“Heaven was a great sitter for our pup Zara! Our original Rover sitter had a last minute cancelation and Heaven stepped in with a days notice. Would highly recommend!”
“We are so lucky to have found Jessica to watch our dog while on a trip this summer. The pictures and updates were appreciated and it was clear our dog was also enjoying a vacation of her own!”
“Christy was awesome! She was very friendly and welcoming and sent me lots of pictures of our pup during his stay! We will defiantly be using her again and would highly recommend her services!”
“This is the second time Amber has watched my pups. It is such a relief to be able to go on a vacation and not be stressed about leaving your pups. She updated me and sent pics daily. My pups really enjoy the stays and its like a vacation for them too. Thank you again, Amber”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“We were very pleased with Debbie W. The setup is welcoming for a new dog, as long as the dog is friendly with other dogs, as ours is. They have a big fenced-in yard so that the dogs can spend lots of time outdoors. Debbie sent us lots of updates while our dog with staying with her, so that we were reassured the dog was doing well. This included how she ate and slept, which are the two most important pieces of information.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Adriana take care of my 5-month-old pit bull mix, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she showed genuine love and care for my pup. She took the time to understand his needs and habits, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe while I was away. Adriana kept me updated with messages and photos, which really eased my worries. It was clear that my dog was having a great time with her! She engaged him in playtime, took him on walks, and even made sure he was fed on his regular schedule. I could see how much she truly enjoys spending time with dogs, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets, Adriana is the perfect choice!”
“Wonderful people with hearts of gold! They cared for our dog like he was their own—he had an incredible time filled with long walks, playful moments, and lots of love. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Anna was very kind great communication kept me updated about my puppy. Happy and huskies are a handful..

About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“Can not say enough great things about our experience. Glenn was absolutely great with communication and you can clearly tell he knows how important our pets are to us. I will always check for his services first for anything my Maxie will need. Maxie stayed with him for a week and frankly, I think she’s disappointed to come home!”
“Highly recommend Lorraine! We rescued our dog Westley from a kill shelter so he is very timid and skittish around new people. We also have never left him with anyone before. Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates. I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for Westley and plan on using Lorraine in the future!”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Jennifer and Jon were fantastic!! Our 8 month old King Charles Spaniel was taken care of and treated like family. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and were kept updated about Maisy’s activities. It was wonderful to go away for the weekend and have no worries that our puppy was in great hands. We will definitely have our precious puppy stay with them again!! We give Jennifer and Jon our highest recommendation without reservation!!”
“SHE WAS AMAZINGGG, my baby Valentina seemed so happy and calm at her house! She sent me updates whenever I asked :) she was great, good communication, everything was good I’m leaving my baby kitty with her next time.!”
“Joann and Angelina were amazing with our dog! My Sully is a very anxious pup and attached to his humans. This makes it hard to leave him with someone new. Joann and Angelina made this difficult thing to do so much easier! Joann texted me throughout the day and even sent me some pictures to assure me that he was okay. Oh and their dog Remi is such a sweet boy and loves people and was so good with accepting my dog as well. Our day went longer than we expected and Joann and Angelina were willing to help out longer than expected. I am so thankful to them for taking care of my dog and will definitely book with them again when needed.”
“Cheyenne takes excellent care of our Lainey! She keeps us updated daily as to how she’s doing and Lainey loves her puppies Cheetos & Popcorn. We are definitely at ease when we’re away knowing the care Lainey is getting and highly recommended Cheyenne.”
“Michelle and her family are amazing. They took wonderful care of our 7 month old Great Dane puppy. Michelle is super knowledgeable about all things dog. Her and her husband are friendly, helpful people who truly care about the animals. I received multiple photos of my puppy throughout my weekend away along with some highlights on how she was doing. We will definitely be bringing our puppy back to Michelle.”
“Jessica is excellent. Kept us informed throughout the whole time. She sent us picks and walked China with her dogs. China seemed very happy near her and her dogs. If I visit PA again and need a pet sitter/boarding, I will def. Will look for her services.”

“Jannan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Callie. Callie warmed up to her right away and it seemed like she really enjoyed her company. I would recommend Jannan to anyone looking for a kind and caring pet sitter! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”

About: I’m a proud dog mom to a Mini Goldendoodle who turns 2 on June 28. She’s the sweetest, friendliest little girl and truly a part of my family. Spending every day with her has taught me so much about the love, patience, and attention that dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, giving extra cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. What sets me apart is that I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I know my dog is my baby, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, kindness, and care. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy and having fun Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already spend my days caring for my own dog. Adding another dog to the mix doesn't feel like work to me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm used to daily walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and all the little things that come with being a dog parent. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended in situations that could put them at risk.
About: I used to hate cats when I was a kid until I got my first cat, Sombra. She was found on the side of the road as a kitten by a friend and asked if my mother and I could take her in. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give her a chance. 9 years later, and I love her to death, despite her feisty attitude. Most recently,2 years ago, I found 2 more black kittens in an abandoned building, a brother and sister. We took them in with the intention of fostering them until they were old enough to adopt out, but unfortunately, since black cats aren't popular, no one wanted them. I decided to keep them for myself, and now Milan and Marcille are happily living together, with Sombra. (all of my cats are indoor cats)

Depending on the service, I can be there for a full overnight stay, anytime from Wed-Mon. If it's a simple walk, I will usually try to be there 10 minutes in advance. No matter what, my schedule is open In my home my dogs are always leashed when outside. My cats always have fresh litter, water and food. My dogs get fresh water 1-2 times per day. Depending on the service requested, I can make sure they're fed, empty their litter, water, anything to make sure they're comfortable! You'll get a picture each time I visit of your fur baby to let you know they're alright.

