About: I have had dogs my entire life. I recently moved out and am unable to have one of my own right now. I would love to help you out while also being able to to hang out with your good doggo! I work odd hours, so I’m usually free a lot of hours people normally wouldn’t be. So, taking care of your pet should fit seamlessly into my schedule. I’ve been around dogs all my life, so I am very good with tending to their needs. I’m always down for a walk, play, and or just being company.

About: I’ve been a Dog Mom for 15 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I am currently a student at NCC, so classes and schoolwork may affect my availability; however, I am generally available for walks and drop-ins every day. I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.

“Jessica is a fantastic dog walker. She took the time to get to know our dogs and their needs. She built a great rapport with them and took great care of them. She communicated well with us, as well. We will definitely be booming with her again.”

About: I've watched many animals throughout my lifetime and I love doing it! I'm a full time student majoring in Animal Science. I am more than willing to bathe, walk, feed, and play with any animal that needs it. I am also available for overnight stays for long periods of time or just quick check-ins if needed. Thanks for considering me! I’m a full time student at Delaware Valley University studying small animal science, but between classes I can check in and stay the night if needed I have one senior dog who is very anxious and isn't very dog friendly, so I will not be able to take any dogs into my home, but my dog gives me experience in working with anxious dogs.

“Aaren has been super responsive and sweet, unfortunately I had to cancel because plans have changed but I would absolutely book her to take care of my dog again!”

About: I currently have 1 rescue kitty. One 3yo gray, female, tabby and she is my baby. I have always had a dog in my life up until 5 years ago when he sadly passed at 11 yo. One day I will adopt a dog again but until then I will gladly help take care of and spoil your fur babies. I work from home Monday - Friday and have most availability evenings, weekends and some mornings. I can be flexible with your schedule and mine. I have a fenced in front deck however I always believe in leashing before the door is open and will abide by the owners instructions

“Heather is always so reliable and wonderful with our babies!”

About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I also work at Lead your K9 in Orwigsburg as a dog trainers assistant! I am currently doing online school and working part time. My other job is very flexible so I’ll be available any day of the week! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6 years old. I have experience of working and volunteering at shelters and kennels. I have experience with dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals!! I have a flexible availability and I am open to work around and meet the needs of my clients. I am a mom and pet owner of a dog and two cats. I treats pets as if they are family and I will treat your pets with the same respect. I have a huge heart for all animals

About: I spent my youth training to be a vet and fostering dogs. I learned a lot at vet school, namely that I couldn't ever deliver the final act of compassion. So, I turned my attention to my true passion - caring for dogs! I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and I love it. Every new dog that I meet reminds me how much I love dogs. I am flexible to the needs of every dog I care for and will make their experience with me as similar to their home life as possible. I have two dogs of my own, but they LOVE meeting new dogs to play with. If your dog is not as keen to new friendships, I can separate them all with ease. I have only one hard line, I need to meet you and your dog before the stay. I have learned that it is the best way to ensure your dog's comfort in their stay. I did not always adhere to this and I have seen some very stressed out fur babies. I want your fur pups happy and healthy as much as you do! Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so, I will be with your dogs all day. If we have any grocery trips or daycare drop offs, they will be crated for those brief periods. We keep our dog-less activities to a minimum during pet stays. We have no fence and our dogs run off-leash. With your dogs, I will walk them leashed because dogs (like children) test boundaries. We also go to creeks and hikes very often, and your dogs will join us leashed (if you approve).

About: I grew up on a farm, have always had pets. I'm a true dog lover, I have an English springer currently. I've volunteered at pet rescues and have always had animals to care for on our farm. I'm responsible and very reliable. You never have to worry about your pet when you are away from home. I am very flexible and will do everything I can to ensure your dog or cat is as happy as possible when you csnt be there. I walked dogs at a pet rescue, just love giving a little just to make their lives a little happier. We all know our pets are our family and you need someone with a lot of experience and passion to take care of your little(or big) guys! I'm currently retired so my schedule is flexible and time is not an issue for taking care of your pet. We can work with your schedule. I take care of your pet as though they were my own. I'm safety conscience, follow any and all instructions you give me for caring for your pets.

About: I have had dogs since I was 12. They have always been a favorite animal of mine. My family would always ask me to watch there dogs for them when they went away. I am off 2 days a week and I just wanted that time to spend taking care of dogs. I like to go on hikes and run around with my dog. I have a decent sized yard for your pups! My dog is also very friendly and would love some company whenever she can get it! I’m up to doing whatever you want for your pet.

“She was awesome! She did such a great job of caring for my girl and will definitely book her in the future!”

A 8 year old black lab, 4 year old cat, and 8 year old cat. Our dogs do well with other pets, they love to play. The younger cat likes to socialize with the other pets while the oldest prefers to hide out.
