Dog Walking Villanova

About: I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of pets! I’ve worked with trainers for reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and I also care for a senior cat with complex needs. I love all animals. Because I create my own schedule for nursing, I often have days and nights free for pet care! I have a car and can fit all sorts of animal care needs into my schedule. When caring for your pets, I will spend lots of time playing, giving them cuddles, and taking them outside when needed. I will make sure they are happy.

About: Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs of all sizes and personalities. Since I was a kid, I was always the first to help my neighbors and friends with dog sitting or walking. I can’t help the bond I have with our furry best friends! I still help my family and friends with any dog sitting needs to this day! I work from home Monday-Friday and have availability during lunch to assist with playtime or walks. For daily/overnight stays, I can work from your home. I will make sure to keep a close eye on your fur baby as well as give them lots of love and a friendly presence to be around!

About: I’m a responsible and friendly student. I love animals and have done lots of pet-sitting in the past. I used to take care of two baby pups in addition to two young children when I babysat. I would regularly walk the dogs and take them out to use the bathroom. I’ll have time to walk into town and walk dogs, and even an overnight if that is needed let me know what you need :)) I can’t care for pets in my home right now, however I know lots of parks locally that dogs would love to go to. :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.

“We’ll be booking Daphne again! She was able to help us out to walk our two senior dogs with short notice. She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time for the walk, and went above and beyond walking our newer adopted dog whose leash manners are a work in progress. In the app, we got a picture and update after her drop in/walk. Our dogs were clearly in very good hands. Can’t ask for anything more than that!”

I am starting a new job in a few months and so have a lot of free time, and will available most days and times. I am very professional and am happy to meet in person ahead of time. I will gladly send pictures throughout the walk/visit to ensure you feel comfortable leaving your pet with me.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets through my own animals and by helping care for others’ pets. I am the owner of two cats and two dogs, and I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box care, basic grooming, and monitoring behavior and health. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including large breeds such as German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, as well as small and medium-sized dogs. I previously owned two German Shepherds and currently help care for a Bichon Poodle, Labradoodle, and Standard Poodle. I have also cared for dogs with special needs, including a deaf dog and a dog with seizures, and I am comfortable administering oral medications, whether mixed with food or given directly. I also have experience caring for a dog from a puppy mill background who required extra patience and gentle support to come out of their shell. I prioritize creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, supported, and cared for. I treat every pet like family and always focus on their comfort, safety, and happiness. I currently work full time, but pet care is a regular part of my daily routine as I care for two cats and two dogs of my own. I am available on weekends and on select weekdays, and during those times I am able to dedicate focused, quality time to feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m intentional about scheduling so that pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferences. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and affectionate attention while ensuring their environment stays clean and safe. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering oral medications. I prioritize a calm, secure, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable, supported, and at ease, whether they are in their own home or mine.

About: I have worked at PlayTime Pet Resort, a pet boarding facility. Additionally, I have experience in pet sitting and walking for families in my neighborhood. I am a full time student while playing a collegiate sport. Nights during the weekday and all day on the weekends work best for my schedule. I have a cat and dog at home who I keep active by providing a stimulating environment. Using my experience in pet sitting and walking, I can ensure that I take great care of pets while cleaning up after them.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!

“Alex has been super reliable and great with communication! She has been patient with our dog as he gets to know her. We are so happy we found her!!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have experience for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I am also comfortable with fish, reptiles, and other small pets, so I can cover any additional pets other than dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your pets loves walks, or playing, or just company to hang out with, I’ll make sure to give them the care they need, as well as the style they prefer. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet with someone else, so I value communication above all. Whether it be photos, quick updates, or detailed summaries of each visit, I prioritize a clean and quick path of communication, from the moment my services are required, the moment they’re complete. I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the ‘go-to’ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so we’re all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.

“Craig is great!! Always here on time and Higgins, my terrier, gets new route each time. This evening walk relieves a lot of stress for me and my husband- knowing that we can rely on Craig.”

About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area offering dog walking and in-home pet sitting. I am currently focusing on dog walking as I transition and build my business I’m transitioning into retirement, which gives me a flexible schedule and lets me focus on what I enjoy most—spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away or busy. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable with me right away. Light check-ins, feeding, and morning potty breaks or walks for house sitting clients. ⸻ 🌤 Midday My main dog walking window in the Bryn Mawr/Main Line area. Walks are calm, unhurried, and tailored to each dog’s energy level. ⸻ 🌇 Afternoon Drop-in visits or additional walks if needed, plus companionship time for house sitting stays. ⸻ 🌙 Evening Feeding, evening walks, and making sure pets are settled and comfortable for the night. ⸻ Because I’m transitioning into retirement, I’m able to keep my schedule flexible and focus on providing consistent, attentive care without rushing. I take dogs on long walks. I do have a crate in my home, but typically if I am leaving I set up a bed and den like atmosphere in my second floor laundry room which I gate do the dog stays safe. I run an Airbnb in my third floor so while I can watch dogs in my home, in house at the dog’s home is preferable. I am extremely safety conscious and when I have dogs over I try to keep them in my sight at all times. If they love cuddling, they will get tons of cuddles from me

About: I’ve had so many different animals in my life I guess you could say at this point I could care for a small zoo?! From rabbits to rats, to lizards to guinea pigs, to birds to hermit crabs to the tried and true cats and dogs I’ve truly cared for and have loved them all. And while I would now consider myself a dog person (hence the boop the snoot tagline). I do have a genuine love for all animals and now wish to share my experience, expertise, love and care with the animals that sometimes need a little extra while their “hoomans” have other things they need to address. I work freelance gigs in the small business space helping with back end business admin and marketing so I can truly make my own schedule which is ideal for cat and dog sitting gigs, no?! I currently have two rescues, a Siamese cat- Edgar Allan Poe (who goes by Poe) and a who knows what dog, (probably a lab/boxer mix, we’ve yet to order a DNA test), named Lucky. Both of my guys are super chill at this point in their lives and have no issues with other animals. With Lucky we take multiple daily walks and do have a fenced in yard, tho it is small and he begs for and prefers walks so it is rarely used as the primary source of going out. (Read that as I am used to and enjoy walks)
