“Ashley & Jerrell were exceptionally kind & thoughtful, going the extra mile to help us board our dog on short notice during an emergency. Great communication throughout shifting circumstances and they were also very patient with my elderly mother. The only downside was that our dog was crated from 6:30am to 3:30pm while they were at work, but not unexpected.”
“Amy and Patrick took wonderful care of our 7 month old pup. They have great communication, love for animals and are kind and wonderful people. Very highly recommended.

She’s an outstanding sitter and person to trust your fur baby with. We will absolutely reach out to her again. Wish I could give her 10 stars for how fantastic she was!”

“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.”
“Billie did Ana amazing job with our two seniors. We’re always nervous to travel without them because they have their needs and routines that they’re very particular about but you’d think they knew Billie forever with how they settled in. Billie kept in constant contact and sent pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our time away knowing they were safe and being loved. Would definitely recommend Billie for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Kelly was great. She took good care of our dog while we were away. Our dog suffers from seizures and he takes medicine and she was able to handle those special needs without any trouble. She communicated with us if she had any questions. Our dog seemed content and well taken care of when we picked him up.”

“Tania and her family took amazing care of our Mac! We didn’t worry once during our time away, as we knew he was in great hands. Tania is a great communicator, and sent us many pictures of our baby throughout the weekend. When we got there to pick him up, he was in no rush to leave. What a great feeling!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve.

I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we chose Kara! She was very helpful and communicative throughout the process and we felt comfortable leaving her with our cat Beans. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Cynthia was an incredible pet sitter to my two babies Doug and Ozzy while I was away for work. She was on time every time sent me photos and kept me updated constantly knowing that I was worried about them. I highly recommend you using her for your pet's needs. I can't say enough good things about Cynthia and her work ethic but it 100% shows and her love for your animals. I will definitely be using her again for all future needs”
“Bri was great with my 2 cats!! She was willing to learn how to give an insulin injection and did great giving them!! I came home to happy, purring cats that were well taken care of! I appreciated the updates and pictures with each check-in too!! Thanks Bri!!”
“There is no way I can begin to say enough good things about Ash and how well she took care of Bella and our house while we were away. From the very first time Ash came over to meet Bella, it was clear she was going to be a great fit. She and Bella were friends from the start! While we were away, Ash’s communication was excellent. After every visit, she sent detailed and accurate updates about Bella and everything going on around the house. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing Bella was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. It is obvious that Ash genuinely cares about the furry family members she looks after, and that really showed in the way Bella responded to her. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I would highly recommend Ash. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Bella and our home again!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and attentive dog lover who understands that pets are family. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, whether that means long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or just giving them extra cuddles and attention while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and stress-free as possible while giving you confidence that they’re being treated like family every step of the way! I work M-F 8am to 4:30pm. I can provide midday bathroom breaks since I live so close to where I work. I also work from home on Wednesdays. I will treat your pet as if they are my own.

About: Hello, my name is Olivia. I have 9 years of professional experience in the pet care industry and a lifetime of personal pet ownership—including my own dog of 12 years—I offer a level of expertise you can trust. As a stay-at-home mom to two young children, I am home all day and offer highly flexible availability. I am a detail-oriented caregiver who prioritizes safety above all else, from double-checking gates to monitoring surroundings during walks. Whether you have dogs, cats, or exotic pets and reptiles, I am here to help. I provide frequent text updates and pictures to ensure you have total peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My first pet was a cat, I currently own three of my own. I always thought I was a dog person, until I worked at a Vet office and quickly became a cat person! I love all personalities of cats, have administered medications, followed feeding schedules and cared for them including cleaning the litter box.
About: I’m confident in my ability to give your feline the best care and attention they deserve. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cats, my client’s, and my own senior cat for 4 years. With my experience, I know that cats need extra support when it comes to their physical and emotional health. Cats need an extra boost in their diet because they naturally lack the desire to drink water. I know and understand how to keep hydration available. Furthermore, a clean litter box will prevent further stress to your cat and damage to your home. Additionally, I’ve had to give plenty of pets their medication, I know the methods and how careful I have to be while distributing. Most importantly, like any pet, they have their own personality and needs, as your petsitter they will be my top priority. Reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals.

