Thank you Juliana!!!”

“Danica took care of Cleo as if she were her own. She was communicative and left the house in a clean state. I would recommend her to friends and family looking for a pet sitter in the Kennett Sq area.”

“I was able to book Glenna last minute for the 4th of July. She was quick to respond, making the holiday more enjoyable knowing our cats were well taken care of.”
“Teresa is the nicest, kindest, most reliable sitter you can find. She is more than capable of handling our cat’s medical needs and reliably gave him his daily medication.

“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Carly! She took fantastic care of our German Shepherd, Ruby, while we were away. Ruby can be a bit hesitant with new people, but Carly was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind. She took the time to build trust, and it wasn’t long before Ruby completely warmed up to her. Carly made sure Ruby was well-fed, sticking closely to her routine, and always kept us updated so we knew she was in great hands. She even cleaned up a little oopsy accident in the house without hesitation, handling it with total grace and compassion. What touched us most was how affectionate and loving she was with Ruby, sharing cuddles, giving her attention, and making sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. It was clear Ruby was not just looked after, but loved. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we are beyond grateful. Carly is a true gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and truly exceptional sitter. Thank you, Carly! 🐾💛”
“Courtney is phenomenal. She’s watched my black lab a couple of times this summer and I could not be any happier. She plays with my doggie, sends pictures of every visit and always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have owned cats my whole life, have been somewhat of a cat whisperer because I know to respect when they would like some space! lots of experience doing oral medication, happy to fit their routine
“Alaina is a fantastic pet sitter! She took very good care of our cats and took wonderful photos. During her care we received excellent communication. We would gladly book again.”
“Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.”
“That’s great to hear. I really can’t thank you enough for doing so well with him. It’s such great peace of mind to know he’s in good hands during the day. Thanks again, and have a great weekend yourself!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent for 8 years and currently have a 6-year-old cat of my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat loves attention, needs time to warm up, or prefers to do their own thing, I’ll respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of cuddles when they want them!
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was a small girl. My neighbors had 10+ and I took care of them as a young girl. In my adulthood I have taken in many special needs cats with fragile medical needs and complex medications (IV fluids, etc). I am very comfortable with all needs for cats. I'm happy to watch them in your home or even mine.

About: Animals are always taken good care of I love animals and have a lot of experience to care for an animal when I pet sit. I have free time we mostly do pet sitting I have the time and care when your animal is with me while your away . I have a space to walk the dogs and we have a park I can run around with them or just to sit in the sun.
About: I got my first dog when I was 18 years old. She was the sweetest pup I have ever met! Since then dogs have become an irreplaceable part of my life. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs & few dogs with behavioral needs. I have fostered dogs through the years and learnt how meaningful this experience can be. My last foster was a young adult who was a year old. Open to pets all day subjected to advance notice/short notice. I'm mostly home so I can be flexible with your routine and needs. A small heads up is always appreciated. I live in an apartment complex which is 5 mins away from 2 dog parks. I'll take your dog for daily exercise and morning, afternoon and evening. I live in a neighborhood which has lots of space to walk for regular/short walks. I have a 7 year old mild tempered female dog who will provide excellent care and comfort while you are away. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate.

“Dante was an amazing caretaker! I received photo updates throughout her stay as she got to enjoy playing with his lil Frenchie. I received a lovely report upon pickup too, as she was smiling away!! She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”

“Yolanda is AMAZING!! She kept me updated throughout the day by sending me texts, pictures, and videos of my little guy and how much fun he was having!!

I would highly recommend Yolanda and we will definitely be returning clients.”
“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your pup will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My pets are kept separate during boarding and they will have no interaction. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day.
“I can not say enough about how wonderful Cecilia was in taking care of my 2 Aussie pups. We were in town for 2 days visiting friends and having her and her husband to take care of our children allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. She even offered to keep them till 8pm and deliver them to us. Both our babies us came home happy and exhausted. Cecilia is so passionate about caring for furbabies. I especially loved how she could read their body language and make quick adjustments to how she introduced them to her home. You could tell that their comfort level was more important than just moving from point A to point B. Thank you Cecilia for being you!”
“Gus was so excited when he saw Chassy! We were back for our second stay because Chassy took such great care of Gus! She sent video and pictures…I really appreciate the updates! Chassy is awesome! I highly recommend Chassy!”

This is currently my main job, so ensuring my flexibility for you is priority! I look forward to working with you to make sure your pets are cared for. I love to visit and take care of friends!

For my cat friends, I’m happy to take care of the same things, with offers of cuddles and lap time in place of the walks for the indoor kitties.

“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.
