“Sophia was wonderful. You can tell she truly loves dogs by the way she interacts with them. I had to find someone last minute to come in and check-on Pennie. She was prompt in getting back to me and came right over the next morning for a meet and greet. She sent me updates and photos of Pennie which was great. I would highly recommend her and will be using her when I need a sitter for Pennie .”


About: I had many types of animals growing up, including cats and dogs. As an adult, I had a cat named Ava and a dog named Elphie. I rescued Ava from a local shelter, and she lived to be 20 years old. I raised Elphie from a puppy. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge at age 16. I have experience caring for both young and senior animals and experience administering medications. I am a mom to twins and a local teacher. During the school year I am able to care for pets in the evenings and on weekends. During the summer my availability is much more open. I love all of the animals that I care for as if they were my own. Cats and dogs are the most wonderful pets. They provide us with years of cuddles and laughter.


About: I've never not had a dog. As a child I assisted my parents with pet care for dogs and many other animals. Growing up at different times we had hamsters, rabbits, birds, etc., but we always had a dog. By my 20s I got my first cat and by my mid 20s I got married and adopted my first dog in my adult life (RIP Kora). I've cared for dogs from puppyhood and training through to senior and end of life care. In my 44 years I've run the gamut of dog care from feeding, bathing, medicines, fleas and tick care, walking, and even more unsavory things like dealing with skunk sprays. I'm a mom to four fur babies (2 dogs & 2 cats) as well as 2 human teenagers. And I'm a wife to my wonderful husband who is trained in the medical field. "A house is not a home without a dog" I'm a full-time homemaker and crafter. Unless I'm running a kid somewhere I'm home and available for your pup. Dogs will have access to the backyard to do their business, run around, and play. I have a decent sized fenced and secure yard for your dog to run around in. If I'm coming to your house, my own dogs will be attended to at home by my family. If you're coming to my house a meet and greet is required as my older dog can be curmudgeonly and is picky about which dogs she wants to get along with. We will know how she feels within the first 10 seconds of meeting. She is a 10 year old rescue mutt. I also have a 2 year old rescue male who is a big furry lovable ball of energy. Both of my dogs are altered and up to date on their shots. Dogs coming to my home must be cat friendly.

“Our cat seemed to do very well with Dana's care. Her schedule was flexible and she kept us updated and provided pictures that made us feel well connected. When we arrived home every thing was perfect and there were no issues to deal with.”


About: -Senior care -Topical and oral medications -Hyperactive pets -Fearful pets Along with my family pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, birds), I have had three years of experience in the pet care industry. I started as a volunteer at Tabby's Place, a shelter for disabled and sick cats in Ringoes, NJ. I worked there for two years before starting my college career at Agnes Scott. Over the summers, I work as a Kennel Assistant at a veterinary clinic in Langhorne, PA. There, I work with anxious cats and dogs, and pets who needed daily topical and oral medications. During my time caring for animals at home and in the industry, I have also gained experience caring for both senior and hyperactive pets. I am currently a full-time student and a member of Agnes Scott's NCAA Volleyball team. My classes are scheduled from 10am-1pm on weekdays, and volleyball practices in the evenings from 4:30-7pm. Any weekend travel games are blacked out on my schedule. I live with my cat full time at school. I pride myself on ensuring my pets' safety and comfort by seeing the world from their eyes. My cat has ample space to run and play, both independently and interactively. Due to limited space in dorms, I ensure her spaces are both hygienic and interesting for her. I ensure that your pets will feel pampered and loved in my care. They are your family--nothing less will do!

“Elizabeth went above & beyond! A family situation caused last minute changes and she was so helpful. She took AMAZING care of both my pups and communication was fantastic. I will definitely reach out when I need a sitter again.”

About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility, or “dog hotel”, as well as a veterinary clinic where I was in charge of caring for both dogs and cats. Walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them while ensuring their safety was part of my job. I also pet-sit for friends and family often. I currently work on my own schedule doing freelance art, so I’m using this to supplement my income. So, my schedule is free to work around yours. Whatever your normal routine is with your dog, I can follow it. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs, and I don’t mind if they are the energetic type and just want to play all day or if they’re the type to lounge around and sleep all day.

“Danielle is great! She was so caring and patient with our puppy. I look forward to booking her again! Feel very comfortable with her caring for Kona.”


About: I grew up around both cats and dogs, but got my first dog as an adult this October which instantly changed my life. I love spending time and taking care of my dog and want to help other people provide extra love to their dogs. I work from home 2-3 days a week and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, regular walks, and consistent care throughout the day. When I walk someone else’s dog, I treat them like my own - making sure they feel safe, go at their own pace, and have a fun, relaxed time outside.

Olivia O.
“So we have a one year old Dalmatian and a one year old Pug. If we go away for one night or seven we have Olivia stay at our house and watch our boys for us. Our Dalmatian can be a hand full but she handles him perfectly. She walks them both even if we don't ask but its greatly appreciated. We trust her 100 percent with our dogs and staying at our house. If you need someone to take care of your pets Olivia would be a great choice!”

Super easy to deal with responsive and ultra reliable. Just hope she’s happy enough with me to consider covering future business trips & vacations.

Carol is the best!! Daisy is very shy but is so comfortable with Carol that she greets her right away when she comes through the door👍🏻

We had the most pleasant and amazing experience with Annika. She did an outstanding job and took excellent care of our cats while we were away. We definitely plan to use her services again for future trips.

Debbie is everything you want in a caregiver for your pet. Reliable, communicative and caring. Would give 10 stars if it was an option.

Lauren B. is an amazing pet sitter! I had confidence in her from the moment she walked into the house for an initial visit. She took notes on everything I showed her and told her about my pets. After we left for our trip and we started receiving updates, my initial impression was confirmed. Her visits were timely and regular, her updates were thorough, and she followed my instructions to a T. She even stayed with my dog through a thunderstorm to keep her calm! Very highly recommended. Thank you, Lauren!

Stephanie was wonderful, respectful and responsible, and our cats warmed up to her, even our shy one.

Diane takes such good care of our puppy Bunny! She has been caring for her the last few months and goes above and beyond what we ask of her. She is prompt at communication and extremely reliable! Our neighbors even comment on how great Diane is in her care for our puppy. We’d recommend her to everyone.

Sharon is so reliable, and loving to our kitty. She cleaned up when Shayna broke something and handles everything calmly and confidently. It eased my mind knowing Shayna was in good hands!! And I love the photos and notes she sends!

Lisa was absolutely fabulous!! We had her watch our four cats through drop in visits. She was extremely reliable, always on time, took extra time to make sure they were doing ok, and communicated to us regularly along with pictures while we were on vacation! Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Lisa!!
