“Our two pups were well taken care of and had a great time. Absolutely loved the fenced in yard and daily walks. Thank you so much for making their first experience seamless. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Janet is the best sitter ever! She loves my little diva and treats her like her own fur-baby. She is so sweet and kind, so caring and truly enjoys what she does. I will 100% use Janet whenever I'm out of town, because I know my little doggie will be well-cared for, and let's just say it, truly spoilt - which I love! Janet is the best!”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
“5 Stars are not enough to describe the love, care, and attention Kelly provides at her wonderful doggie camp. I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time in over a year and now after a few days at camp with Kelly I cannot believe I was so fortunate to find someone like her. This was the most amazing experience for my dog and for me. Kelly provided the most fun experience for him- taking him on lots of adventures, introducing him to some new friends, and giving him lots of love and attention. She sent the most amazing updates and pictures throughout the day. I had such peace of mind throughout my entire time away traveling.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing while keeping our lab pup! She was very kind and clear about what his stay would be like during our meet and greet, and she sent updates and photos throughout to let us know how he was doing. I had 100% confidence that he was playing, getting love and having a great time. The dogs have a great yard to play in and plenty of toys and spots for naps. I’m very thankful to have found Mary and will definitely be using her in the future as we go out of town!”
“Our puppy is just like another child to our family. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Steve and could tell she had a great time while we were away. We are thankful to have found this service and will definitely be in contact with them again.”
“Jennifer was super flexible, provided daily updates with pictures, and I’m not sure Jandy wanted to come home! She went on daily walks and had a great time- highly recommended and I would absolutely use again! Thanks so much for everything!”
“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
“I usually travel with my dog, but somethings it’s just not possible, and that’s when Hiedi comes to the rescue! I feel 100% great about leaving my pup with Hiedi——it’s like a little vacation for her, too. She has so much fun there, and I don’t worry about her for a second. I’ve never had such peace of mind about boarding before, and it’s a GREAT feeling!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Luann was absolutely wonderful. My Willow is only 8 months old and had never stayed somewhere outside our home and was very anxious and unsettled at night. Luann made special accommodations for her, sacrificing her own sleep schedule to try and settle Willow. She also watched out for Leroy (our newly christened "tripod" dog as he was still healing from surgery. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their dog to stay.”
“We had such a great experience with Bryan! He sent frequent updates and tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for a week. It was clear that our dog Lua was having an amazing time—not only with him, but also playing with the other boarding dogs and even interacting with his cats. We could tell Lua felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time we were away . We will absolutely be using Bryan again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter!”
“Callie and Chloe stayed with Amanda for 3 nights while we visited the beautiful sights in Watkins Glen. I especially liked that she actually has a connection to a local vet. The pups seemed very happy and well cared for. She is very pleasant and was cooperative with some changing times.”
“Tara was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter so we were nervous. Meeting Tara she put us at ease and I knew she was the right choice. She frequently updated us and sent pictures. She took such great care of our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to family and friends.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“Adalia is fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Luxe with her for the week. She kept me updated and Luxe came home her same happy self. Will def use her again.”

“Meagan is our go to for all of our vacations! She is reliable, dependant and is extremely trust worthy! We don't give a sec thought about allowing Meagan into our home when we are away! She sends detailed updates and tons of pictures! Absolutely the best...we just love her! 😊”
“Kristin took great care of our two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. It’s clear she loves all animals. She was very communicative and always sent pictures, and our boys were very happy with their new friend!”
“Ariel was great with my two special needs cats. And the hummingbirds were happy too when I got back. She clearly understands and loves animals, was timely and thorough. What more could you ask for??”
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with 4 years of medical experience in the veterinary field including medication administration, fear-free restraint, and client education (among many other skills). I have a strong affinity for loving on pets and using my knowledge to provide education to pet owners. I do not shy away from elderly pets, special needs pets, or pets with daily medication regimens. I like to provide peace of mind to my clients that their pets are cared for as if they were my own. If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask! I am currently a full-time LVT with open availability on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and the hopes of expanding that availability with time and interest. I am an open and honest person with years of experience not only in animal medical care, but also in cleaning homes and respecting individual and animal automony and privacy. I largely believe in listening to animal body language and recognize an animals limits to ensure a healthy and trusting relationship is made with your pet.
