Pet Sitting in Howard

“Virginia was very attentive and affectionate. She sent updates throughout the visits which were much appreciated while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for better care for my cat!”

Laura N.

“Corina was wonderful. She cared for my dog, Ty, and cat, Lola over the Holiday. She was punctual and spent time with both when she visited twice a day. I highly recommend her!”

Marlowe E.

“Kelly did an amazing job with our cat Milo while we were on vacation. Kelly kept us very informed on how our cat was doing and gave us great pictures. Our cat warmed up to her quickly. It was nice knowing our cat was being cared for so well. I would definitely recommend Kelly and will use her again when we go out of town.”

About: As an incoming 1st year vet student, I have devoted over 8000 hours to veterinary medicine. This has given me experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, including young puppies, senior dogs, fractious cats, and medically complex pets. Additionally, I am a dog foster and have recovered medically complex pups from intense surgeries/traumas. Given those experiences, I am comfortable administering medications both orally and injectables, as well as recognizing signs and symptoms of illness. As well, I have a behaviorally complex German Shepherd of my own, and feel comfortable recognizing and avoiding triggers, or safely deescalating situations if they arise. I currently work at an emergency vet with varying shifts, including some overnights, weekends, and evenings. This also means I have many days I can spent my time exclusively with your pets to get some energy out during the daylight! I welcome the opportunity to discuss my schedule during your trip specifically! After a lifetime in veterinary medicine & kennel assistant responsibilities, I’ve learned the ins and outs of pet safety, especially with behaviorally complex pets. I am happy to work with each pet specifically to cater to where they feel best- whether that be crated, on the couch beside me, or anywhere in between!

“Crystal was so sweet and kind! She sent many photos and videos of our cat and even offered to go above and beyond our expectations. Overall, she was a great sitter and this was honestly the best experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Highly recommend!!!”

“Abbie did a wonderful job looking after our two cats. She followed all of our instructions and somehow even got our one very shy cat to gladly interact with her. Definitely will be using again!”

Paul N.

“Sara was wonderful!! We had to book her fairly last minute. She came right away to meet the dogs and kept me up to date on the visits.”

Tessa T.

“Elisa did a great job taking care of my cats and gecko! She gave a detailed report on how my pets were doing and on the care she gave them.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals, primarily dogs, since I was a little girl, around age 5. I was raised with coonhounds and a beagle and enjoyed helping to feed and bath our coonhounds. I would show our coonhounds in dog shows and I had no issues handling a bigger breed. My beagle was my house dog and best friend and went everywhere with me. I am currently a dog mom to two beagles. Ringo, age 13, and Jakey, age 10. I recently rescued Jakey from Nittany Beagle Rescue, and I am a volunteer dog walker with the organization as well. Prior to Jakey, I had a rescue beagle named Brewski. Brewski had back issues and as he got older, he required a doggie wheelchair to help with his outdoor mobility needs and required doggie belly wraps for incontinence issues. I currently work so I am available any time on the weekends to care for your pet. I am also available most evenings beginning around to walk your pet. I currently use a leash for my dogs, or a tie out when they need to go out to the bathroom. I do not currently crate my dogs, but have crated them in the past.

About: I have been a volunteer foster at Centre County Paws for 8 years. I have fostered 8 week old puppies to 13 year old senior dogs. I have seen it all: separation anxiety, severe malnutrition, high energy, resource guarding, dog aggression, etc. Your dogs are my top priority and I want to keep their routines consistent as possible. I am currently a senior in highschool, so overnight stays are typically restricted to weekends until June, but I am flexible if you live within 20 minutes of Bellefonte. I am free for 7:30am pee breaks and any time after 3:00pm during weekdays. I have finicky dogs, so I understand providing for a dog with specific needs. I can jog, play fetch, snuggle, and any type of quality time your dog needs. I will spend lots of time with your cats, cuddling and playing with toys are my favorite activities!

“Samantha is fabulous she takes such great care of our dogs. We have used her previously and went right back to her when the need arose again. I would not hesitate to book with her. She keeps you informed and send awesome pictures. My pups just love her visits.”

About: I have had pets almost my whole life and love having dogs. I enjoy their company, seeing them happy, taking care of them, and playing with them. I take good care of my pets and make sure they are up to date on shots and vaccines, have food and clean water everyday, and have room outside to use the bathroom and run and play. I also make sure they are safe, happy, and get the exercise they need. I also like to spoil them with treats and lots of toys! I have trained my dogs to sit. I’m currently teaching my puppy to shake. I work full time during the day but am home in the evenings and weekends with my dog. I play with him outside and take him for walks. He stays in a crate during the day due to still being a puppy, but I try to have him out of his crate as much as possible. He is spoiled with treats, toys, and lots of love. He sleeps in bed with me at night and is allowed to be on the couch. He is part of the family! I currently have a male puppy (American Bulldog mix) that is very friendly. He loves people and dogs. I’m not sure how he is around cats. He doesn’t seem to pay attention to them but I’m sure he’d be fine around them. I have a fenced in backyard where he is able to run and play. He is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in bed with me at night. He is crated during the day when I’m not home due to still being a puppy. He is given a bath every week to every other week usually and is spoiled with love, treats, toys, and meeting other people.

About: I have my own cat who I got when she was a tiny bean! I have watched my neighbor's dogs and let them out when needed. I lived with a dog in college and took her on walks. I am waiting for my job to start up in mid-June, until then I have open availability! When my job starts I will be open some weekends and later in the evenings. I keep a watchful eye in fenced-in yards, you never know! If there is no fence I will always have the dog on a leash. Cats deserve just as much love! I will give them the attention they deserve.

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: I've had pets in my life since I was a child - dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats! I currently have one large dog (German Shepherd mix) and a cat. I'm comfortable caring for all sizes and types of dogs, any cats, or other small animals. I've worked with a trainer for my own dog for reactivity, and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs. I work full time during the week and am available for morning/evening visits and weekends visits or walks. I will give your fur babies the same love and care I give to mine, they are family! I work full time during the week so I am available for morning and evening visits during the week, and weekend visits or walks at any time. My fur babies are quite spoiled! I will give yours the same love and care. I'm professional, dependable, and genuinely love caring for animals, mine or yours!

About: Hi. I am Derya and I have a dog named Shenai. I have to mention that he is our activity coordinator. He welcomes the guest puppies with super fast tail wagging. He is very friendly and likes to share his toys with them. He plans the walks and indoor activities. He likes to show them the spring creek and many different trails nearby our house. I have full time job, I still make sure that your puppies will get plenty of walk and indoor activities during their stay. Shenai loves to play. When we have guest puppies my house turns to big playground for them. We have a big back yard and a lot of trails nearby our house. I can give oral medications if it is needed and Crete your puppies if it is their regular routine.

About: Hi! I’m Jonathan—an experienced coach, teacher, and dedicated dog lover now based in Bellefonte, PA. I’ve spent years working with kids and teams, which means I bring patience, structure, and strong communication into everything I do, including caring for your dog. I understand how important trust is when someone is looking after your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and check-ins at reliable times throughout the day. I stay active, so I enjoy incorporating walks and playtime into my routine—whether that’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I’m also used to managing schedules from coaching and teaching, so I prioritize being on time, organized, and consistent for every visit. On a weekly basis, I keep my availability flexible so I can accommodate different needs, including recurring walks or last-minute bookings when possible. I also make sure to communicate clearly with owners and provide updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan for and enjoy as part of my routine. I care for pets in your home as if they were my own. If your pet has special instructions just communicate that to me, no problem.

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.

“Maggie was great with our dog. Very reliable and great to work with!”
