Dog Sitters in Ephrata, PA

Tawnia stayed at our house for 5 days while we were away! She watched our dogs, bearded dragon, & goldfish. She kept me updated on my fur babies and took such great care of them. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. She is kind, caring and LOVES animals. She even left me a sweet note to let me know what occurred and what she did with the animals while we were gone. Honestly she allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry a bit about my animals because I knew they were getting lots of love! Thanks again Tawnia for an awesome experience and looking forward to seeing you again in July!!!

We love Tawnia!! Our dogs, especially our older one likes to stay at home. It's so nice to have her come into our home and be with our dogs!! She's amazing, and she even takes care of our chickens!! We wouldn't use anyone else but Sweet Nothings!! All of our animals love her!!

Highly recommend! Took great care of our 3 dogs a few times. Very professional and caring. Will definitely use again.

The best Dog Walking and Pet sitter around. Friendliness always with a smile. And great prices/rates.

Highly recommend! Very professional and lover of all animals :)

PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOGS AND KIDS SAFE!!! As a frequent visitor to the trail behind Buddy's Pet Resort, I must express my profound dismay and concern over the appalling behavior exhibited by one of their employees. On multiple occasions, I have witnessed this individual, clad in a grey sweatshirt, engage in reprehensible acts of violence towards the innocent dogs under their care. It is distressing to recount the disturbing scenes of this employee physically assaulting dogs simply for exhibiting natural behaviors such as barking. Instead of employing humane and compassionate methods of handling, they resorted to barbaric acts of aggression, causing undue harm and suffering to the defenseless animals. Equally alarming is the brazen display of hostility towards members of the public utilizing the nearby walking trail. This individual, with utter disregard for civility and decency, has taken it upon themselves to hurl insults and threats at passersby as if the public space were their personal domain. Such egregious misconduct not only constitutes a felony offense of animal abuse but also poses a grave threat to public safety. The wanton disregard for the well-being of both animals and humans warrants immediate intervention by law enforcement authorities. It is imperative that Buddy's Pet Resort takes swift and decisive action to address this alarming situation. The safety and welfare of both animals and the community must never be compromised. Accountability must be upheld, and measures implemented to ensure such despicable behavior is eradicated from their premises. Failure to do so would not only tarnish the reputation of the establishment but also jeopardize the safety and trust of its patrons.

Title: A Disturbing Revelation: The Dark Shadow Lurking Behind buddy's pet resort: Buddy's pet resort should be a haven for our furry companions, a place where they can frolic, play, and be cared for in our absence. However, recent events have cast a shadow over this ideal, revealing a disturbing reality lurking beneath the surface. The revelation that an employee at buddy's Pet Resort resorted to violence towards innocent dogs and threatening the kid who question their aggressive practices is not only deeply troubling but also raises serious questions about the integrity and ethics of the establishment. Dogs, known for their loyalty and affection, should never be subjected to such cruelty, especially within the confines of a supposed safe haven for animals. The incident in question, where a dog was beaten for barking at a kid on a green bike and the employee charged towards the kid who tried to stay out of harm's way, is not only an act of blatant animal abuse but also a violation of trust between the community and the establishment. As pet owners, we entrust our beloved companions into the care of these facilities with the expectation that they will be treated with compassion and respect. To learn that such abuse occurred without the consent or knowledge of the owners is deeply distressing. Moreover, the fact that this abuse occurred in response to a natural behavior of the dogs—barking at a perceived sound of someone walking along the trail and rocks up to reading road—highlights a concerning lack of understanding and empathy towards animals on the part of the employee involved. Instead of addressing the situation with patience and compassion, resorting to violence demonstrates a disturbing disregard for the well-being of the animals under their care. It's essential for this establishment or the law enforcement to take swift and decisive action in response to this egregious breach of trust. This includes not only terminating the employment of the individual responsible but also implementing comprehensive training programs for all staff members to ensure that incidents of animal abuse never occur again. Furthermore, this so called resort must be transparent with pet owners about what measures they are taking to prevent future instances of abuse and how they plan to rebuild trust within the community. This may involve implementing stricter protocols for monitoring employee conduct with the animals and the people who are utilizing the trail by the kennel fence, conducting regular audits of the facility, and providing avenues for pet owners to voice their concerns and feedback. In conclusion, the incident at buddy's pet resort serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and accountability within the pet care industry. As pet owners, it is our responsibility to advocate for the well-being of our furry companions and hold establishments like buddy's pet resort accountable for ensuring their safety and welfare. Anything less is a betrayal of the trust placed in them by both pets and their owners.

