“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”
“Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.”
“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.
“Valerie was so great with Bandit. She sent us photos and updates. She absolutely knew his needs and took very good care of him. She was also very accommodating since she didn’t have much notice. I would absolutely have her sit with him again. Bandit actually cried for her when she left. Great girl and great personality. Thank you so much Valerie for taking good care of our fur baby.”
“Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I have experience dogsitting and catsitting for many of my friends and family. I have watched dogs of all sizes, though most of my experience is with medium to large. I volunteered with the SPCA door 2 years in one of their cat rooms. I've cared for senior pets, both dogs and cats. I've cared for animals who needed oral medicine, eye medicine, and I had to give my cat insulin shots for a few years, so I do have some experience with medecine that needs injected, too. I also have 4 years' experience working in a greenhouse, if you're going away for a while and need someone to watch your plants as well. I love animals and have dedicated a lot of time to learning about them and their care, everything from dogs and cats to fish and reptiles. The only thing I really don't have experience with (yet) is birds, but I am always willing and excited to learn! I work at a music store during the day. My shifts are between 6–8 hours. Mondays I'm free in the morning and then work till 8pm. Tuesday–Friday I'm usually done by 5, sometimes earlier, and I always have off on Sundays. I care for pets by paying attention to them and getting to know their unique personalities. When I am caring for an animal, their safety and wellbeing is always my top priority, as well as doing my best to keep them happy and entertained.
“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
“We hired Nimo to house sit our cat for nine days. She is a joy to work with. She took great care of our cat. She followed our instructions, responded to our messages, and sent us loads of adorable pictures of our cat. We could tell that she loves animals. We feel comfortable trusting her with our cat and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Casey was an excellent sitter. She followed all the rules for our two dogs and communication was consistent. Our Chihuahua is not the easiest to care for, but Casey was patient with our little guy and he definitely warmed up to her quickly. I will definitely be contacting her for future bookings.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was little. My neighbors and other intermittent clients have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medication, and housesit their animals for a long time now. I also have worked at a facility that works closely with any and all types of dogs for about 3 years now—providing daycare, grooming, boarding, training, etc. I have also lived with dogs and cats my whole life, even a few geckos! I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I like to make sure all animals feel safe and loved for even if their owners are not around. It is important to treat our pets with as much love as we give ourselves—they deserve time, attention, and excellent care! I only have experience caring for pets in their own home, since this is where the animals are the most comfortable. I try my very best to make sure the animals I am around are comfortable with my presence, as I understand all animals are different, and will need different kinds of attention!
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, and have owned multiple rescue dogs since I was 22 years old. I often assist my neighbors and family with their pets. My dogs are 100% my top priority! I have 2 small dogs who I currently take out every 2-3 hours. I am a dedicated dog momma that prioritizes them, making pet care a daily routine. I adjust to the temperament of the dog. It's important to make them feel comfortable in the home at all times. I let my dogs graze, with food and water available to them at all times. But this can be adjusted to your pups needs. We also walk daily (at least once a day), and treats are provided after successful potties outside. I also provide a variety of toys, blankets, and beds for my dogs.
About: I have been watching dogs and cats full time since 2016. I am a housewife with 17years experience caring for my own dog. My children are animal lovers too. Right now we have a Central American Wood Turtle, a Leopard Gecko and Hermit Crabs. Also, in college I studied animal behavior. I love all animals and have had many different kinds of pets. I can watch farm animals such as chickens, ducks, goats,rabbits, and pigs. In addition, I can watch your pet at your place. I am trust worthy and neat. Finally, I am responsible and I will treat your dog like it is my own. Right now I am currently open from 5:40 to 9 pm. Please ask if you need to schedule a different time which most of the time I can be accommodating. I have a high fenced in yard that we check frequently. I can easily crate your dog if I go to walk other dogs or do drop in visits.
