“Jaideep was very communicative and easily accommodated my early morning drop off and pick up. He sent pictures of Sasha looking very content during her stay with him, and kept me updated on everything. I’m just passing through the area, but if you’re local to Harrisburg, PA then definitely book him!”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“The most outstanding sitters of all time. They truly took care of my dog like he was their own, gave me constant updates and always made sure my dog felt comfortable happy and healthy no matter what the extent. They really out did themselves! :)”

“Angel did a tremendous job taking care of my new three month old English bulldog. English bulldogs typically require different needs than other breeds. Angel kept me updated throughout my vacation with pictures and videos to show how well Russell was doing. Russell seemed to have a great time With the rest of the group. And you have someone like Angel who cares greatly about her own animals you know that your pet is in great hands. Thanks Angel for a great job.”
“Michelle did a fantastic job with my pup. She followed all my little tips for feeding her, went on walks, made sure my dog wasn’t anxious, and made my pup feel at home. Michelle also sent pics of my pup, was very flexible for drill-off and pick-up times, and was very communicative! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Laura was great! She took such great care of Maurice, our senior dog. She sent constant updates, including pictures and videos, showing us how happy he was to be in such a caring environment. The space she has for her “guests” is top-notch. It has separate spaces for multiple dogs, all with couches, blankets, toys and cameras so they are never really alone. He came home happy and healthy! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Cooper and Sydney certainly seemed to have made themselves at home with the wonderful care of Letisia and her family. Getting pictures was a real treat and showed us just how comfortable our labradoodles were there. Letisia quickly responds to questions. Amazing pet sitter and we will definitely look to her again for future needs!”

“We will definitely use Rosa again. She is fast to respond. We took our little girl for a meet and greet and we knew then she would be fine. Rosa and her daughters were great! She sent lots of pictures and videos. Zara was well cared for and loved.”
“They did an amazing job with Jax. Said that Jax got along great with there dogs. Great communication and was so understanding with my flight cancellations to come back home to get him. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've taken care of a few different types of dogs but mostly pitbulls. I love to play, if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. It'd be great to take them to a dog park with my pup or just out and about. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park or go for scenic walk and spend extra time outside if its nice. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out 9pm. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues.

“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
“Lily did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She communicated with us as requested and kept us updated on how our kitty was doing. Would absolutely recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Nicole was wonderful. She was very responsive, understanding, and patient. We had a lot of unexpected things happen after we booked with Nicole, but she was very flexible and worked with us. She even sent me pictures of my cutie-pie while we were away. We will definitely be booking Nicole again.”
About: I am new to the pet sitting world, but have had my own cat for over 5 years now! She is my whole world. I will go the extra mile to make sure your cat is taken care of and loved. My services include house visits, scooping the litter box, feeding, playing, and general care for your cat. I’m a teacher so I have some extra availability depending on the time of year! Perfect for summer vacations or holiday trips. During the school year, I am able to do some weekends and evenings.
“Been working with Sadie for a couple of years now, and she's always been a tremendous help. Even when we had to start giving one of our cats injections for his health, she was super flexible and willing to do so, and did an amazing job! I always have peace of mind whenever I book her to look after our boys.”
“Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.”

