Dog Sitting Harpers Ferry

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.

About: I have experience with pet sitting throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. I'd say I have a deep caring nature when it comes to all living things from puppies, cats, dogs big and small, turtles, fish, hamsters, plants, you name it! I I've had many people rely on me to take care of their pets with no complaints and I hope to also be that person for you! I am currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends/family! My schedule varies from Monday to Friday. On days I work, I am available any time after 5pm and on days I don't work, I am available any time during the day and night. I am willing to work weekends as well knowing that for many people it is the prime time for short trips away from home. I have experience with house and pet sitting throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. Guiding and helping others is something I truly value within myself and I can guarantee that I am trustworthy when it comes to ensuring your pets are taken care of, knowing they have a non-so-furry friendly guest coming to look after them!

About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 10, but have helped friends and family with their own furry friends! I have experience administering medicine, giving love to animals, and teaching basic training like sit and lay down. I’m a senior in college, so my schedule can vary week to week, but I always make time to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! I’m very respectful of others’ spaces—keeping things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I always follow instructions closely and make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for! If I am house sitting, I can clean, do laundry, do the dishes, etc.

About: Dogs have been an integral component of my family since my early childhood. We have consistently taken in puppies and dedicated our time and effort to training them into well-behaved companions. From fundamental obedience training to advanced commands, I have accumulated extensive experience in assisting my family with their dog training and care. I firmly believe that dogs are integral members of the family and should be cherished and provided with daily love and attention. My passion for dogs extends to offering reliable and trustworthy dog walking services. I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate your needs. Currently, I am a homemaker, which would allow me ample time to walk your fur babies. My schedule permits walks or drop-in visits between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays. Rest assured that I will treat your fur babies as my own. From leisurely walks to outdoor play, refreshing water breaks, and delectable treats, your furry friends will undoubtedly receive the utmost care and attention. Trust me, your pups will wag their tails with joy!

“Jeannine gave me the peace of mind to be out of town without having to worry about my puppy. She made sure he went out on a potty breaks each time as requested and made sure he got playtime and some loving too. ?”

About: Our little family (Nathan, Kelly, and our kids) are raising Huck, a 1 year old Yellow Lab. We’ve trained him and are found walking around town with him often. As dog owners, we know how much it means to us when someone we trust is able to watch our dog. Now we want to give the same option to other pet owners. While most of our experience is with dogs, my wife can also cat sit and we also have had a fish in recent years. We are laid back, but also have some active hobbies, such as hiking, kayaking and traveling. We would love to hang out, walk, play, and feed your pup in the comfort of his or her home, or welcome him or her to ours. In addition to Huck, Kelly and I rescued a reactive dog with separation anxiety and had him for several years. I grew up with a mini-Pom and also helped raise a golden retriever from a puppy. We also have many friends with dogs and sit for them frequently. We are very comfortable administering oral medication but since we will be bringing the dog around our family, the dog should not be aggressive or reactive. We are at home most days and we homeschool and work from home for several days throughout the week. We are happy to work with your schedule to support your pet. We love to play with dogs. Our kids have been around dogs since they were very young and love cats as well, although we don’t have one.

“When we arrived after our five day trip, we encountered our two furbabies freshly woken from a nap, without a care in the world, as if they also had taken a vacation! Wordda made sure our boys were looked after and satisfied. Thank you for everything! <3”

“Erika has been fantastic and I asked that she continue to drop on daily while we are at work. Baxter loves her visits! Thank you Erika!!”

About: Ever since I was around ten years old I was the neighborhood’s go-to guy for any kind of pet care they needed while away. I’ve had multiple pets in my lifetime and have developed the skills I need to create a bond with any animal I meet. I’m currently available anytime you might need pet care. I’m happy to check up on your pets early in the morning as well as very late depending on your needs. I make sure to be very respectful of peoples homes and try to keep everything neat and as I found it. I like to play with pets where they are comfortable in their own space.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of many different kinds of animals. I also used to work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I was laid off recently, so my schedule is very open for right now. I wouldn’t have a huge issue fitting it into my schedule. I’ve cared for many pets at once so taking dogs out separately, crating them at night or feeding them differently and separating them is no issue. I can accommodate most requests.

“Shannon was great in taking care of Kevlar and Shady, we will definitely use her again when needed and recommend her to anyone who needs a furbaby sitter”

Todd N.

“5 stars. Shannon was fantastic and flexible. Will definitely use her again. Our babies were well cared for. One even just had surgery before we left. So glad to have found this service as an alternative to kenneling them. Happy to be a reference.”
