Dog Sitting in Hummelstown

“Tina took great care of our sweet kitties while we were away. She sent us thorough updates with each visit, and we loved all the pictures too!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 10 years doing anything from drop in visits to walks and I’ve grown up with dogs so very comfortable around them. I am a PT student looking for a little extra income and have grown up around dogs. My siblings and I created a dog sitting & babysitting business in 2014 “triple trio services”. My availability Monday-Thursday is 6-7am and time after 4:30pm. Friday-Sunday I have more flexible availability throughout the day. I am available for stop in visits and dog walking services. I am willing to do anything from feed dogs, play with them, and take them for walks.

“Pleasant, did detailed check-ins with pictures which I appreciated, and took good care of my boy while we were out of state. Thank you Sadie!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I know a lot about body language, feeding routines, and behavior. I have no issues with any pets, as long as they don't bite! I work a full time job as a barista, but I want to incorporate my pet care calling into my life, so I decided to pick this up as a part time! I don't allow pets into my own house, as I have a little sister who is very rough with animal, just to keep them safe. But caring for your animal, depending on dog or cat, I will have them leashed outside when walking, and monitor when outside in a fenced in yard, or given treats!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“This was our second time having Veronica watch our cats and she again did a great job. We have a new kitten and she needed extra attention, Veronica was super accommodating and went the extra mile for our cats!”

About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.

“Abby is awesome! She had some big shoes to fill since we had such great sitters in Baltimore, and so far she has proven herself to be warm and reliable. Bruno has warmed up to her and she stays in contact to be sure she is doing what she needs to to keep him happy and healthy.”

“Grace was nothing short of amazing with our pups! Typically we board them, which they hate. We figured they would be more comfortable in their own home. We knew as soon as we met Grace that our dogs would be in good hands. At the initial meeting she asked questions and took thorough notes. When it came time to care for our dogs, she exceeded our expectations! Our one dog is very anxious but Grace was quickly able to win him over. Grace was always on time, provided an update on how the visit went, and sent multiple pictures of our dogs. This gave us a lot of comfort that they were doing ok in our absence! Grace is very reliable and we would not hesitate to use her again! If you are looking for someone to take care of your animals, I would highly recommend Grace!”

About: Hi, I’m Linda — a lifelong animal lover who has lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for over 30 years, sharing my home with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am.

I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on safety — especially with large or powerful breeds. I love learning each dog’s quirks, favorite routes, and what makes them feel secure and happy. My goal is simple: you feel at ease, and your dog feels loved, understood, and excited for their next walk. I’m available for evening walks during the week and flexible availability on weekends.

“Casey helped me out last minute to check in on our dogs while we were gone for a day. She was very kind and I felt took great care of the dogs. She had good communication which put my mind at ease about the visits. I would recommend her and would rebook with her again!”

About: All my friends always joked that my house was the zoo. Among fish, hamsters, birds and bunnies we always have had dogs as part of that zoo. I seem to have a natural kinship with animals and seem to be making friends with the dog at the party before the host. But, I can't imagine life any other way. Assisting with rescue transports has also given me experience in handling scared and skittish animals. It is always funny when walking a dog you don't know the owner's name but identify them as "Jack's Mom" I can't wait to care for your dog as my own. I also look forward to helping your pet feel loved and have some extra attention during this chaotic thing we call life. My schedule varies depending on time of year. Taking care of pets is a happy getaway from everyday life. I like to think they bring me more joy but I see how excited they are when I arrive <3 It all depends on the pet's needs and the client's requests too. I communicate my schedule and the pets schedule all the time when needed.

“Raya is amazing!!! She went above and beyond to take care of Oliver and Mo while I was gone! She gave them spa treatments, took them on walks, kept the house clean, and helped my pup overcome some fears of the nail clipper! She provided excellent updates and adorable pics of her cuddling my boys- they clearly loved her!! I would absolutely recommend Raya to anyone! ❤️”

About: I've taken care of pets and animals since I was 10, I have a pet grooming certification as well. I've had experience with birds, fish, turtles and tortoises, dogs, cats, geckos, small rodents(guinea pigs, bunnies, mice, rats, ferrets, etc.) I have no issues with needing to give the animal medicine or extra care in any way. I'll be able to visit in the mornings, afternoon, and night Wednesday-Saturday. I can stop by anytime 4a-midnight. I can drop in 1-5 times a day. I have no issues with crating or using a muzzel when needed. I love being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I can't take them on walks but I can play with them in a yard or house.

“Karla is absolutely fantastic! She’s extremely reliable, flexible, and always willing to help on short notice. I never have to worry when she’s caring for my dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”

Kyle B.

“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”

Charles N.

“Quinn was very caring and did her best to make our kitty warm up to her. In the end she was successful. She did a wonderful job of making our kitty happy and fed well communication was great as well”

Susan C.

“Clara has helped us out so many times with both of our pups. My girls absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her. My puppy had tummy issues and had an accident in her crate which got on herself, Clara was more then willing to give her a bath and clean out her crate so my pup wouldn’t have to sit in it all day! She’s amazing with communication and will respond quickly when she’s able too! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to truly care about your animal while you’re gone!!”

About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of pets for about three years now. I’ve watched pets at my home, walked dogs, and stayed overnight at other peoples homes to care for their pets. I currently work at Canine Clubhouse which is a doggy daycare and boarding facility so I have plenty of experience! I’m currently in nursing school so my main focus right now is dog sitting/pet care. Ive work at Canine Clubhouse, a doggy daycare, for 2+ years now, but since I’m in nursing school I’m looking to get my animals fix! ❤️ When house sitting I love to meet the pup/cat before staying over just to make sure they know me! To make sure they feel safe I follow their everyday home routine, as provided to me by the owner. I keep things clean as well including pet bowls, cat litterboxes, and tidying up any messes.
