Dog Walking Woodridge Estates

About: All dogs melt my heart ❤️ 'The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.' — M.K. Clinton Hi, my name is Laura, and caring for animals is truly my dream job—a passion that never feels like work! I’ve been a proud Rover host since 2022, and in August 2026, I relocated from Wayne, NJ to Harrisburg, PA. The hardest part of the move was saying goodbye to all my sweet fur friends, but as my past client reviews attest, the love, devotion, and care I give to every animal remains my top priority. Over the past 27 years, I’ve owned six beloved fur babies, cared for countless amazing pups, and fostered through the New Jersey Boxer Rescue—helping rescue dogs learn to trust and feel safe before finding their forever homes. Today, my two rescue dogs and two high school-aged sons share my passion for pets—we truly treat every animal like family! I offer overnight boarding in a cozy, welcoming home environment, strictly limiting care to a maximum of 3 families and 8 dogs total (including my own) to ensure every guest receives personalized love and attention. I am also thrilled to offer dog walking and drop-in visit services for cats and all household pets in our new community! IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Meet & Greet Required: All new bookings require a Meet & Greet—at my home for boarding requests, and at the client’s home for dog walking and drop-in services. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours: All drop-offs and pick-ups must occur between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM within an agreed-upon 1-hour window, unless otherwise arranged. Spay/Neuter Policy: All dogs boarding over 10 months old must be spayed or neutered—no exceptions. (Not required for walks or drop-in visits). Rates & Behavior Policy: Rates may vary based on your pet’s specific needs and training. Additional charges may apply for dogs working on house-training or boundary control, as well as senior pets requiring extra care and attention. Damage Policy: Clients are responsible for reimbursing any significant property damage caused by their pet. A Little About Me: Running Camp Pawsome full-time gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to all animals in my care. Whether I’m hosting overnight boarding in my home, taking dogs out for invigorating walks, or dropping in to care for cats and other household pets, your animals are treated like family. While managing my home and family is part of my daily routine, boarding pups are never left alone for more than 2 hours at a time, and every visiting pet receives attentive, loving, and personalized care. Your Pet’s Safety & Comfort Come First My top priority is every animal’s safety and well-being—whether they are staying at my home or cared for in yours. Boarding dogs are always monitored when together and are never left unsupervised in the yard. Each pup (or family of pups) has their own private space for feeding, sleeping, and quiet time. To create a calm environment, I play soothing music during rest periods. All rooms in my home are under video surveillance, which I monitor from both my kitchen screen and phone, ensuring complete peace of mind at all times. I am prepared to handle a wide range of needs and easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether for boarding, neighborhood walks, or drop-in care for cats and other animals. An Experience That Feels Like a Vacation Your pets will feel loved and pampered while under my care! During boarding stays and visits, they’ll enjoy: A private, fully fenced-in yard backing up to scenic golf course and mountain views—perfect for lounging, sniffing, and relaxing Splash time in baby pools for pups who love water fun on hot days Active games like fetch, chase, and tug-of-war in the yard or on brisk walks Dedicated drop-in care for cats and other pets in their own home (feeding, play, litter/habitat care, and affection) Rainy day fun with indoor games like bubbles, laser chase, treat mazes, and gentle enrichment When it’s time to rest, dogs can curl up on a fluffy pillow, a cozy couch, or play with a variety of toys available throughout the house. If you prefer your dog to be crated, or if they feel most secure that way, I can easily accommodate that. Location & Environment

