About: I grew up with dogs and so I have experience caring for dogs from their puppy years to their senior years. I am also the resident pet sitter in my family and so I have experience caring for other people's dogs. I want you to feel worry-free knowing your dog is in loving hands! I am currently job searching while I am in between jobs and so my schedule is flexible to work with you and your pet's needs! I will be attentive to your dog's needs and follow all instructions that you leave. I will spend quality time with your dog along with feeding, walking, and playing with them!

About: As someone who has personally cared for six dogs at once—including different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels—I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for when you're away. I’m naturally organized, reliable, and attentive to routines, whether that means scheduled walks, feedings, medications, or crate time. I treat every pet with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs playtime or an older dog who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I also keep communication clear and consistent—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a responsible sitter who respects your home and genuinely enjoys caring for animals, I’d love to connect. I have no problem taking special instructions from owners being that some breeds need to be taken care of differently. Dogs have always been special to me and being a dog sitter/care giver is a great opportunity. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open at the moment! I prefer the mornings over afternoons but whichever the customer prefers. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and respect—for both the pet and the space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that includes feeding times, walks, crate time, or medications. I give pets plenty of attention and play, while also being mindful of their energy levels and boundaries. I always clean up after myself (and them), and make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. I check in regularly with photo updates and am available if you have any specific instructions or changes. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away—without disrupting their normal environment.

“So grateful to have someone that can walk my large breed gentle giant of a dog. David knows how to handle her, this is what is important to me. Roxy is a reactive pure bred German Shepherd so it’s not easy walking her but I have full confidence in David and his experience with dogs. It’s a blessing and I’m lucky to have found him. Thank you David.”


“Durell and Michael are WONDERFUL! Durell walked our 44lb pit mix Winter every morning for me. She was amazing and my Winter loves her so much! Durell showed up with a smile and Winter was excited to go every day. We will DEFINITELY be re-booking Durell and Michael for future walks and maybe even boarding.”

I walk and play with my dog frequently throughout the day and we would love to have another furry friend(s) join us.

I will watch and play with the dogs, giving them the attention and love they deserve. We will spend our time possibly learning new tricks, enforcing good habits and playing with each other, having fun all while making sure they are safe and sound.

About: Hello my name is Nancy I love all types of animals especially dogs. I've been infatuated with dogs ever since I was a little girl. I love to play fetch go for walks give belly rubs accept wet noses and wet kisses tend to have animals open up to me in a friendly matter. I use to have a red nose pit bull I rescued her. She was mistreated and I opened up my home to her she was the most loyal yet gentle dog I ever encountered. I love all pets big or small our fur babies are family as well so we care for them the same way we would treat another human all pets should be loves unconditionally no questions asked .

About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs since I was 10 years old, developing hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds over the years. My experience includes two beloved family dogs—Zeus, a 120-pound Pitbull, and our old senior dog Hannah, a 65-pound Whippet Mix—as well as others such as Cane Corsos, Maltipoos, Labradors, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs. Currently, I am attending Penn State University, where I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My hands-on experience, combined with my academic focus, has provided me with unique insights into animal behavior, health, and training techniques. I am dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment that brings out the best in every pet I care for. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life.

Additionally for senior dogs, I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, recognizing when they need rest, or extra comfort and support. My academic focus at Penn State revolves around animal care as I pursue a career in veterinary medicine, so I’m constantly learning about animal behavior, health, and wellness. This makes caring for pets both a personal passion and a meaningful extension of my studies. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency.

Haili D.
“Haili watched our two English Bulldogs for 6 nights/7 days and to say she was amazing is an understatement! My dogs are not easy to handle and she did it like a pro. My 68 lb male loves walks, he's really strong and can really pull and she had no problems handling him three times a day. Being bulldogs, they have plenty of medical issues and she literally handled all forms of meds including eye drops, ear drops, pills and even oral meds via syringe (lactulose for anyone who has a baby w/ stomach issues) and she did all this with no problem or pushback. She was very attentive and responsive when we checked in while giving us our space and not reaching out for every little thing so we can enjoy our vacation. She left the place just like we left it and cleaned up well considering my female vomits a lot and uses wee wee pads for all her bathroom breaks. She was very professional and sweet and I'd highly recommend her for any pet walking or sitting!”
