“Dina was very nice and made sure to send plenty of pictures, videos and descriptions about each of her visits with Willow. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Trustable, dependable, friendly, competent, compassionate, knowledgeable. Zania is everything one would want in a pet sitter. My babies were loved and didn’t even notice that I was gone!”
“Kat was so great to work with! She was so nice and willing to work with us and our routine. Our dog was extremely comfortable with her (and loved all the scratches and pets).”
“Samantha did a great job with my kitties. Even the shy girl came out and let her pet her. She spent time with our cats which is very important to us. She was great at communicating with me. I will hire Sam again.”
“Katya did a wonderful job of taking care of our shy cat while we were away! We weren't sure if Pepper would even be seen during the visits. She is usually shy and hides when she hears strangers. Katya got her to come out of her shell and come out of hiding for all the visits while we were away. Katya was spot with all of the care instructions and getting access to our house. We will be recommending her highly to friends and neighbors here in our community who need pet care. We also recommend her highly to anyone who reads this review.”
“Anne was great! Came over to do a meet and greet beforehand. She followed the instructions I had laid out and sent a bunch of pictures each time she did a drop in. My cats are very shy and they both came out the first visit and then the second and third visit just Teddy came out and was super affectionate. Would absolutely recommend Anne and request her again.”
“After losing our pet sitter we had for over 5 years, we are so happy to find Cheryl! We won’t have to worry about leaving our cats while on vacation, we know they will be well taken care of!”
About: I know what it feels like to try to find the right sitter to make sure your pet is safe and taken care of. As someone who has worked at PetSmart and has always had a passion for animals, I will make sure of comfortability within you and your pet! As someone who would love to work with animals full time, I have open availability. I do have my own fur babies so I am available after 10 am. I will do as told as long as I have it written for me. Communication is important for me so as long as it's communicated to me, it most certainly will be done.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Milo for the week while we were on vacation. The daily updates and photos put my mind at ease and she was on time with her check ins every day. Milo seemed to have thrived under her care and I am so grateful that she was available and took such great care of him. She even went the extra mile and brought our packages in that were delivered while we were away! Thanks for everything Kaitlin! ?”
About: I am a weekly volunteer at Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue. I am a former teacher, so I will follow your directions, be impeccably respectful. I am in a job transition so I am flexible to care for your fur babies. If a change, I will let you know times. My two cats never go outside, I keep updated medical history. They are cherished and are fed special food. They are truly Spoiled and Happy.
About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
About: With over a decade of pet care experience, I specialize in feeding, walking, grooming, playing with and bathing dogs and cats. Recently, I’ve also expanded my skills to include nail trimming and grinding, ensuring my furry friends receive comprehensive and loving care. I currently work part time so I should be available often to provide care for your pets. Spending time at home allows me to offer plenty of care and attention to the family pets, so I can easily use that experience in caring for yours. Regrettably, I am unable to provide personal home sitting services at this time, as my pets exhibit reactive behavior and do not adapt well to unfamiliar animals in their environment. I appreciate your understanding in this matter. I am committed to ensuring your pet's happiness and well-being. I am more than willing to follow any routines you and your pet have established to maintain consistency. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority, and I will take all necessary measures to protect them at all times. Thank you for entrusting me with their care.
“Anthony was excellent with our pets.our shy cats warmed up to him quickly. Milo our senior dog has medical issues and his needs where very well taken care off. Meds where given daily and also insulin shots. We will definitely ask Anthony to pet sit again.”
About: I have been taking care of the pets of my family and friends since I was a child, and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, fish, you name it! I have consistent families who ask me to pet-sit, and have pet-sat with up to 3 dogs in the home as well as a cat and bird! I have a dog of my own who pulls a lot when she walks, so I can handle that too! I have cared for senior animals and puppies, and animals with medical needs & diapers, plus homes with multiple different kinds of animals. I have cared for many many different breeds of dogs, from newfoundland's to chihuahuas. I have also cared for shy and anxious dogs, so I know how to approach them! I work a hybrid position, so I can spend the majority of the day with your animal, however one day a week I work the full day at the office. I have an animal, so my schedule already revolves around making sure I care for her and don't leave her alone too long. While I am pet-sitting, I have family members who will care for her. I can do drop-in's/hanging out with the pet for the day or multiple hours and then going home to sleep, or in-home pet care. I am less available for in-home as it depends on care for my own animal! I adjust my care based on the needs of the pet- if they are active and want to play, that's what we can do during a check-in, if they are a cuddle bug, then I will give them that attention during a check-in.

Jennifer B.
“Jennifer is an incredible asset to DVGRR, where she currently volunteers two evenings a week, along with helping our monthly open house events. Her dedication to the dogs, especially the shy and more vulnerable ones, is nothing short of compassionate. She has a natural ability to connect with them—always patient, gentle, and understanding. She never hesitates to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. Whether it’s working directly with the dogs, assisting with events, or helping behind the scenes, she does it all with a smile and a kind heart. I think Rover would be lucky to have someone as kind, reliable, and deeply caring as Jennifer on their team!”

Gabrielle F.
“Gabrielle is one of the few people who genuinely care about all types of animals. I would be hesitant to trust a stranger taking care of one of my pets but Gabrielle knows her stuff when it comes to the food they should eat, the exercise they need and even the environment they should be living in. She’s one of the most trustworthy people I know when it comes to animal care.”
