“Lexie is amazing. She was super patient with our senior dogs who struggles with anxiety and nervousness around new people. She also treated our home just as kindly. We will definitely continue to rely on Lucy to sit with our pup!”
“Emily did a great job with our very active puppy. She stayed in touch with us and kept us very informed during her stay. We had outside construction that made a dirty mess of our yard and she had to deal with the mess and keeping the dog out of the mess. I am sure it wasn’t easy or fun. She adjusted and didn’t complain. Our house looked great and our puppy was well taken care of.”
“Excellent sitter! I was extremely satisfied and felt confident that my pets were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Sam again when I need someone to look after my fur kids!”
“Megan took excellent care of all our pets. She sent us photos of walks with our dog and play time with our cats. I really appreciate the extra care she put in to cleaning up after our cats too; as we all know how messy cats can be with their litter boxes! I will definitely call on Megan again the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Morgan is one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog, Tilly. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive, ensuring that Tilly is well taken care of and happy while we are away. Morgan's professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does, and we always return to a spotless home and a contented dog. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog/house sitter. Thank you, Morgan!”
“Whitney stayed with our Great Dane for a second time and was amazing! We got a video each day along with photos. She also took care of my kid’s reptiles. She is super responsive and kind. I’ll continue to use her when we go away! The best :)”
About: I’ve had a dog for 18 years that recently passed away in the summer of 2020. I have been watching cats and dogs of family/friends for about 13 years. I have experience with lots of potty breaks with senior dogs and energetic puppies. I also have provided insulin shots, inhaler treatments, and medication to dogs when they need it daily. I’m currently working a 40 hour work week. My work days are 10 hours a day. Usually if clients need me for a week I need to know in advance to talk to my other work place about reducing hours that certain week. Having Fridays and weekends off. I can always do three day weekends with your animal. I will take your pet on walks around the neighborhood. I live in the small town of Hollidaysburg, or I could come to your house to make your animal feel more comfortable in their own home. I will play fetch with your dog or even take them on car rides at your consent.
“Taylor was fantastic and kept us updated with all the happenings while she watched our animals. She went above and beyond when she recognized a potential emergency situation of our dog showing signs of bloat. She had already contacted our vet and emergency contact before she was able to get a hold of us. She took extra time out of her day to take our dog to the vet on a holiday (Thanksgiving) to make sure he was okay. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her expertise to anyone.”
“Nate did an excellent job watching our 1yr old GSD Pita for the weekend. Pita got care and attention, and tons of time outside with Lando. When we arrived back to pick her up, she was excited to see us but clearly had a great weekend while we were away.”
About: There wasn’t a time a golden retriever wasn’t apart of my family. Through a lifetime of love I’ve learned the secret language of our canine/feline companions. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs in their most vulnerable moments, I’ve dealt with the chaos of training two energetic puppies at once, and everything in between. My pet care experienced does not stop at dogs and cats, I have personal experience with rodents, rabbits, fish, bearded dragons you name it. I work part time so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of flexibility to best accommodate any clients needs. I am available all day Monday and Tuesday, and after 2 pm Wednesday-Sunday I believe that animals deserve the same respect and care as humans, if not more. With my services, you can expect meticulous attention to your pet’s needs, including preparing and serving meals according to their specific dietary requirements and schedules. To keep your pet stimulated and happy, I will engage them in physical activities and playtime tailored to their individual energy levels. Additionally I can perform light household tasks related to pet care, such as cleaning litter boxes and maintaining feeding areas. Basic grooming, including brushing and bathing as needed, is also part of my commitment to ensuring your pet’s well-being.

“Alexia walks my dog, Bella. She does a great job. Bella is a pitbull mix, and she has no problem with controllering her on walks. I have total trust with her and my dog. Whenever Alexia comes over to the house, Bella knows immediately. Her long tail wags uncontrollably fast and she ends up jumping on my windowsill looking for her. The one day I was not home and Alexia walked Bella. After thier walk Alexia gave her some water and food for a snack. When I got home I saw the half full bowls prior to the food Bella ate this morning. Overall if anyone knows animals, along with having the experience and love for them, it would be Alexia!”
