I am currently taking a gap year from college and have full availability and plenty of time to take care of your furry friends . I have a fenced in yard for our animals and all have been leash, e-collar, recall, and crate trained and I can follow any specific requests to the best of my availability.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. Neighbors and family relied on me to care for their fur babies like I would care for mine. I’m currently part-time as a photographer, so I have time to care for your pets. I can pet sit the weekends and during the weekdays. I have no fenced yard, but I always go outside with them for company and safety. I do playtimes and I do walks with schedules; such as they have a feeding time, walking in certain time of the day, etc.

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life. I grew up on a farm and I prefer animals over people. I can train any pet I’m currently working a full time job. My weekends are free and my evenings are completely open. I get off between 4pm and 6pm depending on the week day I have a small apartment but it stays clean and tidy. I have no yard but lots of grass and sidewalk around my apartment. I will always play with your pet and make sure there is food, water, and no messes.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember having grown up with dogs in my home since age 5. I have experience with large dogs such as husky shepherds and small dogs such as teacup yorkies. I have experience with dogs with dietary needs, allergies, anxiety, and diabetes I currently work from home all but one day a month. I work 8:30a-4:30p so I can accommodate different schedules as needed. My availability can be altered for your needs I have plenty of experience crating and walking dogs of all sizes.

“Giselle was great with my fur kids! She was able to accommodate a visit with short notice, and kept me updated with how the visit went while I was away. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in good hands and came home to happy, cared for dogs!”


About: I gave been around dogs and cats for 16 years! My neighbors, family members, and friends always relied on me to take wonderful care of their pets! I have a part time job, but if you let me know ahead of time I will not schedule myself to work and be available to take care of your pets. I always let my dog out and walk him, make sure he always have water and food. I love to walk dogs and make sure to watch for other pets to see if they are friendly or not.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my 32 years of experience, beginning in my teenage years when I cared for neighbors’ dogs. As a dog owner myself, I hold myself to high standards and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Due to working in a school full time, I have the most availability in the summer and winter breaks. In addition, I am available evenings for drop ins and weekends for house sitting. At the present time, I am not offering boarding- but this is subject to change. My three year old golden retriever lives with me and is always eager to make new friends, ensuring a fun and social environment for your dog. Based in NEPA, I focus on providing personalized, loving care for each dog I look after. I look forward to hearing from you! As someone who loves pets and takes great pride in caring for my own, pet care is always a top priority in my daily routine. When it comes to your pet, it becomes my first obligation as well. I follow a strict feeding schedule for my one dog—once at 7 a.m. and again at 5 p.m; meanwhile, my other dog is a graze eater and has food in her dish 24/7. We also dedicate at least an hour to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, relaxing while watching TV, or playing with stuffed animals, sometimes more often than not a lot more than an hour. Rest assured, your pet will receive all the care and love they deserve! I prioritize a consistent schedule and routine for both my pets and client pets, which includes regular feeding, playtime, relaxation, and walks. Safety is my top priority, and I ensure that your pet is well cared for in a secure environment. In my home or yours, I have crates, multiple rooms, and gates available to provide space for pets to relax if they need some time alone or if they become too rambunctious. Rest assured, your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well attended to while in my care. I do like to create a more homey environment for my pets and dogs I watch, which sets me apart from kennel life.

“Emili was wonderfully patient with our cat, who did not dare show his face to her. Despite our cat's shyness, Emili made sure that he was well fed and taken care of. We're so grateful to her and thanks to her care we came home to a cat who missed us quite a bit. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy, Emili! :)”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I’m around 10 years old. I myself have a yellow lab and a German shepherd along with 2 cats. I myself have personally trained both. I’m the person who is always out helping look for lost animals. Somehow lost animals also end up on my front porch looking for a way in. My son and I always stop to pet someone’s dog. I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to animals. Currently home for the summer not working. Available 24/7. No vacation plans. Large fenced in yard. Love to take my lab for walks/swims if your dog likes water. I’m up with my animals at 6 am for feedings and outside time. I would wake up when they wake up to take to the bathroom and feed. I’m usually up with my own animals around 6 am. Lots of playtime and fetch. Snuggles and treats. Walks.

I have no issue with particular instructions, and will follow any rules you have in place for your dog I work full time on 1st shift, Monday to Friday, so I will be available evenings. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be available all day/night! I have a fenced yard and two dogs at my home. Most likely, our dogs will be separated at all times, even though mine are friendly. I would rather stay on the safe side. But I will treat your animal as my own while in my care. Giving them all the attention, love, and time they need while you're away.

“We were so happy to have Jasmine! We were gone for the holidays and she made sure to keep our cats very happy while we were away. With lots of photos each day and the little updates she sent, we felt very secure in being away from the house. She did a great job :)”

I am a full time student and enjoy a happy work life balance, so you know your pet will get the care and attention they need. I do not offer inhome services. I have a dog of my own who can get a bit over rambunctious with other dogs in my home.

About: Hi my name is Hannah! I love animals more than I love most humans! I have years of experience and references available upon request! I’d love to take care of your furry family for you while you’re away! I work full time from home, so I am rather available quickly and efficiently. Shoot me a message and I can accommodate to your wants and needs. I have a fenced in yard, but I know dogs prefer to stay on their own home so I am open to accommodating whatever they need.

About: I was raised with many pets, including 2 dogs. A pit bull and a shitzu mix. We raised kittens to find them their forever home. I bottle fed and nursed puppies that were without their mother. I learned the value of money by walking my Aunt's shitzu until I started high school. I naturally had an unspeakable connection with animals my whole life. I couldn't ever imagine my life without them. As of right now, our home is being ran by 4 dogs: Coach, Stella, Winnie, and Sage. And 2 cats: Sunny and Ash. Our backyard is big and fenced in. We let them out for an hour or so to get playtime and exercise in. Taking them for walks is not a good idea because Winnie can be reactive. We crate all of our dogs. They eat separately in their crates. Feeding instructions will be left in our refrigerator so they get their adequate amount. They also have slow feeding bowls.
