“We had a positive experience with Andrew. It was a last minute booking and he confirmed promptly. He was punctual, with proactive communication before and during the walk. Our pup was happy and he paid attention to our special instructions to keep her from picking up trash off the ground. Thank you!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I've taken care of two dogs. I helped my parents with training our dogs and have also helped with a senior dog I am a recent college graduate just looking to take care of some pups! My schedule is very open and I am very flexible! Would love to get repeat clients! I have grown up around dogs and I adore them. I have a lot of experience with them and love working with them. When I walk them/let them out I do as the client asks, make sure they have water, toys, etc.
“Nicola is absolutely amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for Rocky while we’re away. She is always reliable, on time, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. She doesn’t just walk him—she spends time playing with him, makes sure he’s fed, comfortable, and happy, and treats him like one of her own. Knowing Rocky is in Nicola’s care gives us complete peace of mind. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
About: I had my own dog from age 10-16 who I took care of every day and my brother now has a dog who lives with us who I also help take care of. We also had two cats when I was younger and plenty of other pets such as fish, lizards, and hamsters. I now own two of my own cats who are my world! My oldest cat, Solomon, has cerebellar hypoplasia, so I am experienced in taking care of special needs animals as well! I am currently in school attending classes at Kutztown. I commute (obviously lol) so I my schedule is pretty wide open other than class! Right now I just have class MWF from 10-2 (plus commute time), but I’m free otherwise! I know the ins and outs of taking care of animals as I have plenty of experience. I know how to take care of trained and untrained dogs whether that be crates or something else. For cats, I have two of my own so I can assure you they’d be in great hands <3
“Elizabeth was so awesome on short notice with our two pups. When our older pup wasn't warming up to her, she even came back later in the day to make sure she had her time outside. She was very sweet and left very detailed information everyday about my fur babies!”
“Outstanding!! Miranda has that rare combo of keen listening and paying attention to multiple dogs’ needs without dropping any balls - literal or otherwise! 😃💓 She is personable and upbeat and pays close attention to safety and security while focusing on fun for the furry ones!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I live with my husband and our two pups in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Dogs have been a huge part of my life since a very young age. As a child/teenager, I grew up with two Standard Poodles. In my early 20's, I was a parent to two Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Present day, I am mama to Nala, our Australian Shepherd & Siberian Husky mix, and Riku, our purebred Siberian Husky. Throughout the years, neighbors, friends, family, and clients have relied on me to walk, provide daycare, pet & house-sit, and overnight board many dogs of all different breeds. I am excited to welcome more pup friends into our family and to provide a fun, safe, and loving environment for all. If you are looking for someone who is caring, affectionate, responsible, and detail-oriented, look no further. Thank you for your time & consideration! I am available on a daily/weekly basis for boarding/overnight stays in our home (including weekends, i.e. Monday through Sunday). I provide doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walking Monday through Friday. PLEASE NOTE: On occasion, I am available on weekends for daycare, drop-ins, and walks as well, so feel free to reach out even if my calendar says "unavailable", and we can see if I am available during a weekend you need! We live in a single-family home with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for all dogs to be comfortable & happy. If breaks or alone time is needed, we are able to give the dogs their own rooms and/or separate them with gates throughout the house. Currently, we do not have a fenced-in yard, but we will be installing one within the next few years. Until then, we keep all dogs on extended leashes when exploring & playing in the backyard. In your home (and in ours), I will respectfully follow all instructions & rules that you provide to ensure your dog’s way of life, training, safety, and comfort.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life in my own home and around me, pet sitting overnight and drop-ins for family friends, as well as some experience at a dog washing business. I get along great with dogs and enjoy walking on my own, but especially with a companion! I’m working part time, so I’m available at various times throughout the week for drop-ins and stay-in’s with pups! I work some days 9-11 and other days 8-12; plenty of time to be with a dog. I get up to let my 2 dogs (German Shepard and a husky) outside in the morning, give them breakfast and play toys before heading to work. I give them a walk most days, take care of their water bowls and playing with them until dinner, as well as periodically letting them out throughout the day and giving them free time outside.