“I can't say enough about Denise !! She treated our dog like it was her own. Eyedrops were required and she didn't hesitate (we have a Rottweiler) I don't want any other pet sitter! SHE'S THE ONE!!”

I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.

“Krista has dropped in and taken care of our dog and also our dog has done doggy daycare with her- both were great experiences! Krista is dependable and sent frequent check ups. Will definitely book with her again!”
“My dog Ireland warmed up to Kellyann when I dropped her off today. Ireland.has never been in a home setting before for daycare. Kellyann kept me informed throughout the day with updates and pics of Ireland. This really helped me to feel secure about my "baby girl" staying there.I would highly recommend contacting Kellyann to take care of your pet!!”
“Amy & Patrick are such kind and considerate sitters. Dusty is high-energy as well as picky when it comes to people she likes. It's obvious she loves spending time with them from her excitement when I drop her off. Amy taught Dusty to "drop it" which even her professional trainer and I couldn't manage. I have complete trust and peace of mind leaving my pup with them.”

“Ashley has been caring for my little dog for 2 years now and we are so grateful!! She is amazing and so kind with my unique dog. My dog gets excited in the car when pulling up in front of her house, and goes running up the stairs as soon as she opens the door, he absolutely loves being there!! Ashley is so generous sending gifts for my dog and giving him extra love and treats while she watches him. We're very grateful to have Ashley in our area!!!”
About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
“I have been bringing my dogs to Angelita weekly for about a year now and I cannot overstate how wonderful she is. She is responsive, flexible in scheduling, and takes such great care of the dogs. She documents their entire day and always sends them home with treats. She even bought them Christmas gifts this year. I truly cant say enough good things.”
“Katiuska did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. She maintained fantastic communication and updates on how our puppy was doing throughout the day. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone, especially if you have a dog that suffers from anxiety, Katiuska took amazing care of him.🥰🥰🥰”

About: I was raised as a child with pets - fish, cats and of course dogs. Growing up we had 2 Irish Setters a Chihuahua and multiple cats. As an adult I started off with just having multiple cats and then began to have dogs enter my life again. I had a very loving Pit Bull for a short period of time and a few years later I adopted a Boston Terrier who is now 13 years old. In addition to my senior dog, I now also have a 1 ½ year old Boston and 1 senior cat. I never had children so these are my kids and my extended family. I do everything I can to ensure they have a loving home and are well cared for and I will do the same for your four-legged kids :) With a lot of patience I have been able to do a few simple commands with my dogs. I have experience with potty training a puppy and also have extensive experience with senior dogs as my senior is currently half blind, has incontinence issues (at times) and has trouble walking. I currently can be home during the day and am usually home in the evenings and on weekends. When I know im pet sitting i stay home so my focus is on your pet. I spend a lot of time playing, walking and giving love to my pets. I will do the same for yours. I have a large unfenced yard but also have a dog park nearby that i utilize. My pets are on a regualr feeding schedule and I will adhere to any directions or special needs you may have,
“Paul was fantastic! Five stars isn't enough. He was extremely prompt, kind, and thorough with his communication from our initial request through pick-up. He took incredible care of our two boys and treated them like family. They were safe and comfortable. We received regular text and photo updates throughout their stay, and it was wonderful to see how much fun they were having. They even came home with a goodie bag of treats! His compassion and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. We can't speak highly enough of Paul and are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. We'll definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup. I am available for boarding, pet sitting, walks, daily check-ins, and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups your furbaby will be more than happy to play with for hours at a time.
“Katlyn has been great with Honey. She is great with providing updates and photos. Her home provides a very calm and soothing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for shy dogs like my Honey.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, and have owned multiple rescue dogs since I was 22 years old. I often assist my neighbors and family with their pets. My dogs are 100% my top priority!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Highmount
About: For the past 18 years, I’ve been a trusted pet sitter and dog walker for family, friends, coworkers, and employers. Today, my husband and I share our home with two cats and an axolotl. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for animals of all ages and needs, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, animals recovering from illness, and those with special physical, emotional, or dietary requirements. Much of this experience comes from caring for my own pets as well as the pets of others. If I am not confident that I can meet your pets needs based on your request I will let you know promptly so you can reach out to another pet sitter who can provide the care your pet needs. I believe animals enrich our lives with unconditional love, companionship, and joy. When they’re in my care, I strive to provide that same level of love, attention, patience, and respect in return. Pet care fits easily into my current daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines and can plan my day around the needs of each pet. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care rather than trying to fit pet care around a busy work schedule. When I first meet a pet, I like to let them approach me at their own pace and take time to build trust. I understand that being separated from their people and meeting someone new can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, needs, routines, and favorite activities so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and happy while their family is away. I also remain attentive to potential hazards and take steps to keep pets safe in their home. I am careful to follow owners instructions for pet care and rules of the home to make sure everyone is safe. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and content. For a pets comfort, I do my best keep their routine and environment as consistent as consistent as possible in the absence of their owners.

