“I cannot express enough how amazing Elizabeth was for my two babies. I had to go out of state for a week and this was the first time I needed to find someone to watch both my girls. She sent at least 3 updates everyday with pictures and or videos of them playing. I can’t wait to have her as their permanent dog sitter ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Great home for your furry family member! I had a short notice, didn’t use this family before. Sowmya responded in minutes after my request. She is great in communication. My dog stayed in her house for 24 hours, I had videos and messages about how my dog is doing and eating. It is very clean place which was important to me. I know my dog had a lot of fun, she came home very happy and tired. Do not look any further, highly recommend!”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“Super easy to drop off and pickup. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Also, she was extremely accommodating when we needed to keep extending the number of days. And our dog had a blast. It was like a doggie vacation for her.”
“Jack was so wonderful and took such good care of my dog! He sent pics and updates every day, which made me feel so comfortable! I would highly recommend Jack and will definitely use him again!”
“Maggie absolutely loves staying with Miss Bobbi. Miss Bobbi takes such good care of all her little babies. I know when I leave Maggie with Bobbi, she will be loved and looked after. Even after Maggie has left Miss Bobbi's care, Miss Bobbi checks in on Mag to make sure she is OK. I 100% recommend Miss Bobbi, and 100% appreciate having her available to watch Maggie.”
“Nova seemed very comfortable staying with Jaideep and family. He sent several updates a day and it was very nice knowing that she was happy with them. I am rebooking for another trip and definitely feel better knowing she is in good hands.”
“Flurry had an amazing time staying with Pam and Mike. She loved all the other dogs and they were so great sending pictures and even videos of her stay with them.”
“The most incredible sitters, they always treat my dog like their own. Always provide thorough updates and make me feel completely at ease when I travel. They are they absolute best!”
“Gia had a great time at Angel and Ken’s! She can’t wait for her next visit. They took excellent care of our senior girl and treated her like part of their family. Thank you!”
“Teresa is great!! She took care of our two dogs on two different occasions and I had no worries. She sent me pictures and shared how they were doing. I would definitely leave my two babies in her care in the future.”
“Absolutely phenomenal! They took such great care of our dog while we were away. She experienced some separation anxiety and they handled it with love and attention. We will certainly rebook :)”
“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”
“Kathy did a great job caring for our Chelsea for an overnight stay! Chelsea was very happy when she came home. She was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Kathy. We look forward to a future stay!”
“Vasumathy is such a loving and knowledgeable dog sitter. She took care of our golden doodle for the weekend and she was absolutely fabulous about all the aspects of dogcare. She also gave us great insights about dogfood and some great tips. When I met gattu on Sunday afternoon for pick ups, he was calm and content which showed that he was safe and was in good hands. We will definitely use Vasumathy again for our future vacations!”
“Wonderful folks! I'm happy for daily updates and details on my kitties. They helped feel comfortable and allowed them to slowly open up. Definitely would rebook in the future if needed.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
“Anna was a wonderful gift to caring for my senior dog. She came over on an additional day, just to learn about all of the complexities involved. She corresponded well with me while I was on the other side of the country. It helped keep my anxiety over my beloved pet way down! Anna is professional and detail oriented, and I would gladly hire her again.”
“Kari took such great care of our kitties while we were on vacation. I know they had a great time based on picture proof 😂 she will make you feel at ease leaving your babies ❤️”
“Jess did a fantastic job taking care of our little kitty while we were gone. She was super responsive, sent us pics and updates, and Sophia loved her. We would definitely work with Jess again and can highly recommend her.”
“We reached out to Kayla to watch our cat over the long holiday weekend with minimal notice and she was more than accommodating and made booking very easy! She is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. She sent updates and photos every day, and Tut always looked happy and well cared for! Her family really welcomed him like one of their own. We will definitely use her again if the need arises!”
About: Hello! I have always had dogs in my home since I was born, and I have been helping to take care of them for years. We currently have 3 happy dogs in the home, who are all very friendly! I am very accustomed to giving pills or special food on a schedule along with frequent potty breaks. I would love to take care of your dog in your home, following any requirements necessary to make them be comfortable. I am able to make a few stop ins at your home during the day, or I can stay at your home with your dog to keep them company and be there for any needs. I love to play with the dogs and allow them to feel like a part of the family! I grew up owning horses and have been around livestock my entire life. The last three summers I worked on ranches out west where I cared for both horses and cattle. I am also able to provide my services to farm sit. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be able to stay in your home with your furry friend and provide the best care possible. I offer pet sitting in your home, as well as drop in visits, and dog walking. When I am staying in your home with your dog, I can take care of watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out trash, etc.
“Haley was such a great sitter while I was out of town! I always feel sad leaving my kitty but I felt so much better knowing that she had someone hanging out with and loving on her! Haley had great communication and I got lots of pictures so I didn’t have to miss my kitty *too* much. Definitely recommend her services if you need someone to give your pets some love while you’re away!”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing attentive and loving care while their owners were away. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications (if required), walking, playing, and ensuring the dogs' overall well-being. I have a strong understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. I also make it a priority to follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs or special routines. Through my dog sitting experience, I have developed excellent communication skills with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday/Friday. My work hours are typically from 6AM until 3:30/4 PM. I can easily care for dogs after work, as well as before if an overnight is requested. I have 2 Golden retrievers myself, so I am used to playing fetch for hours as long as nice walks at the end of the day.
“Paige came for some drop-in visits for my two Rhodesian Ridgebacks while I was at work. The dogs loved her during our meet-and-greet so I had no worries she would take great care of them while I was away. I will be booking Paige for reoccurring visits and plan to use her more in the future!”
About: IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). I’ve had considerable experience with cats and other pets — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting (so far I’ve done house sitting for friends). I’m a calm, patient person, and cats really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so your cat isn’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy cats the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a cat’s nervous, I’ll speak softly and let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my cats feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat!
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I love taking care of them. I can care for all types and sizes. I would treat your animal like they are my own. I do plan on going in to a vet tech program very soon. So I would be able to give care if needed. I currently do not work. So I have plenty of type to take care of your animals. I tend to wake up pretty early, so I would be able to let your animals out early in the morning. I can care for your pet in the way that feels the most comfortable to you. If you would rather them stay out of crates and me play with them or if you want them in a crate. It is all up to you and I will treat them however you want me to.

