House Sitting in Saint Peters

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.

“Tara was fantastic with my pets. She has amazing communication and was very helpful. It is clear how much she loves animals. Looking forward to our next booking!”

About: I have had pets for longer then I can remember, ranging from chocolate labs and huskies to nearly a dozen cats. I have experience with disabled, elderly, obese, and energetic animals of a variety of breeds. I can medicate and monitor your pets if need be with instructions provided. I will also play with and send update pictures of your furry friends so you can be sure of their care. I'm a full time student so I can check in anytime after 11am on most days. I do have class on Tuesday and Thursday so I can only check in after 2pm those days but I can check in later to balance it out. I will come over, hang out and play with your animals, check their essentials and ensure they are of good health, medicate or walk as necessary, then leave when I am certain of their care.

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.

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.

“Abbi was great! She really went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well taken care of during our weekend away. 100% recommend and would book Abbi again.”

“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”

About: Since growing up with many different breeds of dogs, I have a lot of experience. I have pet sit and taken care of my neighbors dogs as well as other peoples dogs. I worked at a dog daycare in limerick called Dogtopia, so I have a lot of dog experience from that as well. I work a 9-5 on the weekdays and am mainly open on the weekends to help with anyone in need for dog walking or sitting! I take pet care very seriously. I love taking dogs for walks and giving them company in their homes as well. Any specific instructions you have, I will follow and make sure your dog is under good hands!

“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.”

Brittany P.

“Abigail was a great sitter for our dogs. We could tell from the meet and greet that she genuinely cared for them. She took great care of them while we were gone, even as one of our dogs was dealing with an upset stomach. Abigail kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout her time with them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a sitter.”

Ryan P.

“Brianna was very thorough during our meet and greet, wonderful with my pups, and sent lots of updates! Clearly is very knowledgeable about dogs and has a lot of love and patience for our four legged friends. Glad to have another great sitter to have on hand.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for other families, and my own, since I was 14 years old! I have experience with young and old dogs of all sizes. I am a college student, and fairly active in the community, so always happy to make connections. I am down for whatever you and your dog need! I’m a student at the University of Delaware, so I have limited availability during the work day, but have at least one day of the weekends free and am available before or after classes! I care about making sure you’re at ease when you leave your pet in my care! It can be hard to leave behind a dog even for a short amount of time, and I want to assure that your experience, and your dog’s, are great! I have treats if necessary, am comfortable and experienced with dogs, and will use the commands that you prefer!

“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
