Dog Sitting in Stratford

“Vivian took wonderful care of Luna and on short notice, which we really appreciated. She communicated with us and tried all of our suggestions when Luna would not cooperate. Vivian noticed Luna’s nervousness with an upcoming storm and asked how to make Luna feel more comfortable. Her concern about Luna’s feelings was the cherry on top. I would definitely reach out to Vivian in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, including over 8 years as a professional pet sitter and dog walker with Achilles Total Pet Care, LLC. I’ve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality, including rescues, seniors and pups with special needs. My passion for animals started in 2004 when we adopted our first dog, Amber, who had never even been on a leash. We trained her from the ground up and she changed my life. From 2007 to 2009, I volunteered at the Voorhees Animal Orphanage doing community outreach, dog walking and was part of the "Pit Partners" program focusing on pit bull type breeds, many of whom needed extra exercise, patience, structure, and love. Since then, I’ve continued to dedicate my time and heart to helping dogs thrive. I also have over 15 years personal experience caring for our special needs dog, Max, who has severe environmental and food allergies, anxiety, and needs daily medication and ongoing management. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet—and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known for providing loving, dependable, and individualized care, whether it’s a long walk, playtime, medication, or just keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away from home. My clients become like family—because their pets already are. ❤️ Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family member! I’m available part-time for dog walks and drop-in pet visits while my kids are at school, activities, or camp. I occasionally offer pet sitting services when my schedule allows. I’m reliable, loving, and treat every pet like family! When I care for pets, whether it’s during a walk, a drop-in visit, or an occasional overnight stay at your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine, staying aware of any triggers and keeping them safe from any hazards. I maintain open communication with you, providing updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands. At your home, I respect your space, follow your rules, and ensure your pet feels at ease.

“Shannon took great care of my fur babies while I was out of country for 2 weeks. Being 9000+ miles away, it was such a relief knowing that my babies are cared for and that they are happy. Shannon sent updates and photos for each visit. I am grateful to have found her and I know my fur babies love her as well.”

About: I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life including dachshunds, a Labrador/German Shepard mix, a goldendoodle, and a rescue mixed breed (in the picture above!). I consider my dogs my family and was raised to love and care for all animals! I’m currently taking time away from full-time work, which means your pet will have my full attention! I have a flexible schedule and lots of time for walks, snuggles, and consistent care, perfect for pets who thrive on routine and company. When caring for pets in their own environment, I’m always respectful of your space and mindful of your pet’s routine. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Everything was smooth and very easy to communicate with. With certainly use again as my dogs were certainly well cared for! No issues at all! Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals and grew up volunteering at my local shelter. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, as well as taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have a 1 year old GSD mix that I usually walk every day at the local off-leash park. I have experience with clicker training and positive reinforcement training. I take my dog to the park in the mornings around 9am. I am otherwise available for walks or drop in visits for dogs and/or cats. I always try to make the dogs and cats I care for feel loved and engaged. I make sure to play with their favorite toys if specified and provide cuddle time after play sessions. I treat your animals as I would want my own to be looked after while I am away - with care and attention to detail.

“Gloria did a fantastic job with my 2 cats while I was away on a bicycling vacation. She sent pictures and kept me updated on her arrival and departure times. I will definitely use her services again”

About: I have experience with dogs from all walks of life—ranging from elderly dogs still enjoying their golden years to special needs dogs and rambunctious puppies eager to explore the world. I've participated in countless training sessions with my own dogs, from guiding puppies as they learn to providing leadership for reactive adult dogs in need of structure and support. Pet care is an all day, every day task for me! With a 4 month old puppy at home I am busy making sure he is getting the supervision, enrichment, and training he needs to grow into a perfect companion with the best life possible. I find it personally fulfiling to participate in any pup's growth and happiness. I care for pets with a focus on mutual respect, tailoring my approach to each animal’s unique needs and motivators. There’s no "one size fits all" when it comes to pet care—every pet has its own personality, and being attuned to that is key to providing successful, compassionate care.

“Krystal is phenomenal! If I could give 20 stars I would. I have booked this lovely woman twice. First time was for June 8-14th,2024. Second was for Aug 30th-Sep 2nd. Both times she was timely in her response to my request to book her. She followed ALL of my few instructions on how to care for my son Midnight. She is respectful and professional. She was on time for the drop ins. She understood that my boy may be shy at first and is skittish.She understood that he loves to play with lazer and loves treats. She was able to pet and give rubs to him. She made the process of trusting someone in your home, with your pet, comfortable and as easy as can be. Videos and pictures were sent of my boy and of course of Ms.Krystal & him having fun with eachother. I am so happy I found Krystal. Before her I would limit my traveling/vacationing because I was worried about leaving my buddy home. I feel confident that Midnight would be in great hands when I need to travel. Thanks again Krystal! Until next time😊”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13; I've always had an instinctual desire to love and care for animals! I had 3 dogs of my own once and during my time with them I realized how important it is to give your dog the exercise and attention they need so that they can live a happy and healthy life! Sometimes life can get too busy to give your dog what they need, I can help by giving them walks and visits when you're unable to! I work full-time mostly in the mornings! Some days I'm off and will be able to pop in for a visit or walk! I'm more probable to be available the whole week in the evenings and night times! Just message and ask for my availability! I can care for your pet by walking them around the neighborhood! I can feed your pet and also play with them with their favorite toys!

“Brittany was amazing with my two Westie’s. I spend a week and a half in another country and felt completely safe with her care. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi I’m Nicole! I love all animals, especially dogs. I’m very friendly and playful and can easily adhere to all dogs and their needs. Reliable, loving, and trustworthy is the experience your fur baby will receive while you’re away! I am very flexible as I am a student who is going to nursing school in the spring, which means I’m home majority of the time. I have a great development for walks around my neighborhood. I always take the animals I care for out every 3-4 hours and least 5 times a day to ensure exercise and relief when they need to take care of business.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. I grew up with large dogs; Akita, cane Corso, and pit bull mix. So feel very comfortable with large dogs. Professionally I worked in a pet store, so have experience caring for puppies, and keeping them engaged. I love dogs and recognize each one is a different with their own quirks and preferences. I currently work a hybrid job. I have plenty of breaks in my schedule on day I am home to take the dog or for walks and play time to keep them active. Free on weekends to give around the clock care as you would if home with your fur baby. I have an apartment where animals are allowed but a fee must be paid. Ideally I would like to pet sit at a client's home. I feel comfortable walking around in new neighborhoods to walk the dog. No problems with cleaning up the occasional mess that your fur baby may leave.

For the last three years, my wife and I have taken great care of our Labradoodle and love to help our neighbors and friends when their dogs needs a walk or potty break I work remote, so I have availability throughout the day on most days.
