Dog Walkers in York Springs, PA

About: I have been in veterinary medicine for over 10 years. I have come to love and understand the ways of animals and of their owners. I understand the importance of socialization and the necessary stimulation needed for them. Sometimes life gets crazy but your pets won't even notice with my help! If you see a gentleman in my pictures, that’s Parker! I was diagnosed with some chronic illnesses over the last couple of years and he has helped me continue caring for animals by helping me when I’m in need. If I feel like I might need help I will let you know to ensure that you are able to meet him as well! We have 9 animals of our own so him and I are PROFESSIONALS at this point! I work part time in the veterinary field still so I am pretty open for availability! Right now I work 3 days a week, 7 hours a day. I will care for the pets in a manor that is pleasing to the owners. With my experience I have learned not to get into any formed habits when caring for animals. They are all unique and so are their owners, I want to respect that!

“Margus was awesome with my boys and saved me during a last minute out of town trip. My 2 dogs were very well cared for on their walks I can tell they had a great time through all the pictures and feedback provided. My boys are on the younger side and have very different walking styles so it can cause for some interesting experiences with them and Margus handled them extremely well and I came home to some very happy and tired pups.”

“We were super impressed with Leilani and the way she cared for our dog, Doc. She took him out on a sweltering hot day but gave him plenty of time to do his business and then showered him with attention inside where it was cool. All the while she kept us updated and sent pics and a note when she was finished. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’m Alex and I currently have one pitbull so I am A 24/7 dog mom! I love hiking and being out in nature. I have a high energy personality that is perfect for wearing any pup out. Growing up my parents owned dogs of all sizes and personalities (Dalmatian, Akitas, border collie, and jack russel) I love the Lower Allen dog park and would gladly take any dogs there with permission! My previous rescue pit had an abusive past which sadly caused some behavioral issues. Due to that I am more than comfortable watching any dogs that may be a little rough around the edges. I have no problem giving any daily medication needed. I’m just a fun loving dog owner who would love to give your dog wonderful care and attention! I am a stay at home mom so my days are pretty open. I also have access to flexible free child care through grandparents so I don’t have to have my child with me during any dog visits or stays. This allows me to be able to work with your needs! I’m available for caring overnight in your home where your pup is most comfortable! Lots of attention and if they’re allowed in the bed or on the couch they’ll be right there next to me. I am not currently available to be hosting animals at my own home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, and I have experience with taking care of many different breeds, young and old. I love animals and will do everything I can to make yours comfortable and happy. Work is currently slow, so I have the time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am available anytime throughout the week and most weekends. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep yours company. I do not have a fenced yard, but walk them on my private lane often, and take them to the dog park. My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.

About: I have always had dogs and cats and love animals sometimes more than people, LOL! I have retired from my business career and now getting to enjoy caring for your furry children. I am happy to walk your dogs and do whatever you need for them to be comfortable while you are away. I am currently working full time but will be retiring soon. At this time, I will be available to care for your furry friends on the weekends but in the coming year will also be available throughout the week. I am a trustworthy, reliable person and always put my best effort into everything I do! I look forward to caring for your furry friend!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5. My brother was very active in the dog community and often took me with him. I took care of his Rotwilliers whenever he vacationed and had several dogs of my own. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family my whole life and have taken care of dogs for my nanny families in the past! I am currently a part-time nanny, but fit in dog care in my off time! I only work two full days a week, Monday and Thursday, so I have plenty of time for my puppy friends! I love to help out other dog parents and want to make dog care my full-time job. When caring for a dog in another home, I can easily follow instructions you leave for me. I can walk the dogs on a leash, take them to dog parks, or play with them in my own yard. If a dog has to come home with me, I have a large home with plenty of yard for them to run and play in. I have small crates at my own home if needed. I have experience with giving dogs medication due to my own senior dogs and my French bulldog who has had allergy issues.

About: I am very patient and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will give them a lot of love and respect. Thank you !! I have a lot of extra free time and will be willing to make some time for your doggies!! Whenever you need me:) thank you!! I have a huge green grass area in front of my house, a great backyard at my gma’s house and a great neighborhood for walks!

