House Sitting Whaleys Crossroads

About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and have helped care for my family’s four legged friends for as long as I can remember. I’m no stranger to walking, feeding and cleaning up after dogs of all shapes and sizes. As a teenager, my neighbors and friends entrusted me to care for their pets. Whether they were going to be home from work late and needed someone to walk their dog or were going out of town for a weekend, I was there to help. No matter your dog’s age, size or energy level, I am confident I can provide the best possible care for them! I am currently working remotely so I am available to care for your pups at any hour of any day! From early mornings to late nights, I will be there. At home, I have a fenced in yard where my dogs are able to run and play free, but I also make sure they get plenty of leash walks around the neighborhood. Regardless of your home/ yard’s set up I can ensure your pup will get the best possible care.

“Lori was great! My guys were well taken care of. The photos showed their comfort. She is extremely professional as well as a great communicator. Highly recommend!!!”

“Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.

“Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello, my name is Allegra. I have some free time on my hands and I love animals so I thought this job would be the best fit for me. I grew up with multiple dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits. I currently own 3 ducks, 3 quail, and 6 cats. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, bearded dragons, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, and small snakes. I absolutely love animals and caring for them. I have no problem helping with any special needs or extra care that a pet will need. Both cats and dogs are perfectly fine and I’m okay with taking care of any other animals in the household if needed. I would be happy to be your next helper for your pet! I am currently available most days 7AM to 8PM, but I am open to staying overnight and after these hours if needed. I have a flexible schedule! I feel comfortable coming to your residence in order to care for your animal due to me having multiple indoor and outdoor pets at my home.

“Blair was awesome! Took excellent care of our boys, followed our crazy instructions and even sent pics and videos the entire time. I would highly recommend her, but we don't want her stolen from us! :)”

About: I've had animals the majority of my life. I currently have 4 dogs in my home; 3 Great Danes (ages 4, 4 & 2) and a bully/Doberman mix plus I have a few chickens outside. I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!

“Busara was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment she came for the meet and greet, I was impressed. My dog was calm and took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took notes about his care, showing how attentive and thorough she is. After the meet and greet, she sent a detailed care summary and promptly accepted the booking. Throughout our trip, she communicated amazingly, sending multiple updates and photos of our baby every day through out the day. It made being away so much easier knowing he was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in perfect condition. She brought in our mail, watered our plants, and most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely recommend Busara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again the next time our family travels!”

“I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have nearly two years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and care needs. This experience taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making every animal feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also a puppy raiser with Susquehanna Service Dogs, which has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, socialization, positive reinforcement, and reinforcing good manners. I earned my degree in Agricultural Sciences from Penn State, where I further developed my knowledge of animal health, nutrition, and care. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and provide plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, attention, and affection based on what they enjoy most. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to make sure their pets receive consistent, dependable care. I understand how important routines are for animals, so I do my best to follow your pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and relaxation. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and schedule ahead of time so we can make sure they receive the attention and care they’re used to while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. My experience as a veterinary assistant has taught me to pay close attention to animal behavior, body language, and changes that could indicate a pet is uncomfortable or not feeling like themselves. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and the routines you’ve established for your pets. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications or special care, household rules, and any safety precautions you provide. I also take the time to let pets become comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or nervous around new people. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. My goal is to provide responsible, attentive care while keeping you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

She was very respectful of my home and my dogs really enjoyed her company. I would definitely feel comfortable using her again.”

“Chloe is a great sitter. She communicated with me every day and spoiled Lucy rotten. Highly recommend”

About: Hi, I've been around pets for the last 15ish years with that I've learned that not all dogs are the same and will react the same way towards everyone. I have worked with dogs who were previously in shelters, nervous dogs, fearful dogs, and anxious dogs. I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs. I have potty trained my own dogs and have helped friends potty train as well. I'm comfortable with bathing, brushing, feeding, walking, and interacting with dogs. I have worked with special needs dogs and am comfortable changing their diapers, applying creams and ointments, and applying wraps or bandages if needed. I'm comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and brushing cats. I've also taken care of small reptiles like bearded dragons and geckos, as well as birds like cockatiels and parakeets. I just moved to the area and have flexible availability. I am available for drop ins and walks throughout the day. No time is too early or too late. I'm open to last minute drop ins or walks as long as it is communicated. I'm great at sticking to your pets eating schedule as well as establishing routines if needed. I'm able to clean up after your pet, feed them, interact with them, and stimulate their brain as well.
