***I currently have, and am prepared to use, protective equipment to continue to care for pets during this difficult time since covid. I will work with you to plan the best way that I can care for your pets and keep you safe.*** My service area is in the Mount Joy/Elizabethtown area only. I do know of a sitter that I can refer you to if you are in the Marietta and Bainbridge area. ****I am also offering stroller rides for disabled dogs and dogs that are terminally ill, so that they can still enjoy the outdoors even if they are unable to walk anymore! <3 (depending on the size/weight of the dog).**** My pet experience is not only with dogs, but cats, parrots, guinea pigs, ferrets, bunnies and tortoises as well. I am willing to feed reptiles with proper instruction and know pet CPR. I can give diabetic insulin injections and oral medications.... also willing to transport to vet visits. I have quite a few regular clients during the week. I may be available at other times, so please feel free to contact me and ask. I *prefer* to keep my Rover visits within the Elizabethtown/Mount Joy area but at times there have been exceptions. If you have a pet that is fearful of thunderstorms I would be glad to make an extra visit if at all possible during those times. I've had a dog that was fearful of thunderstorms, so I am well-versed in what can help during those times to calm your dog. I occasionally do over nights with regular clients if my schedule allows. Thank you! I currently work as a dog walker/pet sitter 7 days a week. My daily schedule as of January 2023 is booked with regular walks from 10:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Sadly, older pets pass on and clients move so it does change from time to time. I'm extremely safety oriented when I perform my dog walks and pet visits. I avoid talking on the phone or listening to music during walks because I want to be vigilant of any potential dangers for my client or myself. One day I was walking a small dog and all of a sudden I heard a growl coming closer to us but the dog was small and I didn't see it right away. Because I was paying full attention, I was able to hear the growling dog coming toward us and could protect the dog that was in my care. Even during drop-in visits, I'm always watching for possible safety issues. My current clients are well aware that I may unplug items such as coffee pots and toasters etc while they are away for extended periods. And if I see any potentially harmful safety issues I will notify the owner right away. If there any medical issues I will call the owner right away also.