“Last minute reservation. Elizabeth was flexible and communicated quickly whenever I messaged her asking how they were as I am an anxious hover dog mom lol! I felt safe leaving my dogs with her and they came home nice and tired after playing all day :)”
“They were absolutely amazing to communicate with. Our little Meeka would come home so tired from playing with them. They were able to help us very last minute and we couldn’t thank them enough. I was very weary about dropping my little girl off with strangers but after talking with them the night before all my worries went away. I cant tell you how amazing these two and their family are”
“This was the first time using Josie as a sitter. I was nervous about leaving Charli with someone that I had never met before. However, after reading her other reviews my worries lessened. Josie kept me posted throughout the day with notes and pictures which also lessened the anxiety. I hope to be using Josie as a sitter again in the near future.”
“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”
“Amazing! Picked up our dog and he was as happy as could be! They sent plenty of photos and updates! Nanuk had plenty of friends to play with and definitely did not want to leave!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs - a Dalmatian pupy, a Doberman from puppy to adulthood, various labs, and now, a yorkie. I love taking them on long walks and enjoying the weather. I saw my soul pet through dementia and early stage heart failure and now have an active puppy- I’m used to all levels of activity for dogs and administering medications. I’m not afraid of cleaning up messes and am happy to take time to meet your dog’s unique needs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can fit your pup’s needs into my day. I have a puppy of my own so i understand the importance of routine and adhering to a schedule. I love walks and am not afraid of a little weather - there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing for it. Rain, snow, or heat won’t bother me! In your home or mine, I can address whatever needs you have for your pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tether and use that or a leash. Dogs are not allowed outside without a leash or tether at my house. I’m most comfortable with dogs being leashed until I know their recall abilities with me. The health and safety of your pet is of the utmost importance to me!
“Heinz had SO much fun with Angela and her family! Angela was great to watch him last minute and we were so happy that she did! He is still all puppy, with lots of playful energy, and he was exhausted after a fun day with Angela! So much so he fell asleep on the way home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for doggie sitting needs!”
“If you are in the Carlisle, PA, area, please consider using Victoria C. and her family as your sitter. It was only a half a day stay but we were able to do a meet and greet before the actual date. She was very attentive and sent pictures to us showing what he was doing. We could tell by Blaze's body language he was happy with his stay. They walked him several times in their backyard and was able to get him to play ball with them. Next time we are in town we will use them again, we highly recommend them.”
“David is very patient and caring, great petsitter for your dog, He listens to your detailed instructions for doggie daycare and I'm sure for boarding as well. My Jovie got lots of exercise in fenced in backyard and very nice neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your dog during the day and evening. I had no worries leaving him at his house, sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything.”
“Although our boy had a bad case of separation anxiety during his day care visit, they worked with him to make him comfortable, played with him and took him for long walks. Appreciate their patience and kindness 🙏”
About: Experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication reminders, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and shy pets who need extra patience and comfort. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs.

