“I was very pleased with Christy's care of my cat, Henry. She took very good care of him while I was away for over a week. She sent me many pictures and kept me updated by text on what was happening with him. She gets my highest recommendation. I will book with her again.”


“Krista was amazing with ginger! She took her time to make her feel comfortable because my dog is very timid and scared. She kept me updated the whole time and send pictures, she was punctual and responsive, will definitely hire her again. Thank you so much for allowing me to relax on my trip.”


“Katie stopped by with minimal notice and went above and beyond with communication. We loved getting updates and photos. We absolutely would recommend and will be booking again!”



“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we chose Kara! She was very helpful and communicative throughout the process and we felt comfortable leaving her with our cat Beans. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Alyssa is an amazing sitter ! She does an amazing job with my dog who is really hyper and loves playing! Would definitely recommend Alyssa if you need a sitter who goes the extra mile for your pet.”


“Kitty crew all loved her. My oldest cat is normally my judge of good babysitters because of her skittish nature. Natalie had her out of hiding and playing on the first visit. Mira doesn't even come out of hiding for my family (and she used to live with them).”


About: I have been caring for pups of all personalities and sizes since I was a child. My goal is to mimic your routines to decrease any stress or anxiety your pup may have while you are gone, providing lots of love and play time. I currently work full time at a daycare. I have time in the morning before 8 and time after six! On the weekend I have plenty of time to play and have fun with your precious pups! When it’s nice out I would take your dog outside for nice walks and play outside. Or if your dog is older or likes to be inside I do enjoy cuddle time.

About: I grew up with several breeds of dogs, young and old, most of them being chihuahuas, but I have plenty of experience with medium/large/extra large dogs. I have experience with cats under my belt as well. I can bathe, feed and walk pets. I am a professional dance instructor, so I'm physically fit and active, so I would be happy to take your dog jogging. I can clean litter boxes, replace training pads, and pick up/clean urine and droppings if the need arises. I do not have experience with rodents, birds, exotic animals or pets with special needs, however, but I am more than willing to look after such pets if provided with very specific written instructions of diet, restrictions, hygiene, medications, and routines most importantly. Animals such as these will serve to help me accumulate knowledge to use in the future if I were to care for similar animals. I walk my dog 5 times a day, and feed her twice a day; once during dinner breaks from work. I feed her 2-3 meals a day made up of meat, berries, and leafy greens. I walk very frequently, and take longer walks when the weather is nice. I usually walk somewhere around 2-4 miles. My dog is a chihuahua so she's used to shorter walks around a mile or so. I also take her to the dog park once a week.

About: Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of having many different pets. The joy of playing and nurturing dogs has always held a special place in my heart. I grew up with a Cane Corso and a Pitbull so I am very familiar with large strong dogs. It's become a well-known fact among my neighbors, friends, and family that I am the go-to person whenever their pets require care and attention. With my current schedule running from 8 to 5, I'm dedicated to providing my undivided attention to them both before and after work. They can expect early morning outings and consistent care throughout the evening and overnight. MESSAGE me for availability! If I am providing care at my house your furry friend will also have a potty break mid day. And depending on your location I will possibly have enough time to go to your house for a potty break as well. I'm diligent about ensuring a constant supply of water, especially considering the amount of playtime we share. I make it a point to maximize their outdoor time and even include leisurely walks to our routine.

“Madison was wonderful caring for my two kitties! She provided excellent care and was communicative with me during my time away. She is reliable and dependable. I highly recommend her for pet care! Winston and Fiona enjoyed their time with her and look forward to seeing her in the future :)”


“Kiah took wonderful care of our fur-babies. Our cats are high maintenance and extremely spoiled. She spent time getting to know them and earning their trust. We were able to relax because we knew they were in good hands. We’ll definitely use Kiah in the future and highly recommend her.”


“Christy was absolutely wonderful with my four cats! She was attentive, communicative, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely trust Christy to care for them again!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.

About: My family and I have been fostering dogs for the past 11 years. We’ve fostered a total of 13 dogs and became foster failures once:) I volunteer at Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and disabilities and I’m currently working on my undergrad degree for Animal Science! I currently only work part time a few hours a week so I have more than enough time for your playful pup(s). I’m an early riser and very active so I’m always happy to go on long walks, hikes, play fetch, etc. Because of having a part time job I have lots of time to come to your house during the day and hang out with your pup whether it’s, going for a walk, taking him/her out to go to the bathroom or just having playtime. I have many years of experience due to my family fostering dogs for the past decade, I have playful and loving 3 year old golden retriever male named Jersey who would love to keep your pup company as well. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I have nearby fenced in dog park I go to frequently.

About: Hi, I’m Abby! I grew up with dogs and there is no other animal that I connect with better than them. I previously owned Whisker to Tail Pet Services, providing everything from dog walks to wedding day handling and advanced dog training! I have variable availability to accommodate daytime and overnight visits, providing the same loving care no matter how long I am with your pets. I am great with following directions and attention to detail, so if your pet has any additional needs (such as medication), just tell me and I’ll make sure your companion has everything he or she needs 😁 I am deeply grateful for your consideration of me for your pet care needs, I know how difficult that decision is! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. My schedule can be somewhat busy, but I can be flexible as needed. The best way to confirm my availability is to reach out to me directly! I am very respectful of my clients homes and belongings. During our initial consultation, I ask specific questions regarding what supplies and areas of your home I may have access to. If something is not on that list, I don’t touch it! Home is a safe space and deserves to remain that way.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Emma and I have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I grew up around mostly cats and dogs, and have gained valuable experience handling, caring for, and interacting with them. I have a cat of my own currently and I’ll be sure to care for your pets as if they were my own kitty at home, and that means they’ll get the best care as possible as my cat is my best friend, so this means I am especially great with cats! I look forward to meeting with all you future pet owners! I currently have a wide open schedule. I live home alone and don’t have many things to worry about, so my cat takes up more of my time than anything else. So cats are indeed my specialty! At home I make sure my cat has a clean litter box, filled food and water bowls, and a clean environment overall to live in.

About: I have been taking care of animals for over half my life. I pet and housesit for various people at college and around my hometown. I work at a zoo every summer and I am very used to dealing with a variety of different animals and animal personalities. I am currently working part time, and my schedule changes often. I can always do housesitting and check-ins in the mornings and evenings if I work, and then anytime throughout the day if I'm off. We can work out a schedule once you reach out. I have several animals at home, including cats, lizards and frogs. I have lots of experience with all types of animals, and I am willing to adapt to circumstances.

“Yanna provided excellent care for my 3 dogs and cat during our vacation. I finally felt relaxed knowing that they were being cared for. Lots of photos sent during every drop-in l, and they all looked very happy. I would definitely rebook and would highly recommend Yanna for your pet care while away.”
