I had to go out of town for work with less than a 48 hour notice. My usual sitter wasn’t available, so I reached out to Sidney to look after my dog, Gooper, and she was prompt in messaging me back to set up a meet and greet that day. The entire time she provided eager and enthusiastic care for my dog and was right on time with the feeding and walking schedule. I could not have asked for a better sitter and I encourage anyone who is in a similar position as I was to hire her.

I have a rescue dog that can be difficult. Linda is very patient, but also persistent. Just the right combination of both. My dog is already beginning to relax with her.

David has been excellent with our two Chihuahuas. One of them is quite difficult with strangers, but David has always been extremely patient with him and won him over. David has always been very reliable and professional. We've been lucky to have him taking care of our dogs. I can't recommend David strongly enough!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember. As a child, one of my core memories is caring for my pets. I also wanted to nurture and support them. Whether it was a fish, a duck-yes a duck, a bunny, a little birdy, a cat or a dog. I always loved my pets so very much. I pretty much grew up with pitbulls and once I moved on my own I took in an abused 1 1/5 year old male pitbull/shepherd mix and he is my best buddy to this day! I currently work a part time but I am aloud to make my own schedule! So I am available mornings until 10AM Tuesdays and Thursdays, Wednesday mornings until 12PM, and all 3 days after 2PM. While pet sitting I ask the parent for details on whether or not they have a set schedule with their pet, how strict is it, any medications needed, things the pet loves to do, things the pet isn't too fond of, etc. I normally act as if the pet is my own. We play, we go outside, out for walks, treat breaks, of course feeding and hyrdating and a little bit of dancing! A whole lot of lovings!

I am able to stay overnight with your pets, take them out for walks and potty breaks, play with them, and send plenty of photos! I care for pets with great responsibility and great compassion.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs ever since I was born and have cared for all dog breeds in the past. I truly love the companionship I've built with my animals and would give the same to yours. I am able to care for your dogs in the early mornings and late afternoon to late evenings, I guarantee walking them frequently as it is a part of my daily routine. I love being outside as well and am very active so I’m great with high energy pets! Often I take my mom's dogs outside a few times a day. First thing in the morning is the best time to feed and walk them so they get some sunshine. Mid-day I let them go out for lunch in a fenced-in backyard, and feed them dinner by the evening. I will also take them for walks before sundown and ensure they are comfortable before bed. I have watched many of neighbors pets and boarded animals in the past.

About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

About: I want to be a Disney princess so bad so I can be friends with all the animals. Joking aside, I love animals whether it be reptile, fish, or mammal. I inherited my love of animals from my family. I grew up having dogs, cats, exotic fishes, hamsters, chickens, and pigs. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets when they are away because they know that I take care of their pets like they're my own. I'm a stay at home mom, so you can be assured that your pet will never be lonely. I have the flexibility to suit you and your pets schedule. I know it's hard to trust strangers to take care of your pets so I offer a meeting first and so you can get to know me and make the best decision for your pets. I also make sure you get updated and take photos & videos.

About: I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I naturally connect with pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. Your dog will stay in a clean, spacious, and pet-friendly home with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at ease. I provide consistent attention, affection, and supervision to ensure each pet feels secure and happy during their stay. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who do great with other dogs and can make wonderful companions, if your pet enjoys social interaction. Because I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day and maintain their normal routines. I prioritize clear, reliable communication and typically respond to messages within 30 minutes to an hour. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I tailor each stay to your dog’s individual needs, whether that includes scheduled feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home and owners feel confident leaving them in my care. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I give them the freedom to explore, play, and relax, and I always tailor their care to match their unique needs and routine. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I make sure each pet feels right at home.

About: Been an animal lover since I was a kid watching Jeff Corwin on TV (I even wanted to be a zoologist when I was younger). I've raised and cared for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals throughout my life. I'll ensure your furry friend feels welcome as part of our pack! I am self-employed and work from home, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet's needs, including walks, one-on-one playtime, trips to the park, boarding, and more! Your pet will feel right at home in my spacious row house with a fenced-in yard and deck located in Center Square right off Lark Street. I'm happy to accommodate the needs of your pet to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about my pup. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone.
