“This is our second time with Melanie! We had a 14 day vacation and she took care of our fur babies in our home so both our dogs and we felt comfortable on the lengthy time apart. She is responsive and gives updates throughout the time with our pets. Came home to a surprise Santa photo with the dogs which was super cute! She is respectful of our home and we trust her. Thank you again Melanie! Astro and Alani will look forward to our next planned vacation without them!”
“Cassidy was responsive in her initial communication with our initial inquiry for our first booking. On the day of our visit, she kept us in the loop when she was on her way and when she was leaving. She provided photos and feedback during her visit. Our pets seemed happy and content when we arrived back home. We will definitely book Cassidy again when we need a pet sitter!”
“Brittany was an absolutely wonderful sitter!! She was incredibly punctual and communicative, sending many photos and updates throughout her weekend stay at our home with our dog, Huck! She communicated when she was going to need to step out for other personal obligations and was clear about how long she’d be gone and when she’d be back. She kept Huck’s routine & schedule top of mind and always made him a priority to ensure he was fed & well exercised. When we returned home, Huck was extremely relaxed and happy - a clear sign of a great weekend while we were away and he had no signs of distress. Our home was immaculately clean, like no one had been here or moved anything, and she even went above and beyond to bring our trash and recycling bins in after trash day. We loved working with Brittany and hope she will come stay with Huck again next time we need a sitter - highly recommend!!”
About: I have been house sitting and watching animals since I have been in middle school. I have also had a dog since I was in kindergarten with my family adopting a new puppy there years ago which I helped train. I am a college student taking a summer class at Lebanon Valley College which leaves me free all day on the weekends and on Wednesdays in which there is no class. I am also available to stop by for a bit in the evenings after class lets out. I love playing with dogs and would love to any type of dog on a walk/run and promise that I will be able to tire out the dog before I do. I very familiar with how to clean up after pets and will maintain a safe and clean environment
“Amanda was very through and communicated daily via messages and photos. The dogs really enjoyed her stay with them. Would use again! Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 2 years old and started caring for others pets since I was a teenager. I have worked with children and training service animals as well as fostering pets for a few years. I am an animal person more so than I am a people person, which makes me the ideal companion for your furry pal and all of their needs. I was a stay at home mother, but my kids are both starting school this year so I will have all the spare time in the world to come and take care of your pup. I am available weekdays from 7am-7pm and weekends on a case by case basis. I specialize in walk training and helping your dog get as comfortable as they can be. I have my own leashes and harness if needed, but can use yours if your furry friend prefers. I love to play with toys and can help them get the exercise their body craves.

Her patience and gentle approach made my cats feel comfortable, and they even ate treats from her (which one definitely does not usually do). I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone who has shy special needs cats!”

About: I have always had animals in my life (dogs, cats, etc.) I n my experience through pets I can bathe, walk, feed, and do the basics for the animal(s) needs! I am a college student that means my schedule is simple. So any weekday after the afternoon (1pm-10pm) and anytime on weekends (mornings, afternoons, evenings) I have experience through my own animals/pets! I am a big animal lover so I usually am respectful towards them and their feelings, but your home as well!
“My dog and two cats did so well with Alena! She was attentive to all their needs and even brought over her laser pointer to play with the cats. She was responsive all weekend and shared daily pupdates. We'd love to have her back!”
About: I have taken care of many animals through out my life and i’ve had them ever since I was 5 so I am confident in knowing how to take care of someone else’s pets and the value of how important it is. I have many skills and experience with animals. I love being an asset to my community and love to make a difference I am currently in school for Vet Tech through YTI and I am remote, so I have plenty of time to take care of lovely animals, my hours are very flexible. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats but they are very friendly and would love to play with a new furry friend, my pets are very spoiled so other pets will get the very same treatment! I love taking dogs for walks and enjoy playing with animals and giving them the attention they desire. I will also travel if your fur baby needs a sitter. I have a trail behind my house in the woods where my dogs love to walk, and i’m sure your dog would too! I love playing with cats, they are lovely purring friends. I don’t cage my dogs but if your fur baby needs crated I already have crates.
About: I am a huge animal lover! I have owned dogs my entire childhood but sadly I own none now. I have trained my pets as service animals for nursing homes as well as teaching them fun tricks! I understand that all animals need consistency in their schedules and with training. Trust me with their care and to keep up with their daily routines with each visit. I currently work from home Monday mornings, Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. I am able to stop by your home to provide long walks and play time. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I am free most days. I live by a park with a large farm, no fence. Your pet would get free range or on a lease to run around supervised. I own two indoor-only cats. They won't come out to play with your fury friends because they are too scared of strangers.
“What can I say besides Cassandra was great!!! We were gone for a week and Cassandra gave us regular updates and pictures of our girls. Our dogs have a lot of little quirks and Cassandra had no issues with any of them. She was so good that our dogs were even looking for her to come back even though we were home. Thank you for the great care you gave our girls. We will definitely use her again.”
