“Aura and Anthony were so sweet and took such great care of my Luna. They are kind people and you can tell they are animal lovers!! It make me feel at ease knowing they’re taking care of my girl.”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“A great place to board your pet. They are such a caring and great family. Everyone seemed to be involved in watching Levi. I was afraid he might not want to come home.”
“We have now used Angel for multiple stays. I am comfortable being away knowing our little guy is getting the care and attention he would at home. Angel updates us daily and sends lots of pics. Our little guy is happy when we return, telling me that he had a good time.”
“We had a great experience with Labresha! Our dog clearly enjoyed his stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“Sarah was wonderful. We left town for a week and I was nervous because Bella had the same sitter for the last 10 years. She's now 16 and not used to new people. I didn't need to worry though Bella was just fine. She fit right in with Sarah and her kids. She was very patient with her. Bella requires a couple of meds and she had no problem with that. Sent periodic updates and pictures. I'm very happy and grateful. I'll definitely use Sarah again!”
“So we needed Christine again, and she was awesome again. We had a delay due to this government shutdown with our flight and could not get home for an extra day, she was able to keep the dogs an extra day, no issues. She also sent tons of pictures over thier stay, saw that our 1 dog had a loose molar and informed us immediately, she is very observant and very caring to our dogs. If you ever need a sitter and she is available, hands down she is your sitter. I dread using another sitter if she is not ever available.”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”

She sent many updates with pictures, which was a great comfort for the first overnight stay. We will definitely be boarding with Nycole again.”
“Rebecca and Michael are pros. My dog came back better behaved and tired out in a good way after all the fun. I hope they let us board again. So very thankful!”
“Roseanne is a great dog sitter! She is very pleasant and relaxed. Easy to communicate with and reliable. We are grateful she and her family could take our pup in for the weekend. He fit right in and had a great time!”
“Helen Marie was great with Chewie. After having a successful meet and greet, Chewie loved staying with Helen Marie. She sent us pictures, daily, cared for Chewie as he was her own, and most importantly Chewie felt at home. He played with Belle’s dog toys and lounged around as if he was at home. Thank Helen Marie for your kindness with Chewie you are truly appreciated. We will definitely be back.”

Thank you again !”

About: Very patient and attentive with all my fur babies. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows how much of a labor of love is required to be a pet parent. I’m always open to providing as much needed walks and belly rubs as possible so that your fur baby gets all the necessary attention. I have plenty of time to help with pet care. I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible, more or less depending on the pet owner needs. I usually make sure the environment is pet friendly and hide all small items that any pet could accidentally ingest, make sure that all of their toys are near, and medications that they need are nearby also. Sure that they have plenty of water and food for their liking or dependent on the specifications of the owner based up their pets needs. And try to make sure that they have something that smells like their owner near so they aren’t weary of their absence.
“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I ran a pet nutritional building for two years, I also was in charge of feline foster care, as well as walking dogs in our neighborhood in Pennsylvania. I have a soft spot for animals of all kinds. Daytime hours are preferred, willing to do nights for comeback clients. I’m located in lancaster so depends on how far the drive. Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.
About: My family are very much dog enthusiast though I've been more drawn to cats ever seen I had my first cat at 9 years old. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board other animals. Cleaning after cats do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. I love to play with cats or give them their space as needed. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time.
“5/5 – Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟 Molly was an absolute gem as our cat and house sitter. From the moment we met for the meet & greet, she came across as so professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — she instantly put our minds at ease. She asked all the right questions, took detailed notes, and made us feel completely confident leaving our home and our shy boy, Black Fury, in her hands. During the sit, she went above and beyond in every way. Black Fury (who normally hides from anyone new for days) warmed up to her beautifully — I still can’t quite believe it! We received lovely regular updates with little stories about their day, which meant the world to us while we were away. Our home was looked after with such care, everything was spotless, and it honestly felt like Molly was just another member of the household. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and capable. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home, and we would welcome her back with open arms in a heartbeat. We’re already looking forward to booking her again next time we travel! Thank you so much, Molly — you’re the best! 🐾🏡”
“Amber was so fantastic. My cat has feline idiopathic cystitis and is prone to blockages due to stress and separation anxiety so it was very important to have a caring pet sitter to spend time with him and give him his medication while I was out of town. Amber was so great about keeping me updated with his litter and letting me know everyday if he had peed. It eased so much of my anxiety and I know my cats too. She also sent lots of pictures of my sweet boy while I was gone looking happy and healthy. Will definitely be booking her again next time I go out of town.”
“Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING! Our kitties fell in love with her, and so did we! Not only did she take exceptional care of our pets, but she also managed to keep our house cleaner than we do – what a wonderful surprise! Alyssa, thank you for being an incredible house and pet sitter. We were so impressed that we've already booked you again. You're a true gem. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby.

