“Our dog really likes Haley. Was expecting separation challenge but Haley got our dog comfortable and we had no problems leaving him. She sends picture updates. He couldn't decided whether to come with use or stay with Haley when we returned! We will definitely leave him with her if the need arises in the future.”
“Rillan was great with Lilly. Lilly was a happy doggo when we picked her up after a few days. We got a few pictures from Rillan updating us on how she was while we were away, which was very nice. Would rebook with her again.”
“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
“Five stars all around, amazing sitters, super responsive and shared lots of pictures which we absolutely loved seeing. They were above and beyond communicative and amazing and look forward to having our pup stay with them again!”
“Katie took great care of my pup over the weekend. She sent pictures and updates throughout to keep me at ease. My dog needs medication and eye drops (3 different kinds, multiple times a day at the time of the booking) and Katie made sure he got everything he needed. I'll definitely be using her services again!”
“Derya is THE BEST. He is so kind and empathetic. He watched our 1-year old WILD Husky girl Freya over the Summer and then again this weekend. Knowing my baby is in the best of hands makes it possible to actually enjoy our time away. 10/10 would recommend Derya. We love him. Plus the photo updates are always a bonus.”
About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mikaila. She is a great communicator, sent lots of pictures, and our pup had a lot of fun! We already have her booked for another weekend. Definitely recommend :)”
“Lauren was wonderful! She took great care of our Golden Retriever, Stevie, while we attended a PSU game. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again!”
About: Hi there! I was raised on a crop farm and grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds. My extended family owns cattle, dogs, cats, and more—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and loved I’m pretty flexible during the week and can often do last-minute bookings. I occasionally travel for work on weekends, but I’ll always keep my calendar updated so you know when I’m available! I live on a farm, so there’s plenty of space for animals to roam, play, and go to the bathroom comfortably. I make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their routines as close to home as possible. Whether it’s feeding on time, giving them space to explore safely, or just offering calm companionship, I care for each animal with patience and love. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family!

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I grew up always having a dog around so I have years of experience. I am very responsible and reliable when it comes to any job or task. I currently just moved into the State College area. I’m currently on a job search. Until I find the right job for me, my availability is very open. I currently don’t have any pets in my home. I prefer not to stay at my clients homes to watch their dog. I would prefer drop-ins or bring them to my home. Outside of my home we have a dog park and walking trails!
“Maya took very good care of our little Ellie. Clearly adores dogs and has lots of experience taking care of them - we'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we're headed out of town!”
