Carolyn was amazing with our two dogs. She was always on time and sent numerous pictures of them playing outside. She even went as far as picking up a prescription for our black lab.

About: I have a senior dog of my own who requires a lot of TLC! With him being 16 I am well versed in administering medicine to animals, giving them all the attention they need, and getting in some active time! I have also house sat and taken care of numerous dogs for a multiple day period! I have been dog sitting as a hobby since I was in high school! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and energy levels! I joined rover because I have an immense love for fur babies and getting to interact with all of them and take care of them fills me with joy! I am currently in college attending IUP. I graduate in December. During my semesters, my classes are all online so I am very available when it comes to my schedule! I also work part-time but the schedule is flexible as well so I can accommodate for any needs you have! With my work and school schedule being very flexible I am able to stop in for frequent potty breaks and check-ins! This allows me to also be very open for walks and stays! With offering services to watch your animal in your home, this allows for the dog to be more comfortable because they’re in their day-to-day environment! I will take the upmost care with respecting your home and not disrupting it!

About: Through my animal science class, I am certified to not only care greatly for your dog but also for any farm animal you could think of. I’ve learned the ins and outs of what it takes to care for a dog! I am excited to care for your pet and give it as much love as you would! I believe in getting outside and having fun with our dogs! A healthy way to allow your dog to grow old with you is to let great walkers such as myself, to get outside with them! I am on summer break from college where I am double majoring in International relations and communications and am flexible throughout these coming weeks. I have open days and can fit in many walks a day. I care with safety as a number 1 priority for every animal and myself. I am firm and can tell a dog what it needs to hear. I am only willing to use my voice. I will never handle a dog or hit at any point during my visit.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I don’t know what my life would be like without them. I am from a big dog kind of family and have been riding horses since I was four years old. I have experience working as a trainer and walker at the shelter near me. We took in fosters in need of urgent homes and even had one of them give birth to a litter of four, all of them were adopted out to friends in our town, even the mom! Friends and family have trusted me with their furry loved ones due to the love and care I provide them with while their families are away. My horseback trainer breeds her dogs yearly and I help care for the puppies and their mother during and after birth. I’ve dealt with many different dogs and can deal with a lot of sizes and energies. I work at a dog hotel in the area and have serviced with veterinarians nearby. Bathing, feeding, handling etc. are all things I am more than experienced dealing with and I love what I do more than anything. I am currently a junior in college and am very flexible with my time and am available most days and in between classes, if you have any questions/requests don’t hesitate to ask! I have off many breaks as well. I have a very large fenced yard and two big dogs to keep your fur baby(s) company. They are very friendly and love all dogs and people, they love to take a dip in the pool and run for hours in the yard. I can easily crate and meet any special needs/requests you or your dog may have. When visiting pets in their home I do not let them leave my sight and will always keep a close eye on them. Making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable is my number one priority.
