House Sitting in Smyrna

“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.”

About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals! As a teen i started pet sitting and knew I wanted to always work with animals so as an adult I went to school for dog grooming. I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention. I am pretty flexible, i'm avaialble during weekdays as well as every other sunday. I will keep my times available updated on the calender here at rover. I am able to feed your animals, take them out to potty, short walks as well as spend time giving them attention and play with them.

“WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Kathleen did a FABULOUS job taking care of my fur babies. She sent updates multiple times per day along with pictures of each one of the pets. 3 needed medication and one was recovering from surgery and needed special care. Care that I trusted only to a trained professional....and that she is! I was able to truly enjoy my time away; knowing that EVERYONE (and my home) were loved and cared for while we were away. I cannot say enough about Kathleen....she made it possible for me to RELAX! Thank you!!!!!”

“Trisha was AMAZING! She stayed for a week with my 14 y/o dog and two cats. She sent me updates with photos throughout the day, was able to give my dog his medicine and was so attentive with playing with them. I highly recommend and would absolutely book her again.”

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

“Emily was on time, very comfortable with my puppy from the start, and he seemed to like her a lot. Will definitely use Emily again.”

“We love that we can absolutely depend on Rachel. Our pups love her and don’t miss us at all and they have separation anxiety! Rachel was kind enough to go the extra mile to help manage the pups for our wedding and watch them while we went away for our honeymoon. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures so we didn’t have to wonder how they were doing. So so grateful and will continue to book her. She treats our pups as her own!”

“Daniel did an excellent job with my dog and guinea pigs who were happy and at ease upon my return.”

“Kailyn did a great job watching my Bella. She was professional and contacted me with any changes or questions.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles and more! My entire life has revolved around animals, from owning 2 horses and 3 cats currently and previously dogs as well. Ive got a pretty flexible schedule with having my own business currently just mostly unavailable on weekends. I am always available midday during the week I always devote my full attention to the care of the animals, giving them all the personalized care and love that they could want :)

About: I have cared for dogs for over thirty years. I have experience with many different breeds of many different sizes and temperament. I have been dog parents to the following breeds: Fox Hound, Pug, Great Dane, Mastiff, English Bulldog, American Bully. I have also volunteered at local shelter. I am currently a High School teacher at a district in Chester County. My summer availability is quite flexible. Availability during the school year would be more limited. Can be adaptable to any routine that works best in the client's home. I can provide service to whatever setting - fenced in yard, not fenced in, urban, suburban, rural setting.

About: I have been around animals all of my life, from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I love walking and hiking, and would be happy to have your pet come along, if that is ok with you. I am a teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible over the summer. I can board your pet during the school year if needed, especially on the weekends. I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.

About: I am currently in school to become a certified veterinary assistant at my current high school and will continue on my education after graduation to become a vet technician I am around other than 8 hours during the weekdays while I am attending school. And 3 days out of the week I work for a few hours after school. But other than that I will be there to insure your pet it well taken care of! I can follow any instructions left by owner to insure their pet is safe and happy while they are away. I encourage owners to leave instructions and details on how they prefer their pets to be cared for!

About: I’ve had experience with a yellow lab growing up and raising my Shiba Inu, Maverick. Many may say that I attract dogs and I will do anything to make sure they are living their best, healthy, fun life! As a teacher, I have the summer off so I am able to watch dogs, check in, and go on walks. I have the friendliest Shiba Inu, Maverick who is always looking for a new friend! I have a doggy-door and fenced in yard for your pet to play in if boarded! In your home, I will be sure to comfort your dog with their preferences.

About: offer a safe, caring, and fun environment where your dog will be treated like family. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or walks, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels right at home! I'm available most weekdays and weekends for dog boarding. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most days. Just reach out—I'd love to care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where your pup can relax and feel at home. I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and close attention to their needs. You can trust they'll be in safe, caring hands!

“Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.”
