Dog Walkers in Oakryn, PA

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I’m a life-long equestrian with 5 horses at my farm now. I also have a flock of ducks. I’ve had cockatiels, aquarium fish, and a corn snake in the past. I care about each and every pet I meet as if it were my own. I'm a homeschooling mom of 5 self-sufficient kids. We care for 19 animals on my property (ducks, horses, cats, & Bob the dog) and I still have the desire, time & energy to care for more. I am organized, efficient, diligent, and not phased by chaos. During the day I would need to leave for a 4-8 hour period, depending on what you're comfortable with, to spend time with my own people and animals. For example, that might look like being out of the house from 6am-10am & 4pm-8pm. I am an easy houseguest: I sleep on the couch, bring my own towels (no extra laundry for you) & thoroughly clean before I leave. It’s as if a petsitting fairy came to visit. (It’s my general policy to clean what I use at a client’s home. If you want a whole-house clean from top-to-bottom, need help de-cluttering, or are behind on laundry & want me to do a dozen loads before you get back - that can be arranged for an additional fee).

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.

About: Rescued my Staffordshire Terrier / Mastiff mix when she was almost four and worked with a trainer to have her become my service dog. I had an amazing seven years with her until a brain tumor forced us to say goodbye. I spent 2021-2022 volunteering weekly at a rescue handling puppies, walking them and helping socialize them. In 2022 I adopted a five month old Rottweiler/pitbull mix puppy from Kansas. He is high energy and tecently completed his Begining manners obedience class. I'm enjoying training him, and when the end of the day comes he is a joy to cuddle up on the couch with and watch some tv. When conducting g drop ins I pay attention to details like how much ffod/water ate in the bowl, consistency and color of bowel movements and any other factors that I think may effect the overall health and well-being of your furry family member. Of course there is always time allowed for pets, snuggles, and wet puppy kisses. As a boarder I only take one dog at a time. Our guest "furry friend"- your dog, will have they own guest crate in my room, which is an efficiency suite in my parents basement. Your dog will have my dog to play with, get plenty of cuddle time on the couch when I watch TV, and the guest crate is only 10 feet from my bed, so we are all together. We live on 2 unfenced acres, so there is a lot of fun yard to run around in and play with my dog in during the day. I am currently not working a traditional job. As a result my time is flexible and other than my commitment to a number a regulars I do drop ins for, my schedule is pretty flexible. I prefer caring for pets in their own home as this is where they are most comfortable. I'm the new unknown factor. As much as I can keep to their typical routine and environment the more at ease I feel your pet will be.

“Jack is awesome at caring for our large breed dog, Titus. We adopted a puppy in June and were nervous about leaving him home all day once school hours returned in August. Having the peace of mind from Jack’s updates and photos from daily walks put us at ease. Jack is a natural with dogs, and he knew what questions to ask right away. It did not matter that Titus was 50 pounds at only 4 months old. Jack did great with Titus on leash walks and backyard play. Titus loves every visit. The communication has been stellar. I highly recommend Jack for your dog sitting/dog walking needs.”

About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I currently accepted a new job opportunity therefore my schedule is a little odd right now but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

About: I grew up on a 25 acre cow farm. As a child I had every pet imaginable. As a mother I allowed my children to experience owning pets. My 2 youngest grown children have dogs and they are my grand dogs lol. We are a horse family. I have a degree in education and have been a teacher for ever. If I can be trusted with children then you can certainly trust me with you pets. I currently don’t have any pets due to where I live. The landlord is strict on the no pets policy. I know it’s a bummer 👎 All my children are grown so I have evenings and weekends free 👍 I know pets can be considered as a family member so I will take care of them as if they are my own children. I will provide plenty of extra love and kisses.

“Marian is terrific. Our dog can be stubborn and difficult but she has been super patient and takes great care of him. Marian also communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She’s a dream and I know our pet is in great hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors for over 15 years now and its a passion of mine.

About: Hi there! For your consideration, a human who is fit and able to be there for your pet(s) when you can't be. I have been taking care of animals my entire life - it starts early on a farm. After many years in retail and then the lumber industry, I have decided to work for myself and advance in pet care where I truly thrive. From mice to horses I've done it all! Pet care has now become my full-time job and will remain that way as long as business keeps coming. I am very dedicated because I want to continue working with animals, which is my true passion. Currently I have five very sociable dogs who love making new friends. They vary in age, so it's a great environment for young dogs to socialize. I also have 13 chickens who are used to our dogs and are always willing to meet new ones, and lastly we have one cat who tends to do her own thing. My backyard is not fenced however I have multiple runs set up for dogs who are not recall trained, but we do have a fenced in deck around our pool where the dogs have free reign.

About: I love all dogs and would love to help out and watch your lovable dog! Walking your dog, playing with his or her, and or just watching him or her! I am currently an assistant kindergarten teacher during the day but I would still love to get to know your fur baby in the evenings and or weekends! I absolutely love watching dogs! I would love to help you out whether that be watching him or her or walking your dog while you may run errands, etc!
