Dog Walkers in Lake Como, PA

About: As recent empty nesters (we lost our senior pup Charlie🐾 in 2024 to old age) we look forward to providing a loving and calm home for your pup to land while you are away. My husband and I work freelance in advertising and I am also a part-time librarian. We have started pet sitting to add back some joy to our quieter days. We enjoy a good couch potato for company while we send emails, but we also would love a companion for our daily walks on our quiet dirt road! We have cozy beds waiting in every room, including the premo spots- in front of the fireplace and access to all the people-couches - so your pup will always be comfortable as they inevitably follow us around the house in your absence. We have experience with managing modified diets as well as administering oral medications, please feel free to share any special needs or rituals your pet may have. Our WFH lifestyle means that we can accommodate any needs your pet may have. If your dog has a specific midday potty break followed by couch time, we can make it happen. Does your dog need a song sung before they will eat their breakfast? No problem. Can they only lay down for bed with a specific plushy and their blanket freshly folded? We've been there. Please let us know about your friend's quirks so that we can do our best to fill in for you while you're away. We have a spacious clean house that your pet will have access to with a variety of dog beds and toys for their stay. Please feel free to provide a crate if your dog prefers, we have room! If sitting in your home we will be mindful of house rules and make sure to maintain consistency for your pet so they feel secure while you're away.

About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm. A half hour lunch long lunch where I can leave to care for your furries in the middle of the day depending on the distance. Dogs will be crated when I’m not home. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me! I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

About: I am very well equipped to care for dogs and cats with varying needs and abilities. Each animal deserves the love we would give our own child. I’m currently looking for new opportunities having just moved back to the area. I have grown up here and have cared for many pups and kitties and would love the opportunity to give your pet the love and care they deserve. I am very attentive to the specific instructions of each pet owner. Every fur baby has their own unique personality and needs and I am well equipped and able to keep them safe and happy while in my care.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner since 2013, raising my own pups from just 8 weeks old and learning the ins and outs of dog behavior along the way. For the past three years, I’ve offered dog boarding, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Patience is my strength, and I know how to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Here, your dog won’t just have a place to stay — they’ll have 8 acres of open land to run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, sniffing every corner of the yard, or lounging in the sun, they’ll find their own little slice of paradise here. My goal is to ensure your dog is not only well cared for but truly happy during their stay. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your dogs. Since I have dogs and other animals of my own, I rarely travel, so I’m available most of the time to look after your furry family members. We live on open land with no neighbors nearby, so if your dog loves to bark or roam, they’re free to enjoy themselves without worry. I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.

I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care. Not only will I tend to their needs, I will play with them, and show them love.

“Rose is great ! Mr. Howell LOVES her. She is dependable and I appreciate that she gives me feedback about my dog's status - loose poop, eats grass, etc. My dog has severe allergies and sensitive skin and stomach, so this info is very helpful especially when trying out new medications or food. Rose is also quick to respond to messages. I am beyond greatful to have found her and will definitely use her in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Destiny Bowers, a passionate animal care professional with over 17 years of experience. I specialize in animal training, grooming, and individualized care for pets of all sizes and temperaments—including those who are aggressive or reactive. From senior to young kittens/puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even snakes, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of animals, always prioritizing their mental and physical wellbeing. My journey into animal behavior began in college, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I wasn’t able to complete my degree. However, I plan to return and finish my studies. In the meantime, I’ve continued to expand my expertise through hands-on work in multiple boarding facilities and with the SPCA. I’m also certified in pet first aid and CPR, attending annual recertifications to ensure I’m always prepared to keep your pets safe. Whether your pet needs training, grooming, or personalized care, I’m here to help. I also have extensive experience administering medications and tailoring my approach to fit each pet’s unique needs. I recently have started as a hobby, pet photography, so you will get plenty of photo updates if you book with me. If you’re interested in training, grooming, or photography services, please reach out for a custom quote. For dog walking, house/pet sitting, or drop-in visits, bookings can be made through Rover. I look forward to providing the care and attention your pet deserves! My current schedule allows for all-day play with your pup or kitty! Nothing would please me more!! However, this can change. I do own my own dog training business therefore when I get busy with appointments I will have to update my schedule, luckily most my clients are on vacation currently. If interested in my training or grooming services let me know and I'll give you a quote. I am very very observant of my surroundings. I will NEVER let ANY unknown people or animals near your fur baby. I am very aware of how to best handle aggressive and reactive dogs. You will have video/picture updates of your fur baby while in my care so you can rest assured that they are under only the best care!
