Dog Walkers in McVeytown, PA

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.

About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.

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.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthair Pointer as a family dog, so high energy is nothing new to me. I have senior dog experience that includes medication administration (including oral, topical, and injectables), palliative care, and hospice care. I have worked with dogs that do not have the use of their back legs, and dogs who have to wear diapers and need assistance using the restroom. I am a high school senior with early release. I can be out of school as soon as 11:15 to care for your pet. I do not have a fenced yard. I love to play with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I will walk whatever animal that you need, I am also able to take them on hikes if that is something there is interest in. I often care for farm animals including horses and cows, so I am available to care for them as well.

“Tracy took such good care of our dog on his walk. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. She was very attentive to our dog’s needs. Will definitely be using her again”

About: As someone who grew up raising livestock and pursued a career in wildlife biology, I have cared for far more than just dogs and cats. I can take care of just about any critters you might have at your home, including exotics like rabbits, birds, snakes, and farm animals! I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels over the years. I have given medication in the form of pills, ointments, and eyedrops. I can also administer subcutaneous injections if needed. I'm allergic to kitties, so I can't stay overnight, but I can feed, water, and scoop litter as needed in houses with cats. I adhere to agricultural biosecurity practices, so if you need farm animals tended I know how to prevent the spread of disease. Currently, I have no other scheduling conflicts besides other pet sitting clients. I am currently available all days of the week and can check animals during typical working hours on weekdays. I am not able to host pets in my house, but I am committed to making your pets feel happy and comfortable in their own home.

About: Hi! My name is Cassie I am 25 years young. I have a genuine love for dogs! I have never grew up in a home without one! I am down to do just about anything for an animal whether that is feeding, walking, playing, giving medicine, bathing, you name it and I am there. My love for dogs is what drove me to be on this site. I could not think of a better job to have. I can not wait to see your furry friend! Thank you for considering me for the job! I have the most time mornings and evenings to do extracurricular activities with the fur babies. My husband also helps out and will go on walks mid day when he gets off of work. I live in a house with a backyard for your fur baby to walk, run, potty and play. Plenty of space for your pet to roam!

About: I've grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals. I currently care for my sweet senior dog, Diamond, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, so I understand the special attention older pets need. I also have experience caring for a blind dog. I've volunteered at two animal shelters and have experience pet sitting for others. I'm also very active and love going on walks or playing outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide calm, compassionate care that fits their unique personality and needs. I'm currently a student at Penn State and on summer break, so my schedule is very open. I'm taking one online class and working part-time with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of availability to walk, check in on, or stay with your pets. I'm happy to provide in-home pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I'm very mindful about securing doors and gates, and I have experience slipping in and out carefully so curious pets don’t sneak out. I also double-check locks and can crate your dog if needed. I always stick to your pet’s usual routine and walking routes to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm patient, calm, and committed to creating a safe, familiar environment where your pets feel loved and cared for.

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs of various sizes and have never met one I don’t immediately love. I truly believe dogs deserve the world, and I would love to get to know yours! I am a full time college student in Lancaster, PA, so I am hoping to find a small side job at home during the summer. This means that my hours are very flexible. I can assure you that your pet will always have my full attention. I’m the kind of person to go somewhere and ask if there’s going to be a dog I can befriend. At college, I make frequent visits to the nearby dog park and play with them.

About: I have two pups of my own, a shitzu and boxer. My house is dog friendly and your pup will become one of the family over their stay with us. Treats, walks, and belly rubs for all. I work a full time job but am off all weekends. I am happy to host your animals Friday-Sunday. Optional weekdays possible after discussion on care. I own a house in town with a privacy fence in my back yard. Dogs are allowed to free roam the house while I am there, unless otherwise instructed.

About: I grew up in a family of large dogs and have owned two French Bulldogs. I'm opening up my services to meet more amazing dogs and love on them as much as I do my own. I love senior dogs and those with special needs and happy to attend to their every special circumstances. I carry fresh water at all times and make sure our pups stay hydrated and happy. Personally I'm very healthy and fit and happy to exercise with your dog if that's their thing or just take it easy and enjoy the joy of being outside together. I've read Cesar Milan's book on dog psychology and have implemented his method of primal walks and pack leadership. 💛🫶 I'm a freelance creative writer and designer and I work from home. I spend most of my time gardening or working in our orchard, doing yoga, meditating, writing, cooking and reading. I feed my dog fresh premium food and wash the bowls after every meal. I generally avoid people giving out treats to my dog, children and dog parks to keep things safe and consistent. I care for the barn cat and birds. First and foremost I read through all instructions you provide for your pup and make a notecard listing out all details. I reference my notes often to ensure I'm aligned. If staying in my home, your pup will appreciate the same treatment I give my own pup, loads of love, walks and attention. Right now I'm only accepting dogs for overnight that I've developed a strong relationship with. But I have an extra kennel and they can sleep on the bed if you allow it.

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’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and other farm animals. I have my degree in Veterinary Technician. I have a little bit of dog training experience. I have trained hunting dogs along side of my husband. I promise to care and love your little one as if they were my own. I will always be there with them. I will make sure they are safe. I am free Friday nights, Saturday and Sundays. I do work Monday - Friday. I have a very flexible work schedule. I do work for family. I can do drop offs Monday mornings on my way to work. I can do pick up Fridays when I’m off. I work from home and I live on 10 acres of lovely mountain property. I do not have a fenced yard. I do have 2 outdoor 12X10 kennels set up. I would never let a dog go out potty without me on a leash. I spend about 30 minutes outside with my own dogs every 1.5 hours. I am outside most of the day unless it’s extremely hot or cold. I am with the animals 24/7. If your dogs likes to be outside I can put them in the kennels for extra outside time. If they like to be inside I can leave them inside while I take other dogs pee. I have a Furbo camera installed so I can view them at all times. Must be good with cats.
