Dog Walking Gettysburg

About: I own 2 huskies. I've volunteered with a dog rescue for 10 years fostering all types of dogs... 50 of them in fact. My husband and I have firefighter/EMT schedules so we're often home during the day, and handle emergencies well. We have an irregular schedule in my house. You will have to check my calendar for availability. We are often home during the week and daytime. My care for my dogs and foster dogs depend on the dog. My female dog is a princess who sleeps on the couch, but my male needs to be kenneled to keep out of trouble. We have a dog door to allow our dogs freedom to go in and out as they please.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. There has never been a time I can remember without a pet in the picture. Raised with dogs and cats, and now a corgi mom of two, I have 17 years of pet care experience. I'm comfortable giving pills and following medication schedules, and I'm experienced with bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. As a dog mom, I understand how important it is that our fur babies are cared for and never feel left behind, and that's why I promise to love and care for yours like my own. I'm working from home so I have more time for my dogs, and to step in for yours when your travel plans don't allow pets to come along. Your fur baby won't be left alone for long stretches. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time-flexibility to spend time with and play with your pets! I am able to do check-ins in your home every 2-4 hours on week days and spend larger chunks of time with them (or even overnight) on weekends. If overnight is needed on weekdays, I can work that in with notice. I don't board pets in my home. Instead, I offer house and pet sitting so your pet stays comfortable in a familiar space and on their normal routine. Before any booking, I like to schedule a meet and greet so you can meet me, and so your pet and I can become familiar with one another. It also gives me a chance to learn their routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medication schedules, and exercise, and I'll send photo and text updates during every visit. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets and homes for years, and I'm confident I can give you the peace of mind you need when traveling without your fur baby.

“Leilani has quickly become a favorite of ours and clearly our dog, Doc adores her! She’s a great communicator and gets back with us very promptly when we request her help.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've shared a deep connection with animals. I felt like an outcast a lot of my childhood but always felt like I could fully be myself around them. They understood me, and I understood them. Bonding with them has always come so naturally to me. My parents taught me the responsibility and care it takes from a young age. I grew up around many different cats, dogs, and other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I consider the 2 cats I have now, my children, and would actually goto war for them😅 They always get spoiled with treats, cuddles, and different kinds of cat enrichment. Im also experienced with pets who need extra care or are in their older ages. I used to have a persian who was was the runt of the litter. He was sick for his entire 12 years of living and needed more care than a normal cat like extra grooming, medication, vet visits, etc. Ive rescued quite a few kittens and helped nurse them in my lifetime, too! When it comes to dogs, I love to include them in everyday things like car rides, hikes, walks or a trip to Starbucks to get a pup cup! I think theyre all so precious in their own unique ways and get excited to learn their personalities and little quirks. My neighbors, friends, and family quite often have me watch their pets while theyre away. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, but you can be at peace knowing your furbabies will be safe and loved by me as if they are my own. I also love taking pictures so always expect some cute high quality photos of your furbaby while I care for them💖 I am between jobs right now so I have some time to provide full care as needed. Im pretty flexible when it comes to times as well, I can be up early or late and adjust to what the pet owner needs from me 🙂 I KNOW how scary it can be to leave your furbabies life in another person's hands, let alone a stranger. Know that safety and attention to details are top priority for me. I treat humans like id want to be treated and animals like I treat my own😊 I understand the importance of little things like not letting an indoor cat slip out of the door, keeping food out of reach, leash safety when out on walks, reading behavioral signs, etc. You can trust that your animals will be taken care of in the BEST way🤗

About: I have had experience with all types of animals my entire life i grew up taking care of my dog widget since i was 7 me and my dog would go to pet training class as well. As my dog had gotten older me and my family had changed our routine and home life to accommodate to my best buds last days so he would be comfortable. I also grew up pet sitting for my aunt and still do.I have owned cats and dogs as well as some smaller rodents. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule because i currently don’t have work and i am studying to become a tattoo artist my day consists of drawing and studying tattooing. i love to drive around so far drives to pet sit will not bother me what so ever!! I make sure to give your pets a stress free environment and give them cuddles depending on your animals personality!! I always make sure your friends are fed on time and taken on adventures with me on a walk and take them out to potty.

“Kaylee did a great job taking care of Bruce this past weekend! She was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always replied quickly. I felt comfortable knowing Bruce was in good hands. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I love people and their pets! Most of my professional life has been spent in the people-helping field, and I enjoy sharing my love of animals with those I help. I am very proud to have introduced therapy dogs and equine-facilitated therapy to crime survivors in Alachua County, FL! In my free time, I've fostered over 50 dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and even a few rabbits for various local rescues. My specialty has been helping anxious dogs learn to trust people. Positive reinforcement is my go-to method of behavior modification, and I can continue your training regimen with your fur babies while you are out of town. I can provide medications and even farm-sit if you need! I've owned my own horse and have cared for goats, chickens, pot-bellied pigs, and burros. I work full-time in York, PA, so I limit the area where I provide services between York and New Oxford. I stop directly after work (6 pm is quitting time) back at your house, then return to spend the night after feeding my own dog. I provide routine meal times, potty breaks, litter clean-up, medications as needed, treats as positive reinforcement, play time, cuddles, walks and other exercise, and if your pets are used to sleeping in your bed, they are welcome to do the same with me! I do all of this in your home so your best bud doesn't have to stress about too many changes while they are missing you. While Rover's pricing is set up on a per dog fee schedule, I cap charges at $80 per night and $40 per drop in or walk, regardless of the number of pets in your household. In the Rover app, I must modify your booking to be able to do that. I work full-time 9:30am -6pm, Monday -Friday in York, Pa, so I limit my service area during the week to areas between York and New Oxford. I can serve a larger area such as Gettysburg and Dillsburg on weekends. I adhere carefully to client directions about medication, supervision, feeding, and exercise. I want dogs to keep their usual routine as much as possible, and owners to rest assured their treasured pets are cared for as they would. I am a background -checked government employee that prides myself on being dependable and trustworthy. I discuss my scheduling limitations with owners to ensure they are getting a sitter who is the best fit for their pets.