In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard.

About: For my entire life my family has owned pets of all kinds, and I have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a full time stay-at-home mom with the knowledge and confidence to fulfill all of your pets needs! Our family pet is a golden doodle. She is super sweet and has never had a conflict with another animal. If you have a hyper pup, she would love the company! Alternatively, if you have an older pup, she will respect their boundaries. I have cared for several older dogs, including those in need of daily shots or hourly bathroom breaks over night. I am no stranger to waking up at all hours of the night to meet the needs of your pet. I do have an infant in the house, so pets must not be aggressive, and pets will not be allowed in the bedroom or on the furniture. I am a full time stay-at-home mom to the sweetest baby girl. She is still young, so we rarely leave the house. We live close to a beautiful park and will be happy to enjoy the walk with your pets as frequently as requested. I have a fenced in yard, a beautiful park to which we can walk, and I can offer food/medicine/water on the schedule which your pet requires. If food aggression is a concern, I have a room dedicated to our dog which can be used to isolate her from your pet during feedings.

“Our miniature poodle Leo enjoyed his time with Mariana having plenty of space to play and attention to his playtime needs. Leo especially enjoyed the extra cuddles! We would definitely bring him back again.”
“Katherine and her family took such great care of Chili on such short notice! She was very communicative, sent tons of photos and updates, and was all around very pleasant to work with. I’d definitely use her and her family again while in St. Augustine.”
About: I've had dogs from big to small, while growing up and as an adult, purebred as well as rescues. I don't have children, other pets or wall to wall carpeting. Your dog can loaf on my daybed and look at Crescent Lake, and there's a park right next door with a dog run. I'm also always happy to drive over oceanside. I've cared for senior dogs until the end. I love dogs and have a Pomweenie back in Michigan with my brother. I've had a fox terrier, 2 Maltese and a Golden. I'm a transplant with plenty of time, and I love in a beautiful country senior mobile home park on Crescent Lake. I love driving to the coast and meeting new people and dogs. I work part time from my laptop and I'm available all the time. I live alone on a lake, and it's dog heaven here. Also happy to go to your house. I live alone and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of energy and time to hang out with your dog and show them a good time. I need company,I love dogs, and they love me.
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.

I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I worked as a veterinary technician in high school for 2 years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all sizes—from tiny kittens to large-breed dogs, and even exotic pets. I’ve personally cared for reptiles, senior pets, and energetic puppies, so I’m confident handling all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet needs meds, extra patience, or just tons of love—I’m here for it! What sets me apart is my vet tech background and my calm, confident approach with all kinds of animals. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I truly care about their comfort and happiness. I understand body language, medical needs, and how to keep pets safe and stress-free. You can relax knowing your fur (or scale!) baby is in experienced and loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m a nursing student and currently work PRN as an EMT after working full-time in EMS since 2021. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekdays and weekends, and I’m great at time management. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love having pet visits or walks as part of my day—it’s a welcome break from the chaos of EMS life! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as an EMT and former vet tech, I’m calm in emergencies, attentive to detail, and confident in administering medications or handling special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I stick closely to their routine and make sure they feel secure and loved. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family.

