Pet Sitters in Pitcairn, PA

Heather

Heather was a pleasure to have in my home to care for my two dogs. She was interested in the fine points of their care, food, medicine, sleeping etc, with complete acceptance of their routine. Heather communicated with me daily about her day and her day with the pups, along with adorable photos so I knew what was going on at home. Before leaving, I went over a few household items, such as trash out days, yard clean up after the pups, etc. there was not an issue with following these directions. I travel alot for ski clinics, and there have been prior issues. But not at all with Heather. She was sweet and kind to me and the pups, let me know if there were food issues with the pups, if we were running low, or if one of my pups did not finish his food with medication. Also, Healther took immaculate care of my home. Sheets and towels were washed, kitchen and bathroom were cleaned. I appreciated her level of care, especially arriving home after a long travel day. I was able to come home to a perfect house, along with a thank you note from Heather. Also, Heather left me a de-brief text. Wonderful housesitter!!! I welcome Heather back next ski season....

Courtney & Michael

Courtney and Michael were just perfect! They were friendly and easy to chat with and we felt immediately comfortable leaving our house and pets in their hands. They provided daily updates and left no trace - I'm pretty sure our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! I'm super happy they are local as I will definitely be calling on them again.

Jan

Would highly recommend Jan to anyone. It’s clear that she truly loves pets and is very responsible. We felt very comfortable with Jan taking care of things while we were away. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup. She watered our plants during the heatwave and the garden was in great shape too!

Lucy & Jordon

Lucy and Jordon were great house sitters. They cared for my cat Rigby for 16 nights. He is an outdoor cat so I am always worried when I leave him. We only had one bear visitor who cleaned out the apple tree. They did a great job meeting Rigby's needs and keeping him safe. I am grateful that Lucy and Jordon were the house sitters and I would recommend them to others and use them again

Erinn & Dave

Erinn and Dave were exemplary sitters. They left our house even cleaner than they found it, our cats were in great moods when we came home, and their communication was timely and reliable. I would absolutely trust our pets and house with them again any time.

Diana

Diana was very gentle but efficient with her duties and caregiving both. She played and loved on the girls so much, they're expecting us to follow suit! And our little spooky girl allowed her to spend time in the same room the first night - has never happened! That tells m3 Diana is an awesome Cat Mama your felines must meet!

Morgan

Morgan was amazing! She was reliable, flexible and dependable. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pets and home. Thanks gain Morgan!!

KIRSTEN

Jasper was so happy to have Kirsten as his sitter. He warmed up to her right away. Kirsten kept in touch with us every day and sent photos. We live near one of the best small towns in Pennsylvania and Kirsten tried some of our recommendations for meals. I can't wait to tell my friends at ShuBrew how much she enjoyed their Sunday Jazz Brunch. Kirsten took excellent care of Jasper. We would love to have her come back.

Rebecca

Rebecca and I had great communication from the onset. She is very respectful and great with animals. I would ask to house sit again in a heart beat! Thank you!

Allison

Allison was communicative, dependable, and easy to work with. She took great care of my house and pets. I would welcome her back anytime.

Jennifer

Jennie provided such wonderful care to my beloved kitty, Dixie. From the very beginning of our communications, I felt at ease with her communications and questions to clarify what she might encounter is staying at my home and in caring for Dixie. It was great to return home after a long trip to find my home in great shape and my pet happy and healthy. The whole process from beginning to end gave me confidence to recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving companion to your pet.

Claire was an excellent pet sitter. Kota and our home were well cared for. She was a good communicator and very reliable. I would welcome Claire for a future sit.

Katie

I had a great time at Katie’s! Her home is lovely, and she was easy to communicate with and left plenty of clear instructions. Franklin and Dolly are super sweet and easy to look after. Just be prepared to bribe them with treats when it’s time to go home from their walks!

Kerry

Kerry‘s pets are very sweet, especially Juno the pup. She will love to snuggle with you and get all the belly rubs. 
Please be aware that if you are not familiar with ducks/chickens, this may be a challenging sit for you. There are a lot of ducks (over 30) and multiple coops. We have our own mini farm but could see how this might be difficult for others.

Beth

We had a lot of fun sitting for Beth. Romi and Teddy were both really wonderful! Romi is like a big polar bear that you can hug and love on. A gentle giant if you will. He is a sweetheart. We enjoyed our daily walks!  Teddy is also just the sweetest. Sleeping with us in our room every night and then hanging out infront of the fire or in the sun during the day. His shots were super easy to administer (even our 10yr old daughter did it!). The rabbits were also easy to take care of morning and night. There were even two babies while we were there ♡
Beth was really wonderful having everything well organized for our stay. We arrived a day early and even stayed a day after Beth got home.  We would love to sit again for Beth or just pop by to visit if we are in the neighborhood!!! Thanks for everything!!
