“Jaideep and his family were wonderful with our Frenchie Guinness. They made us feel so at ease during the meet and greet, and we enjoyed our vacation immensely not having to worry if our pup was OK. It was wonderful receiving updates and pictures several times a day, keeping us informed on how G was doing during our absence. We will definitely use him again!”
“Chewie enjoyed his 8 day stay with Sowmya. This was our second time using her and will use again in the future. Pictures to keep in touch and flexible with pick up arrangements. Highly recommend!”
“Michaela accepted our request on short notice for a long holiday boarding of our large Bernedoodle. She was great at communication, sending us updates, and just overall friendliness throughout the stay. Highly recommend Michaela for any boarding needs!”
“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“The most incredible sitters, they always treat my dog like their own. Always provide thorough updates and make me feel completely at ease when I travel. They are they absolute best!”
“Miss Bobbi did a wonderful job with our Westie! We are so happy we found her! She sent messages, pictures and videos every day during our vacation and was very easy to communicate with. Our dog loved playing with Nala and running around in the yard! We will definitely use Bobbi again!”
“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
“**Exceptional Dog Sitting Service!** I can't say enough good things about Kathy! From the moment we met her, I could tell she truly love and understand dogs. She took such wonderful care of my furry friend, making sure every need was met—timely walks, and cuddles to make Arlo feel right at home. I received updates, adorable photos, and even a little summary of how his day was going. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch your dog, I highly recommend Kathy”
“Teresa took great care of my fur baby while I was away for 7 days. I missed my puppy so much but Teresa was very good about sending pictures and updates. Would recommend using Teresa, and I will use her again to watch Toula.”
“Rodger and his wife were amazing! Super relaxed and flexible, they created a loving and safe environment for my dog, who has a lot of anxieties. We got clear and consistent updates and it was evident that Franklin was happy, relaxed and at ease, which was just amazing to see. Absolutely loved their service!”
“Kona loved her stay with Pam and Mike! And we felt so good leaving her with them. Lots of photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Heather took great care of our almost 13 year old dog. She was thorough in asking questions about Coco's needs and seemed very conscientious about making Coco feel comfortable and safe. It was such a relief to go on vacation knowing our dog was well cared for and we loved getting the photo updates every day. Communication with Heather prior to and during our vacation was excellent. We've already booked with her again.”
“2nd time staying with Ryan. Ryan was able to take our booking short notice (less than 24 hrs) for a 2 day out of town trip. Quick response when booking and our pups are very happy at pickup! Will continue to use Ryan in the future for certain!”
“Anton was great. All was good. Professor is old and set in his ways, but he was obviously treated well and the photos & videos sent while he was there show him very happy. As far as I can see, there is no down side with leaving your Pet with Anton. We will definitely do it again.”
“Letisia was fabulous. We were so worried this was the first time we left our nervous pup with anyone. We felt comfortable right away and Letisia kept in contact while we were at a family wedding to put us at ease. She did a great job and was gracious about us asking her to keep our Brie longer than scheduled. We’re very grateful.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will 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!”

About: I have had a minimum of 2 cats in my house for the last 16 years. I love all of their different personalities-from sweet to spicy. While I was recently a manager at a dog daycare for 5 years before moving states, I always came home to my 2 cats, Stormi and Bolt. I would absolutely love to take care of your precious fur babies!!
About: I've always had dogs and cats in our home growing up, and I have more than 30 years of pet-care experience, from puppies and kittens to elder-pet care. I have 2 cats and 1 dog that live in our house. Zoey is my dog, Archie and Theo are 2 orange cats and are brothers. I have more than enough rooms if your pet needs their own space, I can even give them their own room if necessary. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs, to ensure that they have a safe and happy time.
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.
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: I was raised with cats in the home. I currently have an 8 year old loving/crazy ginger who just loves attention. He has gone through 3 UTI's within the last 5 years, which has caused me to pay attention to his diet, but still give him some healthy treats. I don't have anything that would 100% stick out from other cat lovers, but what I do know is that I will never disappoint. :)
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing attentive and loving care while their owners were away. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications (if required), walking, playing, and ensuring the dogs' overall well-being. I have a strong understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. I also make it a priority to follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs or special routines. Through my dog sitting experience, I have developed excellent communication skills with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday/Friday. My work hours are typically from 6AM until 3:30/4 PM. I can easily care for dogs after work, as well as before if an overnight is requested. I have 2 Golden retrievers myself, so I am used to playing fetch for hours as long as nice walks at the end of the day.
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!
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: Hello, I’m Destiny! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Wildlife Biology, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and the importance of providing compassionate, attentive care to every animal I meet. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves adventure, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a pet who simply enjoys a consistent routine and lots of affection, I take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As both an educator and animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I pride myself on creating a safe, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I enjoy spending time outdoors, making walks and adventures fun and engaging, while also respecting the routines and comfort levels that help pets feel at home. ❤️ I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away stress free while ensuring your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐶🐱 Availability: ✨ 🌅🍃🦋 I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins at anytime and am willing to stay overnight, as well as evenings. Weekends are fully open and flexible for walks, playtime, or overnight care! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and deeply cared for like they’re in their own little sanctuary. I approach each animal with patience and gentleness, allowing them to build trust at their own pace and always honoring their unique personality. I create a calm, nurturing space where they can relax, play, and be themselves, keeping their routines consistent so everything feels familiar and comforting. From cozy rest spots and mindful walks to soft words and loving attention.
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: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”
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.
About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.
“Serena is an excellent sitter, Ms. Freckles is a shy kitty but Serena managed to get her to come out of hiding while she was there. The food and water dishes were filled & litter scooped. I especiall6y like the photos Serena took of Ms. Freckles.”

