“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!”

“Irene was awesome. We had an initial meeting to review all details, and she sent updates and pictures of our furbabies. We will be reaching out to Irene again and highly recommend her services.”

“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!”

“Jamie was fantastic with our 2 dogs, staying overnight in our house. Our pups warmed up to her quickly and we knew they were well taken care of. She was very responsive and good at sending pictures as well. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
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.”


“Ruth did a great job with Ruby while I had a quick business trip. She always takes great care of her when I am away. I would highly recommend her to any e looking for a sitter.”

“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 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.”

“Christa stayed at my home and took great care of my dog while I was gone for a long weekend!! She was very responsive to my messages, sent daily updates with pictures and was respectful of my home. Hawthorne was tired when I got back which is always a sign of a good time!! Highly recommend!”
“Brigette responded quickly to our Rover request. Very nice and on time. She sent us adorable pictures of our pups and they seemed super happy and relaxed when we came home. Would book again!”


About: I have had all kinds of animals in my home since I was little, from cats to Great Danes I love them all! I am a college athlete so I live long walks and playing with animals of all kinds. I am super patient and love to care for dogs or cats of all ages! I am currently a student at Penn state so I have class in the morning from 10-11 but besides that I am open to being a great friend to your pet! I am a patient attentive person who will give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I love long walks and staying active and have always had a special connection to animals!
“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.

Rachel is the very best! She took wonderful care of Bentley while we were away for our son's wedding. 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!
Mary was awesome with our dogs! She played with them and cuddled with them. They just loved her. She sent us lots of pictures so we felt very secure that all was well while we enjoyed our weekend. She’s very responsive and trustworthy. We highly recommend Mary!
