“Cailah was fantastic. There was really nothing more we could have asked of her- she was professional, kind, responsible, punctual, energetic, and personable. She took care of our dog for 1 1/2 weeks while we were traveling by feeding, letting her out and walking her each morning. We got a written report along with pictures each day right after her visit. It was so reassuring for me to wake up each morning (due to the time change where we were) and see the report and pictures and know that not only was our dog okay she was happy! Thank you Cailah!!”


About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in obedience and service dogs and have been for over a year. I currently have 2 dogs(a lab and a corso mix). I dog sit on a regular basis for a border collie breeder and show handler in williamsport, PA. I have absolutely no breed preference. I work flexible hours where I can take care of your pets throughout the day based on their normal schedules for potty breaks and feeding I have puppy gates at each doorway. A gate by my front door. The yard is unfenced but I do keep 30 ft runner lines on hand and have a very friendly lab in the house. There is a seperate bedroom that had been puppy proofed for those who dont want to play as much.

“Chris has been so good with our dogs. He always shows up on time with our crazy schedule. Me and my husband work different days and nights and weekends. Chris has been so accommodating. He definitely communicates well with us.”


About: I have a passion and love for animals. I have pets of my own that are all rescued. If you are looking for a loving, clean, safe environment, with some furfriends to socialize with while you are away! While it may seem like a logical idea, boarding your dog in a traditional kennel while you're away may do more harm than good. Dogs left in the kennel often go through undue anxiety, physical issues, and behavioral changes associated with feelings of abandonment. They will he well cared for and spoiled here in my home. I am retired and home to care for my pets and yours. I have senior pets with special needs that I care for daily with medical needs. I have a fenced in half an acre yard. My pets are safe in my home, as well as outside for potty breaks. I have dog beds, food, water pools, a baby pool to cool off and play.

Nija H.
“I had a family emergency out of state and needed someone to sit with my furry family member, Beemer. I used Nija to walk him previously and she told me if I ever needed a sitter, let her know. I called her frantic and she was accommodating to my request! I gave her the option to stay at my apartment or take him to her home; she opted to take him to hers. Throughout the week I was away, Nija sent me random pictures and short videos of Beemer playing, resting and simply just having fun being away. She said at first he seemed anxious but after a few hours, he seemed more relaxed and played with her doggie. We have used Nija's services on a frequent basis and she is a trust worthy person with my precious little one!”


Kayla G.
“Kayla took care of my two cats while I was away and she did an AMAZING job!! I was very detailed with the instructions, but she read through it all and did everything as instructed.

Gabbi was absolutely wonderful. My dog Sam is getting older, and walking him requires patience, and Gabbi more than met the requirements. She checked in every day while I was on vacation and made it clear how much she cared for Sam. I will be hiring her again for all future walks.
