“Elena was very kind and patient with Mika on her first walk. I appreciate the insight she brings to caring for our dog. Mika is looking forward to her next visit.”


“So grateful to have someone that can walk my large breed gentle giant of a dog. David knows how to handle her, this is what is important to me. Roxy is a reactive pure bred German Shepherd so it’s not easy walking her but I have full confidence in David and his experience with dogs. It’s a blessing and I’m lucky to have found him. Thank you David.”

“Malak is fantastic and I can't recommend her enough! Excellent communication, diligent with going over all care instructions, and clearly loves animals. Thank you Malak for taking such excellent care of my Jack!”


“Raella was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. She was communicative, sent us plenty of photos and you can tell that she genuinely loves animals! I definitely plan to be a repeat customer.”


About: As someone who has personally cared for six dogs at once—including different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels—I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for when you're away. I’m naturally organized, reliable, and attentive to routines, whether that means scheduled walks, feedings, medications, or crate time. I treat every pet with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs playtime or an older dog who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I also keep communication clear and consistent—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a responsible sitter who respects your home and genuinely enjoys caring for animals, I’d love to connect. I have no problem taking special instructions from owners being that some breeds need to be taken care of differently. Dogs have always been special to me and being a dog sitter/care giver is a great opportunity. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open at the moment! I prefer the mornings over afternoons but whichever the customer prefers. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and respect—for both the pet and the space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that includes feeding times, walks, crate time, or medications. I give pets plenty of attention and play, while also being mindful of their energy levels and boundaries. I always clean up after myself (and them), and make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. I check in regularly with photo updates and am available if you have any specific instructions or changes. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away—without disrupting their normal environment.

About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs since I was 10 years old, developing hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds over the years. My experience includes two beloved family dogs—Zeus, a 120-pound Pitbull, and our old senior dog Hannah, a 65-pound Whippet Mix—as well as others such as Cane Corsos, Maltipoos, Labradors, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs. Currently, I am attending Penn State University, where I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My hands-on experience, combined with my academic focus, has provided me with unique insights into animal behavior, health, and training techniques. I am dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment that brings out the best in every pet I care for. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I’m very active and prioritize exercise, so taking dogs on walks and runs is not only part of my routine but also a great way to bond, provide enrichment, and reinforce training. These outings help dogs stay physically and mentally stimulated—and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Additionally for senior dogs, I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, recognizing when they need rest, or extra comfort and support. My academic focus at Penn State revolves around animal care as I pursue a career in veterinary medicine, so I’m constantly learning about animal behavior, health, and wellness. This makes caring for pets both a personal passion and a meaningful extension of my studies. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely and provide a clean, secure space. I use positive reinforcement and repetition with treats to encourage good behavior and teach fun tricks. I don’t currently have pets at home, but I offer a fenced yard and plenty of room to play. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and adjust care accordingly, and I keep pet parents updated with regular photos, notes, and honest communication to reassure while they’re away.

“Thank you so much for walking my dogs. They looked happy and well taken care of! Will definitely reach out again when we need a dog walker!!!”


Haili D.
“Haili watched our two English Bulldogs for 6 nights/7 days and to say she was amazing is an understatement! My dogs are not easy to handle and she did it like a pro. My 68 lb male loves walks, he's really strong and can really pull and she had no problems handling him three times a day. Being bulldogs, they have plenty of medical issues and she literally handled all forms of meds including eye drops, ear drops, pills and even oral meds via syringe (lactulose for anyone who has a baby w/ stomach issues) and she did all this with no problem or pushback. She was very attentive and responsive when we checked in while giving us our space and not reaching out for every little thing so we can enjoy our vacation. She left the place just like we left it and cleaned up well considering my female vomits a lot and uses wee wee pads for all her bathroom breaks. She was very professional and sweet and I'd highly recommend her for any pet walking or sitting!”

Sara G.
“Our cat, Cosmo, is just over a year and a half old and still quite shy around people outside our family. Sara has shown incredible patience and caring from the first time she met him. Coming from a family of pet owners, she understands the unique qualities of each pet and customizes her time based on individual pet needs. We've now hired her multiple times and are incredibly relieved to have someone we trust with Cosmo. As for Cosmo, he's always relaxed and quite content when we return, so we know he agrees.”

Noelle is an absolute gem! This was her first meeting with Finn, and it couldn’t have gone better. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs—Finn instantly adored her! Not only does she make sure Finn gets plenty of exercise, but she also keeps me updated with adorable photos, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands. She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!

Indhu went above and beyond taking care of Yoshi and Butters this weekend. My boys are both around ~70lbs and Indhu was able to successfully walk both around my community and also went above and beyond. She typically fosters doggies and knows how to take care of a vast range of doggie personalities. Knowing I was away today, she offered treats and water to my boys, and came prepared after asking all the right questions about and bespoke requests of what would be needed in my unique community. Thank you so much and looking forward to working with you again!
