Pet Sitting Galena

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life—to me, they’re more than pets, they’re family, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same dedication. Recently moved to Sunbury 😊 I grew up with a classic black lab named Midnight who put up with all my childhood nonsense (including but not limited to Halloween costumes and getting pulled around in a wagon for fun) - she was the pinnacle of family dogs for 14 years before we lost her to cancer. Eventually we got an American Eskimo of which I named Sage and was allowed to help train with guidance. She was loving when she wanted to be loved and learned tricks like fetching the newspaper from the end of the driveway (when that was a thing). Sage was always my buddy in middle school and high school, she filled my days with countless memories for 13 years before we had to let her go also to cancer. My family now has a tiny, sassy American Eskimo which you’ll see in pictures but in 2020 I began to look for a dog I wanted to add as the first member of my family. As soon as I saw this mini Australian Shepard I knew she was the one. She was adventurous, loving, energetic and is my absolute ride or die ❤️ I cannot picture my life without her. Throughout high school and college I volunteered at the local shelter to feed, bath or walk dogs. I had a family member who also did and sometimes we would foster dogs together if we could make it happen with work I grew up with chickens, ducks and dogs and was usually the girl to care for neighbors animals when they needed. Animals have and always will be apart of my life and family. I’m fairly flexible! I work as a contractor and just moved to Sunbury so I’m f open throughout the day and open to weekends or last minute drop ins if needed. I am happy to care for your dog or cat however you need. Every animal is different with a different personality so I’m happy to do a meet and greet so you can walk me through specifics! I have a 6 year old mini Australian Shepard that I cannot imagine my life without. She plays stick several times a day with me or goes on walks/hikes/whatever adventures. When I do my workouts in the morning I pay the treadmill treat tax and every night she gets night snacks usually in the form of a greenie. So no request is too ridiculous!

About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 6 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to work from home 2 days per week, and the other 3 days I can work either at the office in downtown Delaware, or anywhere else in Delaware County such as a coffee shop or the library. While my "normal" work day is 8-4:30, I can flex my schedule to meet my client's needs. So I may have evening meetings, but then I can take some time off other days of the week. My weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and watch a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.

“Carol was awesome from the moment I met her! She communicated very well. I was always very prompt with responses to my tax and requests. She did a great job caring for my two cats, and I look forward to working with her again! She’s obviously an animal lover, and has lots of experience with animals.”

“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”

“Took great care of my kitten! Fed her on time and also played with her, gave her cuddles and overall gave her company when I was away”

“Eva is amazing and takes careful care in meeting you and your dogs needs on her visits. I had her look after the dogs off and on for 3 days and she was on time and took care of them with ease. Very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!”

About: I bring years of personal, pet care care experience to the table, meaning I know how to smoothly manage daily routines and adapt to any temperament. I thrive on being outside and stay highly active. If your dog needs to burn off energy, or have extended outdoor play. However, I am just as happy relaxing. I prioritize keeping your pet on their regular schedule to minimize stress, guaranteeing you reliable communication and total peace of mind I recently graduated and currently have a completely flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you need morning walks, midday drop ins, or consistent daily care, I have the time and flexibility to ensure your dog gets all the attention they need When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment. I strictly follow your house rules and feeding schedules, ensure all doors and backyard gates are securely locked, and provide attentive supervision to keep your dog safe and comfortable at all times.

“Deanna was amazing! Very thorough, great communication with photos/videos/updates, and our usually shy cats warmed up to her right away. We felt totally at ease knowing that they were in good hands and will absolutely book her again.”

Zoe W.

“Marilyn is fantastic with our fur babies. She is prompt and very detailed in her visit communications. On the second visit, she even won over our Maltese—that has never happened!”

Allison W.

“Gina is amazing!! I cannot say enough positive things. Our wild little kitten had just gotten his cast off after recovering from a bad broken leg and was barely putting weight on it. I was in a panic having to leave town unexpectedly and she put my mind at ease and took care of him like her own. She gave him his meds, spoon fed him his food as he was struggling to eat in his cone and kept him out of trouble, which isn’t an easy task. Gina truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”

“Katelyn was great with Tanner!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From hamsters to dogs, cats, and everything in between, caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about. I’ve spent the past 7 years in the veterinary field, gaining valuable hands on experience with animal handling, understanding pet behavior, and recognizing changes in an animal’s health and wellness. Becoming a veterinary assistant has given me an even deeper appreciation for providing compassionate, attentive care to every animal. Whether your kiddo is a playful puppy, a laid back senior, a cuddly cat, or a pet with more complex medical needs, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve! I’m comfortable administering medications and injections within my training and experience, following established care routines, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall wellbeing. At home, I’m a pet parent myself! I currently have 2 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny, and MANY snails. Needless to say, animals are a huge part of my world! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated throughout our time together. If I notice anything unusual, you’ll hear from me promptly. <3 I currently work at a local veterinary clinic, so my schedule can vary from week to week. While I stay pretty busy, I do my best to accommodate pet parents and their schedules whenever possible! I’ve been pet sitting since late 2023 and have genuinely enjoyed every second of it. It’s something I love doing outside of my work at the clinic, and I always look forward to meeting new furry (and sometimes not-so-furry!) friends. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always do my best to keep you updated about my availability and coordinate a schedule that works for everyone. I’m always happy to fit in some extra cuddle time when I can! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats of my own, and while my dogs enjoy the company of other pups, I understand that every animal has their own personality and comfort level. I always prioritize proper introductions and will never force interactions between animals. For boarding and daycare, I have baby gates and separate spaces available to help keep everyone comfortable and safe when needed. While I no longer have a large fenced-in yard, I do have a spacious basement that offers additional indoor room to stretch their legs and play! For drop-in visits, I strive to spend quality time with your pets rather than simply stopping by to take care of the basics. I know how much they can miss their people, and I’m happy to provide extra attention, playtime, and companionship. I want both you AND your kiddo to feel comfortable while you’re away! Please tell me about their routines, personalities, preferences, and any special needs they may have. I’m always happy to accommodate their individual needs and make their time with me as enjoyable as possible.

“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”

“Gary took wonderful care of our sweet boy, Jerry, while we were on vacation. We could really enjoy our time away knowing Jerry was in such great hands.”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of Oscar while I was on my trip! She was reliable, timely, attentive, and communicated very well with me. She was very patient getting to know Oscar while he warmed to her, and the next thing I know she was sending pictures with Oscar sitting on her lap. :) A great first experience with Rover, and I'm sure Oscar is looking forward to seeing Chelsea again in the not so distant future!”

David S.

“Regan was great! She is very consistent and gives thorough updates. Would definitely reach out to her in the future for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!

“One of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had! Mirelsa loves our pups like they are her own and sends so many great pictures and updates! You will feel so at ease while you are away, knowing your pet/s are in the BEST hands! Couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️”