“Amber did a wonderful job checking in on my cat Sophie, allowing my mind to be at ease while on vacation. Sophie was well taken care of and I appreciated the updates/pictures too. Will definitely book again for future trips/vacations and recommend to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles ect. since I was 10. I have dogs of my own and they are my children. I absolutely love animals and enjoy every chance I get to be around them. We also have a litter so I’ve also been taking care of puppies for the past 3 months. It’s been a wonderful experience watching them grow up and hard to see them go to their furever homes. I’m off two days a week and I’m available everyday after 3. I also have vacation time that I can take as well if needed. I care for my own pets in my home. Caring for others pets I would go to their home and care for them. Getting them out for walks and playtime is important for them.

“I was worried about leaving my Bella with a sitter because I'd never done it. Christy was very sweet and assured me my baby would be fine. She allowed me to stay in her home for a few minutes to see how Bella would interact with her dogs and family. I got pictures and videos and that made me feel much better. I was very anxious but was able to enjoy the day with my husband. Thank you Christy for taking good care of my baby.”

About: I’ve been around animals for over 10 years and have experience caring for my own pets, including my two cats and two dogs. I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for all kinds of furry friends, just as I would for my own ! I currently manage my own home-based business so I have a very flexible schedule.

I make sure they’re fed, walked, and entertained as per your instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“Fluffy had a wonderful time with Amber! It's not often that Fluffy has the opportunity to play with other dogs her size, so this was certainly a treat for her. Judging the by the pictures from her Rover card, it's evident that Fluffy was spoiled with attention and love during her stay. I will DEFINITELY be booking Amber again in the future and recommend all others to do the same!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Jule was amazing! She exceeded any and all expectations we had. She was prompt with pickup and drop off. I received pictures and updates throughout the day. All in all we had an AMAZING first experience and look forward to using her for future doggie sitting needs.”

I have a very large yard for exploring and the pets are welcome in my home. Most importantly I will focus on what the owners think is most important for their pet.

About: I’ve had several dogs since childhood. I got my great pyrenees when I was 15; she lived 13 years and I cared for her until the end.

If you’ll be out for a long evening, I can usually make a visit around dinner time or later if need be. I am comfortable taking dogs into a yard to run and play, or taking them on a short walk around town to get some exercise and go to the bathroom.

If I have enough notice I can take off if need be but I can also help before or after work and on weekends! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.
About: I am very active, I play college soccer and during the summers I like to find things that keep me active everyday! I have 4 dogs of my own ranging from 20lbs to 90lbs. I have had dogs all my life and cleaning up after them and making sure they have time outside is nothing new to me. I also have 3 cats that even play with my dogs! My dogs are very well trained and I bring them everywhere I go. They keep me active and fit which is very well needed when returning to school to play soccer. I would be more than happy to walk and watch other dogs than my own to keep me busy! This would be very beneficial for me!

“Heaven was a great sitter for our pup Zara! Our original Rover sitter had a last minute cancelation and Heaven stepped in with a days notice. Would highly recommend!”
“We are so lucky to have found Jessica to watch our dog while on a trip this summer. The pictures and updates were appreciated and it was clear our dog was also enjoying a vacation of her own!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Adriana take care of my 5-month-old pit bull mix, and I can't recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she showed genuine love and care for my pup. She took the time to understand his needs and habits, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe while I was away. Adriana kept me updated with messages and photos, which really eased my worries. It was clear that my dog was having a great time with her! She engaged him in playtime, took him on walks, and even made sure he was fed on his regular schedule. I could see how much she truly enjoys spending time with dogs, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets, Adriana is the perfect choice!”

About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“Highly recommend Lorraine! We rescued our dog Westley from a kill shelter so he is very timid and skittish around new people. We also have never left him with anyone before. Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates. I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for Westley and plan on using Lorraine in the future!”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“SHE WAS AMAZINGGG, my baby Valentina seemed so happy and calm at her house! She sent me updates whenever I asked :) she was great, good communication, everything was good I’m leaving my baby kitty with her next time.!”
“Cheyenne takes excellent care of our Lainey! She keeps us updated daily as to how she’s doing and Lainey loves her puppies Cheetos & Popcorn. We are definitely at ease when we’re away knowing the care Lainey is getting and highly recommended Cheyenne.”
“Michelle and her family are amazing. They took wonderful care of our 7 month old Great Dane puppy. Michelle is super knowledgeable about all things dog. Her and her husband are friendly, helpful people who truly care about the animals. I received multiple photos of my puppy throughout my weekend away along with some highlights on how she was doing. We will definitely be bringing our puppy back to Michelle.”
“Jessica is excellent. Kept us informed throughout the whole time. She sent us picks and walked China with her dogs. China seemed very happy near her and her dogs. If I visit PA again and need a pet sitter/boarding, I will def. Will look for her services.”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a Mini Goldendoodle who turns 2 on June 28. She’s the sweetest, friendliest little girl and truly a part of my family. Spending every day with her has taught me so much about the love, patience, and attention that dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, giving extra cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. What sets me apart is that I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I know my dog is my baby, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, kindness, and care. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy and having fun Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already spend my days caring for my own dog. Adding another dog to the mix doesn't feel like work to me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm used to daily walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and all the little things that come with being a dog parent. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended in situations that could put them at risk.
