“Met Rowan before we left and felt wonderful with entrusting our house & pets with her. She is very thorough and diligent about knowing what our pets needs were and checked in at the appointed times promptly. Our cats are normally very anti-social so we didn't expect to see them come out for her at all but to our surprise she was able to send us pictures of them (after the 1st day) and by her third trip there were even videos of them coming out for her! She's truly a cat whisperer and we couldn't have been happier. She'll definitely be hired again!”
“Rob did a great job with our dogs for the weekend! He went above and beyond and even offered to drop by an extra time just to check in if we were late getting home. We will definitely have him watch our dogs again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Let me know what your needs are! I always keep a watchful eye and make sure they are safe and kept out of trouble! I want to make sure they always have what they need and that your beloved family members are well cared for.
“Alyssa took exceptional care of our cat, Yue, and he loved her attention! She sent us notice when she arrived and also great pictures of Yue showing affection to her! He looked relaxed and happy which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing really good! Thank you!!! We hope we can book again with Alyssa and highly recommend her.”
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently own two of my own! I have cared for many pups and understand that each one is special and different in their own way. I can’t wait to care for your bestie :) My “day” job is 3 days a week, very flexible, and mostly night shift. I am able to work around your schedule and needs; often last minute as well. I will respect any and all boundaries you have set for your pup and home. I am comfortable with long walks or a simple backyard play if needed. I will always adhere to your pups schedule and needs :)
About: I have years of experience with loving pets of all different breeds and sizes! All of my life I have owned all sorts of pets (super experienced in loving doggos)! I have been a sitter for just homes, cats, dogs, even a stop in for lizards and bunnies! I am reliable and trustworthy, I enjoy sending the owners update pictures or videos of their pets relaxing or playing (optional). I know how heartbreaking it is to have to leave your pet alone and I can promise I will keep them busy, comfortable and loved while they are with me! I currently work from home in Lebanon, my time and availability can always be adjusted depending on the distance and time period. Weekends I am available for over nights or even just stop ins! I provide sitting at my residence for small pets that are okay with Cats, I currently live in an apartment so my services are more preferred at the customers residence. Open to discussion if needed. :)
“Cheyenne is amazing! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was well taken care of during the drop in visits. I always received updates and pictures through out my time away. My pet loved her too! I will definitely use her again. :)”

As well as 2 cats. I make sure everyone is comfortable for walks during the day as well as providing enrichment items to keep the animals engaged and entertained when gone for the day.
“Diane was amazing!! She was great with our dogs, was prompt, sent pics to keep us updated, and was very responsive!! We hired her for a 3 day trip, that after major car trouble, turned into a 5 day trip. She was so helpful in continuing the care for our dogs!! We appreciate her so much and would highly recommend her !!”
“Amber & Cory were awesome! They were great taking care of the dogs and were able to communicate the whole time we were gone. I felt like they really cared for our animals just like we do.”
“Larisa was so great watching our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs fell in love with her at the meet & greet and we were immediately at ease knowing she would be great with them while we were gone. We were provided updates and pictures throughout the stay and returned home to happy & healthy puppies :) We will absolutely book her again! Thank you!”
About: I have experience with positively training and managing reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I train my own two dogs in IGP competitively. I am an enthusiast when is comes to canine health physically and mentally. Friends with national level sport dogs trust me to watch their dogs for extended periods of time in their home and mine as well. I recently graduated college and have not started a full time career yet. I currently dedicate all my time to training and caring for dogs, and working part-time for the Fish and Boat commission. One weekend a month I drill with the Army National Guard. I leash walk my dogs daily and have a beautiful trail through Penn State Agricultural fields right behind my house. My own dogs are crated when I leave the house and at periods of time during the day. My two dogs are neutral to visiting dogs but will not interact with your pup due to my own training regiment and competitive goals I have set with them. I will be happy to provide a crate for your dog if you wish as well. My male and female are both intact so please inform me if you are planning to board a female in heat.
About: With growing up around animals my whole life, pet sitting is nothing new to me. I have been provided the opportunity to pet sit for families, friends, and neighbors my whole life. I provide my own transportation, that allows me the opportunity to feed, walk, and play with your dogs. 😊 I’m a full time pet sitter, so I devote my time working and playing with your fur babies. I am available to do stop bys, pick up and drop offs, and I can do in home sitting and overnight, since pet sitting is my full time job. I have a fenced in yard, that provides your fur babies the option to run around and play. We have around 2 acres of land, so plenty of room for them to play and potty. If I am at your house, I will keep your pets safe by having them on a leash, and watching them outside. I can crate your pets at nighttime, so it eliminates them getting out and escaping.

“Angela loves animals and has a heart to any furry creature. She is kind hearted, responsible, and a genuine person who is trustworthy with your fur babies.”
Taylor C.
“Taylor is an absolute angel. She loves dogs more than anything. She takes such amazing care of the dogs she owns, and always takes the same amount of care for those she doesn’t own. Every dog is a happy dog in her presence. She will look after your dog just as she does for her own. You wouldn’t have to worry about a thing while your babies are in her watchful care. She will give you every update before you can even ask for it. She’s truly the best. I have no doubt that she won’t disappoint in any capacity.”
Cassandra M.
“Cassandra is an outstanding pet caregiver. She had been watching Niko my dog for several years when we were out of town. Niko was blind when he passed at 9. Cassandra would take the dog out for fresh air. He would take long walks with her until he became blind. Cassandra would make sure he was always well cared for when I was not able to be there. Niko began wetting inside the house so she learned more about his daily pee time and would be there to make sure he was outside. I highly recommend Cassandra for any pet needs you have. The woman has an amazing love for animals and anyone should be thrilled to have her take care of their pet (family member).”

“Kaylee took great care of our boy Cole! Kept me updated and sent pics to keep us up to date with care. Thank you Kaylee!”
Madeline D.
“Madeline has been dependable and excellent care taker for our dog Hook. Hook never liked getting his nails trimmed, Maddie came over and trimmed his nails a few times and now he is no longer afraid and sits nice. She also makes sure his paws are wiped before coming into the house after his walks or runs. We even had her watch him over a long weekend and he was a happy puppy! She did great. Recommend her to all my family and friends!”
