“Stephanie took great care of Sophie over our spring break. She kept us up to date on the daily activities and sent so many adorable pictures. Her yard is very well kept and Sophie had plenty of space to run and play. With Sophie being our only dog, I loved that there were other friendly dogs for her to play with. We had a great experience with Stephanie and I look forward to having her help us out again.”

VICKIE.. “My dog get excited bc she thinks she going over.. to see her now”. Starlie can’t wait to see you again…”
“We 1000% recommend Nantikan! She was highly responsive and flexible from the initial meet and greet to the time we picked our dog up (who didn’t want to come home!) Nantikan is very caring and knowledgeable and her home provided a safe, comfortable, fun place for our dog to stay while we were away. She provided updates to ease our minds and we quickly learned we had nothing to worry about. Our dog is already looking forward to going back!”
“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”

Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”

“Natalie was very prompt in her response to the initial Request and very honest. She came over for a small “intro” visit a couple of days before my actual vacation so we could go over things face to face. I immediately felt comfortable with her as she told me about some of her other pet-sitting experiences. During the time she took care of cats, She sent pictures of all of her visits at the times that she said she would visit and she took the time to play with my fur babies. Leo and Jasper were healthy and happy when I returned! Thank you, Natalie!”
About: For the past 9 years, I’ve had the joy of sharing life with my sweet chocolate Lab, exploring trails, going on countless hikes, and making unforgettable memories together. Our adventures have deepened my love for animals and inspired me to offer that same care and companionship to your pup. I’ve also had cats my entire life and am currently raising a spirited (and slightly spicy) feline who’s been keeping things exciting for the last 5 years. Whether it’s a calm walk or a lively visit, I bring experience, patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for.
About: I love cats! When I was little we had originally 4 outdoor/indoor females that turned into 13 cats..now I Fostered before I moved to fill my heart but also have a cat of my own. I’ve cat sat for 2 different families for long periods of time, and I’ve always been asked back.
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”
“I’ve used Sara twice now for drop in feedings for my two cats while away. Once for a long weekend and another time for a full week. She’s excellent and I’d highly recommend her. Everything went so well - I couldn’t have asked for more. My two shy cats loved her too which made me so happy. Thanks again Sara!”
About: Hello, I am 33 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I used to work at an Emergency OverNight Hospital for small animals (dogs and cats) I specialize in walking reactive aggressive dogs (I have a GSD that does not like other dogs) as well as escape artist dogs. I've had numerous different breeds, from hound dogs to huskies, so I am used to all temperaments. I love animals and have a lot of patience when it comes to animals. I don't mind walking in the rain and I always carry an extra harness, leash, and freeze dried lamb treats! I believe dogs are more then just family and deserve to be treated like it. I believe pets do better when watched inside of their own home, rather then going to a strangers or being boarded, I work from home so I will never leave your pet alone for more then an hour at a time, ensuring less crate time and a better balance for your pet. I work from home so I am always available for any emergency, no chewed up toys or foreign bodies on my watch! I never leave pets for more then an hour ( if i need to run to the grocery store) so whatever they need, I am there for. I prefer to stick the the routine that the owners have already set. I also prefer to do a meet and greet before any over night pet sitting to ensure I am the best fit for your pet and your pets needs. I believe that pets are family and should be treated as such.
“Vanessa is amazing there should be 10 stars on here! She has excellent communication very professional took fantastic care of my pets played with them cared for them. She made me feel at ease leaving them with her. If you’re looking for a top-notch sitter, Vanessa is the person you want to work with!”

I have a fenced in backyard and crate train our dogs, I’m able to clean up after accidents with a green machine if need be, flexible care if needing crates, feed dogs of any temperament and check for ticks if need be.
About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats and previously worked as a cat sitter from 2015–2019. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and have experience with shy, anxious, rescue, and senior cats. I currently own 6 cats myself, so I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pets. I genuinely love animals and always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!
About: I am a happy owner of 2 cats and a yellow lab. I've had pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, fish, you name it) all my life. I am a huge animal lover and if I was to start my career all over again I might have become a veterinarian! But instead I have chosen the business path and became an accountant. I am very interested in pet sitting as this will give me the best of both worlds! I look forward to taking care of your pet as I would my own spoiled rotten pets at home :) I have watched friends and families cats/dogs over the years, mostly by visiting their house and feeding the pets/going for walks, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had dogs since the time I was born. My experience administering medication Yes, as long as the dog is used to taking the medication and reacts well to it.
About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be treated like family—with the utmost love, attention, and care—whether we’re snuggled up at home or out on an adventure together.

About: I have taken care of both adult cats and kittens for over a decade. Both of my cats at home are fully vaccinated and fixed males. I am experienced in feeding, litter box cleaning, administering medication, and have many toys for them to play with.
About: I have cared for family cats since I was a child and I currently have two cats of my own. One of my cats is a rescue and it took many years to build trust but one thing I’ve learned about cats is they have boundaries and have their own unique way of communicating! Whether it’s a cuddle companion or just someone to fill up the food bowl and clean the litter box or someone to play with I am happy to help!
About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.

