“Grace has been great! She shows up on time, leaves excellent details on report cards, and leaves the place exactly as we requested! Dogs are happy and healthy and we will gladly be using her more!”


“Would pick Rachael again and again to take care of our cats. Always sends us good updates and a ton of pictures. With one of our cats sick and getting medications, she gives me such a good peace of mind that they are getting the best care. Highly recommend Rachael.”


About: Whether walking, boarding or drop in care, I am your gal! I have an open and flexible schedule and will love your pet as my own! I have a fenced area and two older children who will play with your pet! My kids and I love walking dogs, playing with them and just having them around. I know sometimes last minute things pop up, but no worries, I'm available when that happens. Running late, need an early drop off? I'm your gal! Im even available to take your pet to the vet, groomers or social gatherings lol. I have a puppy at home that I adore. Her name is Bella and she loves meeting new friends! We look forward to meeting your furry loved one! :) I am flexible! During the summer, especially, I am available based on your needs. I am diligent with finding a time that works for you. Your furry loved one will always be on the leash during walks. My neighborhood is safe and very fur friends friendly! In the home, it's nothing but love!

About: I used to nanny and dogsit, and if I'm being honest... kids and dogs aren't that different. Both respond well to snacks, praise, and someone who welcomes a meltdown (or the zoomies). I have two pups of my own - complete opposites - and I love them more than anything. It's given me a firsthand experience with everything from energetic chaos gremlins to sensitive cuddlers. Whether you have a senior pup in need of gentle care, or a puppy testing the limits of gravity (and patience), I've got the energy and experience for it. I am reliable, observant, and probably more excited to see your dog than most people. I treat every pet like they're a part of my family, because I know the anxiety and stress that comes with leaving your fur baby with someone else. You want them safe, loved, and just a tad spoiled? SAME! Also, I will 100% talk to your dog like they're a person with big feelings... because they are. Can't wait to meet your pups (: This will soon become my full-time gig, as I am finally embracing my love for pets and want to turn it into a sustainable career. If you do what you love, you won't work a day in your life. My pups are very simple to care for, allowing me a ton of free time to spend with other fur babies. I can be extremely flexible on schedule depending on your pets needs. I live in an apartment, so I will always come to your place, but I am extremely familiar with the area, and I know all the dog parks, walking trails, etc. Whatever your pup likes, we can make it work.

“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!”


“Elise is very conscientious and knowledgeable about cats. She fed my kitties twice a day for several days. When she walked in the door she immediately extended her had to greet each cat for a sniff, different from greeting a dog. They were impressed. My 5 yr. old is not great with strangers; my 1 yr. old is great with strangers. She treated each accordingly. The young one was very enthusiastic about her visits. I would definitely have her back again.”


“Lori is fantastic. She took great care of my dog Charlie. She was very kind and caring with her. She really listened to every detail in caring for her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly to care for your pets. Thanks so much Lori. Dianne Vasquez Emmaus,Pa”


“Reshma was perfect for our situation. She played and entertained my older dog while I was out of town. She scheduled her time every day at the same time so Snickers knew when she'd arrive. She was kind and gentle with my 14 year old dachshund. He took to her immediately and I'll definitely use her from now on.!!”


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 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.

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.

“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!”


“John is the best! He was available for a last minute booking of our 6 month old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. He texted us pictures of everything they were doing, played with him, and took him out. Moose felt right at home with John, and treated him like he was his own pet. The peace of mind having someone like John watch your pet, is priceless. I could not recommend someone more. We will absolutely book John again! Professional, personable, and reliable!”


About: My hubby and I are big dog lovers who enjoy cuddle time and kisses...my boy loves to zoom and would enjoy having other friends to run around the house and backyard with and play! My husband is the animal whisperer, so your kids are within good hands! If you have a greyhound or whippet look no further! :) or most other breeds work fine too! We’ll treat your kids like family when they’re here! We normally have off the same days so we can tag team the animals. Richard either sleeps on the couch or the bed, depends on his mood! Having a fenced in yard works out very well so we can run around and enjoy the fresh air. Crates or dog beds would work best! Hope to help out!

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.

About: Good with all kinds of dogs! Love to play with any dog and cuddle all types of fur babies! Good with ones with a lot of energy! I make my own schedule at work so I can do whatever needed! Currently in college but home for summer break ready to play with dogs! I have a big fenced in yard to run around in, also have a little dog to give some company and play with! Can create whenever, but also has free range of the house

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.”
