Pet Sitting Boalsburg

“Great sitter — flexible, dependable, and wonderful with Dennis. She helped with a walk yesterday and stayed extra today when I was late. Dennis loved her. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.

“Christa was great with our cat Pebbles! We went away on a two week trip, and she sent pictures or videos every day along with updates on how Pebbles was doing and how he was eating, etc. In the past we had friends just stop by to feed Pebbles and it wasn’t enough interaction for him so he would be visibly upset when we came home. This time we came home to a very happy cat, and we could tell he had great quality time with Christa while we were away! Thank you Christa!”

“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”

About: I have had the honor of raising my dog for 10 years. I understand the responsibilities involved with taking care of a dog from birth to old age. I have also owned other pets which I have broadened my scope on how to take care of animals in general. Along with this, I have previously dog-sat for a neighbor with 2 dogs for 2 years, and love learning how to adapt to the needs of different dogs! In addition to this, I am a pre-med individual with hands-on experience taking care of people, so I understand the basic principles of being empathetic and caring towards others. I’m currently a student with classes strictly in the mornings, so I have a substantial amount of availability to care for your dogs! I am also open to any weekends (with the exception of Sunday mornings for church) and am extremely flexible! Regarding taking care of my own dog, I have been hands-on for the entirety of her life. I regularly take her for walks, play dates, I feed her, bathe her, and know what is required to take care of a dog. I have also dog-sat for others in the past

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 4 years, both while living in college and while at home. I have experience working with mainly teenage to older dogs, but have some experience working with younger dogs when my family got our first dogs. I am currently in law school here at Penn State and would be available most weekday nights! I can also help on the weekends, but am often traveling for school. With my school work being tiring and often not fun, being able to spend time with dogs, both just hanging out at night and playing in the yard is something I am more than happy to offer! I love dogs and will be very attentive to their needs during my time with them, from any quirky needs they have to keeping on their schedule to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific

About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!

“Tara is warm, friendly, and reliable. She consistently checked in on my cat over several weeks and quickly became a wonderful companion for him.
