“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”
“I could tell that Marley was cared for. He was full of energy and happy when I went to pick him up. I was told that their dog will miss Marley and that’s the kind of impression I love hearing about him.”
“Jacky had a great time staying with De'Andra & Robert while I was on a work trip. De'Andra sent many pictures and kept me updated on how Jacky was doing. Jacky felt right at home and got along very well with their dogs Crosby and Spyder. Such a great experience, I highly recommend De'Andra and Robert!”
“Bobbi was amazing and one of a kind. I have no worries when she watched my baby boy. She kept me updated with photos, open communication, and shared videos throughout the few days which made my mama's heart worry less. I will not hesitate to rebook her. I joked that I wanted to stay because of her welcoming, sweet presence. Absolutely genuinely will rebook Bobbi. Chance will be so happy to come play with her 2 little lovely girls again!”
“I DEFINITELY recommend Angel and will rebook with her if I need boarding in the future. Angel was responsive to all messages and seemed like she really loves dogs. She sent pictures during his stay and he seemed like he had enjoyed himself when I came by to pick him up. Thanks Angel for taking care of my Denim on such short notice.”
“Gage always enjoys his stays with Pam & Mike! He loves hanging out with the other dogs and he comes home very tired. We can tell he is well cared for while we are away.”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“Could not have been happier with Anton. My dog is shy and anxious, and Anton did a great job of both taking care of him and making sure that my dog felt safe and secure enough to socialize. We were provided updates and pictures (which were incredible). Also, when our flight was delayed, Anton was kind enough to watch my dog for a few extra hours. It made a stressful situation much easier to handle. My dog's bedding was even freshly washed when I picked him up. I would highly recommend boarding your pet with Anton. I will definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Layla was well cared for and was very content during her stay with Letisia and the family. We enjoyed seeing the daily pics sent and were very pleased to see Layla relaxed and comfy.”
“Heather is an excellent sitter who loves dogs. She watched our 2 babies and they seemed happy and well cared for. Heather sent pictures to us every day. It helped us to know our babies were doing well. This is our first experience with Heather, She will be our first choice in sitter when we look for somewhere to keep our pups when we are out of town.”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Rodger is amazing. We have a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who is HIGH energy and very large. Rodger was wonderful, sending frequent text and photo updates of our dog's care. Our dog got great care and came back happy! We have used Rodger before and we will continue to use him!”
“Heather and her family are the absolute best! We feel totally comfortable when Brady is in her care and can enjoy our vacation to the fullest. She also sends the cutest pics. :) Thank you so much Heather!”
“We had an amazing experience with David and his family. ! This was the first time leaving our dog which can be stressful, but they took fantastic care of Halley. We really appreciated the daily updates and cute photos, and it was clear she was getting plenty of love and exercise. Halley came home happy, healthy, and wonderfully exhausted. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter!"”

