About: Hello! My name is Mary Beth and I live in Palmerton, PA with my husband Adam and our two sons, age 10 and 13. I have had a love of dogs since I was a child. I grew up with a Shih Tzu while my husband grew up with a Greyhound. We got married and found our first furry child, Opie, a Boston Terrier who has since passed away. Currently, we have a 2 year old lab/shepherd mix named River. He is dog friendly and loves to play. He looks forward to our daily 3 mile walk. We would love to care for your furry friend while you are away. Our home is now your pets home. We have a large yard that is not fenced in to play in. If your dog loves fetch, fetch we will play. If your dog loves walks, walks it is! We are here to love and care for your dog like they are our own. If you would like, I can send you frequent updates and pictures while your pup enjoys his/her vacation! We are here to makes this as relaxed and stress free as possible! Let us love your dog! My husband and I work full time so weekdays are not the best for us. There is a chance we can make it work. We are available starting Friday afternoon and all day on the weekends to spend the whole day with your pup! We have a friendly dog, RIver who would love to keep your dog company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we have a long line to keep your furry friend safe. If you normally crate your dog, no problem. Bring your crate and will set up their safe area for them. Dogs are fed separately. Positive reinforcement used Any questions, please ask! We are here to help! If we are available to watch your pet, we make sure they are under supervision all of the time. Keeping your pup comfortable and happy is a priority. Dogs are played with and walked through out the day. Let us know your dogs favorite activity and we will make sure that happens. They are well loved and made to feel part of our family.

“Laura always takes the best care of our coco. We are so happy to have her as our go to dog sitter, especially when we are traveling out of town for multiple days at a time! Thanks again for your flexibility Laura!”



“Goose had the time of her life. Made friends with another dog, a cat, and a pig named Penny! Deanna was awesome and gave us updates everyday with photos. She made my first time using Rover a great one! She made us feel comfortable and Goose was in very good hands!”


“My experience with Mike and Perla was amazing! They had a super fast response time when I initially put in the request. We did a meet and greet the next day where Mike explained everything in detail and answered any questions that I had. My dog tends to be very shy at first, but he warmed up to Mike very quickly! The overnight stay was successful and I was kept up to date with photos and videos. It absolutely helped put my mind at ease. I would love to utilize Mike and Perla’s services again for my pup. I know he was in great experienced hands. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. Looking forward to having him visit again! 😊”


“Chelsea was awesome with our pup! Regular photos and communication. I know our pooch was in the best of hands, she even came home with a cute little goody bag. We will definitely be booking with Chelsea again in the future! ?”


“Katherine did an amazing job of watching our dog while we were out of state. Her frequent updates and communication really put us at ease while being away and our dog was very well taken care of! Highly recommend Katherine!”


“Wonderful personality and Goodwill. Treated my son (Pomeranian) like family. Followed my feeding and caring for him instructions. He adapted very quickly. Will use her again. Thanks again Tracey.”


“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”


“We are so lucky to have found Jessica to watch our dog while on a trip this summer. The pictures and updates were appreciated and it was clear our dog was also enjoying a vacation of her own!”


“David was amazing! If you’re a nervous cat mommy like me, don’t worry at all. My baby was so well taken care of, and David sent a ton of updates and pictures while I was away which all pet parents love lol. 10/10, and @David I will be seeing you soon!”


About: I spent my youth training to be a vet and fostering dogs. I learned a lot at vet school, namely that I couldn't ever deliver the final act of compassion. So, I turned my attention to my true passion - caring for dogs! I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and I love it. Every new dog that I meet reminds me how much I love dogs. I am flexible to the needs of every dog I care for and will make their experience with me as similar to their home life as possible. I have two dogs of my own, but they LOVE meeting new dogs to play with. If your dog is not as keen to new friendships, I can separate them all with ease. I have only one hard line, I need to meet you and your dog before the stay. I have learned that it is the best way to ensure your dog's comfort in their stay. I did not always adhere to this and I have seen some very stressed out fur babies. I want your fur pups happy and healthy as much as you do! Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so, I will be with your dogs all day. If we have any grocery trips or daycare drop offs, they will be crated for those brief periods. We keep our dog-less activities to a minimum during pet stays. We have no fence and our dogs run off-leash. With your dogs, I will walk them leashed because dogs (like children) test boundaries. We also go to creeks and hikes very often, and your dogs will join us leashed (if you approve).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat my whole life. I am a college student and work full time during the week, but I am available every weekend to pet sit! Pet care fits into my weekend routine. I am off every weekend and I am looking for a job on the side of my full time job to help pay for college I have a cat of my own, and she has plenty of toys and litter boxes, she has cat towers and wall climbing steps! We have a bay window for cats. And I have a small dog who is now on the road with my mom traveling! So we have dog toys and dog beds for the doggos! We have a very nice and quiet neighborhood, perfect for leashed walks and I have a zip line out back to let’s the dogs run and go potty.

“Johanny was so nice & welcomed me into her beautiful home. Was definitely a pleasure to meet her and to take good care of my little Coco. She sent me pictures & updates on how Coco was doing. I recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need to.”


“We, like most pet owners I am sure, were very hesitant to leave our crazy dog with a stranger. Unfortunately A family emergency left us no choice. Once we decided to commit we did a meet n greet with Emanuel (Manny). Emanuel’s love for our four legged animals was apparent from the first meet. During the course of our time away we were given updates and photos of our happy dog. We just picked him up and he was well cared for. We are grateful that should the need to board our Wiley we have a contact that we, including Wiley, can trust.”

Mary Beth Z.

“I have known Mary Beth for nearly 40 years. We grew up together, attended elementary through high school together, and have been the best of friends ever since. Mary Beth has always been a very caring person; she often goes out of her way to help others. This has definitely carried over to her pet-mom skills. She loves her animals and always makes sure they are well taken care of. She is extremely attentive. I have no doubt in my mind that she will make an EXCELLENT pet caregiver. I would trust her with my pets, and I'm the most overprotective dog-mom there is!”
