About: I have 20 plus years experience taking care of dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and health needs. I have also been an active foster for the local shelters/rescues for 10 years, caring for many dog breeds and nursing them back to health. I am new to Rover, but I have been rescuing, fostering, and loving dogs back to life for years now! I am a school teacher, I am open on the weekends for full time boarding/drop ins , and drop ins before 7am or after 3 during the weekday. I am also open during holiday/fall/spring breaks during the year. I have a fully fenced in yard, and your pup is allowed anywhere in my home if dog friendly. I have a fully functional, a/c, bathroom etc.. mother-in-law cottage where I would stay with your pup, if they didn't want to socialize. I will do what works for you!

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for different neighbors! I myself have chickens and a cat right now but I have had fish, dogs, and bunnies also! Currently in PA school on rotations and have lots of free time in between shifts and classes so I can be available whenever it is all just kind of random! I am very sweet with animals and like to give them lots of love! I will cuddle with them and also love going on lots of walks!

About: Hi there. I’m Zack. I have always had a passion for animals, along with our family having our own. I have been dog walking/house-sitting for 5 years now, and let me just say, it’s one of the best jobs in the world for someone who has a deep attachment to animals. They are part of our lives from the day they come home. You can always rely on me giving them all the care and love they need, and anything you request or need additionally for their wellbeing, don’t ever hesitate to ask twice. I started off caring for animals after a dear friend recommended me to a very sweet couple in need of this. They worked full time jobs and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I started doing that and from there, built up my clientele. It’s just amazing to be able to work with these dear furry friends. I’m always there for them and you. Thank you.

About: When it comes to pet sitting, there are countless options available, but what truly sets me apart from others is a unique blend of experience, passion, and personalized service. I OFFER TAILORED CARE FOR EACH PET : I understand that each pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal, allowing me to tailor your care approach. Whether your baby is a shy kitty that needs extra gentle coaxing or an energetic dog that requires plenty of exercise, I customize my time with your furbabies to ensure each of them feel safe and loved. TOP NOTCH COMMUNICATION SKILLS : I prioritize open and honest communication with my clients. I keep you updated with regular messages ,photos, and videos to assist in reassuring you that your furry family members are in great hands. Being able to provide detailed reports on your pet's behavior and well- being makes me a reliable choice. EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING : My background in pet care began at a very early age. I've also studied animal psychology and communication and that coupled with my empathy and compassion towards all animals allows me to stand out from the rest of the sitters on here. I am well versed in animal behavior, health, and safety protocols, enabling me to handle emergencies calmly and effectively. My expertise gives you the peace of mind knowing your furbaby is cared for by someone with vast knowledge on the animal kingdom. COMPASSIONATE AND TRUSTWORTHY : My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do. My clients can sense my compassion and dedication, fostering a strong bond of trust. I prioritize the emotional well-being of not only the animals I care for but also the pet parents. I take your decision to trust me with one of your, if not most precious blessings in life very seriously and would never do anything to compromise that in any way. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies and I do everything I can to make this experience as easy and as pleasant as possible. FLEXIBLE AND AVAILABLE : I understand you may have a diverse schedule with varying needs. I offer flexible scheduling options and last minute availability. The ease of my adaptability ensures I can accommodate a wide range of requests, making it easier for you to find the right care for your pets. ENGAGING ACTIVITIES AND SOCIALIZATION : I go beyond basic care by providing engaging activities and socialization opportunities for pets. Interactive playtime, daily walks/runs, and enriching exercise that stimulates your furbaby's mind. This ensures your pets are not only cared for but also entertained and happy. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: I am in the developmental stages of founding a non-profit organization that caters to elder animals ensuring they're loved and cared for during their final days. This is leading to a collaboration between the senior adults in our community who are looking for companionship as well. If you're interested or know someone who could benefit from this service then please let me know! PERSONAL TOUCH : Lastly, my approach is marked by a personal touch. I remember specific details about each pet, such as favorite toys, treats , or routines, and I always incorporate those into my care. My attention to detail allows you to feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care. I am currently taking a short break from work and will be returning on January 1, 2025. That doesn't mean I won't be available after that because of remote work and having an extremely flexible schedule but my 18 year old son will be stepping in more to provide intermittent care through out the day once I work full-time as a Small Business Consultant A sneak peek into our DAILY ROUTINE: Morning care: Every morning I take the dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk. I believe that a good start to the day sets the tone for both pets and their parents. Upon returning to the house it's breakfast time and then a play session. Midday Visits : For clients that need daytime check-ins, I schedule visits that include feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Evening Engagements : In the evenings, I dedicate time to provide additional walks, cuddles, and play sessions, ensuring that the furbabies receive ample attention and care. This is essential for their emotional well-being. Through out the week I maintain flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique needs. Whether it's regular visits, overnight stays, or special requests, I am here to support you and your pet's routine. In addition to my routine, I truly believe in fostering a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry family. I am passionate about providing the best care possible and treat every pet as of they were my own. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's specific needs ,please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll always be here to ensure that you and your pet feel at ease.
