“Kathleen took care of Brody this week for the first time. He appears to have really enjoyed his stay and was definitely well cared for.

“Talia was great! One of my cats use a daily inhaler and I understand it can be a little scary if you’ve never done it before but not only did my cat take it from her without an issue, she even managed to snap a pic! They seemed to love her and I know they were well taken care of. Will book her in the future!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats most of my life, I love them. I have walked and pet sat for many dogs before. I helped out neighbors and family friends. I am free most days of the week. If I am busy during the day I have an appointment, but I’m usually not doing anything. I cannot work weekends as I am usually busy. I live in a small studio apartment in Doylestown, with my girlfriend and two cats. It is a tight space, but we are comfortable and definitely happy.
“Elisa was great. We were gone for 10 days and received updates and pictures of our cats every day. They both were very calm and happy when we returned and didn’t destroy anything. 😀 So I know they were well cared for. 👍 👍”
“Ian was polite, attentive, and courteous. Our normal sitter was unavailable, so we hired Ian to stop in and check on our cats while we were gone over Christmas. He was on time for our meet-and-greet and followed all our instructions. We'd definitely use him again if we need a sitter!”
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs, including our senior dog who needs a gentler approach. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”
“Adrianna was great my cat loved her. I most definitely ask her again. Kept me posted on my cat every day and sent me pictures which make me feel good about leaving him. Always on time. Very neat and the kitty litter was taken care of very good. I can't say enough about her she was excellent.”
About: I adore cats of all ages. I’d love to come spend time with your feline. I have extensive experience giving medications such as oral administration for Hyperthyroidism and Diabetes as well as subcutaneous administration for fluids.
“Val did a great job caring for our senior kitty! She visited him each morning, and didn’t just take care of his “food and box.” She played with him and had him engaging in toys and games he hasn’t enjoyed in a while. I will definitely contact Val first the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Joann was wonderful! My cat Eddie came right out to her and he is very shy. He even let Joanne hold him after giving him his meds. He takes oral medication for his heart. Joanne couldn’t have been better, and I will be using her in the future. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Joann! 💗🐈⬛”
About: My experience caring for cats began when I was 10 years old, taking care of my neighbors' pets while they were away. That first job not only taught me responsibility at a young age, but it also sparked my love for cats. As a lifelong animal lover, I've always felt a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Whether it's keeping the litter box clean, making sure they're fed according to their routine, refreshing their water, or spending quality time playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I believe every cat deserves personalized care and attention. Nothing makes me happier than knowing a pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
“Lily was great!! Very friendly and left us a note amongst many pictures so we could check in on our fur babies while away. Definitely recommend and would book with her again!”
About: I’ve been the sole care giver for my cat for 2 years and I’ve been surrounded by cats since I was 10. I’m capable of changing litter, feeding cats their dry and/or wet food, and entertaining them with some toys. I would love to take care of your cat!
About: Growing up in a cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. I’ve handled cats of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair whom I adopted from a rescue when she was 6 months old. She grew up with big German Shepherds and finds herself very comfortable around dogs. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be where the people are. She looks like a plump raccoon, and spends most of her time perched cozily on the back of the sofa or sunbathing on the windowsill. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good, but overall he’s very chill for such a young boy. He’s currently snoozing next to my elbow on the kitchen table while I type this. I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel Baughman

Our home perpetuates good habits and can discover opportunities for improvement in behavior. We are home and able to get dogs out early and often to accommodate any schedule your pets may have.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m patient with young dogs, attentive with older pets, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend quality time with pets instead of just stopping by quickly. I also have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly small dogs that can keep your pet company if they enjoy being around other dogs.

I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they stay active, happy, and well cared for.
“We booked a short day-sitting to give us a chance to meet Olive. She did a wonderful job with a slow introduction for my two apprehensive dogs. She has a very nice, clean house, and was very kind and caring towards our boys. I especially like the fact that she only sits for one family's dog(s) at a time. While my larger dog loves playing in group settings with other dogs, my 10 lb younger guy can get very scared. I look forward to booking her services again.”

