“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”
“Aubrey was wonderful, responsive, reliable, and took great care of my kitty while I was out of town around thanksgiving! She went above and beyond to make sure the little quirks and preferences my cat has were taken care of (water from a sink, some time outside in an enclosed area, etc). Also appreciated the regular updates, the report cards through Rover, and the pictures she sent! Would absolutely recommend her and will use her for future kitty sitting needs! Thanks, Aubrey!:)”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels — from playful young labs and doodles to senior dogs and cats needing extra patience and attention. I’m naturally calm and gentle, but I also love matching a pet’s energy through play, walks, and engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully focus on pet care. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, exercise, and regular updates for owners throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos for owners while they’re away.
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: I have cared for my 15 year old pup since she was 8 months old. I know the ups and downs of being a pet partner and the unconditional love it brings to life. Also, I am the person who might notice your fur baby before you, so apologies in advance ;) Currently I am not working but in graduate school. I have been interviewing for a part time job so that might be added to my schedule eventually. Please contact me for me details on person schedule as it can change for each semester. I am currently only looking to walk dogs or do check ins. Currently my dog takes 4-5 walks a day since she is elderly. She is taken care of like a human and always has been. I never leave my dog home alone for more than 6-8 hours.
About: I’ve had pets since i was born. My home was full of dogs, not always mine. Love to be around them and getting to know their personalities. Taking care of them and giving them lots of love is what i enjoy the most. I have a very flexible weekly schedule, Monday through Saturday, doesn’t matter the time so i’m sure we can make everything work out with yours! How I take care of my clients pets depends 100% of my client. Whatever you ask for and whatever the pet needs are, I am willing to make it all like if you were doing yourself!
“Rebecca took great care of my cats during the week I was gone. She is reliable, thorough, and obviously loves animals. I'll absolutely have Rebecca take care of my fur babies the next time I'm out of town. Beth”
About: I have experience with different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs. I enjoy being active, spending time at home, and taking pics of animals I work full time in healthcare. Available mornings before 7am and after 5:30-6pm on week days for walks. I am also free any time on weekends!! I make sure the pets can hang out with me instead of in a crate while I am present in the home. I make sure to supervise and ensure pets are not damaging household items. I also enjoy being outdoors and I would take the pet/dog on a walk if allowed.
About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.
About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.
“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.
About: I have a certificate as a vet assistant. I also have lots of experience dog sitting and even have a pet rabbit. I have taken care of younger dogs, as well as older dogs. I will be continuing my education to become a veterinary technician! I have all summer to care and love on your animals! I have one week where I will be on vacation but other than that I would love to be there for your animals and provide the care and love that they need!!! I do not have a fenced yard, and I currently have a bunny too. So it would be better to be at your home or if needed I can keep them at my house and can be caged if needed to be.
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.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”

Misty was fantastic watching our dog Theo while I was away. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Misty was incredibly reliable and kept us updated throughout the whole stay. We always knew exactly how my pup was doing, with regular updates and prompt responses. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter
Kaitlin was wonderful. She came over to meet our dog the day before with short notice and was flexible about adding an extra visit when the forecast showed raining conditions. She took good care of our dog and was frequemtly in touch. She gained our dog's trust very quickly and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend her.