About: I LOVE cats and dogs! Growing up my family always had fluffy cats and big dogs around the house! I had 3 Ragdoll cats that I loved dearly; and I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and they are the loves of our lives <3. I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team!
“Olivia was a great sitter for Gordon. She was willing to meet beforehand to go over things. And asked questions as needed. Going by the pictures and updates she provided, Gordon took to her and he was content while she was here. I will definitely use her pet/house sitting services again.”
“Victoria takes cat-sitting to another level! My kitty can tend to be shy around new people, but Victoria has such a calm, friendly presence that he warmed up to her almost immediately the first time, and on this re-booking, remembered her and was instantly comfortable with her again. She took such good, thoughtful, above-and-beyond care of him while i was out of town, that I would very highly recommend her to anyone - she is a pleasure to work with, and a top-notch cat care-giver!”
About: My strongest background is in cat care, and most of my professional experience has come from working directly with cats in a rescue shelter setting. I spent years supporting cats with every personality and need, from confident social friends to shy friends who shut down from stress. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical care, behavior support, and safe handling for cats in all conditions. My work included caring for furry friends who were anxious, grieving, recovering from medical procedures, or adjusting to major changes, and I learned how to respond with calm guidance and steady communication. I have managed medication routines, wound care, special diets, mobility challenges, and long term treatment plans for cats who rely on consistent support. My behavior experience includes reading subtle body language, supporting stressed or overwhelmed friends, and helping cats build confidence through gentle interaction and predictable routines. I have also fostered many different cats, including seniors, kittens, medical cases, and friends who needed extra time to feel safe in a home environment. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. My personal connection to cats is just as strong as my professional one. I grew up with cats, loved them even during the times when I didn’t have any around, and now share my life with two cats I rescued off the streets. I love my cats as fiercely as I love my child, and I would do anything for them. Caring for them every day has deepened my understanding of how cats communicate through small gestures, quiet moments, and the comfort they look for when they feel understood. Every furry friend is welcomed with patience, respect, and genuine care. Whether a cat arrives playful, unsure, energetic, or needing quiet reassurance, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their personality, medical needs, and emotional state.
“We are so grateful for Michael and his excellent care of Morpheus! We needed a sitter last minute and he was super flexible. Also sent some amazing pictures of Morphy! Would definitely book with him again!”
“Aleks was great with my dogs. One has anxiety with new people and she was so kind and gentle that Hazel was sad to see her go. She also went above and beyond for my animals. Although I did not specifically request it, she still went out of her way to give my cat treats and love.”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: When I met my wife I was a what I would say is an entry level cat person. Now I’m the expert. Any situations that normally arise I have gone through. Having 2 cats with different energy levels has taught me how to approach different cats with different needs. I will be happy to play, feed, and clean up after cats as needed. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
About: Hello! Justin and I have both had all types of pets our entire lives. Dogs, cats, birds, fish and even a few reptiles! Justin is the son of a veterinarian and has had experience with many types of animals. Our daughters have never not shared a home with a furry best friend and are both nurturing animal lovers. We currently share our home with a very lovable hound mix pup (Finn) that we adopted from a local rescue at 4 months old. We also adopted an adult rescue kitty (Lewis) in the spring of 2022. Lewis and Finn are best buddies! Finn’s mission in life is to befriend everyone he meets, especially dogs!! He’d love to be your pups BFF while staying in our home. We have a gated deck that leads to a fenced in pup play area to safely and leisurely enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on nice days. We enjoy taking frequent walks in our very low traffic rural neighborhood. Our family would love to provide your pup with a loving, safe retreat while you enjoy a guilt free getaway knowing your best friend is being well taken care of and treated like part of the family. Caring for pets is my full time job so I can accommodate your pups needs and give him lots of attention throughout the day and night. I am the primary care giver and Justin fills in when I need to run an errand or have an appointment. Our home is very puppy proofed because our doggy can be mischievous. Our kitty has full run of the lower level of our home but he does come up and interact with everyone.
“Rosa is the absolute BEST!!! My normal pet sitter at home was not available. We were visiting Hershey Park from out of state and decided to contract a sitter close to the park. Rosa sent me updates the entire day. And I could see how loved and care for my puppy was. Rosa and her daughters are warm and kind. If I am ever in the area and need a pet sitter, I know where I want my baby to come.. Thank you, Rosa & family 💕”
“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 am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”
About: I have a friendly 4 year-old boxer mix at home who I’ve raised since 8 weeks old, so your dog will always have a safe, social playmate. I’m very familiar with dog behavior & training, routines, and keeping things structured but fun. There’s also a dog park in my neighborhood, so I can offer extra playtime and exercise depending on your dog’s needs. I keep my rates affordable while still making sure your dog gets plenty of attention, activity, and care as well as extra socialization with another dog. My services are ideal for dogs who enjoy companionship, play, and a home environment. I make it a point to consistently ensure any of my furry guests ample time for walks, play, and treats (at your discretion) so your pup feels like they’re on a vacation! I provide attentive in-home pet care by following your dog’s personalized routine: feeding, walking, playtime, and TLC. Your furry friend receives care and companionship in their familiar environment.
“Dawn took wonderful care of our dog while we stopped at Hershey Park in the middle of a road trip. She was a great communicator, responsive, and was able to be flexible to our pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a playmate, some good human snuggles, and a walk. He loved his day at Dawn’s!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
“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!!”
“Was able to provide excellent last minute car and was very flexible with my last minute drop off and pick up time fluctuations. I would definitely use Sowmya again in the future.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since day one! From playful pups to cuddly cats, I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I share my days with an energetic dog who keeps me on my toes, and I can’t wait to bring that same fun, adventure, and care to your pet’s day! I share my days with a lovable Goldendoodle who fills my life with joy, keeps me on my toes, as well as making every day brighter! We take our dog on daily walks. This helps to get both our kids and dog some exercise. I feed our dog two times a day. This schedule will be flexible for us to have another dog in the house and give it attention.
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I provide a calm, attentive home environment where pets are treated like family and receive plenty of love, playtime, and regular walks. I share my home with cats, so dogs must be comfortable around them. My cats are well-adjusted and do well with dogs, but they may choose to hide around higher-energy pups. They are not comfortable being chased or cornered, so I only accept dogs that are respectful of their space. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes, from small dogs to large breeds, as well as pets with different temperaments. I’m also experienced with special needs pets and administering medications, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and behavior. I provide consistent supervision and personalized care to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for everyone in my home. You can also expect regular updates with photos, so you always feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I closely follow each pet’s established routine: feeding, walks, and any special care, to create a familiar, low-stress environment. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment and only accept dogs from one family at a time. This allows for a lower-stress stay and ensures your dog receives my full attention and personalized care. Each dog’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the owner to maintain their normal routine. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs must be house-trained, cat-friendly, and able to coexist respectfully in a home environment. I offer Meet & Greets for all new clients so we can ensure a good fit for everyone. Additionally, my experience working on Rover’s Trust & Safety team has given me a strong understanding of pet behavior, risk awareness, and best practices in providing safe, reliable care.

