Cat Sitting in Juniata Terrace

About: Always joking that dogs are superior but in truthfulness love all animals. Experienced with dogs but open to providing care for other pets. Will strictly adhere to owner requests, so long as they are humane. (Furniture ok vs not allowed, food/walking schedule, treats, etc.). There will be no shortage of affection and attention, assuming the pet is receptive. Open to assisting with reactive or challenging pets. Attempting to build a trusting bond is an inherent desire. Work from home so (brief) walks, potty breaks, playtime, etc can be provided through entirety of day. Longer walks before 8am or after 5pm. Available 24/7 on weekends and holidays. Live alone so no concerns about other pets or children. Have decent sized yard but do require a leash since there is no fence. Safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood.

“Bridget was amazing! So friendly, thorough, and professional. I am a bit of a nervous cat mom. Bridget put me, and us, right at ease. It allowed us to enjoy our trip, and family, worry-free. So appreciative!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthair Pointer as a family dog, so high energy is nothing new to me. I have senior dog experience that includes medication administration (including oral, topical, and injectables), palliative care, and hospice care. I have worked with dogs that do not have the use of their back legs, and dogs who have to wear diapers and need assistance using the restroom. I am a high school senior with early release. I can be out of school as soon as 11:15 to care for your pet. I do not have a fenced yard. I love to play with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I will walk whatever animal that you need, I am also able to take them on hikes if that is something there is interest in. I often care for farm animals including horses and cows, so I am available to care for them as well.

“Meredith was wonderful for my kitty while I went away on spring break. Sent tons of picture updates and helped keep her water cycled, fed and entertained.”

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.

“We needed a new petsitter after the last one moved out of town. We contacted Sarah and it was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, she followed all the instructions for their care, like giving them their favorite treats, toys, grooming. Also, we loved the pictures she send everyday. We will book her again next time we need to.😊”

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets, ranging from hamsters to horses. I am willing to work with you and your furry friend to make sure everyone has the best experience possible! I am currently a high school senior, but I am available to hang out with your pet any weekday evening, or anytime on the weekends. The most important thing to me is comfort, so I do all that I can to make sure that your pet is comfortable and feels safe and loved. I won’t force them to be my friend, but I will give them as much love and attention as they want.

“Went above and beyond to take care of my pets and house. Even stayed longer than asked when my flight home was delayed!”

About: I have had a dog since I was 12. I also have taken care of neighbors and family members dogs for them. Puppies are always fun, but the older ones are always looking for love. So I work 8am till 5pm. If anyone would need me to look after their pets from 6am till 7:30am I could do that. And any time after 5pm I could care for your pets on the days I am available. So I do not have a fenced in yard. But my Boxer and Frenchton have learned to walk on a leash. My Boxer loves going for walks and chasing any toy that we throw! The Frenchton likes to stay cool and play indoors, with the cats we have.

“Alexus was wonderful with our fur babies! We have grumpy 15 year Yorkiepoo, Dooney, that doesn’t do great with new people, but and he was fine with Alexus. She even gave Dooney his medicine. We also have a rescue Yorkie that weighs 2 pounds who needs to be coaxed to eat. Alexus let him sit on her lap and held his food dish until he was comfortable enough to eat! She’s the dog whisperer ? Alexus was great with communication, very flexible and sent us awesome photo updates every day. We would love to have Alexus look after our babies again, and would recommend her to others!”

“Emily took very good care of our cat Cali. She sent lots of pictures showing that Cali was doing well. Cali seemed to warm up to Emily quickly. We would use her again.”

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

About: I've been house sitting for friends and family since I was 12. It allowed me to supplement my income and work with the animals that I have loved since a young age. I was a vet tech in high school and during the first few summers in college, gaining small animal medicine and husbandry experience. In addition, I worked at a two different doggy day cares throughout my graduate and undergrad degrees, gaining a lot more experience with dogs and a little bit of dog training. Both of these degrees are also in animal science. I love pets of all kinds and have looked after everything from horses to dogs and cats, to birds. I am new to the area as a recent Penn State hire and don’t have established contacts for dog sitting like I did in the areas that I lived for my degrees. I work full-time but have a fair amount of flexibility to work remotely up to 3 or 4 days a week. If you have a stable wifi connection I will be more available to spend time with your pups although there may still be some days I need to be gone for work for up to 8 hours. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if that is your preference. I will not be boarding dogs as my landlord does not allow pets. I am respectful of your home and space and treat your pets as I would my own!
