“Kelly was very patient and professional with my sweet girl, Stella! Stella is shy and can be alittle defensive at first but Kelly took time to let Stella warm up before counting her out. I highly recommend Kelly for your dog sitting needs!”
“Kerri and Harry were very helpful. They gave our cat medication, food and water. They changed the litter box and brought in a package for us. We also had a nice meet and greet before the pet visits. I recommend them for your pet care.”
“Stephanie did an excellent job with Molly, even giving her a bit more exercise than we had requested. We will ask for her again if we have to leave Molly for an extra long day. Very pleased!”
“This was my first time going on a long trip and leaving my three babies with a "stranger". I was apprehensive to say the little least, but once I met Josh, I knew things would be OK and I was right. From the start, he communicated regularly, shared photos and stories, and even gave my three kids little nicknames. He was soon Uncle Josh and a stranger no more! If I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would! For any and all upcoming trips, Josh is our guy. You can tell how much he loves what he does!”
“Shirley has been an amazing help with my dog Tucker. He sadly passed unexpectedly on Oct 29th.. which is the only reason I’m not using Shirley any longer. I would recommend her to anyone i know!”
“Amazing. She went above and beyond for me. The weekend I was away there was an open house at my home and she made sure everything was clean and tidy!”
“Peggy was absolutely amazing! It was such a blessing finding someone that cared for our Golden as much as she did. She went above and beyond what I expected her to do. Was always on time and spent quality time with our dog. After every visit we received many pictures of just how active and happy our dog was while we were gone. We will continue to use Peggy over and over for any other vacation that we plan on the future!”
“Olivia followed our directions exactly and was very responsive and communicative. We have never used Rover and it was a great first experience. We will definitely use Olivia again!”
“Emily is amazing with our toddler German shepherd! He always enjoys his time with her and she is always professional and goes above and beyond. Super happy and comfortable with her taking care of our boy!”
“Kristen was so great. She sent us pics everyday and went above and beyond by playing with our cats everyday. She even managed to get our shy scaredy cat to come out and say hi! Would definitely recommend to anyone needing help while they're away. ?”
About: My parents never owned a dog, but I have always dreamed of owning one myself. Until that day comes, I love to help take care of others. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from a senior dog to a young puppy. I am currently a Kutztown University college student who is home during the summer. I am looking for animals to fill my schedule and my heart. I go back to school on August 21st, 2025. I have grown up in a household with 3+ cats. I am a quiet person who has a knack for making animals feel comfortable in my presence. I love when they keep me company as I work. I dabble in pet photography and would love to expand my portfolio!
“Sam is great. I have a three year old Shepard mix and a four month old boxer mix. The three year old is cautious with strangers and takes a bit to warm up. It took Holly no time to warm up to Sam and the puppy immediately loved her. I am so happy to have found Sam and know my pups are in great hands. I also have two cats and know they will be cared for if the need arises. Thank you!!!!”
“Jessica has been doing recurring drop in visits for boy. Can't recommend her enough! She is great with him. Very responsive and flexible with time if change is needed. She always gives great updates for each visit. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I've had animals since I was born. My pets have literally kept me going in the hardest times, so I've vowed to connect with an many animals as I can. Let me meet your pets! I have a full-time job and I work from home. My hours are 8:30-5:30 Mon-Thurs, and 8:30-12:30 on Fridays. I can care for animals during my lunch break or in the evening. I'm also free on the weekends (as long as I don't have plans). I will feed and play with your animals. If you have dogs, I can either let them out or walk them. If absolutely necessary, I will scoop cat litter. I will do all of this in your home. My dog isn't friendly, so I can't bring any animals into my house.

“Gabriella took very good care of my cat, she’s amazing!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a preteen, and I’ve learned many tricks that help make pet sitting run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I’m currently working part-time and doing summer college coursework, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and any of their needs! I always work with a client’s requests when taking care of their pets! I can easily leash or crate dogs, and I am great with leaving any home secured properly so pets can’t get out.
