“Monica is amazing! She has stayed at our house and watched our animals several times and she is very trustworthy and caring. She took care of our dog and cat over the Christmas holiday and gave updates multiple times a day. She is so good with animals, our dog gets so excited to see her! We could tell they were well taken care of when we got home. Thank you Monica!!!”

“Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have had pets my entire life, so being around animals is truly second nature to me. I also have my own fur babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m experienced with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care not just quick visits. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine. feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away.
“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life including dogs and cats! I am a dog owner and trained her myself. I love to volunteer at my local animal shelter. I have medical education and experience to care for your animals medical needs! I am a current PA school graduate living at home therefore have a very flexible schedule for whatever you need! I understand life happens and would love to help! I have a friendly dog and cat at home right now who love visitors. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for pups to run around.
About: Let me provide your dog with a home away from home :) — I treat every pup like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or just some snuggles, I try to match their personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from high to low energy. I’m big on routines, communication, and making sure pet parents never feel out of the loop. You’ll always get updates and pictures so you can see how your pup’s doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and in good hands. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I can do multiple walks a day, stick to your preferred schedule, and give your dog lots of attention and playtime. I live in a very walk-friendly neighborhood with a large dog park, which is perfect for getting in some fresh air and exercise! I only board potty-trained dogs to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone. I do have a medium-sized crate available if you prefer your dog to have their own space at night instead of free roaming. My main priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure they get the care, love, and attention they need in a calm and comfortable environment.
“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”

“Marcus is wonderful! We have used him many times and he is always a great communicator. He leaves the house tidy and we can tell that the pups are well loved/taken care of when we’re gone!”


“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Cassidy, an experienced animal care professional with 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, and animals of all personalities and needs. I worked as an Animal Shelter Attendant for several months and also worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 4 and a half years, where I gained experience handling medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing compassionate care in fast-paced environments. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Able to sit for your pets any weekdays/Saturday, 7 AM-8PM. Overnight is situational but can potentially be worked in! I offer walking/bathing/nail trimming/administering medications (both oral and injectable)/playtime/and of course feeding. I care for my clients’ pets with the same attention, patience, and compassion that I would give my own animals. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away.
“Shannon was amazing!! She took such great care of Rocket while we were away, it made the trip so much more enjoyable knowing he was in such great hands. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.
