Dog Sitting Thornton

About: I have taken care of all my friends and family pets multiple times. I have even stayed over to take care of their pets as well. I am a teacher. I am available after 3:00 pm and on the weekends. In the summer I have more availability to help take care of animals. I live in a house with no other animals. I will take the dog for walks to get plenty of exercise since I do not have a fence.

About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have any dogs around. I've learned how to take care of senior dogs while also being fortunate enough to have raised and trained a new puppy. I have experience with small dog breeds as well as large dog breeds. I currently work full-time, but I work from home! I am very active with my dog, constantly taking her on walks and to the park, always trying to get exercise when we can! There is a beautiful walking path next to where I live where I love taking my dog for a walk (on & off leash). I have a travel crate that goes with me on visits if needed as well.

“We had a great first experience using Rover with Max as our sitter. She was great with our kitty, Zeus and kept us up to date daily with messages and pictures during our 9 days away. We recently moved to a new house and were concerned with hiring a stranger but we felt comfortable from our first meeting with her. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Maya, a lifelong animal lover with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and two cats of my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, you can count on your pet being in great hands! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I can stop by throughout the day for visits, walks, and check-ins, or, if preferred, I’m happy to work from your home so your pets have extra company and care while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Ella was great with our cat Mason! She spent plenty of time with him while we were away, and made sure to get him up and playing. She made sure to update us on how each visit went and made us feel comfortable that Mason was in good hands. Will be booking again in the future!”

About: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.

About: When I was a kid my twin and I started a dog walking business in our neighborhood. We walked dogs of all sizes, house sat for cats, dogs, and other animals, and did drop by visits. I have cared for many animals and have a lot of professional hands-on experience. I also own my own dog and have had cats my whole life. I have extensive experience with medical needs as all of my animals have intricate medical needs and chronic conditions. I care for senior animals as well as puppies and kittens! I'm working part time and most of my work is completely remote and flexible so I have lots of time to dedicate to your beloved animals! I'm very detail oriented so feel free to leave me lots of instructions so that I can continue caring for your pet as if you were there yourself!

About: I have had a dog since I was in the 4th grade. I currently have a cane corso who is the love of my life, previous to him I had another cane corso. I love animals and would love to be able to spend my days helping someone with theirs. I am currently unemployed, and looking for something that makes me happy. I have 2 kids that are in school full time, I am available every weekday btwn 10-3 starting 8-26 I would not be able to have another dog at my house due to my dog being attacked when he was a puppy. He is now unsure of dogs and tends to be the aggressor. He does get along with some dogs. But he is the sweetest most loveable boy.

About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

“Lisa was great and very communicative while watching our puppy! She took good care of her and provided updates every couple of minutes. She did our puppies full nighttime routine. We will be rebooking with her. We so appreciate her.”

“Yasmine took great care of my cats while I was away for an extended trip. I needed a last-minute cat sitter, and she was incredibly reliable and easy to work with. She was very responsive/communicative, followed all of my instructions carefully, and always kept me informed of any observations or issues. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend Yasmine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!”

Carolyn C.

“Alicia was so kind and very responsive. One of our pups is very shy and timid, and she got him to open up to her fairly quickly! We felt so comfortable leaving them with her - especially with her detailed updates and pictures. Thank you so much, Alicia!”

Lauren F.

“Lauren was amazing! Not only only did she consistently show up on time for the scheduled visits, she went above and beyond by taking pictures of the dog for us to see and even bringing in our mail and packages that were being delivered all week long. We will definitely look to use Lauren again and would highly recommend her.”

“Anna went above and beyond with Tucker”

Bryan M.

“Tracy was great! She looked in on our older cat and younger dog this past week. Our older cat has some health issues and Tracy reported on his eating/other habits to help keep us apprised of his situation. She also took our dog for a few walks, fed her and gave her some company. Tracy responded to texts quickly, is friendly and our pets seemed to be just fine with her! We’re so thrilled!”
