About: I have had pets since I was born and still do. I love taking care of them and enjoy their presence. They are my world. My best friend and I make sure that every pet gets the attention they deserve. We make it our responsibility to have their tails wagging and our hearts warm. I work a job that I’m only there for about 4 hours. Other than that I’ll be with your dogs and cats completely with my full attention. I feel all pets deserve walks and to be played with. I also give good cuddles!! Feeding whenever necessary and water bowl always filled. I also clean up the waste and brush hair/fur.

“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her.

About: For the past couple of years, I have been caring for family friends' pets while they go away. Additionally, I have grew up with pets since I was 6 months old. I will always seek an opportunity to make more furry friends and give them the love they deserve. I am available on the weekends to take care of your pets in order to allow you to go have fun on your weekends after a long week of work! I am very vigilant when it comes to identifying the needs and mood of your beloved furry friends in order to make them most comfortable, they can be.

About: I am an animal enthusiast! I've had pets my whole life. Pets I've had are dogs, cats, rabbits, fosh and snakes. I have 2 dogs, a cat and a snake currently. If I could have them all, I would! I have a very flexible work schedule, traveling around Berks county. I have a reliable car, so I am almost always available to help within reason. I have cared for dogs of all sizes.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time Veterinary Technician with a passion for animal care both in and out of the clinic. I have hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I bring medical knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to every pet-sitting job. Whether your pet needs extra care, medication, or just a loving presence while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, capable hands. I treat every pet like family—because they are. 🐾 As a full-time veterinary technician, I have a unique advantage when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me the flexibility to either bring certain pets with me (when appropriate and permitted) or to stop in during my shift for walks, feeding, or medication visits. Because I’m close by and experienced in managing time around animal care, I’m able to check in on pets regularly and ensure they stay on their routine. I’m fully committed to providing dependable, attentive care, even on workdays. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully. From feeding and walks to playtime and medication. I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to notice and respond quickly to any changes in behavior or health, so your pet is always in caring and capable hands.

About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.

“Great, responsive service! Is familiar with Uptown which is nice. Genuinely enjoyed spending time with my 2 cats and sent videos on every visit and stayed the entire time. Even came by on her lunch break when I made a scheduling time mistake. Will be booking again.”


About: Hi! I’m Michel—a devoted dog lover and proud dog dad to two energetic mini bull terriers. Over the past 4 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for them daily through walks, playtime, training, and lots of love. I truly enjoy being around dogs and understand the importance of trust and consistency. Whether your pup needs a calm, friendly walk or just a little company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily and weekly routine. As a dog owner myself, walks, playtime, and caring for pups are already part of my everyday life. Adding more furry friends to my schedule feels like a perfect fit. I truly enjoy it and make time for it with ease. I’m genuinely happy to walk your dog and provide them with the care, attention, and exercise they need. Being around dogs brings me joy, and I love seeing how a good walk can brighten their day. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and energized. You can count on me to show up with a calm attitude and a wag-worthy walk every time!

“Erin was amazing! She was willing to help on such notice when something came up. She took my diabetic cat’s BG, fed him and gave him his insulin. It’s so hard to find someone who knows how to/ is willing to work with diabetic cat’s needs. She sent me photos and gave me a review of his BG numbers and how her visit went. I will definitely be using her services again and recommend them to everyone! Thanks again, Erin.”


About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and love them both! As an adult, I can't live without them. I have had many sizes and breeds of dogs, including Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, Huskies, standard and miniature Poodles, Shelties, German Shepherds, and Cocker Spaniels. Today I have an English bulldog, my little angel, Vito. Taking care of your little sweetheart would make me so happy! A little about me: I am a licensed esthetician, happily married to the love of my life, and our English bully, Vito, is our only child. My work schedule is mostly evenings, so I definitely have time to walk or drop in on your dog or cat. I am available: -Mon., Tue., & Thu. from 6am-12pm -Anytime on Wednesdays -Flexible on Saturdays I read books and listen to podcasts regularly about dogs and cats. An interest of mine is their behavior and how they communicate with us. I base my care of pets on professional advice and my own instincts when I’m with a particular pet. (Is his tail wagging or are his ears back?) My English bulldog responds best to snapping commands, and I understand the importance of following these commands with your dog. Please let me know which commands you use for sit, stay, no, etc. and I’d be more than happy to comply. I feel animals really speak to us through their energy and understand us through ours. That being said, my bulldog tends to respond very well to calm, low energy, and I find he mimics me. So I understand the importance of my own body language and vibe around pets.

About: Hi my name is Lauren, I am 21 years old and I have always loved being around animals since a young age. I have had 2 dogs growing up, and currently have 1 puppy and 2 cats. I will care for your pet as if it is my own and make sure it is as happy as I can make it while you are away. I am currently enrolled at Albright College as a business finance major and at home for the summer, and would love to meet your furry friend and help you to care for it whether it be while you are away, or if you just need help taking them for a walk. I hope to hear from you soon so I can meet your pets!

About: I will go above and beyond for you and your fur babies in anyway possible. Leaving my animals is always hard, as I’m sure it is for you, I will make sure to give your fur baby as much attention as you would, providing them with comfort and love. If I am at your house, I will constantly check to make sure everything is in order including checking anything you need, bringing in mail and packages and making it seem as if you never left. I am also comfortable taking your fur baby to the vet if needed and running any errands that you may need done through out your busy day. I am happy to be a helping hand and do whatever I can to make your life a little easier.

She was respectful, timely and took very good care of my pet, considering he has been depressed at the lost of his brother.
