“We Just Love You Devyn - and So Do Our Cats! Devyn projects a calm, competent and trustworthy air.. I immediately knew she would do a great job taking care of our three cats, two of which are elderly. Because of their age 17 and 13) it’s important for me to trust my sitter to be able to handle an emergency. Devyn has a lot of experience, both professional and personal, with cats, including rescues. Not only did she take great care of feeding, watering, litter box cleaning and loving on our cats but she also took care of the mail, the newspaper, Amazon deliveries and bringing in the trash cans from the curb. Thank you, Devyn, for an EXCELLENT job.”
About: Hello! My name is Katerina. I have experience with small and large breeds. Growing up, our family had a Great Dane! In my single years, I cared for a beloved Jack Russel terrier from when she was an energetic pup until nearly 17. Currently, I live with my husband Seth and our two daughters, ages 11 and 13. Our little homestead includes a few chickens, a busy hive, and a cat whom we adopted five years ago. We are considering adopting a dog to keep our chickens safe from predators and to be a hiking companion in our travels. I am a full time homemaker and homeschooling parent. My schedule is very flexible. My days include educating my daughters ages 11 and 13 and running a small homestead of a few chickens, bees, and a cat. I love hiking at Ringing Rocks, Lake Nockamixon, and Delaware River canal towpath. Your dog would be a welcome companion on the hikes! If you have a senior dog, he will receive plenty of loving attention and companionship in our home. Our small homestead offers privacy and space for play and running. Your dog may enjoy cooling off in the creek that runs through the property. We live near Delaware canal towpath and Nockamixon state park. Both places offer excellent hiking and walking options for dogs!
About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.
“Liz went above and beyond for my cats and even my houseplants! She’s very communicative, friendly, and responsible. I would highly recommend her services to any one who loves their pets!”
“Jason was amazing with my high needs kitty (chunk) while I was on vacation for a week. Jason truly has a gift with animals and it did not take long for Chunk to warm up to him. I got so many pictures and videos and I could tell that Chunk was more than happy during his stay. 🐱”
“We have rebooked Hannah several times to watch our cat, Rocco. She always does a great job! Thorough report and pictures provided at the end of her visit. She’s a great choice for a pet sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
“Alexandra is AMAZING! She took such good care of my fur babies, I saw so many pictures of them playing happily and looking perfectly cozy with her around, so I didn't have to worry at all. She is so communicative and she checked in regularly to let me how things were going. It was one less thing to worry about while I was away and I definitely appreciated that. 6 stars here, best sitter I've ever had!”
“Thank you Taryn for being conscientious and attentive for us and our cats. We appreciate that you went above and beyond to make them be comfortable and okay during your visits.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for years — I currently have three of my own, all of whom I’ve trained myself or are currently in training. I’m patient, reliable, and truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and overnight stays. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior needing extra care, I treat every dog like they’re my own — with love, structure, and plenty of belly rubs! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine—I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My mornings usually start with feeding, walking, and some playtime or light training. Throughout the day, I schedule time for enrichment activities, potty breaks, and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or others, I stay consistent with routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure each pet gets what they need emotionally and physically. It’s a big part of my life and something I truly enjoy! I have 3 very friendly dogs who are all crate and house-trained. They have a consistent schedule and exercise daily! We do parks, walks, hikes, swimming, and running!
About: I’ve been fostering dogs since 2020 and loving them ever since I was born. I’ve experienced them all from 200lb Great Danes to 5lb chihuahua. I’m schedule is currently very open! So my hours are flexible to help out with you and your pet! Morning - Evenings I’m here to help! I can easily come and help let your dog out, take them for a walk, or to just let them play or keep them company and then safely get them back home.
About: Your pet’s new best friend and spoiler when you’re not around. With a degree in Animal Science and over 30 years of experience in everything from paws to claws (and even scales and feathers!), I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, an animal behaviorist (yes, I speak fluent dog AND cat), and I’ve even run my own pet care company for years providing daily walks, home visits and even house sitting. Whether your dog thinks they’re a couch potato or your cat is a secret ninja, I’m here to make sure they’re pampered, safe, and entertained. From horses to hedgehogs, I’ve got you covered – and their best interests are always my top priority. Your pets will be in the hands of an experienced professional who’s equally passionate about their care and keeping them spoiled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your fur, feathered, or scaly family members soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a complimentary meet & greet session. I am currently working as a full-time teacher, but am very accommodating and flexible to stay overnight, do morning and afternoon visits to see your pets are safe and happy. On the weekends I can be there around the clock, but during the week I am away for work. Unfortunately, I don't offer sitting in my home. Landlord's rules, not mine. But I am happy to take care of your pets in their own environment by staying at yours, which research shows is less stressful and traumatic for your pet.

“Hello, my name is Charlie and I am Noah’s wife. As someone who sees my husband with our two dogs, Pablo and Chapo, every day, I can confidently say he’s a natural. Our dogs absolutely adore him, and he’s been around dogs his whole life. He can work with any dog, big breeds to little ones, puppies to seniors. He’s incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. What I admire most is how responsible he is when it comes to their care. He is always making sure they get the right amount of food, exercise, stimulation, and affection. Whether he’s going on walks, giving them a bath, or just giving belly rubs, he’s always fully present and loving. Any dog in his care is in safe, capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, I couldn’t recommend him more!”
