I can´t say enough great things about Benjamin. He was incredibly patient with Cleo, my sometimes timid cat, who responded beautifully. Through play and, of course, feeding, and Benjamin´s gentle ways and willingness to talk to Cleo (who is very vocal), they bonded so well that I returned to a cat who was relaxed, happy to see me and has not acted out at all since being back. She immediately jumped into our standard routines as if I had never left. Throughout the stay, Benjamin was terrific at communicating regularly and sending the best pictures. He tells me that Cleo now has a following, as a result. I´d also asked Benjamin to care for my plants. OMG!! I have never had so many flowers blooming at the same time. He swears all he did was water them regularly but he must have a special touch. It was incredible for me to come home to such a happy, bountiful garden. Bottom line, I would be delighted to have Benjamin back again, and I´m sure Cleo would, too!!
Vince and Sam have already sat for us and again they were brilliant with caring for our pets and home.. We returned to a spotless house, laundered house We felt again that Vince and Sam took such good care of our animals and property, with the peace of mind we were able to enjoy our time away. happy travels to you both and hope to see you again.

Update: after posting the review, I did receive an email from the company. I’m a former client who used to love this company but I’m not sure what happened between the last time we utilized their services and now. We had them stay with our beloved dog a few times as well as having them visit a few times a week for drop ins. Our dog was diagnosed with cancer so we decided we no longer needed services (he has since passed). When we adopted our current dog, I reached out three times to ask if they still serviced our area and did not receive a response.
Highly recommend! Going Mutts has always shown the best care to my dog when I need her walked. They are in constant communication regarding walks and will always give you an update and a cute picture afterwards!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Going Mutts is the only team I trust to come into my home and check on my pup. Skye loves her walks and even overnights with the staff. Not to mention Going Mutts has ALWAYS been available for me when needed.
I’ve had excellent experiences with Going Mutts for both walks and pet sitting. I’m so glad we found them!
Helping animals find home, young and older that are in need of a loving forever home
Imane is absolutely amazing and such a joy to be around! My dogs might like her even more than I do! She is very professional and on time. There was no waiting around which was very important to me. I plan on continuing to use her services and recommend this company to all my friends with dogs!
Imane is one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. Not only is she great with people, but she is great with pets! She is high quality in every sense of the word. She’s professional, personal, shows up on time and my dog loves loves loves her! Jogs with Dogs is a thumbs up for me! 👍 …
So glad to have Jogs with Dogs as my dog walker/runner. Philip has become my dogs' best friend. He gives the dogs a great workout and lets me know how they did on their outings. Philip is a pleasure to work with -- he's helped me get the pets to the vet. I wholeheartedly recommend him!
I highly recommend choosing “Jogs with Dogs” for your fur baby. Imane is great with mine. She is very energetic and caring . I will definitely continue to work with her and their staff😊 …
Phil from Jogs with Dogs Pet Sitting was great to work with from scheduling the service to taking our dog out twice while we attended an event. I would use them again if needed. Thank you for taking care of our pup
If I trust them with my babies, you KNOW it’s 5 stars! Very professional, kind, and clean.
This company or dog trainers and pet sitters is great. I'd put my name on it.
They are amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of dropping my dog in her care multiple times and she’s great with him. My dog is very anxious and usually have a difficult time with sitters, but he loves her. Thank you so much Imane for taking great care of my baby.
I have two “shorkies” with high maintenance that required extra time and energy for them to be satisfied fully. Due to my busy work schedule; I struggled with finding the time to burn their energy and of course potty training them Was a huge problem. I Requested a try-out service from jogs with dogs & Luckily; I was assigned to the most sweetest, patient, reliable and well trained Personel. Her name is “Imane” and I will not see myself changing to another company. My dogs are now happier, potty trained and way relaxed when I come home from work. I highly recommend this company and it’s staff!!! They are trustworthy, dedicated and full of love. Their dedication is for training, caring and giving all their love to our pets.
Best in town! You definitely won't be disappointed!
Kat was amazing with Noah during his 3-day boarding. I was immediately comforted when talking to her the first time, hearing about her experience and ambition in transitioning to animal care full-time. Her place was clean, spacious, with a quaint outdoor patio. Noah has separation anxiety so I was very nervous and picky about where he would stay. He was wagging his tail and happy when we picked him up. A 5-star experience! Thanks Kat!