Today, I feel bad for any dogs here because the employee with the gray sweatshirt was committing a felony by beating the dogs in the kennel in the back for barking at a kid on a green bicycle and then he started walking after the kid until the kid yelled about the employee's actions that I saw amd then the employee turned around. If you want your dog to be beaten, take them here. Me and 3 other pedestrians watched in concern...

My mini goldendoodle enjoys going to Buddy’s each week. The staff has been friendly every time I dropped her off. They are always excited to see her! There is an app that you can use to watch you pup throughout the day. The place is clean and the price is affordable.

We love taking our dog Wally here. He is always so excited to go

Great staff .. My dog goes twice a week and loves it ... Highly recommend

Can't get people here to respond to calls or emails.

Rude

The place was dirty and smells really bad

Laura came to petsit our 4 dogs while we were away for a week in August 2024. We were SOOO pleased with her services! She sent us several pictures and updates every day which really put our minds at ease while we were away. 5 stars for MFPS hands down!!! We will definitely be using them again in the future!

We’ve now used Mortizen Family Pet Sitting twice and have had amazing experiences both times. After having a really terrible experience with a different pet sitter, we were extremely hesitant to trust someone with our three pups again. However, every single person that we’ve worked with or spoken to at MFPS has been exceptional to work with. They have clear communication and we really appreciated the follow up ensuring we were pleased with the service. We had a different sitter both times, but they both communicated thoroughly, sent pictures, and you could tell they loved up on our pups. We are thankful that we found them and now don’t have to stress that our boys won’t get amazing care while we are away. We will definitely continue to use them and highly recommend using their services!

Simply said, these folks are exceptional. Having used Moritzen Family Pet Sitting regularly over the last two years I can confidently say that I cannot imagine better service. They are caring, dependable, observant, respectful, proactive, great communicators, and pricing is reasonable. They have gone above and beyond what I could expect and have been graciously flexible when I have needed scheduling changes. I have never had to worry about a thing when Moritzen Family Pet Sitting service is in charge - they are the best ever.

10/10, 5 stars, fantastic!! My pups, Ava and Dixie love their daily visits from Laura at Moritzen Family Pet Sitting! Laura is super efficient and sends thorough text updates and the cutest pictures after each visit. She is even willing to take the extra care steps that our puppy needs. You can tell she cares and that’s so important to us. I highly recommend this awesome pet sitting company!!

Moritzen Family Pet sitting took care of my 5 month old puppy like she was a member of their family. I was initially nervous because my pup was so young, but Laura abated all my fears with her daily pictures and in depth notes daily after her visit. I knew Rori was in great hands and was an to enjoy my time away without worrying. They are flexible to last minute changes, very reasonable and true pet lovers.

I have trusted McKenzie to Heather and her team for five years. This group of dedicated folks have supported me for long term pet sitting and short notice occasions . They are reliable, responsive, clean and friendly. We all know our pets are members of the family. I trust Moritzen’s 1000%.

Wonderful experience with MFPS. My girls were well taken care of (along with flower and strawberry watering, mail and newspapers brought in). Eye drops given to one of my girls. Loved the twice a day updates. Communication prompt. When we got home and opened the door the girls facial expressions told us they were disappointed we were home. They were looking for their new best friend Tyler. I will definitely utilize their services again. Highly recommend. 💜

We have had Moritzen Family Pet Sitting watch our dog since February and they are fantastic! They are huge on communication, reliable, friendly, and very trustworthy pet sitters! They do overnight stays and much more. We are so appreciative of everything they do for us. Highly recommend!

Laura and Heather have been wonderful with my boy. Timing is perfect every day and he’s so happy (proof in all the pics I get of him smiling). I would highly recommend to anyone who a fur baby

I have been using Moritzen Family Pet Sitting now for more than 6 months, many times every week to care for my sweet cats. They have been everything I could ask for and more. Consistent dependable top notch service, personal attention, great communication and visit updates, with constant caring and concern in everything they do. Words can barely express how pleased I am to have found their service, simply said, they are the best.

Denny is the best pet sitter ever! She's so great with my dog Madison. Always sends pictures and gives updates when we're away. And Madison just loves her. I won't use anyone else! Thank you Denny!

