“Troy and Shalah were wonderful. We had a bit of a mix up with the booking and they were extremely flexible and took great care of my skittish and crazy dog. I would definitely use them again.”


“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”


“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I am super fun and energetic. I absolutely love to play and take care of animals. I have a certification in Dog Psychology & Training and I'm available for overnight visits! I'm available for any of your daytime needs for your pet. I have owned, and still own, many dogs in the past so I have no problems with breed restrictions and I'm not hesitant with any dog. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and give them the care they deserve, I'm here! Please consider me when you're looking for a person to care care of your little, or big furry friend! Thank you so very much! I have 3 cats of my own and my parents have 2 dogs, so I'm constantly taking care of animals. I also have 5 foster kittens that mix into my daily routine! Pets in my home are well taken care of. They are given all the food and supplements they need! They also always have clean litter and a vacuumed space, so they don't track litter around the house.

“Dawn was so caring and loving with my girls. This was a last minute booking , but it felt like she had known my pups forever. Dawn took her time to get to know each of my dogs’ personalities and made sure they were well taken care of. She followed all my instructions. My house looked great upon my return. I will definitely will be using her again in the near future!”


“We hired Alyssa over Thanksgiving while we went out of the country for the holiday. We chose to have her stay at the house with Yuki because he’s a recent rescue and still a little anxious about his life. Alyssa stopped by a few days before our trip to meet our dog and make sure they were a good fit. They made fast friends and we booked her for the week. Alyssa kept in touch with us by sending texts and pictures throughout our trip to ensure us that Yuki was happy and thriving! Upon arriving home, we found the house in perfect order and she even washed the sheets and folded them up for us! She also wrote us a letter detailing the week and how Yuki did while she was watching him. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa enough! She was excellent with my (sometimes nervous) dog. I would definitely use her again in the future. Worth every penny!”


“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”


About: I'm 63 and you can call me Frank! I have had and loved dogs since I was a kid. Okay, mom and dad did most of the work back then, but from my teenage years on I've housebroken and helped raise three of my dad's chihuahua's, the last of which we adopted when he passed ten years ago. She is still with us, along with my daughter's dog who also lives with us now! Also, my son's chihuahua puppy visits every two weeks or so! We are all very diligent with getting them on schedules, fed, walked and played-with regularly. My dad's almost 14 year old chihuahua still plays with the puppy, that tell you something? My pictures show a couple shots of our dogs on vacation with us in Gettysburg- they've also been to Canada, Ocean City, NJ and Lake Glory in the past ten years! We lost the Sheltie, Bella, in January but she had a great life, also pictured! We also had a Tabby named Stanley for 16 years, so I'm cat-friendly too! Your pet will have a great time and be spoiled a bit, whether I'm stopping by for a short stay or sticking around for a while! Of course, your rules first, so just let me know what you need and I'll do the rest! I'm currently driving with Lyft, but really want to scale back the driving and use my flexible schedule constructively by making some of my favorite animals happy! We have a fully-fenced yard in which the dogs love to run, 1100 square feet inside and basically all doggies are treated like family! They are fed dog food only, and just a light treat or two during the day, also dog-related, not "people food" treats. Plain, boiled chicken is the only exception, with white rice if there's an upset belly!. They are bathed monthly in the summer, and brushed randomly, though my daughter's dog has very short hair. I have also stayed at the homes of several individuals to care for their pets, a few of whom should be submitting testimonials shortly, if they haven't already!


“From our first get acquainted meeting, my corgis loved Cindy. She is kind, gives them plenty of attention, and was able to spend a lot of time here with them. Since one of them is partially paralyzed, requires frequent diaper changes, and needs to be supervised when she goes outside to play, I had to be sure that the person caring for them was responsible and understanding. Cindy was perfect! She sent plenty of photos, texted me with updates, and even brought over some carrots (afavorite treat) when their supply ran out. Cindy is definitely a dog lover, and cared for my babies with love, and attention to every detail. When I arrived home last night, I was greeted by two very happy, but very exhausted, little ones. Since I am out of town a lot, it is very reassuring to know that my babies will be happy, and cared for so well when I have to be away.”

“Reina was great. She stayed at my house with my fur baby for 7 days. She sent me daily updates and lots of pictures. Finn has a seizure disorder and requires meds twice a day. She made sure that he received them on time. I would use Reina again in the future :)”


“Kate sat for our fussy cat Honey and was very understanding towards her hissy fit attitude. We felt confident in leaving her in Kate’s capable hands. Our house was left spotless and well taken care of. We look forward to planning our next trip away leaving Honey and our home in Kate’s care.”
