet.

“Regan is amazing! Our meet and greet went great but during the visit my dog was nervous, barking and keeping his distance. Regan took the time to make him feel comfortable and now he loves when Regan visits! I appreciate Regan so much. I'll definitely be booking again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl, since growing up I’ve had quite a few animals but now I have my own at home. I have had my dog since he was 6 months old. I will love and have fun with your dogs. I currently don’t have a job right now but I’m willing to to work Monday through Friday any hours would be amazing. I can work from 11am to 3 pm. I take really good care of my animals at home. I have had the same dog for about 5 years now since he was 6 months old. I have trained him on a few things now. And when I’m at a clients house I will take care of them and give them love and attention and feed them whatever the client needs me to do.

About: I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to animals. From fish to farm animals. I have two cats and two dogs and chickens and goats and pigs and ducks. Along with house birds. I am currently not working. I am a stay-at-home mom. So my schedule is pretty open. Especially to boarding I have the space for it. TimeWise I do work around my toddler schedule for dog walking and Cat sitting. I have a fenced in backyard. A very large house. I also have four kids that love animals. So an animal that loves kids would be preferred. But not completely out of the question if there is a child issue I can just keep my kids away from the animal. Pretty easy to fix.

“She is very personable. Was on time and took good care of my Yoki. Sent me pictures of her every time she took care of her. In the future, I would definitely book her.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each pet as if they were my own. I’m especially patient with young pets who are still learning, and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training like potty routines, leash manners, and gentle socialization. I also have a soft spot for senior pets and understand how important it is to move at their pace, keep them comfortable, and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine\. As a mom to older, high school\-aged kids, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care\. I truly enjoy filling my days with something meaningful, and caring for animals brings me so much joy\. Whether it’s checking in on them throughout the day, keeping their routines consistent, or simply spending quiet time helping them feel safe and comfortable, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for as part of my weekly rhythm\. I approach every pet with a calm, gentle energy and a strong sense of responsibility. In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine—feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and do my best to maintain everything just as they left it, while giving their pet plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. In my own home, I create a quiet, cozy setting where pets can relax and feel at ease. As a mom to older, high school-aged kids, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for what you love most. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.

About: I tailor my approach to each furbabys individual needs. I ensure they are both comfortable and happy while you are away to make both the parent and furbabys separation less stressful. I have cared for many breeds of different ages and currently have 3 of our own. I am experienced in giving oral medications, light grooming such as brushing/bathing and managing anxious pups. I currently work full-time Tuesday-Friday. I am available for overnight stays and drop-ins depending on day/time-just reach out for availability. Feel free to shoot me a message and inquire. I follow all pet parents rules, feeding times, bed times. I encourage you to provide full instructions in advance to review together in order to provide the best possible care.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.

About: I have vast experience with taking care of animals of all ages and sizes. I have a reactive dog so I’m experienced with redirecting if needed. I work night shift Friday-Monday so I am available Monday evening/night through Thursday night. I am unavailable over the weekend unless it’s an 8-9am visit that’s needed on Saturday and/or Sunday. I have always loved animals and will care for them like they are my own family. I know how stressful it is to have somebody else in your home to care for your animal so I will be respectful and communicate.
