Dog Walking Port Matilda

“Leigh came for a meet-&-greet prior to the walk and showed up dependably when we asked. Even sent a picture of our happy pup! We will definitely contact her again in a similar situation.”

“Bailee was patient and great with my very anxious dog. She provided lots of photos and feedback about her walk with him. Will definitely use her for future walks!”

About: I am a 20-year-old animal lover currently attending Penn State and looking to build a base of regular pet-sitting clients! I have over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I would love to become a trusted, familiar sitter for local families and their pets! 🐾 As a Penn State World Campus student living on campus, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I also have my own car, making it easy for me to travel to nearby homes for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. My flexible class schedule allows me to work around each pet’s individual needs, whether that means morning visits, midday check-ins, evening care, or regular walks. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to create a schedule that works best for them and their pets! 🐾 I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.

“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’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.

“I am traveling and had to leave Zeus, my 100lbs AmStaff with my mom and sister. Brigette was available short notice and she was punctual and communicative. She was not only comfortable and confident with my big strong boy, but she took my mom and sister along to teach them how to handle him. They had never walked a dog before this week and they say they can now walk him with confidence. her help was absolutely invaluable! She is incredible! I simply cannot speak highly enough of her. If i ever need any help with Zeus again. she is the one!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I still do to this day. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out! I have a pretty flexible schedule as I work from home most days of the week. I’d love to take your pup for a walk around the neighborhood! I have 2 cats and a puppy. I would treat any pet as if they were my own and make sure you’re happy and trusting that I’ll take care of them.

About: Ive been around pets my whole life. For as long as I can remember I’ve had dogs in my home. My family is also a rescue family so I’m very confident with many breeds and ages. We also adopt a lot of senior dogs so I’m very confident in senior care. Can’t wait to spoil your pet! I currently work part time at Plato’s Closet State College where I am a seasonal supervisor. I either work 9-5 or 1-9 but my schedule depends week to week. Reach out and we’ll figure that schedule out! Safety is very important to me. I always will monitor animals when they are outside and make sure to use proper harnesses for walks. I do not offer pets to stay in my home. When I’m home from the summer we have a very full house of animals already!

About: I love take walks, so walking you pet(s) would not be an issue. I also love interacting and be being there for them as well. I find that being there and understanding their queues and their needs is a very big thing. I would be able to look after your pet(s) after 8a.m and before 2p.m. This would be during the week day and sometimes the weekends as well. This varies by what eat pet(s) would need, but I know for my dogs wiping them after they walk is a big thing. I would also abide to any rules or regulations they would need and also treat them as my own as well.

About: Hi there! I'm Emma, and I've had a passion for working with animals for over a decade. I've grown up around and helped raise dogs and cats my whole life, but my real experience with dogs and pet sitting began in 2015 during my undergraduate years, when I worked at an indoor dog daycare for three years caring for a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments for up to six hours a day. That role gave me a strong foundation in reading dog behavior, managing group dynamics, and ensuring every pup felt safe and comfortable. Alongside my daycare work, I built a steady base of 2–3 private clients throughout both my undergraduate and graduate careers, providing regular dog and cat sitting on a more personal, one-on-one basis. I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. My experience includes working with pets of all ages and breeds, those with anxiety or separation issues, and animals that require medication to be administered. Whether your pet needs lots of reassurance or just a calm, reliable presence, I'm here to make sure they're happy and well cared for while you're away! I'm currently in my third year of my PhD program at Penn State, and since I'm no longer taking classes, my schedule is much more flexible than it used to be. Most of my days are spent reading and writing from my laptop, which honestly makes me an ideal pet sitter, I'm home, I'm calm, and I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. This means I can easily build my day around your pet's existing routine, whether that's morning walks, midday playtime, or afternoon naps on the couch next to me. I find that having a furry companion around actually makes those long work sessions much more enjoyable for both of us! I'm fully available for walks, overnight stays, and everything in between, and I'm always happy to follow whatever schedule works best for your pet. Whether I'm caring for your cat(s), dog(s), or both, my approach is the same: attentive, consistent, and tailored to your pet's individual needs. I'm naturally detail-oriented, and that really comes through in how I care for animals, I pay close attention to their behaviors, moods, and routines to make sure their day-to-day feels as normal as possible while you're away. My time working at an indoor dog daycare gave me hands-on training in dog safety, behavior, and best practices for creating a calm, secure environment, experience I carry into every sitting job. I know that a settled, predictable routine can make a big difference for pets, especially those that are sensitive to change or prone to anxiety, so I always make it a priority to follow your pet's existing schedule as closely as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and at ease, and for you to feel confident that they're in good hands.

About: I've had 2 dogs, and I had a wonderful list of clients in Vermont. They were friends or became friends. Your dog is my love. I am retired. My daily schedule is fairly flexible right now except for a morning class at the Y. This is my only part-time job. I follow all of your expectations, and I will spend a lot of time cuddling and playing. I also talk a lot to your pets!

“Phoebe was fabulous! She went out of her way to accommodate my location and took great care of Luckey.”

About: I grew up with a boxer-mix her name was Ruby (she unfourtently passed away:( I also volunteer at the local shelter near my college where I walk all kinds of dogs all ages. I feed them, walk/ play with them, and make sure they are healthy. I attend Penn State University and volunteer at Centre County Paws. I am a full time student at Penn State University studying biology. Although I am studying a good amount, I have a pretty light schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays and anytime after 2 pm Monday Wednesdays and Fridays. I find that caring for pets is a nice break from all of the studying and stress of school and am more than willing to taking a few hours out of my day to interact with dogs or cats. At Penn State, I live in a pet friendly apartment and right next to a neighborhood where I could take dogs for walks. Back at home, I have a fenced in yard, and we took my dog, Ruby to the beach, for walks, and to the park once or twice a day! Unfortunately my fur baby passed from cancer last year so I have missed being able to take her for walks. At the shelter I volunteer at, (Centre County Paws) I take 2-3 dogs for walks and make sure that the dogs all have their meals, water, and that their bowel movements are looking good and if not I will take note of that!

About: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific

About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I am well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on so I can handle anything your pets have to offer. I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.

About: I have taken care of dogs and lived with dogs my entire life. I have watched many of my friends and family’s dogs and cats. I am currently working part time and have a lot of free time this summer and have time to walk dogs and take care of cat throughout the week/weekend. I am an animal person and love dogs and cats and would love to take care of your dogs and cats going for walks, ect.

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life from dogs to cats to rabbits and many more. I loved taking my dog for walks, but sadly she has passed away so I would love to walk your dog. I also love cats, I had one cat a few years back, but my parents won’t let me get another one so if you have a cat I would give it and / or your dog all types of love. I love any type of dog or cats or any other animal! I currently work full time at Penn State from 5am to 1:30pm. I would gladly care for your pets over nights, do drop-in visits or walks! I will do whatever is necessary to make sure you and your animals feel safe and comfortable while you are gone and I will send pictures whenever you ask!
