Dog Walking Shelly

About: Hello! I'm a marketing professional who works from home and things can get quite dull and lonely here. I've always loved animals and would love to break up my day by spending time with your pets. I majored in animal science and worked as a veterinary nurse for a year. I also have experience working in a dog grooming salon. I've been around all types of animals since I was young. I currently volunteer at Last Chance Ranch! My job is fairly flexible and I'm able to step out for walk or petting breaks! I can also bring my laptop and work from your home. I try to stick to routines to keep them happy and comfortable. I make sure to go over any preferences and limitations beforehand and treat them like my own.

“Jax was super patient and understanding with my pup and his quirks (mine has a few of them!). She really put forth a lot of effort to ask questions and understand my expectations for walks. Very sweet and easy to work with.”

“Kaylyn did great and was more than accommodating to my dog during her visit. She sent picture updates and made sure I was informed of every step. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a piece of mind experience.”

Ben H.

“Gwen is great! She responds quickly, is reliable, and my pup star loves her. I receive updates after each walk with how Zoey did on her walk and how she ate. I appreciate the time she spends making sure Zoey feels loved while I'm at work.”

About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goats, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, fish, pigs, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. Currently working 4-5 days a week at a dental office and usually at least every Sunday morning at a yoga studio although sometimes I work a few hours in the morning on Saturday too. I attend college Monday and Wednesday in the late morning/early afternoon but I am very flexible with check ins! I often can check in before work or school and after and always communicate with you to see that your pets' needs are being met! I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.

“Rebecca IS THE BEST!!! She has helped me tremendously this summer so far with my pup. I am so grateful for her.

About: We are a family who LOVES animals. We have a dog of our own, and pet sit in our home for 2 others as well. We have been active pet sitters for away visits through Trusted Housesitters for the last 5 years. We’d come as a group - either me and my son (13) or me and my daughter (11) as they work on earning money and saving up for future expenses while working with a parent. They will be fully supervised & will assist me. We’re a hybrid homeschool family who has more flexibility than most! We are most available on Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays during the day. Over the summer, we are around most Mondays-Fridays and occasional weekends as well. We would follow your lead with best practices for your pets in your home. We will treat your home and animals with utmost respect and follow the guidelines you’ve set up for them.

About: 4 years of experience + 2 happy pups of my own! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family and love making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m currently going to school and working my part time job when I can. I am pretty flexible during the week and available throughout the weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and a cozy, safe space to relax. I have half an acre for pups to run around as well as a walking path across the street. I also have the best yellow lab girl. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I make sure they feel loved and cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 7 years now, as well as taking care of my own. I watch family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I walk and play with them and give my dog baths. I am a college student so this is a perfect job for me! I have a lot of free time during the weekends and during the week I have a hour lunch break everyday and get done class at 2-2:30 most days, this is a perfect job for me. I am very observant and will keep the pets occupied. I can feed and crate them if necessary and make sure they get enough exercise during the time that I am with them.

“Kaity’s was very friendly and responsive and took the time to make sure she was a good fit for our two dogs, especially with our new puppy. It’s very obvious that she loves dogs and is very knowledgeable. They had a great walk with Katie and she even gave me some pointers on helping our puppy as she learned the ropes.”

About: I have been working with dogs and cats since 2018. I began by working at a grooming/doggy daycare center. Here I learned to watch for aggressive behavior, how to deal with aggressiveness, giving oral medicine, bathing, caring for senior dogs, helping dogs socialize, learning puppy behavior and correcting, and so on. I loved working here because my family pet was unfortunately a victim of an aggressive groomer and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew I would not allow anything to happen to their pets if I can help it. I moved to NC where I continued to work with pets part time, mostly doing overnight stays. I have recently moved to PA and would love to continue to do this part time! I am not employed at the moment as I just moved to PA. I am looking for a pt job and looking to start school but at the moment I don’t have many things that keep me busy. Working at the grooming facility has taught me a lot about being cautious of animal behavior whether that’s from across the street or the pet in holding on a leash. During playtime we never had a big fight and have thankfully been able to stop anything from progressing into something dangerous.

About: For the past five years, I have provided trusted pet sitting and house sitting services for family members and friends, caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, administering medication, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for others' pets, I am the proud owner of a friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, giving me firsthand experience with daily exercise, training reinforcement, grooming, and overall pet wellness. I also grew up in a household with family dogs and cats, which helped foster my lifelong love of animals and understanding of their needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care that gives pet parents peace of mind. As of currently, I work full-time so I can do things later in the evenings or on weekends. I however, would like to build and grow my client base to be able to make this more full-time and expand my service hours to truly cater to clients and their needs. I am currently working on fencing in my yard. I have a 5 year old golden retriever named Wrangler that would love some company and would keep your pets busy! I can crate your pet as needed if preferred.

“Giavanna is super great to work with! She was very understanding and accommodating about my change of schedule. She was very helpful and communicative throughout the booking process and the visits. My dog also seems to always have a good time with her!”

“My dogs get very excited to see her and go for their walk.”
