Chris is excellent and RELIABLE. Elmer was relaxed (for Elmer), content and found a new buddy in Chris. We are very happy to have connected with him and look forward to working with him again. 👍 PS - we will be happy to tip Chris for his hard work with Elmer when we see him next.

Charlotte just stayed at our house for 8 days to take care of our puppy. She was amazing, didn’t mind assisting with some house sitting things like mail and garbage as well and our dog was so well loved and take n care of. This was such a game changer for us - having someone able to stay with our dog in her safe space and we will be hiring Charlotte again soon. Thanks Charlotte!

I reached out to Daniel with extremely short notice. He responded very quickly. He came a hung out with my puppy Moochie who is still crate training, teething and an overly curious baby. I felt very comfortable leaving Moochie with him because he works at the vet hospital and actually cared for Moochie like two weeks earlier when he had a sore butt from a vaccine. Daniel sent me a few pics during his visit, which I always love. He came and left at agreed upon time. My extreme anxiety was put at ease. 💕

Sarah is the most kind and caring animal caregiver I know. She has watched our pets many times over the years and I always knew they were well taken care of and they would never want for lots of love and snuggles. Sarah knows how we miss our fur babies while away so she makes sure we get lots of pictures and updates. There are just not enough words to express how much Sarah means to us and our pets. Sarah is just the best!

Thaddeus has been my dog walker for Petunia (english bulldog) for the last couple of years. I couldn't be happier with his care! Petunia is always well cared for. He is very reliable and always sends me updates via pictures and videos--she always looks so happy! I highly recommend Thaddeus to anyone looking for a dog walker.

If I could give Marissa 10 stars, I would. From the moment we met at my home for the "meet and greet", I felt at ease and my anxious almost 2 1/2 year-old Yorkie took to Marissa right away. Unfortunately, he's not very socialized with people or other dogs. Marissa was great with him from the moment they met. I had to have surgery, and unfortunately, I had to be at the surgeon's office at 7:00 am, which is 1 1/2 hours away so I had to leave my house by 5:30 am. When I mentioned to Marissa that she had to be here at 5:30 am, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She was not only punctual, but knowing I was extremely nervous about getting there on time, she arrived 10 minutes early. Marissa is very sweet and caring, and Harley was a happy boy with her here. I will definitely have Marissa stay with him again should I need to use a sitter in the future. If anyone is searching for a pet sitter in this area, I highly recommend Marissa! Thank you again, Marissa from Harley and Harley's Mom! ❤️

My husband and I have lived in 7 different neighborhoods due to career moves and we have never met a more compassionate, kind-hearted and amiable neighbor than Nancy! We immediately bonded over our love for dogs. My husband and I witnessed how Nancy and her husband extended exceptional care and love to their first and second dog as well as our dog--equally! Although Nancy had a dog of her own, she always showered our dog with adoring affection! Nancy truly considers dogs as extended family members. So, it wasn’t surprising to see how she lovingly catered to her first dog’s every need through his end-of-life journey. Soon after “Disco’s” passing, Nancy and her husband adopted their second dog, “Enzo”, who is just as happy and spirited as their first! Because of Nancy’s big heart, every dog she encounters is happy, safe and in loving hands!

Alexandra would be an amazing dog sitter! Her love for dogs goes all the way back to when she was a toddler. We have two dogs of our own and she LOVES to spend time with them, care for them, and shower them with lots of love. Alexandra is a full time college student, attending Penn State University and works a part time job while she’s home. She is very responsible, reliable, and a very hard worker. She will certainly make your dog top priority !

Steven is my son who has always been passionate with dogs. He has had dogs his whole life and always put them above all. Unfortunately his latest dog Cali. A rescue recently passed away at the age of 12 with a brief sickness of cancer. The last week of Cali’s like he took off work, was by her side constantly and slept on the floor with her. Steven always took her to parks and would walk her constantly. They were known around the neighborhood. I know Steven would care for dogs as if they were his. He truly has a love for dogs.

Nicole is the absolute best pet caregiver because she genuinely cares about the well-being of every dog she encounters, treating them with the love and attention they deserve. She not only ensures they are fed, exercised, and healthy but goes above and beyond to make them feel loved, safe, and happy. Her deep bond with animals shows in the way she listens to their needs, understands their behaviors, and even anticipates their desires, whether it’s a cozy spot to rest or an extra long walk.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I cleaned litter boxes, took my dogs out and made sure they had clean water and food everyday growing up, etc. I always had big dogs growing up, including a Timberwolf/Malamute Husky mix. I have a 4 year old Pomsky, who is everything to our family. I’m a strong believer that our animals are family. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets what it needs. Looking forward to meeting them! I work full time during the weekdays but I get out pretty early each day and im off on the weekends. During the week I can do early-late evening Drop-ins or walks and I’m pretty flexible on the weekends. I will follow your directions precise and will make sure your fur baby is safe every step of the way. I’m always available to contact for special directions.
