SERVING CHADDS FORD, PA - WE STAY LOCAL TO MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE
Hello!
My name is Angela and I'm The PetSmith.
I could say this story starts in our childhoods, as my husband and I have been captivated by animals our entire lives. We've had many wonderful dogs, horses, and even a peacock along the way, and they have all been incredibly special friends. But really, the story of this business starts with Rosie - a very special bulldog that required lots of special care. Despite all the meds, treatments, injections, and vet visits that dominated her day-to-day, Rosie maintained a sweet and funny outlook on life that captured our hearts. She left my husband and I on 5/26/22 after a short battle with cancer, leaving a void in our hearts and also in our daily routine of caring for a beloved pet. So we decided to share our love and care with your creatures! My background in veterinary medicine, equine management and competition, and property management provides the perfect combination for the experienced pet, home, or farm sitter you need.

Here are some highlights:
-
10+ years of large and small animal veterinary care experience from working at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and New Bolton Center equips me with the ability to care for any special need your animal may require - treatments, wraps, meds, injections (IV in large animals, IM and Subcutaneous for all animals), mobility management, senior pet care...
-
8+ years as both a residential and vacation rental property owner ensures that I know how to maintain your home or farm with the utmost diligence and attention to detail
-
A lifetime of equine ownership, equestrian competition, and boarding facility management cultivated grit, reliability, and a dedication to getting sh*t done, and done correctly
