Pet Sitting in Bannerville

“Samantha was great! She dropped in on our older (somewhat sassy) hound dog and kept our minds at ease while we were away. Will use her again in the future for sure!”

“This was my first experience using Rover and Katlyn was perfect for the job. Her updates and phots made me smile and put me at ease knowing my cats were in reliable hands. It was clear from the pictures they enjoyed her visits. I will be reaching out to Katlyn again for sure!”

“Bridget was amazing! So friendly, thorough, and professional. I am a bit of a nervous cat mom. Bridget put me, and us, right at ease. It allowed us to enjoy our trip, and family, worry-free. So appreciative!”

About: Always joking that dogs are superior but in truthfulness love all animals. Experienced with dogs but open to providing care for other pets. Will strictly adhere to owner requests, so long as they are humane. (Furniture ok vs not allowed, food/walking schedule, treats, etc.). There will be no shortage of affection and attention, assuming the pet is receptive. Open to assisting with reactive or challenging pets. Attempting to build a trusting bond is an inherent desire. Work from home so (brief) walks, potty breaks, playtime, etc can be provided through entirety of day. Longer walks before 8am or after 5pm. Available 24/7 on weekends and holidays. Live alone so no concerns about other pets or children. Have decent sized yard but do require a leash since there is no fence. Safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood.

About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats

“April was wonderful with our little JRT. She is very caring and attentive sending us texts and photos during her stay. We appreciate finding someone like her to look after our little guy !”

“Brendan has shown kindness and care for my two baby cats Chubi and Cholo. He also responded to our messages promptly. I enjoyed my vacation knowing that my boys were in good hands.”

About: I've had many dogs my whole life. I love playing with them and watching their personalities come out. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dog when she was on vacation. I am working in a reptile building at a zoo, and I also attend college for animal studies, where I work with many different animals. When I'm at the client's house, I will have the dogs on a leash when going outside unless they have a fenced-in yard and they say I can have them off of it. I can also crate the dogs if need be.

“Lexi did a WONDERFUL job with my disabled dog Samantha. She went way above and did several things she was not expecting. She helped with giving fluids to another of my dogs Lucy, and she helped take Samantha to the vet twice! The dogs loved her and she was of invaluable help to my disabled boyfriend who was home with them while I was away. I'll definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals pretty much my whole life. I started out walking dogs around the neighborhood and moved my way up to training bullmastiffs with my family. We have had bullmastiffs for a few years now and I absolutely adore big dog breeds! I would love to take care of your animals for you!! I’m currently a student at Virginia tech so I will have free time in between classes and a majority of the day! My schedule is pretty flexible however you may need! I can feed, play with, brush, bathe, walk, run, whatever your pets may need, I can do for them and for you to make your life easier!

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

“I am very happy with the care Trish provided for my cat while I was away. She was reliable and responsible. My cat came out to say hi, who is usually shy, which says a lot! I received regular updates and photos. When I returned, everything was clean and organized.”

About: I am 23 years old and currently am a stay home mom (9 month old son) and have a part time job (1-2 days a week) at a dog kennel as a receptionist/kennel attendant/groomer. I also have 3 pets. My pets include Bentley (12 year old Yorkshire Terrier), Hadley (2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and Jaxon (goldfish). I enjoy spending time with not only my pets but also the ones I pet sit. I love meeting new animals and learning about their personalities. Pet sitting jobs by me can include; going for walks, playing games such as fetch or tug of war, relaxing and getting belly rubs, and updates and or pictures to the owner (if wanted). To me animals are not just pets they are part of the family as well. I’m currently a stay at home mom to the sweetest 9 month old boy (Charlie). So my schedule is very flexible for taking care of your furry family members :) My 9 month old son would be with me for visits/walks. He has been around dogs of many sizes since birth. I have my own 2 small dogs and my mom has a large lab and an elder small dog as well. So, he is very gentle with all pets he meets.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family and friends always relied on me to take care of their pets while they were away. I’m a cat and dog person. Currently I work part time at a nursing home as a caregiver. I’m available in the late afternoons most days. Most weekends I’m available late morning and early afternoons. I have a underground fence, harnesses, and seatbelts as well as a hammock for in the car. I keep close eye on them. Never leave them out of sight

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

“Emily took very good care of our cat Cali. She sent lots of pictures showing that Cali was doing well. Cali seemed to warm up to Emily quickly. We would use her again.”

About: I have loved animals all my life-dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, bugs-you name it! I got my first pet at age 11 (my calico cat, Abbie) and I've been adding to my collection ever since! I currently have an alapaha blueblood bulldog named Hamilton, a corgi named Pippa, two orange cats named Milo and Stewart, a 6 year old goldfish named Freed, and 9 chickens (all named of course, but I'll spare you that). My first fur baby Elli, a dachshund recently passed away; in saying that I am letting you know that I'm an expert in senior care and giving animals medications as well. Her meds were a full time job. I walk my dog almost daily and love to exercise animals, so I'd love to walk your animals too! Just a part-time registered nurse over here looking to fill my spare time and love on some fur babies! I'm a per diem registered nurse who works evenings and nights so I have lots of time from morning to afternoon to care for your pet. I generally walk my bulldog daily so I'd love to tire out your fur baby too! I am available Monday to Thursday, preferably 0830-200 (with flexibility) to assist you with your pet needs! I have well trained, loved animals at home. In coming to your home, I hope to continue to love your pet like my own while complying to whatever rules you set for the animal and myself. I believe in teaching dogs to walk well on a leash without being too stringent. Safety is always priority as well as making your cat/dog feel at ease.

About: I've been house sitting for friends and family since I was 12. It allowed me to supplement my income and work with the animals that I have loved since a young age. I was a vet tech in high school and during the first few summers in college, gaining small animal medicine and husbandry experience. In addition, I worked at a two different doggy day cares throughout my graduate and undergrad degrees, gaining a lot more experience with dogs and a little bit of dog training. Both of these degrees are also in animal science. I love pets of all kinds and have looked after everything from horses to dogs and cats, to birds. I am new to the area as a recent Penn State hire and don’t have established contacts for dog sitting like I did in the areas that I lived for my degrees. I work full-time but have a fair amount of flexibility to work remotely up to 3 or 4 days a week. If you have a stable wifi connection I will be more available to spend time with your pups although there may still be some days I need to be gone for work for up to 8 hours. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if that is your preference. I will not be boarding dogs as my landlord does not allow pets. I am respectful of your home and space and treat your pets as I would my own!

About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of different dogs which is where my passion for four-legged animals began. In college, I studied Animal Science where I took classes like animal behavior, animal disease and animal nutrition to become well versed in animal husbandry. I worked as a kennel technician at an animal shelter for 3 years where I was directly involved in the handling, cleaning, enrichment, and vetting of up to 50 dogs daily. I am currently working a part-time job which allows me to have extra time to hang out with some four-legged friends! I can be pretty flexible depending on the day, but have most mornings and evenings available to help you out with your pet care needs! As someone who has worked with and studied the proper techniques, I can ensure that your four-legged friends are in the best of hands. I have experience and am comfortable with dogs that require some extra patience. I believe all dogs are good dogs!

About: I’m a dog groomer and I have been certified in pet cpr through the grooming trainer center! I’ve been doing this for two years and have a golden retriever of my own, she just turned five. I’m working full time but can come after I’m done and before I go in! I have off every other Saturday, sundays and mondays. Very flexible! When I take your dog out I will always have it on a leash, I will always make sure it has water and whatever else you need me to do!
