“Angelita was great!!! I needed a last minute sitter for my dogs, and she was more than happy to help. She texted me multiple updates throughout the day and even sent us home with a bag of treats! It is clear she is very attentive to the dogs and really cares a lot. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Our pup Josie is working on separation anxiety and Mai was willing to work with us. We were hopeful and it turned out great! It takes a special person with patience, love and a gentleness to care for animals and Mai is just. Not worrying when we are away is a really good feeling and we are very grateful that we have met Mai!”


“Ringo always perks up when we pull up to Gwens house for daycare! He is always greeted warmly and has a great time during his days at Gwens. He always sleeps well when he is finished a doggy daycare day and loves coming back for playtime each week :)”


“D was amazing!! She was available last minute for us and took such good care of our boy. Charlie adores her. If we travel up here again, we will definitely be contacting her! Thank you D!! 🐶🐾”


About: Aspiring future vet. Friends and family members relied on me to feed, bathe, and watch their dogs for years, my first dog was a Husky! I went to dog training courses and love finding safe treats. I currently work/ study from home so I definitely have all the time to play and spend time with your pet in the backyard and go for walks. I have a fenced in yard, a dog friendly cat who can be put away in another room. I can crate your dog if needed, also have a playpen

“Alabama was great throughout the process. It looks like Cinnamon had a fun day with her and the dogs. Drop off and pickup were smooth and I greatly appreciated her flexibility in the pick up times. Highly recommend!”


About: I've trained and cared for large breed canines since I was 15! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

“Heather is an amazing sitter ! Lola loves staying at her house and playing with her little dogs. She keeps me updated with pictures and videos during the day, which makes me very happy! Thank you Heather !”



About: I grew up with four cats. I changed their litter boxes, fed them and played with them. My parents now have two cats that I will go and care for. I also have a fur-nephew that is a 6 year old chocolate lab that I will feed, walk, and love on. Many friends have asked me to watch or check in on their pets. I have full time availability to take care of your pet. I am available all day and all week long to be there for you and your pet. Your pet will have the run of my house. My wife and I live in a single family home with a huge yard that your pet can go hog wild in. We have toys and treats available!

“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”


“Lexzee is a top notch pet sitter. She is very smart in her knowledge of animals and very attentive to details regarding feeding, behaviors, etc.”

“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”

About: I have taken care of dogs almost my entire life. I always had Labradors growing up so I learned the importance of routine, trust and love necessary to care for a dog. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes and take care to get to know each one for the best outcome. I am loyal and reliable so you can count on me to care for your dog. I am currently not working so I am available to take care of your dog all day long. I am up early and have no problems getting up during the night for dog potty breaks if necessary. I have a yard that has a large open space behind it for your pup to run. I have one 4 year old Labrador that loves exercise and every animal and human he comes in contact with. I also have two boys that love to cuddle and show your dog love. My dog does not get crated when I leave but I have no problems crating your dog. I have plenty of space in the house to keep your dogs water and food dishes separate from my own dogs. My dog gets at least one walk a day and is always happy to go on more. Fetch rules our day, inside and outside. If I am in your home, I am very respectful of your space.

About: Have had dogs my entire life. Currently the father of a wonderful Golden Retriever(Lola) and rambunctious orange cat(Gus). I am used to being pulled on walks and giving lots of rubs. Comfortable doing short or long walks, trails or paved roads. I’ve lived in Lancaster almost my entire life, so I know a lot of trails and paths across the county My schedule is pretty open right now for the foreseeable future. Just need 24 hour notice to accommodate for my family. I normally wake up early to take my dog for a walk and again in the evening once the pavement has cooled off I live in Lancaster city, I have a back yard that is fenced on the sides but open in the back. Due to that, I am pretty familiar with all the local parks and hiking trails. Animal lover and pacifist.

