Dog Sitting Penn Valley

“It was such a comfort to have Heather take care of my kitties. She watered my Mom's flowers, took in the mail and provided daily updates and pictures. I'll definitely hire her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Vanessa, I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in Special Education and two minors in social work and case management. I am seeking positions as a dog sitter as an additional gig. I have prior experience working with dogs and kittens/cats at the EASEL shelter so I am comfortable around animals. I personally do not own a dog, but I love the happiness and companionship a dog and cat gives. Being a sitter allows me to gain the proper experience I need to be able to own a dog in the future! I have experience in dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting (for both pets and the elderly). I have my own method of transportation, and a flexible schedule. I hope to meet you shortly!

About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue  I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy  We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day! She’s good around other dogs and people though! Animals truly bring joy into my life, and I’d be honored to take care of your pet like part of my own family I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ✨ My Daily Pet-Care Routine ✨ I currently work night shift, but I’m usually home between 6:40–7:00 AM. Morning I arrive home and feed my dog, then we play, cuddle, and bond for a few hours After a short break, she goes outside around 9:30–10:00 AM for fresh air & potty time Midday Around 12:00–12:30 PM, I feed my girls again They eat twice a day, but I’m happy to follow your dog/cat’s feeding schedule! Afternoon Another potty/play break around 2:00 PM Back outside again around 3:00 PM Evening • She’s allowed to stay out of her crate freely until about 8:00 PM, which is her cozy “bedtime” At this time I’m willing to do Client drop in , day time day care your pets will be treated like mine , grooming (only bathes & nail clipping) and dog walking.

“We feel so fortunate that Bethany cared for our cat and our plants! She immediately earned our trust and kept in touch with just the right amount of communication, making us feel reassured and connected while we were away. We came home to a happy cat and plants that looked even better than when we left. We hope to have Bethany visit again in the future!”

About: I stand out because I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with helping dogs and cats build confidence and good habits, and I provide gentle, attentive senior care for pets who need extra support. I focus on understanding each animal’s unique personality so they always feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work until 5pm on weekdays, so evenings are dedicated to giving pets my full attention, whether that’s evening walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Saturdays are completely open, which lets me offer flexible daytime care, longer visits, and extra support for pets who need more one‑on‑one time. I make sure every visit feels calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet’s needs. I make pets feel comfortable and cared for wherever they are. In my home, I offer a calm, cozy space with consistent routines and plenty of attention. In clients’ homes, I follow their schedule closely, keep things tidy, and give pets one‑on‑one care so they feel safe and relaxed.

“Emily was very good with Peroni even though he can be quite a handful she came in with ideas on how to get him to play ! So very appreciative of her :)”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I would love to provide a safe and happy experience for you and your pet while you’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and will treat your pet like my own. I’m a mental health therapist during the day and have a rescue cat named Itty Bitty Kitty. I found her at 2-3 weeks old with a sinus infection and nursed her back to health. She’s a happy and healthy (ironically named) cat now a days. I’ll take the same great care of your pets while you’re away. I can do check ins with your cats or walk your dogs. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and love them all! I could do checks in with your cats and dogs throughout the week and weekend. I’ll make sure to check in with you and send pictures/videos of your pets while you’re gone if you’d like. My goal is take care of your best friend like he/she is my very own and to give you peace of mind while you’re away from home. I currently work from home Monday-Friday as a mental health therapist. I make my own schedule so I could arrange care for your pet based on your needs. I have a fenced yard at home and love taking walks. If your pet were to stay with me, I work from home so they would be supervised throughout the day and would also get lots of play time and affection.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 18 years. I currently have two dogs that run my household. I’ll treat your pups like they’re my own. I work from home 4 days a week, so if your pup is here with me, they’ll never be lonely. They have access to my fenced in yard at any time. I have two dogs that are very friendly and a large fenced in yard with a 4 foot fence. I’m happy to stick to any routine that your dog is used to.

About: I’ve take care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Feeding, bathing, walking, and loving! Friends and neighbors always reach out when they need to. I’m working full-time, but getting outside for walks or potty breaks is always important. My schedule is pretty flexible when I need it to be. I walk my dog about 3 times a day. We have structured walks and free time walks to ensure he is getting the most out of our walks.

“Helen has been super helpful in caring for my senior sheltie. I have booked her multiple times. She responds in a timely manner and always messages me with any questions as my old man can be very fussy.”

