“Michaela and her husband were such kind people to my pup! I dropped off a happy dog and returned with an even happier one! Definitely will be coming to them again when I need someone to watch her.”
“We found ourselves in a suboptimal temporary housing situation and needed a place for our cat, Pharaoh, to stay for several weeks until our new lease started. Crystal and her family went above and beyond to help us out, offering us advice and kindness on top of taking excellent care of Pharaoh. We visited several times over the course of his stay and every time we were so pleased to see how happy and comfortable he was despite the sudden change of environment. This was our first time boarding Pharaoh and we were nervous about how he would handle it, but thanks to Crystal and her family's love and care, it went super smoothly. The peace of mind that came with knowing that Pharaoh was in good hands was priceless. We can't recommend Crystal and her services highly enough and will absolutely turn to her for our future boarding needs.”
“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately.

I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”

Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”

She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”

About: I was raised with cats in the home. I currently have an 8 year old loving/crazy ginger who just loves attention. He has gone through 3 UTI's within the last 5 years, which has caused me to pay attention to his diet, but still give him some healthy treats. I don't have anything that would 100% stick out from other cat lovers, but what I do know is that I will never disappoint. :)

“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over three years and truly love spending time with animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family.

“The first time Keri helped with our cat Junie was a last minute situation and we were so thankful she could fill in! Junie always seems so happy to see Keri in her pictures, and is clearly well taken care of when we get home. Keri is quick to respond and definitely an animal lover!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: Going up as a kid I have helped care for multiple animals including dogs that were being pet sitted in our home. I have also cared for my own animals, cats and horses, over the last 23 years. In this time I have worked at a horse boarding facility and have done horse sitting for neighbors while they were on vacation. Currently I have 2 dogs which I watch and walk on a regular basis for friends and this has prompted me to want to do this for others as well. I do have experience caring for wounds and giving oral/topical medication. I have also done insulin shots in the past but it has been a while. I currently work full-time Monday thru Thursday and would have available time Thursday evening thru Sunday evening to perform walks or other pet siting needs. I routinely inspect the home space yours or mine for hazards and cleanliness. I currently have a small fenced area where your dog can easily have free time. I also enjoy visiting dog parks and walking well maintained trails. If pet sitting for a cat litter boxes will be cleaned 2x daily or as requested by client.

About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats
“Katlyn was a wonderful sitter for my cat! At each visit she sent me a detailed update with pictures, and the updates really helped me feel at ease about leaving my cat alone. She spent time with her by playing with her and petting her, and it made me feel that Roxy was being well cared for.”

They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone
About: Growing up I have always had dogs and cats. Currently I share 2 dogs and 3 cats. One I have had for about 6 years and the other for 2. I love animals! I can walk, feed, shower, watch/play with any dog! I’m available most times of the day unless I have class. I am a full time graduate student. Most mornings, afternoons, and evenings are great. I regularly take my dogs on walks so that should be no problem-same with bathing. Having a fenced yard would be great, but it is not needed. I love to play and snuggle as well if your dog is comfortable with that haha. I would also like to bring my sister to some of the house sitting nights for safety reasons if that’s alright!
About: Iv had dogs as pets from the time I was a toddler till now. All dogs love me even difficult ones! I have almost 40 acres of land with a creek and plenty of room to run. I work nights so I'm home all day with my pets and kids then I come home on break at night so I'm able to come home to let my dogs out and tend to them. I care for my pets as they are my children. Pets are family and deserve to be treated that way. U have to respect the way people choose to raise their pets.

“Michaela and her husband were such kind people to my pup! I dropped off a happy dog and returned with an even happier one! Definitely will be coming to them again when I need someone to watch her.”
“We found ourselves in a suboptimal temporary housing situation and needed a place for our cat, Pharaoh, to stay for several weeks until our new lease started. Crystal and her family went above and beyond to help us out, offering us advice and kindness on top of taking excellent care of Pharaoh. We visited several times over the course of his stay and every time we were so pleased to see how happy and comfortable he was despite the sudden change of environment. This was our first time boarding Pharaoh and we were nervous about how he would handle it, but thanks to Crystal and her family's love and care, it went super smoothly. The peace of mind that came with knowing that Pharaoh was in good hands was priceless. We can't recommend Crystal and her services highly enough and will absolutely turn to her for our future boarding needs.”

“This was my first time leaving my 8yo pitbull lab mix Maui Wowie with a non-family member and it went off without a hitch! Sandra has a fantastic rural property that any dog will love.

About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
