“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.”

“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).”

“Kaitlin is amazing with my Teddy! She is puntual, attentive, flexible and kind. She sent me pictures and videos, and plenty of updates. She made me feel at ease knowing that he was in great care. I will definitely be rebooking with her! ☺️”

About: My journey began when I worked for the Humane League in Lancaster. From there, I started caring for friends' and families' pets over the years, as well as my own. I have owned both cats and dogs; currently, I have a Great Dane/Labrador Mix and a mini dachshund. My experience caring for dogs includes bathing, ear cleaning, teething brushing, walks, fetch, feeding, medication administration, and just hanging out! All breeds WELCOME, both BIG and small! I do work full-time, but I am available during the week, early mornings, evenings, and nights. Since I do not work weekends, I have open availability. I do not work holidays, and am available during those times as well. I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Pet parents can trust that I will follow whatever instructions are provided to me. My professional job is in Human Resources, so I understand the importance of following the rules, and I believe in caring for a pet the same way I would want mine cared for.
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.
“Erin was great and was able to work with my on some last minute scheduling changes which I really appreciate. She was great and always kept in contact. Any issues or questions she always quick to ask and faster to resolve. Excellent experience with Erin and I hope to use her in the future when needed.”

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.
“Zania did a WONDERFUL job with our dogs, one of which is a little high energy. She went out of her way to take them on a “field trip” to run out their energy and play with other dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she even helped with some of my around-the-house tasks. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have been dog walking neighborhood pups since I was little. I have my own dog, a 3 old Dachshund and Pit mix. He is my best friend! I will love your dog like it’s my own. You and your dog’s needs become my own. I can dog walk, dog sit, drop in or watch your dog at my house. Whatever you and your pup need, I am your go to person. I am open to any breed and age.I can drop by your house however many times you need me to. I can feed your pup and walk them and whatever else you need. I am currently working part-time and going to school. I am home most of the day almost every day! My weekly schedule is pretty fixed so last minute drop-in’s are not a problem for me. I have an unleashed dog park right next to my apartment as well as a walking trail and grass area. My dog, Hank, loves others dogs and would love a friend to come visit! I can crate them if that’s your preference or make them feel at home however you prefer!
About: I grew up raising two beagles! I’ve cared for my own cats, learning firsthand how to meet their unique needs and quirks. I’m comfortable with everything from playful pups to independent kitties, and I always treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s going for walks, giving cuddles, or keeping a consistent routine, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for! I am a full time teacher so weekends are the perfect opportunity to spend time with furry friends! I love being able to keep pets company and care for them. I do in home visits. Whatever needs your pets have I am there to meet! A long walk, some time in the park, or just time to cuddle!
About: My entire life has been spent surrounded by all kinds of animals. I have personally owned dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats and birds. I have worked in grooming shops and with service dog trainers to advance my knowledge and am always finding new ways to improve! I also have experienced with medically complicated animals, such as diabetes and am comfortable administering any medications needed. I work full time, Monday-Thursday so I am typically more available on the weekends but am willing to do weekday stays for animals who are used to a full time work schedule. Instructions from the owner on safety precautions will always be taken seriously and with great attention. No one wants to worry about their pet escaping while on vacation! I am a detail oriented person so you can rest assured that everything will be done with due diligence
About: For my senior year of high school I went to a trade school to get my vet assistant certification. I graduated and received my certificate. In the program I was taught basic grooming nails, ears, and even shaving. Everyday we would walk the classroom dogs and interact with them. After high school I worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months before I ended up without a car and wasn’t able to drive the distance to work anymore. Looking for something to do on the side as I work a full time job but never wanted to give up working with animals as it’s my passion. I have a almost year old Pitsky puppy (pitbull/husky) named Dior. He is my such a sweetheart and loves to be around other dogs as well. Over the years I have watched my coworkers dogs, my uncles dog when he got fixed and had to wear a cone during the day so my uncle wasn’t able to watch him since he had to work, etc. I can’t wait to meet and interact with your furry friends and give them a special place in my heart as well💕 I work full time during the week but I always have evenings available to drop ins or walks. Days I am fully available would be Sunday and occasional Mondays as I now babysit as well. Weekends vary but I’m willing to be flexible. I have a nice area that I walk my dog to, to go to the bathroom and there’s also a development I walk through on nicer days, I have an extra bedroom for a crate if your dog needs to bring theirs
