“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Definitely my new favorite sitter. My dog is very corky and likes a bunch of attention and they provided what he needed to be himself and feel like he was home when I was out of town. He was clearly happy to have hands on people who cared about making him feel safe and loved and that means alot when finding a sitter”
“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”
“Kristin and Jeremy were amazing with Moxxie! Kristin provided thoughtful updates and adorable pictures while we were away, and it was clear she was in great hands. She came home clean, happy, and completely worn out (in the best way). Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive sitters! We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”
“Angelita was such a great sitter for my puppy. She provided a little bed with a pillow and blanket for my baby and knew immediately what my dog's interests were. She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”
“Jen S was absolutely amazing with my dog Gracie. Gracie sometimes has separation anxiety, but Jen kept her loved , kept her safe and Gracie had a wonderful time. Jen really loves animals and it shows when you pick up your pet . You know they were well taken care of. And I felt good knowing I could go away and Gracie was well taken care of.”
“Marie was wonderful. She always kept me up to date with daily pictures and information. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her services on my next trip.”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”
“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”
“What can I say!, I am so glad that I chose Stacy to care for my dogs. She treated them like if they were part of the family. She kept me updated often and sent lots of pictures! I 10/10 recommend!!”
“I really can't rave enough about how wonderful Jordan is. We have two 3 1/2 year old German Shepherd and one is very reactive. During their stay, we received videos and I was so pleased to see how happy and comfortable my girls were. They were running and playing and my "reactive" dog was as calm as could be. She took to Jordan right away and was not affected at all by the other dogs. Jordan REALLY knows what she is doing! I'm already trying to book my girls for another stay next month!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life from German Shepherds to our little cavachon. Since my kids are getting older and don’t need as much help, I have time to take care of your precious pets when you need it! I’m here to take care of everyone! My day is full of making sure every person and every pet has what they need! Walking, sleeping, eating, drinking, and mess making-someone has to take care of it all! I have a good sized yard and a nice wooded park with walking paths nearby for daily walks and outside time. Our home is clean and comfortable with big kids coming and going who love animals like I do!

“Dina was very nice and made sure to send plenty of pictures, videos and descriptions about each of her visits with Willow. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“After a horrible first experience with a Rover sitter, Kyleigh is a breath of needed fresh air. She has a great energy and took excellent care of my cats. I was able to enjoy my cousin’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. I genuinely look forward to hopefully booking with her again for my next vacation this summer.”
“Jaden was such a huge help! She was so good with my 2 cats and took wonderful care of them, while also keeping me up to date on how they were doing while I was out of town. One of my cats is very wary of new people, and Jaden was even able to win her over much more than I had expected! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. Also with Jaden being a vet tech, I knew that I could have such peace knowing my cats were incredibly safe and happy in her care. Definitely recommend!”

“Charissa was amazing with our last minute planning and willing to babysit our fur baby. Our pup loves attention and affection from anyone and everyone but he felt completely at home within her home and that’s the best feeling when you know your pet is doing well. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.”
“She was wonderful with our two dogs. She offered to make our dog, who had a belly ache, some broth. She sent pictures throughout the day. Overall great experience.”

“Jordan was exactly what my wife and I needed for our dog Rosie. We found ourselves unexpectedly needing a someone to watch Rosie for the day while my wife and I attended a weeding in town. Because Rosie needs some special attention after having been attacked when she was younger by another dog, it was important to find someone that could take care of Rosie the way she needed. Jordan was just that. She was easy to communicate with a responsive during Rosie’s entire stay, talking me through what she was up to and sending pictures and videos as well. Jordan even went above and beyond by introducing Rosie to her wonderfully well behaved and trained dog. Rosie can be unpredictable with other dogs, but She got along just fine with Jordan’s Shepard. I’d gladly bring Rosie back here any time I’m in town and would recommend anyone looking for a sitter do the same.”
“We are so very lucky that Mai was able to help us out in a pinch! She was very communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and taking care of our girl as if she were her own! Will definitely use Mai again.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”

“We're new pet parents. We've had our 8 month old Goldendoodle, Boone, for close to 3 months. We needed to find reliable and loving care for our boy. Stacey was awesome. She arranged a meet and greet at her home and Boone was instantly at home, playing with her dogs and their toys. She's a very caring, loving person and her love for animals is evident.

I enjoy caring for dogs and playing with them and or just relaxing with them. I am currently working part-time. 2-4 days a week 6 hour shifts. Meaning more time with pets.

Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.
About: Hello! I have grown up with and taken care of dogs since 7 years old, and have been a pet parent since 22 years old. A few years ago, I worked at a doggy day care facility in Gaithersburg, MD, for 2.5 years before moving to Lititz, PA. From that experience, I learned firsthand about body language, signs, and signals to ensure safety for all dogs I was responsible for. I have senior experience as well, as my parents' dog, a 15-year-old lab mix, receives medications daily. I would care for her very often while still living in Maryland.

