Pet Boarding Harrisburg

About: I've taken care or have owned dogs my entire life. Last August, we lost our best friend, Nala, too soon. She was a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) and at the age of 5 was impacted by a very rare auto-immune disease especially for her breed. This was a tragic loss for my family and I and at this moment owning/adopting another dog would be hard. We don't want to ever experience that kind of pain. Having said that, we have so much love for animals and would be grateful to take care of your dog/cat as one of our own. Would prefer to pet sit in your home as we have 3 cats. However, boarding at our home is an option. It's mostly just my fiance Ashley and I living in the home as our adult boys are away at college. Please consider us for all of you pat care needs. Thank you! Working full-time but have a hybrid schedule. In the office 3 days a week but can be flexible. Available weekends and holidays for overnight boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park nearby. I also walk/run several miles a day. We live in a 3-level condo with plenty of room for zoomies.

“Diba and her roommates are wonderful people. My baby Spunkie is always so happy and excited to see them and even more happy to see me when it’s pick up time. I can trust them all with my baby”

“Diana was outstanding to work with. We have a 10 week old Rottweiler who is a handful and we were leaving her for the first time since adopting her. Diana was great with communication, updates and plenty of pictures. Great overall experience from start to finish.”

“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”

About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!

“As usual, I had no worries leaving Arnold with Courtney and family. They treat her like their own and Arnold has a great time wrestling with her pals. Great home, great family.”

About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.

“Angela and her family were terrific! We were stopping in Mechanicsburg for a couple of days during our relocation from RI to LA. She welcomed us and was very conscientious about our lab feeling comfortable in her surroundings. She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and made sure our lab had plenty of exercise to offset the hours she would be spending in the car. I would highly recommend Angela and would absolutely use her again!! :)”

“I was slightly (inconsolably) worried when I dropped off my five year old, anxious, rescue dog for her first boarding with strangers. However, the daily updates and pictures did much to ease my nerves. If I were ever in the area again, I would definitely look them back up.”

“Christine treats Franklin as if he were her own dog! We know Franklin is in good hands and when we pick him up, he doesn’t want to leave. Thank you, Christine, for taking such good care of Frank the Tank!”

About: People have always told me that I am comparable caring even to pets. They deserve every bit of kindness just like people! A safe and reliable environment at your home! I am able to walk and feed the animals before I go to work and after I come home. As well as having off on Monday& Tuesdays. I can walk and feed your pets in the morning, throughout the day when I’m off I can show them the attention and love they need. I will make sure they always have fresh food&water. As well as making them feel at home when They are away!

“Alexis was awesome. Sugar often gets anxious when we are away. She made special meals for Sugar when she would not eat. Sugar was happy and pooped out from playing with kids when we picked her up.”

“Amazing sitter ! My boys looked happy and spoiled with love! Got updates everyday, communication was great! Would definitely recommend and leave my dogs with them again ❤️”

“Bizu had a wonderful time at Dava’s. Daily pictures or videos made our days out even smoother. He was treated like a member of the family. Thanks!”

About: I have experience working for a brick & mortar dog-walking agency, where I had a regular route of 4+ dogs per day. I have successfully dealt with problem behaviors (nipping, barking, pulling), and became an expert poop-picker-upper. I will do daily drop-ins or short-term stays at my home while you are on vacation. I have a regular job, so I am not available for indefinite bookings. I will care for pets in my home, subject to making sure they will be able to get along with my dog and three cats. My fence is also rather low and may not be suitable for some dogs. Please contact me to discuss further and/or do a free trial visit.

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.

“Very accommodating to my pet. Willing to take him even though he’s not neutered. Separate him from the other animals and offer to spend time with him inside as well. They sent me an update and the boy was smiling big time! Very easy with my updated schedule changes before drop off.”

“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”

“Cindy and her husband are very welcoming and warm, their property is perfect for dogs! Cindy stayed in touch the entire time we were away, keeping us up to date on how the days went, which was so sweet and reinsured us that our puppy is well taken care of and happy.”

About: I truly believe that pets are part of the family and am here to treat yours as my own. I am the first person my friends turn to when they need a sitter, and have both hosted dogs in my house and stayed with them in their own. I also enjoy pet visits and walks! I work as a teacher, so most of my availability is on the weekend and during summer months, although I am available for evening visits or walks during the week. I have a large fenced in yard that is great for running and playing and live in a neighborhood ideal for walks. I have a large crate available, if your dog’s routine includes crating. My own golden retriever would love to be friends with and keep your pet company! While I allow pets on my furniture and beds, I will follow the rules established for your pet. Your pet will receive plenty of love and attention!
