Pet Sitting in Harrisburg

About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal care and attention I give to each pet I look after. Even though I’m fairly new to professional pet-sitting, I’ve already built great connections with the pets and families I’ve worked with. I take the time to learn each animal’s routine, personality, and quirks so they feel comfortable and cared for while their people are away As a high school teacher, I’m naturally organized, dependable, and used to managing busy schedules - which makes pet care a seamless and rewarding part of my routine. I typically pet-sit on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks, but I’m also available for morning, evening, and overnight visits during the school year. Caring for animals is a wonderful balance to my teaching job; it gives me a chance to slow down, connect with pets, and enjoy quieter moments in my day. Whether it’s early morning feedings or evening playtime, I’m always happy to work pet care into my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, favorite activities, and little quirks so they feel comfortable while their family is away. Whether it’s regular feedings, playtime, medication, or just quiet companionship, I’m there to provide the care and attention they’re used to. I also make sure to keep the home clean, safe, and tidy — including bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining a secure, lived-in feel. I believe pets do best in their own space with someone who treats them like family, and that’s the kind of care I strive to provide with every stay.

About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I am an EMT-b and am working on my RBT certification, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

“Hannah was excellent with our big old coonhound Al. He cut his foot accidentally and she quickly called me and administered first aid for him! She was prompt and efficient. She also gave him his daily insulin injections with no trouble. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have two small dogs who are my world. I love all types of pets, but can make room in my schedule and heart to take care of your dogs and cats. I will board dogs, but can only stop in and check on your cats. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play. I will keep all pets separated for a more stress-free experience.

“Very pleased with Courtney, who cared for my cat for a week.”

About: Since being on this app I have taken care of blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs from all ages. I have delivered shots and oral medications. I have a very flexible availability, especially during the summers. During my time off I spend most of my time outside exploring the great outdoors! I have a securely fenced-in yard, and my resident bernedoodle is eager to make new friends (please note: your dog must be dog-friendly and comfortable around people). As someone who loves to jog and hike in nature, I can promise an enriching environment. Whether they require special care or simply need a fun adventure, I'm here to accommodate your requests. I look forwards to providing your pet with a fun and memorable stay!

About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in the veterinary field for about 10 years. I have owned animals of my own since I was a small child. I aspire one day to become a certified dog trainer. I have pet sit everything from cats and dogs to goats and sheep. I do work full time but my father lets the dogs out at lunch time. I’m home by 5:30 so if it’s at my house it will be able to play from when I get home until the next morning. If the pet is not staying with me I will go before and after work and stay over if need be. My pets are extremely well cared for. Up to date on all vaccinations and flea medications. They all get plenty of exercise and have free range of the house when someone is home. They sleep in bed with me at night. I have a large fenced in yard for them to play. They are crated when someone is not home for their safety and to keep them out of trouble.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

“Allison was amazing! Literally the best experience we have ever had with a pet sitter. She sent awesome photos every day that made us laugh, and she went the extra mile to take care of our dog. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Heather did great with JT. I could tell he enjoyed her company. He appears to be more social which was one of the goals. I like how attentive she was to his needs other than providing him attention and company. She kept up to date with videos and pictures of JT which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. 😊”

Warning: You may come home to your dog wanting to go home with me. I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is wide open as far as availability is concerned.. If that changes I will communicate it. With that said because of that your dog is more than my job right now. I am laid back but I take the care of your best friend very serious. I try to keep your dog on the same schedule that you keep them on, although they may get longer walks and more belly and shoulder rubs with me.

“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
