“We cannot say enough amazing things about Sydney and her time watching our 2 fluffy family members! She was attentive and went above and beyond to communicate daily with us! We will make sure to book with her again! :)”

“Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.”

“Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!”

“Debra was fantastic!! Our pup took to her right away, made him and us feel completely at ease right away. She was so accommodating to our our needs, our pup doesn't like to be alone much, and she spent so much time with him, walked him often and put up with his awful snoring at night with no complaints. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout each day which we appreciated! She came to our home for 4 days and left it in perfect shape. Highly recommend Debra, she is very kind and has a calm spirit, which our pup meshed with perfectly. We look forward to booking her again for all of our trips❤”

“Becky was so great with our senior dog and three overly friendly kitties while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent tons of updates and pictures. Our critters were so happy and well cared for. She gave us peace of mind and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you a million times, Becky!”

“10/10 would recommend! High level of communication, honest and trust worthy. I will be hiring Jedan again for any of my overnights and drop ins schedule permitting :).”

“Lauren is amazing! Everyone was beyond cared for and she sent lots of pictures. Always thoughtful, prompt and a great communicator! I feel secure with her keeping our pets happy and safe while we're gone :)”

“Great experience! We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog in Lauren's care so we could take a trip. Our dog loved her and had a great time. Lauren was on time, kept in contact, and very professional! Definitely book her for your animals care.”
“Hannah was great with Jax, our 7 year old greyhound. She took great care as she sat with him at our home for two nights. Already looking to book for for a week for our family vacation next month!”


About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
“Marlaina took care of our diabetic pup while we were away and did such a great job! She was communicative and took such good care of our girl. We never had to worry and were able to enjoy our vacation. It's wonderful to be able to have so much trust in someone to care for our loved ones.”

“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”

“Kayla is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! We had just moved into the area, so I didn’t know anyone who could watch my baby (dog), Charlie. I was a little nervous originally to leave him with someone new. However, we met Kayla prior to the dog sitting and really liked her so felt very comfortable with having Kayla watch Charlie. She did such a fantastic job- I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was able to stay with Charlie for as long as we needed, gave me frequent updates (and pictures/videos 😍), did everything that I had suggested but didn’t necessarily expect to do in one day-play games with him, walk him, and give him treats. She also followed all of my directions which I really appreciate. Kayla gave my guy so much love and attention, I didn’t even feel guilty for leaving him. He was in great hands! Kayla was the perfect sitter for us and I will be for sure requesting her again for any other needs in the future.”


“Emily provided excellent overnight care for our dog. She sent videos and checked in throughout her stay at our house. We will continue to have her dog sit for us and would highly recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of pets and house sitting since 1998. I’ve had multiple pets at one time including cats, dogs, fish, and guinea pigs. I work remotely, with flexible hours. My down time activities include reading, which makes keeping an eye on furry family members easy and fun. I enjoy getting fresh air and walking which most dogs usually enjoy as well. I can work from most anywhere, so there’s no problem fitting right in to your pets familiar environment. I do need a desk to work from and somewhere to sleep if overnight care is requested.
“Jeremy did a great job housesitting with our dog and cats after our previous sitter cancelled last minute for a week long trip. Great communication, followed instructions, and overall did a great job. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend to others.”
