Shelby was wonderful. You can tell how much she loves doing this. I’m sure if our dogs could speak they would ask to see Shelby everyday. We would love have Shelby care for our pets again. Highly recommended.

I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. From indoor pets to farms. I’m definitely an animal person. I have raised animals, and I have watched animals take their last breath. They deserve the world. I work a full time job but I don’t mind taking care of your animals before and after work. Honestly, I love animals so much that whatever needs to be done, I will do. I have two cats and I treat them like my children. They are very much so velcro cats, but I love it that way. Getting trust with animals is very important.

Tina has been caring for my cats for the last three years and it is always such a weight off my mind to know that there’s someone I trust to watch my most precious babies (I’m a bit of a crazy cat parent). She’s dependable, conscientious, trustworthy, oh yeah, and my cats ADORE her (when Tina comes to the door they immediately swarm her)!

About: I can’t have a dog of my own yet, so I love giving other pups all the care and attention they deserve. I’m reliable and detail-oriented, so I’ll carefully follow every routine, and instruction. Whether your dog loves long walks or cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they are well cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I live and work in downtown Harrisburg, and my hybrid position gives me the ability to work from home on different days each week. When I’m in the office, I’m still nearby and able to stop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, check-ins, or extra playtime. While I’m based downtown, I also have reliable transportation and am happy to travel to homes outside the city as well. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel cared for and stress-free while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone caring for both your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. While I’m not currently offering care in my own home, I’m happy to care for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I’ll carefully follow all care instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and house rules to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m respectful and clean, and I’ll always treat your home with care and professionalism.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs ranging in size and need! I've given pills and insulin injections to some of the dogs I've watched and am very comfortable with those things. I've also watched chickens, turtles, and cats! I am a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little boys! So I am readily available for your pet! We cannot wait to play and meet your pet! I have a fenced in yard. I have a small 8 lb dog that is unamused by other dogs and will keep his distance. Your dog can be crated if you'd prefer. I also have a toddler who knows to be gentle with our dog and will be with yours too.

I am able to administer meds (case by case) and give your cat or dog the attention he/she needs. I am available for walks and drop-ins on the weekends and occasionally during the weekdays over lunch. I have a consistent work schedule from 8-5 that does not vary and am rarely unavailable on the weekends. I strive to bring the most comfortable and trusting energy and experience to your home to care for your dog or kitty. I am comfortable with crating your dog, cleaning their paws, and any other special requests!

About: Hello! My name is Lisandra and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since my teenage years I have been taking care of dogs as I grew up in a household with a Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Once I moved on my own I decided to continue that care by becoming a dog mom myself. Over the last 15 years I have been a dog mom to 2 wonderful dogs! At the moment, I have my Boston Terrier lover boy Scooby who is a spoiled happy boy. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet’s while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week and can provide doggy day care from 8am-6pm on those 7 days. To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, regular exercise with a 15 min daily walk 2 times a day (once in the afternoon and once in the evening), access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, plenty of attention and play time as well as a in home play mate! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.

Becky was wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy, Theo! She made me feel completely assured that he was in good hands from start to finish. She took him outside for potty breaks, played with him, and made sure he was tired out and comfortable before putting him back in his crate. Her communication was excellent, and we loved all the photos she sent during the visit. Thank you again, Becky — we truly appreciate your care!

Our cats Benny and Charlie are usually very shy around strangers, but Natalie had a magical touch! She was incredibly patient, gentle, and took the time to make our fur babies feel safe. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats is the best feeling. They clearly love Natalie as they have been waiting and watching for her since our return home. Natalie is reliable, highly communicative, and incredibly conscientious. I felt 100% confident that our babies were in the best hands! We highly recommend her to any further baby parent.
