I get nervous about leaving our dog Sheru with anyone, but Jaideep and his wife seem very caring. They took great care of him and shared updates and pictures. I look forward to booking with them again and highly recommend them to others as well. Thank you!

Sandra is amazing! My puppy loved staying with her and her sons. Sandra was flexible with timing and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her whenever we visit the area!

Rosa was very good with my dog missi. She sent me a lot of pictures throughout the day which was wonderful because I was able to know what my dog was up to she also responds very quickly which I thought was amazing. I can tell that my dog had a lot of fun and will definitely be sleeping good tonight.

Dan was a great find for a close daycare sitter for our Rooney. He sent a few pictures throughout the day to let us know she was acclimating well in a new place. Given the extra waggy tail and kisses she gave Dan when we were leaving - I know she enjoyed the day. Thanks so much!

Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.

We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!

About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.

Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, rabbits, and lizards. I’m comfortable around a variety of pets and understand the importance of patience, routine, and giving each animal the attention they need. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible routine, which allows me to be very available for pet care. I can provide frequent check-ins, walks, feeding on schedule, and lots of attention to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals are supervised and cared for throughout the day. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away.
