“This was our first time boarding our dog and we couldn’t be happier. Michael is very professional and made the process way easier then I expected.

I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“We had such a great experience having Angeline and her family take care of our dog, Marley! We knew right away that he would be well cared for and would love staying in her home.

We would absolutely have Angeline watch Marley again! We really appreciated her being so nice!!!!”

About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.

“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“Lindsay and her family are amazing! They took great care of my dog while on vacation. Daily I received pictures and updates. Communication was outstanding. Will definitely book again!”
“Oh wow, booking a stay for our dog with Armida has officially set the bar incredibly high for what great dog care can and should look like! From before the booking even started, she wanted to know the interests and preferences of our pup, and planned around it all, including her own sleeping arrangements to ensure our pup was comfortable!! She pampered our pup so well, it felt that the dog was welcomed as a part of their family for the week! I cannot recommend Armida highly enough! One of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met, too. We will forever be using Armida for our dog care needs for as long as she is available!!”

I would absolutely recommend having her take care of your fur babies!”

“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”

“Jeannine & Rob were amazing! Friends of mine have been taking their dog to their daycare & have had nothing but great remarks - and they weren’t lying! My dog had such a fun day and made so many new doggy friends🥹 I also love getting updates/pictures/videos throughout the day, it gave me a sense of peace with Poppy being my first dog. They took such great care of her and I can’t thank them enough. Will be back for sure!😊”

About: I am pet CPR and first aid certified. My husband and I have a 5 year old pug. He’s super friendly and loves other dogs. No children in the home. My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. Our pug is dependent and has a special diet so we’re understanding and happy to accommodate your dog's needs. We do crate, but only when we’re away from the house, which is rare. Please message me with any questions! My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day so I can provide frequent potty breaks. I can also provide daily walks or playtime either indoors or in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard but rarely leave our dog out unattended regardless. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and a large loop ideal for walking as well as a nice walking path.
“10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful”
“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”
“I dropped my puppy off for a daycare for the first time! Tara was very nice and she sent me photos and progress reports regularly throughout that day! Will definitely be using her again ?”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was a little nervous at first, but she made him feel comfortable, and he ended up really enjoying his stay. Since he's an older pup, I was naturally a bit worried about leaving him, but Cheryl kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member. She's a 10 out of 10!”
“Dana was fantastic! She and her pups were great with our dog, making sure our Ziggy got plenty of playtime. Oh, and she was able take Ziggy on Thanksgiving Day, which was a huge plus. Will contact next time we're in town. Highly recommend! ”
“Booked doggy daycare for the day and as always Cassandra was great! My husband and I have peace of mind while we are away because we know our puppy is in good hands. Cassandra sends updates/pictures and stays in communication. Best part is that our puppy loves her and her family!”
“My puppy had a great experience at doggy daycare with Maria and Tony. The communication was great throughout the day and I felt confident Samson was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”
“Brittany has been such a blessing for me, giving me such peace of mind knowing my pup is well cared for and happy while I'm gone. I have a rescue lab puppy - full of energy with a bit of anxiety thrown in - and she is patient and kind with him, while making sure he does what he should (or shouldn't)! My pup gets excited as we pull up in the car, and can't wait to get out! Brittany sends updates and pictures throughout the day so I can see how he's doing, and I pick up a happy, tired puppy - I feel fortunate to have found Brittany!”
About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. I have always had my own pets as well so I understand all of the responsibilities that go into caring for an animal. I love dogs and have experience working with them both small and large, ranging in ages from puppy to elderly. I love helping them get their daily exercise and helping them learn new tricks using positive reinforcement. I love going outside with them and allowing them to either run or even play a good game of fetch. I am also currently a cat mom myself so I also am capable of caring for cats as well. I realize that cats are both very independent but at the same time require affection as well. Your pet will be taken care of and loved as if it were my own.
About: Hi everyone! Long story short, I absolutely love and adore animals...to say I'm an "animal lover" doesn't even cover it. I've owned dogs since I was 8 yrs old, but I've been around and taken care of them my whole life! I currently only have 1 fur-baby, Maddie (AKA Maddison, Matty, Mathew-thiason, Bear, Sweet Baby Bear, the bestest baby bear in the whole wide world). She's our 9 ½ yr. old yellow Labrador Retriever...she's our everything! So as you may have guessed, I'm good with big and small dogs. I'm also currently an "Auntie" to 4 pups (Reggie, Riggs, Luna, and Olive....our newest addition to the family). And let's not forget the other countless doggos and kitties that are in our extended family. I've helped MANY friends and family members with their fur-babies when they're busy, at work, or out of town. And that's what I'd like to do for you. Walks, pets, kisses, plays, talks feedings, cuddles and everything in-between, is what I'd like to help you with. I've also had to critically care for my own pets and others, so I know how to help with medications, if they have any injuries or special needs, if they've had surgeries or other procedures, etc. I'm also a nurse...so that's an added bonus! Your fur-baby will become like mine and your way goes....it's your pet, your home, your rules! Whatever you need me to do for your pet, I absolutely will, with a smile on my face and with the utmost respect. I'm an honest, reliable, organized, detail-oriented, and extremely loving and caring person. My goal is to be an extension of you to your fur-baby, when you just can't be there! I can't wait to help you! I currently only work part time as a nurse, so I have A BUNCH of extra time to help you and your pets! The only times I most likely CANNOT help you are Tuesday between 7pm-10pm and Sunday 10am-12pm ( but those days and times could still be subject to change). Can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby! Whatever you need me to do for your fur-baby, I absolutely will. It's your pet...your rules! I'm just here to help however I possibly can!
About: Growing up I always had a dog and cats. They bring so much joy into my life. I am currently taking time off from nursing as we had our first son in August. So I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have an English Cream Golden Retriever who is now 5 years old! I have experience training puppies, giving medications, walking dogs. Very flexible. Occasionally might have to have my 10 month old son with me for drop ins or walks. Would want to make sure cats/dogs are comfortable around kids. Thanks! They would get a lot of outside time! Large yard in the woods. Can keep them on a leash if needed as it is not fenced in.

