“Liv was absolutely AMAZING. She went above and beyond, and did more for my pups than what she needed (which I appreciated so much). I was in Canada for about 10 days, and we needed someone to let my two pups out while my husband worked during the day, and I did not have any worry or anxiety with her looking after them. Thank you so much Liv for being so detailed in your care! Highly highly recommend!”
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”
“Madison was great with my dogs. They don't always want to go back into their crates but she was able to handle them. I felt better being on vacation knowing that someone was giving them some attention.”
“Sarah was amazing, highly recommend”
“I needed a sitter on short notice and Emily was able to help out. She is great with Sandy, I feel comfortable that my girl is in good hands. Will definitely continue to use Emily in the future.”
About: In addition to growing up with dogs, cats, horses, sheep and goats, I worked at Ben-Jee Kennels for two summers. My duties there included dog walking, feeding, administering medications, and facilities cleaning. I have also pet sat for many friends and am comfortable with animals of all sizes. My job allows me to work from home full time, with occasional travel within surrounding counties. This gives me the flexibility to house sit and dog walk during standard business hours. I do not have a fenced in yard at my property, so I will not be petsitting animals in my own home. I am more than willing to house sit or drop by to walk &feed animals.
“Leslie went above and beyond checking in on our kitties and our dog while we were away. She made sure everyone had water and treats and even checked a few other things around our home. We got pictures and an update each day as well. We will definitely be utilizing Leslie in the future to help care for our animals when we're away!”
“Again, we left our two babies in Julia’s hands! She was great and went above and beyond for us! Highly recommended for anyone needing a hand watching your animals. We will definitely ask for her help again.”
“Whitney always takes the best care of our Great Dane!”

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: I’ve been around cats and dogs all my life. I care about everyone’s pets just like they are my own and would love to take care of yours I am a full time teacher and my summer is wide free for anyone that may need care for their pets while they are at work, vacation, or away. I will care for your pets just like they were my own. I will follow whatever directions are provided for me to the best of my ability
About: I have always had dogs growing up and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I have had plenty of experience from taking care of my own pets and pet sitting for others over the years. I am currently a Senior at Penn State. My classes are mostly in the morning and afternoon but I have long breaks throughout the day to dog walk and check in with pets. I truly care about animals and want to make sure that they are well taken care of and as comfortable as possible. I am also happy to perform any special requirements that your pet needs. Your pet will be safe and happy with me!
“Ivy seemed to enjoy her daily visits from Megan based on the pictures and daily notes. I was satisfied with Megan and will reach out to her/Rover if I need a sitter again.”
About: I have 10 years experience with every type of animal from puppies, cats to horses reptiles and birds. I also have experience with dog training. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible with breaks, so your furry friend will get all of the attention that they require! I believe in utilizing all of the space available to provide the most optimal experience for the pet and for the family returning back home
About: I've loved animals of all kinds ever since I can remember and have always had pets while growing up and since, including dogs, cats, parakeets, turtles, rabbits and fish. I can't imagine not having animals as part of my family. We currently have a dog and six cats. My dog, who is part Jack Russel Terrier, was a puppy when we adopted him, so it was necessary to house-train him, which I was able to accomplish in just a couple of weeks. I don't know if it was my technique or just that he was very smart! I recently retired from full-time work and can devote lots of time to my dog & cats. I try to stick to a routine, though, similar to the one I had when I had a job: scooping the litter boxes in the morning & evening and feeding twice a day. My dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes so he requires an insulin injection after each meal, which needs to be very consistently timed. My dog has never been the type to want to run off on his own. We live in the country far back from the road but, because he won't even go outside unless I go with him, a fence or restraint isn't needed. However, I have lived in cities where having dogs on a leash was necessary so I have experience with that - having walked 3 dogs at once at times in the past. I would never let someone else's dog outside without a leash, tie-out, or fenced in yard. My cats stay indoors to keep them, as well as, the birds and other wildlife safe but, if a client's cat is allowed outdoors, I will do as they wish.
“Myranda was a life saver! She helped us out when we unexpectedly needed to find someone to take our puggles out for their mid-day break, and she was great! Great communication, and she shared photos while she was with them that made our day. Highly recommend!”
About: I have two pups of my own, a shitzu and boxer. My house is dog friendly and your pup will become one of the family over their stay with us. Treats, walks, and belly rubs for all. I work a full time job but am off all weekends. I am happy to host your animals Friday-Sunday. Optional weekdays possible after discussion on care. I own a house in town with a privacy fence in my back yard. Dogs are allowed to free roam the house while I am there, unless otherwise instructed.
“Cassidy did a great job with drop in visits. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in good care with her. Her reports for each visit were thorough and helpful. We will certainly keep Cassidy in mind for future visits.”
About: I've worked in vet med for over four years. I've owned animals my whole life and currently have four of my own critters (one dog and three kitties). I currently work part time while going to school. My schedule is a bit different every day of the week, so please let me know what you need and we can make a plan! I have a ton of experience with cats and dogs, both in my personal life and my professional life. Because I'm an experienced vet tech, I'll be able to recognize any concerning signs with your pets while you're away, and I'm trained to give medications if needed (oral, topical/ears, injectable).
About: I grew up working on a tiny farm, and assisted in kenneling dogs for my mother’s business for 7 years. I’ll take care of yours as they were my own, I currently have two bulldogs🥰 a chinchilla & a gecko. I’ve had both large dogs (Mastiffs) & tiny so the size & slobber is never an issue! I would love kind & re-occurring clients 💜 I do have a full time job, where I work typically until 3pm daily. So I am open to late afternoons & evenings. And if I am off then -any time of day. I will come to your home where your pet/pets are comfortable. I recommend a meet and greet prior. To make sure we are compatible, And can go over everything so I can be the best temporary pet parent.

Samantha Z.
“Sam has been a reliable and caring presence in my dogs’ lives for years. She has pet sat for me many times, sometimes for days at a time, and I can say without hesitation that she’s one of the very few people I trust with my dogs. My dogs are high-energy and one is dog-reactive, which is not an easy combo, but Sam understands their needs and handles them with patience and confidence. She will send me updates, helping me always feel at ease knowing they’re in her hands. My dogs absolutely light up when they see her, which says everything about how much they love and trust her. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and experienced, Sam is the one.”

“Amanda has her own energetic Corgi as well as two cats she has had for a long time. She has been around dogs her entire life and does well with big and small breeds. She has been around my 3 dogs and never has shown any difficulty being around any of them. She has cared for her cats, and always makes sure their health comes first. I think she would do great caring for any dogs or cats.”
