Our two kitties were well taken care of while we were away for a long weekend. Sam was kind, prompt and great with communication! Would definitely use her again.

My puppers was so spoiled with Helena. She came over and let him do his business outside then gave him fresh water and played with him. I will definitely be a recurring client.

Kim really seems to genuinely care for pets. She tried very hard to engage with our very timid cat and got her out of hiding which is not an easy thing to do. I highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future. I especially love Jed the daily updates with pictures and videos.

Nicole was fantastic! As soon as we met, my dog automatically went to her like he knew her forever. A sign of instant trust, She was great at knowing what my dog and cat needed and went above and beyond my expectations. Very personable, responsive, and excellent at keeping me up to date with everything. I will most certainly choose her again!

Kathy was the first person we’ve ever used on Rover to watch our fur babies. We have been so nervous to leave them alone but Kathy made our fears quickly go away as she was quickly responsive and sent adorable photos of our pups each visit and they looked happy as ever. Definitely will be reaching out to her again if we need a sitter in the future!

Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!

We entrusted Erin with the care of our two senior dogs. One is an eleven-year-old Boxer and the other is a fifteen-year-old Morkie. Erin was our very first sitter with Trusted Housesitters. She took charge as a true professional. We had no worries about our dogs being in good hands. They seemed to bond instantly with Erin and she seemed to love them both as if they were her own. Erin took the dogs on frequent walks, treated them to some special toys, and even bathed them. Both dogs seemed to trust her completely which showed us we could be confident of their care while we took a much-needed vacation for ten days. Erin communicated well by phone and text messages. She sent photos and videos often. One of the most reassuring things about Erin's abilities as a house sitter was that during our time away, Hurricane Nicole threatened some parts of Florida. She stepped up and put our minds at ease that all would be taken care of at our 80-year-old craftsman bungalow. It helped to know that Erin is a long-time Florida resident who was quite familiar with hurricane preparation. She expressed confidence in managing the house and the animals during this time. We felt our boys were safe and that our house was secure. We arrived home with little fanfare and the dogs seemed sad to say goodbye. Thank you for everything Erin. Carrie and Jody

About: I have taken care of, dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, spiders, birds, fish, snakes, lizards, rats , hermit crabs, and even babies! Grew up in Florida with the more exotic animals, and farm life in Central Florida. Colorado has been more conventional pets. Tiny guys to large pitbulls and German Shepards. I love them all. New to PA. I work as a fine dining server so I can be on call to care for a pet pretty last minute if I am needed. I have very flexible hours and can easily set up a routine visit if needed. Feel free to ask for last minute bookings. I also have my car if needed. I have a rescue kitten at home, so I do not offer in my home care right now. Although in your home, I am open to any and all rules or routines you would like your pet to be on. It's like babysitting at a client's house but way better! Ha

This was our first time working with Luci, and we were her first clients. I was very happy with her responsiveness and ease with our four kitties. She brings extensive cat experience from having her own plus having worked in a cat shelter, which brought an extra layer of comfort while we were away. We hope she will continue to be our sitter for future needs because she is a very kind, caring person we would love to work with again.

About: My fiancée, Chase, and I are currently raising our lab, and have both grown up with dogs. Additionally, I often babysat for families with pets and would care for them like my own! I am lucky to only work 3 days/week and spend my off days with our dog & running errands. Helping care for your pet gives me something great to do in my time off. Chase is off on weekends and can take over responsibilities if I have to work. We have a fenced in backyard in a wonderful pet-friendly neighborhood. I ensure I follow the owner & pet’s expectations for going out, playing, and any daytime routine.

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I was a little girl. My family always had labs and I can remember my first best friend, Clare. Clare was a yellow lab and we got her when I was 6. Growing up learning the responsibilities of pet care allowed me to grow into a career, now that I am older, that has me surrounded by dogs every day! I've managed a boarding/daycare kennel for the last 2 years and now I manage a Dog Park/Restaurant in Sarasota. I have a Golden Retriever, Maddie, and I love being her mom. She gets me up early and keeps me on a routine. Routine is super important for dogs, as they learn the human world, because at the end of the day- they just want to be dogs! I am confident I could keep any dog happy and on a consistent routine! I currently live in a beautiful house in Laurel Park. I take my dog on a lot of walks and adventures around my neighborhood to keep her active! I have experience in dog training and leash handling, so I am always confident she is secure when we go out. At home, I make sure she gets a lot of love and belly rubs! All things I will happily be doing for your baby!