Kat took care of my dog as part of her doggie daycare service. She kindly both picked him up and brought him back to my home. While under her care they took several walks, and she shared pictures via a dog sitting app, which was awesome. When my pup returned, he was was happy and clearly had a great time. I definitely recommend Barks & Parks Pet Services based on my experience.
Kat was awesome! Our dog Harper was well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy field trips and the best care! We even got updates with photos!! You will not be disappointed!! I highly recommend Kat!
Our dogs love Kat and her boyfriend. One of our dogs gets excited anytime she gets in the car now, thinking she’s headed to daycare. Kat has been great staying in touch and keeping us updated throughout the day. We feel very fortunate that we found her. I highly recommend her for whatever dog care services you may need, your pup will be in good hands.
I have dealt with Kat for a few months now. She is so loving with my dogs and they love her. She’s very professional and I love the way she sends pictures after taking my dogs for a walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for any of her services. She also boarded my dogs for 2 days which also was great.
5 STARS!!! VERY Happy with this service! My dog Deanna is 10.5 yrs old and recently started having seizures (in March of 2022). We went on vacation in May and booked her with a local kennel (NOT this one). I couldn't confirm that they were or were not giving her her seizure meds, as when we returned & picked her up she had a seizure that night and several more a day afterward. Needless to say when it came time to go to Lancaster PA for a vacation in July which is 2.5 hrs from home, I was VERY worried on where I would leave her and what I would do if something should happen. THEN I found Barks & Parks Pet Services!! We drove out, dropped her off with Kat, and then went to our hotel which was 10 minutes away! Talk about convenience! Deanna had a WONDERFUL TIME there!!! She got along with the other dogs (which is not the norm!). When I first dropper her off the 1st day she seemed apprehensive which I expected. I did NOT expect to hear how well she was getting along with her new friends and how after a few days was fitting right in to her old routine! I wish I could leave her there ANY time we go away! This is a WONDERFUL alternative to a regular kennel. It is a regular house, where the dogs are in a more home-like environment as opposed to in a kennel. I highly recommend barks & parks!!
Kat’s service through Barks & Parks was exceptional!! Our little dog was walked and cared for so well, we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. We received twice daily updates on how she was doing along with the cutest pictures. We were incredibly pleased with Barks and Parks and would definitely use this home-like dog boarding service again!!!.
Kat is so organized and her love of animals is apparent. We loved getting updates on our dog through the Walkies app, and Kat kept us in the loop throughout the boarding stay. Our pup was exhausted by the time she got home, so we knew she’d gotten plenty of attention during her stay!
She took amazing care of my dog bella. I love receiving all of the photos and videos. Bella is very energetic and difficult at times and she took care of her even better then if Bella was her own. Bella had 2 pup cups from Starbucks and had lots of playtime.
Kat is great with my two dogs. I feel very comfortable with her coming into my home, while we’re away, to walk them. She’s very communicative on everything that’s going on while she’s with the dogs, so it makes me feel so much better knowing they’re in good hands. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone.
I highly recommend Jessica, Matt, and their team for pet sitting and care. They are knowledgeable and can handle administering the insulin shots one of our cats requires. They were very thorough at the first meeting making it very easy to trust them with the house and our kitties!
An amazing business to help with any of your pet needs while you are away. One night or 3 weeks! Call them. Simple job or super complicated? They will do it no problem. Always on time and always with care. I recommend to my friends all the time.
The best caring and in time pet sitting surface. They go beyond anyone else I ever used. Trust worthy, polite and gives your animal attention the way it should be. Anja does a great job!
Jess and her friendly and professional staff always exceed expectations! I have 100% trust in her business to take the absolute best care of my babies! My fur family is certainly a handful. I have a 12 year old, 10 lb little man who needs daily medications multiple times a day. His medicines require him to be put out frequently. He also has heart disease and anxiety. I have a 2 year old kitty cat with the zoomies who likes to try and sneak out. Jess with her supervisory veterinary experience and knowledge have proven to handle our crazy! She responds to all inquiries in a speedy and concise manner. Jess and her staff go above and beyond with their communication. I appreciate her updates and pictures while away. I cannot thank Jess and her family and business for their loving, kind and passionate approach. They are the best!
