Dog Sitting Lackawanna

About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.

“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

“Rebecca is a great pet caregiver. We were pleased with her reliability and enthusiasm. We received daily updates and pictures of our cat. That is reassuring and fun at the same time. It is clear that she is a pet lover and would welcome her back for more check in- pet sittings when next time rolls around.”

We're everyone's"go to" for dog sitting. I'm a full time social worker from 8:30 to 4:30 Mon-Fri.

We have a daily routine, coming home right after work and weekends are mostly spent at home with the pups-ours and yours 🙂 I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind sharing her mama's attention.

About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!

“Emma helped us out last minute by watching our dogs. Our dogs are unique and have special restrictions, so I was initially concerned about entrusting a stranger to care for them! However, Emma did a wonderful job and the weekend went off without issue. She was attentive and quick to respond via text as well!”

As a proud dog owner and a parent of enthusiastic teenagers, we love hiking and exploring the great outdoors together with our furry friend. Combining my love for dogs with the flexibility of summer, I’m excited to provide loving care and companionship for your pets while enjoying the beauty of nature.

I have a fully fenced in yard and walking distance to 3 beautiful parks for walking. I also have a large adjustable crate for any dog.

About: Hi there! My name is Kayla and I have been a dog lover since I got my first dog at 7 years old. I grew up with a Golden Retriever (Jeter), when he passed I was devastated, but knew I could not live without a dog in my life. I got a mini golden doodle (Rylee) who is currently 4 years old. I also ended up adopting a heeler/dachshund mix (Mavis) who is 7 months old. I have experience working with all different sized animals of all ages. I took care of my senior dog, assisting him with a broken leg and have experience with puppies and training. Pets are family and I know how important it is to find a caring and loving individual to be with your pet, let me be that person for you! I am currently a school counselor with many days off during the summer and breaks. I am able to board your furry friend on weekends and during days off! I am available every day for dog walks after 3:30pm. With my love for animals, I will ensure endless cuddles and playtime for your pet. I live on 3 acres of land with enough space for your pet to run and play. Right up the road is my mother’s house who lives on 60 acres of land and a pond if your dog likes to swim where I can take them to anytime! If your dog is crate training or trained, I would love to set that up for you.

About: Hi! I’m Julian, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit for food, water, potty breaks, or a fun day of companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they receive the attention and care they’re used to. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I understand that every dog has different energy levels and needs. During every visit, I’ll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and positive interaction. I’ll also send photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Reliability, communication, and your pet’s safety are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! I do work a full time job. Night shift 1030pm-7am, rotating weekends. I think this is perfect for pet care because i work when all the dogs are asleep. I have time to walk the dogs give them some love and attention in the mornings. I then nap and usually up and active by 1pm and have plenty of time to help take care of your pets. I walk my own dogs so much i figure i can spread the love. I have a fully fenced yard. I have 3 friendly dogs who are eager to play. A Rottweiler, a cavalier King Charles spaniel mix, and a Yorkie/bichon mix as well as 2 cats, one shy female and a male orange cat who thinks he’s one of the dogs

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.

About: - I love to walk, even those longer walks for those dogs such as my families own golden whom requires a lot of exercise! -I always carry disposable bags for poop and a water bottle for dogs as they get thirsty on walks -I also carry treats when walking - My families' dog is very afraid so I know how to deal with dogs that have those traits and do everything in my power to prevent them from interacting with any animal or anyone who would put them in a bad situation. -I always heed a dog owners' rules when caring for another's family member, because they know the dog best. -I treat another's pet as my own. -I make sure they are safe at all times. -I am not afraid of telling others they are not to pet a dog that does not want to be touched or interact with anyone but his/her human loved ones. I presently work part time and in schools during the school year. I have fostered dogs in the past with this same schedule and my foster pups were very happy. I would provide the same care for your pet for my own. I treat my pets like family and the same would be given to your fur baby.
