About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

“Idaly did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry because she kept me updated on how they were doing.”

“Elizabeth is the best with our cat! She sent me daily updates throughout the week and made me feel secure and less worried about having to leave. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely incredible service. Julie’s attention to details was outstanding. We would recommend Julie over and over again. If you want someone to care for your fur babies while you are away, this is the person to contact. My cat Elsa is not the friendliest to strangers but she warmed right up to Julie two days in. Look forward to have her take care of my babies when we go on our next trip. The visit information that I received assured me that my pets were in good hands. Always on time and great communication with me with the status of the each visit. Julie thank you so much !”

“Christina was amazing always on time went above and beyond very trustworthy. I will use her over and over and over again without a doubt. I also like the fact that she always kept me up-to-date as to what was going on took wonderful pictures and really put my mind at ease while we were away. I cannot say enough good things about her.”

About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Hannah was amazing! She was so understanding when we had to change plans unexpectedly. Her organization and attention to detail were top-notch, and we really appreciated getting photo updates of both dogs after each visit. Definitely plan to book Hannah again in the future!”

“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

About: I have worked as a dog trainer and have taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles for the past 10+ years. I always put the needs of animals above my own and will treat your pets as if they were my own! I have taken care of dogs with different medical needs and animals of all ages. I am available on weekends and evening hours. I can stop in and spend time with your pets or take your dog for a walk if youre running late or if you have weekend plans. I always put the pets safety and needs above everything else. I will make sure they have always have access a clean environment and anything they needs to stay safe and happy.

“Desirae exceeded our expectations. Not only did she go above and beyond by keeping us consistently updated on our small dogs, but she did so without us even having to request it. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were truly commendable. Moreover, her polite demeanor, kindness, and punctuality made our experience even more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to utilize her services again in the future.”

About: I have worked as a veterinary nurse (ER, and general practice) for over 5 years taking care of all types of animals. I have been pet sitting privately for years, and take great pride in providing pets with a calm loving approach to make sure they are as happy as possible. Having my background in Vet-med I can confidently give owners peace of mind that their pets will always be safe, and have knowledge about senior care, anxiety, and other special health conditions. My schedule at the animal hospital I work for is very flexible, so I can be available when needed for the most part. Weekdays, nights and weekends are available depending on whatever owners need. I have extensive knowledge about animal safety, health, and enrichment. As well as understanding of different breeds/ages requirements. If your pet needs to be medicated daily, if they need extensive activity, or if you need someone to continue training while you’re away that is not a problem at all. For drop in visits I typically spend about an hour (depending on whatever you want) with the animals to make sure they are comfortable and happy when I leave. For walks it is dependent on breed/size/age, for example border collies need more exercise than bulldogs and seniors’ joints may not work as well as they used to. I can also provide mental stimulation for your pets via puzzles/games/light training. For in home pet sitting, I ask for an extensive run down or list of their typical daily routine to make sure their life is as close to normal as possible, which helps ease any anxiety they might have not having their owners home. I require “meet and greets” for all new pets/clients before I agree to walk/pet sitting, trust is extremely important to me and I want to make sure my clients always have peace of mind. I am also always reachable via phone/text, and love sending owners updates with cute photos/videos.

“Bryan was great with our dogs. He was punctual, attentive, and communicative. We will definitely rebook with him and strongly recommend.”

About: I have had three family dogs total and I currently have a King Charles who is very needy. I have trained my King Charles to do several tricks from a young age. I also currently live with a Great Dane and a Poodle, St. Bernese mix. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds and I often petsit for my neighbors dogs. I am in charge of walking, feeding, and bathing the pets that I have pet sat for. I am a recent college student at Penn State in State College. I have a very flexible schedule for petsitting and I am willing to travel! I will trust my clients instincts with how they provide for their animal. I want to follow the rules and guidelines that the owner provides for me and I can improvise if needed.

“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”

“Emily did a fantastic job dropping in for my cat Mika while I was away. She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures with how Mika was doing. Mika is typically hides while visitors are in the house, but over they days she warmed up to Emily and gladly accepted treats. I will most certainly use Emily again to watch over Mika.”

Christopher R.

“Mike was available last minute. He’s always responsive and on time. He takes good care of my dogs and is respectful of my home. Thanks, Mike!”
