About: Hello! I’m Charity. I’ve been petsitting since I was 10yrs old. I was that kid who knocked on your door asking to walk your dog and before I knew it, it had become a full blown business! I’m a full time student now so I have wide availability this summer but if I connect really well with a client I’m more than happy to work around my schedule when the fall semester comes so I can keep caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how difficult it is to be able to afford quality pet care you can trust without breaking the bank. Especially in this economy! That’s where I come in. Providing pet care with my love and genuine spirit is how I connect with my community. I’ve kept a fair price since 2010 and I always will. Dogs and cats are just the beginning! Big dogs, little dogs, grumpy cats, sunshine cats, you name it I’ve cared for it! I also have experience with birds, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish, geckos, and turtles. Any other animals and I’m always willing to learn! Reach out if you have any questions, have a great day and God bless. I’m a full time student so my summer is wide open! If a client and I really connect I’m more than happy to work around the fall semester so I can keep your pets happy. I have two cats and two birds so unfortunately I do not offer in home care. But I’m happy to go to you to provide any services needed!
About: I have had all kinds of pets my whole life. From dogs and cats to fish and guinea pigs. I am a huge animal lover and love making new fur friends! I’m currently working part time during the evenings and I am also a nursing student. This allows me to have flexibility during the day to help give your animals a break until you get home. Safety for your pets is my utmost priority. When caring for your pets, I will always make sure they have all of their needs met.
About: I have been taking care of family's pets for the past three years. I love playing and caring for both dogs and cats. I have worked with 1 month old kittens and elder dogs. I have watched my neighbor's pets for week long vacations and even shorter care like dropping in, feeding, and letting outside. I have my own dog named Apollo, who I have had for the past 9 years. My close friends have pets that I have taken care of for them, whether it's been just for the day or for longer periods of time, such as overnight or week long care. I treat all animals with respect and safety. I make sure I truly understand what the owner and pet are comfortable with while the pet is in my care. I pay attention to detail while feeding, playing, and caring for pets.
About: An organized, and very tidy sitter who is understanding of partners/families who are the need of a getaway. Experience in medication administration, cat and dog friendly including large breed dogs. I’m a stay at home mom who has 2 cats and a Golden Retreiver. Animals are the best form of therapy, and are the only souls who don’t pass along judgement. They keep me grounded. I recently lost a cat who was my best friend of cancer. He also had asthma, as well as liver and digestive issues. I would have done absolutely anything for him and putting him down to alleviate the pain and suffering that he was going through was the worst day of my life. In having him diagnosed with the medical conditions that he had, I became well versed in administering medications as well as being proactive in diet restrictions/changes. I have a 7 year old golden retriever who enjoys the outdoors and multiple walks around my apartment complex. I have 2 cats(one male & one female). The female is 12 years old and sweet but, a diva. We have been together since she was 8 weeks old. She’s relocated with me on every single move to where I’m currently living. She recently was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and needs to have a topical medicine administered daily to her inner ear. The other cat is a male who had rescued from a busy road in Red Lion. He is now a permanent resident. He is a lover but also enjoys the outdoors at night rain or shine . Please don’t be alarmed if he runs out but, be mindful to make sure he’s inside upon completion of your visit.
About: Hi everyone! I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have been trusted by friends and family to walk and dog sit their pets. I also helped train my dog, Kobe, giving me hands-on experience with basic commands. I’m dependable, attentive, and passionate about making every pet feel loved and comfortable. Currently, I work part time at Stauffers of Kissel Hill grocery store in Roherstown and I am an undergrad student at Millersville University. During the Summer I have plenty of free time to care and play with your pets! On the weekends, I am free Fridays and Saturdays whenever as well as before 3 on Sundays. During the week, I am available some Mondays, Wednesdays at any time, and Thursdays after 4. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any specific instructions provided so your pet feels safe and cared for in their own space. I make sure they will get as much love, attention, exercise, or space as they need! Communication and trust is a big factor so I will keep owners updated with messages and pictures to give peace of mind.
“Carrington did a great job with my nervous rescue pup and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule. Would absolutely use her again!”