When in your home, I would love to take your pups for walks, to different parks, anything that you already do so that not only is your pup comfortable but so are you!
About: How I can be your pets next favorite friend is my strong background in working with dogs, especially when it comes to basic training like sit, stay, lay down, etc. to even teaching some fun, playful tricks! I focus on making every visit engaging and positive to help reinforce good behavior while keeping your dog happy and active. While dogs are my specialty, I’m always happy to care for cats too with the same level of love, patience, and attention. Taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve got a dog of my own, so things like walks, training, and playtime are already part of my routine. I genuinely love being around animals, and I’m hoping to turn that passion into a full-time career one day. Pet sitting, or even just being around animals gives me a chance to do what I enjoy while gaining more experience with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, where there’s plenty of room to play and relax. I have both a front and back yard for outdoor time, and while they aren’t fenced, I always use heavy-duty tethers and stay close by to keep things safe. Inside, there’s lots of cozy space and available crate room if your pet is used to having their own spot. Your pet will also have the chance to hang out with my own small, friendly dog if they enjoy some company! I make sure every pet feels at home, gets lots of attention, and stays on their usual routine as much as possible. When caring for your pet at your home, I’ll always follow your instructions and any special routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to stick to their usual schedule and habits so they experience as little disruption as possible. Plus, I bring extra pet supplies with me whether it’s toys, bowls, or anything else needed to ensure your pet has everything they need while you’re away.
About: I've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.
“Ian is fantastic! Lovely, kind, responsive, and thoughtful. It such a relief knowing my Elsie is in good hands during the day and even in spontaneous emergencies. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Elisa went above and beyond. She is kind, courteous, responsive, responsible, caring, and so much more. We hope she is available to watch our dog next time the need arises. Thanks again Elisa!”
“Morgan is amazing! You can tell just how much she loves and cares about animals! She was very prompt in response time and did a great job with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time and provided lots of pictures! If you are looking for a reliable sitter Morgan is definitely a great candidate🐾”
About: I have been petsitting for over 10 years now, and have dealt with all different breeds. Im naturally a very energetic person so I love to take dogs on walks/runs and play out in the yard or house with them! I have experience with different dietary needs and administering different medications for both dogs and cats. I took care of my cat for 16 years until she passed and I have experience with small animals as well- I took care of 3 guinea pigs for 6 years until they passed as well. Im going into my Sophomore year at the University of Georgia and I leave mid August. Until then, I am home for the rest of the summer and my schedule is fully open for pet sitting! It’s my full time job and I’m available to do walks, drop ins, or house sitting! I grew up taking care of my cat Mittens for 16 years but she recently passed so I don’t currently have any pets at home. However, Im always busy pet sitting for other families, so it doesn’t feel like my house is ever empty. When caring for pets, I make sure to give them my undivided attention and use our time together effectively. Depending on the pet, I make sure to block out a good chunk of time for personal attention, whether that’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or giving lots of relaxing pets.
“Joann is an awesome dog walker. She is very reliable and does a great job caring for Koda. They go on long and nice walks together providing Koda with some exercise and positive mental stimulation while I am at work. Thank you Joann!!”
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. Caring for them is something I truly love. I have a B.S. in Animal Science and worked as a vet tech for many years. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, small animals, chickens, exotics, senior pets and large animals, especially pigs. I also specialize in animal reiki. I’m comfortable giving oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as caring for pets with special needs. Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I will take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible work schedule at the moment, so this allows me to provide multiple visits or walks for your beloved pet. I aim to make things convenient for you and your pets. I provide love and care to your pet in the comfort of their own home. I follow directions well and will always send photo or text updates to ease your worries.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for my own pets and my neighbors’ pets since I was a kid. I’m a certified veterinary technician and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve spent over two years giving dogs lots of love and personalized care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or medication. I am in college and I work, but I am always ready to work around it. I’m available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Thursday after 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays all day, and Sundays before 12 and after 5. I care for both cats and dogs with safety, patience, and respect for their individual needs. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and litter box or potty schedules. For dogs, I focus on leash handling, safe play, and proper supervision. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, clean litter boxes, and playing if they’d like. I keep pets in safe, clean spaces, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My very first job was caring for my neighbors' dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I was just 10 years old, and I'm so grateful they trusted me with their pets. That experience not only taught me responsibility but also sparked a lifelong passion for pet sitting. I've always been a dog lover and grew up with two dogs in my home at all times. Over the years, I've cared for breeds including Akitas, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, and Entlebucher Mountain Dogs, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. One of my proudest accomplishments has been training my own dogs, Kona and Remy, starting when they were just 10 weeks old. That experience strengthened our bond and taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide the love, exercise, structure, and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is flexible. I make my own hours so I can pet sit anytime of day and night. Your pets deserve the utmost amount of love and attention from their pet sitter even when you're not there. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. If there’s specific instructions, I will absolutely make sure they are followed exactly how they should be.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.
About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.
