Dog Sitting Harrisburg

“Elain arrived promptly for the bathing and grooming appointment for my dog. She was very calm, confident, comfortable and and efficient with the bathing and blow dry. I will definitely continue to have her come regularly to bath and groom my long haired dogs. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely amazing dog walker! She treats my dog like her own, is incredibly kind, and always works with my schedule. I trust her completely to take the best care of my pup, and that peace of mind is priceless.”

About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.

About: Since growing up, I have always lived in a household with at least one pet. Various different types of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and I also had a pet crab I cared for when I was younger. As I grew older I continuously learned to give them care and love, and now my brother often asks me to care for his cat, and others rely on me to care for the animals while on vacation. My schedule is mainly flexible to take care of your furry ones. I am a college student, and starting in August. I will still have plenty of time to take care of pets during the college season as well! I make sure it’s a clean, and a comfortable environment for the animal(s). They are always fed, hydrated, given affection, looked after, and the environment they are in is clean and safe!

“Mikayla was so great with our cats, even when they got into trouble and made a mess. She sent us great photos and I'm confident that our cats were well cared for while we were gone!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and love them to death! I enjoy caring for animals or even just keeping them entertained while their humans are away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work in healthcare, so I value responsibility, reliability, and keeping a consistent schedule. On my days off and outside of work hours, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks.I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed when needed, and make sure doors and gates are always properly closed. I also believe communication is very important, so I am happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they are away.

“Jaden did a wonderful job ensuring we were updated and she was very kind and thoughtful making sure Witten was at ease and happy! We appreciate the wonderful care provided.”

Kim M.

“Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!”

Sara A.

“Jamie does a fantastic job with our dogs, Ramzi and Cece! She genuinely enjoys spending time with them and always lets us know how the visit went.”

“Reliable and easy to work with!”

I love animals and would like to make your life a little easier by talking care of your animal…long or short walk…I’m available! I am a full time nurse but have my evenings free. I am also available weekends. I Love animals and looking to fill my time. I would walk or run with your dog on a leash. If you would like I could take them to a park to run also.

About: I’ve owned large dog breeds and am very comfortable with big personalities and lots of energy. I’m confident handling larger dogs, but I truly love pups of all sizes. I’ll make sure your dog gets attention, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while you’re away. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I genuinely love getting to spend time with others! I work full-time during the week, so I offer drop-ins in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m careful not to overbook myself so every pet gets the time and attention they deserve. My weekends are very flexible, and weekday visits are worked into a consistent routine. I’ll stick closely to your pet’s routine and instructions to keep things calm and consistent. I’ll make sure they have water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is secure before I leave, and I’ll send updates and photos so you have peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter/dog walker, and I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve taken care of various types of animals since I was little! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or calm in-home care while you’re away, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including strong pullers and shy or anxious pups. I currently work full time, but usually I have a day or two off during the week and most weekends off. I will be able to provide care for your pet before or after the days I work, or most days/weekends that I am off. My townhome community has small grassy backyard patio areas and a dog park less than 100 feet away from my home, and I have one 3 year old pup named Tank (white shepherd/lab mix) who would love to become best friends with your pup!

“We have been taking our large doodle to Amber since we moved to South Dakota from out of town. Our pup always comes home exhausted, a certain sign at a good time! We love Amber and her family, they treat our dog like he’s theirs. Thank you so much Amber! See you next time!”

“She’s the best! We love getting pictures when we’re away from home. We can tell the pups love her!”

About: I've grown up basically my whole life taking care of family dogs and hanging out with neighbors and friends dogs. About 3 years ago I finally got my own dog, Mowgli, and we both love meeting new furry friends! We love going for long walks, playing catch and cooking together. I work full time but have a flex schedule, so when I don't have meetings scheduled at the office I work from home. If I am working at the office I always take the dogs on long walks in the morning and then come home during lunch to go for a quick walk and then another long walk after work. However, when dog sitting I tend to work from home during those days :) I tend to leave the water bowl always full for the dogs whenever they feel thirsty and then have a schedule of feeding them 3 times a day (with a couple treats here and there). I love just chilling with the dogs - especially outside when the weather is nice to get some vitamin D. Again, absolutely LOVE going on walks so there will be plenty of those :)

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Thank you Candace! This is the first time I have left my cat and I was really nervous. Candace did a great job of not only taking care of my creature, but if calming my nervousness as well. I highly recommend her.”
