“Bob has done an amazing job with partnering with Hershey. Not only is Bob comfortable with a large dog, his effort with maintaining communication regarding scheduling has been great! Highly recommend!”

About: I’m an experienced pet care provider with over 8 years of hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also work professionally as a Veterinary Technician, which gives me advanced knowledge in animal health, behavior, emergency protocols, and medication administration. I currently work only 2 days per week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. On days I’m home, your pet will receive full supervision, enrichment, and one-on-one interaction throughout the day. Even on my scheduled work days, I plan routines ahead and ensure that feeding, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and medication (if needed) are handled consistently and reliably. I provide care that is fully tailored to each pet and their owner’s preferences. Whether your pet has a specific routine, diet, training plan, or medical needs, I follow your instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am a school psychologist and very in tune with animals and people and have a passion for taking care of others, especially dogs. I believe dogs truly make a house a home. I am off for the summer so have all day to take care of your pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and would love to spend my summer with your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard. I have three teenage pet lovers who will also shower your dog with attention. I enjoy walking your dog if that is something your pet likes to do. I have a safe neighborhood with trails nearby. I will always be interested in your pet's personality. For example how they get along with other dogs and humans and I will always have their best interest in mind. I work full time but am off during the summer so I have plenty of time to play with your dog. During the school year I am not home from 7:30- 3:30 Monday - Friday. Howeyour family loves weekend visitors. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play outside. I would like them to bring their own bed or crate so they feel secure at night.
About: I have had pets my entire life. We had mostly cats at home but did have a lab mix for a while. I walked my neighbor's dogs as a kid and always wanted my own dog. I love walking dogs! I have great time getting to know your pup and I enjoy seeing them sniff up a familiar spot. I also offer drop-ins and sitting at your house. I work a flexible schedule that only has planned days of work which may be up to full-time. I know when I am available and always have it prearranged. I will ensure your pet is secure and your doors are locked. At your direction I can ensure your pet has enough food and water.

Current home-from-college student looking for extra work with open availability during the week for dog walks, pop-ins, and house sitting anytime after 9am. Available weekends 10am–8pm for dog walks and pop-ins as needed. Just a heads up, I will be returning to school on January 25th and no longer available for services :) I treat every home and pet with respect, following all instructions carefully. I maintain routines, give lots of attention, and ensure a clean, safe environment.
About: Hi High school teacher with over 15 years of experience as a devoted dog momma—and let's face it, taking care of your fur baby will be way simpler (and cuter) than managing a classroom full of teens! I will bring the same level of dedication and attention to detail to your pets care that I do to my students learning. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or some quality cuddle time, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is always the same: Love and spoil your pet as much as I spoil my ol' girl, Mya (14 y/o shepherd mix)! As a high school teacher, my schedule during the school year is structured, but in the summer (after Memorial Day), I have a lot of flexibility—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! With my summers off, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or extended stays. I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit a variety of needs. I do my absolute best to maintain your pet’s regular routine—because I know how important familiarity is for their comfort and I'm building trust. I’m organized, responsible, and detail-oriented—and happy to share photos and updates!
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. As well as a few different sizes and temperaments as well - from a toy poodle, to two collies, and now a Shetland sheepdog. Starting in elementary school, I have taken care of many of my neighbors pets while they went on vacation or a weekend tournament. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs that need special care and special attention. I’m currently a junior at Trinity Christian College, where I play on the volleyball team and serve as a Resident Assistant on campus. Even with a busy schedule, I make it a priority to plan ahead and stay organized, which means I always know when I’m available to care for your pets. I understand how important it is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone dependable looking after them—and I’m committed to giving your pets the same level of attention and care I’d want for my own. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules and make sure your pet gets the love and time they deserve! Many dogs find it comfortable to stay in their own home. With owning many different dogs I know how to keep boundaries with dogs (if they like being touched, etc.) I have taken care of dogs who need medication, changed diapers, and food stirred a certain way😂. I will do my very best to make your dog as comfortable as possible.
“Katie was so easy to communicate with from the moment we sent the dog walk request - even finding a time to do a video call beforehand :) We are so thankful that we found Katie to take care of Parker. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I have a mini labradoodle at home who’s my best friend. I grew up with a golden and have been around several dogs through my extended family. And I still always say hi to every dog I can I am working part-time from home. My dog Payton is pretty relaxed in terms of care so my attention is easily split to focus on your four legged friend I have large back yard with lots of space. There is also an anchored lead in the yard. I live within 10 mins of several parks and walking paths through the woods.
“Amy took care of my dog for 3 weeks when I was out of the country. Amy was always on time, sent me messages with dog's pictures, updates, responded to my messages instantly. Amy made me feel at ease and my dog was happy every day to see her. I would recommend Amy to my friends and everyone else, too. Thank you Amy for all your help!”
About: Hi, I’m Jackie! I’ve had dogs in my family for the past 20 years, and my own cat for the past five and a half, so I know how important it is to provide loving, attentive care. I treat every pet like part of my own family — whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, patient, and flexible, and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and routine. You’ll get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. We adopted our first dog from PAWS as a family almost 20 years ago, a boxer named Harley. He lived a very long, healthy and good life and we had him for a whole 15 years! Ever since then, we've had dogs in the house. Currently there are three! Two poodles and one (Senior) Smooth Collie. And of course, can't forget my very own kitty, Moody. It's a joy having a bundle of animals around. When it comes to the dogs and cat, they really just mind their own business. Although one day I'm always hoping I'll find them cuddling! Moody I adopted when she was 6 months, from Animal Welfare in Chicago. It was one of those moments where you just know. It was so special, the way I saw her and she saw me. She was being brought into the kennel for the very first time, and I immediately locked eyes, with her big beautiful yellow ones, and her and I both knew this is meant to be. And she is the most sweetest and cuddliest kitty there is! I'm not joking, the second I sit down anywhere, she's on my lap! She's pretty talkative too, especially for those treats and pets! She enjoys a little playtime outside now, where she just likes to sit and feel the fresh air. I can’t wait to meet your pets and provide the care they deserve! I'm a private yoga instructor, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate pet care visits at a time that works best for you and your pets. I provide in-home care for pets of all kinds, following each animal’s routine and instructions closely to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just quiet companionship, I bring a calm, attentive presence to every visit. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, giving them the attention, love, and gentle guidance they deserve.

5 Stars - Nicola is amazing! She walked my three high-energy Golden Retrievers and handled them like a total pro. They came back happy, relaxed, and clearly loved.
