“Erin is just the best! I am so thankful for all her help with boots due to my work travel and being in a long distance relationship with my partner. Erin allows me to not worry about boots when I am gone who is my most precious thing in my life!”


“Alina was great with my dog, Moose! She was prompt and made sure to take up the whole 30 minutes, and my dog really enjoyed her company! I would recommend Alina to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”


“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”


“Our cat adored Elisangela! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures and updates. She even checked to make sure our pet cam was working daily! Will definitely recommend her to all of our friends and will book her again when needed!”


“Katy is a true professional with a clear love for what she does and the animals she cares for! Our pup is a gentle giant who is nervous at baseline, and it took her no time at all to warm up to Katy. Her ability to learn the ins and outs of our Bailey in such a short time was remarkable, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is hesitant to leave their dog in anyone else’s care!”

About: I have had animals my entire life. What truly sets me apart is my attention to detail, consistency, and compassion. I’m not just reliable—I’m someone your pet will be excited to see every time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how much your pet means to you, and I care for them with the same love and respect I give my own. Caring for animals is a natural part of my day—it’s something I look forward to, not just a task to check off. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I prioritize their well-being in my daily routine. I stay organized, communicate with pet owners consistently, and always leave time for extra cuddles, games, or calming routines depending on the pet’s personality. Whether I’m walking dogs, visiting cats, or caring for multiple pets, I build my day around making them feel happy, safe, and loved. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar space. I follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and walking routes to any special needs or quirks your pet may have. I take time to build trust with each pet, offering gentle interaction, play, cuddles, or quiet companionship based on their personality. I ensure fresh water, clean food areas, and tidy litter boxes or outdoor spaces. I’m respectful of your home and always leave it just as I found it—or better. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, responsible hands.

“Xinrui has been absolutely amazing for drop-in visits for my dog! My dog is a senior with a serious health condition, and she was so accommodating to his pills and feeding schedule. Her updates are timely, I get great pictures and videos, and she is extremely reliable! I will definitely be using Xinrui in the future!”


“Annette has been outstanding. On time, communicates and loves the pup! Thank you!”


“Angela was great with our cats, even our anxious elder girl, and sent lots of pics and updates. 10/10 would book again! :)”


About: I have grown up with a dog and a cat my entire life, and have helped through the training puppy-stages into their senior years. My family recently got a puppy (corgi - named Bentley!) and I have enjoyed helping to train him and acclimate during all the stages of puppyhood. I am home for the summer as a student at Lehigh University, and I would love to help take good care of your pet(s)! I am a waitress so my schedule is subject to change but I have plenty of spare time to offer any help needed. Your pet’s safety and well being is my top priority. I am happy to follow any instructions for how you best want your pet to be taken care of.

I’m committed to making their time with me pawsitively fabulous I’m available all day and night on weekdays and all weekends and holidays as per my calendar setting. In addition, other than me, there is always someone at home to supervise your pet. I have a big yard and easy access to bike path for safe walking and playing. If the weather is not good. I still play with the pet indoors.

About: With more than 20 years of devoted experience in animal care, I have passionately focused on large breed dogs, both in kennels and through fostering and adoption within my home. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of special needs, and I take great pride in providing gentle, compassionate care along with basic obedience training and K9 CPR medical attention. I strive to ensure that every animal feels loved and valued, receiving the highest level of care and attention they truly deserve. I am currently working from home, which gives me the flexibility to create a tailored schedule that meets your needs. This allows me to provide continuous care for your pup around the clock, without any limitations on days, weekends, or holidays. Being an active individual, I ensure that your dog will receive ample exercise, engaging walks, and plenty of interactive playtime. Furthermore, I am dedicated to giving your furry friend the attention and companionship they deserve, fostering a happy and stimulating environment just for them. In my home, dogs are truly part of the family. They are welcome to lounge on the furniture and make themselves comfortable wherever they feel safe and at ease. I have an 8-year-old retired working dog who is calm and gentle, and he will be there to keep your pup company. I promise to create a warm and welcoming environment so that your furry friend feels right at home with us.

About: When i lived in Arizona i had taken care of many of my family friends dogs for many months at a time, i take care of my own dog here at home and i used to babysit a family who had a dog aswell. I am not working yet so my schedule is very flexible and i can pretty much work any day of the week other than some weekends. If the client wants their pet at my home, i have a dog named pepe who is very friendly with other dogs and has never had an issue. He is a little sweet white dog who is now 11 years old.

About: In addition to having dogs of my own over the years, I have dog-sat on many occasions from days to months at a time and always take it seriously while approaching it with fun and compassion. Additionally I have experience training service dogs and was the VP of my university's Guide Dog Society. My hours are currently very flexible and I can work around your schedule, doing days and times that fit best for you. Please let me know which time works and I can usually accommodate. I'm happy to care for dogs at your house, and espeically take them out for exercise. I can take them out for walks of any length and to the park to play fetch, etc.
