“Jessica and Matt were amazing with sitting for us. They took such good care of Datoka and made sure she felt loved while we were away. They kept me updated with every visit and I couldn't be more pleased!”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with 4 years of medical experience in the veterinary field including medication administration, fear-free restraint, and client education (among many other skills). I have a strong affinity for loving on pets and using my knowledge to provide education to pet owners. I do not shy away from elderly pets, special needs pets, or pets with daily medication regimens. I like to provide peace of mind to my clients that their pets are cared for as if they were my own. If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask! I am currently a full-time LVT with open availability on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and the hopes of expanding that availability with time and interest. I am an open and honest person with years of experience not only in animal medical care, but also in cleaning homes and respecting individual and animal automony and privacy. I largely believe in listening to animal body language and recognize an animals limits to ensure a healthy and trusting relationship is made with your pet.
“Kristin is so wonderful with our dog, Champ! She does such a great job communicating with us on how Champ is doing when we are away and he always looks so happy in the pictures she sends us! She even helped keep him calm while he was scared during a thunder storm. We have used Kristin many times and will continue inthe future! Highly recommend!”

“Ariel was wonderful with my cat and they became best friends while I was away! She sent me lots of photos and videos, followed instructions, and is very trustworthy. Would 100% book with her again”

About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.
“Mary Kate is a very nice and loves animals. Sshe took care of my border collie this past weekend. Timely updates and sent me pictures of Katrina out playing in my yard. I highly recommend Mary Kate to care for your pets.”


About: Took care of animals via husbandry, socializing, feeding and watering, litter changing, etc.! Learned how to properly take care of animals, and how to make animals mostly happy. Also learned what health signs to look for when needed. I’m currently job hunting, so I have all the time to make sure dogs and cats are fed, watered, socialized for a while, and aren’t alone. Your cats and dogs deserve to be recognized by true animal lovers! I can make sure dogs is maintained if needed, and that the cat has friends (mine). I even bring my cat on a leash, so they could always meet!
About: My family is a dog family through and through. I grew up with two dogs in the household at all times, and the rule still stands. Animals have always been a part of my life no matter the lens you look through. Living in a friendly neighborhood allowed me to care for other dogs since I was 12. From sitting, to walking, to simply feeding, I was normally the one to do it! I am an energetic 22 year old who adores playing with any and every furry friend and to get paid doing it!? Sign me up!! Currently, I am an upcoming senior at Bloomsburg University. I am studying Secondary Education with a concentration in English so there is not much work for me to do in the summer since school is out and there is no work in the districts. I am heavily available and will be more than happy to take last minute scheduling if it's an emergency or desperation - go on that date! I will always treat your animals like my own. They will get plenty of loving and I'm expecting some slobbery kisses in return. I don't find much gross in regards to sickness, medical conditions, excitement pees, or simply slobber because I have surely seen it all. I am also very understanding with any rules you have for your pets and will do anything I can to abide by them. But if it means skimping out of treats then that may be a little tough. Your furry friend is of upmost importance when I am with them so I swear to never put them in harms way (ie. sketchy roads, carelessness in and out of the house, pulling on their collar when walking, etc.).
About: I have had many years of experience taking care of multiple cats and a couple of dogs. I love brushing and doing basic grooming maintenance on animals, and I have a little bit of experience administrating medication. I’m currently working full-time, but I am available to pet-sit and walk dogs during most weekends! I am looking for a more long-term set schedule on the weekends. I have several roommates who would love if your dog stopped by to give belly rubs and affection! I am happy to take your dog on fun walks at local parks and around the neighborhood.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since the age of 13. I have worked with all ages from young and untrained to senior animals with special needs. I am a trusted animal care employee for many families in my home town. I am a current college student with a lot of time on my hands! I only have classes Monday-Thursday for a few hours between 11-2. I have a fenced in yard in the back of my house that is well taken care of. There are no other dogs or cats in the house. I love taking animals on walks and playing around with them. They will have my full attention. Whatever service or care you maintain in your home will be respected in my home and in my care.
About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!
About: Since I was little i have always loved spending time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in 3rd grade and ever since then I have been taking care of dogs. Last December I adopted a puppy and he has been my main priority since. Spending time with dogs is what I believe to be the best way to spend my time! Currently I am a student in highschool and I participate in Track and field. I work at a local golf club, but the schedule is pretty open. I would be open mainly weekends or most weekdays after 5:00 unless I have a track meet. Currently I care for three dogs in my home. Two littles and one very big dog. We have a large yard but we keep our dogs leashes when they go out. Therefore in order to give them exercise we take them on long walks. As a caretaker I would be sure to put your pets safety first as well as any rules you place.
About: I have a country setting home and have a mini farm that's slowly growing. My animals are part of my family so they are treated as so. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys and my days consist of caring for my entire family. Have transportation if necessary and an incredible vet if anything God forbid were to happen during my care. Proper care consisting of following proper feeding schedules. Exercise consists of walks at the park and bathing if necessary. Lots of cuddles of pets if necessary and probably if not but definitely observant of pets needs. All animals will be given the respect they deserve. I'm fully aware of all normal dietary restrictions animals have.

Everyone loved her, the updates she gave me read more like stories and she made my kids VERY photogenic!!! Thank you Sydney!!
Meagan has been our sitter for a few years now! We can’t say enough good things about her! She’s professional, reliable, and clearly loves what she does.
