“We are very satisfied with taking our dog here. Michaela is always flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Nelly is happy and obviously well cared for. We get just the right amount of pictures to see her staking out her spot and making friends.”
“Jaideep and his family took excellent care of our 6-month-old, Atlas, while we were on a family vacation. He kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and detailed check-ins. We’ll definitely be using his services again in the near future.”
“This was our first time having Crystal be caretaker for our two kitties. It was an outstanding first experience to say the least! Our kitties came home happy, clean (I mention this because the first thing our two kitties stop doing if they feel any kind of stress is letting the shine on their coats diminish. We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”
“Greta and Gretchen loved staying with Stacy over the Thanksgiving holiday. They loved her large back yard and comfortable home. They were treated like part of the family. On the first night of their stay, Stacy sent us pictures of "the girls" all snuggled down in their beds for the night which really put us at ease. We are so glad we found Stacy and will definitely use her again.”
“De’Andra was so sweet & kind when it came to keeping Banks! She sent lots of pictures & videos which I loved & made sure I was really comfortable with the arrangement before I left my pup for the weekend. I will definitely have her watch Banks again! ?”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”
“Steffany & her family were the most wonderful hosts for Kona! They took great care of her & treated her like another member of the family while she stayed over. I received updates every day & they were very flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend!!”
“Angel was very personable and made me feel comfy leaving my pup there while the family & I spent a day at Hershey Park. She has some fur babies as well, so Scooter was able to get some good play time in. I loved that she sent some pics during his stay as well. Scooter was ready to rest by the time we picked him up & thats always a good sign!”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
“The kitties’ stay couldn’t have gone better. Chloe and Cooper were in good hands with Anton and his family. I received updates every evening complete with photos and a video. My Cooper even left Anton pet his belly, which was amazing 🤩. We would highly recommend Anton to anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”
“Nicole was great with Lily and communicated well with us! Lily seemed to enjoy hanging out with Nicole’s dogs and seemed to have had a good time. I will definitely be checking back in with Nicole in the future when I need a place for Lily to stay.”
“Jill does such a good job with our Indy! He loves playing with her dogs and always comes home completely zonked from all the play. We can tell she really cares about Indy as much as her own pets, and their house feels very safe for him. I feel like I’m sending him on a vacation too.”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Dannah is amazing! My anxious little guy warmed to her immediately and had a fantastic stay. Dannah is extremely communicative and responsive - she is truly one of the best sitters I've worked with.”
“My dog had a better vacation than I did! I received photos and a video showing him having a great time and we definitely found his second home. I know he's looking forward to my next vacation!”

Cat caregivers near you - Hoffer
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“Katlyn was amazing and took great care of my cat while I was away. She sent so many pictures and added notes to every check-in. I will definitely book Katlyn the next time I need someone to check in on my cat.”
“Victoria was very polite and knowledgeable when interacting with us and the pups. All 3 of them seemed to enjoy her company and liked her from the start! Will be using again for the foreseeable future ?”
“Natalie was fantastic and a great caretaker of our cat. She did the basics of food, water & snacks but also spent time with Rosie holding her and petting her. I think it really helped Rosie that Natalie came twice a day to be with her. She sent us pictures regularly and we knew Rosie was doing well. We highly recommend Natalie and we’ll be contacting her again when we go away.”
“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have loved animals all my life-dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, bugs-you name it! I got my first pet at age 11 (my calico cat, Abbie) and I've been adding to my collection ever since! I currently have an alapaha blueblood bulldog named Hamilton, a corgi named Pippa, two orange cats named Milo and Stewart, a 6 year old goldfish named Freed, and 9 chickens (all named of course, but I'll spare you that). My first fur baby Elli, a dachshund recently passed away; in saying that I am letting you know that I'm an expert in senior care and giving animals medications as well. Her meds were a full time job. I walk my dog almost daily and love to exercise animals, so I'd love to walk your animals too! Just a part-time registered nurse over here looking to fill my spare time and love on some fur babies! I'm a per diem registered nurse who works evenings and nights so I have lots of time from morning to afternoon to care for your pet. I generally walk my bulldog daily so I'd love to tire out your fur baby too! I am available Monday to Thursday, preferably 0830-200 (with flexibility) to assist you with your pet needs! I have well trained, loved animals at home. In coming to your home, I hope to continue to love your pet like my own while complying to whatever rules you set for the animal and myself. I believe in teaching dogs to walk well on a leash without being too stringent. Safety is always priority as well as making your cat/dog feel at ease.
About: Hello! I have always loved animals, and strive to treat all animals as if they were my own. I have grown up around cats and dogs, and currently have a cat, brand new puppy, a guinea pig, gerbils, and fish of my own.

