About: I stand out from other pet sitters because I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so you’ll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, providing extra playtime, or giving nervous pets the patience they need, I go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel completely at ease. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy, and I do this full time to make sure your pets are always cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or overnight care, I’m always here when you need reliable, attentive care. I will keep pets safe by following owner instructions, supervising closely, maintaining routine, using leashes, restricting access, and monitoring health and behavior constantly carefully daily.

“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”

“Camryn was vey attentive and kind. My cat Rory felt comfortable with her and Camryn always made sure to keep me in the loop when she would drop in for a visit and send photos :) Definitely took great care of Rory and is my new go-to caretaker <3”

“Suzanne did an excellent job with our three cats. We met in advance and introduced her to them. She cared for them so well that I was able to enjoy time with my family and not worry. Her ability to visit multiple times a day ensured our senior girls received all their meds in a timely manner. I highly recommend her and would use her again!”

About: I have watched and cared for puppies through senior dogs, performed basic grooming needs, administered medications, and watched many different breeds including corgis, pitbull mixes, french bulldogs, and larger mixed breeds. I currently work from home, mostly second shift, with a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I have Internet, I am able to work from almost anywhere (within reason obviously lol). I am often up late, but don’t mind early morning walks. I currently reside at home with family in an in-law suite that has the capability to be closed off from the rest of the house. This addition has two of its own entrances with access to both a large front and backyard. I have an SUV so I am able transport crates and larger breeds if needed. I am also able to provide care in your own home that will be up to your standards and conveys that I will treat your animal(s) as I would my own.
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.
About: I've had a plethora of animals over my 35 years of existence. Dog breeds include a Labrador, Border Collie, Beagle, German Shepard, and Chihuahua. Other species include six rats, one guinea pig, three rabbits, two corn snakes, and a bearded dragon. I do not have any children, and I'm living with my father. Together, we have two dogs, (one his, and the other mine), a garage cat (his), and a bearded dragon (mine). His dog is a German Shepard named Wren, and mine is a Chihuahua named Milo. Additionally, I quit the job I've had for years, so I have a fairly flexible schedule. All of our animals have schedules for everything. Potty breaks, food times, etc. We keep it fairly strict, but also know how to read our animals, and so the schedule is subject to slight changes. I can adapt, and learn new schedules for clients.
“Chance is THE BEST!! Highly recommend him. My cat is normally pretty shy but Chance is like the cat whisperer. This was a repeat booking and I plan to continue to use him in the future.”

About: Lifelong animal lover with a goofy, friendly husky who keeps me active and smiling every day! Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love are already part of my routine, and I would love to share that with your fur baby too. Your pet will be treated like family in my care—whether they need exercise, attention, belly rubs, or just a comfy companion. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus: my husky loves making new friends, and I also share his funny adventures on social media for fellow pet lovers to enjoy! I dedicate quality time to every pet and treat pet care seriously—whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or dog boarding. I make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, comfort, and care based on their needs. You’ll also receive lots of picture updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Communication is very important to me, and I always keep pet parents updated and informed. I offer dog boarding in a safe home with a fenced yard for plenty of supervised playtime, as well as walks and house sitting. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will make sure they receive lots of exercise, love, and care, along with regular photo updates.
“Nicole was phenomenal! She gave my diabetic cat her insulin injections while I was away. She was very responsive and sent updates which eased any worries I had. I didn’t need care for my dog this time around but next time I do, I will be reaching out to her in particular. You can tell she cares about animals so you know your babies will be in good hands. If you’re in need of any care I would definitely recommend her!”

“I contacted Montana for Drop in Visits for my two high energy dogs. She communicated clearly, was wonderful with the pups, got them fed, walked and spent time playing with them. I got great photos and updates throughout the visit. I highly recommend her!”

About: Growing up I’ve always been around dogs. Taking care of them has been in my daily routine since I can remember. Throughout my high school years I dog sat frequently which allowed me to get experience with all types of breeds. I am currently a college student & miss having animals in my daily life & will care for your pets like they are my own. In the summers I am a giraffe attendant at a wildlife park & my past two years at school I have worked at a dairy farm. I am currently a student at Delaware Valley University. I am also a student athlete, I run cross country & track & field. So my schedule varies weekly. But I have lots of flexibility to make visits. I will treat all pets like they are my own. I will meet all the requirements the owners ask of me & make their animal my number one priority when I am with them.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent currently sharing my home with 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bunny, and a chinchilla. My family lovingly calls me the cat whisperer—but the truth is, animals of all kinds seem to feel at ease around me. With a lifetime of caring for pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your furry (or fluffy!) family members. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special care routines, I provide the same love and attention I give my own pets. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch—I'd love to meet your pets! I work from home and have a pretty flexible work schedule so your dog will be able to go outside multiple times a day, or whenever it needs to! While I have a large, open yard, it is unfenced—so for everyone’s safety, all visiting dogs are supervised at all times and never left outside unattended. My own two dogs are crate trained, and I use crates or safe indoor spaces as needed to ensure a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was younger. I’m good with all breeds and sizes. I love to dog walk and if your dog is older, im very patient and gentle. I have alot of free time so my schedule is very flexible. I work from home just make sure you let me know atleast a day if you cancel. I’m available on weekends and weekdays. I personally don’t have a dog of my own also my back yard isn’t fenced but there is a ton of room to walk or run. I only allow small dogs in my appartment. If your dog is big would have to come to your house
