Dog Walkers in Shelocta, PA

About: For the past 3, years I have stayed over at a family friends home and watched their dog. I have also watched my neighbors dog before. My family does not have a dog, so I love being able to spend time and give love to someone’s else when they are not able to! My best friend has a cat and dog. Whenever she works crazy hours, I will go over and feed her pets for her and take her dog on a walk. I am currently a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My class on thursday does not start until 2pm so I am available in the mornings. I work part time at walmart. At walmart I work Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7-4 so I am available after that. Other than that, I am pretty much available whenever! When at someone’s else’s home, I keep an eye on their pet so that way I know where they are at and that they are not getting into any trouble. As previously stated, my family does not own any type of pet. However, I have watched dogs before for family friends and neighbors.

About: Had a farm before I had a phone. I’m Sarah—a funny, outgoing animal lover who’s been surrounded by fur, feathers, and shells since I was 7. I’ve cared for everything from horses to hamsters, and I treat every animal like family. I currently work 3 nights a week at a hospital. I have FOMO, so I still make time during my days to do what i love, which keeps the rest of my week wide open & fun! I have a fenced in yard, and currently no pets of my own after the passing of my cat Tucker, who i shared 11 years with. However you treat/have trained your animals, i will respect that & do the same with them while you’re away!

About: I have a chocolate lab named Jaso, I also have 3 cats (Blake, Bootsie, and Kaia). 🐶🐱 I’m currently at IUP studying Biology and Animal Behavior, so this is my passion. My goal is to create lasting relationships with my clients and their fur babies, and put your mind at ease while they are in my care. Hopefully we’ll get the opportunity to meet! 😊 Being in school can be flexible, so I can be there early, mid-day, evenings; whatever works for your pet’s routine. I’m also available to sit with them, or stay with them if needed. My dog has been trained to stay in our yard, he also responds to a vibrate and beep on his collar; I do walk him on a leash as well. He was crate trained as well, but now sleeps in his dedicated recliner! I love giving dogs their freedom; but I also understand excitement, fear, and the urge to take off. My cats are spoiled with cat trees, toys, and treats; they have self-feeders and enjoy drinking from the bathtub!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was younger. I’m very passionate for animals and love caring for them! I have 2 dogs and they are my world. I also have trained puppies ! I currently am at home full time in college. I have had dogs and puppies my whole life and have a fenced in yard for them to play in . I have 2 dogs in my home that love other dogs. Max is a 1 year old german shepard and pepper is a 3 year old mini aussie.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Big or small, I’ve cared for them all ❤️ I will treat your fur baby like the angel they are! I work from home full time so I have time to help your pet with potty breaks, play time, feeding time, anything! My dog rated me 10/10 stars, so I think I do a pretty good job 😊 I have an open yard but multiple leads & will provide constant supervision. I also have loads of leashes & tons of love to give. Whatever your pet needs!

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pets professionally and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have cared for and have had a variety of pets and have the skills to train your new puppy or care for your senior in a loving and professional way. I am a stay at home dog mom so I will care for your fur baby day or night. They will receive a lot of love and attention and interaction with other fur babies as well as training if requested. Your pets will receive the care that you would expect from a caregiver with plenty of attention, regular outdoor exercise, love and affection in a safe environment.

“Kayla was wonderful with my pup Arlo! I had to leave town for a week and he needed someone to walk him in the middle of the day, and she was great about communicating with me regarding how he was doing during the week. She also was prompt to initiate a meet and greet before I hired her, and she was calm and patient as Arlo became comfortable with her. I will definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”

