Dog Sitting Wilkes-Barre

About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.

“Kennedy was great and will definitely book again.!! She had excellent communication with us while we were on our day trip. Kennedy has a high level of integrity and is professional. Louie and Enzo loves her.!!”

About: I worked at a kennel for a few months, so I can handle multiple dogs at once. I have my own baby; He’s an older shit zu/ yorkie named Chewbacca. I enjoy helping wherever I can. I’m here for all the walks. I work part-time, so I am able to offer walks most days. My schedule is very flexible at work, so times will have to be discussed. We have one dog and two cats. They are allowed most places in the house. Affection is very big in this household. I try to take care of the animals health, with probiotics and correct food amounts.

“Jennifer was great. My pets loved her! She was great with communication the entire time I needed her! I will definitely be contacting her again.”

“Jill was amazing! She cared for our dogs like they were her own. I have 2 very different dogs with different needs and she was great for both. I have an older dog who needs love and slowness while the other is a younger hyper pup who needs alllllll the love and walking and energy. Jill sent photos while I was away. She took the worry away of being away from my babies!”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog since they got her. I would do routinely walks, play dates, and would feed their dog whenever they were out of town. I am a forensic scientist by day but an animal lover by night. I love animals and have a cat of my own and get the most joy coming home to him. After a long stressful day, taking care of cute animals makes me feel so much better. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet’s wherever you are comfortable with me doing that. Whatever specific’s you have, I will follow to make sure your experience with me is the best that it can be.

About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained animals (including a dog that became a service animal), so I know patience, attention, and trust are key. Every pet in my care gets love, safety, and companionship, just like they’re part of my family.” My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to provide walks, playtime, or overnight care whenever your pet needs it. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. “I deeply care for every pet in my care, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep their space clean, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to their needs so they always feel nurtured and well-cared-for.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. One of my earliest memories is begging my parents for a dog until they relented and got me a free puppy from the classifieds in the newspaper (yes, I am that old)! Over my life time, I’ve been privileged to take care of five dogs. They ranged in size from a 10 pound poodle mix to a 150 pound St. Bernard. My current fur babies are a rambunctious lab mix and two pampered house. cats As a pet owner, I know the importance of having reliable and trustworthy sitters to take care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I am that person who writes long and detailed instructions about feeding schedules, medications, and who to call in case of an emergency. Most afternoons, I am available to take your dog(s) for a walk, feed your cat(s), or just check on your house when you are away. I will text or email you updates with photos. I will take care of your fur babies and respect your home as if they were my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!

About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So grateful for the amazing care my pup has received! Thank you Bri for being so accommodating on short notice and for always responding so quickly. She made everything feel easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in loving, attentive hands. We truly appreciate you and will definitely be booking again!”

About: When I was young I had 5 cats, Yuna, Spooky, Toby, Rose, and JD, rest in peace, I loved them all a lot and they were with me for a long time, especially Yuna. But now I have 2 Cats, one of which is in the room with me as I write this Bio. His name is Spuds, there's a second one, a Black Cat called Casper who's definitely a handful, but regardless I love the two beyond measure. I've taken care of the two as long as I've had them. My experience isn't just limited to Cats, as I've been around Dogs just as long as I've been with Cats. My mother growing up was a Dog Walker, so I naturally have a lot of second-hand experience with Dog Walking and know the basics. She'd take me and my sister all across Brooklyn 5 days a week to walk 3 Dogs, sometimes more. Furthermore my big brother has a Pitbull mix, whom I've also walked plenty of times. This may be my first time as an actual dogwalker/pet sitter, but I'm certainly not inept. This is my first job, so you better believe I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet, no matter what time of day. Unless of course I have other things to do, such as errands, or any other responsibilities that come up, but you will obviously be warned and told about said responsibilities in advance. I play and cuddle my Cats a ton everyday, along with feeding them and cleaning their litterboxes. And with Dogs, I know how much they need their outside time, so I'd obviously take them outside for Walks or fresh air routinely. I may have less experience with other pets, but so long as you give me proper details on how to take care of them, I could care for just about any pet you ask. Be it Rabbits, Turtles, Lizards, etc.

About: When it comes to what sets me apart from other sitters, it's all about my passion and experience in training dogs. I am a force-free dog trainer who is also currently pursuing my degree in Animal Health and Behavior Science. I've been in the dog world for over 8 years! During this time, I have attended many webinars/seminars to learn more about dogs and developed a deep understanding of their body language and how they communicate, as well as how to help them navigate the world around them. In summer of 2023, I began taking on dog training clients, as well as reaching out to animal shelters to volunteer. I have found myself to be skilled in many areas of dog training such as: Socialization, leash manners, reactivity, potty training, puppy training and more! I am able to switch around depending on the dog to perfectly match their needs and behavior. One more thing that sets me apart is how willing I am to change around depending on your dog. I am very active and a very avid hiker, so if your dog enjoys a hike, then we will absolutely go hiking. If your dog is a couch potato and would rather sleep all day we can then chill at home on the couch and watch movies together! I am also a photographer so your pets will go home with professional photos that will last a lifetime! When you entrust your precious pup to me, you can be confident that they'll receive top-notch care and guidance. I'll create a safe and positive environment where they can thrive and be their happiest selves. They’ll return home to you happy, well-cared for, and fulfilled. 🌟 I am currently still working my way through university (which is online), which means that I am available every day of the week the exception of some weekends! I have a friendly, but neutral, 2 year old border called named Vena, and a shy 5 year old cat named Cali, who typically likes to stay to herself. My dog is very well trained and is able to ignore dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a potty area where the dogs can go out on leash. I live right near the walking trail that goes along the susquehanna, and a short drive from Seven Tubs, which I visit frequently. All dogs will be safely restrained in the car, either in a crash tested harness or crate, which I provide! When visiting homes, I will be sure to follow all house rules. I will make sure to introduce myself to the dogs/cats in a safe and positive way!

About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.

“Lakota took great care of my two puppies while doing drop-ins. She updated me and sent pictures. She is very reliable, punctual and communicated well. I would definitely use her again!”

“Colleen did a fantastic job watching my kitten, Callie. I would recommend her to anyone. Callie loved her too! I will be booking her again! Thank you again, Colleen!”

About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.

“Thank you so much!!!!”
