“Caresse was great and we will be using her services again in the future! She watched our 2 dogs and 4 chickens while also keeping our large garden alive in the middle of a heatwave! She left the house cleaner than she found it and we received constant pictures and messages while we were gone. We felt like our little brood was in good hands the whole time we were away 😊”


“Julianne was a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Communicated with us well throughout the whole trip and kept our home spotless! Spent lots of quality time with our pets and helped keep us at ease throughout our trip.”
“We love Jade, she takes great care of our boy. He is always a happy boy when she watches him, gets lots of walks and attention. Jade is great at keeping us updated on his status and takes good care of our home.”

“Samuel did a great job with our pets. He was very responsive whenever we reached out. Pets were well cared for and our house was in great shape when we returned. He is knowledgeable about pet sitting. I would recommend him in the future.”


“Lewis was outstanding! We needed pet care at the last minute to travel out of town for a family funeral. Our dog is older and on special medicines. Lewis came for a meet and greet on short notice and took great care of our dog giving him all of his meds. We felt confident that our dog was well cared for and we had at least daily updates with pictures. We will use Lewis again in the future!”


“Shyann was amazing! She stayed at our house and sent us lots of daily photos and updates of our fur babies. I felt super comfortable being away. I would recommend Shyaan to anyone and feel relieved to have found her for any future trips I take!”

“Brook was phenomenal! We left for a week and were comforted with Brook being at our home taking care of our dog and two cats. It’s the longest we’ve been away since adopting our dog just over a year ago but there wasn’t an ounce of worry because I knew she was in good hands! I will be recommending Brook to all of my friends in need of a sitter because she was truly remarkable!”

“Laura and Amanda were great watching my house and my pets. It was my first time using the service and I was nervous having someone I didn’t know watching my house and pets but they put me at ease and answered all my questions. My dog is dog aggressive and has some difficult quirks but they seemed to handle her with ease.”
“Erika is wonderful! We are repeat clients of hers. She is so kind and caring. She’s extremely communicative and sends pictures and updates regularly. I feel completely comfortable leaving my home and my pet/pets in her care. Thank you Erika!!”

About: Hi there! I'm Elisa, a dedicated veterinary student with over a decade of animal care experience. I hold a Bachelors degree in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences from Penn State University and I'm currently pursuing a dual Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and Masters in Public Health program at Colorado State University. I’ve spent years working with animals in all kinds of settings—from shelters to emergency vet hospitals. I’ve worn many hats in the animal care world, including volunteer, veterinary assistant, receptionist, and technician. I’m also pet CPR and first aid certified, and I’ve completed dog and cat handling training through Providence Animal Center in Media, PA. Whether your pet needs a calm and capable sitter, a midday break, or just some loving companionship, I bring a high level of care, reliability, and compassion to every visit. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a safe, positive experience for both animals and their people. Let me know how I can help your furry friend feel at home while when you’re away! As I pursue my studies to become a veterinarian, I’ve made time to be available for your pet’s needs. For the Summer 2026 season, I have open availability! If there are specific dates you are looking for, feel free to send a request to ensure they are not booked by another pet parent. For overnight petsitting, I can accomodate pets that require lots of care and attention. However, I do not believe I would be a good fit for pets that cannot be left alone for less than 4 hours a day. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medication, so they feel secure even when you're away. I take time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and needs to provide personalized, loving care. You can also trust that I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet.
“We had such a great experience with Susan while she watched Bodhi and Chloe! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and it was clear Bodhi and Chloe were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely book Susan again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”

“Isabella is prompt, reliable, communicates quickly and took great care of the pooches while we were away. They have found a new friend and can't wait for us to use Isabelle again.”


About: Growing up on a farm and participating in 4-H taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and genuine care when it comes to animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, learning their needs and routines while building strong, trusting bonds. In addition, I’ve house sat for families with dogs and cats, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their well-being and happiness. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or care for your cats! I’m available to pet sit on weekends! Along with weekdays after 3! I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely. Such as feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. This allows them to feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, from keeping spaces clean and hazard-free to closely monitoring behavior and health. I also understand how important trust is, so I communicate clearly with owners, respect their home, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. 🐾
“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs all my life! I used to have two Mastiffs and now I have two Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs. I always had responsibilities growing up to feed, care for, and at times train the dogs. I have also been asked by multiple friends for my dog sitting service. I work from 9-1 on weekdays. Anytime before and after that I would love to take care of furry ones. I am free anytime on weekends! I make sure dogs are fed when they need to and I make sure that they are taken out to the bathroom and walked enough! I can stay overnight or assist in check-ins as needed.
“Exceptional sitter and person. I would recommend her to any fur baby parent with complete confidence!! Teddy just loved her and he is particular. She was respectful of my home and devoted/attentive to my baby while I was away.”

About: I have cared for pups to elderly dogs. I mostly worked with large dogs, and I currently have a Black Mouth Cur and a Boxer mix. We also did have a Doberman. With taking some time off of work, I have weekdays during the day available. I am available most days Monday through Sunday during the days. I utilize treats and leases to make sure your dog is safe with me. I believe in positive reinforce and have been through many dog training classes that use this thinking.

Elizabeth did a fantastic job taking care of Rory for a week. She was very communicative and proactive, which I really appreciated. She provided regular photo and text updates, gave regular walks, watered my plants, and left the house in great shape. Rory was a happy camper! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her highly.