About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

“Jaydeep was absolutely amazing with our dog! We left our pup with him for 8 days, and he went above and beyond to keep us updated every single day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was under his care. You can tell Jaydeep truly loves and understands dogs — he treated ours like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again!”
“Melissa is awesome and Diglett had a great time! Excellent communication and super responsive. Melissa sent me cute pictures during the day which I really appreciated. Definitely taking Diglett to Melissa again in the future.”
About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.
“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
“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. She was very good at communicating to us throughout the day by sending lots of photos and videos of our pup! 10/10 recommend and will 100% use again whenever I am in the area and need a dog sitter. Thank you again for everything, we appreciate you and your care greatly!! Happy 4th of July!”
“Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!”
“Zuri had a wonderful time with Kayla! She sent lots of pictures and followed our instructions for the day. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need someone to take care of our pup.”
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”
“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!”
“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”

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. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. 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.

About: I live in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. I worked in a Boarding and Grooming Facility for the last 2 years, so I have experience with all breeds and personalities, senior pets and puppies/kittens. I do not believe that there is an aggressive breed. I am efficient in administering medicines properly, including insulin and other injectible medicines. I currently have 7 dogs and 7 cats. (I have a diabetic cat with kidney failure, so I have experience with difficult medical conditions.) I've had dogs and cats for 8+ years. I live on a farm so I'm always on the go. I love playing fetch or tug of war, going for walks or anything else active, but I also enjoy lounging on the couch with my pets as well. My favorite breed is the Labrador Retriever, but I love all the other breeds as well!

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
“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!”
About: I was never allowed a dog as a kid, so I took any opportunity to walk and dog sit my neighbors and family’s dog. I lived with my cousin for 5 years who has a 60 pound St. Bernard mix. And we shared all doggie duties! I am currently unemployed, healing from an Achilles tendon surgery, and work on boats when I am working. I have a wide open schedule and an amazing partner who helps. I am super active even in recovery, and your dogs are part of my healing process! I am very respectful of everyone’s home, and follow all rules set. For example; if there’s no sitting on the furniture, there’s no sitting on the furniture. I take all diets extremely seriously, and I am always ready to play with toys, outside or just hang in the house depending on what your dog in in the mood for!

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: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 8. I have always been the go to friend who watches dogs or helps with training. I absolutely love animals and I love to show them new experiences. I think they deserve to have a good life and make new memories and I hope I can be that for your dog I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time to take care of your puppers. I love to be outside and be active and I would love to take your dog along for the ride I also love to go for truck drives, and my dog loves it as well I do not have a fence yard however, where I live I do have a nice little walking path that I love to go on. I also have a track and a little park near my house that I can also take your dog to
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets just as much as you do, I recommend Dani!! We have two high energy pups that like to get out and stretch their legs while we’re at work. Dani is amazing with taking them on walks and to the dog park! My pups get so excited for when she comes to let them out! She’s absolutely amazing with communication and letting you know what’s going on! She’s truly an amazing person to have watching your dogs, I can’t recommend her enough!”
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.

“**Exceptional Dog Sitting Service!** I can't say enough good things about Kathy! From the moment we met her, I could tell she truly love and understand dogs. She took such wonderful care of my furry friend, making sure every need was met—timely walks, and cuddles to make Arlo feel right at home. I received updates, adorable photos, and even a little summary of how his day was going. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch your dog, I highly recommend Kathy”
“Rodger and his wife were amazing! Super relaxed and flexible, they created a loving and safe environment for my dog, who has a lot of anxieties.

“Kona loved her stay with Pam and Mike! And we felt so good leaving her with them. Lots of photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Heather took great care of our almost 13 year old dog. She was thorough in asking questions about Coco's needs and seemed very conscientious about making Coco feel comfortable and safe. It was such a relief to go on vacation knowing our dog was well cared for and we loved getting the photo updates every day. Communication with Heather prior to and during our vacation was excellent. We've already booked with her again.”

“Letisia was fabulous. We were so worried this was the first time we left our nervous pup with anyone. We felt comfortable right away and Letisia kept in contact while we were at a family wedding to put us at ease. She did a great job and was gracious about us asking her to keep our Brie longer than scheduled. We’re very grateful.”
“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!”
“I could tell when I picked up my dogs that they got lots of attention while they were there. The home environment was a much better environment than a boarding kennel. They were a very loving family.”

“This was my first time leaving my 8yo pitbull lab mix Maui Wowie with a non-family member and it went off without a hitch! Sandra has a fantastic rural property that any dog will love. Maui LOVED hanging outside and the fun day-to-day activities Sandra and her family provided. Sandra treated my dog just like family.”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“Our overnight stay with Jack & Carrie went perfectly while we visited our son at Dickinson. They were very attentive to Mich and took wonderful care of him getting him settled in and keeping us updated during his stay and sending some photos. We’d love to return sometime when we are back in Carlisle -our son loved the chance to see him too.!”
