Dog Walking Harrisburg

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. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 5 years old. My grandma raised dogs so I happily helped out all the time and quickly grew to passionately 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 to the beach 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.

About: I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful ones who need socialization and routine to seniors who may require medication, special diets, or extra comfort and attention. I take the time to build trust at each pet’s pace, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care. I’m currently working part time during the summer, and attend college full time. My schedule during the academic year is pretty flexible! I can always work around times. I have my own dog who LOVES to play with others. He goes to doggy daycare almost everyday so he is very social. I also have a cat, who can be social at times but she is usually pretty content with other cats.

About: My husband and I got our own dog, Indie, about 2 years ago! We know how important it is to feel confident and secure in the person who is caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pup like my own and do everything I can to put your mind at ease :) I will have lots of free time to spend with your pup Friday-Monday, in addition to a few random days throughout the week this summer! Reach out with any questions and I’ll hopefully be able to make something work! I live in a townhome that offers a non-fenced in backyard and sidewalks for walking! I have plenty of space for your pet to play. My dog, Indie, will have the best time with your dog :) In your home, I am willing to cater to anything you and your pet are needing!

“Ana is great! She is very reliable and responsive! She does a great job with our dog! He loves the walks!”

“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!”

“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: Ive been pet sitting for numerous years as well as growing up caring for and loving many, many family pets! I throughly enjoy long walks so your pup will have the best care with me. Im here for all the walks, snuggles, and zoomies! My 8 year old daughter is also an animal lover and willing to play and cuddle any and all animals, including reptiles! Im currently working at home part time so I am very available to cuddle your pet, take them on long walks, and get all their zoomies out. As well as pet sitting overnight. My daughter is in the 3rd grade so I need my time taken up while she's at school. I have a small side yard at my town home and a SUV to fit a crate in if need be. I am willing to travel out of town for care and drive farther. I don't mind weird hours just as long as I get a heads up! My daughter is an animal lover so if your pet likes kids it is even better.

About: Hello, my name is Kindra! I got my Bachelors Degree from University of Wisconsin with a major in Wildlife Education. I am on Rover on the side because I love pets. I have cared for many dogs and cats in the past, and I currently have two cats. I have had internship and volunteer positions where I performed animal husbandry to a wide variety of animals, including reptiles and amphibians. I love all sorts of animals and want to work with more in my free time because it's what I love, and most importantly to better my skills with them. Thank you for considering me. I am employed full time, and I do 4 10-hour shifts. So, my availability for pet sitting is on my days off. Feel free to message me to see if I'm available or if you have any questions about my availability. *If your location is outside of my radius, I will charge an extra $5 per day of bookings to account for gas.* I am able to do check-ins and walks to let your pets out and play with them if needed (all animals deserve at least a little play time 😉)! I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells around the neighborhood, and just have some quality petting time!

About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.

“Mattie was great. I am waiting for knee surgery and can't walk my dogs so a friend recommended Rover. I chose Mattie and she came over the same day I booked. She walked my dogs and I was able to bicycle along with them and we had a very nice time. I highly recommend her! Thanks Mattie :)”

“Thank you Melisa for communicating with me, taking baby hankie for a quick walk when I was at work!! I hope we can work again in the future!!”

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: Hey! I’m Jada, all my life i’ve always been surrounded by animals 🐶 Taking the best care of pets is something i strive each day to accomplish! I’m very familiar with dogs & cats of all ages! In 2024 I began working in the dog training industry and have come to learn many interesting skills, some of those include; how to effectively communicate with animals, properly read body language, and build a connection with any pet! Currently, i’m working part time as an accredited dog trainer at Petsmart! I’ve been at this establishment, building my credibility and skills, for 2+ years! Properly reading a pets body language is something i’ve always been good at! Making sure to always respect a pets boundaries is very important in terms of building a successful, positive, and welcoming relationship between the pet and I. As a dog trainer, i acknowledge the important of mental stimulation, and physical stimulation that all dogs require in order to live a happy and healthy life, I also understand that life can be busy! Making it hard to find those little in - between moments to give your pet that little extra loving you know they need! That’s where I step in…and lend a paw 🐾😉!

“I’ve asked Lori to walk my dog twice now and she’s been great to my dog! Clearly always excited to see him”

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: 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.

“Very helpful and accommodating (even when our dog wasn’t!). Highly recommend Samantha!”