“Mary Kate is a very nice and loves animals. Sshe took care of my border collie this past weekend. Timely updates and sent me pictures of Katrina out playing in my yard. I highly recommend Mary Kate to care for your pets.”
About: I love all kinds of cats and all different personalities. I am experienced in feeding, litter cleaning, and grooming cats. It may sound strange but I also am experienced in cat walking.
About: My family is a dog family through and through. I grew up with two dogs in the household at all times, and the rule still stands. Animals have always been a part of my life no matter the lens you look through. Living in a friendly neighborhood allowed me to care for other dogs since I was 12. From sitting, to walking, to simply feeding, I was normally the one to do it! I am an energetic 22 year old who adores playing with any and every furry friend and to get paid doing it!? Sign me up!! Currently, I am an upcoming senior at Bloomsburg University. I am studying Secondary Education with a concentration in English so there is not much work for me to do in the summer since school is out and there is no work in the districts. I am heavily available and will be more than happy to take last minute scheduling if it's an emergency or desperation - go on that date! I will always treat your animals like my own. They will get plenty of loving and I'm expecting some slobbery kisses in return. I don't find much gross in regards to sickness, medical conditions, excitement pees, or simply slobber because I have surely seen it all. I am also very understanding with any rules you have for your pets and will do anything I can to abide by them. But if it means skimping out of treats then that may be a little tough. Your furry friend is of upmost importance when I am with them so I swear to never put them in harms way (ie. sketchy roads, carelessness in and out of the house, pulling on their collar when walking, etc.).
About: I’ve had cats since I can ever remember, and i’ve always been obsessed with them. I also worked with cats at my previous job. I’ve learned the connection between a human and a cat. I’ve learned how to make them feel comfortable for the most part, how to be their friend, how to be close, and more. I will treat your babies like they’re my own, and my own babies normal spoiled!
About: I have had many years of experience taking care of multiple cats and a couple of dogs. I love brushing and doing basic grooming maintenance on animals, and I have a little bit of experience administrating medication. I’m currently working full-time, but I am available to pet-sit and walk dogs during most weekends! I am looking for a more long-term set schedule on the weekends. I have several roommates who would love if your dog stopped by to give belly rubs and affection! I am happy to take your dog on fun walks at local parks and around the neighborhood.
About: Your crazy dog stories could never top mine! Dog mom of over 15 years. Currently have a 3 yr old high energy dog. Comfortable caring for any animal of any age. I love all fur babies like my own! I am currently working full-time at night, 5 nights a week. Available mostly any day prior to 3:30pm. Overnights wouldn’t be possible, but could check on your pups before & after work! I am very well versed with all doggy situations. My current situation is not ideal for a dog to come to my home, but checking on yours in their “safe” environment works best!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since the age of 13. I have worked with all ages from young and untrained to senior animals with special needs. I am a trusted animal care employee for many families in my home town. I am a current college student with a lot of time on my hands! I only have classes Monday-Thursday for a few hours between 11-2. I have a fenced in yard in the back of my house that is well taken care of. There are no other dogs or cats in the house. I love taking animals on walks and playing around with them. They will have my full attention. Whatever service or care you maintain in your home will be respected in my home and in my care.
About: Since I was little i have always loved spending time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in 3rd grade and ever since then I have been taking care of dogs. Last December I adopted a puppy and he has been my main priority since. Spending time with dogs is what I believe to be the best way to spend my time! Currently I am a student in highschool and I participate in Track and field. I work at a local golf club, but the schedule is pretty open. I would be open mainly weekends or most weekdays after 5:00 unless I have a track meet. Currently I care for three dogs in my home. Two littles and one very big dog. We have a large yard but we keep our dogs leashes when they go out. Therefore in order to give them exercise we take them on long walks. As a caretaker I would be sure to put your pets safety first as well as any rules you place.

“Molly immediately connected with Jessica and Matthew at the Meet and Greet. They sent pictures every day and Molly had a great time during Doggie Daycare! No worries with them. I will definitely use their services again.”