Clean, safe, and loving environment with access to a dog park for fun walks and exercise. Perfect for pets who enjoy playtime and attention. Pets will always be supervised, cared for closely, and treated like family.
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”
“Jaideep is wonderful with my husky!! My husky is shy around men but Jaideep is definitely a dog whisperer!! He has changed my husky from being shy to my husky not wanting to leave Jaideep's house!!🤣 If you want someone who's attentive and cares about your dog Jaideep is your guy! Highly recommend!! Will be using Jaideep in the future!!”
“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5. I’ve always been in charge of their wellbeing. I currently have 4 pets so handling a couple more fur babies isn’t a problem for me. Either they’re big or small. I’ll treat them as my own. I currently am not working so I will be with your fur baby 24/7. I am very strict with feeding times, potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run. I also live a block away from the park so a nice walk would be able to happen as well. My family has a total of 4 cats and three dogs but not to worry all dogs are very friendly and I will be there at all times during interaction if anything where to happen. Our cats are super chill too they don’t want nothing to do with our dogs or humans.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and been caring for them since I was a teenager. I have my own 3 year old dog who loves other dogs! I will treat your pet as my own and keep you updated so you know they are in good hands! I work from home so I will give your pet 24/7 attention. I have a fenced in yard where they can run around with my dog, but we also can separate them for down time. I will treat your pet and your home as if they are my own. I know how seriously we, as pet owners, are about leaving our pets with other people.

About: I have always had dogs and cats and love animals sometimes more than people, LOL! I have retired from my business career and now getting to enjoy caring for your furry children. I am happy to walk your dogs and do whatever you need for them to be comfortable while you are away. I am currently working full time but will be retiring soon. At this time, I will be available to care for your furry friends on the weekends but in the coming year will also be available throughout the week. I am a trustworthy, reliable person and always put my best effort into everything I do! I look forward to caring for your furry friend!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.
About: I’ve had and taken care of pets ever since I can remember! Friends and family have relied on me to take care of all their pets’ needs, from young to old.

I will meet all of your pets' needs and take care of them like they're my own! I am a careful person, so your pets' comfort and safety will always be at the forefront of my mind!
About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
About: Hi, I’m Jillian! What sets me apart from other dog sitters is how deeply I care for animals, not just as a job, but as a real passion. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s taking them on peaceful walks or just being there to keep them company. I walk my own dog every day and regularly watch my neighbors’ dogs, treating each one like family. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, where walking and spending time with the dogs truly fills my cup. Every dog I care for gets my full attention, love, and respect, because to me, they’re more than pets; they’re companions who deserve the best. Right now I am on summer break. I am a teacher in Pennsylvania so I am pretty available most weekdays and weekends. I am also available during the day as well! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I care for every animal with the same attention and love I give my own dog, always keeping an eye on them, making sure they’re happy, secure, and never stressed. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs and routines so they feel safe and at ease. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight stay, you can trust that your pet is in caring, responsible hands with me.
About: Hello! My name is Kacey, and I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong passion for animals. I began caring for pets in elementary school, helping my neighbors by walking their dogs and watching their pets while they were away. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes and a wide variety of breeds. During high school, I also job shadowed at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable hands on knowledge about animal care, behavior, and overall wellbeing. This experience further strengthened my ability to provide attentive and compassionate care. When your pet is in my care, I am committed to going above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family members! I maintain a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs. Even on busy days, I will work to ensure I can fit you in whenever possible. When staying in your home, I will treat it with the utmost respect and leave everything exactly as I found it. I will never make any changes or take any actions without your consent. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority.

