My dogs were so well taken care of! I couldn’t be happier with Amber and her family. She treated them so nicely and I loved the pics of them she provided throughout the week. I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend her! ?

Heather is absolutely wonderful! From our initial meet and greet, I instantly felt comfortable leaving Milo with her. I trust very few people to watch him and I didn’t have a single worry while we were on vacation. She provided multiple updates and pictures daily and I knew he was well taken care of just like he would be at home. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy!!

Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.

Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!

Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.

About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.

Allie came thru when I needed her most. Flight delays made it impossible to be home in time to pick up my pup. Allie graciously agreed to keep Sami another day. So grateful that Allie was able to help make this uncontrollable situation manageable.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up. Anywhere from small, medium, to large dogs. I’ve had mini dachshunds, Dalmatians, St. Bernards, and German Shepherds. Currently right now I have a 3 Golden Retrievers named Willie, Waylon, and Hank. I also have a cat named Cash! I current work full time Monday-Thursday.

We have a 2 acre yard that my pups are free to roam via a underground fence. But we also have a lead for my moms dogs when she brings them over to play. We have a big house with a good sized living room and kitchen where all of my pups play as well when we have to be inside.

About: I was a care worker for most of life and had a career change at 25. I have done my share of taking care of the elder and animals. I have taken care of my own animals and others over my life time. I'm back in the Altoona area after the military. I was also known as the "crazy cat lady" during my most recent military deployment to the Middle East. I helped take care of the feral cats around camp by reporting new cats and taking care of one particular. I am a full-time student and am available after 5 pm and weekends. I update my schedule regularly for days I will not be available. I have a cat with chronic UTIs. I spend the extra time and money to make sure she is taken care of so I will make sure your animals receive the same care and love she does.

About: I’m a retired Senior who is very physically active. In this location for 2yrs and was thinking of getting a dog but then thought this might be a great way to get my doggie (cat) “ fix”. I raised 4 children and we always had various pets as they were growing up. All 4 of my grown children have their own family pets. I’m also a Licensed Counselor so ‘helping’ is in my genes. I live in a very quiet neighborhood surrounded by cornfields so we would have lots of space to walk and explore. I would also be willing to accompany your pet to their vet for appointments. I’d love to care for your special pooch or kitty. Hope to hear from you soon!! I have also been ‘fostering’ thru PAWS of Centre County.
