Juliette was an awesome sitter. She stayed with my cat and dog for a week in the house. Kept everything tidy, and helped my pitbull (who does tend to jump up on visitors) on track with his training during my trip, and my usually shy cat who hides when I leave was greeting me at the door. I will definitely continue to ask Juliette for her services. Highly recommend

Crystal is great with my very senior dog. She is trustworthy and dependable and puts my mind at ease when I am away. I would absolutely recommend Crystal for overnight care in the home.

Gia is amazing! She’s communicative and on top of everything. She made us feel 100% comfortable that our dogs were being well-taken care of while we were away in another country. She’s top-notch!

Rebecca is the best! She knew we were worried about leaving our dog and sent pictures the entire time we were away. She genuinely cares about the pets she watches over. Duke was calm, happy and well cared for, even with a thunderstorm and a power outage. Would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.

Liz was absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’ve ever left either of my dogs with someone outside of our family so I was super nervous(and my one dog is 14). Liz came over for an interview and immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she was the right choice. We were gone two nights and in those two nights she sent me constant videos and pictures of both dogs. I could tell they were loving her which made me love her even more. She left the house so clean, I couldn’t even tell she was here. We will absolutely be having her come to stay on our next trip again and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. She proved to not only be trust worthy with our home but with our fur babies too. Thank you Liz for everything you did 🐾🐶

About: I am very good with animals, I love to be around them. It never feels like a chore when i take care of animals it feels like a privilege. I do work at giant in hellertown but I have free time most mornings. I would like to feel productive and be able to do something other then lay around before my shift starts.

I felt so fortunate to have Wayne look after my dog, Laney at my rather remote Airbnb, while I attended to a wedding. We had a meet and greet days before and Laney gave him an amazing greeting. Dogs are such a great judge of character. He sent me photos and updates and I knew my dog was in good hands. I’d give him 10 stars.

We can’t recommend Alexandria enough! Her first time sitting for us involved rain/snow and she was flexible with everything that comes with dogs and weather! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. Was a huge relief to know they were well taken care of and happy with her! We will defiantly book with Alexandria again!

Gabrielle is amazing. Left our house in better condition than we did! And my pups absolutely love her. She was great with my cats, too, who rarely show their faces to anyone but our family. I hate to recommend her so highly, because I want to make sure she is always available for us when we need her! But she is amazing. I do highly recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of Hailee. This was her first time dog sitting for us, and every single thing that could have gone wrong in our house did. Our water heater broke right before she arrived and started flooding the finished basement, the plumber that fixed the water heater accidentally left the gas off so there was no heat for 24 hours, and there was a fire down the street that caused them to turn off the power to our grid. And yet, Hailee made it all a breeze. Between coordinating with our plumber, keeping the dogs calm with the commotion in the house, and keeping us in the loop. We came home to a clean house and happy & tired dogs. You would have never known that it was a crazy week. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind & will be rebooking!

Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!