“Katlyn was wonderful! She completed three drop-in visits for us while we were out of town on vacation. We were nervous about leaving our cats without their usual help, but Katlyn made us feel completely at ease. She gave us detailed information about each visit and plenty of pictures, which were so nice. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've always had dogs and cats in our home growing up, and I have more than 30 years of pet-care experience, from puppies and kittens to elder-pet care. I have 2 cats and 1 dog that live in our house. Zoey is my dog, Archie and Theo are 2 orange cats and are brothers. I have more than enough rooms if your pet needs their own space, I can even give them their own room if necessary. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs, to ensure that they have a safe and happy time.
About: I have had a minimum of 2 cats in my house for the last 16 years. I love all of their different personalities-from sweet to spicy. While I was recently a manager at a dog daycare for 5 years before moving states, I always came home to my 2 cats, Stormi and Bolt. I would absolutely love to take care of your precious fur babies!!
About: I have several pets of my own. Over the years I have volunteered with shelters as well as taking care of my own animals. I have dealt with bigger dogs, small dogs, and lots of cats! I love animals and will do whatever I can to ensure a happy and healthy environment! I currently work part time over the summers in Pennsylvania and go to school in Ohio over the rest of the year. I can work in both places, it just depends on what time of year. My account will have my area provided for which one for whichever time of year. Normally I have a 8 hour shift, I do have a couple days off a week and still have plenty of time before and after work to take care of animals. I also have my lunch break. I will follow whatever instructions are provided by the client. I will stick to any dietary needs, exercise needs, and any attention needs the animal has. I am willing to clean litter boxes if it is a cat and obviously I will pick up after a dog on a walk. I keep a very close eye on the animal(s) and make it my primary focus when taking care of them.
“They always take great care of my cats. I feel at easy knowing my babies are safe. My cat made friends with their male cat, and the chocolate lab Padme is so sweet! Will return.”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing attentive and loving care while their owners were away. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications (if required), walking, playing, and ensuring the dogs' overall well-being. I have a strong understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. I also make it a priority to follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs or special routines. Through my dog sitting experience, I have developed excellent communication skills with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday/Friday. My work hours are typically from 6AM until 3:30/4 PM. I can easily care for dogs after work, as well as before if an overnight is requested. I have 2 Golden retrievers myself, so I am used to playing fetch for hours as long as nice walks at the end of the day.
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
About: IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). I’ve had considerable experience with cats and other pets — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting (so far I’ve done house sitting for friends). I’m a calm, patient person, and cats really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so your cat isn’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy cats the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a cat’s nervous, I’ll speak softly and let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my cats feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat!
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Great experience with amber ! Last minute booking , she came right over and introduced herself. Was on time for every visit. Did extra with our pups , truly went above and beyond. If you are looking to book with somebody , Amber is your go to. Very communicative , very knowledgeable, and passionate about all of our four legged babies ! Will be booking again !!!”
About: I’ve taken care and lover of cats my entire life. Experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, and liter box maintenance. Experienced with multi cat households, shy cats, and cats with dietary needs
About: Hello, I’m Destiny! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Wildlife Biology, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and the importance of providing compassionate, attentive care to every animal I meet. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves adventure, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a pet who simply enjoys a consistent routine and lots of affection, I take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As both an educator and animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I pride myself on creating a safe, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I enjoy spending time outdoors, making walks and adventures fun and engaging, while also respecting the routines and comfort levels that help pets feel at home. ❤️ I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away stress free while ensuring your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐶🐱 Availability: ✨ 🌅🍃🦋 I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins at anytime and am willing to stay overnight, as well as evenings. Weekends are fully open and flexible for walks, playtime, or overnight care! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and deeply cared for like they’re in their own little sanctuary. I approach each animal with patience and gentleness, allowing them to build trust at their own pace and always honoring their unique personality. I create a calm, nurturing space where they can relax, play, and be themselves, keeping their routines consistent so everything feels familiar and comforting. From cozy rest spots and mindful walks to soft words and loving attention.
About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.

About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.
“Jaydeep was absolutely amazing with our dog! We left our pup with him for 8 days, and he went above and beyond to keep us updated every single day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dog was under his care. You can tell Jaydeep truly loves and understands dogs — he treated ours like his own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again!”

About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.
“Bentley absolutely loves spending time with this amazing family and their sweet dog! After they cared for him for nine days while I was in Florida, I truly started considering them his second family. So when I needed a day trip out of town, there was no question where he was going. It gives me so much peace knowing he’s not just being watched — he’s genuinely loved and having the best time. Highly recommend!”
“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”
“Rosa and her family are so amazing! We had an emergency and she was able to book immediately. We don’t live in the area either so this was a big help! Also, my dog does not get along with bigger dogs, usually. But he loved her dog, Franca! if I could give her 1 million stars, I would. 💖. Thank you for saving our day!”
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”
“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”
“David is very patient and caring, great petsitter for your dog, He listens to your detailed instructions for doggie daycare and I'm sure for boarding as well. My Jovie got lots of exercise in fenced in backyard and very nice neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your dog during the day and evening. I had no worries leaving him at his house, sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything.”
“Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!”

“My dog spent 3 days of daycare with Elizabeth and she was more and more excited to get out of the car and run into her house each day. She came home tired after a good day of playing and it was clear she was well taken care of and had fun.”
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries.

