Dog Walking Plumsteadville

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have had small and big dogs, cockatiels and a bearded dragon. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I am comfortable watching cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and amphibians. I have worked with senior animals and pets with special needs. I have a very open schedule and can check in on your animals multiple times a day. I'm equally happy to have a couch potato or a marathon walker. I would prefer to care for pets in their own home, but can take cats and small animals in my own home as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard.

About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.

About: How I can be your pets next favorite friend is my strong background in working with dogs, especially when it comes to basic training like sit, stay, lay down, etc. to even teaching some fun, playful tricks! I focus on making every visit engaging and positive to help reinforce good behavior while keeping your dog happy and active. While dogs are my specialty, I’m always happy to care for cats too with the same level of love, patience, and attention. Taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve got a dog of my own, so things like walks, training, and playtime are already part of my routine. I genuinely love being around animals, and I’m hoping to turn that passion into a full-time career one day. Pet sitting, or even just being around animals gives me a chance to do what I enjoy while gaining more experience with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m happy to care for your pet in my home, where there’s plenty of room to play and relax. I have both a front and back yard for outdoor time, and while they aren’t fenced, I always use heavy-duty tethers and stay close by to keep things safe. Inside, there’s lots of cozy space and available crate room if your pet is used to having their own spot. Your pet will also have the chance to hang out with my own small, friendly dog if they enjoy some company! I make sure every pet feels at home, gets lots of attention, and stays on their usual routine as much as possible. When caring for your pet at your home, I’ll always follow your instructions and any special routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease. I’m happy to stick to their usual schedule and habits so they experience as little disruption as possible. Plus, I bring extra pet supplies with me whether it’s toys, bowls, or anything else needed to ensure your pet has everything they need while you’re away.

About: My prices are very affordable, because good care for your fur babies should not cost a paw and a tail! I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with chickens, dogs, cats, AND birds. I love animals and I really do believe they are long lost family members! I can work whenever wherever, at your convenience. I live in an apartment conveniently located right by the harbor. I also live near few doggy parks and open land for your fur baby to enjoy. I am currently working part time, however am super flexible with any times you may need! I am available early in the morning, most afternoons, and even super late at night. I care for pets in my home as if they were in your home! I understand how difficult it is to leave your pets while you are away, and I want you to be reassured they are in good hands with me!

About: I have been petsitting for my friends and neighbors for over 10 years now, and have dealt with many different breeds. Im a naturally very energetic person so I love to take dogs on walks/runs and play out in the yard or house with them! I have experience with different dietary needs and administering different medications for both dogs and cats. I have experience with small animals as well- I took care of 3 guinea pigs for 6 years until they passed away. I just finished my freshman year of college but Im taking a gap year to work and travel more, so I have lots of free time to pet sit! I currently only work part time so there are plenty of days where I would like to spend my time pet sitting. I only have one cat in my house so there is plenty of room for other cats or dogs to make themselves at home. My yard is mostly fenced in, but not al the way so I would need to keep any dogs on a leash if I let them out back. However, I am able to take dogs in my car to and from places like the park! I can also easily keep any pets in a crate at my house if needed. I am very attentive to animals and will without a doubt give your pets the attention they deserve and more!!

“Camryn did an amazing job with Rocco, she was very professional while also taking great care of my puppy. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their dog!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for my own pets and my neighbors’ pets since I was a kid. I’m a certified veterinary technician and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve spent over two years giving dogs lots of love and personalized care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or medication. I am in college and I work, but I am always ready to work around it. I’m available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Thursday after 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays all day, and Sundays before 12 and after 5. I care for both cats and dogs with safety, patience, and respect for their individual needs. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and litter box or potty schedules. For dogs, I focus on leash handling, safe play, and proper supervision. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, clean litter boxes, and playing if they’d like. I keep pets in safe, clean spaces, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been neighbor hood babysitter and pet sitter since I was 8 years old. Always be responsible and trustworthy. Treat your property and pets as if they were my own.

My business is slow right now an I love animals so it will help me cope an offer best care for those who want the best for their loved pets!

Perfect for everyone as your pets will be loved as much if not more then expected. I am a serious animal lover and the care I provide will be noticed. Sometimes people say their dogs not friendly yet ends up loving me regardless of what they say or have experienced with other. Kinda like snow white when it comes to all animals. Recently got 2 rabbits who were dumped and new experience. Amazing to love such small creatures

“I can’t recommend Simone enough! She put me at ease while I was working a 24-hour shift at the hospital, with great communication about how she and Calvin were getting along. Calvin can be nervous around people new to him, but Simone was great with him and allowed him to warm up to her at his speed :) I look forward to having Simone watch Calvin much more this winter. She even managed to capture sweet photos of Calvin; he’s never as photogenic for me! ☺️. Thank you Simone for taking such great care of my main squeeze.”

About: I been fostering and caring for kittens/cats for many years. I also have 4 cats of my own. I absolutely adore all animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very open to being available on my lunch breaks during work, week nights and weekends. I try and be as flexible as possible when I can be. I will give them tons of attention and love - whatever is needed to make them happy and feel loved. I'm happy to follow any rules and instructions you give for them. I know how important it is to keep our fur babies loved and happy :)

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities!! At home I’ve got a sweet tabby cat, a very energetic 100 lb Labrador, and two small but loud and cuddly Chiweenies🤣🤣so I’m used to everything from high-energy dogs to relaxed cats, and both big and small breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and really treat every pet like they’re my own. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them is something I take seriously and enjoy a lot. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle senior care, help staying on a routine, or just a reliable and loving presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.👍🥰 I just graduated college and I’m really looking forward to taking things a little slower this summer. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my life right now. I’d love the chance to spend my time taking care of and keeping company with your pets while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with a lot of flexibility and open availability. I’m available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to house sit and help with small things like taking out the trash, bringing in mail, and keeping things tidy while you’re gone. I’m reliable, calm, and easygoing, and I really do enjoy being around animals—it doesn’t feel like a job to me so much as something I like to do:) I am very cautious, patient, and detail-oriented when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every home with respect, keep doors secured, monitor pets carefully, and do my best to provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel completely at ease.

“Remi is so excited when Alexandra comes for his walks. He is loving the park walk and playtime together. I would recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a walker, pet sitter etc . She is great with him. You can tell how she loves dogs. Alexandra has a great warmth about her. We love having her as now part of our family.”

About: I've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.
