About: Hi, I’m Maya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and even horses—and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around age 15, and since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ve helped raise playful puppies, provided comfort to senior pets, and everything in between. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’m here to help. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’d love to meet you and your pet, let’s set up a meet and greet soon! I am currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule to fit your needs! I’d love to work around your busy schedule! I have a fenced-in yard and an extremely playful, friendly English Cream Golden Retriever who is two years old and loves playdates! I also have two cats of my own. Pets in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel right at home. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a three-legged dog in the past, which taught me how to adapt to special needs and provide compassionate, attentive care for pets of all abilities.

Kathryn was great! We needed a dog walker in a pinch and Kathryn was able to make it work! She took time to do a meet and greet on the weekend and we felt very comfortable with Kathryn walking our dog. She took the time to learn about her traits and what made a walk successful for our dog reactive dog. Would definitely recommend!

About: I have had 5 dogs ranging in needs, size, and age (lab, chow chow, dachshund, blue heeler, and corgi). I have provided care to my own pets as well as family, friends, and neighbors for my entire life. I frequently volunteer at the SPCA where I take various dogs on walks and take care of them outside the shelter for a full day. I absolutely love all animals, especially dogs. I am dedicated to meeting all dogs different needs, providing undivided attention to all animals. I am open to provided any needed services and am fairly flexible. I am a current student at West Chester University so my schedule may vary by week (I will update my availability weekly!). I have a lot of free time that allows me to have unlimited time to take care of and love your furry friends!! I currently have 3 dogs, a bird, and a cat. One of my dogs is old (11 years old) so I am used to the medicine and senior routine that he requires. I feed all 3 of my dogs, take them on walks daily, and provide them with the upmost care and love.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away — whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. I love keeping pets on their usual routine and making sure they get lots of attention and exercise. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re comfortable, loved, and secure. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routines. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities!

Anna is such a sweetheart! I rescued an my old girl Bex and she normally doesn’t take to people quickly but Anna knew exactly what to do and how to handle her! I was an avid Wag! Fan and user but honestly I feel more comfortable with Anna watching after my girl(s) she even made sure my cats were inside because of my ocd! She’s fantastic and I’m retiring the Wag! App and sticking to my girl Anna!

About: I've been taking care of my corgi, Muffin, for 10+ years since she was a puppy! Trained, fed, walked, played, etc. I've done drop-by visits for both dogs and cats for pet parents who are traveling. I've also taken care of my neighbors dogs many times while the owners were out on vacation. Also included in my photos are farm animals that I had the pleasure of hanging out with the past two summers! Happy to accommodate to your pet sitting needs! As an upcoming college student currently working a part time job this summer, I have some free time to spare! I would love to help out in any way I can. In my home, me and my corgi play fetch and lounge around outside in our big fenced in backyard! I will put in the same amount of effort for your pets that I do for mine. There are also many amazing parks nearby where I walk my dog!

About: Hello! My name is Hope. Although I have been taking care of animals all my life, my experience really began almost four years ago, when I started taking animal/veterinary science classes in high school. Since then, I have taken care of hundreds of dogs, cats, exotics, and barn animals through my experience in school and working for a boarding facility. These animals include pets of many different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. These pets also include ones with special needs and/or medication. I have a veterinary assistant certification from the AVMA, and am studying veterinary technology in college. This past year, I have worked with hundreds of dogs and cats, and have gotten to see now more than ever the unique personalities that shine through every animal! I love animals, and every animal I care for feels like my own. I'm a part-time worker who is taking a semester off from college, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm available for pet care anytime, any day, with occasional exceptions. In my past four years of animal care, I have learned that attention to detail is extremely important when it comes to safety. I do everything in my power to never miss a health concern. To put your mind at ease, I will always be ready to give updates and photos so you can see how your furbaby is doing. When looking after your pet, I want to be sure that they are as comfortable as they possibly can be. I make it a goal to provide extra love and enrichment, so that their time away from you is stress-free.

Lili visited with both Molly and I for a pre walk conversation for her to get to know Molly since Molly can be super finicky. Lili was patient and calm while Molly barked and sniffed and eventually calmed and got to know her. I think Lili and Molly will be good friends!!
