Trinity is amazing with my pups. Always ask me questions when needed. The dogs absolutely love her and I have a 80 pound American Staffordshire Terrier with anxiety . I completely trust my dogs with Trinity and am very lucky to have found such a great dog walker.

About: I am a stay at home mom to a teen. My older children are adults and have moved out. I do own a rental business that is almost self sufficient. So I have a lot of free time. I worked at Petsmart in the grooming salon years ago. It was probably my favoritest job, I've ever had. I had many request clients that I loved! Only reason I quit was because I needed to move to be closer to family, and there isn't a local Petsmart in Harrisburg, otherwise I would've transfered. I have had animals all of my life, from cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and guinea pigs. We currently have 3 dogs (Mastiff 10, Shih tzu 12, Pug 3 Y.O.) and 6 indoor only cats. I am familiar with puppy and senior care. Two years ago our 15 year old Labrador had a stroke. She lost the use of her back legs and I cared for her the months after. I love animals and never considered pet sitting, until I had a family friend pet sit for me. It was a nightmare. I thought no one should have to go through that. I ended our vacation just after two days. I have had many pet sitters because we had always vacationed 6-8 times a year. I know the things that disappointed me. I believe I'd make an incredible pet sitter. Plus I love animals! Big or small it doesn't matter. And yes, I'm really vegan for the animals. I have open availability since I'm married, my husband works from home and I own a rental business that is almost self sufficient. My only child at home is a teen now and so he doesn't need me at home as much. Since my husband is home and helps out with my home's care, that leaves me open for my own ventures. I'll be the only Rover care person from our household. I have a large house with a large fenced in yard. My animals are very friendly and have been well socialized. I would prefer to care for client's pets in the client's home but could care for client's pets in mine.

About: With me, your pet is guaranteed to receive personalized, loving care. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, I've been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and they've always been an integral part of my life. My experience in raising dogs all my life has made me highly attuned to their needs. I currently have a loving American Bulldog named Apollo, who you'll see under the orange cover in my profile gallery, along with other dogs I've cared for in the past. I've been dog sitting for years, and it’s more than just a job—it's a passion. I understand how important dogs are to a family, having experienced firsthand the comfort and joy they bring to our lives. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping you informed with regular pictures and updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs and your preferences, so just let me know your pups fav trails and playtime activities and I’m happy to accommodate. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer dog walks, play dates, and dog sitting at your home, including overnight stays if needed. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine and habits, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. I work Mon-Fri. But have the flexibility to leave multiple times throughout the day. I am able to do overnight stays Sunday - Saturday as long as you are comfortable with a sitter that has a 9-5. Open to taking the kids to the park, on a nice walk or even a small trial hike! Whatever meets your needs as a parent. Unfortunately I am not open to overnight sitting services within my own home. I can however bring your pet for a play date with my own dog or bring them to my house for a temporary moment of time.

About: I grew up around animals of all kinds- from dogs to iguanas to chickens. At 18 I got my own place and rescued 2 puppies. Fast forward 2 years, I fostered 2 new pups- ended up keeping 1 and gifting my parents with the other. I can take your dog for walks, to the park, hiking, check on them at home.. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I have such a deep passion for working with animals and I will nurture yours as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your dogs the proper care and love they need while you’re away! I work remote and live in town which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability. I have 3 dogs (10yr, 8yr and 5.5yr) so I'm super comfortable with feeding/walking/playing with animals. I live in an apartment with a huge back yard area. I also have an SUV which I can take your pups to the park or hiking if that's something you'd be interested in!

Leann loves all animals, from dogs and cats to dolphins and turtles. I’m pretty sure if an alligator tried to eat her she’d still pet it and tell it it’s a good boy.

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

Mark was fantastic when watching our little mini golden doodle, Belle. She is 5 years old, and can be fearful when we leave the house. He was so kind to her, and sent us pics of her playing and being happy. Mark even kept the house cleaned and watered our plants when he wasn’t asked to! It was so great, we didn’t even think about mentioning that while we were gone for 10 days. Definitely would recommend, such a nice trustworthy person!!
