If you need daycare for your dog we highly recommend Heather.”

About: I have never been without a dog in my life! I love dogs more than most anything! They give such unconditional love. I spend most of my free time with dogs. Whether that’s training them , showing them or just laying on the couch cuddle them. I am a very caring person that is very attentive to pets needs. I grew up on a farm. I have experience with all sizes of dogs.I am a preservation breeder of bloodhounds( last litter 6 years ago sadly). There’s nothing better than being in a whelping box with puppies climbing all over you. I have experience caring for every age dog, as well as different health issues. I’ve also worked as a vet tech and have a lot of veterinary experience from changing wound dressings to administering pills and shots. Although not certified I have been training dogs my entire life. I am also an empath and have special connections with animals . I can tune into what they need and read body language . I believe in holistic health for people and pets. If you have a pet that needs special food ( raw, cooked, live) I have no issue with that. I treat my dogs like my children. They have a schedule, they are fed, exercised and have nap time and bed time consistently everyday. They live in my house with me. Currently have 3 bloodhounds ( 9,7&7 mo) and one cat who thinks he’s a dog😊 I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I have time late mornings (10-3)afternoon and evenings after 6 for pet visits and walks. My dogs are treated like family . I do believe in consistency whether that’s their routine or in their training. They are loved and spoiled but are also made to behave appropriately. Although bloodhounds do like to test the limits. lol I would treat your family pet the same with love , patience and consistency.
“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”
About: I have loved and cared for different dog breeds, from chihuahua to golden-doodle; and I bonded with a rescue mutt in my childhood. In my time I have enjoyed handling dogs with different personalities. I will provide your dog a safe haven by bringing them rest, play, and good long walks. I live at home with my parents; and we spend most of our time at home...so your dog will have access to nearly round-the-clock loving attention. Rain or shine or wind or calm I will be with your dog. I have a friendly poodle-fox-terrier mix that will love playing with your pooch. I will walk and play with your dog outside in our pet-friendly neighborhood.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every pet I care for. I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds and every family pet has always loved me. I treat each dog like my own with patience, love, playtime and extra care. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I currently work weekdays from 6 AM to 6 PM, but I’m fully available on weekends and all holidays to care for your pets with love. I have a fenced back yard and a room dedicated to any animal i care for with all kinds of things that will interest them as well as air conditioning and heat when needed
About: Pets are part of one’s family . Their daily antics bring such delight . Be it puppy, kittens or adult stage . Love them all . To me pets help make a house a home . I am recently retired and need a to fill some of my time and looking after pets seems to be my niche. Feeding , walking and spending some time to sit and visit with them to keep them from missing their families while they are away . I have had pets all my life . We do not have a fenced lawn so dogs will be leashed while outside . We live in a neighborhood with not a lot of car traffic . Cats , will live sitting in the big front window or in the sunroom with lots of windows . Plenty soft spots for the fur babies to take a nap .
About: Growing up, we always had pets, mostly dogs (large and small breeds), but the occasional cat as well! I love all animals as if they were my own! I currently have 2 cats. Both cats are spayed females (mother and daughter). They are unexpected pets, but we love them and couldn’t see ourselves without them! The mom cat (Kitty) was a feral pregnant cat who we took in and cared for and after 2 litters we were able to get her spayed (she is a mostly outside cat) and we kept one from her little and had her spayed as well although she is indoor only. I adopted a German shepherd pup in 2009, named Roxy, and she was the best! She has since past, but she was absolutely great with my children and very easily trained! In 2015 I adopted a chocolate lab, named Tommy, and he was wonderful as well and got along great with my shepherd! Of course he was a chewer and chewed anything and everything he could! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule pretty flexible. My schools age kids currently end school at 330-4pm and begin at 9am so I’d say I’m available between 9:30-2:30pm or after 4pm on Mondays and Fridays. My kids love animals as well! I do not have a fenced in yard, so would walk your pet on a leash, but they would have free range in my home if it was an overnight stay. In a clients home I would be sure to follow whatever the pet care request is.
“I wish I could post 20 stars for this dog sitter! She was exceptional! Very sweet and personable and I know she took great care of our dog while she watched her. Savannah also communicated very well with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her!”

Foxy H.
“I have a dog named Inky that I adopted almost 2 years ago. He came from a high kill shelter and he's almost blind and has separation anxiety. I found Foxy and she has been a godsend and he loves her!! Inky has been to her house many times in the last year for a day here and there and many overnight stays when we go away. She takes him for walks, gives him his medication and also keeps me updated daily on how he is doing! I highly recommend Foxy if you need someone to go above and beyond to take care of your dog!”

Alexis T.
“Lexi has been a lover of pets for as long as I can remember. She finds true joy in their unique personalities and loves to play with and care for them. From bunnies to horses, she is incredibly comfortable around all animals. She is also easy to talk to and will help to put you at ease with her laid back personality. You can feel confident leave your pet in her care.”
Malikah D.
“I can’t say enough good things about Malikah when it comes to taking care of my dog, she is so patient, caring, and incredibly responsible. She’s exactly the kind of person you’d want looking out for your pet. Whether it’s going on walks, making sure they eat on schedule, or just plenty of attention and care Malikah will always go above and beyond. My dog absolutely lights up every time she sees her. I trust her completely and I know I will never need to worry my dog in her care. She treats my pet like her own and that’s the kind of person you’d want to take care of your pet.”
Diane J.
“Diane loves animals. Even animals which are not ours will come to her first. Our grown children have pets. They all run to “grandma” when they see her coming. She plays with them and talks to them. We have babysat cats and dogs of nieces, nephews, and other family members. Prior to our marriage, Diane had a cat and a dog. The dog had passed away prior to our marriage. She treated both pets as family members. You could see the love she had for Snuggles (the cat). The name fit the relationship. We went to the Humane League and adopted a dog named Tasha. Tasha fit right in with our family. Tasha was a sick dog when we adopted her. The vet said do not get too attached because she isn’t going to make it. Well, Diane nursed her 24 hours a day and gave the medicine the vet provided. We took her back to the vet and he could not believe how healthy Tasha was. He said it was a miracle. After both pets passed, we received a phone call from our daughter. At her work the found two young kittens in a dumpster. She knew who to call. Diane took them in and made them part of our family. Iddy and Buddy provided us a lot of love. When moved to Hawaii they went with us. They loved the eight years in Hawaii as much as we did. We came back to Pennsylvania 6 years ago. Unfortunately Iddy passed 2 years ago and Buddy passed last year. She cared for them until it was time to let them pass. Diane had one lady who would hire Diane to take care of her 2 dogs and an outside cat who lived in a barn. She had to put out food for the barn cat and make sure it was back in the barn at night. The dogs were outside on a leash for part of the day. She fed them twice a day inside and had to give the one dog medicine in the morning. As you have read, Diane is an animal lover. She should have been a veterinarian. We have been without a pet. Now that we have the time to travel, since we retired, she would like to provide her love to other family’s pets. Diane is the perfect person for a family looking to take care of their pet(s). They will not find a better person to love or care for their pet(s).”
