“Grace was amazing. She watched our two furry babies over the weekend. She kept in touch, sent pictures and there was no shortage of cuddling. Will definitely book Grace again”


“Liz was awesome! She took great care of our 3 fur babies! We contacted her with little notice and she was so accommodating and willing to travel to help us out! She was awesome! I would definitely recommend her!”


“He was exceptional. I booked last minute and he was able to watch my fur baby Manny. I was able to enjoy time with my family without having to worry about the hotel calling because Manny was alone and barking loudy. I recommend using him.”


About: Growing up i lived on a farm in which I had several pets ranging from very small to very large.. I absolutely love animals of all kinds.. I have a yard and my house has lots of walk ways Beautiful place to take a stroll... I am home full time other than picking up and dropping off my 11 yearold at school... I take frequent trips to the dog park and often go to the park for walks.... I am able to give plenty potty breaks , walks, lovin and lots of cuddles... Feeding schedules and routine walks if needed can be provided as well! I would be more than happy to love your pets cat or dog while your working on vacation or just needing a break... I am totally capable of sitting at my home as well as yours! Whatever makes you comforatable im all for it. Hope i can help you out in anyway and maybe you keep me as your full time pet sitter! ? I am a stay at home mom so having your baby/babies all day is what I am able to do! Keeping your pet on a stable and home life schedule so that you can go on vacation or family gathering etc. I have a big yard but I have no fence. Your baby will be taken out on a leash for walks and restroom breaks for mine and their safety.

About: I have been taking care animals since i was 5 years old and so i became a vet tech. Now i am living a dream Pet care fits in my schedule because this is what I do every day for work. I have been a veterinary tech for 2 years I have 2 acres fenced in yard for your fur babies to run around play all day. I will care for babies just like my own

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for different neighbors! I myself have chickens and a cat right now but I have had fish, dogs, and bunnies also! Currently in PA school on rotations and have lots of free time in between shifts and classes so I can be available whenever it is all just kind of random! I am very sweet with animals and like to give them lots of love! I will cuddle with them and also love going on lots of walks!

About: On walks, I’ve been known to smile at dogs yet frown at the owners. Not really, but it’s true that seeing pets on walks is my motivation for doing them in the first place. I only have one little pupper (Bella) who is 14 years old! Although she has the energy of a toddler, the way she follows me into any room any time I’m in the house is something I’ll miss when she’s gone. We take walks daily, and I’m careful not to over feed her or harm her in any way. Even though this is my first app, I think the foundation of trust and looking for any signs the lore is showing (as well as my clear communication with pet and owner)

About: I love dogs of all kinds. I understand the seperation anxiety a dog can experience when their owners are away and will do everything I can to make them feel comfortable. I don't have any children in the house but lots of toys for the four legged babies to play with. My house is very dog friendly with cushie pillows and dogs beds to snuggle in. I provide fleece blankets for the dogs to lay on if they're not comfortable on the pillows or dog beds. Even with a huge fenced backyard, I will always go out with the dogs to play with them and make sure they stay safe. I have two dogs of my own to keep you dog company. Your dog will feel lots of love until you return.

“Madison was great over Thanksgiving weekend! She kept us updated through out our trip and made us feel safe leaving our dogs at home while we traveled. I hope to use her for future trips.”


“Arameus did a wonderful job staying with our fur babies while we were out of town. He was punctual, responded quickly to text with updates on how things were going and sent pictures of the animals to me. Would definitely recommend him if you need a sitter for your fur babies!! We will be using him again❤️”


About: We are a military couple who have a small hobby farm and love animals! We have 3 goats and a miniature horse who live on our property. Additionally, we have 4 cats, 2 of which require speciality care and a German shepherd mix dog! We have experience caring for equines, small animals, cats and dogs! We also have cat rescue experience having volunteered for a cat rescue for 9 years! We have fostered cats in the past as well! My wife is currently studying for the bar exam and thus has a very flexible schedule! I would be able to join on weeknights and on the weekends! We have three fenced in paddocks. Our dog loves to run around in the backyard. For our cats, we have four litter boxes that get scooped daily and provide them with wet food at night!

“Lauren was wonderful with my fur baby. She sent pics and videos, checked in with me daily. She went above and beyond to make sure things were great while I was away. I will definitely book with Lauren again.”


“Holi was great. She was very accommodating when my travel plans required her to stay an extra night. She sent pictures ans updates of my girls regularly.”

“Kelly did a great job with my dog Bogart. Her yard is totally fenced in and reinforced at the ground level, so I didn't have to worry about him digging under the fence and wandering off.

I will definitely use Kelly again”