I have used this service for years to take care of my dog when I am away. Denny is awesome and always gets me on her schedule. She takes great care of my dog. Sends me pictures everyday. I highly recommend this service.

I'm so thankful I found Caring Angels Pet services. Denny is extremely accommodating to my "on a whim" get aways, long vacations or emergency needs. She not only comes in and cares for my cats basic needs, she helps with medication twice daily for my older kitty and spends a good bit of time with them at each visit. I love getting all the pictures while I'm away too. Adeeva and Ozzy love "Aunt Denny". 🙂

Denny is the most caring and flexible pet sitter I’ve ever used for my dogs. She truly loves animals and they love her too. She helped out a couple times when I was stranded for longer than planned and she graciously continued to care for my pups. Her rates are more than reasonable and her heart is huge!!!

There is no one who loves animals more than Denny! She may be happier to see our cats than the cats are to see her. Denny provides great service caring for our cats (feeding, cleaning, playing with them) She is flexible with time scheduling and charges a reasonable price. I highly recommend Denny and Caring Angels Pet Service!

Denny is a true animal lover who has taken wonderful care of our dog, even when she was still a high maintenance puppy! Denny was always responsive, reliable, and it was clear our dog loved her. My wife and I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She's great!

I'm so happy I found Denny!!! She's my cat's best friend (other than me of course)! I can always depend on her to catsit when I'm away! A+++++

Denny is the best pet sitter that I have ever hired! She spent time playing with my cats twice per day, sent photos daily, and far exceeded my expectations! When I returned from a 10 day vacation, it was obvious my cats enjoyed her visits and they were much calmer than they have been after previous vacations. Highly recommend!

Denny is literally the only person outside of my family that I will leave my girls with - especially, overnight. I am THAT mama. My babies are very attached and it has limited our ability to travel even for short trips. My babies loved Denny right away, from the moment they met her. She is the dog whisperer. I would feel 100% at ease any time Denny is the one caring for my babies. She sends super cute photos too to help ease your mind. The only dog sitter I would ever use outside the two, yes only two, relatives I trust.

Denny takes wonderful care of my cats and dog. She loves them and snuggles with them like they are her own. She follows instructions I leave. I know my animals are safe and happy with Denny. PS. She always shares pictures with me so I don’t feel so far away:)❤️

I had 'THE BEST' experience with 'The Berks Pet Care' team, and will definitely use them again. I was a little skeptical at first when trying to decide if I should hire a pet care agency, but; my fears were short lived. The team members were all very warm and welcoming! Their communication skills were exceptional. I received daily photo's of the my kitties, with updates on their food and treats. All team members were polite and professional. Everything was kept neat and clean, just as I left it. Yes, I would highly recommend this team!

I have used Berks Pet Care to take care of my cat during multiple vacations. Every day they share pictures of my cat and report on how she is doing. They take the time to sit snd play with her for a while and the pictures show me how much she enjoys their visits. She especially loves her visits from Brandon.

I cannot express how much I value everyone at Berks Pet Care. We started using them last summer instead of boarding. Not only can my dog stay comfortable at home, but I didn't have to get him all of the dangerous vaccines that are needed for boarding. I have had ZERO concerns while my dog has been in their care. The daily updates, photos, checklist and messages they send on their app are amazing. Scheduling and communication are effortless. I would recommend them to anyone looking for in home care for your animals while you are away.

Jill and her team have been caring for our pugs for years, with professionalism, compassion and a genuine love of animals. We feel confident being away for an evening or for a few days knowing our girls are being taken care of in their own home. Communication is excellent, starting with detailed profiles of each pet's needs and preferences. We especially love the visit updates with pictures, where we can see in real time how happy our girls are during the visits. We appreciate you and your whole team!

The team at berks pet care has been taking care of my dog now for about 2 years and they are amazing! I couldn’t recommend them more! They are very caring and thoughtful. The scheduling process is so easy as well. If you’re looking for someone to let your doggie out while you’re at work or away for the night contact them for sure! You will be very happy with Jill and her team!

