My dogs are definitely not used to people but they cozey-ed right up to Leigh Ann. She kept my updated with pictures throughout, and asked ample questions beforehand so that she could make sure to provide great care. 10/10 will be calling for her again!

Bailee took extremely good care of my french bulldog Tank. Not only was she very accommodating and checked in frequently, she also was able to respond and watch him within a days notice. Bonus points for taking him on a long walk and to see my fraternity brothers… Definitely recommend, and will use again.

Zoe did an excellent job caring for Rena while I was on vacation. She exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using her again! She stayed in touch with me and kept me informed. She proved to be more than responsible and trustworthy in my home.

We have 2 active high maintenance dogs and when my wife and I went away for a couple of nights Maya stepped in and handled their care perfectly. She sent lots of pics and the dogs looked very happy. The house was also spotless!! I highly recommend Maya if you need to trust someone with your animals. I would definitely hire her again

Cindy stayed at our house for 4 days with our beagles She was caring and attentive; she sent pictures and updates. And she was a great house guest! The dogs loved being at home and all of the extra attention that came with it. We would definitely have her take care of our pets again and we would recommend her!

About: I have owned 7 dogs throughout my life. My family has also fostered 10+ dogs over the years. I have experience training animals, taking care of senior animals, and dealing with a variety of animal temperaments. I know how important pets are to a family so I always treat any dog I meet the same as I would my own. I work between 20-35 hours a week over the summer (Mon-Fri). However, I tend to have quiet evenings perfect for lounging with pets. I don’t work on weekends and have lots of free time then. Safety is very important to me when taking care of any animals. I always monitor animals when they are outside, I use proper harnesses when walking animals, and keep doors locked.

About: Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary! I am currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Penn State (student status subject to change). I will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I cannot provide boarding services at this time, so all my pet care services will be at or around your home. I can walk the dogs, play with them, make sure they are properly fed and watered, and take them outside regularly.

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.

Emma was so great. She showed up early and stayed the entire requested time. She took really good care of my baby boy and even brought in a heavy package that was delivered a day early so it wouldn't be sitting outside. She was very communicative and respective of my home. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.

Derya was great! He communicated really well. He also sent so many good pictures of our girls. I can tell they were well taken care of and enjoyed staying with him. The first part of our trip he stayed at our house, and once he knew the girls better, he took them to his house. I'm so glad we chose him. We will be rebooking!

About: By word of mouth I’ve been recommended to care for the dogs of my friends, family, community members. I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime and am willing to love yours as if they were my own while maintaining their needs and giving you lots of pup-dates I work part time mid day during weekdays at the YMCA and part time some nights at Tavola. I’m willing to work with you and care for your pet around these obligations! Though at this time I am unable to board, I will make sure your pet still feels comfortable in your own home even without you.

Leigh was great! Leigh watched our house and two dogs for a week and we got back everything was perfect. The kitchen was clean and the dogs were happy. The dogs are two young labs who have quite a bit of energy and she really did a great job with them. She sent quite a few pictures and was very responsive with any questions we had. I highly recommend Leigh and hope that she continues to dog sit in the future.
