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: I always had a dog and cat growing up that I was responsible for. Ever since then throughout high school and college, I've had many pet owners have me come to their homes to care after their fur babies, and I have plenty of experience of stopping in to feed, leave out to the bathroom, and keep them company. I've taken care of puppies, adult dogs, and cats. The most experience I've had are with medium sized dogs, and some labradors. I'm also used to small breeds as my own dog is a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix. He is like my child and deserves the best, I can't imagine anything less so you can be confident that I feel the same way for your loved animal! I currently work full-time from home on weekdays, so I may be able to let your fur babies out to the bathroom or feed them during my lunch break depending on where you live. I am usually pretty flexible after 3:30pm on weeknights and anytime on the weekends! When caring for your loved pet, I will treat them as if they were part of my family. I listen to what you ask of me and make sure they're well taken care of and get plenty of attention.

About: I have taken care of animals for nearly 10 years and have experience with all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I am a pet owner myself, so I know how important it is to feel that your loved one is in good hands. I am always sure to follow directions closely, and do everything I can to ensure the animals have a safe and enjoyable experience. I'm currently a graduate student and have a pretty flexible schedule. For the summer, I am generally available any morning and evening during the weekday + any time on the weekend. I follow the care instructions, take note of the living area, monitor the animal for any signs of stress or illness, and provide them the attention they need, whether that be playing, petting, or spending quiet time with them.

“Samantha was wonderful and very easy to work with. Patches loved her! We'll definitely reach out the next time we need someone to walk patches.”

About: I have helped take care of my families pets since I was 17. We always had cats and at least one dog. I have also had a pet snake for 6 years. I have volunteered at pet shelters for many years and have a cat of my own. I can juggle many pets at once I am currently working full time but am passionate about animals and helping others. I am available for check-ins during the day, over nights throughout the week and weekend. I have my own cat her name is Harmony. I ensure that she always has food, water and fresh litter. I have experience working with animals in all shapes, sizes and disabilities. I am very adaptable, have a great attention to detail and can follow instructions to a T.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was born! I currently have two 80lbs dogs, Layla and Luna, and they are my best friends. I have watched my friend’s and neighbors dogs since I was 16 years old. I currently volunteer at PAWS, a local animal shelter. I am familiar with big and small dogs along with those with more specific needs. I currently work full time, 8AM-5PM M-F. However, I am remote Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and have a lunch break from 1-2pm. I can let your pup(s) out morning, afternoon, early evening, and night, along with more times if needed! I don’t have a fence in my yard but I have long leashes attached to my deck posts. Please provide me with more information about your pup and circumstances if you are looking to board!

About: I have owned dogs all of my life and volunteered with various animal rescues. I have cared for diabetic dogs and dogs with other special needs. I love every dog I meet and will treat your dog as my own. It will be showered with love and belly rubs. I would love the opportunity to pamper and love your dog as my own. I work part time in addition to attending grad school. My schedule is generally flexible. Feel free to reach out with specifics of your request and I will do my best to accommodate. I treat the dogs I sit as I would my own. We start our day with a morning walk before breakfast and play time. I am normally home by 4:30 and spend most evenings relaxing at home.

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.

About: Ever since we adopted my dog in 2019, I have been obsessed with caring for animals. I have taken my dog on at least 100 walks in his lifetime so far, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon! Additionally, I have been requested by multiple neighbors and friends to dog sit and cat sit for them. I have been dog sitting and catsitting for the same people for about 4 years now, so I would say I have a lot of experience!! I currently work part time at Kohls, so my schedule is a little all over the place. However, I am willing to set a strict availability in order to balance both jobs. Ideally, I can work during the week, but if weekends are needed, I can make some changes. I am very much a rule follower when it comes to watching pets in a clients home. I try to stay by the animals as much as possible to make sure they aren’t getting up to anything, while also staying in the common areas to respect my clients home. I love playing with the animals and giving tons of pets, so don’t worry about your pets being bored!

About: Growing up with a grandfather who owns his own clinic and is a veterinarian, I have had a lot of animals cats, dogs, and even a snake at one point. From these experiences, I have the ability and desire to take care of your pet and will do so with love and care. I’m a current college student home for the summer and holiday breaks and work part time at a local restaurant. This gives me ample amount of time to care for your little ones. I will 100% follow any and all rules given to ensure the safety of your animal. Therefore I understand that there are primarily indoor and outdoor animals.

About: I have worked in an animal shelter for almost 7 years. I was the kennel manager, I did the daily cleaning and walking of the dogs and cats and have experience in medicating them. I'm currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule, any time and days of the week work well for me. please feel free to ask me any questions I have tons of experience and know a lot about handling and caring for animals. I have 2 very loving cats but your pets would not be meeting them.

About: I’m a Penn State student, formerly an Animal Science major and now a third-year studying Psychology. I previously volunteered at PAW Pets Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and interacting with dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’m very patient when it comes to pet care, and I enjoy teaching and guiding pets step by step so they can feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I also have a toy poodle back home, so I understand the responsibility and attention that goes into caring for a dog every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a Penn State student, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with pets in the afternoon, taking them on walks in the evening and every morning, and making sure they get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I truly love spending time with animals and try to make the most of every moment I have with them. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to move around. My home has three floors, giving pets room to walk, explore, and stay active throughout the day. I also make sure they have a quiet bedroom space where they can rest comfortably. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.

About: My mom is a zoologist, so I was raised learning how to treat all animals with the best care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special food conditions. I know that our pets our just as much part of the family as humans, and I promise to provide them with the best and most loving care as if they were my own. I am currently a full-time college student with an internship that typically keeps me busy in the afternoons. However, my schedule is flexible with mornings and evenings typically being more open. From experience with my own pets, I find that dogs and cats miss their owners just as much as their owners miss them when they’re away, if not more. That being said, after completing any responsibilities the family has asked of me, I always take some extra time to hang out with the pets to make sure they feel loved while missing their family. I also find that the families appreciate picture and text updates of how their pets are doing while they’re gone. I always make sure to do that so the owners can trust their pets are in good hands.
