“Kristin and her husband were great! We could tell that Tanner loved them and was content hanging out with them. That gave us such peace of mind on our vacation. We will gladly use Kristin again in the future and will definitely recommend her to others. Thanks so much, Kristin!”
“Had a meet and greet with Betsy for our corgi, Maggie ,last Thursday. Today Maggie spent 4 hours with Betsy. Betsy was excellent with her and their home and environment is dog friendly. Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“We were sent photo updates of the dogs enjoying their treats and settling in. Katya also let us meet her pet axoltl which really made the day of my 6 year old. Thanks for being flexible when we asked to change dates. Katya was a great sitter and we would book again.”
About: I am home most of the day and my children spend 50% of their time with me. I have a small fenced-in backyard and love short walks around the neighborhood. I take online classes, run a small cleaning business, and drive for Lyft, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am at home most of the day. Pets are free to roam the house and be anywhere except for my bed, unless it's a little dog : ) I have had a few dogs multiple times, as the owner knows their pet is well taken care of in my home.
“Angelita took great care of remi, and sent so many pictures throughout his stay. She is so sweet and responds to texts very quickly. Will be booking with her again!”
“As always Charissa & Shawn are amazing with the fur babies and I couldn’t be more grateful for them taking in my fur baby when possible. Thank you again and till next time.”
“Beth and her family are an amazing choice! We have hired Beth twice for overnight stays. Our elkhound loves playing in their big yard. He was really happy to return the second time. Zeke seemed well cared for and tired from all the playing! I love that Beth sends photos and is very responsive.”
“Jen took amazing care of our girl, Honey! She was very accommodating for drop off, and pickup. We highly recommend her for your fur babies, and we will definitely have Jen care for Honey in the future.”
About: I’ve had the joy of providing around-the-clock love and attention to furry friends in their own space. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from four different families, each with their own unique personalities and routines. Growing up with animals, I’ve learned how to read their needs and earn their trust. I’m here to be their new best friend - and yes, you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I work from home 3 days of the week, but have flexibility to work fully remote if needed for your pet! This means that they can have someone with them every moment of the day, if that is a must. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or if they like to watch a specific show while napping on the couch. If I am in your home, I will keep things tidy, respect your personal privacy, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for. In my homes I create a cozy, pet-friendly space. I tailor to their personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhat in between!
“Dakota took wonderful care of Lupin at her house. Her communication was wonderful! If I need someone to watch Lupin again I will definitely look to see if she’s available.”
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.
“Alexis did a wonderful job! She took great care of our Hamlet while we were visiting. Even though Hamlet was there for a short period of time she kept us updated through out the day. We would highly recommend.”
“Heather and Spencer do a great job taking care of Leia. I get photo updates and they follow special care instructions. Leia is tired when I pick her up so I know she was walked and spent lots of time playing with their pups.”
“Cindy was great with Kelce. Kelce was excited to see her when we arrived at the house which is a good sign. Cindy has taken good care of our pup and provided us with pics and videos each time we’ve been there. Thank you, Cindy!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Emily watch my two cats, Orvis and Chester, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I met Emily, it was clear she was a true animal lover. Throughout the duration of their stay, Emily provided updates and photos, which was a lovely touch and really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
