“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”
“Adam was a great sitter. He provided detailed updates and made our FOUR pets feel at home, including two large dogs. He handled their various personalities really well. I would recommend Adam to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.
“Christina was outstanding. She knew my dogs were my babies and treated them like they were her own. She was prompt, did all I requested and kept me informed. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”
“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
“We hired Nimo to house sit our cat for nine days. She is a joy to work with. She took great care of our cat. She followed our instructions, responded to our messages, and sent us loads of adorable pictures of our cat. We could tell that she loves animals. We feel comfortable trusting her with our cat and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had a strong love of animals as I have grown up with them my entire life. I also have been working at an animal hospital since 2014. Young or old I’ve worked with them all. I currently work full time at an animal hospital. I also work part time for a pet sitting company but would love to be able to help out more people and more pets! I treat your animals like I would my own. Any and all instructions are followed to a T. Safety is one of the utmost important factors in caring for animals. I am always prepared and ready for the “what-ifs”.
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, and have owned multiple rescue dogs since I was 22 years old. I often assist my neighbors and family with their pets. My dogs are 100% my top priority! I have 2 small dogs who I currently take out every 2-3 hours. I am a dedicated dog momma that prioritizes them, making pet care a daily routine. I adjust to the temperament of the dog. It's important to make them feel comfortable in the home at all times. I let my dogs graze, with food and water available to them at all times. But this can be adjusted to your pups needs. We also walk daily (at least once a day), and treats are provided after successful potties outside. I also provide a variety of toys, blankets, and beds for my dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was little. My neighbors and other intermittent clients have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medication, and housesit their animals for a long time now. I also have worked at a facility that works closely with any and all types of dogs for about 3 years now—providing daycare, grooming, boarding, training, etc. I have also lived with dogs and cats my whole life, even a few geckos! I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I like to make sure all animals feel safe and loved for even if their owners are not around. It is important to treat our pets with as much love as we give ourselves—they deserve time, attention, and excellent care! I only have experience caring for pets in their own home, since this is where the animals are the most comfortable. I try my very best to make sure the animals I am around are comfortable with my presence, as I understand all animals are different, and will need different kinds of attention!
“Dominique was so responsive and flexible! I booked a Rover service to watch my dog on my wedding day. She was so accommodating and arrived right in schedule! She helped keep me at ease giving my updates so that I could enjoy my wedding day!”
