“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”


“Leann was a great house sitter and I would highly recommend her. She was very responsive and gave me updates throughout the stay. She left my home in the same condition as I left it and I could tell my animals felt comfortable with her from the photos she sent me. I’m very happy overall and would book with her again.”


“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”


“I can’t say not enough about the relationship that I have developed with Zania both for myself and with my Cane Corso, Samson. She’s very personable, organized and thoughtful, and gives my dog plenty of love. Very grateful that we’ve met her.”


About: I am a weekly volunteer at Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue. I am a former teacher, so I will follow your directions, be impeccably respectful. I am in a job transition so I am flexible to care for your fur babies. If a change, I will let you know times. My two cats never go outside, I keep updated medical history. They are cherished and are fed special food. They are truly Spoiled and Happy.

“WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Kathleen did a FABULOUS job taking care of my fur babies. She sent updates multiple times per day along with pictures of each one of the pets. 3 needed medication and one was recovering from surgery and needed special care. Care that I trusted only to a trained professional....and that she is! I was able to truly enjoy my time away; knowing that EVERYONE (and my home) were loved and cared for while we were away. I cannot say enough about Kathleen....she made it possible for me to RELAX! Thank you!!!!!”


“Deb is remarkable! Stella was anxious as we were leaving and Deb jumped right to help her calm down. Deb was incredibly proactive by anticipating what Stella needed, from walks to some time laying in the sun. Stella had a weekend of pampering and love, not just someone to feed her and let her out. We’ll always choose Deb first to care for Stella!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for years! From checking in on the pet periodically throughout the day and making sure they have all they need, to walking them and staying overnight for multiple nights in a row, I’m confident in my ability to care for you pet and make them feel loved!! I am currently in between jobs, so I have availability to stay with pets throughout the day and overnight, check on them as often as you need, and walk/feed/let them out as much as you need! I ensure that all of the pets needs are met. I can put up a gate if needed. I make sure to dedicate one-on-one playtime and/or provide adequate exercise that allow them to get out their energy.

“I am so grateful to Marlena for being so good to my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent me consistent updates & photos of all the fun they were having, which gave me peace of mind. She stayed at my apartment & when I arrived home, I found that she had left it in even better condition (dishes put away, trash taken out) than I had left it. I will most definitely continue hire Marlena for dog sitting gigs & I wholeheartedly recommend her!”


“Daniel took amazing care of our two dogs, while we were on vacation. He kept in contact and sent pictures which allowed us to be comfortable and enjoy our vacation. Daniel asks questions and takes notes on care that should be provided. Thank you so much! I look forward to having you again.”

I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.

Dogs safety in hot weather is my number 1 priority! When the temperature is above 80 degrees, I don’t recommend walks due to the hot concrete or gravel hurting your pets paws! 🐾 But I love a good walk and I’m sure your dog will too!
