Pet Sitting in Jericho Mills

“Katlyn is the best! She loved on my little house panther Tazz while we were away and made sure he was happy and well cared for. I always worry about him because he hates being alone and cries but her daily updates eased my worries. I returned home to a happy boy who didn’t crawl all over me immediately upon walking in the door! Hope Katlyn is available for future Tazz sitting ❤️”

About: Always joking that dogs are superior but in truthfulness love all animals. Experienced with dogs but open to providing care for other pets. Will strictly adhere to owner requests, so long as they are humane. (Furniture ok vs not allowed, food/walking schedule, treats, etc.). There will be no shortage of affection and attention, assuming the pet is receptive. Open to assisting with reactive or challenging pets. Attempting to build a trusting bond is an inherent desire. Work from home so (brief) walks, potty breaks, playtime, etc can be provided through entirety of day. Longer walks before 8am or after 5pm. Available 24/7 on weekends and holidays. Live alone so no concerns about other pets or children. Have decent sized yard but do require a leash since there is no fence. Safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood.

“April was wonderful with our little JRT. She is very caring and attentive sending us texts and photos during her stay. We appreciate finding someone like her to look after our little guy !”

About: I've had many dogs my whole life. I love playing with them and watching their personalities come out. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dog when she was on vacation. I am working in a reptile building at a zoo, and I also attend college for animal studies, where I work with many different animals. When I'm at the client's house, I will have the dogs on a leash when going outside unless they have a fenced-in yard and they say I can have them off of it. I can also crate the dogs if need be.

“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: I’ve taken care of animals pretty much my whole life. I started out walking dogs around the neighborhood and moved my way up to training bullmastiffs with my family. We have had bullmastiffs for a few years now and I absolutely adore big dog breeds! I would love to take care of your animals for you!! I’m currently a student at Virginia tech so I will have free time in between classes and a majority of the day! My schedule is pretty flexible however you may need! I can feed, play with, brush, bathe, walk, run, whatever your pets may need, I can do for them and for you to make your life easier!

“Very personable, she kept me informed while we were away. She responded to my request in the same day.”

About: I have had a dog since I was 12. I also have taken care of neighbors and family members dogs for them. Puppies are always fun, but the older ones are always looking for love. So I work 8am till 5pm. If anyone would need me to look after their pets from 6am till 7:30am I could do that. And any time after 5pm I could care for your pets on the days I am available. So I do not have a fenced in yard. But my Boxer and Frenchton have learned to walk on a leash. My Boxer loves going for walks and chasing any toy that we throw! The Frenchton likes to stay cool and play indoors, with the cats we have.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14; I’ve trained and cared for my golden as well as the four cats in my household. I’ve also started taking on strays! I work full time over the week and I am more than capable making any stops from work or even filling up my weekends taking care of your pet. I am very flexible with instructions if need be. I’ll take care of your dogs or cats with care and diligence. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a wonderful neighborhood that I can walk your pet in.

About: I am 23 years old and currently am a stay home mom (9 month old son) and have a part time job (1-2 days a week) at a dog kennel as a receptionist/kennel attendant/groomer. I also have 3 pets. My pets include Bentley (12 year old Yorkshire Terrier), Hadley (2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and Jaxon (goldfish). I enjoy spending time with not only my pets but also the ones I pet sit. I love meeting new animals and learning about their personalities. Pet sitting jobs by me can include; going for walks, playing games such as fetch or tug of war, relaxing and getting belly rubs, and updates and or pictures to the owner (if wanted). To me animals are not just pets they are part of the family as well. I’m currently a stay at home mom to the sweetest 9 month old boy (Charlie). So my schedule is very flexible for taking care of your furry family members :) My 9 month old son would be with me for visits/walks. He has been around dogs of many sizes since birth. I have my own 2 small dogs and my mom has a large lab and an elder small dog as well. So, he is very gentle with all pets he meets.

