“Angelita is 10/10! Her care of our Boston terrier was superb. Communications around our reservation was seamless and pleasant. When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”
“Alexis is loved by my Casey! Alexis is an in charge caring, competent alpha animal sitter. We have had the pleasure of using her twice and she’ll be our first pick for our return Lancaster visits. So grateful to have found Alexis. Thank you again!”
“Patricia was life saver for us. Our dog sitter backed out on us at the last minute right before long trip and Patricia was willing to take our dog on short notice. She is the most knowledgeable dog sitter we have dealt with and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning until the end. She took care of our Leilani even though she had some issues the first week. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Jen was a great sitter for our dog Sadi while we were out of the country. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and assurances Sadi was doing well. Would recommend.”
“Charissa and Shawn took great care of our two dogs! We had a meet and greet before dropping them off and both dogs were very comfortable. Charissa made sure to ask all the important questions that she would need to know about our dogs, so that she’d be well prepared. We will absolutely be booking them again the next time we go on vacation!”
“Mai was so responsive and communicative while watching our miniature dachshund. I’m pretty sure this dog is now bummed to be home with her normal humans after all the fun she had. Will definitely be a repeat visitor :)”
“Deb is amazing at taking care of our bay boy. She treated jack like her own and made him feel welcome in her home. I would recommend Deb to anyone who needs to have there kid (dog) looked after.”
About: Growing up, we always had pets, mostly dogs (large and small breeds), but the occasional cat as well! I love all animals as if they were my own! I currently have 2 cats. Both cats are spayed females (mother and daughter). They are unexpected pets, but we love them and couldn’t see ourselves without them! The mom cat (Kitty) was a feral pregnant cat who we took in and cared for and after 2 litters we were able to get her spayed (she is a mostly outside cat) and we kept one from her little and had her spayed as well although she is indoor only. I adopted a German shepherd pup in 2009, named Roxy, and she was the best! She has since past, but she was absolutely great with my children and very easily trained! In 2015 I adopted a chocolate lab, named Tommy, and he was wonderful as well and got along great with my shepherd! Of course he was a chewer and chewed anything and everything he could! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule pretty flexible. My schools age kids currently end school at 330-4pm and begin at 9am so I’d say I’m available between 9:30-2:30pm or after 4pm on Mondays and Fridays. My kids love animals as well! I do not have a fenced in yard, so would walk your pet on a leash, but they would have free range in my home if it was an overnight stay. In a clients home I would be sure to follow whatever the pet care request is.
“Five + stars. Carolyn, husband and doggie family went above and beyond taking amazing care of our pup boarding for a week long vacation. She sent many updates videos and pictures keeping us well informed during his stay. Carolyn and husband gave our energetic golden long walks and a lot of playtime with Bennie and Lola. Would highly recommend and hope to use again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every pet I care for. I’ve grown up with dogs of all kinds and every family pet has always loved me. I treat each dog like my own with patience, love, playtime and extra care. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I currently work weekdays from 6 AM to 6 PM, but I’m fully available on weekends and all holidays to care for your pets with love. I have a fenced back yard and a room dedicated to any animal i care for with all kinds of things that will interest them as well as air conditioning and heat when needed
About: I’ve had the joy of providing around-the-clock love and attention to furry friends in their own space. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from four different families, each with their own unique personalities and routines. Growing up with animals, I’ve learned how to read their needs and earn their trust. I’m here to be their new best friend - and yes, you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I work from home 3 days of the week, but have flexibility to work fully remote if needed for your pet! This means that they can have someone with them every moment of the day, if that is a must. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or if they like to watch a specific show while napping on the couch. If I am in your home, I will keep things tidy, respect your personal privacy, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for. In my homes I create a cozy, pet-friendly space. I tailor to their personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhat in between!
“Becky took care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. She is amazing and took great care of our dog. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made my son super happy. Our dog had a great time!”
“Had a meet and greet with Betsy for our corgi, Maggie ,last Thursday. Today Maggie spent 4 hours with Betsy. Betsy was excellent with her and their home and environment is dog friendly. Betsy has also been very responsive to any texts or requests that I have sent to her. We have arranged for Maggie to have a sleep-over in July!”
“We recently left our two dogs, Ari and Delilah, in Gwendoline’s care while we went away to celebrate our anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in wonderful hands. Gwendoline’s huge fenced-in yard is a true dog paradise, filled with toys and plenty of space for play, but what really sets her apart is the genuine love and attention she gives to every dog in her care. Throughout their stay, Gwendoline kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Ari and Delilah were not just being watched—they were being cared for and treated like family. We came home to two very content and well-loved dogs, and we are so grateful to have found someone as dedicated and caring as Gwendoline. We hope to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter! Thank you, Gwendoline, for making our anniversary getaway worry-free and for taking such amazing care of Ari and Delilah!”

D was amazing! My pup Bailey had an amazing time running around on the farm! D has been fast to respond to my messages and has made the process so smooth. I know dogs are like family and it can be difficult to entrust their care on someone else but I would take my Bailey back to D again!! Thank you D!
