About: I grew up surrounded by animals (doggies, cats, goats, turtles, birds, etc.) Since I was a little girl I always had a passion for caring for animals and treating them with love and respect. I’m currently working on getting my bachelors in social work online and almost home all the time; so I have plenty of time to care for your furry best friends. I have a fenced yard and enough space inside the house where the pets can play and have a good time away from home. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary. I have a 5 year old friendly cocker spaniel.

“The sweetest person I've met and my pup loves he so much couldn't ask for a better person to watch him when I wasn't able to. Very attentive when feeding and walking him at the times needed. Will definitely use her again when needed.”


“Amanda is very good with our fur babies and very trustworthy. It has been a pleasure having her watch our babies and we will definitely call on her again. She comes highly recommended..”


About: I've had pets since I was 5 and absolutely adore all types of dogs. I currently have two dogs: Wally, a 15-year-old Shih-Tzu Poodle mix, and Benny, a 4-year-old Goldendoodle. Their age difference has made me flexible and attentive to dogs of all ages. I make sure to walk them or let them run in an open field every day, weather permitting. I love spending time outside with dogs because, just like us, they need their exercise too. When Benny was a puppy, I played a big role in his training which included crate training, basic commands, and potty training. Wally, our senior dog, has slowed down over the past year, so I', very familiar with the extra care, patience, and gentleness that older dogs need. I am caring, dependable, and trustworthy and treat every dog as if its my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog would be safe, loved, and well-cared for in my hands. I currently do not have a part-time job so I have a lot of time on my hands. My schedule is very open at the moment and I would love to help anyone out who's looking for a reliable pet sitter! When caring for pets in your home, I want to ensure that they feel safe and cared for while you're away. I know important routines are because my dogs get unsettled when theirs is disrupted. I want to provide that same sense of normalcy for your pets when you're gone. I'll spend time with them during the day, take them for walks, play with them, amd can stay overnight if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will ensure they get the attention and care they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats over the past few years. I’m very good at following care instructions. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cerebral palsy so Im home the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to genuinely care for your pet. This schedule allows me to be attentive to all your pets needs. I ensure your pet feels safe and loved by providing a clean, secure environment. I follow all care instructions, maintain a pet-friendly space, and offer constant supervision.

“Great walker very patient and attentive”


About: I have a non-profit organization and I volunteer for the animal cause since 2015. I started to rescue animals and be in love with them in my childhood. Me and my dad used to bring dogs home every week! So working with animals is a thing that I absolutely LOVE to do! i’m currently working the entire day Monday to Friday. So I’m available to boarding on weekends, and at some evenings on weekdays, to have fun with your puppy! I will be taking care of your baby in your home. So I’ll make sure that his routine is followed, that he is feed and has water available, get his favorite toys and play a lot.

“Kim is amazing. She walked Major twice a day, half an hour each walk, regardless of rain or cold. So dedicated and saved me during my work trip when another sitter kept him isolated in a sunroom and made him so anxious. I will definitely use Kim again.”


About: Hi, I'm Robyn – a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 4 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits in the early mornings and evening during the week, and I have full day availability on Sundays and Mondays. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away

“So polite and handled all instructions perfectly. I feel confident my dog was enjoying her time while with you.”

About: Important Updates: Our work schedule has changed!!! If you are a repeat beloved client, and would like to discuss availability, please feel free to reach out via inbox. We are not sure yet if we will go back to being at home full-time like we used to, but feel free to ask us :). Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. My husband, David, and I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, we built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention we gave to every pet in our care. Our hearts recently shattered when we lost Bella, our beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught us more than we could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, we extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. We administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets us apart is the personal experience we gained from caring for Bella. We know how to tailor our care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. We always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure we are meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in our clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, we have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, our hearts have been heavy, but we know the presence of other pets will help heal our sadness. We would love the opportunity to share our affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were our own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, we’ll give them the same love and devotion we gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, we’ll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

Elise G.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am delighted to recommend Elise as a reliable and caring pet sitter. For the past three years, Elise has looked after our elderly cat, Chase, during our vacations, and she has consistently gone above and beyond in her care. Chase can be shy and particular, but Elise’s gentle and attentive nature quickly won him over. We always return to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a tidy home. Elise provides regular updates and photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. And we could enjoy our time away knowing our home was secure with her regular visits. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Elise to anyone looking for compassionate and dependable pet care. Sincerely, Christina H.”


Adam M.
“Adam is a fantastic pet sitter. I have two pit bulls. One has separation anxiety and freaks out when his humans leave and Adam is always so great and a calming presence to him. My other pit bull is 12 years old and with age is very cranky and bothered by new people, but in true fashion Adam was able to meet him on his level and they quickly became friends. I have had no problem giving Adam the alarm to my house and trusting him with my fur babies and security of my home. 10/10 would highly recommend.”