“Laura has been very caring and flexible to our new pups needs. She’s even shared some training tips with us so we’re all on the same page with making our puppy into the best boy! She’s new to the Harrisburg area so I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new dog sitter.”
About: I’ve pet sat for my neighbors whenever they’ve gone on long trips, taking care of feeding, walks, and general companionship so their pets feel comfortable and safe while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently studying for my CPA exam, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I can study anywhere and take breaks whenever needed, which means I’m able to be flexible with visit times too. Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, and any specific rules they have. I double-check that doors and gates are locked before and after each visit, keep pets on leash during walks unless told otherwise, and watch closely for any signs of stress or illness. I send photo and text updates so owners always know their pet is safe and comfortable while they’re away!
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! My name is Ash and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies.

I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior. I’m currently in online school for my Medical Assistant (MA) license, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have always been surrounded by cats and dogs and would not have it any other way. Currently in-between jobs so I am pretty flexible. I will be returning to school in the near future, but that will be online, so will not change my schedule too much. I do not have a fenced-in yard and am not looking to watch pets at my house as I already have my own dogs here.
About: I’ve helped my mom take care of her dog since he was a puppy. I like to stop by and provide him with an enriching walk, some much needed playtime or even some pets and a relaxing staycation. I’ve also assisted my grandmother with her senior dog in the past. Although she was a senior pup it didn’t mean she deserved any less care. Making sure she was comfortable in her later years was something I valued deeply. I currently have a part time job generally working Monday-Friday from 5am-10am (times vary slightly). This schedule leaves me with a lot of time during the day that I’m looking to fill with a satisfying and fulfilling side gig. I care for my dog at home by providing him with enriching activities such as a leisurely walk, some simple fetch, going on a car ride locally so he can experience more smells or testing his nose by letting him find treats around the yard.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
About: I have spent over four years working hands on in a busy rescue shelter, providing daily husbandry, medical care, behavioral support, and safe handling for animal friends of every temperament and condition. I supported new arrivals who came in confident and social, shy friends who shut down from stress, and pets who needed calm guidance before they felt safe. Working with furry friends who were excited, anxious, grieving, fearful, or adjusting to major life changes taught me how to respond with patience, steady communication, and professional skill. My background includes senior care, medical needs support, and specialized routines for friends who rely on consistency. I have managed medication schedules, wound care, mobility challenges, special diets, and emotional needs with confidence. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical procedures, behavior observation, and safe handling for friends in all conditions. I am trained in SAFER assessment handling and comfortable supporting pets who benefit from structure, reassurance, and predictable routines. I am equally confident with playful energetic friends who enjoy activity and quiet friends who prefer soft company and peaceful days. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. In addition to hands on care, I also worked in customer experience at the shelter, helping match our furry friends with the right adopters. I learned how important it is to understand each friend’s personality, needs, and comfort level so I could communicate clearly and honestly with potential adopters. I spent time getting to know our friends, explaining their needs, and helping families understand what would make the best fit. Guiding adopters through those decisions taught me how to advocate for each friend with clarity, kindness, and confidence. Every furry friend is welcomed with respect, understanding, and genuine care. Whether a pet arrives full of energy, feeling uncertain, or simply looking for a reliable presence, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their age, personality, medical needs, and emotional state. I recently made the difficult but exciting decision to pause my career and stay home with my little one. During this chapter of life, I am also pursuing my education to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, allowing me to combine my love for animals with continued learning and professional growth. As a result, my schedule remains flexible and open, giving me the opportunity to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. If you have specific scheduling requests, I am always happy to discuss options and find a solution that works well for both of us! I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own, taking the time to learn their routines, preferences, and unique personalities.I'm a big believer in clear communication and appreciate detailed instructions.