About: Growing up we had 17 golden retrievers. 14 of them were puppies. I now have two of my own and love to be around them. My family has been involved in training. I also worked at 2 different animal hospitals where I was a kennel technician. I have 2 daughters . Currently I am going backed to school to become a dog trainer. I am always available and try to accommodate in any way I can. I appreciate hanging out with animals and doing everything I can for them. I am CPR certified for dogs. Me and my children enjoy animals so if we aren’t doing school work, or helping other animals I am outside training or practicing with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard so my dogs and I are always outside playing. They love to play with the toys and run. We practice training a lot of the time.
About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.
About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I have many years experience with dogs. I currently have a German Shepard pup who is like one of our children. I believe in healthy, homemade treats and lots of exercise! Walks are a favorite of ours as well as homemade ice cream treats in warmer months. In cooler months, we have a heated garage to play in and still do walks, just shorter. I have 2 small children who love animals and are respectful. I am a big fan that animals should be treated with love and respect. I look forward to caring for your animals and making them apart of our family! Just like people, animals need companionship. We will always strive to do our best to make your family to feel safe and comfortable at all times. I work overnights and from home so there will be lots of time for play and love in our daily routine. Walks are always fun and needed, so I plan on at least 2 a day depending on the age of dog. I do not have a fenced in yard but have walking leashes where they can safely roam our back yard. We love walks and use harnesses for safety. I also have a large crate if needed while your pup visits.

“Amber was Awesome. We contacted her on short notice,and she showed up right away to meet everyone on our little farm. Rynn our little 6lb Shorkie Poo took to her right away and he is usually the hard one because he is the boss, and Bodie the 100 lb Lab loves everyone. Plus the cat, bird and 11 ducks all loved her. We even found some of her own little treats she brought for he kids. If you are looking for a loving, caring, respectful person for your fur babies Amber is the one for you. Thanks you so much Amber Dave & Jen”

“Sarah was wonderful. We left town for a week and I was nervous because Bella had the same sitter for the last 10 years. She's now 16 and not used to new people. I didn't need to worry though Bella was just fine. She fit right in with Sarah and her kids. She was very patient with her. Bella requires a couple of meds and she had no problem with that. Sent periodic updates and pictures. I'm very happy and grateful. I'll definitely use Sarah again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”

“Kelly and James and their family are FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover and we booked with Kelly and James based on some profile preferences. They took the time out of their own busy schedule first to do a “meet and greet” with us and our dog Charlie and we were instantly at ease. Kelly was very kind, personable and thoughtful and thorough in learning ours and Charlie’s schedule, likes, dislikes, and if he had any behavior quirks. Throughout Charlie’s stay Kelly and fam shared daily pics and a summary of Charlie’s activities (eating, sleeping, playing, potty) so we knew day to day he was doing great - this really helped us relax while we were away. Their home is very comfortably “pet friendly” appointed with safety gates for any restricted areas (ie the kitchen which totally makes sense!) and even throws/covers on the dog-friendly pieces of furniture (for fur control) for wind down TV snuggle time. 11/10, highly recommend Kelly and James and we will certainly rebook when our travel schedule calls for it. Thank you Kelly and James for a top notch experience!”
“Nicole and her family were so wonderful to our fur baby! Susie bonded with them and was so attached! It was amazing to see when I picked her up! Ms. Nicole sent pictures and videos everyday so we could see the fun! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lisa is amazing. We had a last minute decision to have a dog sitter due to our hotel issue. Glad we found Lisa and her family to take care of our dog like home. She even sent us pictures and videos when our dog was having fun. Very highly recommended. Thank you very much.”
“Danielle took wonderful care of our dogs. She sent daily updates with photos. The dogs were spoiled with lots of healthy treats and had a great time. They were worn out when they came home!”
“We snagged last minute concert tickets and The Amp and Amelia made it very easy for us! She had quick response time and allowed for a quick drop off. Her kiddos were waiting to play with my Gypsy so I’m sure she received lots of attention while there. She sent a video and pics to show that Gypsy was doing great.”