“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Billie! She is consistently punctual, incredibly kind, and communicates well. I always know what’s going on thanks to her thoughtful updates, and she’s great about letting me know of any scheduling changes well in advance — usually at least a week ahead, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in caring, reliable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with pets!”

Also, last time she was here we had a horrible maintenance issue on a holiday and she let us know immediately, grabbed a neighbor for help, and called our emergency maintenance and we were so thankful she went above and beyond to keep our pup safe and our house in great shape. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.
About: Hello, my name is Olivia I am a mother of 2 boys and I work a fulltime job on the night shift 9pm to 730am Saturday to Tuesday or Sunday to Wednesday. I have 10 years of professional experience in the pet care industry and a lifetime of personal pet ownership—including my own dog of 12 years and 2 cats—I offer a level of expertise you can trust. I am a detail-oriented caregiver who prioritizes safety above all else, from double-checking gates to monitoring surroundings during walks. Whether you have dogs, cats, or exotic pets and reptiles, I am here to help. I provide frequent text updates and pictures to ensure you have total peace of mind while you’re away. I am a full time stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am home almost 24 hours a day every day. I know how to administer oral medication, take your pet for a walk and provide baths to animals. I am good at keeping pets on their schedules.
“Rebecca was great with my dog Pepper, who is shy at first until she warms up to a new person. I got daily text messages about their morning walks along with photos. She also had some all natural treats for Pepper (after she asked if it was ok for her to have them). I would defiantly use Rebecca again while we are out of town.”
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: I've been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember, from helping train them to giving them a bath n everything in-between. I do have work almost everyday, other then being with my animals lol! Its easier for me, for the morning but will always figure out something if needed in the afternoon Animals are part of the family even if it's our animals or yours. My yard is fenced in its not big, if you give me a list or instructions I'll follow them to the max. The safety of your home n animals and their health is most important.
About: ✨HE/HIM/THEY✨🏳️⚧️✨ I love dogs (and other fur babies) more than anything and I put in 110% to make sure your pet/dog is properly cared for. I've had 5 dogs and had a little dog named Eric (rip) and I've raised and trained him since he was a puppy. I have some vet experience and I've worked at a pet resort so I've been with all kinds of dogs imaginable and I've given them their meds and anything special they need. I've also worked with cats, rats, birds, and fish. ✨Pet CPR Certified✨ *Due to surging gas prices and an attempt to keep prices low for clients I will limit where I’m willing to drive, thank you so much!!*🐶✨ Current Pets: Ember (Shiba-Inu), Aspen (Chow-mix), Quails, 4 cats (Fig, Pancake, Cheddar, Dough)! I work full time, 8hrs at most so your pet would be out with my wife or if they’re crate trained they may be in their crate as my wife works from home, but other than that when I’m home we play in our fenced yard and go for walks! I have a fenced in yard and the pups are kennel trained so if we go out they stay in their houses til we get back. Whatever rules you have for your place, I will follow to the T ☺️
About: I've always had lots of love for pets since a young age. Growing up my family had a house of 2 dogs and 3 cats, which means a lot of bowls to be filled, yard and litter box to be cleaned, and snuggles to be given and received at the end of the night. My on-hand experiences have ranged since 2017 with my own pet sitting clients, worked as a receptionist at a local hospital, and as a caretaker at Petco. I understand the importance of treating pets as if they were my own. Safety, comfortability, and attention are my top priorities when I'm responsible for your beloved furry ones. I am a fresh graduate. My most recent schedule is 6am to 4:30pm Mon-Thurs in the Hellam township area. I am very available and more open Friday, Saturday and Sunday all day. In the past, I had my own senior cat (Sapphire) who I loved and cared for every day for 3 years until she passed onto the rainbow bridge. I personally understand how that bond and connection feels. Although my present living situation at an apartment doesn't allow pets, for the past two years I've been housesitting at my clients' homes. I respect and follow the guidelines of each and every one. During most of client's departure, I've collected or separated mail, trash is out on time, and ensured the home is cleaned for when they return. I enjoy sending daily updates through texting, photos, or videos to the owner with our activities from playing, walking, feeding and napping. Clear communication with dietary, medication, grooming and other needs is my responsibility. I will do everything to the best of my abilities to ensure a stress-free time for my clients and their pets.
“Kara was great when we hired her to check in on our dog while we were both working. I received updates and pictures throughout the visit! Definitely recommend Kara to watch your fur kiddos.”
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs especially my own and they love me and I love them. I just love them so much. I always fall in love and they fall in love with me. It never fails. I’m currently working full time but my schedule allows me to still make time to do other things like enjoy a second job which is good I love to cuddle and play with the babies, love to feed and rub them and even talk to them. They are the best ever
About: Hello! My name is Danielle Martin. I have a master's degree in School Psychology from Millersville University and I work at a local school district. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, cooking, and of course, spending time with all the doggos! I currently have a 6-year-old Bernese Mountain Mix, named Ryker, who I adopted in May 2020. Best quarantine decision ever! Previously, I have owned two Great Danes, so I have experience with large breeds. As a dog sitter, I aim to spend as much time with your dogs as possible, so that their time spent away from you is a pleasant one. If the dogs are up for it, I love taking them on walks and hikes, playing with their favorite toy together, and of course, snuggling and relaxing together. Since starting with Rover, I have met so many amazing pups of all ages and sizes. I also have experience with cats, small pets, birds, and reptiles! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently not working for the summer (one of the perks of being in public education!), which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am not providing in-home sitting at this time. When at a clients home, I am respectful of the property and aim to leave the home in the same (or better) condition as when I arrived.