About: I have multiple years experience with cats and dogs. I grew up a dog family but when I meet my wife i was pushed into cat duty. I turned out to love cats and couldn’t see our life without them. For my full time job I work third shift at a local university. Flexibility is very much appreciated when it comes to schedules as I sleep most evening. I can accommodate most requests with flexible daytime visits and afternoon walks. I can do evening visits on weekends. I can preform any tasks needed, including walks, feeding, play time, and clean ups as needed. I look forward to meeting your fury friend I work third shift so morning, daytime and early evening are no problem. I can also make later evening happen on my way to work I have 2 cats at home that are well loved. We care for family dogs also when vacations arise. I have auto feeders for our cats to make sure they are well fed.
“Julie's affection for dogs is truly heartwarming, and her dedication to their care is commendable. Not only does she exude love, but her adept communication skills make every interaction with us and our beloved dog, Sebastian, a delightful experience.”
“This is our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier. We are SO thankful to have found Andy! She is such a wonderful person with a clear love for animals! Her communication is fantastic. She sends us updates of how the walk/visit went, including great pictures and videos of our puppy Eggo! We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️”
About: Hello! Justin and I have both had all types of pets our entire lives. Dogs, cats, birds, fish and even a few reptiles! Justin is the son of a veterinarian and has had experience with many types of animals. Our daughters have never not shared a home with a furry best friend and are both nurturing animal lovers. We currently share our home with a very lovable hound mix pup (Finn) that we adopted from a local rescue at 4 months old. We also adopted an adult rescue kitty (Lewis) in the spring of 2022. Lewis and Finn are best buddies! Finn’s mission in life is to befriend everyone he meets, especially dogs!! He’d love to be your pups BFF while staying in our home. We have a gated deck that leads to a fenced in pup play area to safely and leisurely enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on nice days. We enjoy taking frequent walks in our very low traffic rural neighborhood. Our family would love to provide your pup with a loving, safe retreat while you enjoy a guilt free getaway knowing your best friend is being well taken care of and treated like part of the family. Caring for pets is my full time job so I can accommodate your pups needs and give him lots of attention throughout the day and night. I am the primary care giver and Justin fills in when I need to run an errand or have an appointment. Our home is very puppy proofed because our doggy can be mischievous. Our kitty has full run of the lower level of our home but he does come up and interact with everyone.
About: With years of hands-on experience, I’ve been passionate about pets from a young age. Growing up with two dogs and two cats in the family, I learned the importance of love and responsibility in animal care. My first "job" was dogsitting for friends and family, and later, I spent 9 months at a reputable pet boarding and training facility, leading private activities and swims with dogs. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or any other animal, I genuinely adore them all and treat each one like family! As a full-time college student, I prioritize balancing my studies with my love for animals. Whether it's volunteering at the local animal shelter, dog sitting on weekends, or spending downtime with any pets I know, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my routine. It’s a rewarding way to unwind while staying connected to what I love most—animals! I have stayed in clients homes over night to care for their dogs and I have only heard great feedback. I love sending cute pictures of pets to their parents as well as having a furry friend to cuddle up with during overnights!
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and been around different types of dogs my entire life. I know the temperament of dogs and how they are. It would work because I have open availability.

I believe friend ship between dogs are important. Dogs are life

“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Laura was great! She took such great care of Maurice, our senior dog. She sent constant updates, including pictures and videos, showing us how happy he was to be in such a caring environment. The space she has for her “guests” is top-notch. It has separate spaces for multiple dogs, all with couches, blankets, toys and cameras so they are never really alone. He came home happy and healthy! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Cooper and Sydney certainly seemed to have made themselves at home with the wonderful care of Letisia and her family. Getting pictures was a real treat and showed us just how comfortable our labradoodles were there. Letisia quickly responds to questions. Amazing pet sitter and we will definitely look to her again for future needs!”

“Our dogs loved being with Sandra and her family. They took such great care of our fur babies. Kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pics. Was flexible with our drop off and pick up which was super helpful.”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
