“Erica took such amazing care of our dog! He can be very scared and timid at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up so quickly to her! She sent us updates all throughout our vacation and we felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely use Erica for other trips and vacations!”
“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
“Jake has stayed with Jenni and Matt often. Great sitters for your bundles of love. Very flexible, communicative and personable. I've boarded at their home and used them for in-home services with ease. I think at the moment they only offer in-home dog sitting, which unfortunately doesn't fit my needs as well, or I'd be using them all the time. Definitely recommend them though.”
“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”
“Great communication from the start, sent pictures and updates every day and helped to take care of a couple household chores while staying in our home. Would definitely use her again!”
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.
“Nick did a great job at updating us throughout his stay, which helps greatly if you get anxious leaving your fur babies. Both of our pets were well taken care of and warmed up to him quickly.”
“Ann is absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative during her stay with Zoe, sent pictures and updates daily, and made us feel very assured that Zoe was in good hands. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and left our home”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child, and finally was able to get one in 2017. Since then, I have not stopped caring for or petting dogs, as they are a constant source of pure joy in my life. I am also trained in certain animal science. For the summer, I am completely free for pet care! I am usually awake by 6 and can walk as late as like 10 pm. In your home, your dog is where they are most comfortable. I plan on allowing them to guide whether or not they want to play, go out again (for fun! not just for a walk), sleep, or whatever it is they want to do. I promise to respect you, your house, and especially your pet!
About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.
“Kathleen did a wonderful job taking care of our animals (3 dogs) and did some extra cleanup for us. She sent us pics and took some extra time to not only watch after the guinea pigs, hamster and mouse, but even cleaned out their stinky cages. It was obvious that the dogs were comfortable with her. Thanks Kathleen. We appreciate all you did for us.”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and birds, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs, whether your pet has feathers, fur, or scales. I specialize in senior pet care, puppy & kitten care, and even exotic pets. I was honored with an award on my Vet Science Team, and I'm currently a psychology major with a biology minor at Millersville University. I combine empathy, reliability, and science-backed insight to give your pet personalized, compassionate care while you're away. Your pet becomes a part of my family. I'm currently a college student on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open for pet sitting, drop-ins, and extended stays. With plenty of time and flexibility, I can give your pet all the attention, playtime, and care they deserve, whenever you need it. Your home and your pet’s well-being are my top priorities. I treat every client’s space with the same care and respect I would my own, clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’m dependable, communicative, and take professionalism seriously, whether I'm doing a quick drop-in or an extended stay. You can count on me to follow instructions with an attention to detail, maintain a calm and safe environment, and provide regular updates so you feel confident and at ease while you're away.
“She was amazing!! So grateful for her watching my dogs and can tell she genuinely cares. This was my first time letting someone else watch them and I felt totally comfortable with Sage. I will definitely be using her in the future :)”
“This was my first time using Rover. I know some of the vet techs at one place I go were sitters in the past. A few vets mentioned Rover as a possible option before & some other people I know... I came home to find my fur kitties happy & in great condition after a 10-11 day vacation. The house was exactly how I left it. Lauren even went above & beyond for items not expected. I was happy my cats didn’t have to go to a small daycare cage & could be out & about relaxed at home. Plus I didn’t have to worry about them picking up any issues at daycare from other animals, haul them all in their carriers back & forth or stress them out. I have multiple kitties and one with allergies who needed individual feeding attention. My one super shy cat had a tooth concern the night before we left & Lauren was even able to check him, which we were surprised because he lets few close enough. When Lauren came to the house for the first time my usual friendly fur babies came right up to her & were happy with her presence. I received pictures while gone & updates on how everything was going. I would definitely request Lauren again in the future. Thanks so much.”
About: Pups within my care are ensured to be well cared for and happy waggers! Many people like to walk dogs as a way to pass time but for me caring for pets and making sure they get all the help and care that they need are essential to my day to day! I have several years experience in pet sitting, from day to day walks and exercise, to keeping company and helping with food and medical tasks! I am a college student who loves animals and am looking to give some pups some exceptional care! Caring for dogs is my passion and now that i have even more time to give i would like to lend a hand in pet sitting! I am available for Check-in, walking and feeding services! And although i have some time off as of current, even while in classes I am able to do on-going part time care routines! I am able to feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pup! If your pup has a set schedule I am able to work with it and ensure that your pup is safe and healthy and happy! I never like to leave a client dissatisfied with my care so each pup gets their own unique play and care schedule that changes up each day so that it doesn't feel repetitive for them! It can be stressful having to leave your pup with someone new but I always ensure that you will be updated at every moment to know how your fur-baby is doing!
“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I currently accepted a new job opportunity therefore my schedule is a little odd right now but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys

Emily H.
“During years of showing cocker spaniels, Emily was my right hand. There was nothing she could not handle. Her experiences range from medical, behavioral, nutritional, care/whelping of newborns, adult, geriatric, hospice and disabled pet care, grooming, training, handling, cleaning etc....Emily attended many obedience courses as well as professional show handling classes. There were times when Emily would professionally take one of the cockers into the show ring. Emily is a very compassionate person. She participates in community efforts to clean the environment and she helps rehabilitate wildlife. She participates in animal rescue when the need arises and to date has rescued several bunnies, a disabled elderly jrt and her current rescue is Copper a beagle/jack mix. Emily is not only qualified professionally but is qualified emotionally. She is true to her love and compassion of nature, wildlife and pets. I do highly recommend her.”
