Sydney is absolutely wonderful! She took care of our pets over the Thanksgiving holiday and we would book her again in a heartbeat. She is kind, responsible, thoughtful, and very obviously an animal lover. From the first moment we reached out she was quick and clear with communication. Our Boston Terrier, who is often very wary of strangers, basically threw herself into Sydney’s arms the moment she walked through the door. Sydney was easy to get in touch with all week, sent lots of updates and photos, and left our house cleaner than when she arrived— even though this was by no means a requirement! We were so grateful to arrive home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’ve had a lot of pet sitters over the years, but this was hands down the least stressful experience ever. My only hesitation about leaving this review is that she’ll be too busy to book again 😊 but truly we hope her business thrives!

Bailee took extremely good care of my french bulldog Tank. Not only was she very accommodating and checked in frequently, she also was able to respond and watch him within a days notice. Bonus points for taking him on a long walk and to see my fraternity brothers… Definitely recommend, and will use again.

Derya was great! He communicated really well. He also sent so many good pictures of our girls. I can tell they were well taken care of and enjoyed staying with him. The first part of our trip he stayed at our house, and once he knew the girls better, he took them to his house. I'm so glad we chose him. We will be rebooking!

Katherine was such a blessing! We needed someone last minute to take care of our dog while we went on a family vacation. She kept our house neat and tidy and kept Duncan very happy and loved while we were away. Also kept us in the loop with picture and text updates ? we will definitely be using her next time we’re away!

About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare and friends and family have trusted me in the past to watch their animals while on vacation worry-free! I would be honored if you chose me to take care of your furry friends! I’m currently a senior at Penn State, but my schedule for the spring and my final semester allows me to be at home for a good majority of the day. The most I would be gone is 3-5 hours tops. I would also like to note that I will only be in the State College area until early May, as I am graduating and will be moving back home to Harrisburg. Apologies if this inconveniences anyone! I do not have a fenced in yard, but my apartment complex has a fenced in area for dogs to run around, and I am willing to take them on walks as needed.

Adriana is a WONDERFUL dogsitter. She watched my Catahoula hound dog, Kiddo, for me in my home for five nights, and I felt so reassured with how communicative and she was throughout my trip. I returned home to find Kiddo as happy as ever. Thank you so much, Adriana; 12/10 would recommend for caring for anyone's pets!

About: I have been a volunteer foster at Centre County Paws for 8 years. I have fostered 8 week old puppies to 13 year old senior dogs. I have seen it all: separation anxiety, severe malnutrition, high energy, resource guarding, dog aggression, etc. Your dogs are my top priority and I want to keep their routines consistent as possible. I am currently a senior in highschool, so overnight stays are typically restricted to weekends, but I am flexible if you live within 20 minutes of Bellefonte. I am free for 7:30am pee breaks and any time after 3:00pm. I have finicky dogs, so I understand providing for a dog with specific needs. I can jog, play fetch, snuggle, and spend any type of quality time your dog needs. I will spend lots of time with your cats, cuddling and playing with toys are my favorite activities!

Max was awesome with our pups. I highly recommend him and I am definitely hiring him again. Great communication and sent us lots of photos of our fur babies. Normally we get nervous anytime we have to leave our dogs but with wonderful communication updates and lots of happy pup photos we were at ease and were able to have a great time instead of worrying.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve trained multiple dogs and understand how to handle different temperaments and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I am also a volunteer at Centre County Paws where I care for dogs of all breeds and ages! I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m happy to work with different timeframes, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute requests. I prioritize pet care and always make sure pets receive the attention and consistency they need to feel comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets, safety is my top priority. I make sure pets are always secure, whether that means using a leash on walks, double-checking gates and doors, or keeping an eye on their behavior and health. I create a calm, welcoming environment where pets feel safe, loved, and at ease. I treat each home with respect, keeping it clean and tidy, and I always follow the specific care instructions given by the owner to ensure every pet gets the care they need.

Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.

Jessie was great! She came over on short notice for a meet and greet (I believe it was the same day as the request). We have one sweet gentle giant, and one dog that's suspicious of everyone. Jessie was resourceful and even helped with training our troublemaker. I'm a nervous pet parent, so Jessie took lots of pictures and made me feel at ease while away from home. Very thankful for her help last minute!

Sydney did an amazing job caring for our 3 dogs and 2 cats at our home. I haven't been this relaxed on a vacation in a long time. She sent lots of pictures, followed all of our directions and took great care of our home. She was great at communicating with us and we enjoyed all the pictures she shared. She provided lots of playtime and enrichment for our dogs and they seemed very happy. One of my dogs is very anxious and even she seemed to love to snuggle up with Sydney and seemed very comfortable during our absence. We greatly appreciate all she did to care of your furry friends while we were gone.

This is our 2nd time having Maxwell watch our fur babies and I couldn’t be happier. He made it easy to fly out of state and not worry or wondering if the dogs were ok, with his daily photos and constant updates and communication we felt such at ease. I would highly recommend Maxwell to everyone and still plan on booking with him in the future.

Our dog unfortunately had an emergency while Kristin was sitting him. She handled it so well and got him the care he needed at the emergency vet. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during that scary time. Your pets are in great care with her!