“Jimi was awesome. Very accessible through text. He cares about your pets. Loved having pics sent to me. I highly recommend him for petsitting.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra, a lifelong animal lover and sitter of dogs🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets, so I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would want someone to give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines—from playful puppies who need lots of attention and potty breaks to adult dogs who are happiest going for a walk and curling up on the couch afterward. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow your normal feeding schedule, walking routine, training cues, crate routine, medication instructions, or any other preferences that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I work remotely, so your dog will always have a companion home with them to make sure they are getting all the love and attention they need. I’ve always been the go-to person for my family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets, but my experience goes beyond pet sitting. When I lived in Austin, Texas, I spent about a year fostering dogs and puppies, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. That’s actually how I ended up with my dog Cosmo—I was a proud “foster fail” and couldn’t bring myself to let him go! If I had the space, I probably would have adopted every foster dog and cat that came through my home. These days, pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to spend time with more animals without constantly bringing another one home. 😂 I genuinely love caring for pets and treat every animal like they’re one of my own. As a pet parent myself, I also know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone new. I’m very communicative and will happily send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 📸💕 Outside of pet sitting, I work professionally as a program and events coordinator, so being organized, dependable, communicative, and attentive to details is a huge part of my everyday life. In my free time, I love spending time with my dogs, baking, doing crafts and nails, traveling, building LEGO sets, and relaxing at home. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled. 🐶💗 I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, training, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also very much a homebody, so when I’m not working or running an occasional errand, I’m usually at home with my pets. Adding another furry guest into my routine comes very naturally to me, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule around their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. 🐾💕 I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate routines, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. I know every pet has their own personality, so I adjust my care depending on whether they love constant attention and cuddles or prefer a little more space and independence. When pets stay in my home, safety is my biggest priority. I have dogs of my own, but I always keep my pets separated from my guests’ pets rather than assuming unfamiliar animals will get along. This allows every pet to have their own comfortable, safe space and gives owners peace of mind. My apartment complex also has a dog park, so if you are comfortable with your dog using it, I’m happy to take them there for some extra exercise and playtime. If dog parks aren’t your preference, that’s completely fine too! I’m more than happy to take them on long walks and strolls around my complex or visit nearby parks instead. I’ll always follow whatever you feel is safest and most appropriate for your dog. I’m very attentive and spend plenty of time checking in, playing, walking, cuddling, and making sure pets are comfortable throughout their stay. I also send regular photos and updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dogs and helped with feeding them, giving them water, letting them outside, and just keeping them company. I’m really comfortable around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient with them and always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. My schedule is pretty flexible during the week. I’m available Monday through Friday and can work around different times depending on what you need. I’m happy to plan ahead too. I’m used to being around dogs and know how important it is to make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll treat your pet with the same care I would my own and always keep an eye on them. I’m also bilingual and speak English and Spanish!

About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!

About: I grew up with several different dogs and animals of all kinds. I love any type of critter and in the past I have taken care of senior, young, and special needs animals, and love them all dearly. I just graduated and moved to New Jersey! Currently have a fully open schedule and need to fill up some time! Please contact me and I’d love to take care of your fur babies I always make sure that any animal I take care of is always safe and sound. I make sure to never let dogs out without a leash, and am always careful to make sure a cat never sneaks out the front door when going in and out. And I always make sure to remember things easily forgotten, such and changing out their water!

“Michael’s the man! Nice guy, was really great with my dad’s dog—you could see it in the pictures he passed along. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m an 18 year old student who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve grown up with cats and have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and understanding animal behavior and moods. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always try to match each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and need a calm presence. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free in your absence! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already structure my day around responsibility, consistency, and being attentive to details. I’m used to keeping a steady routine, so adding feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins for pets feels very natural to me. I enjoy spending time with animals, so it never feels like a chore, it becomes something I genuinely look forward to throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention, play, and affection depending on their personality. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of routines and instructions. I stick closely to the pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure in their own environment. I double-check everything: food, water, walks, litter boxes, medications if needed, and I always make sure pets get not just care, but companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away.

About: I have had a cat for most of the first half of my life. For the last 8 years I have sat for a large 55 pound American Staffordshire Terrier Pit mix. For the last year I have been a volunteer at our local animal shelter walking shelter dogs and socializing kittens and cats. I am a semi-retired teacher so I have plenty of time during the week and on Saturdays. I tutor online from my home about 10-15 hours per week. I live alone in a second floor apartment. I provide plenty of love, afffection, and attention as I love anlmals. I have no children or pets so I am available for them as much as needed.

“Took great care of our pups and communicated with pics and messages every visit.”
