“Hunter was great! We had a last-minute booking need, and she stepped in without any issue. We were relieved that someone could come by to check on the kitties while we were gone.”
“Grace is a very good to excellent cat sitter. And can handle medications well. She understood all the directions the first time. She was especially prompt, communicates very well, and was becoming more warmed up as the week went on. My cats became warmed up, too. Excellent pictures. I must say, I was nervous but I became very confident in her help. Everything went as planned and my cats were in excellent shape when I returned. Thank you Grace”
“Rachael is a wonderful sitter and makes even our skittish cats feel safe. She handles our older cat’s medication gently and reliably and it’s a comfort to know she is in charge.”
“Michele was wonderful with our dogs, they honestly loved her from the moment they met her. She spent tons of time playing with them and made sure all of their needs were met. Without a doubt we will be requesting Michele’s services in the future.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job watching our cats! We were gone for just over 2 weeks and nervous about leaving our ladies by themselves for so long. Sarah made sure the food and water were filled, the boxes were cleaned, and even cleaned up when they didn’t make it in the box. Our kitties can be a little shy but I can tell they liked Sarah because they always came out of their cozy places when she came for her drop-in visits, so they got some social time as well. I can definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of others pets for years. I can walk, feed, play, administer medications, have experience with injection medications with dogs, cats and even reptiles. I have some experience in training with my own animals. I work part time managing a cat themed winery, I have plenty of time around that to take care of your pup or kitty. I absolutely love animals, mine are my world (They run my house!) I can easily fit yours into my schedule and give them all the love and attention they need when you are away. I am really good at following instructions, I can do everything you require for your fur baby. In your home I can ensure it stays clean and they are always taken care of instead of locked up and lonely when you can’t be with them. They’ll be safely entertained and you can even get regular updates on how they are if you’d like!
About: I have had dogs all of my life. I currently have a French Bulldog and 2 Olde English Bulldogs. I understand the quirks of stubborn breeds and the specific care needed for brachycephalic dogs. I treat my dogs as a member of my family and would do the same for your babies. I have had cats in the past and willing to care for them as well. I do have chickens and have had goats so I am comfortable with them. I am detail-oriented and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness. My schedule Monday through Friday for walks or drop ins may vary due to my work schedule. I am always available after 1 pm but may have a day that I am done earlier or off. Weekend availability varies. I would care for your pets like they were my own (and I am a pretty picky pet parent), following the instructions that are left for me and being sure to communicate along the way!
About: I've grown up with a dog (or two) in my family my entire life, ranging from German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, and Pit Bulls. Although, my favorite breed is the Pit Bull! My partner and I recently rescued a 10 year old pitbull/Boston terrier mix named Stumpy who is the absolute best! I've also been involved with a fostering rescue and was able to help find homes for a 2 year old pitbull and 1.5 year old Bernese Mountain dog. I'm an active individual and I love getting my exercise with a furry friend! I do work full time, but my schedule allows for free time in varies parts of the day during the week to help care for your best friend I will carefully follow your instructions and guidance for how you best want your dog cared for while you're gone and treat them like my own.
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime, around 9 different breeds in the past 18 years. I have also been pet sitting for multiple clients over the course of a year. I have taken care of frail senior dogs all the way to puppies. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty if I must. I also have a lot of experience with other animals! I’ve owned birds, lizards, rats, crabs, bunnies, fish, you name it! I will also gladly take care of any pets like these with no extra charge :) I have a flexible job and am able to work around that as well as my college classes as most of them are spaced out throughout the day. I always make sure to let the pups out immediately and change the water in the water bowl, and feed them if it’s time to eat. I typically make sure to wipe the grime out of their eyes in the morning- it bothers me for some reason, I like when dogs have a clean face. I’ll usually stay for around 20 minutes or longer and hang out with the pups. If a dog needs to get his/her energy out, I’ll normally play with them before I leave to ensure they don’t wreck the house. I’ll give a treat twice a day at most.
“Allyse has been such a huge help with both my dogs! I needed a last minute booking (9 hour notice) and she went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
About: Throughout my life I have always had a pet to keep me company. I have had the privilege to help take care of dogs of all ages and sizes. During grade school, our school had a class pet guinea pig that we were chosen to adopt at the end of the year. Our family has also raised chickens from pullets and a few years ago adopted a kitten without a mom whom we needed to bottle feed. No matter the animal, I am dedicated to giving them a great life. During the summer, I live at my home in southeastern Pennsylvania with my family and can offer more time to care for and look after people's pets. I am able to care for my pets by providing them with food, water, and shelter, and allowing them to exercise outdoors when needed. While I can't bring a client's pet(s) to my home, I plan to bring the same experience to their homes.
“I asked Kim to visit my 2 cats twice a day while I was down the shore last week, and I’m so glad that I did! Kim is consistent, kind, and I felt so happy knowing my cats were with her for the week. She sent great pictures and communicated regularly which I greatly appreciate. I will definitely be rebooking Kim the next time I’m away!”

Shawn E.
“Our family has known Shawn for many, many years. In that time we have witnessed his natural ability to be a caring individual. Generally, of course, he enjoys the typical hanging out with friends and family but Shawn is made up of something extra. He has such a great love of the outdoors, nature and animals especially. His appreciation of all creatures simply makes me proud to know this young man. Recently, Shawn “dog-sat” for us. Our 2 dogs - one of which is still a puppy; by himself he is a handful but both are can certainly cause a lot of trouble. Over a 3 day period, staying overnight, Shawn rose to any challenges that came up with our dogs. He always says they were “fine/good” when we checked in but somehow I think he wasn’t telling the whole story😋. I would not hesitate to have Shawn take care of our fur babies again and without a doubt recommend him to anyone that would need these services.”
