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've been dog sitting for the past 6 years. It started off by my old boss asking me to dog sit for him while he and his family went on vacation, and it now I have 15+ families that ask me to dog sit for them. I watch all sorts of dogs, from 10 pounds all the way up to 100+ pounds. When I dog sit, I normally stay in the clients' home. I currently work full for a healthcare system and my hours are 730A-4P. I am mostly remote so I am able to stay with the dogs most of the time. I do work on-site every 5th week, so those weeks I will have to leave around 7A and won't get home until closer to 430P. I am a huge dog lover.. most people say I'm the dog whisperer. When I am with them, I am constantly playing with them or snuggling up on the couch. If it's nice outside, we will go outside and play or go for walks.
About: As a child, my family had a Maltese since he was a puppy and he lived until the age of 15 years old. His life expectancy was around 7 years old, so he was a senior dog. I learned how to take care of my dog at a young age and was responsible for taking care of him. Now, my parents and I have a puppy named Shylo Esch. He is a mix of Bernese mountain dog and mini poodle. I have attended puppy class with him at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA.

I have various appointments scheduled in advance throughout the week. I make plans with friends and family whenever I have time to see them around my schedule. My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from puppy training class he attended & graduated from. We leash him for outdoor walks. However his best friends, Lola & Mocha, and sister, Maisie, are the only dogs so far we let play time off leash in our yard together. I am very caring for dogs and I also am trained by attending a puppy training class on how to do obedience and tricks. This was from Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I hold myself to a very strong work ethic and compassionate stance when dealing with fur babies and elderly dogs. In my clients home, I follow their rules and duties. I set up a meet n' greet with the dog and owner before committing. I like to meet the dog and see if we are a good fit by playing with the dog or taking them on a walk with the owner around their usual route. I ask various questions about how the owner takes care of the dog, so I can best follow their lead. I ask about daily routine activities, food schedule, treat frequency, walking time, habits, likes, dislikes, etc. I prefer to follow the daily routine and activities that the dog is used to in order to keep them on track.

“Maxwell is a great pet sitter. Hes caring, reliable, and attentive. Hes also pretty good at communicating when needed. The animals seem to be happy after he takes care of them.”

“Sam did a great job taking care of our two cats including giving one a pill. She communicated very well and was flexible to our needs. Would definitely hire again.”
Emily C.
“Emily is very experienced in walking and pet sitting dogs. While she lived in my city, she was my go to sitter whenever I went out of town. My dog is very nervous and skittish, and Emily was very patient with her and understood her needs. My dog absolutely loved her after a couple visits. She communicated regularly with me while I was away, and she followed all instructions I gave her for watching my dog. I trust her completely with my dog, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a regular walker or an overnight sitter.”
Andrew R.
“Andrew is an incredible pet sitter; I can’t recommend him enough! He’s cared for my two dogs, Trex and Azek, and has always done an outstanding job. Trex is older, a bit slower, and very particular about his routine, while Azek is younger, super bright, and a little reactive —so they’re not the easiest duo to care for. But Andrew handles them both with patience, attention, and care. He follows every instruction to a T, genuinely appreciates when I leave detailed notes, and continuously checks in with updates, giving me great peace of mind. My house is always clean when I get home, and it’s clear the boys are happy, calm, and well cared for. Thank you, Andrew, for always taking time out of your schedule to watch my pups and being consistently reliable. It means a lot!”
Sara T.
“Sara was wonderful!! We had to book her fairly last minute. She came right away to meet the dogs and kept me up to date on the visits.”
