“Leanne was wonderful with our black lab Chaco, who has a little bit of separation anxiety, while we were away! She sent lots of updates and photos through the Rover cards throughout the stay so we knew how Chaco was doing and she was great with him. Would definitely recommend Leanne!”


“Robin was so communicative and attentive to my cats needs. She was incredibly helpful and thorough! I’ll definitely reach out to her again for all my cat care needs.”


“Leslie was amazing ! She was so communicative and sent me the cutest pics. My cats loved her. It made my trip so much easier knowing that someone who cared was watching my babies. And she sat with them on the balcony so they got outside time everyday. I didn’t get to meet her but from the notes and pictures I can tell she’s a beautiful soul. Thank you so much !”


“Sarah was great! Amazing communication and notes and made me feel at peace that my cats were taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be booking again :)”


“Danielle is a god-sent!! Our Shiba Inu had been very stubborn about being leashed by someone new and she was very sweet and patient and went above and beyond in making him feel comfortable, got him leashed and took him on a glorious walk and sent us lots of beautiful pics! When I got home, my dog was so excited and telling me all about it (shibas like to “talk”), and grinning from ear to ear!!! I am so happy and feel so assured and comfortable knowing Danielle will be taking care of our baby while we are gone! Thanks so much Danielle- you rock!!”


“Alexandra was fantastic while I was out of town! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat and home in her care. She was attentive, detail-oriented, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands—I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”


“Alex was great! I booked this somewhat last minute and she was willing and available to come meet my dog beforehand. She sent lots of pictures and videos during her drop ins and had very detailed information about the drop in itself. Would definitely book her again.”


“Isabel is a great communicator and has been super helpful with taking care of our Teddy the last several weeks. She is consistent and timely in her daily drop-in’s to let Teddy out to potty and play. She has been flexible when my schedule requires it, and has given me ample notice if something changes in her schedule. I highly recommend Isabel, and am so glad we have a recurring visits with her and Teddy!”


About: Our family dog Daisy was by my side the day I was born and I’ve loved dogs ever since, I love all animals but dogs are the purest form of goodness we have on this planet and I want to take care of them in the same great way they take care of us. Currently between seasonal jobs so I am available to take care of your pups just about any time! Very flexible with extended stays and overnight care if given a couple days notice I have lived many places and am comfortable in almost all environments, I am happy to adapt to your home when sitting and have a nice off-road vehicle for trips to the park and/or hikes

“Tahreem did an amazing job. She met with me before hand and met Harvey and did an excellent job of loving on him and checking on him while I was away. Thank you, Tahreem! 🥰🥰”


“Ally did fantastic, very meticulous paid attention to the details, Romeo loved her. Lots of pictures sent each time , every time, my only regret is, she’s leaving my area in a few months and I’ll have to find somebody else eventually. She gets a blue ribbon, AAA review. Thank you.”

“Atlas was amazing taking care of my cats while I was out of town during Christmas. She went above and beyond taking my cat to the vet for an issue he’s had for a few weeks! Second time booking with her and would definitely book again”


About: I know first hand what it’s like to leave my pets in someone else’s hands while I’m away and I strive to provide the level of service I expect from my own pet sitters. I have experience caring for older dogs including my mom’s dog who requires daily medication. I am happy to provide photos, videos, and text updates so you feel like you aren’t missing a thing! I am happy to come up with enrichment activities for your pup and am happy to let them sniff all of the scents along the way on walks. I work an office job during the day, but have flexibility to stop by at lunch for a quick walk or potty break. On weekends, I am happy to work your pet into my weekend plans if they are up for an adventure, or happy to chill at home if they need something more low key. I have a check list of questions I like to ask to make sure that I know everything there is to know about your pet to make sure they are as happy as possible in your absence. I believe in communication and creating a loving environment for your pets while you are away.

About: I have 5 years of certified service dog training experience through Susquehanna Service Dogs. I have professional experience in raising, training, sitting, and caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a love for caring for animals and would love to help care for your fur babies! I currently work fully remote, so I am able to care for your fur baby around the clock! I walk outside myself at least twice per day and would love to take your pet with me. I love playing, snuggling, and doing whatever else your pet loves to do! I currently have no pets, so yours would have my full, undivided attention! I have years of experience in training and raising service dogs, so I will provide premier care for your pet. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with both indoor and outdoor dog parks, so your dog would have lots of room for walks, play, and fun!

About: I have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors for years. Whether out on walks/runs or relaxing together at home, I ensure your pets feel safe and loved. I occasionally petsit for folks when they are traveling. I just finished a hospital residency and went active duty last year. I recently sat for a family with two cats, and they slept with me every night! Separately, I cared for two large dogs I took out for walks early in the AM before work. I petsit in your home. FYI I've passed the FBI's Top Security clearance for the Navy and Duke Healthcare System's extremely thorough background screening. Before your trip, I like to meet at least on video but hopefully also in person to get to know one another and your pet(s). It's great if you can share a written guide of your pet(s)' care schedules so that we're all on the same page :) We walk together in the AM, PM play outside after dinner, at lunch time, make the most of the daylight to be outside together! I love all breeds. I have housesat/petsat for so many different breeds & their families/individuals while they have been away traveling, and I am happy to help take care of anything that needs upkeep while you are away.

Mollie M.
“Mollie is hands-down one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know, especially when it comes to animals. Her love for dogs goes beyond the average—she treats every dog like it’s part of her own family. Mollie is calm under pressure, incredibly responsible, and always reliable. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure dogs are not only safe, but genuinely happy and comfortable. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, going on long walks, or just providing some extra cuddles, she does it all with so much heart. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like you would, Mollie is the perfect choice. I can’t recommend her enough!”

She has lovingly cared for my cat and dog for years, always showing patience, warmth, and genuine affection. Anna is upbeat, reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy and well cared for. I trust her completely and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