About: I live in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. I worked in a Boarding and Grooming Facility for the last 2 years, so I have experience with all breeds and personalities, senior pets and puppies/kittens. I do not believe that there is an aggressive breed. I am efficient in administering medicines properly, including insulin and other injectible medicines. I currently have 7 dogs and 7 cats. (I have a diabetic cat with kidney failure, so I have experience with difficult medical conditions.) I've had dogs and cats for 8+ years. I live on a farm so I'm always on the go. I love playing fetch or tug of war, going for walks or anything else active, but I also enjoy lounging on the couch with my pets as well. My favorite breed is the Labrador Retriever, but I love all the other breeds as well!
“Kat is AMAZING! She got back to me immediately and was so kind about my dog mom anxieties. She sent pictures and videos and gave my dogs so much attention! They already love her and we’ll definitely be using her again!!!”
About: I've taken care of young and old dogs. I've watched family pets for years and have spent a lot of care on specialized research around animals to ensure I give them the best care I can. I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

I’m available all day on weekends and holidays, depending on my schedule. I’m able to pet-sit in the client’s home.

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
“Destiny is a genuine and very caring person who LOVES animals. From the moment my dogs met her, they were all over her and she knew exactly how to speak to and handle them. We took them to a nearby dog park where she was very attentive to them, and made sure to be as inquisitive with me as possible to ensure she makes good decisions when handling the poochies. Thank you Destiny for being such a delight!”
About: Hi! I’m Christine, and I’m so happy you’re here! 😊 Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and being a pet sitter is truly something I love.

About: I was never allowed a dog as a kid, so I took any opportunity to walk and dog sit my neighbors and family’s dog. I lived with my cousin for 5 years who has a 60 pound St. Bernard mix. And we shared all doggie duties! I am currently unemployed, healing from an Achilles tendon surgery, and work on boats when I am working. I have a wide open schedule and an amazing partner who helps. I am super active even in recovery, and your dogs are part of my healing process! I am very respectful of everyone’s home, and follow all rules set. For example; if there’s no sitting on the furniture, there’s no sitting on the furniture. I take all diets extremely seriously, and I am always ready to play with toys, outside or just hang in the house depending on what your dog in in the mood for!
About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
About: I've had pets my whole life. Growing up, my family had several dogs and cats amongst other animals. I am a cat mom of 3 (had 4 but lost my guy 3 years ago). And will one day be a doggo mom!! I love animals and believe when you take on the responsibility of owning a pet, that's it for their life. My guys live a fun, spoiled, laidback life and I would do anything for my guys. I unfortunately due to my oldest having diabetes and CHF, am familiar with administrating medication as I had to give insulin and he was on several meds (pills and compounded). I love all animals and will love them like my own. I will send photos/videos of your pet (anytime). Your pet will get my 1000% undivided attention!! I am super excited to watch/take care of your pet!! My schedule is very open currently which means more time for me to love on your pet(s)!! As my schedule changes, I'll do my best to be as accommodating as possible!! My pets are my world and come first. I make sure my pets are taken care of (fed, water, litter box cleaned etc) and put their needs over mine. Put in perspective, I tried dozens of options of foods and such when my oldest was diagnosed with diabetes and gave my all to find answers before he passed. My pets are my children LOL and your pets will get the exact kind of care and love that I provide my guys.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 8. I have always been the go to friend who watches dogs or helps with training. I absolutely love animals and I love to show them new experiences. I think they deserve to have a good life and make new memories and I hope I can be that for your dog I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time to take care of your puppers. I love to be outside and be active and I would love to take your dog along for the ride I also love to go for truck drives, and my dog loves it as well I do not have a fence yard however, where I live I do have a nice little walking path that I love to go on. I also have a track and a little park near my house that I can also take your dog to
About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
About: Hi, my name is Brenda! I have had pets my entire life, and I currently own a Shichon, Golden Doodle and a Shitzu. I have started caring for others in addition to my own! I would love to care for your furry friend! I am very responsible and reliable pet sitter, and will take great care of your pet! I am currently working full-time. After June 5th I will be available during the summer for days and weekends until I go back to work at the school. At that time I will be available evenings and weekends. I will do drop in visit and dog walking as well as taking time to play with your pets. I will always communicate with the owner, whether that be sending them photos of their pets, or just by simply updating them on how things are going via text, or phone call!
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets just as much as you do, I recommend Dani!! We have two high energy pups that like to get out and stretch their legs while we’re at work. Dani is amazing with taking them on walks and to the dog park! My pups get so excited for when she comes to let them out! She’s absolutely amazing with communication and letting you know what’s going on! She’s truly an amazing person to have watching your dogs, I can’t recommend her enough!”