This was my first time using a pet sitter and it very much paid off! Jessica and Matt are warm and inviting and asked all the right questions for when they watched my cat. I came back and found my house clean and my cat happy as can be! Even when I had a question at 9PM, they picked up my call and assisted me. Not only that, they are the most reasonably priced pet sitters in the greater Lancaster area. A great company that I will definitely be using in the future!
What a caring team! One of our dogs is very skittish around strangers and cannot stay in a traditional kennel, but she is a champ when she is in Jess + Matt's care! We are never worried when we are away because we know both of our babies are in good hands! I couldn't recommend them enough to people! Keep up the great work, YPOM team!!
YPOM is our dog’s second home! We have been with them since they started - and have always been pleased. Our pup is always happy to see Jess, Matt, and the kids, and seems to love being with them, which gives us super peace of mind while traveling. We highly recommend them - as they name says - in your place or theirs - you won’t be disappointed!
We really appreciate Jessica and Matt's caring approach to pet care. The first time Matt came to walk our scared little rescue dog, Rocky refused to leave his crate. Matt spent a lot of time (and treats) coaxing him and finally got him outside. Since then, Rocky loves Matt! We always know that our animals are in good hands with Your Place or Mine Pet Sitting!
We've been using YPOM for three years now, and are extremely happy with their services. Our two kitties always receive excellent care. It's nice having piece of mind when we are away, and it's nice to know that we can add extensions or changes with short notice.
Love these guys! They are very professional yet very attentive and kind to our animals. Administering medication to our cat was not an issue for them. On top of everything, they even checked our hot tub for us after a bad storm! Thank you-thank you for being awesome in every way!
Katya worked with me very, very last minute & was professional from the start. She loved on our pup multiple times throughout the day with pictures sent to me every visit. Very excited to have someone local & running her own small business! Thank you again, Katya!
I have Katya cat sit my 6 cats when we are away. She is exceptional with her care. She loves my cats & plays with them when she is here. I am very particular about my fur babies, they are my family so having someone I can trust with them is monumental. I love her like a Granddaughter. The first time I met her I knew she would be absolutely great with my babies. She is the best there is!
10/10 recommend Katya service! I needed someone on such short time notice & she made sure Dior was taken care of! Very accommodating & affordable! She even sends you pictures/updates when she goes to see your furry friend! Dior can’t wait to see you again!
Katya is a great pet sitter! She makes sure to send photos each day. She helps this mama feel more at ease when we’re on vacation. I know our baby is safe. I’d recommend her services to anyone who needs a sitter! 😊 …
My experience with Katya has always been super positive. Whether i’m giving plenty of notice or in a pinch, she is always willing to help. I have two guinea pigs, so finding care for them is harder than I had originally anticipated. After meeting for a consolation (which was so kind of her to offer), I have had a phenomenal experience with her care. My guinea pigs always return happy and healthy (sometimes sad that they’re leaving her). I just appreciate how attentive Katya is to their needs!! Highly recommend!!
Katya and her team are fantastic! She’s accommodated me on EXTREMELY short notice more than once, a total godsend. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the amount of care she does. I love getting the pictures of my sweet girl when she’s on a walk or snuggling on the couch. I’ve used her for drop-ins, dog walking and overnight boarding. All have been fantastic experiences.
Fantastic care for our dog! Great communication and lots of love and play time. Katya has created a strong network of great pet sitters. We were thrilled and will definitely use her services again!
I hired this company and I was told the fee was $150 total but the babysitter who came and showed up to collect the remaining money said oh no ma’am it’s only $120 and I had 150 in the envelope, I rearranged my vacation to go away on August 27 to the 30th so that I could use the same babysitter Until I found out that the owner would not let up on collecting that extra $30 she was bent on communicating with me every day to get a $30 fee when I gave them 120 because of the babysitter saying oh no, you don’t need to give 150 I gave $120 She says I’ll just use the extra 30 for my Tip. I had arrangements to meet the babysitter to pay her on Saturday and this owner Katika was relentless on trying to collect that additional $30 from me. I already had it set up between the babysitter and I we were doing just fine until Katika got involved so if you wanna Cooperative Company who has their act together who communicates with their employees so they don’t try to charge their client more money than I would say go elsewhere because the owner of this company is not someone you wanna deal with. They are more interested in getting your money than they are and taking care of your dog
Katya took wonderful care of our black lab while we were gone for a long weekend at the beach! She sent updates with photos or videos with every visit which was very reassuring to know he was doing well. Would definitely recommend Katya to care for your pets and will have her come back again!
