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: I have always had dogs growing up and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I have had plenty of experience from taking care of my own pets and pet sitting for others over the years. I am currently a Senior at Penn State. My classes are mostly in the morning and afternoon but I have long breaks throughout the day to dog walk and check in with pets. I truly care about animals and want to make sure that they are well taken care of and as comfortable as possible. I am also happy to perform any special requirements that your pet needs. Your pet will be safe and happy with me!

“Jenna takes great care after my cat everytime she drops in. My cat is very shy towards everyone, and she managed to become best friends with him! I would recommend Jenna to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

Pet care, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and grooming, should be integrated into your daily and weekly routine to ensure your pet's well-being and happiness. Establishing a consistent schedule provides predictability and security for your pet, reducing stress and promoting healthy habits. Start the day with feeding, followed by a walk or playtime to expend energy and stimulate your pet. Incorporate short breaks for feeding, playtime, or a quick walk, especially if working from home. Dedicate time for a longer walk, play session, or quiet time for bonding and relaxation. Schedule daily or weekly grooming sessions, depending on your pet's breed and coat type. Maintain a regular feeding schedule to help regulate your pet's digestion and prevent accidents. Bathe your pet every few weeks or as needed. Brush your pet's teeth regularly. Incorporate playtime with toys and games to provide mental and physical stimulation. I Establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I Ensure the home environment is safe and suitable for the pet, free of hazards and with designated spaces for rest and play. I Provide appropriate, healthy food and fresh water at all times. I Offer regular physical and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and training. I Establish clear communication with the client about the pet's routine, needs, and any specific instructions.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I love taking care of them. I can care for all types and sizes. I would treat your animal like they are my own. I do plan on going in to a vet tech program very soon. So I would be able to give care if needed. I currently do not work. So I have plenty of type to take care of your animals. I tend to wake up pretty early, so I would be able to let your animals out early in the morning. I can care for your pet in the way that feels the most comfortable to you. If you would rather them stay out of crates and me play with them or if you want them in a crate. It is all up to you and I will treat them however you want me to.

Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals.

I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

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 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.

“Caylene came every day as scheduled & took her time trying to find my shy kitties!! Was even able to send a couple pictures. It was a big relief to know we had her to rely on & didn’t have to worry while we were away.”

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

“Emily took very good care of our cat Cali. She sent lots of pictures showing that Cali was doing well. Cali seemed to warm up to Emily quickly. We would use her again.”

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'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 have been caring for animals as long as I can remember, starting with my own dog, rabbits, and exotic animals. I took on the responsibility of feeding, grooming, and exercising our pets, ensuring they were happy and healthy. Through prior dog sitting experience for family and friends, I have learned to handle various breeds and temperaments. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. :) As of now, I have open availability. Please contact me to discuss your pet care needs, and I will do my best to accommodate them. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets above all else. I treat every animal I look after as if they were my own pets.

About: I have over 30 years experience with caring for dogs and cats not only with my own pets but my families and friends.

Even tough my schedule is different every week I have many available days to spend time with your loved pet. I have a cat and a dog and a fenced in yard for my fur babies.

About: While growing up, my parents fostered many greyhounds. I assisted with training, walks, and over all care! I love pups of all shapes and ages! I have an Australian Shepard named Levee. I care for all his needs daily. We get exercise by going on 2-4 hiking trails a week. I would prefer coming to you. I want your pups comfortable and in THIER space. Whatever you need! Walks, playing, or just keeping them company!
