“Nicole really deserves more than a five. This was our first time with Nicole and we felt comfortable after the meet and greet. We were very relaxed on vacation knowing our dog was with Nicole.”


“Julia was wonderful! She kept us updated on the dogs while we were gone, which eased our worries. Highly recommend using her to watch your pets.”


“Charles is the BEST!! We had him care for our dogs over the last 5 days. Our dogs had top notch care while we were gone. Charles truly cares about the animals that he cares for, sends photos and updates and asks questions where needed. It’s been a pleasure to know they were cared for in their own home where they were comfortable. Thank you Charles!! We appreciate you and look forward to our next trip without the anxiety of not knowing who to contact for our pet sitter needs! We will definitely be in touch in the future.”


“My dog is anxious and takes time to warm up to people and Aimee did a great job helping him get comfortable before and during the trip. She was an excellent communicator with us while we were gone!”


“Katrina did an awesome job with 3 dogs and a cat. 1 of our dogs is very very nervous and scared but she was patient, Talked kindly to him and he even allowed her to pick him up. It was a great experience.”


“Taylor did a fabulous house/dog sitting job for us. She sent daily updates along with photos of Dillon. She took the time to brush Dillon a few times too and I loved coming home after vacation to a clean house. I Highly recommend Taylor!”


“Emily was incredible with Lilly. She was so patient and kind especially when Lilly was nervous with us being gone. We were so thankful that Emily was there. We would highly recommend her services ?”



“Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life everything from a loyal German Shepherd to an energetic Lab, a playful Pit Bull, and even a Basenji. I’ve always connected especially well with larger, high energy dogs, and I genuinely love going on long walks with them. Whether it’s a calm drop-in or an active adventure, I tailor the care to your dog’s needs. I’ve helped care for pets through drop-in visits, walks, and extended in-home stays. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, responsive, and always keep you in the loop with photos and updates. If your dog needs exercise, attention, or just a friendly face while you’re away I’ve got you covered! I currently have a full time job and the time varies when I have my shift. Typically I work earlier in the morning so I would have plenty of time to walk and check up on your dog after I am done with my shift. If I do have a later shift in the day I am a morning person so I would be more than happy to also do the same with walking or checking up early in the morning. I am very good with dogs in the home and do not get easily frightened with any dog if they are a little hostile. I would not be able to do anything at my own home but rest assured anything with your own home I will take great care of your dog in the home.

“Ellora was fantastic, came home to happy dogs. Sent pictures that made us feel our dogs were doing great without us home! Even gave our cat some loving on his final journey.”


“Terren is amazing! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, and the vast majority of our pets are rescues, old, or both. This means dealing with grouchy old animals who need medications! My wife and I went to a wedding and the pictures we got back from home were unlike anything we'd seen with other pet sitters. The pets were actually okay and happy!”



“Greg did a great job watching our English Mastiff - Silas. We will be contacting you again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our big boy.”


About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.

“Katherine is amazing! It was our extreme pleasure to find her and have her take care of our fur babies! I knew that I didn’t have to worry about them in Katherine’s care!”


About: I have taken in many strays since I was young and have cared for them until they found a loving home. I have three dogs who love to exercise, go for walks, and lounge around while cuddling. If you let me, I would love to do the same for your loved one! I am looking to care as much as I can while I am in PA school. I plan to continue when I graduate to give myself a break from real people. I love all fur babies! As a PA student my rotations change monthly and we get randoms days off. If i can fill my time with caring for your baby with no distraction I will. I have fenced in yard for fur babies to roam around, I also have two dogs that can keep them company but can be crated if needed.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and take very good care of them. I have helped trained my dog with the invisible fence and help him with commands. I walk my dog everyday and make sure he is fed for breakfast and dinner. I come home and let my dog out to go to the bathroom at any breaks I have during my day. I care for my dog because they need taken care of just like us. I make sure that when I see something that is off about my pet to take initiative.

“Absolutely Amazing!! Will definitely only be hiring her again to watch ANY AND ALL of my dogs when we need any sort of care. She was extremely thorough. I have a senior dog, a “special needs dog”- epileptic but young and playful, AND A a dog under two years old. They are well mannered but we have a care routine that she followed so thoroughly that made me relaxed as a worried pet mom. Thank you so much!!”


“Joe watched our dog for nearly a month, coming several times a day, and also helped look after a few things around our home. Recommended”