Katya took excellent care of our puppy while we were away. highly recommended.
We have loved the customer service with PetSmart so far! Our dog loves day camp and his overnight stays. They always remember him by name when we come in and they are always willing to update us on how he’s doing at his stays. The staff is wonderful! I recommend them to anyone!
All I can say is Thank you!!! Had to make a reservation a few days before the 4th of July weekend after driving for over 16 hours from Florida to visit family. My sisters dogs were not having it with a strange dog in her house. The staff at Petsmart PetsHotel took great care of my Shadow. My kids and wife were sad so I stopped by for a visit with them after Shadow’s 2nd day and he was a happy pup. Staff was very friendly, from the phone receptionist, the front desk at hotel, to the people in back. They answered all our questions and were really reassuring us that Shadow was in good hands. Best decision in short notice and it was worth it. When we picked him up to head back to FL he was bathed and got a goodie bag of treats with a report card!!! Will definitely use this place again in my future visits to PA.
I send my pups to this location occasionally and have never had an issue. Even if I have last minute plans, they are always able to accommodate. I go to Banfield for my pet's health needs so transferring information was easy.
Our dog Loki was a stray rescue we had picked up about a year and a half ago. We work really hard with Loki about his insecurities with humans and other dogs. We were very anxious to have him stay in any kennel. But let's face it. Everyone needs a Vaca. After researching we picked pets hotel at petsmart. We booked a 4 day 3 night stay. We added half day doggy day camp, doggy ice cream and a private suite. We packed up his huge comfy blanket and all his toys. I pre portioned food so there would be no issues. Off we went. We did receive two pictures of Loki. This was awesome but also had us missing our pooch. We returned Monday morning. We did get there earlier than we had said. But they were fine with that and had Loki packed up very quickly. Loki came out and had a huge smile on his face. For a minute he didn't want anything to do with us. Then he realized. Barking kisses and rolling on the ground quickly insude. He seemed healthy and happy. The girl who rung us out let us know key points to his stay. For example, Loki wouldn't poop inside, go figure :) But what impressed us is she took him outside and walked him instead then! Wow, going above and beyond! Thank you petshotel and all the employees! We now can take vacations with no worries and honestly it was reasonably priced.
Loved it! They sent me a picture of my puppy while I was on vacation and he received a goodie bag when we picked him up. Everyone knew him when walking out the store, I felt like he was very well taken care of.
great
Great with my dog and customer service was excellent. A little slow and didn't remember my dog's name.
Petshotel at Petsmart has been reassuring for us. They always update us on our dog, and love caring for our energetic doggy.
Very caring and professional.
Yessss
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!
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.
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
We left our elderly dog home for the first time last weekend with Laura from the Moritzen team and we can’t say enough positive things. She checked in with us along the way and was extremely thoughtful of Daisys health and safety. My mind was at ease completely within 5 minutes of her being at our house. Very professional from start to finish!!
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!
We highly recommend the Moritzen family pet sitting!! They walk our dog at least 4 times a week when we are at work, & each and every day we are still provided with a very detailed message on how he is, what they did and accompanied with all the best photos of our boy! They are so understanding and flexible even with last minute bookings, we could not be happier! They truly go above and beyond to take such great care of him.
April takes amazing care of our dog and has been SO flexible and communicative. She not only provides basic care but goes above and beyond by bringing her on fun outings, hikes, walks, and even has helped with some training needs we have. As someone who is gone a decent amount and always worried about getting the best care for our doggy, she’s a godsend.
I can't recommend April enough. April is dedicated, thoughtful, reliable, and a wonderful person who truly cares about the animals she takes care of. We have a deaf puppy, a diabetic cat, and a Great Dane who all require different handling issues. The one thing that you want with someone who takes care of your babies is reliability and trust and I never worry about our animals when she is taking care of them. One time, our puppy chewed his way out of the crate and April went over right away with a crate and saved our house from destruction. If that isn't amazing service, I don't know what is. If you need someone to take care of your babies worry free, please reach out to her. She is very responsive and always sends a message prior to watching as confirmation which I love. She is also a trainer and I highly recommend her classes if you need dog training!