About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life. In July of 2025, we had to put our 14 year old dog, Roxie, down.. This was very depressing as she was the best girl. I love to be around dogs, and want to ensure they get the best care, whether that be walking or playing ball/fetch, or just snuggles. I hope you reach out for any needs! I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.
About: Experienced in overnight and back-and-forth pet sitting. Can care for puppies to seniors at any hour of the day and night. I am not grossed out by any mess your pet may make and will keep the space clean. Normally work 7-noon 3 days a week. My job is very flexible and could change to suite you and your pets needs! I am very quick with responding if you would need me last minute. My pets that I've had in my home get fed at the same time every day. They are also allowed to go out when they want and get their paws cleaned when they come in. Water is always available to them. You can expect me to do the same with your animals unless told other instructions.

“Thank you so much to Shanea and family for caring for our Boy during a busy trip, and being so lovely and patient with a rapidly changing schedule. We would definitely book Shanea again anytime we are in town!”
About: I have a country setting home and have a mini farm that's slowly growing. My animals are part of my family so they are treated as so. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys and my days consist of caring for my entire family. Have transportation if necessary and an incredible vet if anything God forbid were to happen during my care. Proper care consisting of following proper feeding schedules. Exercise consists of walks at the park and bathing if necessary. Lots of cuddles of pets if necessary and probably if not but definitely observant of pets needs. All animals will be given the respect they deserve. I'm fully aware of all normal dietary restrictions animals have.
“Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!”
“Amanda was great! Winter was crazy and happy as usual when I picked her up from daycare with Amanda so it looked like she had a good time there and was a tired girl on the way home.”
“If there was >5 stars, this would be a time to use it! From the very beginning Janet was an absolute sweetheart, meeting me on the porch to grab my little guy, asking pertinent questions to be sure she was doing the best for him and even putting up low wires in her house to keep him from chewing them (puppy) Dash took to her immediately, tail wagging and kisses like she was an old friend of his, since dogs are a good judge of character, I just knew this was going to be a great day for him. From picture updates, to her summarizing their daily activities for me, I was totally at ease and had a happy heart with my decision to reach out to Janet to keep Dash for the day. She is simply the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs for friends and family since I was 13. I trained my puppy and love playing with dogs of all ages. I currently work from home, which allows me to give your pets the attention they need during the day! I’m at home full time Monday-Friday and am available on weekends. My dogs are uncrated and allowed to be outside in my unfenced yard, though I usually go out with them. For peace of mind, I’ll take your pets out on a leash or a runner. In your home, I can do whatever you’d normally do.
About: I have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies! I enjoy walking in the morning and evening, and if your pup enjoys that they can tag along! The animals will be taken care of just as my own. My dog is spoiled, and loves to snuggle. She’s is not aggressive towards other dogs, she just prefers humans. The animals are allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with Charlie and myself; as my home is their home for the duration of their stay!
“Kelly was fantastic with our two dogs while we visited the Corning Glass Museum. She took them for walks in the woods as well as introduced them to her other boarding dogs. It was nice to see photos of them having a great time. They are the best photos we've ever had of our dogs. The last 1/4 mile to her house is a rough dirt road which would have been a problem if we had our camper or a low car. She was very responsive and it was wonderful to have them enjoy themselves while we went to the museum.”
“Jade is wonderful and my Newfie mix loves visiting her house for doggy daycare. Jade communicates well and is flexible to accommodate drop off and pick up. Her pups play well with him and he always comes home tired from playing!”
About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.
