“AMAZING ! my fur baby had so much fun. He almost didn’t even wanna leave. Also was such a last-minute booking on my end. Very thankful that you guys were able to accept if I could rate 10 stars I would will be rebooking !!”


“Elizabeth was very responsive to my last minute request for daycare. I could tell Biscuit had a nice time and loved Elizabeth! I appreciated the pictures especially since this was my time using Rover, and Elizabeth. Super convenient!”


“Tamara is such a wonderful sitter! Anyone who meets her immediately can see her love and passion for our fur friends! I am so glad I found her for little man Milo. Her caring and understanding approach is exactly what he needed. Thank you Tamara!”


“Always great to leave Marshall with Steffany and her family! They send pictures and updates throughout the day and Marshall has a great time with their dog Padme.”


“Sandy is great with my puppy! He is very high energy and I work long shifts but she makes sure he gets plenty of exercise so that he is tired when I pick him up. I am happy to have found her :)”


“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”


“Rosa and her daughters took very good care of our puppy, Rosie during our stay in the Harrisburg area when we took a day trip to Hershey Park. She was very good at communicating to us throughout the day by sending lots of photos and videos of our pup! 10/10 recommend and will 100% use again whenever I am in the area and need a dog sitter. Thank you again for everything, we appreciate you and your care greatly!! Happy 4th of July!”


“Kasandra went well above and beyond caring for my pup, Faith. This was Faith’s first time a daycare, and she’s pretty nervous. Kasandra took great care of her, and provided updates throughout the day. I will be requesting her services again in the near future.”


About: We are a family of pet lovers. We have three cats and a dog. I've been responsible for caring for pets since I was little and have always really enjoyed the company of animals and getting to know each individual personality. During my teens and early 20's I did a lot of house and pet sitting for friends and family who have described me as very responsible, caring, reliable and trustworthy. I am a photographer and work from home. Over weekends and in the evening my wife is also available to assists with taking care of your fur baby/babies. My latest available pick-up/drop-off time is between 7-8PM. I have a small fenced yard and a large home. Our home has three cats and one dog. We also have a sun room where "private dining" is an option for your pet, if needed.

About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

About: I speak fluent 'large breed' – from Great Dane drama to Mastiff moodiness, I've been bilingual in Big Dog for decades. My credentials? A lifetime degree from the University of Oversized Paws, currently pursuing my Master's with Gemma, my 100-pound Husky/Akita mix who doubles as my quality control manager. She's basically my co-interviewer – if your pup passes the Gemma Test, they're golden. I get that XL dogs aren't just bigger – they're different. They need someone who understands that a 'small' accident involves industrial-grade cleanup, that counter-surfing is an Olympic sport, and that their idea of a lap dog is... optimistic. My setup? Spacious home with a 6-foot privacy fence (because nobody wants their Saint Bernard becoming the neighborhood's unwanted visitor), plus plenty of indoor space for those inevitable zoomies. Even Rogue, my 13-year-old cat, has made peace with the chaos – she just upgraded to executive suite living upstairs. Bottom line: Your gentle giant won't be treated like a small dog who hit the gym. They'll get the specialized, size-appropriate care they deserve – and the belly rubs that require actual arm strength. Pet care doesn't fit into our routine – it IS our routine. We're basically a 24/7 doggy daycare masquerading as a normal household. I work from home (translation: I'm the treat dispenser with Wi-Fi), and my husband is home full-time (aka Chief Belly Rub Officer and Emergency Ball Thrower). Your pup will have round-the-clock supervision from two certified couch potatoes who've perfected the art of simultaneous laptop typing and ear scratching. We're like helicopter parents, but for dogs – and with better snacks. No 'checking in every few hours' situation here. We're the couple who probably talks to dogs more than humans on most days, and honestly? We're not mad about it. Basically, your dog won't just be staying with us – they'll be joining our very committed, very ridiculous pack where someone's always available for the important stuff: immediate attention when a leaf moves suspiciously, emergency treat distribution, and professional-grade 'who's a good dog?' consultations. Safety first, fun second, existential crisis about how much we love your dog third. Our home operates on the 'Fort Knox meets Disneyland' principle – maximum security with maximum fun. That 6-foot privacy fence isn't just for show; it's our version of a velvet rope at an exclusive club where only the goodest boys and girls get VIP access. House rules are simple: gates stay locked (we're not running a doggy escape room), fresh water is always available (hydration is key to optimal zoomies), and Gemma serves as our live-in safety inspector – she's got a PhD in 'Is This New Friend Sketchy?' For boarding guests, sleeping arrangements include premium couch real estate or our actual bed (because let's be honest, you're not keeping a Great Pyrenees on a dog bed). Climate-controlled comfort year-round, with immediate access to emergency cuddles and 3 AM 'did you hear that?' investigations. We're basically helicopter parents who've extended our neuroses to include your dog. Every door gets double-checked, every interaction gets supervised, and yes, we absolutely will send you way too many photos of your pup doing absolutely nothing newsworthy. Think of us as your dog's personal secret service – vigilant, dedicated, and probably overthinking everything.

