“Lisa spoils our pup and cats every time she watches them! All three of them just love her, and we love the peace of mind we get from knowing she’s with them while we are away! She sends lots of pictures and updates which are always so appreciated 😊 thank you, Lisa!!”

“Alexandra was very professional and took excellent care of our dog, sent pics, kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. Could not ask for anything better when it comes to taking care of our pup!”

“Hayley was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our three golden retrievers for 4 days, sending daily updates with pictures that really put my mind at ease. I always worry when we travel, but she made me feel so much better knowing our dogs were in great hands. She gave special care to our senior dog who’s turning 16 soon. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Highly recommend Hayley — we’d book her again!”

“Camryn was absolutely wonderful! She was able to meet and exceed all our expectations! Our pups absolutely loved her and she took the best care of them! We will definitely be asking Camryn to watch our girls again.”

“Summer watched our tripod Husky while we were out of the country. She was communicating with us throughout the stay. She did a few extras and visited our cats and brought the trash to the street for us. I would have Summer watch our pets again!”

“Jaclyn was so kind and loving to my animals, I barely thought about them knowing they were in such good hands! She was respectful and gave me a lot of updates (pictures). Would definitely book again! Thanks ?”

“Sara was great! She sent pictures during her stay showing all the fun activities she did with Wally. The house was left in perfect condition. It was awesome not worrying about my "boys". Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old! From helping my Dalmatian live his last years to the fullest, to raising my 2 beautiful boys!! Onyx who is a 6 year old black lab and Rocky who is a 4 year old pit-bull! No dog is too much of a hassle for me! I am currently taking a class for school that ends at 9am on weekdays with open weekends! While working as a professional house keeper whenever my clients need me which is completely flexible! I take pride in guaranteeing your pet(s) are loved and cared for while you are out of the house!! I am able to take care anything you need just communicate it to me!!
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Nicole was able to accommodate our last minute request when our previous arrangements fell through. She is friendly and knowledgeable with pets. She provided updates and sent us pictures of the fur babies. We will be having her watch our crew again for sure!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my 32 years of experience, beginning in my teenage years when I cared for neighbors’ dogs. As a dog owner myself, I hold myself to high standards and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Due to working in a school full time, I have the most availability in the summer and winter breaks. In addition, I am available evenings for drop ins and weekends for house sitting. At the present time, I am not offering boarding- but this is subject to change. My three year old golden retriever lives with me and is always eager to make new friends, ensuring a fun and social environment for your dog. Based in NEPA, I focus on providing personalized, loving care for each dog I look after. I look forward to hearing from you! If you choose house sitting, please note that I do need to bring my well behaved quiet golden retriever. I do have a travel dog crate I can bring to keep her confined for your peace of mind. As someone who loves pets and takes great pride in caring for my own, pet care is always a top priority in my daily routine. When it comes to your pet, it becomes my first obligation as well. I follow a strict feeding schedule for my one dog—once at 7 a.m. and again at 5 p.m; meanwhile, my other dog is a graze eater and has food in her dish 24/7. We also dedicate at least an hour to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, relaxing while watching TV, or playing with stuffed animals, sometimes more often than not a lot more than an hour. Rest assured, your pet will receive all the care and love they deserve! I prioritize a consistent schedule and routine for both my pets and client pets, which includes regular feeding, playtime, relaxation, and walks. Safety is my top priority, and I ensure that your pet is well cared for in a secure environment. In my home or yours, I have crates, multiple rooms, and gates available to provide space for pets to relax if they need some time alone or if they become too rambunctious. Rest assured, your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well attended to while in my care. I cultivate a more homey environment for my pets and dogs I watch, which sets me apart from kennel life.
“Victoria was great and accommodating! She took great care of our animals and responded to our requests without hesitation. Sent photos and checked in adequately. Would highly recommend and will use her again in the future when needed.”
