“My dog is very happy with Grace, so that makes me happy. This was his second visit with Grace, and everything went great. Grace is very conscientious and is in tune with my dog's needs. He'll be back again next week with his sister.”
“Our girl absolutely loves staying with Lisa. She actually starts perking up in the backseat as we turn onto her street. And we don’t worry for a second while we are away because we know she’s so well cared for.”
“Denise took great care of our Dixie. She sent lots of photos and reported daily as to how she was getting along with everyone. I couldn’t have asked for greater care of our baby. I heartily recommend Denise.”
“Angelita is 10/10! Her care of our Boston terrier was superb. Communications around our reservation was seamless and pleasant. When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”
“Katie watched our dog Nova while we were away for our wedding and was all we could ever ask for! She always responded promptly and put our worries at ease. Our dog is high energy and gets stressed when we leave her. Katie was a gem through it all. Her daughters are also amazing with dogs and we know Nova had the best time with them! We are truly so thankful for Katie and her family!”
“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”
“My pups had a great time, made themselves at home and were well cared for. Loved receiving pics and seeing how well they were doing was comforting. Will definitely book again! Thank you”
“Lisa continues to be a great help to our family. Lucy knows her well now and always comes home in a great mood and a bit tuckered out. I miss Lucy so much while we are away but with the updates throughout her stay, I can see she's having just as much fun, if not more, on her vacation too.”
“She takes excellent care of the dogs and pays close attention while under her care - truly a gift! very sweet person and makes me feel comfortable knowing my dog is safe with her 💚”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lori. She takes such great care of my very fussy Dora. My dog ran right into her house for her second overnight visit. She obviously loves going there. Thank you Lori.”
“We love Karen! Bruno always has a great time staying with her, we use Karen’s services for him every time we go away. This time around she trimmed his nails for me which I am very very grateful for. Thanks Karen!!”
“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”
“Ganesh did a great job taking care of my dog Luna for over 2 weeks when I was on vacation. She's happy and looks great, unlike another dog I had that I left in a shelter a few years ago. He provided frequent updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry about her. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.”

“Alexis is loved by my Casey! Alexis is an in charge caring, competent alpha animal sitter. We have had the pleasure of using her twice and she’ll be our first pick for our return Lancaster visits. So grateful to have found Alexis. Thank you again!”
About: When you bring your pets to stay with us they won’t want to leave. My son (10) loves animals and is excited to help me with pets that come stay with us. I am in and out throughout the day so the schedule you have for your pet should be easily accommodated. If you are crate training or typically leave your pup crated while you are out I will follow the same routines that you would at home. I have a large unfenced yard that we can play ball with your pup or he/she can zip around to get the zoomies out of their system.
“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”
