“Cari was incredible with all my animals even had a situation with my older cat and she took care of him and kept me posted and sent photos. I would recommend her to anybody. She’s sweet and kind and responsible.”
“Micah was awesome! He got along great with our Ruby and Lily. He asked all the right questions. When we were away and he wasn’t sure of something, he asked. He was a trooper with our Ruby who is afraid of bad weather and he handled it awesomely. He picked up after himself and left the house in great condition. Highly recommend!”

“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”
“We're fairly new to PA & needed someone to come house sit with our dog & cat while on vacation. Melisha was available during our anticipated days away & from her profile/bio she seemed a good fit. I booked a meet-n-greet & while speaking with her in person, I knew she was THE one to watch Gunther & Honey. She's very personable, very knowledgeable, and experienced. I had requested she send daily pictures & updates, & that's exactly what she did - kept in daily communication (unlike other sitters I've had in the past). She also walked Gunther daily, & fed him at my requested times to keep his schedule as close to normal as possible. I will be booking Melisha again to watch our fur babies during future trips out of town! She was excellent, & I highly recommend her!!!”

“Delaney watched my dog, Roxie, while we went away for about five days. She did a great job in communicating. Roxie was well taken care of, was happy and had a full bowl of water when we got home. I will definitely ask Delaney to watch my dog again in the future.”

“Jennifer provided punctual, courteous and attentive service for our dogs Leia and Rambo during my daughter's wedding rehearsal and reception. On short notice, Jennifer responded to my last minute request for help to sit with our service dogs in our room at the Liberty Mountain Resort. I highly recommend Jennifer and thank her so much for being patient and supportive during such an important and special event.”

My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.

Linda M.
“We had a wonderful experience with Linda as our pet sitter for our three fur babies! We’ve relied on her for both drop-in visits and staying overnight, and she’s consistently been trustworthy, punctual, and friendly, with very reasonable pricing. Linda treated our dogs like her own, which gave us such peace of mind. She also shared her extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including large and small dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. She’s also helped us bring in the mail and bring our trash cans to the curb while we were away. We wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation! Thanks for all that you do for us, Linda! :-) <3 Ryan, Noelle, Ryder, Noki, and Poe”
Zoe H.
“Zoe is kind, dependable, and was a very neat house guest. She took great care of our two dogs and I would highly recommend her for dog/house sitting services!”
Jeremy F.
“As Jeremy's neighbor, I've seen firsthand how much he cares for animals. He's always been the first to offer help when someone's pet gets loose or needs a little extra attention. I remember one time when my cat, Oliver, got stuck in a bush, and Jeremy didn't hesitate to rescue him. He's incredibly patient and gentle, and animals seem to gravitate towards him. I often see him playing with his own dog, and it's clear that he understands their needs and knows how to make them happy. Knowing that Jeremy is looking after your pets would give you complete peace of mind. He's not just a pet sitter; he's a true animal lover.”

Elizabeth D.
“Elizabeth is our daughter and has grown up with dogs, literally since her life began. We have had a German shepherd since her birth and she absolutely loves dogs. When our VERY WELL BEHAVED german shepherd died February of 2020 we decided to try a new breed. (that is not nearly as well behaved) And she adapted accordingly and is also excellent with our very naughty Soft coated Wheaton terrier. I know she’s our daughter BUT she loves dogs and is GREAT with them & I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog care either for a well behaved or somewhat more challenging dog!”

Jasmine L.
“I am writing this letter of recommendation for Jasmine Lane. “Jaz” has worked for our family for a few years taking care of our three dogs and cat. Jaz is reliable, trustworthy, and very flexible. She goes above and beyond, and treats our pets like they are her own. We completely trust her to come in and out of our home to protect our pets, and home as well. We have a golden retriever, a chocolate lab, a mutt, and a domestic long-haired cat. Jaz handles our gang with ease, and they all love her and listen to her well. I highly recommend Jaz for all of your pet care needs.”
