“Beth did a great job, considering the many “accidents “ she dealt with! She followed my instructions and even adjusted her visits to make things easier for everyone. I felt comfortable leaving my furry family in her care! I would definitely recommend her!”


“Jenna is very kind and patient with my pack. Her communication is excellent, she is always on time and my fur babies enjoy seeing her!! It gives me me peace of mind to put them in her care.”

“Amanda is great! Very reliable, responsive and has been so helpful with our new puppy. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I would say I have a very loving and strong connection with dogs. Big, medium or small! I myself have an 8 year old pup, who’s still a baby in my heart. I love the feeling of joy when I’m around animals, so why not do more of it? :) I currently work 9am-6pm, 4 days a week. Weekends and Wednesdays I am committed to playing and enjoying time with your pups! After work, I always find just enough time to hang out with my dog. I’d love to spend some time with your dog too! I would be able to follow any and all instructions, and understand all restrictions! If needed, I would be able to take care of your fur baby at my home! I have a fairly large fence, and lots of free space for running. I know trust is a major thing, and I’d be more than grateful for your trust. As I would treat your baby, like mine!

“I can’t say enough good things. Lauren was so sweet and loving to our boys. She went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of, even by researching how to reset the complicated automatic feeders we have (which the cats unplugged!). Thank you!”


“Thank you so much!”


“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”


About: During drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the care, attention, and activity they need while you're away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime—whatever fits their routine best As a recently graduated PA student with a passion for pets, I’m currently available full time to offer reliable, loving care for your furry family member. While I prepare for my first job in healthcare, I’m dedicating my time to something that brings me joy—providing compassionate, detail-oriented pet care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or special needs, I’m here to make sure your cat and/or dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I can take time to get to know their personality and needs—whether that means quiet companionship, playful interaction, or giving medication. I ensure litter boxes are cleaned regularly, fresh food and water are provided, that they’re walked, and I always do a quick check for any signs of stress or illness. I can also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve provided services for dogs for almost a decade. I am great with large breeds and energetic dogs. Currently providing walking and drop - in services for new clients. I love dogs and take great pride in the relationships I form with each pet and the trust you put in me. If work a long day, or have a dog that needs some extra stimulation I am the hooman for you 😊 I am currently working from home. I have a lot of time to provide care to animals in different stages of life and care. Owning a high energy dog I spend part of my day providing enrichment for my own pet and to bond with her. I build a bond with each dog and pay attention to their body language and needs. I follow parents instructions; my overall goal is to provide peace of mind and a safe environment for your dog.

“Lena did a great job. I appreciated her attention to detail and promptness. Thanks Lena”


About: I grew up surrounded by animals and understand how much they contribute to the household. I’m a caring individual who loves to hang with the animals to make sure they are entertained. I work in theater, so I have a constantly changing schedule. When in performance schedules, I’m free most days and busy in the evening until after the show. I am always available in the mornings and nights. I will always follow the instructions given to me by the owner. If I feel the need to do something different, I will check in with the owner to make sure it is okay to do.

“Jeannie R is fabulous!! She records what happens with each pet, takes pictures, and notifies me if running late. She’s a delight to work with. Chloe, my labradoodle, loves her.”


“Very sweet and very reliable person to leave in care of my small petting zoo! Thank you so much Giselle for your attention to detail and for keeping my babies comfy while I was away!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve had 6 dogs and 2 of them I have personally trained. My family, friends, and neighbors have trusted and relied on me with their pets as well. To walk, feed, play, and bathe. I am currently unemployed this summer as I am getting ready to head off to college in August. I am traveling some but the days I am home I am free. I provide care in your home, a secure yard, or the neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs. And I ask that you please inform me if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of dog breeds for about 10 years, including dogs with special dietary needs. Most of my experience is with overnight stays, which included feeding and walking. I’m currently working in the evenings and am free for the rest of the day. I am less available on weekends but can still stop in for feeding/walks cuddles in the evenings. I am not able to care for dogs in my home, however I’m able to come to your home and care for your dog as needed.

“Asia was phenomenal! We did a meet and greet before our trip and she asked great questions, which reassured us that our cat (son lol) would be in great hands on our trip. During our trip she sent pictures and videos, as well as spent extra time keeping our Charlie company. We forgot to handle something for him before we left and she made sure to handle that once she came to visit that day, which we greatly appreciated 🙏🏼 We absolutely recommend Asia for all of your pet needs & will definitely be reaching out to her on all of our upcoming travels!! :)”
