“Stephen did a great job! In all the pics he sent the dogs were happy! Our puppy was so tired from playing with Stephen the whole time, which is a difficult task since nothing wears out this puppy!! We will definitely use him again.”

6. karli c.
“Karli has been such a help when we're away! Our pets are everything to us and it's requires a lot of trust for us to feel comfortable being away from them, but Karli has put all of our concerns at ease. I can't recommend her enough!”
7. Courtney T.
About: I am currently a PA student at Alvernia University. I am very active and love taking my dog Reggie to the beach and on long walks/runs. I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I always grew up with two dogs. I recently got a new puppy, Reggie, who is 12 months old, so I have tons of experience with training and puppy discipline. My mom works at a vet so I always go to her if I need advice regarding my pets. I currently go to school Monday- Friday with flexibility throughout the week to take care of your pets. My school schedule is different each week so I have tons of availability to meet your needs. My dog is my whole world! I put him first with everything I do in my life. I understand that to your pet, you are their whole world as well so creating that care giver relationship is so important to me. I want to provide the type of care for dog owners that I would want for my Reggie.
8. Riley M.
About: I have had a dog for the past 12 years and I have taken a large role in taking care of him. I have also volunteered at Forgotten Cats with my aunt, caring for kittens and foster cats looking to be adopted. I am very comfortable around cats and dogs and would treat every animal like my own! I work 5 days a week, but my schedule is very flexible. Most days I work 9-5 but there are days I work less and I am easily able to take off. I am available early mornings, nights, and I can be available on weekends! I have a large neighborhood that is easy to walk dogs around, giving them much needed exercise. I have always kept dogs on a leash and have had experience keeping dogs away from others if they become combative.
9. Marian C.
“Marian did an amazing job by dropping in and checking in on my shy and timid kitty! She went the extra mile to make sure my cat took her pill and made sure she ate (my cat stops eating when her people are away). I’d highly recommend her to trust that she’ll take care of your fur babies when you’re away.”
10. Cassandra N.
“Cassandra is wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us and our cats prior to the appointment. We had her drop in for our cats while we were away and she took great care of them. She is a true lover of all animals and very respectful. We just found our new permanent cat sitter! Thank you so much ?”
11. Jessa L.
“Jessa was so patient with my dogs - as they required a lot of attention!! She was very responsive and I didn't have to worry about my pups while she was there! Highly recommend!”
12. Jessica P.
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work full time as an Emergency Department nurse which means I actually only work three days a week! I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊
13. Stacey T.
“Being new to the area, it was necessary to find a reliable and dependable pet sitter who we could trust to love & care for our furballs. Stacey took excellent care of our 2 pups while we were away for 10 days. She is honest, trustworthy, and is very good with dogs. My eldest is a rescue & tends to take a while to warm up to new people, but she immediately took to Stacey. As a bonus, Stacey is a genuinely kind person and was flexible when coordinating date/time for our meet & greet. She asked pertinent questions that affirmed that she is very knowledgeable about dogs and wished to know their individual preferences, needs, any medications, as well as our expectations. Stacey kept in touch while we were away & sent pictures - it was heartwarming to know that Lily & Otis were having themselves a lovely stay-cation with their new buddy. We will definitely book Stacey again and highly recommend her services. Thanks again, Stacey!”
14. Trisha L.
About: I grew up on a 25 acre cow farm. As a child I had every pet imaginable. As a mother I allowed my children to experience owning pets. My 2 youngest grown children have dogs and they are my grand dogs lol. We are a horse family. I have a degree in education and have been a teacher for ever. If I can be trusted with children then you can certainly trust me with you pets. I currently don’t have any pets due to where I live. The landlord is strict on the no pets policy. I know it’s a bummer 👎 All my children are grown so I have evenings and weekends free 👍 I know pets can be considered as a family member so I will take care of them as if they are my own children. I will provide plenty of extra love and kisses.
15. Alanna A.
“Alanna is an exceptional young woman who is working her way through nursing school at La Salle University while also being an active member of ROTC. She is hardworking, determined, trustworthy, and dependable. Alanna also has an incredible personality and great sense of humor! She has been incredible and loving with my two dogs, Bella and Rocky! Couldn't imagine having a different person to watch my dogs!”
16. Matt C.
“Punctual and accommodating.”
17. Makenzie D.
About: i’ve had pets my whole life and adore taking care of them. I also take care of my friends animals which include bunnies, lizards, cats and dogs when she needs me as she’s out of town often. I’m a full time stay at home mom so I am pretty much always available as I have multiple people who I live with who can look after my child anytime when needed! I have a Yorkie at home who is friendly with any other animals and long leashes outside for any dogs needed to spend time outside safe and secure
18. Kayden B.
“My two golden retrievers loved Kayden! Great all around!”
19. Ryan T.
“I can't say enough good things about Ryan! He was an absolute lifesaver on my last vacation. He cared for our dog and our chickens perfectly! He even sent daily updates with photos and videos that helped me relax while I was gone. It was clear Ryan was giving Lucy plenty of love, exercise and attention too. I came home to a happy pup and lots of eggs from my chickens. Will definitely be booking him again for my next trip!”
20. Lauren M.
“Lauren was a wonderful care giver to Maisy. She did everything I asked and even stayed to rub her belly so she felt calm. I highly recommend her and hope she’s available in the future.”
