“I would leave more than 5 stars if I could. Sam was amazing! We reached out when our usual sitter was unavailable and Sam was so awesome she'll be the first person we ask in the future. She was super consistent in times she came and went above and beyond our directions. Sam sent a ton of pics and set aside time for play every visit. Our cats are kinda shy with strangers but by the end of the week they were sitting on her lap and playing. I would recommend Sam to anybody looking for a fantastic sitter for their cats!”

About: QUICK HEADS UP: My partner and I are planning to move sometime in 2026. We don’t have a solid timeline yet. Also, I am currently back in school and this may mean my daily schedule looks a little different at times, but everything I am learning directly benefits the dogs in my care. taking courses to become a Canine Behavior Consultant.Please please be patient with me during this transitional year. And don’t worry we’re only moving about 20 minutes away, so all my regulars will still be comfortably in my radius! ❤️ BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ THIS ❤️ For stays longer than four days and for holidays the rate is higher and I want to explain why. This is not a nine to five job. It is a twenty four seven commitment. Most visiting dogs cannot be left alone at all, and because of that I miss a lot. I skip family events. I rearrange appointments. I lose sleep when dogs are anxious or cannot settle their first night. I stay up if someone is vomiting from nerves. I cancel plans when a dog needs more support than expected. I spend weekends inside when other people are out living life because a pup needs constant supervision. I put your dogs above everything else in my personal life, including my own family at times. I only take one family pack at a time. Your dogs get my full focus and a safe space without the chaos that comes from mixing multiple families. I take them on real hikes, give them real enrichment, and use high quality human grade treats because visiting dogs need both movement and mental work to settle in a new place. I even go as far as renting out private land for dogs who are leash reactive or for pups who need a huge fenced in area with tons of acres to burn off anxiety and energy in a safe way. I share the smiling pictures and the fun adventures, but there is a lot that happens behind the scenes to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and stable. This level of care takes real time, real sacrifice, and real dedication, and that is why I am firm in my pricing. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and honestly… they’ve shaped a huge part of who I am. I live with my Italian Greyhound pretty much 24/7 (he has separation anxiety and I wouldn’t have it any other way), so I’m very used to the “velcro dog” lifestyle. Because of him, I’m super tuned into the little things.. their routines, their quirks, their sensitivities, and all the ways they try to communicate. I also grew up with Dobermans, so I’m no stranger to big, smart, emotional dogs who need confidence, structure, and someone who actually pays attention. That upbringing taught me patience, consistency, and to always advocate for the dog in front of me. I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life..even my two skinny pigs who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. They were tiny, but trust me, they had huge personalities and fit right in with visiting pups. Between my own dogs, my extended family’s dogs, and the endless stream of personalities I meet through boarding, I’ve gotten really comfortable reading different temperaments. Cuddly lap dogs, anxious shadow followers, high energy explorers, the “I’m independent but also please never leave me” types. I love them all and adjust to whatever they need. I’ve also worked with dogs who aren’t always easy around others. I take things slow, keep everyone safe, and create an environment where every dog can relax and feel secure. Safety and understanding always come first. At the end of the day, every dog who stays with me becomes part of my little crew. I’m not a kennel! They live life with me. Walks, snuggles, routines, the whole thing. Your pup will be cared for exactly how I care for my own: with intention, patience, and a lot of love. ❤️ Dog boarding is my full time thing now. No side jobs and no juggling. This is truly what I do every day. The dogs are part of everything I am doing, whether I am folding laundry, watering plants, or working out in the yard. When the weather is warm we are outside a ton getting fresh air, exploring, and just living life together. A few times a year I take short breaks to focus on my own dog Luigi, and to reset my mental health. It keeps our home running smoothly and makes sure every dog who stays with us gets a calm, consistent, happy environment. When I am at my best, your pups get the best. I know what it feels like to hand your dog to someone else and hope they truly understand them. That is why I take safety so seriously. Quality always comes before quantity in my home. I am very selective about how many dogs I accept at one time, and most of the time your dog or dogs will be the only ones staying with us. On rare occasions, this may include a dog who has already stayed with me multiple times and has an emergency come up. In those situations, all pet parents involved are notified and asked for permission before anything is confirmed. I have a fenced in yard and I am always outside with the dogs. When we drive they are buckled into a harness every single time. I carry first aid in my car and in my hiking backpack because being prepared matters. I use Apple AirTags when we leave the house so I always know where your pup is. If your dog is leash reactive or nervous I plan ahead. I research quiet trails, low traffic times, and when needed I rent private land so it is only us and there are no surprises. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is safe, understood, and protected. Trust is earned, and I show it through every decision I make.
“Faith was on time for our drop in visits; she asked questions when needed and answered any question(s) I had while away. She was willing to change or clean litter but was not necessary and sent many pics of my kitten. She followed my feeding instructions for my kitten and updates me on what he ate and litter "issues". I would easily use Faith again or recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve had dogs literally my entire life, and lots of other pets! I grew up with labs and Rottweilers as the family dogs and now have a blue heeler of my own. My dog is my kid! I have the flexibility with my schedule to help you with yours while you’re out, too! I work full time, but it’s flexible, so I’m happy to help you! I’m typically gone from 9am-1pm, but that can vary, too. We can set up a schedule, or contact me for a one time walk. I’m happy to come to your home to let them out in the yard, or take them for a walk around the block. Just let me know what your pet needs!

About: Hi! I'm a teacher in the Lancaster area looking to spend my summers doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I have extensive experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and animal care, and I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. One of my most rewarding experiences has been serving as a volunteer puppy raiser for service dogs throughout college and even before then. This role taught me the importance of consistency, patience, training, and providing a safe, loving environment for dogs as they develop important skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I'm patient with shy dogs, energetic pups, and senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I'm a teacher looking for a fun and rewarding way to spend my summers, and pet care is a perfect fit. During the summer months, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon adventures, I can accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. You can count on me to provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates while your pet is with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through patience, consistency, and communication. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while always prioritizing their safety.

My dog and I go for several long walks per day and will sit outside and play fetch as well. My dog is very friendly and good with other dogs.

“Giselle was amazing with our dog, Henry. She stayed in touch the whole time we were gone, updating us with pictures and videos. Henry was in such a great hands.
