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.
“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 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.”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our pets! She took Ruby for long walks/runs, cuddled with our cats, and sent lots of pictures. She really seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We’d be happy to book 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 grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals. I currently care for my sweet senior dog, Diamond, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, so I understand the special attention older pets need. I also have experience caring for a blind dog. I've volunteered at two animal shelters and have experience pet sitting for others. I'm also very active and love going on walks or playing outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide calm, compassionate care that fits their unique personality and needs. I'm currently a student at Penn State and on summer break, so my schedule is very open. I'm taking one online class and working part-time with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of availability to walk, check in on, or stay with your pets. I'm happy to provide in-home pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I'm very mindful about securing doors and gates, and I have experience slipping in and out carefully so curious pets don’t sneak out. I also double-check locks and can crate your dog if needed. I always stick to your pet’s usual routine and walking routes to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm patient, calm, and committed to creating a safe, familiar environment where your pets feel loved and cared for.

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!”
