About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.

“Tracy took such good care of our dog on his walk. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. She was very attentive to our dog’s needs. Will definitely be using her again”

“Lauren took really great care of patches. She came home twice during the 15 hours we were gone. Patches was excited but very well settled when we came home thanks to the great walks Lauren took her on! She was very responsible and communicative. Will definitely ask for her help again in the future.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I grew up always having a dog around so I have years of experience.

Carla exuded confidence in walking Parker around the block and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs.”

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: As a child, my family had a Maltese since he was a puppy and he lived until the age of 15 years old. His life expectancy was around 7 years old, so he was a senior dog. I learned how to take care of my dog at a young age and was responsible for taking care of him. Now, my parents and I have a puppy named Shylo Esch. He is a mix of Bernese mountain dog and mini poodle. I have attended puppy class with him at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I also frequently walk my family friend's dog who is a Labrador retriever. I grew up around dogs and learning to and caring for them, i have a deep love for taking care of dogs. I have a part time job I currently work around 20 hours per week, my shifts are short around 4-6 hours. I am currently taking a break from college classes, I used to attend PSU. I have various appointments scheduled in advance throughout the week. I make plans with friends and family whenever I have time to see them around my schedule. My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from puppy training class he attended & graduated from. We leash him for outdoor walks. However his best friends, Lola & Mocha, and sister, Maisie, are the only dogs so far we let play time off leash in our yard together. I am very caring for dogs and I also am trained by attending a puppy training class on how to do obedience and tricks. This was from Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I hold myself to a very strong work ethic and compassionate stance when dealing with fur babies and elderly dogs. In my clients home, I follow their rules and duties. I set up a meet n' greet with the dog and owner before committing. I like to meet the dog and see if we are a good fit by playing with the dog or taking them on a walk with the owner around their usual route. I ask various questions about how the owner takes care of the dog, so I can best follow their lead. I ask about daily routine activities, food schedule, treat frequency, walking time, habits, likes, dislikes, etc. I prefer to follow the daily routine and activities that the dog is used to in order to keep them on track.
