About: Happy to help with all your animal care needs! Even shy animals seem to take to me quickly. I have house sat for entire homestead farms, caring for ducks, cows, dozens of cats and chickens. I have always felt very connected to the natural world and have a great empathy for all creatures great and small. I began training and caretaking my own dogs at age 10. I fostered for years as an adult before adopting my Hawaiian rescue dog. Friends and family have relied on me to assist with their pets a lot in the past few years. My very social and intelligent Border Collie has assisted me in training several puppies, helped to socialize shy dogs and taught dogs to swim. I work evenings and am happy to help with your pets during the day. I may be available day of - go ahead and send a request! I carry all clearances required for school teaching ( I also work in education) so I am a very safe choice :) I am very good at following your detailed instructions on how to best care for your pet.

I have over 20 years of experience raising dogs and caring for my neighbors' cats.I also volunteered at the Humane League of Lancaster County. That experience taught me how to handle all types of dog breeds, sizes, and behaviors safely.Since I do not host dogs at my house, my full focus is on visiting your pets. I promise to keep your furry family members safe, happy, and well-cared for while you are away! My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week. I am available for morning and afternoon visits Monday through Saturday, as well as Sunday afternoons. I am usually available from 6am-5pm. Background Checked: Fully verified and background-checked by Rover for your peace of mind. Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry instructions, lock all doors, and keep gate latches secure. Double-Check Routine: I always double-check that appliances are off and water bowls are full before leaving. Clean Environment: Litter boxes are scooped daily and accidents are cleaned up immediately using pet-safe cleaners.

About: I have been a neighborhood dog walker / pet sitter since childhood. I worked at a professional dog groomer / pet sitter’s business for over half a decade. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, providing care everywhere from huge yards to small city apartments. I love all animals as well, so I will care for and love your other pets too :) I work usually 9-6 schedule, so I could do morning visits, evening visits and lunchtime visits, but I am open and flexible to coordinate days and times you need. I am available usually anytime Sundays / Mondays as they are my days off. I can take your pets for walks anywhere out and about! I am comfortable spending time with them in your home, playing with them in the yard, taking them to the park - whatever you prefer!

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

“Bethany is great! Was a huge help when I was in a pinch while moving. She’s very thoughtful and attentive about my dog. It feels good knowing she’s in good hands.”

“Rachel has been waking our dog on and off for about a year, and she is always reliable! She is helping to train our pup to walk better on a leash. We highly recommend her as a dog walker!”

About: I have taken care of families dogs and my own dogs since I was 8-9. I have stayed at someone’s home to watch their animals(cats, ferret, parrot, dogs) and I have also done drop in visits. I currently have a dog and cat of my own as well! I work full time as a nanny, but I’d love to provide weekend or evening care for your pets and will provide them all the care they need while you are away! I can come by to your home and crate your dog after walks if need be and follow all instructions to make your animal feel safe and secure within their home.

“Warm, patient, friendly”

About: I've taken care of my friends cats and dogs and have done house sitting locally for a few years. I always enjoy making new furry friends. Pet sitting, along with making art is my main gig so my schedule is very flexible. I try to plan pet sitting 1-2 weeks in advance. I am very observant and will cater to your specific needs. Pets require love and attention. Give me detailed directions and I will follow them to the best of my ability.

“Bridget cared for our dog while we were away and did an excellent job. She even volunteered to come over before we left to meet our dog. She communicated about each visit and was very easy to work with. We will definitely book with her again!”

Lisa K.

“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

Ellie E.

“Rachel came to our home today to meet Orla and enjoy some time walking around our retirement community and nature trails. At the end of the walk we returned to our home and chatted briefly before Rachel got into her car. Orla and I walked to the house when she suddenly turned around looking for Rachel. Orla raced back to the car for a last good-bye cuddle and kisses after jumping into Rachel's arms. By that simple action Rachel captured our hearts and certainly Orla's!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my family dogs since I was a kid! We have always had large dogs and cats. I am currently caring for 2 yellow labs and a cat. I have helped raise the two yellow labs since they were puppies and rescued my cat when she was 5 years old. I frequently take my dogs for walks, transport them to the vet, give them medication when necessary, and occasionally take the to get puppachinos! I currently have open availability! I will be starting optometry school toward the end of August so I am open to any long term or short term care. I can easily transport dogs and cats, crate them if necessary, and give them any medication. I have cared for dogs with fenced yards and without fenced yards.

“Liana and Cody got along great. I appreciate the extra attention she gave to him. He's such a lover he ate it right up.”

Cindy S.

“Julie is great with our dog Sasha! She is super prompt and we’ve had nothing but great experiences. She is kind, professional, and reliable. Highly recommend her!”

About: Along with being the go-to petsitter and dog walker for my neighbors, friends, and family, I have professional pet care experience through Gochenauer Pet Resort as a kennel attendant, dog walker, and playtime supervisor. I have learned through both experience and training courses such as Dog Handler Academy. I work evenings, so morning and daytime pet care is ideal for me. The more time I spend around animals, the happier I am, so I am hoping to fill as much free time as possible with pet time. I am unable to use my home to house pets (as my own cat is uncomfortable with other animals) but I am happy to come to your house and meet your pets where they are.