About: I have loved and cared for different dog breeds, from chihuahua to golden-doodle; and I bonded with a rescue mutt in my childhood. In my time I have enjoyed handling dogs with different personalities. I will provide your dog a safe haven by bringing them rest, play, and good long walks. I live at home with my parents; and we spend most of our time at home...so your dog will have access to nearly round-the-clock loving attention. Rain or shine or wind or calm I will be with your dog. I have a friendly poodle-fox-terrier mix that will love playing with your pooch. I will walk and play with your dog outside in our pet-friendly neighborhood.

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.

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

“We were nervous about using Rover and leaving our puppy with a stranger but Alexis put us at ease from our first contact. Tanner had a great day playing with Milo and has slept all evening. We'll definitely be requesting Alexis for future needs!!”


“Kelsey is a wonderful dog sitter! I booked daycare for my 5 yr old, active black lab. Kelsey and her husband live in a small apartment with their own sweet lab, Carter, and at first I didn't;t know if two dogs in a small apartment would work. Kelsey was great however! She took them on 3 walks, played with them and sent me wonderful; photos. She is clearly an animal lover and knows how to make it work. I am delighted to have found Kelsey and would definitely book again. Thank you so much Kelsey! Kate and Kenai”

Foxy H.
“I have a dog named Inky that I adopted almost 2 years ago. He came from a high kill shelter and he's almost blind and has separation anxiety. I found Foxy and she has been a godsend and he loves her!! Inky has been to her house many times in the last year for a day here and there and many overnight stays when we go away. She takes him for walks, gives him his medication and also keeps me updated daily on how he is doing! I highly recommend Foxy if you need someone to go above and beyond to take care of your dog!”

Matthew W.
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Matt care for our dog, Jax, for the past five years. I can honestly say that Matt has been a fantastic addition to our routine. From the very first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love animals, and their warm, caring nature made both me and my dog feel at ease. Matt has been incredibly reliable, always arriving on time and following any specific instructions I give regarding Jax's needs. Whether it’s taking Jax on long walks, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I trust that my dog is in good hands every time.”

Diane J.
“Diane loves animals. Even animals which are not ours will come to her first. Our grown children have pets. They all run to “grandma” when they see her coming. She plays with them and talks to them. We have babysat cats and dogs of nieces, nephews, and other family members. Prior to our marriage, Diane had a cat and a dog. The dog had passed away prior to our marriage. She treated both pets as family members. You could see the love she had for Snuggles (the cat). The name fit the relationship. We went to the Humane League and adopted a dog named Tasha. Tasha fit right in with our family. Tasha was a sick dog when we adopted her. The vet said do not get too attached because she isn’t going to make it. Well, Diane nursed her 24 hours a day and gave the medicine the vet provided. We took her back to the vet and he could not believe how healthy Tasha was. He said it was a miracle. After both pets passed, we received a phone call from our daughter. At her work the found two young kittens in a dumpster. She knew who to call. Diane took them in and made them part of our family. Iddy and Buddy provided us a lot of love. When moved to Hawaii they went with us. They loved the eight years in Hawaii as much as we did. We came back to Pennsylvania 6 years ago. Unfortunately Iddy passed 2 years ago and Buddy passed last year. She cared for them until it was time to let them pass. Diane had one lady who would hire Diane to take care of her 2 dogs and an outside cat who lived in a barn. She had to put out food for the barn cat and make sure it was back in the barn at night. The dogs were outside on a leash for part of the day. She fed them twice a day inside and had to give the one dog medicine in the morning. As you have read, Diane is an animal lover. She should have been a veterinarian. We have been without a pet. Now that we have the time to travel, since we retired, she would like to provide her love to other family’s pets. Diane is the perfect person for a family looking to take care of their pet(s). They will not find a better person to love or care for their pet(s).”

Whether it’s going on walks, making sure they eat on schedule, or just plenty of attention and care Malikah will always go above and beyond. My dog absolutely lights up every time she sees her.
