About: I am an active animal lover experienced caring for both older dogs and puppies, even at the same time. I have experience giving meds and helping pets with limited mobility. Puppy training experience too! Cats and pocket pets also welcome. I rescue dogs as a volunteer, and pets are my passion! Included: brushing, medication administration, hiking, kongs, potty training, basic command training for puppies. If desired, I can include a play date with my border collie, too. Young Dog: 2 hikes a day and midday play session. Older Dog: 2 walks as mobility allows. Or 2 big snuggle sessions with brushing and meds. I am a teacher off for the summer and available for house sitting, drop ins, and dog hiking. I have my own dogs cared for by my family at home, so I can arrange for playdates! I follow the rules you set out and keep to the routine your dog is used to. I use positive reinforcement training only, and I have no problem with leash pulling, prey drive etc. I work with these issues using training treats as approved by you!

Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!

Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!

About: I have been a volunteer at the Berkshire Humane Society for about 6 months now working within the kennel and have been trusted with friends and family's dogs throughout my life!

Trista took amazing care of our two girls during our long weekend in Pennsylvania - she sent photos regularly so we could see how they were getting along with her and that they were having fun while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

We met Kenda under urgent circumstances, Having just moved to the Bethlehem area from NH, we knew no one. But then we found Kenda on Rover and all her talents and reccommendations were amazing and we knew right away she was the perfect sitter to meet our 2 dogs, Commet&Vera. Her first visit was exactly what we and our babies needed for our short leave from the home. She came prepared and it was clear she had done her homework reading all about our dogs and their meds on a daily basis. We cannot be happier nor more trusting with Kenda. Best reaction was the dogs first encounter they were elated and even tussled to see who got her attention first. My husband and I highly recommend Kenda especially if you have large dogs who are a bit rambunctious. Kenda is the real dog whisperer with her care of quick understading of our our furriest... thank you from the bottom of our hearts also from our babies. SEE YOU VERY SOON I HOPE.

About: Dogs are a gift to the earth we will never be able to fully appreciate or understand, the protection and kindness and beauty of their soul is something I truly admire. My roommate in college and longtime best friend has a “Canine Training and Management” degree and I have learned extensive tricks and tools from her to help with any disciplinary issues you may have. Dogs just need to be understood and most of the time we just aren’t listening! I have two cats, who are my world. When I’m not working I’m spending most of my time playing with them, cleaning up after them, and making them happy! I would treat your animals as if they were my own, with the level of protection and care that I would protect my own babies with.

We feel so lucky to have found Dana! Her attention to detail, her ability to tune into our particular needs and willingness to take care of chickens as well as our dog, plus a LOL sense of humor made us feel at ease leaving our home and loved ones in her care. Dana kept in contact with us just the right amount the whole week we were gone. When we came home it was if we had never left, happy dog and chickens and tidy home. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches that all add up, like a full woodbox! We will definitely have her help again and highly recommend her.