About: I am a teacher just looking for some fun pooch time while earning a few extra bucks. I live an active lifestyle of my own, and put that into the work I do. I have worked with dogs at doggie day cares for about 8 years now, and have plenty of amazing experiences with dogs of all shapes and sizes. From playing to snuggling to training, I’ve done so much with dogs. I also have 3 dogs of my own. Two are beagles and one is an Australian cattle dog mix. They all are rescues! I am looking forward to doing business with you. I am a teacher so my summer time is wide open for dog walking! I love the outdoors so will make sure to take as much time as possible outside as your dog wants. I am always diligent to care for your pet as you would care for them. I know that’s how I would want someone to care for my pets.

About: Hi there! I currently work as a chef but I was previously a receptionist at Rossmoyne Animal Emergency Trauma Center for 6 years. However, I miss being around the animals everyday so I thought this was a great way to see fur babies everyday around my schedule and yours. I also have all of my clearances! I have had lots of animals growing up of different breeds, I have had 12+ years of caring for all types of animals. I had an English Mastiff for 12 years and a Great Dane for 7 who have now crossed the rainbow bridge. My family and I now have a Newfoundland, one cat, two chickens and bearded dragon. I Would love to spend my day with animals and help provide care.. I love all animals of all kinds! I do plan on taking an animal CPR/first aid class. Can't wait to meet you and your fur family! I am currently work full-time but I could be available in the mornings, evenings and weekends as needed for you and your fur babies schedule. When I come to your home to have a visit with your pet I will adhere to the instructions given to me. This means being leashed if you don't have a fenced yard, or being crated when I leave the home to ensure your dogs safety. Also, Being mindful of high temperatures outside to avoid heat stroke or burnt paws.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family and friends always relied on me to take care of their pets while they were away. I’m a cat and dog person. Currently I work part time at a nursing home as a caregiver. I’m available in the late afternoons most days. Most weekends I’m available late morning and early afternoons. I have a underground fence, harnesses, and seatbelts as well as a hammock for in the car. I keep close eye on them. Never leave them out of sight

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have always had a love for dogs. I currently have two dogs, one is a Shih Tzu I’ve had for almost 12 years and the other is a rescue I’ve had for two months and it makes my heart happy to have rescued her from the situation she was in. I treat all dogs as though they are my own and I want the best for all of them. I work full-time and get home at 5:30 in the evening. I’m available anytime after 6:30 on weekdays to walk your dog and play with them. I’m available all day on weekends and holidays. I am currently not pet-sitting in my home or clients’ homes. But if I do decide to do this in the future, I have a fenced in yard with two lovable dogs.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

“Christine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs!”

“Emily took very good care of our cat Cali. She sent lots of pictures showing that Cali was doing well. Cali seemed to warm up to Emily quickly. We would use her again.”

About: I've been house sitting for friends and family since I was 12. It allowed me to supplement my income and work with the animals that I have loved since a young age. I was a vet tech in high school and during the first few summers in college, gaining small animal medicine and husbandry experience. In addition, I worked at a two different doggy day cares throughout my graduate and undergrad degrees, gaining a lot more experience with dogs and a little bit of dog training. Both of these degrees are also in animal science. I love pets of all kinds and have looked after everything from horses to dogs and cats, to birds. I am new to the area as a recent Penn State hire and don’t have established contacts for dog sitting like I did in the areas that I lived for my degrees. I work full-time but have a fair amount of flexibility to work remotely up to 3 or 4 days a week. If you have a stable wifi connection I will be more available to spend time with your pups although there may still be some days I need to be gone for work for up to 8 hours. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if that is your preference. I will not be boarding dogs as my landlord does not allow pets. I am respectful of your home and space and treat your pets as I would my own!

About: I’m a dog groomer and I have been certified in pet cpr through the grooming trainer center! I’ve been doing this for two years and have a golden retriever of my own, she just turned five. I’m working full time but can come after I’m done and before I go in! I have off every other Saturday, sundays and mondays. Very flexible! When I take your dog out I will always have it on a leash, I will always make sure it has water and whatever else you need me to do!
