About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.
“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie took care of my two indoor kitties and my outdoor feral family for a week. I felt very confident that all was being well cared for and could completely relax and enjoy my beach vacation. A very reliable, competent and caring professional.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my “baby “ cat 😻, Arya. Lauren is by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. She was punctual, detailed oriented, and kept a daily thorough journal about her visit. She updated me daily how Arya was doing, took pictures every day; which greatly reassured me that she was in excellent hands. Lauren truly loved animals and took care of Arya as if it was her own. She spent daily over 30-40 minutes per visit, playing with my cat and provided for her needs. I would 💯 % recommend Lauren for your “fur baby” and would be thrilled to use her again. Thank you Lauren for your excellent care.”

About: I have grown up with lots of dogs from small to large! I own a dog myself and two bunnies! Most of my experience is with dogs but I’m a fan of all animals! Willing to care for any needs you require. I am a stay at home Mom that works part time evenings at wal-mart! I have available weekends and daytime hours! I can make evenings available if needed! I have a car of my own to get to your pet whenever needed! I do not do any in house care. I am willing to do all of your needs at your home! Walks, feedings, cuddles, playing, etc!
About: Having pets since I was 7, I have long understood the importance of animal care. Since I was in high school, friends, family, and neighbors have asked for my help in pet sitting and house sitting. Over the years I have taken care of horses, goats, sheep, rodents, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and of course dogs and cats. Needless to say, I am not afraid of any animal and believe all living creatures deserve the top quality care. I have two years of experience majoring in Wildlife Care, and have taken many courses in animal husbandry. This, along with my Dog and Cat first aid certification through the Red Cross, has made me fantastic at caring for the medical aspect of animal care. I can administer medication and handle emergencies with a clear head and a focus on the animal's well being. In the past, I have taken care of my own elderly/disabled dogs as well as those of my friends and family. This includes dogs in hospice care that have needed to be carried. While I have less experience with puppies than I do elderly dogs, I have raised and trained my own current dog from 1 y.o.. I am not afraid of the mess or energy level of puppies and puppy teeth don't bother me! I am a barista and am returning to school in the fall. With odd hours for a regular job, I know I can lend my services to someone who needs it! I take care of animals in the way the owner sees best, whether that's yard time, or walks, or both! I have no problem crating a dog, cleaning up after an animal, and giving medications or food.
About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life living in the country. I spent my childhood riding horses and had a home full of Great Danes, pugs, and cats. I have currently for the past five years taken care of many dogs / cats surrounding Nay Aug Park, Scranton area, Clark Summit, and Lake Ariel. I own an Arabian horse, five ducks and two cats near Moscow PA on ten acres in the countryside. I promise to love your animals just like my own and so look forward to giving them a lovely time while you are away. I work for myself from home in documentary film so I have a very flexible morning and daytime schedule that I'm sure will be able to fit your needs. I make sure to take care of each pet as their owner wishes knowing that each pet and home is different. I always stick to a client's schedule knowing that animals are very routine based.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 9 years now, and care for each of them as if they were my own (I have one dog and one cat, Harlan and Rajah!). Family and friends have trusted me to care for, feed, walk, and play with their pets. They know their animals are in good hands with me. I’m at stay-at-home cat & dog mom, so I’m available to walk your pup anytime during the day! And if it’s a drop-in visit you need (dogs or cats), I’m here for that, too! I understand the importance of routine for our furry friends. I always make sure to provide a sense of safety with the dogs and cats, helping them to establish trust with me. I respect the rules of the house, and follow all pet instructions.
About: I have experience in taking care of all types of animals, like equines, exotics, and even the little kangaroo that’s in my profile picture. I love animals, and I have been caring about them ever since I was little. That is why I am in college to become a veterinarian :) I’m currently in school, but the free time when I’m not volunteering at the veterinary clinic or working at my job, I am always caring for my animals. I would love to keep an animal in their environment as to not further stress them out. I can stay overnight, or drop in, depending on what is needed of me.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood. Various tasks such as, dog sitting full time, or just taking on a short walk and feeding dinner. I’m a full time student, but I have a lot of free time in my schedule during the week and weekends. I love all dogs and work very well with them! I do not have the space to care for dogs, but I am comfortable in other owners homes, and I am very comfortable with any dog that I meet.
