Pet Sitting in Howard

“Kelly did an amazing job with our cat Milo while we were on vacation. Kelly kept us very informed on how our cat was doing and gave us great pictures. Our cat warmed up to her quickly. It was nice knowing our cat was being cared for so well. I would definitely recommend Kelly and will use her again when we go out of town.”

About: As a child, my family had a Maltese since he was a puppy and he lived until the age of 15 years old. His life expectancy was around 7 years old, so he was a senior dog. I learned how to take care of my dog at a young age and was responsible for taking care of him. Now, my parents and I have a puppy named Shylo Esch. He is a mix of Bernese mountain dog and mini poodle. I have attended puppy class with him at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I also frequently walk my family friend's dog who is a Labrador retriever. I grew up around dogs and learning to and caring for them, i have a deep love for taking care of dogs. I have a part time job I currently work around 20 hours per week, my shifts are short around 4-6 hours. I am currently taking a break from college classes, I used to attend PSU. I have various appointments scheduled in advance throughout the week. I make plans with friends and family whenever I have time to see them around my schedule. My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from puppy training class he attended & graduated from. We leash him for outdoor walks. However his best friends, Lola & Mocha, and sister, Maisie, are the only dogs so far we let play time off leash in our yard together. I am very caring for dogs and I also am trained by attending a puppy training class on how to do obedience and tricks. This was from Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I hold myself to a very strong work ethic and compassionate stance when dealing with fur babies and elderly dogs. In my clients home, I follow their rules and duties. I set up a meet n' greet with the dog and owner before committing. I like to meet the dog and see if we are a good fit by playing with the dog or taking them on a walk with the owner around their usual route. I ask various questions about how the owner takes care of the dog, so I can best follow their lead. I ask about daily routine activities, food schedule, treat frequency, walking time, habits, likes, dislikes, etc. I prefer to follow the daily routine and activities that the dog is used to in order to keep them on track.

About: I've been dog sitting for the past 6 years. It started off by my old boss asking me to dog sit for him while he and his family went on vacation, and it now I have 15+ families that ask me to dog sit for them. I watch all sorts of dogs, from 10 pounds all the way up to 100+ pounds. When I dog sit, I normally stay in the clients' home. I currently work full for a healthcare system and my hours are 730A-4P. I am mostly remote so I am able to stay with the dogs most of the time. I do work on-site every 5th week, so those weeks I will have to leave around 7A and won't get home until closer to 430P. I am a huge dog lover.. most people say I'm the dog whisperer. When I am with them, I am constantly playing with them or snuggling up on the couch. If it's nice outside, we will go outside and play or go for walks.

About: I am a life-long pet owner and lover who approaches pet care with organization, care, and empathy. I would be so happy to bring some extra joy and fun into your pets' lives! I am able to provide overnight care and walking services over the weekends, and have evening availability during the weekdays. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with you to support what is best for your pet! I am here to provide a caring and fun visit to your fur babies. I would love to take them on walks, play and fetch, and provide lots of snuggles. I also have experience giving a wide variety of medications to pets, as well as supporting crate training.

“Sara was wonderful!! We had to book her fairly last minute. She came right away to meet the dogs and kept me up to date on the visits.”

About: I've been looking after animals since I was young. I've always been around them and taught how to properly care for them. I've been trusted to watch neighbors, friends, and family pets while they were away. I know how to care for really young pups to senior dogs who need medications and a higher level of love and attention than other dogs. As well as everything in between. I love animals and making them/seeing them happy makes me happy as well. I’m currently working part time from 10-4 Monday-Thursday so I still have lots of time to engage with and care for my own animals as well as others! I have a large yard for your pup to run around and my own pup to keep company. We often go for walks/hikes/bike rides and if the weather is nice we go for swims in a local river and lake! We can be very active and also sleep most of the day away! All depends on pups energy and comfort levels. Everything I do is based around my dog (and the other pups) comfort level and energy level. I have long leashes (70ft) for fun time outside if your pup cant be offleash.

“Lexi did a WONDERFUL job with my disabled dog Samantha. She went way above and did several things she was not expecting. She helped with giving fluids to another of my dogs Lucy, and she helped take Samantha to the vet twice! The dogs loved her and she was of invaluable help to my disabled boyfriend who was home with them while I was away. I'll definitely book her again!”

About: Hi. I am Derya and I have a dog named Shenai. I have to mention that he is our activity coordinator. He welcomes the guest puppies with super fast tail wagging. He is very friendly and likes to share his toys with them. He plans the walks and indoor activities. He likes to show them the spring creek and many different trails nearby our house. I have full time job, I still make sure that your puppies will get plenty of walk and indoor activities during their stay. Shenai loves to play. When we have guest puppies my house turns to big playground for them. We have a big back yard and a lot of trails nearby our house. I can give oral medications if it is needed and Crete your puppies if it is their regular routine.

“Mackenzie was attentive and sent lots of pictures while we were gone! Many thanks.”

About: I have had pets almost my whole life and love having dogs. I enjoy their company, seeing them happy, taking care of them, and playing with them. I take good care of my pets and make sure they are up to date on shots and vaccines, have food and clean water everyday, and have room outside to use the bathroom and run and play. I also make sure they are safe, happy, and get the exercise they need. I also like to spoil them with treats and lots of toys! I have trained my dogs to sit. I’m currently teaching my puppy to shake. I work full time during the day but am home in the evenings and weekends with my dog. I play with him outside and take him for walks. He stays in a crate during the day due to still being a puppy, but I try to have him out of his crate as much as possible. He is spoiled with treats, toys, and lots of love. He sleeps in bed with me at night and is allowed to be on the couch. He is part of the family! I currently have a male puppy (American Bulldog mix) that is very friendly. He loves people and dogs. I’m not sure how he is around cats. He doesn’t seem to pay attention to them but I’m sure he’d be fine around them. I have a fenced in backyard where he is able to run and play. He is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in bed with me at night. He is crated during the day when I’m not home due to still being a puppy. He is given a bath every week to every other week usually and is spoiled with love, treats, toys, and meeting other people.
