“Michelle was a wonderful sitter for Finn. He had lots of walks and snuggles. She recognized his needs and provided loving care. I appreciate the pictures she sent and reassuring texts. I highly recommend Michelle and look forward to rebooking!”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“My fur babies had a wonderful time with Schejn and his mother Carol while we were away. From the moment I submitted the boarding request, Schejn was incredibly responsive and flexible. We truly felt at ease knowing our dogs were in their care. Drop off and pickup were seamless. It’s clear that both Schejn and Carol are genuine dog lovers. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.

I'm very comfortable and feel assured my puppy is safe and she can be a outgoing happy silly teething puppy that she is without regrets. Thank you Margaret can't wait to get her we miss her. We traveled from Maine to Georgia ..our Aunt couldn't handle our dog in Maryland was happy we found a sitter.”

“Kelly was fantastic with our Roo! Roo was right at home in their home and both Kelly and her husband gave Roo the special treatment that she as used to. I highly recommend Kelly!”
About: I have owned all types of animals my entire life. Ranging from cats and dogs to rats and goats. I also have owned bearded dragons, snakes, and other reptiles. I work with dogs and cats in my free time (even being fortunate enough to care for some police k9 across multiple departments in the Kennel and Boarding section of Quakertown Veterinary Clinic: Baron, Ranger, Jaso, Revo, Jax, and more!) I am an extremely patient person; especially with animals and love to take great care of them. I have owned small dogs and large dogs; currently I own two English Mastiffs, so I am adept in taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have been educated through the Upper Bucks County Technical School, personal experience, and now Delaware Valley University. In these experiences I have learned how to work with, walk, and entertain pets of all species. With me, I will make sure that your pets are well taken care of and that you don't have to worry about your pet being alone and not taken care of. I hope to be able to give you and your pets my 100%!
“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”

“Myra is beyond wonderful with Peanut. She walks her, plays with her, gets out her toys and treats and keeps her busy and happy. I'm amazed at how comfortable Peanut is with Myra. I'm thankful to have found someone with such a connection and will continue to use her as Peanut's home away from home.”
“Bailey had such a lovely time at Susan and Robert’s home! I received plenty of updates and photos and felt assured that Bailey was comfortable and well taken care of. Would absolutely have them watch her again”

“Libby has been my next-door neighbor for approximately six years and she regularly watches my two dogs; a german shorthaired pointer and a dachshund. I travel frequently for work, but when I’m gone I know I NEVER have to stress about the dogs. Libby is attentive and reliable, and she genuinely loves animals. Libby is also an exceptional communicator and problem-solver. If I forget to check a box and leave her all the of tools that she needs, she figures out how to do what’s necessary to make sure my boys get what they need. She goes above and beyond, and I’d recommend her above anyone else!”