We have 2 larger dogs who we had never left with a sitter before. April was wonderful! She was great with the dogs, stayed at our home with them so they were comfortable and she was so easy to work with. We will definitely look to have April watch our dogs again next time we go away or just need some help during the day if we cannot get home! It works perfectly for us and the dogs loved her!
April was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. She took daily photos and sent us updates to check in. Our pups were very happy upon return! We look forward to future trips knowing our pups are in good hands.
April is great with our dogs. We needed help in a pinch and she responded right away and is always prompt with communication. She is also very affordable for us which is so helpful. I will definitely recommend her to others and will continue to have her help us when needed in the future for sure!
Trustworthy, reliable, and kind with our challenging pup!
April is the best! She cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She's very reliable and has a true passion for helping dogs. I have hired her for walks and playtime during long work days as well as for dog-sitting for vacations, including overnight stays. She was so helpful with my aging dog, showing such care for him. With her expertise as a dog trainer, she's fantastic with my dogs, including my foster dogs and family dogs that may be more hesitant with new people. She's been a life saver on many occasions! I couldn't recommend her more highly!!
Elizabeth is excellent. Whenever we are out of town, she stops by to look after our cats. She makes sure they have food, water, and get their meds. She even sends pictures of them to us, which is always appreciated! It’s nice to know that we have someone we can trust looking after our pets while we’re away. Friend of a Friend is absolutely fantastic!
Elizabeth of Friend of a Friend Pet Care has been the best comfort for us every time we travel and have to sadly leave our fur kids behind. Especially our rescue kitten- who is timid and rather spicy with strangers- Elizabeth was there for us with her from the very beginning. She goes above and beyond with updates , notes and the cutest pictures. She is always timely and responsible and so sweet. We cannot thank her enough for keeping us at ease and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely thrilled with the care Elizabeth provided for our cat while we were on vacation. She even grabbed the mail and watered our flowers for us. She didn't rush in and out like some sitters I've hired and am very happy to say she will be my go to for all pet care in the future! 10/10!
Elizabeth’s care for my furry family while I was away put my mind at ease knowing all was good ❤️. Great attention to details ensuring all their needs were met and sent me picture of them on each visit, which added to my comfort. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth is a caring, responsible trustworthy pet sitter. She’s been caring for my two kitties for close to ten years. She even tidied up my place last time she was cat sitting while I was out of town! Give her a call!
Friend of a Friend Pet Care is fabulous! We needed last minute help recently and Elizabeth was amazing! Even our super shy cat felt comfortable with her. Super trustworthy and great with animals! She also very kindly sent us pics of our cats while we were away. Highly recommend!
I truly can’t say anything negative about FOAF petcare. As someone who travels for work fairly often, I feel extremely lucky to leave my babies in Elizabeth’s care. She’s caring, responsible and reliable...and my girls love her. It’s great to get texts while I’m gone letting me know everything is OK at home. And it’s great to know if something comes up on my end, as delays sometimes do, Elizabeth and her team will be there to continue to take care of my kitties and my house, always and all ways. Thank you so much, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and her helper Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our cats for 5 days. Elizabeth is very responsive in answering emails. I worry about my cats when we're away but Elizabeth puts my mind at ease by texting photos of the crew. Will use Friend of a Friend Pet Care in the future.
Recently moved to the area and only wanted the best care for my 2 cats while my wife and I are out of town - well, I'm convinced I found it! Communication was tremendous all the way from my initial inquiry to house visits to follow up after returning from our trip. From the time Elizabeth stepped foot in our house I knew we'd made the right choice. Bottom line is if you're like me and are really picky about who to place trust in to come into your home and care for your pets, then your search is done. Couldn't recommend enough.
Friend of a Friend Pet Care and House Sitting is likely one of Lancaster's best services available. Extremely friendly and thorough. My mind always at ease knowing my furry friends are being looked after in their own home. We even get photos of the visit and daily updates! Couldn't ask for anything better than that!
