Dog Walking Harrisburg

“Lauren was an absolute lifesaver. She accepted my booking on very short notice and was at my house within 15 minutes, which I truly appreciated more than I can say. She was prompt, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands, especially in a last minute situation. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for years and have worked at multiple dog boarding/daycare facilities. I have had e-collar and dog behavior training, I am also dog/cat CPR and first aide certified through PetTech. I currently work a full time job at a dog daycare and boarding facility and want to use my experience to be of more help to pet parents. In clients homes and out for walks I strive to give dogs the best care I can provide and stay in communication with parents to the best of my ability.

About: I have lots of experience with taking care of both cats and dogs and have been taking care of them for most of my life. I currently am a foster through the humane society and specialize in kittens and dogs. I have lots of experience in all life stages and understand the complexity that comes with each stage. I have a fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to play in and work from home which allows me to spend extra time with them. I currently work from home which allows me the flexibility of creating my own schedule. I am able to fit in pet care whenever throughout the week and I am able to plan accordingly around my work. I currently have a fenced in back yard that will allow the dogs to run freely without being on a lead. For my older cat clients I offer a litter box upstairs which would eliminate them from going up and down stairs as frequently. I also take my safety seriously and when walking dogs always have my cell phone readily available as well as leashed walks always.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and responsible dog lover who would be happy to give your pup the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always take the time to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a relaxing stroll, or a longer walk to burn off some energy, I’m happy to help! I’m organized and dependable, and I make sure to set aside enough time for each pet rather than rushing through visits. I’m also happy to work with different schedules and routines, whether your dog needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, or some extra attention while you’re away. I love being able to provide pets with exercise, companionship, and care while giving their owners peace of mind. 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their family is away. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’ll keep your home clean and your pet safe, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤️

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, and I have three dogs of my own now. My experience includes puppy care, senior dog care, and every day care needs. Here me help make your day easier! I typically work nights as a bartender, so I am available in the daytime between 8am and 4pm. I’m happy to drop in and take care of your pup when your pup needs it most! I am home with my three girls throughout the day, taking care of their needs throughout the day. I’m happy to take some time to extend the same care to your pup during your busy work day!

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.

About: I grew up with great danes and newfoundlands so I'm not afraid of big dogs. Currently have three pups of my own that are spoiled to the ends of the Earth. I understand that our pets can essentially be your "fur child". No judgement. My dogs did have serious separation anxiety when I first got then so I do have experience with that. I'm available all day in case your dog needs a walk or some love while you are at work! I'm also available on the weekends in the case that you are wanting to get out of town, have date night, or are working. If medication is needed to be administered that is something that I would be willing to do, as long as shown how to prior. Currently focusing on my daughter and have the free time to help others and their family pets. Taking care of animals is always something I enjoy. In clients home I will do whatever is requested. I would be happy to send photos, provide videos, or anything else that puts you at peace.

About: Need a great dog sitter or dog walker? Look no further! Send me a message :). I’m willing to do long or short term dog sits in the comfort of your dog’s home. I’ve previously volunteered at animal rescue sanctuaries in Hawaii, Ireland, and the Philippines because I really have a passion for animals. Cats, dogs, horses, you name it- if it’s an animal, I love it haha. I’m currently living in Harrisburg, South Dakota and am looking forward to spending time with your precious pet(s)! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 5 years old. (I have a couple photos uploaded with dogs from I was a kid :) ) My grandma raised dogs so I happily helped out all the time and quickly grew to love dogs. I began my own dog grooming business which I did for a few years, and after that, I dog sat for friends and family. Recently I helped watch a farmers dogs for a month which included walking the 5 of them, feeding them, bathing them, and watering them. I dog sat two French Bulldogs for 2 weeks, everything went great and they loved their walks and bath time. One family actually flies me out to dog sit for them still (for 3 years) since me and their dog are besties and he is aggressive to new people. I’m happy to give you any contact numbers if you’d like to speak with any previous people I’ve dog sat for. I’m very responsible and pay attention to detail to ensure your dog is safe and happy in my care. Send me a message to talk about time/dates but I am pretty flexible :). I am not in school so I’ll have plenty of free time to spend with your dog/cat! What better job than playing with dogs/cats. In my clients home I will be considerate and follow your rules and preferences. I will keep the place tidy and clean and put things back where I found them, such as leash etc. . I’ve volunteered on animal rescue sanctuaries for months with 15+ other volunteers so I know how to be respectful and considerate of other people’s homes.

“Rachel was so wonderful with our boys! We appreciated her taking our request last minute and taking the time to come meet our boys beforehand🥰”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a house with a backyard where I can comfortably host pets and provide a safe, welcoming environment. Dogs have the freedom to enjoy the backyard throughout their stay, giving them space to play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’m also able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m flexible and always prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure their pets receive the care they need.

