House Sitting in Steinsville

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.

About: I have been house sitting and watching animals since I have been in middle school. I have also had a dog since I was in kindergarten with my family adopting a new puppy there years ago which I helped train. I am a college student taking a summer class at Lebanon Valley College which leaves me free all day on the weekends and on Wednesdays in which there is no class. I am also available to stop by for a bit in the evenings after class lets out. I love playing with dogs and would love to any type of dog on a walk/run and promise that I will be able to tire out the dog before I do. I very familiar with how to clean up after pets and will maintain a safe and clean environment

“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”

“For the first time ever, our cat wasn't traumatized by our vacation so Khadijah has my high recommendation! She kept trying to make friends with our antisocial kitty, took good care of him, our bird feeding, our plants and our home. She reported daily with photos which I really appreciated. She's responsible and caring and I'm grateful to her!”

“Molly did a fantastic job watching my dogs! It was wonderful to be able to leave the area and feel our dogs are in good hands. She had great communication and we will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. As a professional coach, I am responsible, attentive, and skilled at creating positive experiences while keeping safety a top priority. I'm comfortable with walking, exercise, feeding, administering basic care instructions, and providing companionship. My active lifestyle allows me to keep up with energetic dogs while also being patient and attentive with older pets. I previously cared for my own dogs and have hands on experience with daily walks, feeding, exercise, and companionship. I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets and strive to provide safe, dependable, and attentive care for every dog I work with. As a professional pickleball coach, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable walks and pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and treating each pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain the pet's normal routine. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and companionship while ensuring the home is respected and left exactly as I found it. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

“This was our 2nd time having Sheila stay with our hyper and energetic pit mix. She was responsive, clean, and every helped with other household things (skimmed pool, watered garden). Our pup takes medication which was given as prescribed. Sheila sent photos and updates and I felt very at ease knowing our house and pup were in good hands. We will definitely be using Sheila again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve worked with children and pets since I was 16! I’m originally from Iowa where I was an ABA Therapist for children with autism, and then I would go home and take care of private clients pets needs! It’s an extremely fun job all day long, and I love dogs, so it’s a fun perk! Currently own my own business, and then do sales during the day! It’s fun, but needing to decompress is real. Thankfully taking care of dogs helps with that! I’m free all time on weekends, and very flexible on weekday. I’m very flexible, as long as you can be flexible with me! When I do my meet and greet with you and the pets, I like to know everything! I’m willing to do side jobs at your house while I’m with the pets as well! I’m very clean, and am respectful of belongings

“Syd was absolutely wonderful. We’ve had some rocky experiences in the past with pet sitters but Syd put us right at ease. She was truly a magical human and our animals and home were well taken care of. Absolutely recommend for others and will definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Syd!!”

“Michelle was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She let us know when she arrived and gave them lots of love. She sent us pictures and updates of our guys. She was great and we plan on using her again.”

Annemarie C.

“You can always tell a good fur babysitter by how your pets are when you get back. Our 3 were relaxed, happy to see us, but with no signs of anxiety. They were well cared for, and we can’t thank her enough! Officially Auntie Bianca!”

About: I am 24 years old and am looking for extra work this summer. I love animals and I have had dogs my entire life ranging in sizes. I’ve had pugs and a shih tzu as well as a black lab and a cane corso. I also have had several cats so I’m equipped and comfortable with them as well. I have multiple different handling experiences with different dogs with different temperaments. I have also taken multiple handling and training classes with a dog trainer. I prefer the smaller dogs but love them all and would give your pets the best experience. I love dogs and cats and am excited to get to know you and any of your pets. I am currently in the process of job hunting, so currently I have full open availability! I will update my availability if anything does change! While I do not do pet sitting in my house, I can assure that I will treat yours with the same respect I treat mine.

“Renee is a gem. I almost don’t want to give her a good review so no one snatches her up! But here I am doing the right thing. Super sweet and clearly loves my dogs who get along great with her. Will definitely be booking with her any time I’m going away!”

About: Growing up, I cared for my own pets and neighbors’ dogs and cats. I’ve raised two puppies, cared for a kitten, and looked after my 15 year old senior dog. In college, I started house sitting and caring for pets while owners were away. (I have plenty of references if you'd like one as well). I recently graduated college and work remotely Tuesday-Friday, so pet sitting is the perfect fit. I am around to help almost all of this summer! I treat every dog or cat like my own. Recently, I’ve been providing overnight, in home care for pets while their owners are on vacation, and I’m also available for full day stays if needed. I try and leave the home as clean as possible:) I am open to house chores as well!

“Deanna is a GEM, and I am over the moon that she took such good care of my dog. In fact, my neighbor told me how she saw Deanna walking my dog and saw her "taking great care of him". Wow! I can't wait to book her in the future. Highly recommended”

About: For 13 years, I helped take care of and watch over our beautiful family dog. She loved to play in the yard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. Since then, I have attained more animal experience by house-sitting a friend's dog and cat for a weekend, as well as walking a dog almost every day for two years. I ran track at the University of Florida, and love fitness of any kind. I snowboard and hike regularly and can't wait for summer! Living in CA, watching or walking a dog is the perfect way to get me outside and exploring. Additionally, I am a good listener and follow instructions very well. Your dog will be loved, walked (or even run!) and overall, be in great hands. I’m currently working from home so I am very flexible when it comes to taking the dog out for potty breaks, walking, and playing with your dog! I have a fenced in backyard, where I often sit, read and eat. It’s perfect for any dogs to hang outside! I’m also close to parks and hiking trails.