“Good communication. Would highly recommend.”

About: My experience and extensive training sets me apart from other sitters. I know how to handle any situation that may arise. I’m responsible and will follow all instructions to the tee I am retired and available to care for your pets any time any day at your convenience. It will be just like you are there. I have a fenced in yard. And inside the house various gated rooms to separate. At your house I will follow all of your instructions and safety protocols

“Kerri has been getting to know Patches prior to house- and dog-sitting for us for a week in June. Kerri is very responsible, very kind, and wonderful with our dog. Patches is a little skittish, particularly with new people, but he has warmed up to Kerri who plays with him, walks him, and pets him (he loves belly rubs). We feel very comfortable leaving him with Kerri.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.

About: Hi! I’ve had a dog since I was a toddler and I’ve always been fascinated by dogs/pets, and caring for them. I love spending time with them, playing, walking and having fun! I’ve always considered them an extended part of my family, which makes me understand how importante they are in our lives and that they have needs just like everyone does! Part of those needs are caring, helping them keep themselves active, proper feeding and to stay healthy, no matter their age, breed or condition. Time apart from them can be tough, but by showing love and care, I help them to relax, have a good time, and to wait for you to be back with them! 🤗 I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of flexibility, and time to spend with my furry friends 🐶 I also have a car, that lets me move quicker and helps me attend my pet-guests 🥰 I have a large fence backyard and a sweet brown lab named Cocoa, who’s always happy to receive guests! In case our furry friend is not interested in having company, she likes giving them space. There’s plenty of room to keep them separate 🧘🏽

“Chelsea was wonderful! She treated my puppies like they were her own. My border collie was hesitant at first (he always is when he first meets someone) but he warmed up to her very quickly. She sent daily pictures which helped us know our puppies were well taken care of while we were out of town. I've even asked Chelsea to be our go-to sitter and dog walker!”

About: I have experience working and volunteering at several animal shelters and animal wildlife rehabilitation centers. Ask me for my references! I have lived with animals my entire life. I can work with pets of ALL ages, sizes, and temperaments! I am patient, empathetic, consistent, and trustworthy. I can't wait to care for your furbabies! I currently have a flexible schedule so I am openly available! I can do any day of the week, any time of day, and any length of time. I am incredibly neat and mindful. I will care for your home and treat it with as much respect as I do your pets! You can trust that your home and loved ones will be in excellent care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting/farm sitting on a part-time basis for the last five years. This has now become full-time for me, and I really enjoy working with different pets of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. I also am skilled in bathing, cleaning ears, and clipping nails for dogs and cats. Taking care of your pets is my full-time passion. This gives me all the time and the ability to provide individualized care to all animals in the household. I will take care of your pets in your home according to your preferences, while always respecting your personal space and the well-being of your furry companions.

About: I LOVE DOGS!! What more can I say? I have had dogs in my family, of my own and taken care of family dogs practically since I was born. I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes and love all of them, no matter what! I have had experience with special diets, dog walking and even diabetic dogs (using diabetic test strips and glucometer). Sometimes I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer: I can get along with all dogs and read what they need or want. I'm also great at helping dogs to heal or get over their fears! I especially love giving and receiving loves (hugs, kisses and lots of cuddles and petting)! Give me your doggie babies! :D I would love to take care of them!

About: My appreciation and respect for animals started when 1 day my extended family came home with the cutest Pomeranians who then had puppies and then those puppies had pups! They became family and we would babysit each other's fur baby. I loved having a dog because I love being outdoors, running, and exploring. I'm looking forward to making new memories and exploring more beaten paths with your fur baby :) I appreciate all animals, that being said, I've enjoyed the company of some adorable cats. My approach is to give them space and let them come to me when they please. My baby boy, Simba is 7 years old, he is baby friendly, and protective of my girls around strangers, he adores my daughters! He sleeps next to them every night and during the day he follows them around and enjoys watching them play. I love how each animal has a unique personality and you can be sure that I will be attentive to those traits so ensure the best possible care and love for them. I have a flexible schedule working from home for our local family owned Coffee Business. I am happy to accommodate my schedule to your baby’s needs. Life Happens and when you need someone to trust, that’s where I like to fill that need. I am a caregiver at heart and treat every living creature with respect and quality care. I prefer to care for pets in their homes, so they are more comfortable and less anxious. Also, I reside in a small apartment that's not compatible to care for animals besides my 1 cat. In each client's home I am respectful of belongings and careful to keep everything as clean as possible when serving pet's food and water. I'm comfortable changing litter boxes, picking up after dog's stools and discarding appropriately. I am comfortable administering pet's medications as well. I'm more than happy to give your pet an appropriate amount of affection and love because I'm sure they are anxious to see their parents soon. Pets are like family members and will be treated as such, under my care.

About: Hi! ❤️ I’m so excited to meet you and your furry best friends! I know that pets are family and finding someone you can trust to care for them is so important.

Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone by their side, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve!

About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me
