“Leann was great. There was a learning curve with my dogs but once that was figured out everything went great and they became good pals. I’ll definitely request Leann when my I next need dog sitting.”


“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”



“Austin is a very accommodating , easy going person. I was very comfortable having him in my home, taking great care of the pups. He gave me updates, sent pics, asked questions about their habits. The pups and my home were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend him as a pet sitter.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family—whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior pet needing a gentler pace and extra patience. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners and crate comfort, and I’m confident caring for senior pets who may need medication, slower walks, or just some extra cuddles and calm companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routine to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I also make it a priority to keep you in the loop with regular updates and adorable, personalized photos of your pet—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands and still feel connected while you’re apart. I work full-time during the day so I’m best suited for morning/evening and weekend walking. I can work from home to pet sit, however, if needed! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, trust and safety are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of looking after someone’s beloved pet very seriously, and I always aim to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, and even little habits—so their pet feels as relaxed and “at home” as possible. I’m respectful of your space, and I treat your home with the same care I give your pet. If a pet is staying in my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, clean, and free from hazards. I gradually introduce them to the new environment to avoid overwhelm and make sure they have a cozy spot all their own. No matter the location, I stay attentive, never leave pets unattended for long periods, and always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

“Sydney took great care of our two cats and our house while we were away for the weekend. She kept us well informed with plenty of updates (at our request!). She’s very professional and she left our place looking better than when she found it! We would absolutely trust her to care for our kitties and home again.”


“Hannah was super sweet and patient with our slow to warm up pup. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter, but we felt very comfortable throughout our trip, as Hannah was very communicative and conscientious. Would 100% recommend Hannah, and we (and our dog!) would be more than happy to have her sit again!”


“Another great sitter experience with Alex! Especially the first night, our ceiling had started to leak and she was very proactive on letting us know, accommodating when we had someone come look at it etc. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of Hank which we loved! She left the house clean and Hank very happy! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


About: I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs. I also love our 2 year old cat and have looked after animals of all ages throughout my life—dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, hamsters, and fish—each one unique and loved. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I look forward to meeting new furry friends each week! I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique needs—whether that means walking, playing, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship. I always follow your instructions closely and respectfully, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind. Most importantly, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

“Marlena was fantastic! She met w Nova and he instantly loved her. She kept me updated w pics along the way. He was happy and calm- and as a 13yo cranky senior- that’s a big ask! She definitely was an excellent fit and I am so happy to have found and worked with her!”


About: I have taken care of animals for neighbors, family friends, and complete strangers for many years. I have multiple animals in my classroom at school including guinea pigs, rabbits, a bearded dragon, and turtles. I also have several dogs and cats of my own! I am an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. I like to assist families during the summer as well as during the week in the evenings or during longer holiday breaks and weekends. I have a lot of flexibility outside of my normal working hours of 7am-3pm during the school year. I love to ensure that I am comfortable taking your furry family members for a walk either on a loose leash or with a harness. I also enjoy working with families who have invisible fences or fenced in yards which allow the pets to run freely! I am comfortably crating dogs as needed for safety reasons.


“Rachel recently watched our 2 dogs over night and has done check in visits for us in the past. Our pups seem to love spending time with her, and we always get a bunch of cute pictures and updates while she’s with them. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”


About: Our dog children deserve the best of my experience as a trainer, caregiver and animal lovers will give you safety, I care for my dog angels like mine because they are my happiness therapy. I have plenty of time to play and exercise for your best friend and free him from the strees of confinement on Sundays, fully available or during the week, your comfort is my priority. I have a fenced garden and a beautiful park next to my house and I can take care of it in your house for your safety and confidence. I know many games that puppy and senior dogs like.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for several years. Have a vacation coming up and want your pets taken care of? I can take great care of them! I work part time at Lancaster General so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! If it’s a quick potty break, or a full day, I’m there! I can walk, play & feed your dogs if needed! Dogs safety in hot weather is my number 1 priority! When the temperature is above 80 degrees, I don’t recommend walks due to the hot concrete or gravel hurting your pets paws! 🐾 But I love a good walk and I’m sure your dog will too!

About: I have been around animals all of my life, from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I love walking and hiking, and would be happy to have your pet come along, if that is ok with you. I am a teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible over the summer. I can board your pet during the school year if needed, especially on the weekends. I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.