About: I love dogs they can tell. I have a boxer that enjoy running with and playing engaging games. I don't mind walking and running in winter weather. I enjoy working with dogs that want to get out and run but I'm also enjoying working with dogs who have gained some pounds and need a walk... who hasn't been there!? I think happy dogs are less destructive dogs and less distructive dog means happier owner. My hours and availability maybe changing relatively soon, but I am available every day before 8 and every day after 3 im available for overnight stays or weekend stays. I’m not able to board right now but I will be able to board soon! I look forward to hearing from you!!! -Cassi

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: I helped care for family dogs and cats since I was about five years old, feeding, giving water, walking and cleaning up after them until I was 18. I have boarded two dogs for a friend and provided drop-in visits for a former neighbor for about a year after that and worked at a pet hotel from '17-'19 in which time I got a dog training certification. I have some experience taking care of mice and hamsters and would like to learn how to care for rats and snakes. I'm currently looking for part-time work and would be more than happy to provide the love and care that your fur babies require in your absence. I'm also a newer driver and could really use the experience. Afternoons and evenings work best but please don't be shy about asking for morning services. Depending on the service and your pet's needs, I will spend as much time as they need whether it be a brief or long walk, cuddling on the couch, etc. I will be working part-time starting April 14, 2024. I will have a schedule ready sometime afterwards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. I will keep your pet indoors for the most part, depending on the pet. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash when they go out for walks and to potty unless there is a fenced in yard.
“Jessica was great! It was our first time using the site or getting a dog walker and she came to meet us and our dog earlier to put our mind at ease! She was super friendly and walked our dog right when we asked her to!”

About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
“5 Stars are not enough to describe the love, care, and attention Kelly provides at her wonderful doggie camp. I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time in over a year and now after a few days at camp with Kelly I cannot believe I was so fortunate to find someone like her. This was the most amazing experience for my dog and for me. Kelly provided the most fun experience for him- taking him on lots of adventures, introducing him to some new friends, and giving him lots of love and attention. She sent the most amazing updates and pictures throughout the day. I had such peace of mind throughout my entire time away traveling.”
“Our puppy is just like another child to our family. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Steve and could tell she had a great time while we were away. We are thankful to have found this service and will definitely be in contact with them again.”
“Jennifer was super flexible, provided daily updates with pictures, and I’m not sure Jandy wanted to come home! She went on daily walks and had a great time- highly recommended and I would absolutely use again! Thanks so much for everything!”
“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
“I usually travel with my dog, but somethings it’s just not possible, and that’s when Hiedi comes to the rescue! I feel 100% great about leaving my pup with Hiedi——it’s like a little vacation for her, too. She has so much fun there, and I don’t worry about her for a second. I’ve never had such peace of mind about boarding before, and it’s a GREAT feeling!”
“Spencer was fantastic. He was communicative, professional, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for. He was attentive and picked up on little personality details, making the experience even better. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Highly recommend Spencer and would absolutely book with him again.”
“Luann was absolutely wonderful. My Willow is only 8 months old and had never stayed somewhere outside our home and was very anxious and unsettled at night. Luann made special accommodations for her, sacrificing her own sleep schedule to try and settle Willow. She also watched out for Leroy (our newly christened "tripod" dog as he was still healing from surgery. I cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe place for their dog to stay.”
“We had such a great experience with Bryan! He sent frequent updates and tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for a week. It was clear that our dog Lua was having an amazing time—not only with him, but also playing with the other boarding dogs and even interacting with his cats. We could tell Lua felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time we were away . We will absolutely be using Bryan again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter!”
“Callie and Chloe stayed with Amanda for 3 nights while we visited the beautiful sights in Watkins Glen. I especially liked that she actually has a connection to a local vet. The pups seemed very happy and well cared for. She is very pleasant and was cooperative with some changing times.”
“Tara was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. This was the first time leaving our dog with a sitter so we were nervous. Meeting Tara she put us at ease and I knew she was the right choice. She frequently updated us and sent pictures. She took such great care of our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to family and friends.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“Adalia is fantastic. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Luxe with her for the week. She kept me updated and Luxe came home her same happy self. Will def use her again.”
About: I have a country setting home and have a mini farm that's slowly growing. My animals are part of my family so they are treated as so. I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys and my days consist of caring for my entire family. Have transportation if necessary and an incredible vet if anything God forbid were to happen during my care. Proper care consisting of following proper feeding schedules. Exercise consists of walks at the park and bathing if necessary. Lots of cuddles of pets if necessary and probably if not but definitely observant of pets needs. All animals will be given the respect they deserve. I'm fully aware of all normal dietary restrictions animals have.
