“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”
About: I am super fun and energetic. I absolutely love to play and take care of animals. I have a certification in Dog Psychology & Training and I'm available for overnight visits! I'm available for any of your daytime needs for your pet. I have owned, and still own, many dogs in the past so I have no problems with breed restrictions and I'm not hesitant with any dog. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and give them the care they deserve, I'm here! Please consider me when you're looking for a person to care care of your little, or big furry friend! Thank you so very much! I have 3 cats of my own and my parents have 2 dogs, so I'm constantly taking care of animals. I also have 5 foster kittens that mix into my daily routine! Pets in my home are well taken care of. They are given all the food and supplements they need! They also always have clean litter and a vacuumed space, so they don't track litter around the house.
“Dawn was so caring and loving with my girls. This was a last minute booking , but it felt like she had known my pups forever. Dawn took her time to get to know each of my dogs’ personalities and made sure they were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions. My house looked great upon my return. I will definitely will be using her again in the near future!”
“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”
“Alyssa was wonderful with my Sascha. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and Alyssa made Sascha and me feel very comfortable leaving her with Alyssa. Alyssa kept me updated and sent pictures to reassure me Sascha was doing just fine. I highly recommend this young lady to sit with your beloved pet. You can trust that she will take good care of them.”
“3 dogs, 2 cats, dozens of pond fish, plants demanding attention -- Brian took care of it all! Our dogs can be wary of newcomers and Brian was able to win them over in little time. We felt very confident leaving so much in Brian's hands and he didn't disappoint. We even came home after almost 2 weeks to a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be using Brian in the future!”
“Justin was easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog - he sent us several photos during the house stay, and was very accommodating when we had to shift our schedule. We’d happily hire him again! Our pup had a great time with Justin.”
About: I’ve dog-sat my whole life for family and friends and had recent experience caring for cats. My rescue dog Millie came with her own behavior struggles so I understand that every animal has different care needs. I am happy to stick to training schedules, provide any specific healthcare needs or just be the companion/cuddle buddy for your pet. I’m currently in between jobs and have all day to provide the care and attention your pet may need. I’m happy to adapt to any schedule. I have experience with leash training and am able to take dogs on long walks or hikes if requested. I plan to provide a playful and stimulating environment for your pet.
About: I'm 63 and you can call me Frank! I have had and loved dogs since I was a kid. Okay, mom and dad did most of the work back then, but from my teenage years on I've housebroken and helped raise three of my dad's chihuahua's, the last of which we adopted when he passed ten years ago. She is still with us, along with my daughter's dog who also lives with us now! Also, my son's chihuahua puppy visits every two weeks or so! We are all very diligent with getting them on schedules, fed, walked and played-with regularly. My dad's almost 14 year old chihuahua still plays with the puppy, that tell you something? My pictures show a couple shots of our dogs on vacation with us in Gettysburg- they've also been to Canada, Ocean City, NJ and Lake Glory in the past ten years! We lost the Sheltie, Bella, in January but she had a great life, also pictured! We also had a Tabby named Stanley for 16 years, so I'm cat-friendly too! Your pet will have a great time and be spoiled a bit, whether I'm stopping by for a short stay or sticking around for a while! Of course, your rules first, so just let me know what you need and I'll do the rest! I'm currently driving with Lyft, but really want to scale back the driving and use my flexible schedule constructively by making some of my favorite animals happy! We have a fully-fenced yard in which the dogs love to run, 1100 square feet inside and basically all doggies are treated like family! They are fed dog food only, and just a light treat or two during the day, also dog-related, not "people food" treats. Plain, boiled chicken is the only exception, with white rice if there's an upset belly!. They are bathed monthly in the summer, and brushed randomly, though my daughter's dog has very short hair. I have also stayed at the homes of several individuals to care for their pets, a few of whom should be submitting testimonials shortly, if they haven't already!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Emily. I am 23 years old, I finished my first year teaching! I have been dog sitting for the past 4 years! I am free all year around!I am really responsible and etc! I can dog sit at your house when you go on vacation,dog walk and do check in’s! I have 3 pets of my own 1 dogs and 2 cats! Hi everyone I am free all the time during the summer. I love animals! I can dog sit, dog walk and stop by during the day to check on them! I don’t have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog and 2 cats that will keep your puppy happy. My dog gets along with anyone.
“Reina was great. She stayed at my house with my fur baby for 7 days. She sent me daily updates and lots of pictures. Finn has a seizure disorder and requires meds twice a day. She made sure that he received them on time. I would use Reina again in the future :)”
About: With years of hands-on experience in pet care, I offer a comprehensive range of services to keep your pets happy, healthy, and well-cared-for. From administering medications to taking your dog on long walks or runs, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, baths, and basic grooming like nail trimming or fur maintenance. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, I’m committed to giving your furry friend the best care, tailored to their individual needs. I’m available 3-4 days a week for regular pet care and walks and on my days off, I’m free all day to spend time with your dogs. If overnight stays are needed, I’m always available in the evening to keep your pets company. Since I have a small home, I prefer to care for your pets in their own familiar environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I personally own a 4-year-old Mini Schnauzer named Mochi—he’s the best! He’s friendly and gets along great with other dogs, so your pets will have a buddy to play with. I’ll provide them with lots of love, attention, and treats, and ensure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. I personaly like being left with instructions so that your dog won’t stray away from their routine.

Catherine H.
“Catherine has been amazing at watching my two goobers. I have a pitty with a few reactive tendencies and a golden that is all strength no brain. She has watched them at her house multiple times and taken them on walks in the park many times. She has her own dog who has come all the way from a very reactive and high maintenance dog to a loveable well behaved family dog. Catherine put in so much work taking all the lessons and had so much patience with her own dog that I know she can handle almost any dog. She is very responsible and respectful too. I trust her to help you and your dog(s)!”
Francis L.
“For as long as I have known Frank he has always been a true animal lover. He has always had 2 to 3 dogs of his own and we have used him to help take care of our two dogs when we were away. He is extremely patient and loving with our dogs. We have two rescues and one of them had a bad life before we got her. She is always wary of people who are not a part of her regular life. Frank always takes the time and patience to make her feel comfortable every time she re-meets him. He has even earned the coveted “kiss” of acceptance from her! Frank takes extra special care to make sure our dogs were exercised and cared for, treating them like his own. We would highly recommend him to any other pet owner.”

“Emily is a loving, helpful person who enjoys caring for animals. She is an experienced caregiver in that she has her own dog and 2 cats which she walks, feeds and cares for. She has also taken care of a guinea pig and has trained her dog to walk off leash. Emily would be a good choice as a walker or sitter. She is responsible and takes pride in her work.”
