“She was super attentive to every need and made sure to give every pet attention each visit! Our cats loved her and were completely relaxed and happy when we returned from vacation. She also took great care of our turtle. We loved receiving all the updates and photos, it helped us miss them a lot less. Danielle will definitely be our first choice for pet sitter when we travel next! :)”
“I wanted to share my positive experience with Caylin. She took excellent care of our cats while we were on vacation. We really appreciated her attentiveness and the fact that she sent multiple pictures each day, which truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also encountered a travel delay, and she was very flexible and accommodating, which was incredibly helpful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Alexandria was a wonderful care giver for our cat. If I could give her 6 stars, I would. Our cat is scared of everyone and Alexandria was able to connect with her and got her to purr and play and come out from underneath the bed while we were on vacation. Alexandria also sent us pictures and informed us of her well being. I will definitely be using Alexandria again and would recommend her since she is responsible and connects well with pets. Thank you Alexandria for all that you did.”
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Bridget is amazing! She takes such great care of our babies! She is an awesome photographer and sends the cutest pictures of the girls to us and makes us feel not so guilty about leaving them at home! I highly recommend her!”
“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”
“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”
About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and birds, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs, whether your pet has feathers, fur, or scales. I specialize in senior pet care, puppy & kitten care, and even exotic pets. I was honored with an award on my Vet Science Team, and I'm currently a psychology major with a biology minor at Millersville University. I combine empathy, reliability, and science-backed insight to give your pet personalized, compassionate care while you're away. Your pet becomes a part of my family. I'm currently a college student on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open for pet sitting, drop-ins, and extended stays. With plenty of time and flexibility, I can give your pet all the attention, playtime, and care they deserve, whenever you need it. Your home and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities. I treat every client’s space with the same care and respect I would my own, clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’m dependable, communicative, and take professionalism seriously, whether I'm doing a quick drop-in or an extended stay. You can count on me to follow instructions with an attention to detail, maintain a calm and safe environment, and provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you're away.
