Dog sitters in Mechanicsburg, PA
I have lived in a house with a dog groomer for a very long time. I get along with most animals and I have a lot of energy to run them around outside if they're allowed outside. I myself have a bearded dragon and a snake and two cats.

In addition to caring for my own 2 cats and 2 dogs, I have been walking dogs in my community and pet-sitting since I was an early teen. Animals have always struck a cord with me and they are responsive to me (it might be because I come equipped with treats) :)

I have dog sat for many years for multiple neighbors and friends. I am willing to stay in home or drive over 3-4 times a day depending on how far you live from me. I have always had a dog in the house growing up, big and small, so I have a lot of experience caring for them. I can provide references upon request.
