We had such an incredible day at Pawsitively for the Animals’ 8th annual Howl-o-ween Parade!!!
We were accompanied by Sassy the Lion and Mabel the bumble bee, and we got to tell so people about the fund and meet so many perfect, spooky little pets!! We made a lot of new friends, and saw some familiar faces as well 💜

A huge thank you to Pawfectly Stylish for the donation of their bandanas, we were able to sell those to get closer to our goal of $4,000 more for the water at the dog park!!

We loved every minute of this day and all the costumes! We especially loved Glinda the Sphynx cat, W***y Wonka, Dolly Parton, Little Bo Peep and her sheep, Lucy the Vampire, and Winnifred Sanderson!!!

An absolutely incredible day for such great causes! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support us, and for all of the donations and support!! A special thank you to Stately Pet Supply for donating treats to hand out to all of the little girls and goblins 🎃💀👻

The Sit & Stay Pet Support Fund will be joining Pawsitively for the Animals for their 8th Annual Howl-O-Ween Pet Parade & Costume Contest this Sunday!!

It is this Sunday, October 18, 2026 from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM at McDade Park in Scranton and we would love to see our pack there!!

Bring your four-legged best friends, dress them in their Halloween finest, and join us for an afternoon of festive fun, adorable costumes, and fundraising!!

We’ll have our festive Halloween pet bandanas, donated to us by Pawfectly Stylish, and plenty of information about the work we’re doing to help local pets and their families!

We will be fundraising for Sit & Stay Pet Support Fund, which helps pets receive necessary veterinary care when their families are facing financial hardships. Through the generosity of our community, we’re able to assist with emergency treatments, surgeries, diagnostics, and other critical veterinary needs.

As well as the Abington Dog Park at Hillside Fund!! We’re currently raising money to bring running water directly to the dog park, and we’ve already raised $8,000 and are just $4,000 away from our fundraising goal! Every donation brings us one step closer to making this long awaited improvement!!

This is going to be such a fun day and we are so excited!! The entire event benefits Pawsitively for the Animals, which is a local nonprofit that helps pets and families like us. There will be tons of vendors, basket raffles, and so many cute dogs in Halloween costumes, which as far as we’re concerned, it really doesn’t get better than that!!

We’ll see you on Sunday 🎃👻💀🐶

We’re excited to introduce the Abington Dog Park at Hillside Fund, one of the charitable funds established through Sit & Stay Pet Sitting and hosted by the Scranton Area Community Foundation!

This fund was created to support improvements, enhancements, and future projects at the Abington Dog Park at Hillside Park, helping make it an even better place for local dogs and their families to enjoy for years to come.

Bringing Running Water to the Dog Park is our current goal!

Right now, we’re raising funds to install a dedicated water line to the dog park. This improvement will provide a reliable source of fresh, running water for our four-legged friends, making visits safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable for everyone!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters and grant funding, we’ve already secured $8,000 toward our $12,000 goal!

That means we’re just $4,000 away from having the funding needed to move this project forward!

Whether it’s $5, $10, $25, or more, every donation brings us one step closer to making this long-awaited improvement a reality. Even sharing this post helps us spread the word! And don’t forget to follow Sit & Stay Pet Support Fund page to stay up to date!

We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported this project so far. We’re incredibly excited about what this fund can accomplish, not just with the water project, but with future improvements to a park that means so much to our community 💜🐶

They met goats and chickens, picked out pumpkins, snacked on roasted hot dogs, met a lot of new friends, got lots of loving, and they even went down the slide with Nic!!

We had the BEST day!!! Thank you to all the parents who joined us, and the parents who let us take their dogs to the pumpkin patch for the day!!

Taking a moment to celebrate the stroller 🎉💍

When the plan became for Ollie be a permanent guest at the wedding, we knew that was going to be a very long day for such a tiny little boy, so we thought he’d love the stroller!! Spoiler alert, he did 🥲

I couldn’t allow the stroller to just be a regular stroller, so I went to Michael’s and threw some things together to make the little price his own chariot that matched mom and dad’s colors!!

I think we’ve officially added “Wedding Chariot” to our variety of services 🥰

Yesterday we got ourselves cleaned up to be Ollie’s plus one for his parents wedding 🧡

One of the best things about this job is meeting people who become family. When Dana and Casey asked us to be a part of such an important day, accompanying one of (if not the most) important person (dog) in their life, we knew we had to go above and beyond.

This little guy was there for every moment, part of their first dance, had a little chicken piccata for dinner, and was definitely the coolest guy there.

On top of that, we got to celebrate two people we love and spent the whole night with our little baby boy 💙🐾

Little man is rehearsed and ready for his parents big day today 💜💍
Ollie is the first pup who will be attending the entire wedding and reception from start to finish!! He’ll be hitting the dance floor with his favorite humans, sipping puptails, and kissing babies all day long! Stay tuned for his wedding looks 👑

Oakley’s Big Day 💍🐾

Oakley put on his best tux, brushed his curls, cleaned his paws, and got to celebrate mom and dad tying the knot!! Isn’t he just the most handsome Best Dog you’ve ever seen?! He was so excited to pose for pictures and see all his favorite humans. He definitely thought it was his big day because everyone was asking to take pictures with him too!! He couldn’t take his eyes off mom, loved spending time with grandpa, and was ready for anything they asked him to do (especially when there was bacon waiting for him on the other side of the lens) 🥰

Congrats on your big day, Oakley!! And congratulations to the bride and groom 💜

Introducing the Christine Dreger Memorial Fund 💜

Our newest, and 4th fund of the Sit & Stay Pet Support Fund, through the Scranton Area Community Foundation.

In honor of Nic’s mum, who loved animals so deeply, and had an open door policy for all four legged, feathered, finned creatures. She would have been 69 today, and while we spend every day missing her, wishing she was still watching our stories, and keeping track of all her favorite pack members, we think this fund is the perfect way to keep her alive and with us, while continuing our mission.

The Christine Dreger Memorial Fund is specifically to help with end of life services for our favorite family members. This fund exists in partnership with Aspen Meadows Pet Aquamation & Memorial Services, whose mission is similar to ours, and hearts are dedicated to pets in North Eastern Pennsylvania.

When we first met with them, they told us about how sometimes not every pet parent has the necessary funds to put their pets to rest. They have a “community garden” where their remains will go, and their aquamation will happen with other pets of similar circumstances. Those pets will never return home, they will never find their way back to the mantelpiece, where their family can look at them and smile, see a piece of their fur, the print of their paw. Sometimes because that’s what is chosen, but more often than not, simply because their family can’t afford any other option.

Aspen Meadows has kindly and generously agreed to work with us, to create a fund, to ensure that families will be able to bring their beloved family members home with them. To rest, where they belong, while crossing to the other side peacefully.

If you, or anyone you know, finds themselves in this position, during one of the most difficult moments of their life, they can work directly with Aspen Meadows, and then apply for our help. The last thing we want people to worry about is how they can afford to bring them home.