About: I currently have 4 cats! Have had cats around me my whole life! Can usually read their vibe when I meet them. I stick my hand out slowly to see if they head nod. I keep a nice clean house for 4 cats, my pitty and my 2 yellow head Amazon parrots!
“Kerrie is wonderful with my two yellow labs! The boys just love her! She has helped me out tremendously with her availability in a crunch. She takes care of the house and follows instructions closely. I would highly recommend Kerrie K.!”
About: Going up as a kid I have helped care for multiple animals including dogs that were being pet sitted in our home. I have also cared for my own animals, cats and horses, over the last 23 years. In this time I have worked at a horse boarding facility and have done horse sitting for neighbors while they were on vacation. Currently I have 2 dogs which I watch and walk on a regular basis for friends and this has prompted me to want to do this for others as well. I do have experience caring for wounds and giving oral/topical medication. I have also done insulin shots in the past but it has been a while. I currently work full-time Monday thru Thursday and would have available time Thursday evening thru Sunday evening to perform walks or other pet siting needs. I routinely inspect the home space yours or mine for hazards and cleanliness. I currently have a small fenced area where your dog can easily have free time. I also enjoy visiting dog parks and walking well maintained trails. If pet sitting for a cat litter boxes will be cleaned 2x daily or as requested by client.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over three years and truly love spending time with animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: Hi, my name is Brenda! I have had pets my entire life, and I currently own a Shichon, Golden Doodle and a Shitzu. I have started caring for others in addition to my own! I would love to care for your furry friend! I am very responsible and reliable pet sitter, and will take great care of your pet! I am currently working full-time. After June 5th I will be available during the summer for days and weekends until I go back to work at the school. At that time I will be available evenings and weekends. I will do drop in visit and dog walking as well as taking time to play with your pets. I will always communicate with the owner, whether that be sending them photos of their pets, or just by simply updating them on how things are going via text, or phone call!
About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats
About: A genuine love for animals, ensuring they receive not only basic care but also personalized attention and enrichment activities. Dedication to making sure pets feel loved and engaged in their owners' absence. Commitment to providing the highest level of care, treating every pet as if it were their own. Pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for pets, including deep-cleaning litter boxes to ensure a pristine and odor-free space. Meticulous attention to following specific care instructions and routines, recognizing that consistency is crucial for a pet's well-being. Reliability, responsibility, and prioritization of the safety and well-being of the pets entrusted to their care. Open and effective communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, including photos and notes, to keep them informed and at ease. Honesty and integrity, observing all relevant laws and regulations related to business operations and animal care.
About: IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). I’ve had considerable experience with cats and other pets — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting (so far I’ve done house sitting for friends). I’m a calm, patient person, and cats really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so your cat isn’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy cats the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a cat’s nervous, I’ll speak softly and let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my cats feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat!

I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”
“I was overjoyed to hear that Emily was still available to sit my pups given the state of our world with the COVID-19 Pandemic! While working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages, one of which covers both: pets at home surrounding you when working, a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, by Emily's willingness to watch my dogs for a doggie day care and play date with her dogs gave me the needed relief from them and the necessary exercise for them. It worked out perfectly! While following CDC's guideline of 6-feet apart, not entering her home, and neither of us ill, I feel the day was a great asset to my remaining sane through this challenging landscape we all find ourselves in. Thanks, again, Emily! My pups love visiting and I love visiting your menagerie, too!!”
“My Girl stays w/ Melissa regularly for doggy daycare: my dog is happy when I drop her off and pick her up, Melissa lets my dog shadow her throughout the day, and Melissa is good with communication.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful caring for our pup. She watched our boy for the day and I never had any doubt that he would not be well taken care of. Melissa is a great communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and a dog lover.”
“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!”
“Rosa and her daughters took very good care of our puppy, Rosie during our stay in the Harrisburg area when we took a day trip to Hershey Park.

