House Sitting in Bart Township

“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”

“Katherine did a fantastic job with my dog Finely. She was communicative and prompt and I was confident that Finley was well taken care of. She even left a printed photo and flowers behind after her stay! The house was also left exactly as she found it. I would not hesitate to book again.”

About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals! As a teen i started pet sitting and knew I wanted to always work with animals so as an adult I went to school for dog grooming. I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention. I am pretty flexible, i'm avaialble during weekdays as well as every other sunday. I will keep my times available updated on the calender here at rover. I am able to feed your animals, take them out to potty, short walks as well as spend time giving them attention and play with them.

“WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Kathleen did a FABULOUS job taking care of my fur babies. She sent updates multiple times per day along with pictures of each one of the pets. 3 needed medication and one was recovering from surgery and needed special care. Care that I trusted only to a trained professional....and that she is! I was able to truly enjoy my time away; knowing that EVERYONE (and my home) were loved and cared for while we were away. I cannot say enough about Kathleen....she made it possible for me to RELAX! Thank you!!!!!”

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

About: Our dog children deserve the best of my experience as a trainer, caregiver and animal lovers will give you safety, I care for my dog angels like mine because they are my happiness therapy. I have plenty of time to play and exercise for your best friend and free him from the strees of confinement on Sundays, fully available or during the week, your comfort is my priority. I have a fenced garden and a beautiful park next to my house and I can take care of it in your house for your safety and confidence. I know many games that puppy and senior dogs like.

“Emily was on time, very comfortable with my puppy from the start, and he seemed to like her a lot. Will definitely use Emily again.”

“Rachel was prompt, sent photos, multiple written updates and took great care of our pup. She was able to figure out her likes and our shy pup quickly warmed up to her 😊”

“Daniel did an excellent job with my dog and guinea pigs who were happy and at ease upon my return.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles and more! My entire life has revolved around animals, from owning 2 horses and 3 cats currently and previously dogs as well. Ive got a pretty flexible schedule with having my own business currently just mostly unavailable on weekends. I am always available midday during the week I always devote my full attention to the care of the animals, giving them all the personalized care and love that they could want :)

About: I have cared for dogs for over thirty years. I have experience with many different breeds of many different sizes and temperament. I have been dog parents to the following breeds: Fox Hound, Pug, Great Dane, Mastiff, English Bulldog, American Bully. I have also volunteered at local shelter. I am currently a High School teacher at a district in Chester County. My summer availability is quite flexible. Availability during the school year would be more limited. Can be adaptable to any routine that works best in the client's home. I can provide service to whatever setting - fenced in yard, not fenced in, urban, suburban, rural setting.

About: I have been around animals all of my life, from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I love walking and hiking, and would be happy to have your pet come along, if that is ok with you. I am a teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible over the summer. I can board your pet during the school year if needed, especially on the weekends. I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.

“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”