“My dog Piper loved her stay with Cynthia! She was welcoming, communicative, sent me pictures, and overall I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter! When I am in town, I will definitely reach out to Cynthia again!”
“Krista was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I had a last minute trip out of town and I she accommodated me. Thanks Krista! She showed my lil man so much love and attention and sent lots of pictures. Definitely recommend her!!!”
“Ashley & Jerrell were exceptionally kind & thoughtful, going the extra mile to help us board our dog on short notice during an emergency. Great communication throughout shifting circumstances and they were also very patient with my elderly mother. The only downside was that our dog was crated from 6:30am to 3:30pm while they were at work, but not unexpected.”
“Amy and Patrick took wonderful care of our 7 month old pup. They have great communication, love for animals and are kind and wonderful people. Very highly recommended. Thanks for taking the best care of our puppy so we could have a great stress free vacation knowing she was well loved!! Thanks for the daily updates as well!!”
“Sarah was outstanding in every way! Kodi was in excellent hands and treated like family with her. We are so thankful to have met her. She’s an outstanding sitter and person to trust your fur baby with. We will absolutely reach out to her again. Wish I could give her 10 stars for how fantastic she was!”

“Alexis and her family are wonderful and took great care of our dog. It was the first time we left him with anyone and we were worried about how he would react. Alexis sent regular updates and photos. He did great and came home happy. Well definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Billie did Ana amazing job with our two seniors. We’re always nervous to travel without them because they have their needs and routines that they’re very particular about but you’d think they knew Billie forever with how they settled in. Billie kept in constant contact and sent pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our time away knowing they were safe and being loved. Would definitely recommend Billie for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“WONDERFUL! Communicates well, welcomed us with open arms. Lauren makes me feel safe knowing shes caring for my dog. She sends pictures and is flexible with visitation. Always my go to gal for when momma needs a break now lol.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!
“Alexis was GREAT when she boarded my dog! She made us feel really comfortable with leaving our pup there over the weekend! She was really accommodating and responsive too! I would definitely bring my dog back to stay with Alexis.”
About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