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands on experience. I’m experienced in caring for dogs and cats of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I currently have 2 cats of my own so I am very comfortable with cat care, including being able to recognize if a cat may be acting differently than usual. I’m also aware of individual cats boundaries and personalities and respect this. I have also cared for many dogs in my life of all sizes, from beagles to labs to rottweilers. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and am able to provide ample attention. What sets me apart from others is my genuine care for getting to know each individual pet to adapt to their specific needs, rather than treating all pets the same. I fully understand that some pets may be energetic and playful, while others may be shy or prefer a quiet environment. My main goal is to make your pet/pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away in order to give you peace of mind that your pet family is in good hands. I’m currently a law student and work part time and have a flexible schedule, believe it or not! I have intentionally chosen to pursue pet care because I found that I have availability outside of my commitments to work and school. I’m more than happy to communicate prior to bookings to coordinate walks and visits that fit within both of our schedules. I prioritize consistency and reliability for pet care, and will always ensure that I understand your pets needs and routines. I ensure every pets safety and care by following any instructions provided while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pets have anything and everything they need, including food and water, attention, and maintaining a clean environment. During dog walks I prioritize maintaining safe handling practices and give your pet my full attention at all times. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect that I would want for my own home.

“Second time I have used her! She is amazing with my dog and was so great with last minute changes this trip. Will be using her again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!

“Molly is the best!! Right from the start it’s obvious she’s a great human and a dog whisperer. Excellent and professional meet and greet…my pups instantly adored her. My older pup, Aba, was experiencing acute back pain during the meet and greet and it got worse after. Molly gave me awesome advice as she has worked with animals as a vet tech for years. She even let me last minute borrow her Assisi Loop (for pain) which helped so much. This was all out of the dog sitting window I had her booked for which was so kind. While we were out of town she gave excellent and honest updates, picked up the yard, lots of pics, LONG walks for the pups and even discarded some boxes we had sitting around that needed recycling. Above and beyond my pet sitting expectations…as a Rover sitter myself…so impressed!! I highly recommend Molly.”

About: Hi! My name is Ash and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since I was young I grew up in a household with dogs, mostly pits (& one corgi). At the moment, I have my sweet pitbull Penny who is a spoiled happy girl. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet's while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I'm currently in online school, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m not able to provide boarding because of my sweet baby, however, I am able to walk, drop in, or stay overnight! To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, and plenty of attention and play time! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior. I’m currently in online school for my Medical Assistant (MA) license, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day, including walks, drop-ins, and extended care when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and closely follow your instructions to maintain their normal routine. I’m attentive to behavior changes, careful with leash and home safety, and always respectful of your space.

About: I have multiple years experience with cats and dogs. I grew up a dog family but when I meet my wife i was pushed into cat duty. I turned out to love cats and couldn’t see our life without them. For my full time job I work third shift at a local university. Flexibility is very much appreciated when it comes to schedules as I sleep most evening. I can accommodate most requests with flexible daytime visits and afternoon walks. I can do evening visits on weekends. I can preform any tasks needed, including walks, feeding, play time, and clean ups as needed. I look forward to meeting your fury friend I work third shift so morning, daytime and early evening are no problem. I can also make later evening happen on my way to work I have 2 cats at home that are well loved. We care for family dogs also when vacations arise. I have auto feeders for our cats to make sure they are well fed.