About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything.

References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.

I’ll come to your home for drop-in visits and overnight stays; I don’t board people’s pets at my house. I’m also open to caring for other pets. I’m a calm, patient person, and animals really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so pets aren’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, potty breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy pets the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a dog barks, I’ll soothe them with a calm voice; if they pull on the leash, I’ll pause until they settle; if a pet’s shy, I’ll let them come to me. My schedule is flexible since I’m retired. I can work around your schedule, or adjust my own to fit what your pet needs. I do have a couple evening meetings each month, and I’m busy on Sunday mornings.
About: I work as a veterinary technician and am looking for a side job. Working with animals is my true passion and if you keep your pet with me, they are guaranteed to be in safe hands. I work full-time on weekdays. i’m usually available every weekend. You are more than welcome to message me to see my availability for certain days. I have lots of land for pets to roam around in, i will also make sure your pet is comfortable. i also have veterinary experience so if anything were to happen, your pet would be in good hands.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
“Destiny is a genuine and very caring person who LOVES animals. From the moment my dogs met her, they were all over her and she knew exactly how to speak to and handle them. We took them to a nearby dog park where she was very attentive to them, and made sure to be as inquisitive with me as possible to ensure she makes good decisions when handling the poochies. Thank you Destiny for being such a delight!”

“We are very satisfied with taking our dog here. Michaela is always flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Nelly is happy and obviously well cared for. We get just the right amount of pictures to see her staking out her spot and making friends.”
“This was our first time having Crystal be caretaker for our two kitties. It was an outstanding first experience to say the least! Our kitties came home happy, clean (I mention this because the first thing our two kitties stop doing if they feel any kind of stress is letting the shine on their coats diminish. We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”
“Greta and Gretchen loved staying with Stacy over the Thanksgiving holiday. They loved her large back yard and comfortable home. They were treated like part of the family. On the first night of their stay, Stacy sent us pictures of "the girls" all snuggled down in their beds for the night which really put us at ease. We are so glad we found Stacy and will definitely use her again.”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”
“Steffany & her family were the most wonderful hosts for Kona! They took great care of her & treated her like another member of the family while she stayed over. I received updates every day & they were very flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend!!”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”
“Nicole was great with Lily and communicated well with us! Lily seemed to enjoy hanging out with Nicole’s dogs and seemed to have had a good time. I will definitely be checking back in with Nicole in the future when I need a place for Lily to stay.”
“Jill does such a good job with our Indy! He loves playing with her dogs and always comes home completely zonked from all the play. We can tell she really cares about Indy as much as her own pets, and their house feels very safe for him. I feel like I’m sending him on a vacation too.”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Our dog Milo was treated like a member of the family. We were very happy boarding him with Heather. She was flexible with rimes and even was able to board him an extra due to us having travel issues. Will use her again.”
“Jamie was excellent! My dog teddy had such a blast and was very well cared for during the weekend that I was a way. She sent tons of photos showing my boy having a great time. Definitely recommend Jamie and I plan on using her in the future to watch my dog! A++”
“If i could give 10 stars i would! I had an excellent experience with Maria for my dog’s boarding! She showed incredible love and care for my dog Mambo, keeping me reassured the entire time. I received constant updates with pictures and videos, so I knew my baby was happy and well taken care of. It was clear that Maria genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Highly recommend!"”
“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”

“I had a great experience with Sara and Tovia! This is the first time that I booked them. They were very professional and put me at ease while I was away for 10 days during the holidays. My Chihuahua means so much to me and it’s important that I find someone to watch him who I feel good about so I don’t worry the entire time. I’m VERY happy and will definitely book them again! : )”
