“Bailee was amazing! We felt like we were leaving our pups with a family member. Her experience with dog care and her love of animals was apparent the minute we met her. She went above and beyond to make sure that the dogs were cared for, loved and treated as if they were on vacation. We felt very confident and comfortable, leaving our pups in her care. And it made our vacation week even better knowing that we didn’t have to worry about how they were doing. She is amazing! We would hire her again and again!”

Diana B.

“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 owned 7 dogs throughout my life. My family has also fostered 10+ dogs over the years. I have experience training animals, taking care of senior animals, and dealing with a variety of animal temperaments. I know how important pets are to a family so I always treat any dog I meet the same as I would my own. I work between 20-35 hours a week over the summer (Mon-Fri). However, I tend to have quiet evenings perfect for lounging with pets. I don’t work on weekends and have lots of free time then. Safety is very important to me when taking care of any animals. I always monitor animals when they are outside, I use proper harnesses when walking animals, and keep doors locked.

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.

“Jamie was fantastic! She house-sat for us, and watched our dog and cat, for a week, and all was great. We definitely hope to have her housesit for us again in the future!”

“Emma was so great. She showed up early and stayed the entire requested time. She took really good care of my baby boy and even brought in a heavy package that was delivered a day early so it wouldn't be sitting outside. She was very communicative and respective of my home. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary! I am currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Penn State (student status subject to change). I will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I cannot provide boarding services at this time, so all my pet care services will be at or around your home. I can walk the dogs, play with them, make sure they are properly fed and watered, and take them outside regularly.

“I’m not your typical type of reviewer. Seems to be one of those things that I only review if things are bad and the company isn’t helpful. This is not the case though for Nora. She was wonderful. We were able to book Nora last minute due to previous cancellation. She visited with Mocha to get the run down prior to that same week being when she would be watching our Mocha.”

“Couldn’t ask for a better person to love Lucy while we are away. Definitely will ask again.”

Becca N.

“Jana was awesome! We had no worries about our cat Lucy at all!”

Dave & Ashley M.

“Adriana was awesome with Kodi . She sent me lots of photos and made me feel really comfortable about leaving my fur baby. I would highly recommend her as well as plan to hire her in the future.”

About: I have worked in an animal shelter for almost 7 years. I was the kennel manager, I did the daily cleaning and walking of the dogs and cats and have experience in medicating them. I'm currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule, any time and days of the week work well for me. please feel free to ask me any questions I have tons of experience and know a lot about handling and caring for animals. I have 2 very loving cats but your pets would not be meeting them.

About: Hi! I’m Jonathan—an experienced coach, teacher, and dedicated dog lover now based in Bellefonte, PA. I’ve spent years working with kids and teams, which means I bring patience, structure, and strong communication into everything I do, including caring for your dog. I understand how important trust is when someone is looking after your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and check-ins at reliable times throughout the day. I stay active, so I enjoy incorporating walks and playtime into my routine—whether that’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I’m also used to managing schedules from coaching and teaching, so I prioritize being on time, organized, and consistent for every visit. On a weekly basis, I keep my availability flexible so I can accommodate different needs, including recurring walks or last-minute bookings when possible. I also make sure to communicate clearly with owners and provide updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan for and enjoy as part of my routine. I care for pets in your home as if they were my own. If your pet has special instructions just communicate that to me, no problem.

“My dogs had the pleasure of staying with Chris for a week on very short notice. She stayed in communication with pictures twice a day and my fur babies absolutely had a wonderful time. Thanks Chris for taking great care of my dogs. It was a great first experience.”

Ed D.

“Candice was so amazing! She took such good care of our pup and gave us lots of photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely be using her services again in the future! She even put away some of the clean dishes we had left out!”

Tara F.

“My dogs are definitely not used to people but they cozey-ed right up to Leigh Ann. She kept my updated with pictures throughout, and asked ample questions beforehand so that she could make sure to provide great care. 10/10 will be calling for her again!”

Carlie W.

“Vicki was great! Our pups loved being with her and enjoyed all her special care. We knew all was well when she described how they jumped in her lap and how they responded. Beyond basic care, she also had to deal with a strong storm that was stressful for one dog and knocked out power for hours. The security system had issues as well and Vicki handled all of it. Highly recommend Vicki!”
