Dog Sitting in Thornton

About: I grew up with a big Labradoodle and have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and even stay overnight with their pups. I love spending time with every dog and getting to know what makes each one special! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I am available for sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! I follow each pet’s routine, including feedings, walks, and any special care. I keep everything clean, give pets plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing!

About: Welcome to Aaron’s Boarding, a 4 bedroom ranch house on an acre of land that includes a private fenced in yard for lots of activities and play. We are pleased to announce that we now offer dog walking and hourly yard rental through SniffSpot, Melanie’s Play yard. My team and I have taken care of over 100 foster and boarder dogs including the SCPA and training service dogs. We’ve cared for moms with litters of 10 puppies, young adult, adult, senior, special needs including diabetes and all types of physical disabilities. We have been boarding dogs since April 2020. We are able to take dogs up to 65 pounds and any dogs over 65 pounds will be considered if trained well, Rover just doesn’t have a setting to say that. Most of our clients choose us because we offer private boarding for their dog only. However, our business has grown, and we now accept a maximum of 3 dogs. The dogs can either come from the same home or they are friends or we sometimes negotiate a cross board through a meet and greet. We have a highly desirable environment due to not having any dogs, cats, or small children. We provide bowls and crates. Bring dog beds, food, treats, bones and toys. We do not provide those. We are a team of 3 with 24 hour service. IMPORTANT!!! We only board dogs. Dogs must be crate trained. We only accept dogs that sleep in a crate at night. No exceptions. We only take dogs that are microchipped and spayed/neutered. All new dogs are required to have a meet and greet before being accepted for boarding. Any potential cross boarding is approved through a meet and greet between families. We look forward to keeping your furry friends safe while you are away. We only take puppies older than 16 weeks and they must be house trained, crate trained, don’t jump or bite and sleep through the night. Don’t forget to use my promo code if this is your first time using Rover to save $20 on your first booking https://www.rover.com/sit/aaronp13595 Aaron's boarding is a full time family run business with a total of 3 trained adults. We are 3 trained adults with years of experience. Our home is safe for dogs, they have full run of the house and are walked on a leash on our property as well as in the neighborhood. We are happy to take car rides, and they would get plenty of snuggles and playtime. I have loved dogs my whole life and enjoy looking after them and their different personalities, I look forward to meeting with you and your dogs. Please Note: We are unable to board medium to high shedding dogs such as German Shepherds, Huskies, Akitas and similar breed. If they are a mixed breed please contact me for additional information.

“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”

About: I grew up with at least one big dog always in the house. I’m very comfortable with working with multiple dogs and dogs of all sizes. But, I also have a lot of experience with different pets. I have a lot of experience taking care of my own senior cat and will happily take care of your cat. I also have some experience with rodents and birds. Whatever you need Imm happy to provide. I am currently going to college. If your home is nearby I can stop by between classes but my classes go no later than 3:30. I’ll listen to your wants and needs. I can crate dogs if that’s your preference and work with what you need. Each pet’s needs are different and the owner knows best.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog as well as family and friends dogs for about 10 years. I am able to take long walks, feed, and entertain in general. I consider myself very trustworthy as I’ve had a dog my whole life. I recently just graduated college and am back home so I am free most weekdays any time after 1 pm. I can walk around for some good exercise for the dog or just play in the yard. I live in a great area for nice long walks. If I’m staying at a clients home, I provide lots of cuddles inside as well as fun play time outside.

“I am so happy to find Catherine to care for my Molly. Catherine is reliable, very attentive and communication could not have been better. I would highly recommend Catherine and look forward to working with her in the future.”

About: My beloved pet Cookie just passed away at age 18. I gave her plenty of love and care and will do the same for your dog/s. Can’t wait to snuggle with your pet and treat him or her like Family. I live in the Garnet Valley School District and have lots of time to give your dog happy hellos, soft snuggles and loyal Friendship. I have experience in letting dogs out from at their home and taking dogs for walks when owners are away on vacation. I love making dogs happy with kind words, food/treats, sitting next to them and rubbing their belly. My home is perfect for boarding because I live in a quiet, traffic free area and it safe to walk or board your adorable pet. I also have a gated deck to enjoy fresh air when the weather is nice. If your preference is to leave your furry friend in your home, I would gladly come out to your home to look after your pet/s in their familiar environment.

I love all animals (especially DOGs!!) and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my furry friends I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve.

Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family.

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and have been the go-to sitter for neighbors and family friends since I was a teenager. I’m comfortable with administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and handling the day-to-day needs that come with caring for pets. I grew up with dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy watching your pets. I always try to make animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind when they’re away. I’m currently working part-time and taking online summer classes, so I’ll be home and available a lot throughout the week this summer. My work shifts are never longer than about 4 hours at a time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, and keeping pets company. I’m reliable, responsive, and love making pet care part of my daily routine. I live in a house in West Chester with three roommates and no pets in the home, which creates a calm and comfortable environment for visiting pets. While the yard is not fenced in, your dog will always be safely leashed outside, and I’m very attentive during walks and outdoor time. I’m only a block away from a local park, so pets will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“So great with my dog. They give him a ton of attention and always send funny pictures of him playing.”

“Christie took great care of my cats while we were away. She made sure they had fresh food and water every day and cleaned the litter box each time she stopped by. I will definitely request her again the next time we go away!”

I am a Lafayette college student with a very flexible schedule . I am normally available during the afternoons and weekends. I am not available in the mornings. I like to walk my dog in an environment that they are comfortable with and make sure they have extra time to get their energy out.
