Dog Walkers in West Springfield, PA

About: The Venn diagram of “my seasonal work lifestyle leaves me with time in the winter” “having ‘animal lover’ as a personality trait” and “folks needing pet care around the holidays” is a circle. Hello folks, I’m Lauren - park ranger and pet lover! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet who has the love for animals of Eliza Thornberry and also the responsibility, attention to detail and reliability of Leslie Knope- look no further! My level of responsibility/reliability in congruence with my love of & experience with pets makes me a great option for pet sitter, but my schedule makes me stand out. As of right now I have almost totally free availability for the holiday season (and beyond a bit). Feed, brush, walk, fetch, deep cleaning pet stuff (food or water bowl, etc) whatever you & they need- I’m your person!! Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit for your furry friend, I look forward to talking with you (even more excited about meeting your pet) *2 night minimum for holiday bookings* I DONT TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO SET ROVER PRICING/RATES. PLEASE REACH OUT AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT PRICE FOR SERVICES NEEDED!!!! Currently wide open. I work 8 months a year as a park ranger (spring-winter) and am fully committing to pet sitting this winter. I will have a few days I need for appointments but otherwise wide open for overnights, pop ins etc. (NOT available to have pets come to my home as a renter) I have been a pet sitter and baby sitter for about 20 years now. In a professional role, I manage complex and dynamic operations and oversee a staff of up to 15. I have a high standard of operation for myself in all I do- this includes pet care.

“Day one was wonderful! Kayla and Sassy went on a nice walk to get to know each other... and learn the limits. Kayla really enjoys walking dogs... and she is working us into her schedule beautifully.”

About: I’ve cared for family pets, friends pets, and others pets. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters and been able to care to them and make them feel wanted again. I walk dogs and make sure they get enough time outside and enjoy themselves. Currently with being a college student, The schedule is a littler tighter but I’m able to dog walk or sit earlier in the day more often than later in the day. Classes are mostly from 2-8 with one class in the morning around 9-12 but days vary. I tend to most dogs i’ve owned with care because of them coming from shelters. I’ve had to be gentle with them and slowly build their trust over time and showing them that I’m not there to harm them like a previous owner might have. I listen to them and make sure they’re fed and happy.

About: I have loved dogs for most of my life. I love helping people and meeting other dogs with drop in visits and dog walking. Thanks for checking my profile. I work full time but most of my weekends are free and I update my calendar often. I am available during the week in the evenings. I live in a quiet neighborhood and all other dogs are either fenced in or on a leash. I love taking dogs on long walks and letting them explore and burn off their energy.

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.

About: **Updated changes to my schedule. I am not able to do any overnights during the week, I am only available during the weekends. I am ok with dogs staying at my home during the week but there will be a process we follow before that becomes routine. I am happy to discuss that anytime! I am free for walks only on Fridays now and evenings. Please feel free to inbox me anytime for any questions or situations and we can talk through it! Thank you!!** Hello all!! Let me take a minute to fill you in on myself, my household, and all the love I have for dogs and cats alike! Right off the bat, I do want to be clear about who you will be primarily working with and who will primarily be taking care of your pet. Sara and Ben are both listed since we are married, but Sara is the primary caregiver. So all information is primarily about Sara's skills and experience along with Ben's and as a couple. Ben is very active during boarding situations but all other services are done by Sara, with Ben popping in on occasion. With that said here we go... I have years of fostering experience with rehabbing, training, and loving dogs of all situations, behaviors, and backgrounds. I have had personal animals of my own for almost 20 years now and loved every second of it! I started an animal rescue here in Erie several years ago, so my love and care of animals is very real! I was also a Vet Tech for several years! Owners deserve to feel their home and animals are safe when they are away. I want all owners to not feel a shred of worry or anxiousness, I know it can be hard to be away from them. I want you to enjoy yourself, thats what is most important! I take it very seriously to send updates and pictures as much as the owner would like! I know it can help the worry of being away to see how much fun their animals are having and all the love they are receiving--so I will be diligent about those!! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have! Happy to answer all I can! We work full time 9-5 and have 4 dogs of our own. My schedule is more flexible than Bens. Ben and I are amazing animal owners and their care is number one in our lives and we revolve our lives around theirs. They are not just animals to us, they are our children. Structure and routine is vital and taken seriously. We follow the animals routine and needs to the best of our ability. They need routine and structure when their owners are gone and that is not something we take lightly. Our home has a fenced yard, plenty of room in the home to play, and walks in the neighborhood if allowed. At someone's home, I will follow the guidelines for that animal to a tee based on their set up and owners request.

About: My husband and I have raised kittens and puppies for the past 20+ years. Our children all have had jobs pet sitting for multiple people. Our family honestly just loves animals, so we figured why not earn some extra money to put towards family getaways, doing what we love. Plus it gives us a chance to do something together! Between myself and the 5 other family members in my home, we can figure out a way to accommodate the needs for your pet. Plus most of us drive so we can provide transport or easily come to you:) We have a large yard for your pet to play, and a great neighborhood with side walks to take for walks. We love playing with animals and cuddles, but we also have enough space in our home if you’d like your pet more secluded.

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