About: I live in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. I worked in a Boarding and Grooming Facility for the last 2 years, so I have experience with all breeds and personalities, senior pets and puppies/kittens. I do not believe that there is an aggressive breed. I am efficient in administering medicines properly, including insulin and other injectible medicines. I currently have 7 dogs and 7 cats. (I have a diabetic cat with kidney failure, so I have experience with difficult medical conditions.) I've had dogs and cats for 8+ years. I live on a farm so I'm always on the go. I love playing fetch or tug of war, going for walks or anything else active, but I also enjoy lounging on the couch with my pets as well. My favorite breed is the Labrador Retriever, but I love all the other breeds as well!
“Destiny is a genuine and very caring person who LOVES animals. From the moment my dogs met her, they were all over her and she knew exactly how to speak to and handle them. We took them to a nearby dog park where she was very attentive to them, and made sure to be as inquisitive with me as possible to ensure she makes good decisions when handling the poochies. Thank you Destiny for being such a delight!”

I’d love to meet your cat or dog! IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). My schedule is flexible since I’m retired. I can work around your schedule, or adjust my own to fit what your pet needs. I do have a couple evening meetings each month, and I’m busy on Sunday mornings. I’ve had considerable experience with cats and dogs — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’ll come to your home for drop-in visits and overnight stays; I don’t board people’s pets at my house. I’m also open to caring for other pets. I’m a calm, patient person, and animals really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so pets aren’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, potty breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy pets the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a dog barks, I’ll soothe them with a calm voice; if they pull on the leash, I’ll pause until they settle; if a pet’s shy, I’ll let them come to me. My schedule is flexible since I’m retired.

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
About: I was never allowed a dog as a kid, so I took any opportunity to walk and dog sit my neighbors and family’s dog. I lived with my cousin for 5 years who has a 60 pound St. Bernard mix. And we shared all doggie duties! I am currently unemployed, healing from an Achilles tendon surgery, and work on boats when I am working. I have a wide open schedule and an amazing partner who helps. I am super active even in recovery, and your dogs are part of my healing process! I am very respectful of everyone’s home, and follow all rules set. For example; if there’s no sitting on the furniture, there’s no sitting on the furniture. I take all diets extremely seriously, and I am always ready to play with toys, outside or just hang in the house depending on what your dog in in the mood for!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 8. I have always been the go to friend who watches dogs or helps with training. I absolutely love animals and I love to show them new experiences. I think they deserve to have a good life and make new memories and I hope I can be that for your dog I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time to take care of your puppers. I love to be outside and be active and I would love to take your dog along for the ride I also love to go for truck drives, and my dog loves it as well I do not have a fence yard however, where I live I do have a nice little walking path that I love to go on. I also have a track and a little park near my house that I can also take your dog to
About: I have many years of experience with dogs, cats, and horses. Having grown up on a farm, I’ve taken care of animals from all phases of life. Most recently, I was living in Alaska right outside of Denali National Park. I volunteered in the DNP kennel and have experience with very active pups. Now that I’m back in PA, it’s just me, my two kitties, and sweet pup Remy! I work remotely and am flexible schedule wise, but I’m online from 9-5. As long as there’s good Wi-Fi, I’m there! I can do drop-ins or overnights in your home. I am dependable and value your pets safety. I have experience with “escape artists” as well as pets that have anxiety or aggression towards others. Just provide me with a heads up and let me know what methods typically work best for you and your bud.

“I cannot express enough how amazing Elizabeth was for my two babies. I had to go out of state for a week and this was the first time I needed to find someone to watch both my girls. She sent at least 3 updates everyday with pictures and or videos of them playing. I can’t wait to have her as their permanent dog sitter ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Great home for your furry family member! I had a short notice, didn’t use this family before. Sowmya responded in minutes after my request. She is great in communication. My dog stayed in her house for 24 hours, I had videos and messages about how my dog is doing and eating. It is very clean place which was important to me. I know my dog had a lot of fun, she came home very happy and tired. Do not look any further, highly recommend!”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“Super easy to drop off and pickup. She shared photos and videos throughout the stay. Also, she was extremely accommodating when we needed to keep extending the number of days. And our dog had a blast. It was like a doggie vacation for her.”
“Jack was so wonderful and took such good care of my dog! He sent pics and updates every day, which made me feel so comfortable! I would highly recommend Jack and will definitely use him again!”
“Flurry had an amazing time staying with Pam and Mike. She loved all the other dogs and they were so great sending pictures and even videos of her stay with them.”
“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”

“Our dog, Kallie, had a wonderful time with Heather. She and her husband, Tony, were caring pet parents that made Kallie feel comfortable and like one of their family. They made us comfortable as well, keeping in contact with us and sending fun photos of Kallies visit. Thank you Heather and Tony for taking such good care of our dog and making it possible to fully enjoy our son's wedding day. Would not hesitate to book with Heather again and recommend her services if a loving pet sitter is needed.”
