A Little About Me
I'm Mike, though most folks around here call me Big Mike. I grew up right here in Lancaster County with a houseful of pets, and honestly, I can't imagine life without animals around. Dogs, cats, birds, you name it. If it's got four legs (or fins, or feathers), I'm probably already friends with it. With years of hands-on experience caring for over 50 different pet species, I've built Big Mike's Pet Sitting into the trusted name for animal care in central Pennsylvania.
Look, I get it. Leaving your pet with someone new is nerve-wracking. They're family, not just animals. That's exactly why I started this business. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I wanted to give local pet owners a team they can actually trust. We're not some big faceless company. Every member of my team is hand-picked, trained to my standards, Pet First Aid certified, and genuinely loves animals. We carry full liability insurance so you have complete peace of mind. You'll get to know your sitter, and they'll get to know your pets.
I've cared for just about every kind of pet you can think of, from high-energy labs who need to burn off steam, to senior cats who just want their dinner on time and a quiet lap to sit on. Fish tanks, bird cages, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, I've got you covered. We've served over 500 happy clients across Elizabethtown, Hershey, Lititz, Lancaster, Mount Joy, and 20+ other communities in our 30-mile service area. And yes, I'll send you pictures so you don't worry.
Give me a call and let's chat about your pets. No pressure, no sales pitch, just a conversation between neighbors about how I can help.