“Such a great sitter ! Maverick enjoyed spending time with her, and she kept me updated from the start of the day till the end. She was also very accommodating with my early start work day which is a huge plus for me. Maverick was ready to go to bed when we got back to the house. She also made sure that she understood all of his needs during our meet and greet,”


“Sneha and her family were kind, upbeat and energetic. They have a beautiful home and backyard, and relatively convenient. There were other dogs there, but they were sensitive to how Sunny responded. It was a short visit, but we will definitely come back to the V Family when we visit H-burg again.”


“Brooke was very kind. She was willing to take on our puppy and at short notice. She had a lot of availability. Franklin loved playing at her house he didn’t ever want to leave! I highly recommend!”


About: My husband and I make a great team when it comes to your furry friends . Your pup isn’t just boarded; they become part of our home. With cozy spaces, plenty of playtime, and individualized attention, we ensure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed. I follow your dog’s schedule as closely as possible—whether it’s meal times, walks, or bedtime rituals—so they feel right at home. Unlike standard sitters, I incorporate mental stimulation, obedience reinforcement, and socialization into their stay, keeping them engaged and well-behaved. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine. It probably includes but not limited to : Daily Routine: • Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, walks, and light training or playtime. • Midday: Client check-ins, training sessions, or socialization activities for boarding dogs. • Afternoon: More exercise, enrichment, and cleaning up (kennels, play areas). • Evening: Dinner, relaxation, last potty breaks, and bedtime routine. Weekly Routine: • Grooming & Maintenance: Bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. • Deep Cleaning: Washing bedding, sanitizing play areas, and refreshing supplies. • Client Management: Updating bookings, sending reports or photos to pet parents, and restocking essentials like treats and poop bags. The top three things I provide are : safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. These are top priorities when caring for pets, in my home. Here’s how I ensure every dog feels secure, loved, and well-cared for: 1. Safety First • Secure Spaces: My home is dog-proofed with fenced play areas and crate options for safe rest. • Supervised Play: I monitor all interactions to prevent rough play or stress. 2. Building Trust • Consistent Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain set feeding, potty, and exercise schedules. • Positive Reinforcement: I use rewards, praise, and patience to make each dog feel comfortable. • Regular Updates: I send owners pictures and updates to keep them reassured. 3. A Comfortable, Enriching Environment • Cozy & Clean Spaces: Whether at my home or a client’s, I ensure dogs have clean, comfy resting areas. • Mental & Physical Stimulation: I incorporate training, interactive toys, and daily exercise to keep dogs happy. Dogs MUST be leash trained and crate trained as I use crates as a precautionary measure and/or bedtime purposes .No Exceptions!!!!
