“Well, I've said it already and I'll say it again, Emily is the GOAT! My domestic menagerie is in good hands as Emily is professional, dependable and so sweet to everyone (even me, the zookeeper). Do I have to write reviews every time?! You'll see many reviews from me then because, as long as Emily wants, we will always have her care for our babies when the need arises!”

“We’ve booked Rachel twice and she’s been great! Easy to communicate with and very kind and compassionate taking care of our cats. Will definitely book again :)”


About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
“Shayna responded quickly to my last minute drop in request when I had a cancelled flight home! She sent me plenty of pictures with my Bean looking so excited to see her so it was such a relief to know he was in great hands. Will be booking in the future!”

“Brittany was amazing!! She took amazing care of my fur babies the entire time, my flight home got delayed and she still got up and took care of them. I wouldn’t trust anybody with my. babies more than her!!!”

“I can’t thank Mary enough for taking care of my little girl while I was gone. I was a nervous wreck but she goes above and beyond for our loved ones. Also she is an animal whisper and my cat looked forward to seeing her everyday, she made sure that my kitty was set up for the rest of her day with her drop in visit! Cannot say enough good things about Mary’s visit!”

“Samantha is amazing. My cat Marilyn was so happy and comfortable, which means everything to me. This was a last-minute booking and she really helped me out in a pinch. I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Thomas is hands down the best dog caretaker I have ever used; truly appreciate the care he provides! There is always a sense of stress and worry when traveling and having to leave my fur child behind but we did a greet and meet beforehand and Thomas was amazing with my baby boy from the start! Thomas was very supportive, responsive and genuinely cared for Buddha while I was away; going above and beyond expectations and cared for the wellbeing of my dog. Words cannot express how thankful I feel but here’s a shot, THANK YOU THOMAS!”

“Amanda did a great job cat sitting for our 2 cats. Taking care of feedings, litter box, and spending time interacting with them. She sent us a rover card and pics each day to keep us updated as well. Thanks Amanda!!”

“Kaylee was great and I could tell Georgia really liked her! I loved seeing all the pictures of Georgia running around! She was right on time for the scheduled visits and all around amazing with Georgia and my cat Tortilla!”

“First time booking with Lucy and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was very attentive and super responsive on the booking and instructions afterwords. Super communicative daily as I was gone over a week. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their pet.”

About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and have fostered several dogs over the years, giving me plenty of experience with different breeds and temperaments. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I offer overnight sitting, daily walks, and plenty of love and attention for your pets while you’re away. I’ve also cared for cats, including newborn kittens that needed nursing, so I’m comfortable providing specialized care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.

“Rachel was absolutely great with our dog and cat. They were both well taken care of and we were given very detailed and timely updates. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

Michelle was a Godsend! We were nervous about leaving our affectionate-but-needy cat with a stranger. No worries! In no time at all, they bonded and became friends. The photos sent during our 3-week trip were proof of that, and a lifeline for us. The result, when we returned: a well-adjusted cat, everything in the house perfect , and a big relief for us. We will definitely call on her again!

I’m really glad that I found Libby for drop ins. She’s super reliable, responsive and I know she follows the instructions that I give for Milo. I appreciate getting picture updates and updates on what they did during the drop in. I’ve used Libby twice now and am really glad I can rely on her to check in on my pup

Julie did three drop ins for my two dogs. One is a bit reactive and barks a lot to new people, but Julie had no problem handling her. Olivia even let Julie carry her which it’s huge, she normally runs away. We got great communication regarding the visit and pictures.

Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!

I was very pleased with Fern. She checked in on my cat Marilyn a couple of times while I was away and did a great job. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly attentive to Marilyn’s needs. It made being away much less stressful knowing she was there.