Jill and her team are simply the best! We have been using them for over four years and every experience has met or exceeded our expectations. They take excellent care of our pets, from dogs to guinea pigs, and each sitter treats our pets and home with the utmost respect. I continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

With Berks Pet Care I know my kitties are being fed & cared for with a reliable service. I get notes & photos everyday so I can check-in on my babies. The guilt of leaving them is a little less worrisome knowing there are caring loving pet lovers coming into my home, I can trust, to take care of my kitties. Thank you Berks Pet Care! Debbie Moore

As someone who has always been cautious about leaving my lively cats with anyone else, finding a dependable and caring pet sitting service was a huge relief. My journey with Berks Pet Care started unexpectedly during a local 5k event where they were distributing frisbees meant for dogs. I kept the frisbee I decided to explore their services. Right from our initial contact, Jill at Berks Pet Care was incredibly accommodating and understanding. She even managed to squeeze in a day on short notice, which immediately impressed me. When Brandon, their designated sitter, arrived, it was clear he had a genuine love for cats. He diligently followed the schedule we had discussed, ensuring my cats were not only fed and their litter box cleaned, but also showered with affection and treats. What stood out the most was the update I received, complete with photos and a detailed report on how my cats were doing. This level of care not only put my mind at ease but also strengthened my trust in Berks Pet Care. Knowing that my beloved pets were in such capable hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without any worries. I wholeheartedly recommend Berks Pet Care for their professionalism, sincere passion for animals, and exceptional service. If you're like me and hesitant to entrust your pets to just anyone, give Berks Pet Care a try—you'll be glad you did.

I have had a great experience with Berks Pet Care. Everyone who has walked my senior terrier mix Lucy has been great. I look forward to my Lucy pictures after each visit. I know Lucy approves!

Berks Pet Care is a fabulous pet care company. Their new web site is so easy to use. I love that you can request visits, leave messages, get pictures of your pets, and your requests are approved in a timely manor. Brian usually comes to my house and my dogs absolutely love him. He always sends me a picture and a kind message. You couldn’t ask for better service.

I connected with Woof Roof several years ago. Cooper and Summer are rescued dogs who have never been crated since in my care. I needed a place that would “feel like home”. I found that with Dolores. Even the fanciest kennel doesn’t provide 24/7 human contact, including letting the dogs sleep with them. I’ve only found that at Woof Roof. Dolores always provides pictures and updates so I always feel connected to my fur babies.

Delores has been taking care of our 16 month old goldendoodle since he was only a 3 months old. Imagine needing to leave your new pup only a week or so after he comes into your life. She was extremely comforting and made us feel very confident that Remy would not only be well taken care of (dare I say doted over as a new pup), but he'd have fun and stay on track with his training routine. Remy is always excited as soon as we pull in the driveway at Woof Roof's home. They only take in well-behaving dogs, so we know Remy will have a good experience socializing. We love getting video updates and photos to keep us connected when we are away. You can tell how much they love dogs, in how they respect the dogs and support the owners. I highly recommend!

We always feel good about leaving Jack with Delores & Mark! We know he's well cared for and loved! It's really nice to get pics of him enjoying time with other dogs and being content during his stay. I am so glad we do not have to put him in a kennel -- he's much more comfortable and secure in a warm home setting.

I always feel my dog Is in the best of hands when I leave her with this delightful , caring couple. Bella has been coming to their home for the past 3 plus years and they take wonderful care of her. I never have to worry. And honestly makes going away, A delight. They love dogs and Bella loves going there. I will always ask them first for their availability, taking care of Bella, prior to my planning of my trips.

Delores and Mark have taken care of my lovely Lucy a couple of times. When we pull into their driveway, Lucy runs for the door, eager to see them. It's refreshing to have people I can rely on where I know my dog will be happy too!

Delores loves dogs and dogs love her...my Standard Poodle is a momma's boy but at drop off, he just runs to the door and says "see you in a couple of days - Have fun Mom!"

Please do not use this pet sitting company. Delorus, the owner, walked my 2dogs for about 6 months. Delorus was going through a rough patch financially and I offered to pay her for her walking services ahead of time, which was around $400. Well, all the sudden she started complaining about my lab being awful on his walk to the point where she said he hurt her arm. I got suspicious. I then ended her services. Delorus still owed me some of the money that I had pre paid her which was around $130. I was constantly calling with no avail. Then, one day I went to my car and there was an envelope it was from Delorus. She had written a check for a 1/4 of what she owed me stating that I had my amount incorrect which was totally not true. Needless to say she stole from me lesson learned! It’s a shame in today’s society we try and help people and then get stabbed in the back....

My Phantom LOVES spending time with Delores and Mark! They give him so much attention and love.

Great place to take your babies...your pets!
