“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”
“Sarah was a great sitter. She's very conscientious, being sure to let me know my hound had peed inside and then repeated this behavior. I appreciated her staying in contact trying to figure out what was best for him. The cats took to her which was no surprise. She is a pleasant and friendly person. I would ask her to sit again.”
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.
“Sarah is one of the best sitters I’ve ever found. So grateful to her! I came home to a very happy pup, and a clean home. She sent lots of pics and updates. I hope to book with her again.”
“Lexi did a very good job of caring for our for babies! We asked her to do several extra things and she did so willingly and did a very good job. I would highly recommend Lexi for pet sitting your for babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My family has almost always had 2 dogs. I’ve had two puppies so far that i’ve trained and raised from about 8-10 weeks. I am currently in college at the moment in State College but I live at home in Petersburg. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday and my last class of the day ends at 12:15 or 2:05 every day. I have most evenings open from then on. I do have a part time job that I usually work 4-5 days a week . I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in the country so I don’t have many neighbors or roads to worry about. My puppy stays in a kennel during the day as he still likes to chew and my older dog does not go in a crate. They both have plenty of toys to play with and a big yard to run around in.

About: I've grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals.

Jenia B.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter! Jenia went above and beyond while caring for our entire crew—an energetic dogs, and even our backyard flock of chickens. From the start, she was communicative, responsible, and incredibly kind with all our animals. Our dogs were clearly well-exercised and, and our chickens were healthy, secure, and even gave us more eggs than usual—must be Jenia’s calming presence! We got regular updates, photos, and check-ins that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was clear that our pets got lots of love and attention while we were gone. If you’re lucky enough to book Jenia, do it! We will absolutely be reaching out again for future trips. Highly, highly recommend!”
