“Thank you Riven for taking in Remi on such short notice. I appreciate the help so much!! Remi liked being there so definitely would like to have you sit for her again.”
About: I have lot's of experience in pet care. I walked dogs, pet and house sat for many years in my 20s and after moving to Lancaster a few years ago began pet-sitting again here. My wife and I work from home, which allows us to spend all day with our beloved Havenese Geordi. We all enjoy having other dogs come to play and stay! My wife and I both work from home. My office has a back door out to our fenced in yard so I am able to let the dogs out pretty much anytime they like. I can't even count how many times a day my dog goes out back. I also like to take the dogs on a stroll around the block before and after work. As mentioned I have a fenced in yard and a Havanese who loves to have dog guests to play with and stay over. We give all the dogs lots attention and always make sure their needs are met.
“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Love Haitao! He watched our dogs for 11 days. He is very kind, patient and caring. He is so responsible and attentive. He made sure to send photos of our pups all week and took great care of them. I felt like I could relax on vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands. Would use him again!”
“Angelina was fantastic! She took great care of Sammy, and sent us lots of photos while we were away. Excellent communication and very easy to work with. I would absolutely ask Angelina to watch Sammy again!! Thank you!”
“We left our dog with Alison twice and would definitely have her stay again. She was responsive and kept us updated. Would highly recommend and look forward to having her watch our dog again soon.”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Hi. Hello. It’s me. Kona. Baby dog. CEO of this house while my humans are gone. I would like to speak about Loren. Because WOW. First of all: Loren showed up for me. Suspicious. Heroes do that. Loren knew my name immediately. I never told them. (Okay maybe my humans did, but still. Magic.) She understood my language. I signaled: *snout budging* She asked: “You need to go outside.” Correct. Genius. Scholar. She fed me EXACTLY when I was starving to death (which happens every 9 hours). She gave me food AND didn’t steal it AND didn’t rush me even when I dropped it on the floor on purpose to test her loyalty. Passed. She took me on a walk. Not a “quick” walk. A **sniff-every-tree-branch-like-it’s-a-mystery-novel** walk. She waited while I investigated the same bush for 4 straight minutes because something smelled like *crime*. She played with me. Not “throw ball once” play. Real play. The kind where I bring the toy back and she act surprised EVERY TIME. Excellent acting. Five stars. When I got tired, she noticed. I didn’t even have to dramatically collapse. She said, “Aww, nap time.” YES. FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO GETS ME. She respected my boundaries. Except when I needed exactly 17 belly rubs and then ONE MORE or I would simply pass away. She stayed. She protected the house with me. We heard a noise once. Probably the wind. But still. We were brave together. In conclusion: The Dog Sitter is ✨ The Best Human ✨ ✨ A Treat Giver ✨ ✨ A Walk Bringer ✨ ✨ My New Best Friend ✨ I will miss her. Unless she comes back. Which she should. Immediately. 10/10 Would allow to dog sit me again and share my toys (which is a BIG deal). End of report. BORK. - Kona 🐾”
“Yvonne and her wonderful family cared for our pup, Ruby, as if she were their own. While we were away, Ruby was showered with love—daily walks, endless games of fetch, and all the belly rubs she could ask for. Yvonne kept us fully in the loop with frequent updates and adorable photos that made being away so much easier. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and communication throughout. Ruby had an amazing time, and so did we, knowing she was in such great hands.”
“My dog, Lucy, had a wonderful stay with Julie! Julie was very responsive to my initial response and any future questions. More importantly, I got a bunch of photos and updates of how Lucy’s visit was going which was wonderful. I highly recommend Julie. Lucy can’t wait for a future stay!”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Marianne was very responsive, caring and easy to work with. Our dog got a lot of attention and we received several photos of him during his boarding. We’ll be happy to use Marianne’s services in the future, and recommend her to anyone looking for personalized boarding.”
“Exceptional care! Our dog, Zeus fell ill while we were away, but thanks to Priti, we couldn't have asked for better support. Her attentiveness and compassion were remarkable. She went the extra mile to ensure our pup's comfort, managing the illness with expertise. We received regular updates with pictures & videos, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Priti, for anyone needing special care for their furry baby.”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Mary is simply wonderful! She took such good care of my neurotic but lovable 11 year old girl. Bambi very quickly became quite attached and comfortable with her. Mary is a true dog lover and approaches them with love and patience. I got great pics and updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and I will definitely hire her again.”
“Marlene loved her time with Nicole and looked to her for permission to run around when she got home; they clearly enjoyed their time together and hopefully will do so again.”
“Our senior dog has stayed with Yingying twice now and both times he’s come home very happy and well taken care of. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Gabriel is a wonderful guy, it is obvious how caring he is with the dogs. The videos were wonderful seeing our furry family member while away. I will definitely use Gabriel for my next need of Doggy Care”
