About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I love taking care of them. I can care for all types and sizes. I would treat your animal like they are my own. I do plan on going in to a vet tech program very soon. So I would be able to give care if needed. I currently do not work. So I have plenty of type to take care of your animals. I tend to wake up pretty early, so I would be able to let your animals out early in the morning. I can care for your pet in the way that feels the most comfortable to you. If you would rather them stay out of crates and me play with them or if you want them in a crate. It is all up to you and I will treat them however you want me to.

“Chelsea is awesome!! I will definitely have her watch my cat for my next vacation! Very happy with her communication and updates throughout.”

Pet care, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and grooming, should be integrated into your daily and weekly routine to ensure your pet's well-being and happiness. Establishing a consistent schedule provides predictability and security for your pet, reducing stress and promoting healthy habits. Start the day with feeding, followed by a walk or playtime to expend energy and stimulate your pet. Incorporate short breaks for feeding, playtime, or a quick walk, especially if working from home. Dedicate time for a longer walk, play session, or quiet time for bonding and relaxation. Schedule daily or weekly grooming sessions, depending on your pet's breed and coat type. Maintain a regular feeding schedule to help regulate your pet's digestion and prevent accidents. Bathe your pet every few weeks or as needed. Brush your pet's teeth regularly. Incorporate playtime with toys and games to provide mental and physical stimulation. I Establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I Ensure the home environment is safe and suitable for the pet, free of hazards and with designated spaces for rest and play. I Provide appropriate, healthy food and fresh water at all times. I Offer regular physical and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and training. I Establish clear communication with the client about the pet's routine, needs, and any specific instructions.

I have 2 dogs currently, but have had dogs of all sizes, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, lizards, flying squirrels, and even rats! I dog sit for many family friends. I am energetic, friendly, and very responsible. I make sure your pet is my number one priority when you choose to book my services! I currently have a very flexible schedule and will be able to take care of your pet whenever you need or would like me to! I take my dogs on walks, hikes, runs, and swims. I believe their world is only as big as I make it, so I try to make it the best it can be!

“Caylene came every day as scheduled & took her time trying to find my shy kitties!! Was even able to send a couple pictures. It was a big relief to know we had her to rely on & didn’t have to worry while we were away.”

About: Hi! My name is Cassie I am 25 years young. I have a genuine love for dogs! I have never grew up in a home without one! I am down to do just about anything for an animal whether that is feeding, walking, playing, giving medicine, bathing, you name it and I am there. My love for dogs is what drove me to be on this site. I could not think of a better job to have. I can not wait to see your furry friend! Thank you for considering me for the job! I have the most time mornings and evenings to do extracurricular activities with the fur babies. My husband also helps out and will go on walks mid day when he gets off of work. I live in a house with a backyard for your fur baby to walk, run, potty and play. Plenty of space for your pet to roam!

“I am so pleased with Samantha's care of our Harley while we were in Jamaica for the week. We had a friend staying at the house to care for Harley overnight but had Samantha stop in 2x per day to play with Harley and give him potty breaks while he was working. She kept me informed of everything and sent pics of her boys playing fetch and exercising him. It set my mind at ease knowing he was being cared for and that he was happy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry that he was sad, lonely or bored. Harley loves kids and I'm sure he will miss playing with the boys and Samantha every day!”

About: I was 3 when I owned my first dog, a chihuahua. Ever since, I have owned and cared for many dogs of all types, breeds, ages, activity levels and sizes. I am experienced caring for puppies, including house training. I have also cared for the unique needs of a senior dog, including administering medication. I am an active person so I enjoy walking dogs and/or playing with them so they get their exercise. I have a fairly flexible schedule with my job. Depending on your needs, I can work with you and your pet on a weekly or daily schedule I will respect your wishes regarding your pet and will follow your instructions to the best of my ability. Likewise, I will treat your home with respect and care for it as if it were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and some dogs, currently me and my family have 3 cats and 1 dog. We give our dog homemade dog food. Currently i am taking time off of school, i am available at anytime of any day to take care and love your cat or dog. Every time i get up (around 6-8AM), i refill their water, refill the cats food, do their litter, and prepare my dogs food to feed it to him at 11AM.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

“Kayla sent me dail updates and pictures of Rudy. Would book again”

About: I've been house sitting for friends and family since I was 12. It allowed me to supplement my income and work with the animals that I have loved since a young age. I was a vet tech in high school and during the first few summers in college, gaining small animal medicine and husbandry experience. In addition, I worked at a two different doggy day cares throughout my graduate and undergrad degrees, gaining a lot more experience with dogs and a little bit of dog training. Both of these degrees are also in animal science. I love pets of all kinds and have looked after everything from horses to dogs and cats, to birds. I am new to the area as a recent Penn State hire and don’t have established contacts for dog sitting like I did in the areas that I lived for my degrees. I work full-time but have a fair amount of flexibility to work remotely up to 3 or 4 days a week. If you have a stable wifi connection I will be more available to spend time with your pups although there may still be some days I need to be gone for work for up to 8 hours. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if that is your preference. I will not be boarding dogs as my landlord does not allow pets. I am respectful of your home and space and treat your pets as I would my own!

“Thank you for support and time you spent with Sadie”

Lynn H.

“Jason stayed in touch, completed the "drop in" exactly as we asked, did a great job with 3 dogs with 3 completely different temperments. We recommend Jason and we will trust him with our dogs again.”
