“Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.”

About: I have been pet sitting for almost 10 years. I have cared for animals ranging from the smallest such as fish to cats and dogs to larger animals such a donkeys, goats, chickens and potbelly pigs. My goal is always the happiness and health of each and every animal that comes my way. I work full time. However I go home each and every day for my lunch break to take care of my own pup allowing potty breaks and exercise during the day. I also live on 5 acres which allow lots of room to run and exercise. If your dog is unable to be off leash I also live 5 min away from several walking trails and parks allows my easy access for outdoor exercise. I take care of each and every pet as if they were my own. Whether the care is happening in the pet owners home or if their special boy/girl is boarding with me the care will always be the best!
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”

“Crystal is great with my very senior dog. She is trustworthy and dependable and puts my mind at ease when I am away. I would absolutely recommend Crystal for overnight care in the home.”

About: I have over 7 years experience pet sitting for private families. I have a Boston terrier and love all dogs and breeds. I brush there hair and walk them when needed. I ensure they are fed and hydrated. I give all dogs my energy, affection, and undivided attention. They are part of the family. I'm available mornings and afternoons. I'm available Monday to Friday.

“Aaron went above and beyond with our dog; we knew he would after an incredible meet n greet. He walked our dog several times AND played ball with her in backyard. She ate her dinner with him and rested comfortably with him after she tired out! Aaron sent us great pictures and updates. Definitely calling on him again. And it was Christmas, spending 5 hours with our dog.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals of all kinds and my comfort caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I’ve grown up around cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and many different breeds throughout my life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I also have previous experience working in a vet care setting, which helped me become confident handling animals, recognizing behavior changes, and assisting with more specialized care. At home, I care for a special needs cat who requires medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following detailed care routines. Because of this background, I’m especially patient and attentive with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need extra care or medication. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. During the summer, I work very part time teaching art classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Outside of teaching, I mainly focus on caring for pets for my other dog walking and pet sitting clients. I’m also going into my senior year at Moravian University, and during the school year I schedule pet care around my classes. Since my class schedule is manageable, I’m able to consistently make time for walks, feedings, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks, and I’m comfortable giving medications when needed. I also make sure the home stays clean and cared for while owners are away, including cleaning litter boxes, picking up after pets, bringing in mail/packages, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages.
“Gabrielle was great! She stayed at our house for a whole week and looked after my 2 Great Danes and chickens. She texted daily updates with pictures. Pups were happy and house was left exactly how we left it. I will definitely use Gabrielle again!!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them. That includes walking, feeding, playing with them, etc. I dog sat for a bunch of my babysitting families in the past over night I currently work full-time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule. I love going on walks every day and would be happy to give your dog lots of exercise and attention I take dogs on walks and can also let them out in a fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or preferences the owner has
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”

“Khalaya is a very sweet person and took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. This was the first time I've hired someone to come take care of my animals, but she put me at ease when I met her. My dogs were excited to meet her and I felt comfortable leaving them with her for the weekend. She sent me pictures and a video of them while we were gone and they looked relaxed. I'm surprised my cat came out to meet her, but there's photographic evidence that she did! When we returned, our animals were happy and well cared for. They were happy to see us, but there is no doubt in my mind that they enjoyed getting tons of attention while we were away. I would absolutely have her back the next time we travel! Thank you Khalaya!”

About: I am very good with animals, I love to be around them. It never feels like a chore when i take care of animals it feels like a privilege. I do work at giant in hellertown but I have free time most mornings. I would like to feel productive and be able to do something other then lay around before my shift starts. I think this is a perfect job for me. I take care of the pet as best as i could possibly do. I follow instructions on what the owner prefers when it comes to taking care of their pet.

About: I've pet sat since 2014, I've taken good care of their pets for my family and friends.I have a wealth of knowledge of all breeds and love to spoil and play with dogs and cats.