About: Hi, I’m Halie, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a Black Lab named Jasmine (yes, like the princess from *Aladdin*!), and when she crossed the rainbow bridge, my mom adopted Maggie, a rescued German Shepherd mix. Maggie was spunky, a little wild, and always ready for snuggles. In 2013, I moved from Ohio to Houston, Texas, and saying goodbye to my childhood dog left a hole in my heart. A few months after settling in, I adopted my sweet Coco, a Black Mouth Cur mix. She is affectionate, full of life, and has taught me a lot about caring for dogs with separation anxiety. Shortly after adopting Coco, I began working at a pet resort, where she came to work with me every day and spent her time playing in doggy daycare with her friends while I managed the front desk. I worked there for two years and gained valuable experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Today, Coco and I live in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs recovering from TPLO surgery, administered insulin injections to diabetic dogs, and provided various oral and topical medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. As a stay-at-home mom with a daughter who will be going into second grade, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to meet your pet care needs. I would love the opportunity to get to know your furry family members and provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1 daughter who is in second grade. I'm available from around 9am until 3:00 when she gets off the bus. I am free Monday-Friday and occasional weekends and after 3pm if needed. I do not offer in home care but in a clients home I will follow any of the instructions they give me. Wether it is taking your babies on a walk to go potty or playing fetch with them in the yard. I am well versed in medication management and have dealt with 2 dogs who have had TPLO surgeries.
About: Hi there! My name is Alicia! I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve started caring for others. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I am currently working from home full time, allowing me to have open availability and time to cater to your fur families needs & special requests. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent circumstances, it's sadly not the right time for me. I am fully vaccinated however feel free to let me know if you prefer me to wear a mask while in your home. While at your home, I will respect it and your dogs as my own. I am extremely tidy and organized. I will be attentive and loving! I will play, cuddle , walk your dogs as often as you prefer. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! PS. All animals you see on beds/furniture have mom and dads approval :)

“This was our first time boarding our dog and we couldn’t be happier. Michael is very professional and made the process way easier then I expected. It’s very clear Michael is great with dogs and I would recommend him to anyone. His fenced in yard is setup perfectly for dogs and there is no question about who we will be using in the future. A+”
“Anthony and Leslie did a fantastic job taking care of our adult golden! She’s a bit nervous in new surroundings but they found a way to curb that anxiety! She truly seemed at ease and had bonded with them! Very nice people i am totally comfortable using again!!”
“Friendly and professional. Enough updates that I felt comforted but not pupsick. She was able to keep our needy lab entertained. We came home to a happy, tired dog. She will be our go to for future boarding needs.”
“Stacey was very promt in her responses and accommodating to my shifting schedule! Our GS had a wonderful time running around with her mastiffes and returned healthy and happy to us! We would definitely let our doggo stay with her again!”
“Lindsey and Bob are the best. My dog is very friendly but a lot to handle because he has high exercise needs. They do a great job not only taking care of him but also he has a blast there playing with their dogs and family. I highly recommend them!”
“My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I also appreciated Chelsey being available on short notice when unexpected travel came up. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”
“Christi was such a pleasure to work with and my dog was very well taken care of, and happy and healthy when we picked him up. He stayed active and Christi sent me lots of pictures of his adventures! Recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Michelle and Sami were great when they watched my girl, Kira. They treated her like family and sent pictures/updates during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Mary and family were great. Zoe absolutely loved staying with them as much as they loved having her. They welcomed Zoe in as one of their own. That makes leaving your fur babies a little bit easier. Thank you so much and we will reach out again.”
“We had Lauren take care of our dog, Reyna, and all went really well. She sent daily pictures of Reyna on walks, interacting with her dog, playing with toys and just chillin'. She also replied to any questions we had on a timely manner. Lauren relayed that Reyna got along with her dog, Charlie, and the other dog she was watching, Hannah, really well. Lauren seemed like a really kind, laid-back person, and so did her fiancée, and we would most definitely consider leaving Reyna with her again anytime we are out of town. I recommend Lauren to anyone that's looking for a kind and responsible dog-sitter.”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
