“Jenny is amazing. Made me feel at ease from the first meet through the first week of daycare. She is flexible and helped me with all the transitions of a new sitter while starting a new job. Dog daycare was the least of my worries thanks to Jenny. Jaxx got everything he needed while I worked. Definitely recommend Jenny.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and it’s more than just a job—it’s my passion. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I treat every pup like they’re my own, providing not only safety and structure, but also love, attention, and plenty of playtime. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach and deep understanding of dog behavior—I know when it’s time to be silly and when it’s time to soothe. Whether it’s daycare or an extended stay, your dog will be in caring, capable hands with me. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs. I’m in the office a couple days a week, but I can adjust those days as needed to ensure your pup gets the care and attention they deserve. In my home, your dog will be treated like one of the family. I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, an energetic 2 year old and a gentle 8 year old, who love to play and welcome new friends. We have a spacious, fenced in yard perfect for outdoor fun. I follow your dog’s feeding schedule and provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and calm evenings to ensure they feel happy, safe, and ready for a good night’s sleep.
“My pup recently stayed for Doggie Day Care at Holly’s. I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Holly is a true animal lover who treated my dog like her own. My dog got along great with Holly’s dog and she came home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Holly as a caring dog sitter!!”
“Melisha took good care of Kenai and tired him out, which is a very good thing. He was happy and didn't really want to leave. She took his high energy in stride, and I especially appreciate her taking him on at the last minute as it was kind of an emergency.”
“Alexandra and Robert were really wonderful pet sitters. I was in town to go to hershey park and i needed someone to watch my puppy while we spent the day at the park. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog got along well with mine so I knew Aikido would be happy. I got pictures while I was away and was very pleased with him in their care. I would recommend them highly as pet sitters! Aikido slept SO long after his play date - overall, 10/10!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and they are truly a blessing to the world. I have experience with big and small dogs. I have trained my own puppy as well as my childhood animals. I am currently working full time and can provide evening care for second shift workers during the week. I can provide morning-evening care during the weekends as those are my days off. I live in a small apartment so traveling to your home to see your baby is a must. I want your baby to feel comfortable in their own home as well!
“Kelly did a great job communicating with both me and my boyfriend, sending us both pictures of the doggos during their stay. They had a great time and we’ll definitely be utilizing Kelly’s services again!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others for over 25 years. Our current house includes 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have a lab, golden and corgi. I also welcome foster animals into our home when i can. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have flexibility to visit multiple times a day or host in my own home. My dogs are very friendly with others and welcome new friends and people. I do have an electric fence but am happy to keep dogs on the leash to go outside. I am happy to crate if needed for your dog. I keep extra crates in my home to use.
About: Loving Pet Sitting Where Your Dog Feels Like Family In my home, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I raised two of my own from just eight weeks old, and they were by my side through every day. From puppy training to creating calm, happy routines, I’ve always believed in making animals feel safe, loved, and completely part of the home. When your dog stays with me, they’re welcomed like one of my own: • Kind, loving care — They’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, just like any family dog deserves. • Gentle training support — I naturally reinforce good manners and calm behavior through kindness, patience, and positive reinforcement. • Comfortable, home-style routine — Whether it’s playing in the large fenced yard, mealtime, or cozy downtime, I keep your dog on a routine that makes them feel right at home. • Peaceful, cozy environment — I create a calm, loving space where your dog can relax, feel safe, and be treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for pet care that feels like home, where your dog is truly cared for and loved, I’d be happy to welcome them in. I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for walks, playtime, and lots of attention—your dog will never feel left alone or forgotten, just like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first in my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with cozy spots for rest and space for relaxed play. We have a fully accessible, quarter-acre yard (.25 acre) for safe, supervised outdoor time—perfect for fresh air, sniffing, and play breaks. I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have regular potty breaks, walks, attention, and companionship. I follow your dog’s routine and any special instructions closely, making sure they feel settled, comfortable, and cared for. I keep my care small and personal—your dog will never be lost in a crowd, and you’ll receive regular updates for peace of mind. Here, your dog will be safe, happy, and loved just like they are at home.
About: I’ve always had dogs around and love them!! I have experience with fosters, training, seniors, grooming and have some vet tech training. I also own one little pup right now! Would love to have pet care as my fulltime hustle, I’m looking forward to building my client base and serving their needs to the best of my ability! I live in an apartment complex that is very quiet and has a great walking community with play yards and other pups to play with if desired!
About: We have always had dogs growing up and I am very confident and comfortable with any type of dog; I have a true love for them! I am a stay-at-home Mom so I have a very flexible schedule! As long as I can walk my kids with your dog(s), we will get along just great! I treat EVERY clients pet as if it were my own and will respect the clients wishes as to how they want their pet cared for.
About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember, from helping train them to giving them a bath n everything in-between. I do have work almost everyday, other then being with my animals lol! Its easier for me, for the morning but will always figure out something if needed in the afternoon Animals are part of the family even if it's our animals or yours. My yard is fenced in its not big, if you give me a list or instructions I'll follow them to the max. The safety of your home n animals and their health is most important.
About: I have little experience professionally working with animals but I have lots of experience living with them and pet sitting for all the neighborhood pets. I have a Newfie of my own and he is a lot to handle but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Dogs have always been my favorite pet, from the first time I played with my Mom Mom and Pop Pop's hound Bo, to my parents rescue Sadie, I've fallen head over heels with their ability to bond with us. I would be delighted to watch and take care of your fur babies and I hope you choose me to love and take care of them when you can't :) This is the perfect side job as I work full time remotely and am able to make my own schedule. I can usually take my lunch whenever but 12pm is the best time for me to take a break. I never leave my pup Brooks home alone for more than 6 hours and play with him in my backyard multiple times daily. We go to the dog park every other week and take him to daycare so he can play with his friends as much as I can take him. He eats twice a day with snacks in between. I feed him Hills Large Breed with Cosequin, flax/chia seeds and pumpkin purée. He eats better than I do!

Parker had a blast with Ryan’s two sweet golden retrievers, who brought out his playful side in the best way. Ryan kept in touch with regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I could tell Parker was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and experienced sitter.

Haley S.
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Haley when it comes to caring for animals. I’ve never met anyone who connects with pets the way she does. It’s not just that she loves animals—she truly lives for them. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or even an older pet with special needs, Haley gives each one her full attention, patience, and care. She sees every pet as an individual with their own personality and needs, and she treats them all with a kind of respect and love that’s incredibly rare. What amazes me most is how animals respond to her. Even the most timid or anxious pets seem to relax around her, like they instinctively know they’re in safe hands. I’ve seen it happen more than once—Haley walks into the room and suddenly the energy changes. She speaks to animals with such gentleness, and she always makes sure they feel seen, heard, and comfortable. As a pet sitter, Haley goes above and beyond. She’s never just “watching” your pet—she’s spending quality time with them, making sure they’re mentally stimulated, emotionally supported, and physically cared for. She keeps everything clean and organized, follows care instructions to the letter, and always gives updates so you never have to worry while you’re away. But what really stands out is her heart. Haley is one of the kindest, most genuine people I know. She puts animals first—not just because it’s her job, but because it’s who she is. If you’re lucky enough to have Haley take care of your pet, you can rest easy knowing they’re in the best hands possible. She’s truly one of a kind.”

She has owned many dogs herself and has experience with several different breeds. She has also fostered many times and really does a great job getting foster dogs ready for their forever homes. You won’t find a more capable caregiver for your beloved pets!”
Stephanie S.
“Stephanie watched my dog for a week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, sent pics, and treated my pup like her own. I came home to a happy, doggy! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”
