“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!”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Angelita is 10/10! Her care of our Boston terrier was superb. Communications around our reservation was seamless and pleasant. When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”
“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”
“Kira was amazing with Charlie and agreed to a week long stay with a semi short notice. She provided updates on her own and when asked. No complaints and would use her services again!”
“This was first time Timmy, our 5 year jackapoo, was ever away from home without us. Timmy is very much attached to us and we’re very protective of him. My mother-in-law just turned 100 and my wife arranged a large family gathering for a 4 Day Florida celebration where her mother resides. We scheduled a meet snd greet with Amy and Patrick, Timmy and ourselves. We immediately felt that Timmy would be in good hands and Amy and Patrick disappoint. We received pictures and videos daily of Timmy on walks, playing and at bedtime. They followed our directions for feeding and treats to the letter! We highly recommend Amy and Patrick if you are looking for loving and caring folks to take care of doggie while you are away. They’re the best!”
“So happy I found Donna on River. She took care of my Bud-Bud over the Thanksgiving holiday. She made him feel at ease in her home and around her family. Daily pictures of him helped to ease my stress. I could tell he was very well taken care of. Worth every penny and more. She is a true dog lover.”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“Amanda was great! She took good care of our dog and kept us up to date on how she was doing. Amanda was flexible with pick up and drop off. We will be booking Amanda again!”
“Most wonderful sitter and the best overall experience- from initial contact to pickup. Excellent communication and obviously provided great care for my precious pup. Will book again soon.”
“We had quickly sold our home and needed to go house shopping. Andrew agreed to watch our gooldendoodle on short notice. When we got back in town our pup seemed happy. I would recommend Andrew”
“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.”
“Jordan is awesome! She’s responsive, very accommodating and has a great setup on her property for outdoors play. Bo has separation anxiety, but Jordan made him feel incredibly safe and comfortable right from the start. Highly recommend!”
“Dolly must have had a wonderful time with Beth and the family. I'm not even so sure she's glad to be home. Lol. We will definitely reach out to Beth next time we need Dolly to go in vacation.”
“I booked a very last minute week of overnight boarding for my 6 month old puppy Puck. D and B were both great and clearly well versed in puppy training issues. Nice family home. Puck even got to sleep with their 11 child every night! They sent photos daily with updates and accommodated my schedule changing for his drop off and pickup. I will definitely be using them again.”
“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!”

“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!”
“I can’t recommend Katie more. She dropped in with our cat Zia for 6 nights while we were on a trip. We finally didn’t have to worry if our pet sitter would show up or not. Katie was prompt each day and gave so much care and attention to our needy cat.”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry, and very diligent about responding to any questions. My cat recently returned from a vet visit with several daily medications which he needed while I was out of town, and Jennifer was able to administer an oral pill, a crushed pill, and a liquid medication with an oral syringe with no problem. My cat was staying with my mom (she's unable to administer his meds) and she immediately called me after Jennifer's first visit absolutely beaming with how great she was with my cat, how skilled she was at administering his meds, and what a wonderful friendly person she was in general. It's scary to leave your pets in someone else's hands, but I would absolutely trust Jennifer for any future needs and will be recommending her to all nearby friends and family members for any pet sitting needs. She has 6 cats of her own, so knows her stuff. Even when my cat hid under the bed on her last visit, she managed to coax him out and do everything. She was very communicative the entire time. (In case you can't tell, I simply can't say enough positive things about Jennifer because I'm so incredibly grateful for how well she took care of my little guy when I was out of town. It was such a relief to know he was not just in good hands, but genuinely caring hands). Thank you Jennifer!”
“Kathy did a wonderful job not only caring for my cats as if they were her own, but her communication with me was above and beyond. I felt very secure that my cats were well taken care of during our vacation and she made a sincere effort to befriend and nuture our pets when we couldn’t be there. I would highly recommend and will be booking Kathy again on our next trip!”

“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”

Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.
“Angelita was super friendly, energetic, positive, and welcoming this week. Our dogs were happy to get to her place and begin exploring every morning. Thank you, Angelita, for five great days!”
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.

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 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 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!

About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for over a 2 years. I work at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic. I have two dogs of my own. 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. I will be having a baby in February! So cat litter is something I cannot handle at this time. When I am there I will take them out as much as they would like. I will feed them the exact time you normally do. I will sleep with them so they know they are not alone. I will take them on daily walks. Or I will do what you are most comfortable with closest to your routine.
“My little boy loved daycare at Heather and Spencer's. He romped with her poodles, took a nice snooze, and had kisses galore for Heather. Already booked our next play date.”
“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.”

If your animals are staying in our home, they’ll have access to a spacious yard where dogs can play and run freely. We also have a small dog and a cat who are well-socialized and have done well with other animals during previous stays. However, if any pets need to be separated for comfort or safety, our home is set up to accommodate that easily and without stress. Our main services include boards and drop ins. We also offer house sitting services; however, please note that we are not available for overnight stays at this time. We have a large, open yard where dogs can play and get plenty of exercise, as well as a designated playpen area in our basement for indoor fun and safety.

“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.”
“Mai was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue and took great care of her while we were in town for our daughter’s college graduation. She has a beautiful space for pups and is so kind. Highly recommend Mai!!!”
“Lynnea was so great with our two pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates as the day progressed, and she took them out many times over the course of the day. Her pup Ruger was also so sweet and well-behaved with our older dogs. We will be using Lynnea again the next time we’re in the area! ?”
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. I live with my Lab best friend, Poppy. I have a 2-story house with plenty of room for your pup, plus a backyard (which I plan to fence in in the near future). I work from home 90% of the time, so your pup will be hanging out with Poppy and me all day, with the flexibility to take several breaks and walks throughout the day. 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!

“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. Boone thoroughly enjoyed himself and didn't even care when I left. I wasn't sure if he's would leave to come back home! We will definitely use Stacy again and highly recommend her for your fur babies. Oh she also sent us a picture of him and it appeared he was smiling.”

I understand how important routines are for animals and will work to keep your pet's schedule as consistent as possible while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and household routines. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep pets on leash during walks unless otherwise instructed in a safe enclosed area, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and other small animals. I also know how important communication is for pet owners.

About: Hi! I am a college student looking for opportunities to earn some money while doing what I enjoy most-hanging out with animals! I have sat for family, friends, and anyone else who needs help, and would love to be trusted enough to walk/sit/watch your dog. 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!

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.

When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”

“This was first time Timmy, our 5 year jackapoo, was ever away from home without us. Timmy is very much attached to us and we’re very protective of him. My mother-in-law just turned 100 and my wife arranged a large family gathering for a 4 Day Florida celebration where her mother resides. We scheduled a meet snd greet with Amy and Patrick, Timmy and ourselves. We immediately felt that Timmy would be in good hands and Amy and Patrick disappoint. We received pictures and videos daily of Timmy on walks, playing and at bedtime. They followed our directions for feeding and treats to the letter! We highly recommend Amy and Patrick if you are looking for loving and caring folks to take care of doggie while you are away. They’re the best!”