About: I love people and their pets! Most of my professional life has been spent in the people-helping field, and I enjoy sharing my love of animals with those I help. I am very proud to have introduced therapy dogs and equine-facilitated therapy to crime survivors in Alachua County, FL! In my free time, I've fostered over 50 dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and even a few rabbits for various local rescues. My specialty has been helping anxious dogs learn to trust people. Positive reinforcement is my go-to method of behavior modification, and I can continue your training regimen with your fur babies while you are out of town. I can provide medications and even farm-sit if you need! I've owned my own horse and have cared for goats, chickens, pot-bellied pigs, and burros. I work full-time in York, PA, so I limit the area where I provide services between York and New Oxford. I stop directly after work (6 pm is quitting time) back at your house, then return to spend the night after feeding my own dog. I provide routine meal times, potty breaks, litter clean-up, medications as needed, treats as positive reinforcement, play time, cuddles, walks and other exercise, and if your pets are used to sleeping in your bed, they are welcome to do the same with me! I do all of this in your home so your best bud doesn't have to stress about too many changes while they are missing you. While Rover's pricing is set up on a per dog fee schedule, I cap charges at $80 per night and $40 per drop in or walk, regardless of the number of pets in your household. In the Rover app, I must modify your booking to be able to do that. I work full-time 9:30am -6pm, Monday -Friday in York, Pa, so I limit my service area during the week to areas between York and New Oxford. I can serve a larger area such as Gettysburg and Dillsburg on weekends. I adhere carefully to client directions about medication, supervision, feeding, and exercise. I want dogs to keep their usual routine as much as possible, and owners to rest assured their treasured pets are cared for as they would. I am a background -checked government employee that prides myself on being dependable and trustworthy. I discuss my scheduling limitations with owners to ensure they are getting a sitter who is the best fit for their pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have never gone a day without taking care of one. I will get along with any kind of dog I can take care of a dog and/or cat at any point. Any time after school is doable for me and I will make your dog feel safe Daily Routine: • Feeding: Stick to a consistent schedule and use food suited to the pet’s age, breed, and dietary needs. • Fresh Water: Always available and replenished regularly. • Exercise: Walks, playtime, or enrichment activities depending on the pet (e.g., toys for cats, fetch for dogs). • Hygiene: Regular grooming, nail trimming, and cleaning up waste.

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’ve taken care of my family dogs since the oldest was a puppy, I have take care of friends dogs as well as relatives dogs too. I’m currently working full time and take care of pets when I get home. When I’m taking care of dogs for others I find time before and after work. I have a fenced in yard, my dogs get along well with other dogs . I’ve had my dogs interact with other dogs since puppies . I take them on walks and there’s a dog park near my home.

About: Hi! My name is Clarissa and I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and pigs. I have one pup named Revvy and he’s a German shepherd mix. I am currently managing a fear-free, vet tech ran grooming salon and have been working with all kinds of pets for the past 4-5 years. Keeping your fur babies safe and happy is what matters to me the most. I’m currently working part time day shift from 9am-5pm. Depending on the day I may get off early around 2-3pm but I always try to plan around 4:30 and will be able to change depending on your flexibility. I’m willing to do anything that’s needed for your fur baby. I’m also experienced in puppy obedience training if you happen to have a puppy.

About: My entire life pretty much I've grown up around animals! I've had different rodent, and currently have 2 cats. The last 10ish years my family and I have cat/dog sat for multiple family members and friends. The last year I've cat sat for my neighbor multiple times. As far as regular work goes, I'm only doing part-time due to the limit on how many hours are being given. I'm also not enrolled in school, so my schedule has more than enough time to fit in some extra pet care. I have experience with giving medication (mostly pills), so if your fur baby has meds that are needed to be given, I'm more than willing. Like a lot of animals, I enjoy basking in the sun. So, taking your animals on long walks isn't an issue either. Your animals needs are my priority.