“Jereann was great! She was very fast and timely with her responses. I contacted her on a days notice and was very flexible with my modifying my request. She sent pictures and treated my dogs with great care. She sent many pictures and is very thorough with care. We definitely will see you again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. All of my family owns a pup (or a few), and not to toot my own horn, but I’m always the go-to pooch auntie when visiting. Give me all the slobbers and toys, I’ll play just as much as them!!! My first job was as a dog groomer, soothing anxious or wild pups to cranky old woofers. 😆 I’ve dog sat for chihuahuas, pit bull mixes and Dalmatians. There is no dog too small, too large or too air headed (I’ve had my fair share of disoriented huskies running about the shop, only love to you)!!! I’m my schedule is currently quite flexible as I’m predominantly working online. I love going for walks and am available to do so at any point between 8am-8pm! I offer all other services, all you need to do is ask and share the times, and I’ll work with you to see if it would be a good fit for you and your pooch! I currently live in a two story apartment with two kitties. I am more than willing to stay with your pooch in their preferred and comfortable space, but am open to offering space if need-be and there are no discrepancies with my fur babies! (They are a bit skittish around bigger dogs, but have been around large dogs without issues before during past sitting experiences and when I travel with them to visit family)!

“She’s awesome!!”

About: I have extensive pet experience, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my life. Currently, I'm raising two shepherds and three cats. I've trained my own pets and have also helped family members with training. Additionally, I've provided care for pets while their owners are on vacation, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need. My hands-on experience with various breeds makes me well-equipped to care for your furry friends! I work as a family-based therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with animals, whether it’s walking, caring for, playing with, or training them. My job provides me the opportunity to balance my professional responsibilities with my passion for animals, ensuring that I can give your pets the attention and care they deserve. In terms of safety, trust, and environment, I prioritize creating a secure and comfortable space for pets in my home or my clients' homes. For in-home care, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe area for pets to play and explore. I also use room separators to ensure that pets remain in designated areas, and I have kennels available if needed for their comfort and security. I come prepared with my own leashes and have prior experience handling various situations to ensure the pets' safety. This allows me to guide pets effectively and manage any potential challenges that may arise. My focus is always on creating a trustworthy environment where pets feel at ease while receiving the care they need.

II’m excited to dog or puppy sit and get to know more people in my community I am currently a stay at home mom, December I will be returning to work but I plan on only working part time. Thank you I have 2 local parks I visit and one has a dog park. I also have a fenced in yard at my apartment we spend a lot of time in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/ cats my whole life. You’re animals would be in good hands and loved so much. They would never not be attended to I just love animals and giving them affection because they deserve that too. I can work any time you need me, they are more than welcome to stay at my place or I can travel to you I do drive and have my license! I do not have a yard because of the school apartment, but I will always walk your dog and go to a park near by and just have lots of fun with your fur babies.

“5/5 stars! Alex has been very patient with our older pup and has been very flexible with our schedule!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 12 and have house sit/walked/let out my friends and families dogs for years. I love taking care of them like they are my own as I don’t have any pets living with me now. I don’t work all summer long. I travel most weekends but am available during the week all day. I am off of work until August 1 and then my schedule doesn’t allow for much flexibility. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. There is plenty of room for dogs to use the bathroom and go for walks on the leash. I allow pets on my furniture but if that’s not what you do in your household I will implement the same rules you use. No matter how friendly your dog is, I won’t allow other dogs to approach since I don’t know many of the dogs in my complex. I do not hit dogs as a reprimand at any time so please tell me what methods you’re comfortable with me using instead if needed. Honestly, if there’s anything specific you can feel free to ask for it or question me if you need!

“Haley has been great! She was quick to respond and helped us out in a pinch. She’s very attentive, patient, and sweet with our dog Oscar. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life so I know what all needs to be done and parents have relied on me to take care of our animals. I have also dog/cat sat for my neighbors multiple times every year. I’m reliable to take them on walks, feed them, and all of that. I am a current student at IUP but only have one class a day with multiple online on top of two part time jobs but my schedule is very flexible so I’d be able to spend more time with your animals if you’d prefer! If your dogs need to be crated I can easily do that, if they need to be walked can do that. Whatever you’d need done for them Id be able to do since I’ve grown up with two german shepherds my whole life.
