About: I am a life-long pet owner and lover who approaches pet care with organization, care, and empathy. I would be so happy to bring some extra joy and fun into your pets' lives! I am able to provide overnight care and walking services over the weekends, and have evening availability during the weekdays. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with you to support what is best for your pet! I am here to provide a caring and fun visit to your fur babies. I would love to take them on walks, play and fetch, and provide lots of snuggles. I also have experience giving a wide variety of medications to pets, as well as supporting crate training.
About: Throughout my life, I’ve taken care of 4 cats, 2 dogs, three guinea pigs & a ball python. I am comfortable with any species and breed! I’ve held great responsibility to walk, feed, groom and play with my own & others fur babies. I’m up for any task.. big or small. I’ll be there for your pets needs. Currently I hold a full-time job as a support manager. I don’t have a consistent schedule, but I’ve been able to walk/feed pets before and after work. I mostly do mornings and mid shifts. With that being said, I can make it work. Let’s talk! I've never cared for someone elses pet in my own house. I prefer to stay at a clients home, so the animal(s) is comfortable and the necessities needed to perform my duties for said pet are easily accessible.
“I am very happy with the care Trish provided for my cat while I was away. She was reliable and responsible. My cat came out to say hi, who is usually shy, which says a lot! I received regular updates and photos. When I returned, everything was clean and organized.”

“Crystal was absolutely amazing! She was patient with me setting up (because I work crazy hours and was a nightmare for booking), yet was good at sending reminders and updates. She took great care of my little chores gremlin and my prima dona and it was fantastic to not need to panic at all while I was on vacation. Crystal is fantastic with cats and reading cues, she was even able to give them their own areas when they were overwhelmed. I can not recommend her enough!!!”
About: I’ve been around pets since the age of 5. Growing up I’ve hand numerous dogs at one time caring for them on a full time basis. As a young adult I continued that with various different breeds as well as cats, rabbits, and fish. I have 30+ years experience with “bully breeds” and to the smallest of breeds at the same time I can drop in 3 times a day to feed, walk or leave out, and spend time with any animal. I love walking dogs also! My pets are indoor pets that are truly loved and nurtured with a balance of positive behavior reinforcement with the respect of them feeling safe in their own space. My dogs have over an acre to run freely in and are trained to stay on the property boundaries. My 3 kitties are all indoor but love the fresh air and have their own cat curio placed outside one window for them to go out and enjoy the nice air without being outside in danger
About: I've been looking after animals since I was young. I've always been around them and taught how to properly care for them. I've been trusted to watch neighbors, friends, and family pets while they were away. I know how to care for really young pups to senior dogs who need medications and a higher level of love and attention than other dogs. As well as everything in between. I love animals and making them/seeing them happy makes me happy as well. I’m currently working part time from 10-4 Monday-Thursday so I still have lots of time to engage with and care for my own animals as well as others! I have a large yard for your pup to run around and my own pup to keep company. We often go for walks/hikes/bike rides and if the weather is nice we go for swims in a local river and lake! We can be very active and also sleep most of the day away! All depends on pups energy and comfort levels. Everything I do is based around my dog (and the other pups) comfort level and energy level. I have long leashes (70ft) for fun time outside if your pup cant be offleash.

Damien V.
“Phillip Leidy 264 Tussey Sink Rd. Centre Hall, PA 16828 phillipleidy@gmail.com 215.206.3259 Sept 1, 2023 My husband and I have a pretty special rescue dog named Dexter. He’s an extremely loving and bright dog, but has his share of issues. I wouldn’t classify him as an easy dog to take care of by any means. Finding Damien was a relief because he is a pro at understanding and caring for dogs, and we knew Dexter was in capable hands. Damien is our go-to dog walker and in-home dog sitter. We’re normally nervous about leaving our dog, but after our first time having Damien as our dog sitter, we immediately felt comfortable leaving him under his care. We got frequent photo and video updates of his visits with Dexter, and could see he absolutely adored his time with him. We always came home to find a tired dog (he spent a lot of his visits playing with him and tiring him out) and a well taken care of house. It was always a relief being able to be away from home long-term and know that our dog having a wonderful time. I can be reached at the contact information above (email is easiest to reach me) if you have further questions about our experience with Damien’s dog sitting/walking services. Phillip Leidy”
