“Pixie was amazing with our 2 dogs and house sitting while we were away for the weekend. She kept in constant communication sending updates, pictures and even telling us when she had to leave and how long she would be gone. I honestly dont think I worried once about them or our house! We already have her booked again for our next trip.”


About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)

“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”


“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors for over 10 years! I am an animal lover and open to watching or caring for other pets as well. I work full time as a manager in the area, I am available early morning, evenings and weekends for any petting sitting or dog walking. I am clean and respectful of other peoples homes. I am available for drop in visits or pet sitting. I am experienced in administering medication and specialty foods for pets. I have and can walk dogs of any size.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for three years and I truly love what I do. Please note that I cannot provide cat care as I am allergic! I’m currently part of the team at Good Dog Paws, a facility that has been voted Best Pet Training in the Tri-State area for 2023, 2024, and 2025 — and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of such a trusted and respected organization. At Good Dog Paws, I handle a wide range of responsibilities that have helped me become confident in working with all types of dogs. I bathe dogs, manage feeding routines, administer medications (including oral and topical treatments), and closely supervise group play to ensure every dog stays safe and happy. I’ve learned to read body language, manage group dynamics, and handle unexpected situations calmly and professionally. In addition to my work at Good Dog Paws, I’ve also volunteered at the Washington County Humane Society as a dog walker. That experience helped me become more comfortable with dogs who may be shy, nervous, or still learning basic manners, and I’ve developed a gentle, patient approach to building trust with animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also provided pet sitting and house sitting services for both family and my boss. These experiences have taught me how important it is to follow routines closely, keep pets comfortable in their own home, and maintain regular communication with pet parents while they’re away. Whether I’m taking care of a senior dog with special needs or entertaining an energetic pup with tons of personality, I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time for pet care in my schedule! Please reference my calendar and message me as needed for availability! I plan to keep your loved ones safe through supervision and attentive care. Through my years of experience caring for animals, I will give them the best quality of life as possible!

Whether it's playful walks and fetch for your pup or gentle grooming and interactive playtime for your cat, I'm dedicated to ensuring your furry friends feel loved, secure, and happy in my care. You can trust that your pets will receive the highest level of attention, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. My schedule allows for flexible pet care services to fit your needs.

About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs and iguanas. I love all animals and have specific experience with medicating them - both dogs and cats for oral medications. I do know how to give cats SQ fluids as well. I am a nurse by trade. I am very lucky - I work from home and make my own schedule as a supervisor. I am able to give your animals the attention that they require, if they do board with me I will not be leaving for work. I have a 3 bedroom home. I do have the ability to use a baby gate and separate part of the home if your cat and mine did not seem to be getting along. I do allow cats on the furniture, couches, in the bed etc. I want them to be comfy and feel safe. I have big windows and a cat window seat for them to use. My cat is an indoor only cat so your cat will not be tempted to go outside.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! ***However, I will be working 4 days a week through the end of September. I will note that I work 10- 12 hour days on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I’m willing to be creative with you to ensure your pets are taken care of!*** I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.