“Vanessa is the real deal! My puppy has so much fun when she spends the day with Vanessa and she absolutely crashes out for hours when she gets home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“I cannot recommend Vickie and Heath enough! Wonderful! From the moment we began communicating to picking up my dog Maui, Vickie was wonderful and warm-hearted! Maui is an 8 month-old Labrador, so he needs a lot of attention still… And, I felt such peace of mind leaving him for the day with Vickie and Heath. I received video updates and could see he was having so much fun! I’m so glad I found Vickie and Heath and look forward to when Maui can go back and have more fun!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Up until recently, I have raised 2 dogs for the past 15 years and cats prior to/during part of that time. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 young adults away at college so I have flexibility to visit homes with dogs or cats throughout the day. My innate ability to connect with animals has inspired me to seek out work where I may spend more time caring for them. I understand the care and concern pet owners have for their pets, especially when they are not able to be home for them. My experience being the primary caregiver for my own pets has nurtured my love for animals and provided me with knowledge of basic training techniques. It is my goal to provide peace of mind that I will care for your pet the same as I would for my own furry loved one. I look forward to visiting with new furry friends! I am currently home all days of the week except midday Tuesdays. Therefore, I have flexibility to visit pets throughout the day on most days. I am currently living in a neighborhood with ample space for walks. In addition, I have reliable transportation for visits to clients’ homes as necessary.
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
About: I have extensive knowledge when it comes to caring for pets of all different types. From growing up with cats and dogs, to saving injured birds, I have seen a lot and done a lot for the betterment of all animals. I will treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to spend with any fur baby that comes my way. The fenced in yard will be an amazing place for any pups to run around in and I do enjoy walking so having a companion would always be welcomed. My yard is over 8,000 square feet, fenced in, and I have a little pup now that would enjoy extra company. I have plenty of space indoors in case of any crating needs. I have nursed sick and injured animals back to health as my love for animals runs deep.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 12. I have taught my own dogs many tricks, take them on frequent walks, and provide lots of love! I make sure they have fresh water, food, and clean fur. I enjoy playing with small dogs gently and with care! I am a Kindergarten teacher that is currently available all summer long! I enjoy being active and keeping busy. Tending to animals has always been a passion of mine during my down time. I currently do not own any pets at the moment. When I did, I made sure to take my dogs for several walks, feed them with quality meals, change their water, and make sure their area is safe from hazardous items before leaving the house.

“Kaela and her family are awesome. We really liked how responsive and accommodating she was. We needed to book a last minute reservation 2 days for our dog for July 4th, she quickly responded to confirm. Most importantly, seeing our dog happy when we picked her up the first day, and wagging her tail when seeing Kaela the second day, showed us how happy the doggo was with Kaela. I'd definitely love to have Kaela take care of our dog the next time we are in the area.”
About: I’m a full time mother of one little girl that is 2 years old that will be joining me on these walks or will be around dogs, cats & etc. She’s loving and caring with animals, she definitely gets that from me.

About: As an Air Force veteran with over 6 years of service, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail into every pet care experience. I’ve had dogs my entire life and also have experience caring for cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I regularly dog and cat sit for my spouse’s coworkers, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures, including administering medication twice a day, so I’m comfortable following special care instructions and keeping a close eye on pets who may need extra attention or medical support. I am a full-time online student, which means I’ll be home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and exercise, along with two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.
About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for.

I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: First there were up to five rescues who became my lifetime companions. Then we added two beautiful horses. We walked to and through parks, to the reservoir, up hills across streams, and at the marina. Oftentimes we shared the road with grazing cattle and communed with ducks and geese. We moved with the horses where we gave care and love to the horses and even shared property with llamas for a while. "Peachie" the cat has helped to strengthen my feline muscles through love and understanding his understated gifts as compared to the dogs. I am through, loving, caring, and pay attention to detail. I know how to meet each companion where he or she is; and I possess excellent communication skills. Animals and children love me and I them!

My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.
About: As a pet owner, I understand the importance of proper care. I will take care of your fur baby as if it were my own, including feeding, walking, playtime, and snacks, and I will follow any required care regime. Unfortunately, I only service New Jersey. I will not be able to accommodate request in Pennsylvania. I am a business owner, so my schedule is flexible for pop-in visits. I'm always out and about, which means stopping by to care for your pet is no problem. I do not offer overnight in-home services, but I would be more than happy to greet them in the morning and tuck them in at bedtime.
About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.
About: I have had many years experience with my own animals. I had taken a training course in the past. My family and friends are confident in me on taking care of their pets. I am very flexible and reliable during the week, weekends or holidays. You may contact me at your convenience. You can depend on me to take good care of your pets. Depending on the rules of the pet owner. I will follow their instructions on how they would like me to care for their fur babies.
About: I have extensive knowledge when it comes to caring for pets of all different types. From growing up with cats and dogs, to saving injured birds, I have seen a lot and done a lot for the betterment of all animals. I will treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to spend with any fur baby that comes my way. The fenced in yard will be an amazing place for any pups to run around in and I do enjoy walking so having a companion would always be welcomed. My yard is over 8,000 square feet, fenced in, and I have a little pup now that would enjoy extra company. I have plenty of space indoors in case of any crating needs. I have nursed sick and injured animals back to health as my love for animals runs deep.

About: I am a happy owner of 2 cats and a yellow lab. I've had pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, fish, you name it) all my life. I am a huge animal lover and if I was to start my career all over again I might have become a veterinarian! But instead I have chosen the business path and became an accountant. I am very interested in pet sitting as this will give me the best of both worlds! I look forward to taking care of your pet as I would my own spoiled rotten pets at home :) I have watched friends and families cats/dogs over the years, mostly by visiting their house and feeding the pets/going for walks, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had dogs since the time I was born. My experience administering medication Yes, as long as the dog is used to taking the medication and reacts well to it.
About: I’ve been around/taken care of animals since I was 7. I’m great with all animals big or small and they all love me! People say I’m an animal whisperer because all the pets I have been around absolutely love me!! I’m from Texas and I’m also great with big animals such as horse, cows, donkeys, and pigs. If there is anything special that you would like me to do for your animal; I will do it!! I’m currently in the military but I always make time for pets because I love them! Especially if I have made a commitment to them!! I take care of pets in their home so it’s not a shock to them. Also they will always get all the loving they want!! If there is anything special that you would like me to do for your animal; I will do it!!

I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”
