Dog Walkers in Benfer, PA

About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.

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.

“Krista was great with Greta! She is a very high energy dog who needs long walks, preferably runs. Greta came back happy as can be!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14; I’ve trained and cared for my golden as well as the four cats in my household. I’ve also started taking on strays! I work full time over the week and I am more than capable making any stops from work or even filling up my weekends taking care of your pet. I am very flexible with instructions if need be. I’ll take care of your dogs or cats with care and diligence. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a wonderful neighborhood that I can walk your pet in.

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.

About: Let’s start this off with the obvious, we don’t deserve pets. No matter how much we love them they will always love us more, we are their whole life and they are such a big part of ours. This is exactly why I wanted to become a pet sitter, to care after the beautiful four legged angels that care for us so much. I have been a pet sister, pet aunt, and pet parent for my whole life, I’ve always been surrounded by animals even if they aren’t mine so I know exactly how to love and treat them! I currently have three cats in my own home. I love taking dogs for long walks so they have ample time to sniff every suspicious leaf before they finally go potty. I love playing with dogs and cats who want to play or chilling and watching a movie with the ones that just want to sleep. I will give your animal all the time and attention they need and will always keep them happy and safe! I can’t wait to meet your favorite pup and/or pups! (Also a cat lover so don’t worry about that!) I have experience with elderly animals as well as dogs & cats that need fluids and/or oral medication. I have a very consistent schedule which helps me be able to plan ahead of time easily to care for your fur babies. I work M-F 8AM-4pm. Monday and Friday I work from home. Tuesday - Thursday I am in the office. It's very important to me to keep all your animals safe and make sure they feel loved. I always trying to build trust and bond with your animal through their favorite activities and treats. If you have an specific safety needs I will listen to them very intently and follow through to keep your fur baby safe and comfortable. I will always keep the safety of your animal in the front of my mind!

“Spot on. Great communication & reliable. My Jada is a true judge of character, so her taking to him says a lot.”

About: I've grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals. I currently care for my sweet senior dog, Diamond, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, so I understand the special attention older pets need. I also have experience caring for a blind dog. I've volunteered at two animal shelters and have experience pet sitting for others. I'm also very active and love going on walks or playing outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide calm, compassionate care that fits their unique personality and needs. I'm currently a student at Penn State and on summer break, so my schedule is very open. I'm taking one online class and working part-time with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of availability to walk, check in on, or stay with your pets. I'm happy to provide in-home pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I'm very mindful about securing doors and gates, and I have experience slipping in and out carefully so curious pets don’t sneak out. I also double-check locks and can crate your dog if needed. I always stick to your pet’s usual routine and walking routes to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm patient, calm, and committed to creating a safe, familiar environment where your pets feel loved and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for 10+years. Friends, families, neighbors they have all relied on me to take care of their pets and still it’s really not like a job but a dream. I currently don’t work , so I am available literally 24 seven to take care of pets of all kinds except Sundays but text or call at anytime. I have a big yard away from the highways I live in the country and I have two friendly dogs to keep company with any kind of other pet visitors we might have.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for at least 13 years. I have done many in-house sittings. I have also walked and fed dogs and cat for many of my friends and family. I currently work full-time. My schedule is hybrid, which means I WFH 3 days a week and I’m in the office 2 days. I usually can move my schedule around to make visits. I cannot do middle of the day visits during the week, but I’m always willing to modify times or work with a pet owner to make sure their pets are getting the care they need. I have a big yard and a lead to take dogs outside. I live in the country so walks are a must around here. If I’m at a clients home, whatever directions are there I will follow them to ensure your pet is cared for with love and a friendly face.

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 in a family of large dogs and have owned two French Bulldogs. I'm opening up my services to meet more amazing dogs and love on them as much as I do my own. I love senior dogs and those with special needs and happy to attend to their every special circumstances. I carry fresh water at all times and make sure our pups stay hydrated and happy. Personally I'm very healthy and fit and happy to exercise with your dog if that's their thing or just take it easy and enjoy the joy of being outside together. I've read Cesar Milan's book on dog psychology and have implemented his method of primal walks and pack leadership. 💛🫶 I'm a freelance creative writer and designer and I work from home. I spend most of my time gardening or working in our orchard, doing yoga, meditating, writing, cooking and reading. I feed my dog fresh premium food and wash the bowls after every meal. I generally avoid people giving out treats to my dog, children and dog parks to keep things safe and consistent. I care for the barn cat and birds. First and foremost I read through all instructions you provide for your pup and make a notecard listing out all details. I reference my notes often to ensure I'm aligned. If staying in my home, your pup will appreciate the same treatment I give my own pup, loads of love, walks and attention. Right now I'm only accepting dogs for overnight that I've developed a strong relationship with. But I have an extra kennel and they can sleep on the bed if you allow it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and other farm animals. I have my degree in Veterinary Technician. I have a little bit of dog training experience. I have trained hunting dogs along side of my husband. I promise to care and love your little one as if they were my own. I will always be there with them. I will make sure they are safe. I am free Friday nights, Saturday and Sundays. I do work Monday - Friday. I have a very flexible work schedule. I do work for family. I can do drop offs Monday mornings on my way to work. I can do pick up Fridays when I’m off. I work from home and I live on 10 acres of lovely mountain property. I do not have a fenced yard. I do have 2 outdoor 12X10 kennels set up. I would never let a dog go out potty without me on a leash. I spend about 30 minutes outside with my own dogs every 1.5 hours. I am outside most of the day unless it’s extremely hot or cold. I am with the animals 24/7. If your dogs likes to be outside I can put them in the kennels for extra outside time. If they like to be inside I can leave them inside while I take other dogs pee. I have a Furbo camera installed so I can view them at all times. Must be good with cats.

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: Hi, my name is Brenda! I have had pets my entire life, and I currently own a Shichon, Golden Doodle and a Shitzu. I have started caring for others in addition to my own! I would love to care for your furry friend! I am very responsible and reliable pet sitter, and will take great care of your pet! I am currently working full-time. After June 5th I will be available during the summer for days and weekends until I go back to work at the school. At that time I will be available evenings and weekends. I will do drop in visit and dog walking as well as taking time to play with your pets. I will always communicate with the owner, whether that be sending them photos of their pets, or just by simply updating them on how things are going via text, or phone call!

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!
