“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Libby was great! She gave frequent updates on how our pup was doing and took great care of him! She left the house tidy and was always very responsive! We will definitely use her again!”
“This was the first time our two older golden retrievers had stayed with a pet sitter that was not either part of the family or a close friend. Lori handled them very well, even though one was quite stubborn for her. She texted me daily pics and was great to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Paul was great! He arrived on time, communicated throughout the weekend, and took wonderful care of my two dogs. The dogs were very happy, well cared for, and enjoyed lots of play time. I look forward to using him again in the near future!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our senior, sometimes ornery pup. She was very patient and accommodating and communicated often with updates. We will definitely be using her again.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Annie as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our high-energy, anxious pup, and we could tell from the start that our dog felt safe and loved in her care. Annie was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending us tons of updates, messages, and pictures, which made us feel at ease the entire time. It was clear she went above and beyond to ensure our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Keerthi was awesome. They were responsive. Our pups were happy when we got back and our house was cleaner than we left it!. We got pics and updates and they gave our dogs Lots of love and attention. We even have an older special-needs dog that they did a great job making sure meds and care was given. Definitely recommend and will absolutely use them again! Thank you.!”
“Mary was spectacular while sitting for our dog, Holly, overnight in our home while we were away. It was a short trip but she kept us updated constantly with photos and messages detailing how much she ate, her activity level, mood, and bathroom activity. Mary was punctual, so polite and pleasant to speak with, and extremely professional. You can tell she takes her job caring for animals very seriously. I would 100% recommend Mary and definitely plan to book with her again the next time we’re away.”
About: Hi there! My name is Olivia. I Am a pet mom of 3 to my fur children. I am 29 years old from Coatesville PA. During the day i am a delivery driver who makes her own hours/working days. This makes my days super flexible to house sit/daily walks/drop in visits for other pet parents! I do not have children but my chihuahua rescue Nani as well as my cats Fiona & Joel are my entire world. I have been around animals ever since I was a child, I don't think there was ever a year without an animal in our home. From pet/house sitting to working for a local pet sitting business & an animal kennel I have learned a lot about this business as well as oral medication, feedings, and safety. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions/concerns I will be happy to answer them! Throughout the week I am a delivery driver who makes her own hours/working days. This makes my schedule super flexible for other pet parents and their fur babies. At this time I am not offering boarding services and hope to do so in the near future. As for house sitting/animal sitting your fur babies will always be cared for as if they were my own!
About: I am a graduate of Delaware Valley University and am currently a tech at a local animal hospital, which means I work hands on with dogs & cats of all sizes, breeds and tempermants. I have a german shepherd of my own, so I am used to dealing with the high energy big dogs. I would love to visit and take care of your animals, no matter what kind of breed or species. I look forward to working with you and your furry friends !! I work full time but can stop in before work in the morning, at lunch and after work! For drop ins i can stay 30 mins - an hour depending on how far you are from my work! I prefer to follow your pets daily routine as if you were still there doing their normal activities ! No switch up or confusion needed!

“It was the first time we were leaving our puppy, Cliff, and it was soon clear that Michaela was the perfect human companion for our boy.

Mikayla G.
“Mikayla has always showed her love of animals, I remember rescuing a squirrel that fell out of the tree in our yard that didn't have its eyes open and driving it an hour to a rescue that would nurse it until it was old and able enough to be set out into the world again. At the age of 3 there was no arguing with her WE HAD TO SAVE IT. That is why when she decided that she was going to college for small animal science I was not surprised. Her love and care for animals is on a completely different level than that even for humans. She is trustworthy and dependable and would love nothing more than to surround herself in animals 24 hours a day 7 days a week.”
