“Angelita was super friendly, energetic, positive, and welcoming this week. Our dogs were happy to get to her place and begin exploring every morning. Thank you, Angelita, for five great days!”
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“D was amazing!! She took care of my puppy and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. 10/10 would recommend. She was very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating!”
“Mai was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue and took great care of her while we were in town for our daughter’s college graduation. She has a beautiful space for pups and is so kind. Highly recommend Mai!!!”
“Gwendoline saved our lives. We needed a last minute daycare sitter after our "pet friendly" hotel gave us a problem about our dog barking. Fortunately, Gwendoline was available last minute and agreed to care for our pups for the day so we could do touristy things out in Lancaster. She supplied photo updates and really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our weekend away in Lancaster knowing our pups were in good hands. We picked them up after our Sight & Sound show and the pups were happy and sleepy. We plan to make our Lancaster trip an annual family holiday and are so happy we found an amazing sitter to take care of our girls when we're in town!”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“Luca really enjoyed his time with Megan & Vitaliy, judging from the numerous videos I received from Megan during his day! Thank you so much for dog-sitting Luca!”

About: I have never been without a dog in my life! I love dogs more than most anything! They give such unconditional love. I spend most of my free time with dogs. Whether that’s training them , showing them or just laying on the couch cuddle them. I am a very caring person that is very attentive to pets needs. I grew up on a farm. I have experience with all sizes of dogs.I am a preservation breeder of bloodhounds( last litter 6 years ago sadly). There’s nothing better than being in a whelping box with puppies climbing all over you. I have experience caring for every age dog, as well as different health issues. I’ve also worked as a vet tech and have a lot of veterinary experience from changing wound dressings to administering pills and shots. Although not certified I have been training dogs my entire life. I am also an empath and have special connections with animals . I can tune into what they need and read body language . I believe in holistic health for people and pets. If you have a pet that needs special food ( raw, cooked, live) I have no issue with that. I treat my dogs like my children. They have a schedule, they are fed, exercised and have nap time and bed time consistently everyday. They live in my house with me. Currently have 3 bloodhounds ( 9,7&7 mo) and one cat who thinks he’s a dog😊 I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I have time late mornings (10-3)afternoon and evenings after 6 for pet visits and walks. My dogs are treated like family . I do believe in consistency whether that’s their routine or in their training. They are loved and spoiled but are also made to behave appropriately. Although bloodhounds do like to test the limits. lol I would treat your family pet the same with love , patience and consistency.
About: Pets are part of one’s family . Their daily antics bring such delight . Be it puppy, kittens or adult stage . Love them all . To me pets help make a house a home . I am recently retired and need a to fill some of my time and looking after pets seems to be my niche. Feeding , walking and spending some time to sit and visit with them to keep them from missing their families while they are away . I have had pets all my life . We do not have a fenced lawn so dogs will be leashed while outside . We live in a neighborhood with not a lot of car traffic . Cats , will live sitting in the big front window or in the sunroom with lots of windows . Plenty soft spots for the fur babies to take a nap .

Diane J.
“Diane loves animals. Even animals which are not ours will come to her first. Our grown children have pets. They all run to “grandma” when they see her coming. She plays with them and talks to them. We have babysat cats and dogs of nieces, nephews, and other family members. Prior to our marriage, Diane had a cat and a dog. The dog had passed away prior to our marriage. She treated both pets as family members. You could see the love she had for Snuggles (the cat). The name fit the relationship. We went to the Humane League and adopted a dog named Tasha. Tasha fit right in with our family. Tasha was a sick dog when we adopted her. The vet said do not get too attached because she isn’t going to make it. Well, Diane nursed her 24 hours a day and gave the medicine the vet provided. We took her back to the vet and he could not believe how healthy Tasha was. He said it was a miracle. After both pets passed, we received a phone call from our daughter. At her work the found two young kittens in a dumpster. She knew who to call. Diane took them in and made them part of our family. Iddy and Buddy provided us a lot of love. When moved to Hawaii they went with us. They loved the eight years in Hawaii as much as we did. We came back to Pennsylvania 6 years ago. Unfortunately Iddy passed 2 years ago and Buddy passed last year. She cared for them until it was time to let them pass. Diane had one lady who would hire Diane to take care of her 2 dogs and an outside cat who lived in a barn. She had to put out food for the barn cat and make sure it was back in the barn at night. The dogs were outside on a leash for part of the day. She fed them twice a day inside and had to give the one dog medicine in the morning. As you have read, Diane is an animal lover. She should have been a veterinarian. We have been without a pet. Now that we have the time to travel, since we retired, she would like to provide her love to other family’s pets. Diane is the perfect person for a family looking to take care of their pet(s). They will not find a better person to love or care for their pet(s).”