About: I have been a dog mama for 16 years and a dog rescue volunteer for 10+ years. In the dog rescue world I have fostered pups from puppies 6 weeks old up to 6-8 years old plus. It doesn’t make a difference what age they are, they will always be a puppy at heart and that is why I usually call them pups or puppies. I have fostered medical pups, I also had a pup of my own that was diabetic so I have had to administer insulin besides regular medications. I am good to administer any medications. I also transport for the rescue. I have been one of the main transporters for the last five years. The rescue I volunteer with accepts all breeds. So, I have had the pleasure of working with many breeds through fostering, transporting, meet and greets, fundraising and all the other jobs that we have with the rescue. It has been a privilege and honor to volunteer to help these pups. It is more like a passion some days. As for my own pups/pack, I currently have three medium to large pups. I have had 2 dashies or as most people call them doxies that were rescue pups and they lived great long lives to 14 and 15 years old. Plus I had an American Bulldog who loved life and lived to the age of nine (that darn cancer word.) My current pups are a boxer (age 8), shepherd/Husky mix (age 7), and as I call him a my Heinz 57 mix ( he has 5 breeds that make up his DNA - that is what the DNA test showed and he just turned 4 years old.) My shep/husky is the queen bee/leader of the pack (it is that husky in her) and the other two are sweethearts that are foodies all the way. Both my shepherd/Husky and my Heinz 57 pups are rescue pups that I fostered, adopted, and trained. My boxer was a re-homing situation due to having to downsize. One thing when you foster from your own home, all the foster pups are treated like one of your own pups/like family until they are adopted. So, if they are puppies they are potty trained to go outside, kennel trained, leash trained, and etc. Actually, we make sure all our pups that are adopted are kennel trained, leash trained for walks, potty trained to go outside and etc. as some of the pups we get come from commercial breeders. We just make sure they all know these things. One other note from me is some days I find it easier to just hang out with the pups than to try and communicate/socialize with people. What’s that saying they have “I’d rather be with my dog!” I work a full-time job but I will be able to check on your pup in the morning if needed and/or at my lunch hour and in the evening. We will work out a plan for a schedule. My employer/manager is very flexible and understanding. It will depend on which service(s) the client has selected; we will meet and work out a plan for the type of service(s) that is needed for your pup(s). Depending on if it is drop in care or dog walking, they are two very different services or both.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since the age of 10. Family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for short and long periods of time. I work a part time job while taking college classes at USD. I still find time in my day to play with and care for the animals I’m trusted with. I have a crate for dogs or a comfy bed for them to sleep on. I don’t have a fenced yard but do have a long chain dogs can use on the side of the house.

“Amazing! Took Liberty to get a pup cup and spent lots of time with her.”

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals… big and small. I grew up on and off a farm, as my dad is a Large / Small animal veterinarian! I’ve always had lots of animals in my home and love taking care of them (and lots of treats)! Also, I do move back to college in August. So Sioux City soon to come :) I’m currently home from college! I am a nursing major at Morningside university in Sioux City. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, and needed a fun summer gig! I can take your animals on long or short walks.. or just out to potty! I also LOVE a good game of fetch or tug! Myself at home I have 2 wild dogs that always need to move around ;)

About: Hi! I’m Zoe, a reliable and compassionate dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have always had a natural connection with them—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I genuinely love being active, so long walks, playtime, and getting outside with your dog are something I look forward to. Whether your pup is big, small, shy, or full of energy, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m also a registered nurse, which means I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable handling a wide range of needs—including giving medications or caring for older dogs who may need extra support. My background caring for both patients and my own grandparents has shaped me into someone who is patient, observant, and dependable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule as a nurse. On my days off, I have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. On workdays, I’m still able to provide consistent care like morning walks/visits, evening check-ins, feeding, and quality time. I’m used to planning my schedule ahead, so I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care and isn’t rushed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior changes. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during visits and walks. With my nursing background, I’m observant, responsible, and quick to respond if anything seems off, so your pet is always in safe, trustworthy hands.

About: Hello I’m Kayla! I am currently a small business owner. I am a proud owner of a corgi blue heeler mix, and a GSP blue heeler mix. (Fun right?!) I’m obsessed with idea of having my fun part-time job be watching dogs! Some of my favorite things to do with my doggo are going to the dog park to play, and going on long walks. In my free time I volunteer at the humane society, and take the dogs on walks. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my bio to get to know me better, and I hope I can spoil your dog as much as I do mine! Bella and I can’t wait to meet you, and your little nugget! As someone who has two dogs myself I understand how important it is to make sure dogs are handled with extreme care, and that they need to stick to their normal routine. I am great at making my schedule work around theirs. We offer a separate doggie room where your pups will stay and is set up for them to be cozy. We also have a dog park right outside in out backyard!

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.
