Danielle is amazing!! She has been walking my two pups on a regular basis for a few months. She is always on time and so communicative in how my pups did on their walk. I can tell Danielle cares for them like they are her own. I highly recommend her!

About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.

About: Hi there! I’m a recently graduated physician assistant (PA) awaiting my hospital start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for your beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks to fill up my day meaningfully, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. I’m a recently graduated physician assistant awaiting my start date so my availability is currently wide open and I’m eager to help care for beloved pets however I can. My schedule is easily customizable. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets and farm animals since the day I was born. From dogs and cats to cows and chickens, caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. ❤️ What I Offer Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood stroll, an energetic walk to burn off some zoomies, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care. You can count on me to treat your pet like part of my family — because to me, that’s exactly what they are. I work full time Monday-Friday so I’m available for walks in the evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also exploring options with boarding at my house in the country with my 2 dogs-Lulu and Buddy! During our walks, I: Use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure safety at all times Keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid hazards or stressful encounters Provide a balanced mix of exercise, sniffing time, and positive attention Offer water breaks on warm days and adjust the pace based on your dog’s needs Give plenty of praise, reassurance, and affection to make every walk enjoyable When we return, I always make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and is settled before I leave. My goal is to make each walk something your dog looks forward to — safe, fun, and full of tail wags! 🐾

About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl! I work night shift so I am available most days and some night to help out when needed! Feel free to contact me!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, dogs, cats, rabbits, and even fish, so caring for pets feels like second nature to me. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years for families with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m patient, calm, and very intentional about making animals feel safe and comfortable, especially in new environments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior cues so each pet gets the care that fits them best. I also have experience with puppies who need extra guidance and playtime, as well as senior pets who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or gentle handling. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. 🐾💛 I fit pet care into my schedule before and after work as well as in the evening hours. This way your pets are given the time they need. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every home. I follow your pet’s normal schedule, keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language so they feel relaxed and understood. I always ensure fresh water, clean litter or feeding areas, and provide playtime, cuddles, or quiet company depending on what your pet prefers. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Hello my name is Chelsea. I am a surgical veterinary technician at a busy animal hospital and online college student studying to become a registered veterinary technician. I live in Fairfield PA with my boyfriend and pack of rescue animals. This includes a blind kitty named Hank, a little orange tabby cat named Phoebe, a pitbull mix named Harper, and a foxhound named Roger. I have a passion for helping pets in need and so they have all come to live with me through different but unfortunate circumstances. Work, volunteering at rescue, and caring for my own animals has made me comfortable giving medications, feeding animals, and bathing animals with various medical needs. Please reach out to me with any questions. I work full time Monday to Thursday, 10+ hour shifts but am typically free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well as most national holidays (unless I am on call for work). Due to my very small house and other animals I cannot provide in home pet sitting or boarding at this time. I can however come to you if you live relatively close by. I can provide walks, play time, feeding/watering, etc in a clients home instead.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 and have been dog sitting since I was 17 and had my license. All dogs large and tiny from chihuahua to Great Dane! I can also handle giving dogs medication as our childhood dog had diabetes and needed insulin shots twice daily. I work from my home but I can also come to your home as well. I am very flexible with my hours and can do long term and short term care. I have a fenced back yard so there is plenty of room for them to run and play. Also my house is dog proofed :) I also take care of reptiles ❤️ I am a stay at home mom to 2 little boys. I am home the majority of the time to care for your pets! I do occasionally have to run my kids to therapy or run errands. I have a fenced in backyard outside. Inside I have plenty of toys, blankets, dog beds and more. Safety is my number one priority when they are in my care.

About: I’ve always been drawn to helping animals, regardless as to if it’s simply taking them outside to walk, potty or even down to the medicine side to helping with emergencies & simple annual visits. I currently am a Vet Technician at a Vet hospital in East Berlin, Pennsylvania. I just want to be more involved with my days off on the more simpler side of animals. I rceently moved out of a home with 3 dogs, 3 cats and a tortoise. So my experience with animals in home is endless, but now I currently live with my three cats that are very well loved.

About: I have owned dogs all my life. I can’t see myself without a dog by my side. I’ve owned all kinds of dogs and a few cats. I have completed several dog training lessons and have work diligently with my present dog I rescued that is high anxiety. I walk my hound dog 5-6 days a week. I’ve participated in dog fundraisers and 5k to raise money for shelters. I feel it’s important that dogs are treated like family but should listen well. We’ve taken our dogs on vacation and rides. I will be sure to give your pet one on one attention while I am attending at your home. I will send pics and updates while visiting along with treats if you prefer for me to do so.
