Zoe is amazing. She took care of our dog for 3 days, sent us lots of pictures, and was a delight to communicate with. I trust her 100% and highly recommend!

Candice was great! We felt comfortable going out for the evening and leaving Clementine in her care. We received several texts and pictures showing Clementine enjoying her snuggles and belly rubs while we were out. Also, Candice stopped by to meet Clementine ahead of time and asked pertinent questions about her food and routine. We would highly recommend Candice!

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!

It was a delight to come home from my trip to a calm, happy dog not stressed out by a kennel stay! Devin was so caring and responsible with my older dog. I felt very confident with him in her compassionate care!

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. It is preferable that they would be able to go in a crate when I’m not home, but if they are fine to wander around on their own and they have not had any problems, then that is fine as well.

Katrina took such good care of my pup Frankie during their house-sit! Frankie is a high-energy pitbull mix. Katrina sent regular updates and communicated really clearly. When I got home, Frankie was happy and doing really well, and my house was in perfect condition. Would book Katrina again in a heartbeat.

About: I am an animal lover and look forward to meeting your babies! My babies are Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail - 3 DSH cats that are sisters and brother. I love spending time with them, grooming, petting and cuddling. I know that every pet has its own personality and I am eager to get to know your pet(s) and their personalities. I have general walking/sitting experience with all types and sizes of dogs, but there is a special place in my heart for pitties. I am an LPN with years of experience in assisted living facilities - not sure that translates directly to pet care but it has taught me patience and given me an instinct for when medical things are afoot. I’m a full time night shifter, so my availability is mostly on mornings or my days off. I can do visits in the early am and late evening. Ideally I will be transitioning to full time freelancing within 2026, so I will have more availability. Please contact me with any requests - I do not keep up with the availability calendar well. I have had cats, dogs, fish, lizards, a tarantula, hamsters, and rats/mice. I am an animal lover overall. I will happily feed snakes, spiders, and other insects as long as I don’t have to touch them. I have a little bit of experience with parrots and small birds, but I am no bird expert. In the pet world I’m a bit of a ‘Jack of all trades, master of none.’ I will follow all instructions you give me to assure the safety and happiness of your pet while you are away.

Sarah was wonderful with our Groot. She did everything we asked and was fantastic in sending us updates and photos. She was excellent at communicating throughout the process. 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.

Harlow is a young and super high energy dog so it takes a lot of work to take care of her. Sarah did an amazing job and sent a bunch of pictures to calm my nerves. She also responded really fast when I'd reach out to her. I will definitely be having sarah watch harlow again!

We used Phoebe as a house dog sitter for the 1st time - and would be happy to use her again. She was very conscientious and took fantastic care of our sometimes shy dog Nuka. She quickly brought her out of her shell and Nuka was quite relaxed and attached in no time. Phoebe took great care of our farmhouse.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, Im not afraid of the teething stages or having to give the old guys a boost up the stairs. My most notable qualities are responsibility and respect; that goes for your home and your pets. I want to make them feel comfortable with a new face and some attention while you’re away! My current work schedule changes week to week but I am very flexible with hours for the days marked available on my calendar. Im comfortable getting up early before work to get their day started. I am available for walking, feeding, play-time, etc. I am unable to keep pets in my apartment at this time but can bring them to hiking trails or dog parks for exercise at your request. I can also keep them comfortable in your home/yard space.

We didn't have a worry in the world knowing Bentley was in her hands Rachel gave us frequent updates with photos and was quick to respond when we reached out to check on him. We will certainly be calling Rachel again in the future. She is wonderful!
