Dog Sitting Mechanicsburg

“We booked Abby last minute to check on our two dogs and she was absolutely wonderful! She was quick to respond, very professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We really appreciated her reliability and the updates she provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Reactive dog owners rejoice! Nina was so amazing and patient with our reactive boy, Murph. He takes a little bit to warm up to people and is dog/stranger reactive, so I needed someone who has experience with that. She is very patient and respectful of Murph’s boundaries. She’s really good at reading dog behavior and has training experience too! I am so thankful for Nina and look forward to booking her again!”

“Katelyn provides reliable care for my pets & reaches out when she has any questions or concerns! I am able to trust she will do a great job while I’m gone!”

“The boys were just perfect when I got home. Emina & Jackson even had to do a little clean up from an upset tummy. They did a great job.”

Cricket S.

“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”

Amanda G.

“This was our first time using Rover & Sarah was excellent! She gave us peace of mind with drop in visits for our two cats. We loved seeing the pictures of our girls with the rover card after each visit and were very happy with the updates and communication throughout. We would absolutely book Sarah again!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.

“Abigail did awesome with Andre’. He looked so happy during her visits. She took time and did some fun tricks during her stay. I will definitely be reaching out to Abigail for future dates!”

“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

About: Ive had dogs since I was growing up with two of my own now. They are like my children. We love when our friends visit and bring their dogs too! I like dogs more than people I work full time in a school district so I would be available for evening walks and/or stop ins (anytime after 3:15pm) with your 4 legged friends. I treat everyone's dogs like family. My own dogs are my kids. I am confident in my ability to watch and care for your sweet babies.

“Appreciate Aimee’s responsiveness and reliability!”

About: I've taken care or have owned dogs my entire life. Last August, we lost our best friend, Nala, too soon. She was a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) and at the age of 5 was impacted by a very rare auto-immune disease especially for her breed. This was a tragic loss for my family and I and at this moment owning/adopting another dog would be hard. We don't want to ever experience that kind of pain. Having said that, we have so much love for animals and would be grateful to take care of your dog/cat as one of our own. Would prefer to pet sit in your home as we have 3 cats. However, boarding at our home is an option. It's mostly just my fiance Ashley and I living in the home as our adult boys are away at college. Please consider us for all of you pat care needs. Thank you! Working full-time but have a hybrid schedule. In the office 3 days a week but can be flexible. Available weekends and holidays for overnight boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park nearby. I also walk/run several miles a day. We live in a 3-level condo with plenty of room for zoomies.

Since I am not working elsewhere at the moment, I have plenty of availability to provide attentive care, maintain consistent routines, and accommodate pets with specific schedules or special needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment in both my home and my clients' homes. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family. My dog is free to roam, relax, and lounge on the couch, and I have created dedicated spaces where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Cats even have their own room and quiet areas where they can decompress, play, and have space away from other pets if needed. I also have the ability to accommodate pets who are crate trained or require crating for safety, comfort, or routine. I have a large dog kennel available for use as needed and can follow any crate training guidelines or preferences provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, playtime, and special requirements, while providing attentive supervision, companionship, and lots of love.

About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I have a fenced in yard, paired with a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. I work from home as a stay at home parent, so I am always with your loved one(s) and they have my undivided attention and love!

About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building a special bond with them so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently searching for a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. In the meantime, I’ll be able to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
