Very friendly with both us and our pets! Took lots of photos, which made us feel secure about how things were going while we were away. Would definitely recommend and request again!

Samantha genuinely loves animals and it shows, she uses the ‘dog mom voice’, she gets down at my dog’s level to play, and is so careful about health quirks. I would recommend her to anyone with a pet looking for a sitter!

About: I’m a lifelong lover of all animals who has been surrounded by pets for as long as i remember. Growing up and caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and smaller animals has always brought me joy and experience. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends. I am happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet receives the attention and exercise they deserve. While I am new to pet sitting professionally, I have grown up around pets and understand the importance of providing a safe, caring, and comfortable environment. I will carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special needs.

Anna was a wonderful gift to caring for my senior dog. She came over on an additional day, just to learn about all of the complexities involved. She corresponded well with me while I was on the other side of the country. It helped keep my anxiety over my beloved pet way down! Anna is professional and detail oriented, and I would gladly hire her again.

About: I’ve taken care of and trained my golden doodle Winnie who is currently 7 years old. Winnie is a loving and affectionate dog, who has some reactive and past aggressive behaviors due to her original home. Because of this, I have become very familiar with reactivity in dogs and have worked with her throughout her life with the help of some trainers to tackle these behaviors. With proper communication and transparency, I feel confident working with dogs with difficult behaviors. I also have a 15 year old yorkie, so I understand how to care for our old companions! Over the summer, I am normally done with work around noon and have the afternoons and evenings free. I am also pretty available during the weekend. I am able to be more flexible if discussed in advance! Available to care for pets inside your own home and will walk dogs in neighboring areas. At this time, I do not plan on caring for pets inside my own home.

Mae did an amazing job stopping by to watch our dog Theo! She was reliable, caring, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure Theo got plenty of attention and care during her visit. We’d definitely have Mae watch Theo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Did an awesome job! Got our Sheltie, who when we’re gone for more than a day, wants nothing more than to sink into depression and do nothing, to go outside and play a little bit. Our menagerie of kitties were in good hands, and she followed directions well. Would definitely use her services again!

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

About: I've dog sat, walked, and let out little dogs to Great Danes(he was quite the bed hog!). I'm happy to give your dog the love and attention they need while you're away! I have experience with "hard" to walk dogs and am comfortable handling them. Tug of war, fetch, wrestle or belly rub I'm down to play! Of course if it's just snuggles your dog needs I'm happy to oblige. I have experince with senior dogs and puppies and am comfortable giving oral medications. I'm a professional photographer as my main career and you may end up with some quality photos of your furry friend when you come home! I'd love to talk about your pet sitting needs. Shoot me a message, I'd love to hear about your furbaby.

She even got my German shepherd to eat a little which he never does when I’m not there! I would definitely recommend her if you need a drop in visit!

About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.

Jena has been a saving grace this last week with my fur babies. She took the job with short notice and without even meeting us. She has gone above and beyond, even dealing with a grouchy old dachshund and trimming nails of our puppy! Highly recommend.

Very short notice, Elizabeth was able to come to my aid with my 2 dogs. She did everything exactly as she promised, and then some. My one dog was too afraid of her, which is not Elizabeth's fault, it was my woosie dog. She was great and I appreciate what she did for me.

Carrie has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They’re still adjusting to spending part of the day in their kennels again and can be a little unsure of new people coming into the home, but she’s been incredibly patient, flexible, and reliable throughout the process. I truly appreciate the care and understanding she shows them, and it gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and already have several more bookings scheduled!

Will was great with our dog! She was a recent rescue and very suspicious of new people. Will gave her some space, was patient and kind and they soon became best buds! We were gone for 10 days and he sent pictures every day - which gave us peace of mind that she was thriving and happy while we were gone. Will is also very dependable and came 2X every day to give her a break and to exercise her (while our dog sitter was at work). I would certainly recommend him and will definitely be calling on him again.
