“Alli was a big help with Zoey! She made her feel right at home with her time, care and attention :) We had great communication and she was very flexible when we made a few changes due to our travel plans.”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since a very young age. We one two turtles one bearded dragon and a puppy. We love animals in our home. They are what make a home complete. I am a stay home mom that has all the time to care for pets I really enjoy the company. I have a very open schedule. I have a fenced yard and many years of experience of animal care. I am responsible and caring and love to help out in times of need. I understand how scary it is to entrust your family with a stranger.

“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats in Lisa’s care while we were on vacation. I appreciated the detailed reports of how our cats were doing while we were away. I would definitely trust Lisa with our cats again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background. Currently I am retired from pet grooming and I own another business that is seasonal therefore my schedule is pretty flexible and my availability is pretty open too. I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked part-time for veterinarians and independently managed a veterinary kennel on weekends, where I was responsible for daily care, feeding, medications, exercise, and closely monitoring each pet’s health and comfort. I have extensive experience with senior pets, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive, patient, and very comfortable following special routines, administering medications, and noticing subtle changes that might signal a problem. When I’m dog walking or house sitting, I focus on consistency, calm energy, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for in their own environment. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away. As a retired VP of marketing and advertising, I maintain a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m available for daytime walks, extended stays, and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I often split my time between Warren, PA, and Cleveland, OH, so I accept bookings in both areas. Basically, I go (or stay) where I'm needed. Safety and trust are at the core of my care. I'll follow your pet’s routine, provide close attention to their well-being, and treat your home with care and respect.

“Rachel was great! And Heidi was happy while with her despite never meeting Rachel before. It warmed my heart to see her at pickup go back and forth between Rachel and our family for hugs and pets.”

“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and truly treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I'm comfortable with feeding, administering medications if needed, walks, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently have a 1 year old Labradoodle, a 12 year old Golden Retriever and a cat, so I'm used to managing different pet needs and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet cuddles and companionship, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give them the same care I'd want for my own. I currently stay at home with my 11 and 9 year old for the summer but am a nurse by trade and work remotely and sometimes as a private caregiver. My schedule is very flexible 🙂 I have a 2 acre lot with lots of room to run. I use a wireless fence. All of my animals and extremely friendly and love other animals
