About: Hi, my name is Erika! I have always had dogs since I was a little girl. Mostly large breeds like akitas and Rottweilers to pitbull and boxers, but we also had a min pin named junior. I’m more a dog-person, but I love all animals. I went through the puppy school & the training process with my dog Remy after rescuing her from a shelter in south Florida 7yrs ago, but I unfortunately had to leave her in Boston with family when I moved to PA and miss her so much :( i recently adopted a bulldog mix puppy named Bella! She’s been a great addition to our little family.. shes only been exposed to 1 other dog as she’s only a couple months old.. but she did great!

Willing to work with client needs as far as hygiene (bathing/nails/teeth) depending on the dog behavior & schedule flexibility. Pets are family in my home! But of course I would follow whatever rules you have set for your babies in your home! Let me know if there are any special needs, medications, feeding schedules that I should follow to give your fur baby the best care that I possibly can!


“Ellen did a great job watching our dogs for 5 nights, one of which has sever separation anxiety. She sent daily updates and pictures, which really helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were happy. She also took great care of the house. She went above and beyond keeping the house picked up and sheets washed. Would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“Annalize is a great provider who demonstrates compassionate care for animals. We left three dogs, two cats, two chinchillas in her care for the weekend. One of the dogs is very elderly and needs a lot of hands on care. Annalize brought it, and kept everyone cool, comfy, fed, and happy. I would recommend her highly.”


About: Experienced, loving and compassionate pet caregiver, sitter and dog dad. I am a passionate animal lover with 20+ years of pet care experience. I have had two 125+ lbs Rottweilers, 110 lb Giant Schnauzer, 20 lb Cocker Spaniel, a 45 lb Pit Bull, a 65 lb Pitbull, and a 100 lb Red Nose Pitpull. Usually at least 2 at a time. I have cared for all other types and sizes as well, from a 20lb Cockapoo to 100 lb Labradors and Retrievers. I can provide dog walking, overnight stays, and drop-in visits. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pets. Let's connect and give your furry baby as much care and attention while in my care as you would give them. The money is nice, but I do this for the love of animals. Your Pet's Safety & Happiness is My Top Priority I do remote work from home during the day, and a part time job a couple of times a week. This leaves me with almost all day everyday to be able to spend time playing and caring for your loved ones. You dog will be kept company and engaged by me all day. I make sure to combine mind stimulating and enriching games and play with a good bit of exercise. I let them dictate the time and activity for the most part, but will also look to engage them if they are sedentary. So they decide if it is tug of war, fetch, or sniffing out kibble I spread throughout the yard.

About: I have two cats of my very own in addition to having had childhood dogs prior as well. I’m an absolute animal lover! In addition, I have pet sat cats as well as other dogs which required walks and play time. I don't mind getting my hands dirty for cleaning the litter box or cleaning up after dogs! I’m available for boarding or home sitting especially during weekends if you need a getaway. I’m also able to provide walks, play time and feeding. I can feed pets based on their internal schedule, take dogs out for at least 30 minute walks, play-time to tucker out the pups or cats, hide medications in pill pockets or mixed with food or administer directly.

About: I have been caring for animals as long as I can remember, starting with my own dog, rabbits, and exotic animals. I took on the responsibility of feeding, grooming, and exercising our pets, ensuring they were happy and healthy. Through prior dog sitting experience for family and friends, I have learned to handle various breeds and temperaments. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. :) As of now, I have open availability. Please contact me to discuss your pet care needs, and I will do my best to accommodate them. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets above all else. I treat every animal I look after as if they were my own pets.

“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Absolutely perfect person to care for your pet(s) and/or home. All the buzz words apply. Dependable. Caring. Trustworthy. Super care of our home. So comforting to walk into a clean house and love on a happy dog. Even took our trash cans to curb. You can’t go wrong with Austin and Jarris.”


About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Currently have 2 Coton De Tulears plus four alpacas, three bee hives, and over 125 birds (poultry). I work remote so my schedule is flexible. Prefer to be able to coordinate directly to ensure the best care for your pets. I’m very flexible. I’m a big fan of treating pets like they’re my own. I demand the highest levels of care for my animals and will certainly do the same for yours!

About: Hello, my name is Brielle! I’ve had pets all my life I can take care of cats or dogs or both! Any age pet welcome! I work in state college from 5AM-1:30PM. I’m available in the evenings from 2-7. I’m pretty flexible on what I can help out with and I can have a set schedule. I talk to the pet owner. They give me a plan to follow and they tell me what is needed. I meet the pet and follow the list

About: I graduated from college nearly 2 years ago and have been working at United Way of York County in various positions. I have always had a love for animals and currently have 3 fur babies of my own. I have experience owning and working with birds, reptiles, amphibians, cats, and large dog breeds as I have worked in aquariums, Vivariums, and owned over 11 reptiles. I have experience administering medication as well as geriatric dogs. I work from home most of the time, and have a very flexible schedule. I am happy to work with you on price depending on the service, but I do ask that we do introductions before we book services so we can all get acquainted. Please reach out if you have any questions. Mornjngs always start with going potty and then their meds. If I’m working from home we try to go on walks or play in the yard. My dogs go on at least 1 walk a day, depending on the weather but they are allowed in the yard whenever they want with supervision. Meals are usually in the evening, but because I have older dogs we frequently have to adjust feeds. Evenings are for walks, playing outside, treats, grooming (brushing, paw cleaning, meds, etc.) and night time cuddles. I have a fenced yard, 2 big fur babies and one little yorkie, I have crates in case we need them, and the dogs are free roam apart from rooms that are closed. I work from home a lot so the animals are supervised the majority of the day.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

12. Ruben Z.
“I dropped-off my Golden Retriever puppy, Charlie, to be watched by Ruben on a number of occasions. The drop-off was easy and hassle free. My dog immediately felt comfortable with Ruben and was on his way to have a great day of play and fun as well as a bit of much needed training. Ruben is professional, polite, and very knowledgeable about dogs, especially large breeds. Ruben gave me great advice on training and nutrition for my Charlie. I cannot recommend Ruben highly enough. He is an all around great guy and he loves animals. I would trust him with my beloved furry son for weeks. Charlie can't wait to go back and play another day at Ruben's!”


13. Christine R.
“Christine has been taking care of so many pets for well over 10 years. Her love and passion for so many puts, even my anxious dog with separation anxiety, at ease. I know Benji, my Shih Tzu, is in good hands whenever I have to leave him for an extended vacation where I am unable to take him with me.”


14. Katherine H.
“Kathrine took great care of my dog Goody! Goody is the cutest black lab in the world but he can get snippy at time due to his arthritis. It was hard to find someone that can handle him, so I was head over heels when I saw how well Kathrine takes care of him. She always goes the extra mile to make sure Goody is the happiest little boy on earth. She is always gives him walks and takes care of him when I'm out of town. I know Goody is in good hands when I leave him with Kathrine. I had to go down to Louisiana for three weeks and she took care of him for the entire three weeks. She truly treats him as her own. There is no other pet sitter I would recommend.”