If your dog is looking for a calm and quiet environment with constant company/supervision, I would love to have them! I only take one dog per day for daycare. I want to make your pup comfortable and relaxed while in my care, so please let me know his/ her likes and dislikes, and what an ideal day might look like for he/she. I currently offer day care, drop-ins, and walks. For daycare, I only take one dog per day. I do also require a meet and greet to make sure your pup will be a good fit. I do not host dogs with poor house manners, have behavioral issues in any form, or are not housebroken. My priorities are for your dog to have fun, be safe, and enjoy their time with Poppy and me!

I work at home on my online business. I can easily accommodate pet sitting visits round my schedule.

Being a student creates lots of flexibility, specifically mid afternoon to night! I also can do early mornings and weekends if they are planned ahead. Respecting animals space and reading body language is incredibly important when going into their home and walking them! Understanding what they are comfortable with and creating a safe environment is top priority. Lots of treats are required lol!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: I have years of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would watch my friend’s dog when they would go on vacation, one of which was a senior dog. I am currently avalible after 5pm M-F I’d be available all weekdays after that time for evening walks or care. Weekends I’m available all day. All pets and homes will be handled with care and consideration. I know how to work multiple harnesses and crates if need be. I am familiar with different gates as well.
“Amy is very conscientious and has an obvious love for dogs. She will go above and beyond in caring for your furbaby! I have asked her to take care of my dog many times, and she is dependable and provides ample updates on each visit.”
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!

“Morgan has been walking my dog for about a year. I am a healthcare worker and she has been so flexible with my schedule, even coming some evenings if I have to work night shift. She is the absolute best.”
About: Hi, my name is katie, I am a fur mom to my handsome boy tiger who is a Dutch shepherd mix pit. He is a very happy and spoiled fella. I am also a mom to my cat Knox who is an amazing boy, he loves his treats and red light play time. I took animal science in high school for 3 years and was also an FFA member. I have a strong compassion for all animals! I’ve raised dogs, cats to squirrels and birds. Anytime my family or friends needs a pet sitter, I am the first one to be called. I love all animals and care deeply about their well-being. Pets are family to me as they would be to you. I am a LPN that works PRN in long term care. I have more free time than I would like to admit. I love to help others out with their pets on my free time because as a dog and cat mom, I know how worrisome it can be to make sure they are reviving the proper care they need while I’m away. I live in a good size neighborhood where my dog tiger gets lots of fresh air and exercise. He loves bird and squirrel watching. I also live where there is a park about 1 mile from me that has tons of space to rome around and enjoy.

“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Definitely my new favorite sitter. My dog is very corky and likes a bunch of attention and they provided what he needed to be himself and feel like he was home when I was out of town. He was clearly happy to have hands on people who cared about making him feel safe and loved and that means alot when finding a sitter”
“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”
“Kristin and Jeremy were amazing with Moxxie! Kristin provided thoughtful updates and adorable pictures while we were away, and it was clear she was in great hands. She came home clean, happy, and completely worn out (in the best way). Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive sitters! We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Angelita was such a great sitter for my puppy. She provided a little bed with a pillow and blanket for my baby and knew immediately what my dog's interests were. She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”
“Genalind was communicative and understanding of schedule changes with the snow storm. I liked working with her, and it seemed like my dog enjoyed her time with her too!”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
About: As an experienced dog foster, I have cared for more than 25 dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, representing a wide variety of breeds and sizes. In addition, I was the proud owner of four dogs who each lived long, happy lives and reached their senior years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the important role pets play as beloved members of the family. As a school teacher, I enjoy a very flexible schedule during the summer months and would love the opportunity to support families who need a safe, loving temporary home for their four-legged companions. Whether your pet needs overnight care, companionship during the day, or some extra exercise and attention, I am committed to providing the same level of care and affection that I would give my own dogs. As a teacher, I am currently on summer break, so I have availability daily throughout the week for play sessions and dog walks. I am also available for multi-night lodging. When you’re here, you’re family. Any animal under my care will be treated as one of my own. But with me, you get a whole family who are all trained in caring for dogs and cats, as each member of the household has been involved with fostering pups and raising kitties. The second floor of the house is separated by a door at the top of the stairs to allow separation between feline and canine friends if needed. Daily photos and FaceTime are available. We have multiple-sized dog crates if crating is requested. Although we may be new faces to your four legged companions, we will try to keep consistency in the rules you have at your home. If they are allowed on your couch, then they will be here. Feeding schedule will be dictated by how they ate at home. Walks will be frequent and there is a huge box of dog toys and cat toys to keep them entertained.
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”
“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”
“Vicky is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She asked lots of great questions to get to know Daisy and her routines before meeting her. During the stay Vicky shared pictures and videos to keep me updated. The communications let me know Daisy was being well cared for and having a wonderful stay.”
“What can I say!, I am so glad that I chose Stacy to care for my dogs. She treated them like if they were part of the family. She kept me updated often and sent lots of pictures! I 10/10 recommend!!”
“I really can't rave enough about how wonderful Jordan is. We have two 3 1/2 year old German Shepherd and one is very reactive. During their stay, we received videos and I was so pleased to see how happy and comfortable my girls were. They were running and playing and my "reactive" dog was as calm as could be. She took to Jordan right away and was not affected at all by the other dogs. Jordan REALLY knows what she is doing! I'm already trying to book my girls for another stay next month!”
