“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)!”

“Sally provided wonderful care to our 2 senior dogs while we were away. We are grateful for her loving and patient care of our pups. Will definitely request Sally as our Rover sitter in the future!”

About: For the past two years, I’ve looked after my own cat and learned a lot about keeping cats healthy, comfortable, and entertained. I understand how important routine and comfort are for pets, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for in your absence Im available for evening pet visits after 5 pm , free schedule on weekends. Greet for feeding , litter changes ,playtime ,walking and check ins I understand how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pets. I follow detailed routines, respect your home and rules, and prioritize safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in reliable hands.
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.
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”

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 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.

“Chentel is such a wonderful, and caring cat sitter. My two boys relate to her so well and when we are traveling internationally, it is such a relief to have her watch over them. Highly recommend!!! She is the best in my book.”

“Molly is very kind, quick to respond, and during her drop in with Onion provided plenty of updates on him, his food, water, and litter. Pretty much everything we asked for and more!”

“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.”

About: I will do what they need, I have cared for birds, cats, rodents, and I'd love to help. I will provide whatever service you need, any size dog included. I only have personal experience of 6+ years, but I am very passionate about animals. I'm unemployed cause I'm planning on learning to drive, and I'm 20 years old. I care for my family pet cats, my bird, and have cared for rodents. I have walked a puppy for my neighbors before and have been around tons of dogs, I have no professional experience but I would follow any necessary schedule to the best of my abilities. I will follow any regulations you may have, and use my resources to provide a safe and happy experience for your loved one, I am great at following instructions and I love giving attention to animals.

Sydney did a super job with my two babies! They warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to immediately connect with my cats. She was prompt and stayed for the entire drop-in visit. Those are things that are important to me and that I truly appreciate. I will use her again and I definitely recommend her!