About: I have spent over four years working hands on in a busy rescue shelter, providing daily husbandry, medical care, behavioral support, and safe handling for animal friends of every temperament and condition. I supported new arrivals who came in confident and social, shy friends who shut down from stress, and pets who needed calm guidance before they felt safe. Working with furry friends who were excited, anxious, grieving, fearful, or adjusting to major life changes taught me how to respond with patience, steady communication, and professional skill. My background includes senior care, medical needs support, and specialized routines for friends who rely on consistency. I have managed medication schedules, wound care, mobility challenges, special diets, and emotional needs with confidence. I worked closely with veterinarians and served as a vet tech at the shelter, gaining hands on experience with medical procedures, behavior observation, and safe handling for friends in all conditions. I am trained in SAFER assessment handling and comfortable supporting pets who benefit from structure, reassurance, and predictable routines. I am equally confident with playful energetic friends who enjoy activity and quiet friends who prefer soft company and peaceful days. I have also been trusted to support furry friends during palliative care, something I approach with deep respect. Being asked to be present for a friend in their most vulnerable moments is a quiet honor, and I always offer steadiness, comfort, and calm attention. My shelter team often turned to me for these situations because of the way I understood each friend’s needs and the gentle presence I brought to difficult moments. Those experiences taught me how meaningful it is to provide warmth and reassurance when a friend needs it most, and they continue to shape the way I care for every pet I meet. In addition to hands on care, I also worked in customer experience at the shelter, helping match our furry friends with the right adopters. I learned how important it is to understand each friend’s personality, needs, and comfort level so I could communicate clearly and honestly with potential adopters. I spent time getting to know our friends, explaining their needs, and helping families understand what would make the best fit. Guiding adopters through those decisions taught me how to advocate for each friend with clarity, kindness, and confidence. Every furry friend is welcomed with respect, understanding, and genuine care. Whether a pet arrives full of energy, feeling uncertain, or simply looking for a reliable presence, I adjust to their pace and their comfort level. My goal is always to meet each friend exactly where they are and provide care that fits their age, personality, medical needs, and emotional state. I recently made the difficult but exciting decision to pause my career and stay home with my little one. During this chapter of life, I am also pursuing my education to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, allowing me to combine my love for animals with continued learning and professional growth. As a result, my schedule remains flexible and open, giving me the opportunity to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. If you have specific scheduling requests, I am always happy to discuss options and find a solution that works well for both of us! I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own, taking the time to learn their routines, preferences, and unique personalities.I'm a big believer in clear communication and appreciate detailed instructions. The more I know, the better I can provide consistent care and make sure everything is done exactly the way you would do it yourself. I am always happy to double check details, ask thoughtful questions, and go the extra mile to prevent misunderstandings.During each visit, I will care for your home with the same respect and consideration I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. You'll receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, enrichment, exercise, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I'm committed to providing care that is tailored to their needs.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have always been surrounded by cats and dogs and would not have it any other way. Currently in-between jobs so I am pretty flexible. I will be returning to school in the near future, but that will be online, so will not change my schedule too much. I do not have a fenced-in yard and am not looking to watch pets at my house as I already have my own dogs here.

About: I’ve been caring for various sized dogs and cats since I was a small child. From feeding, to going on walks or just providing them company while you’re away I’m bound to be your pets new best friend! I’m available most week days but please try to give me a few hours heads up if you’ll be needing me to avoid schedule conflicts! Each animal requires their own specific care. Please let me know what services you are looking for PRIOR to booking to ensure everything goes smoothly for everyone

About: I’ve been an animal lover since day one! From playful pups to cuddly cats, I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I share my days with an energetic dog who keeps me on my toes, and I can’t wait to bring that same fun, adventure, and care to your pet’s day! I share my days with a lovable Goldendoodle who fills my life with joy, keeps me on my toes, as well as making every day brighter! We take our dog on daily walks. This helps to get both our kids and dog some exercise. I feed our dog two times a day. This schedule will be flexible for us to have another dog in the house and give it attention.

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.

“Stevy is amazing! She’s great with our dog and we are so glad she’s able to be with her when we can’t be!”

“I needed a last minute sitter for King and Heather was amazing. King definitely enjoyed her company. I plan on using her again in the near future..”

About: We love dogs and cats we grew up surrounded by them, we have 2 dogs and 2 cats, I teach my children love and respect for animals We work from home so we can give you time to take them out to the yard to play at home or outdoors. We have Leia (cat), Nexu (cat), Padme (Dog) and Percy (Dog) a beautiful, super-friendly chocolate Lab and Golden retriever who loves to play with other animals. Your pet will always receive love in our house, we will treat them with one more member of our family, with fresh water and food, they will have company to play, you can trust that they will have excellent care In the morning the first thing we do is take them to pee and poop, then we give them food. It usually comes out again 20 or 30 minutes after eating. We work from home so breaks for pee and poo are constant approximately every 1 or 2 hours maximum. I have a beautiful chocolate labrador that can be the perfect company for your pet, I don't have a fence but my neighborhood is safe and my back yard is big to play in we use thelong leachs, we can take him to pee and poop with his dog collar or keep an eye on him if he likes being without a dog collar

“Great care for our sweet pup and very detailed with everything that happened on the visit.”
