About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.

I’ll take care of your dogs or cats with care and diligence. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a wonderful neighborhood that I can walk your pet in.
“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

About: I’m a college student with a super flexible schedule and a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and hamsters — so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for friends and family, helping with everything from walks and playtime to overnight stays. I always treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm a college student currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open! I'm available most hours throughout the week and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I ever have limited availability, I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance. 😊 I have an open yard and can leash dogs as needed for outside time, which is also perfect for walks and play. Pets are welcome on the furniture unless you’ve trained otherwise. If I’m boarding in your home, I’ll be sure to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: With over 5 years of personal pet care experience, I’m a trusted caregiver for pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, timely care. Your pet will get the playtime, walks, and attention they deserve throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow any specific instructions you provide and always keep a close eye on your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. You can trust that your pet will be in caring, capable hands.
About: Hi there! I have been around pets and loving animals all my life. I’m open to caring for any pet, but I will admit I’m a big cat lover. I’m currently in college, so I frequently travel between Lock Haven and Spring Mills. However, I’m just quick drive away from State College and Bellefonte. I’m unavailable to offer care at my home due to space and my own animals, but I will provide care to animals in their homes and/or walking services.
About: I've grown up around critters of all types, including cats and dogs—big and small—and truly love being around animals. I currently care for my sweet senior dog, Diamond, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, so I understand the special attention older pets need. I also have experience caring for a blind dog. I've volunteered at two animal shelters and have experience pet sitting for others. I'm also very active and love going on walks or playing outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide calm, compassionate care that fits their unique personality and needs. I'm currently a student at Penn State and on summer break, so my schedule is very open. I'm taking one online class and working part-time with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of availability to walk, check in on, or stay with your pets. I'm happy to provide in-home pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I'm very mindful about securing doors and gates, and I have experience slipping in and out carefully so curious pets don’t sneak out. I also double-check locks and can crate your dog if needed. I always stick to your pet’s usual routine and walking routes to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm patient, calm, and committed to creating a safe, familiar environment where your pets feel loved and cared for.
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Currently have 2 Coton De Tulears plus four alpacas, three bee hives, and over 125 birds (poultry). I work remote so my schedule is flexible. Prefer to be able to coordinate directly to ensure the best care for your pets. I’m very flexible. I’m a big fan of treating pets like they’re my own. I demand the highest levels of care for my animals and will certainly do the same for yours!

“I wholeheartedly recommend Emily as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has cared for my indoor and outdoor cats while I travel, always ensuring they’re well-fed, safe, and happy. I've also witnessed her gentle, attentive care for her elderly dog. Since childhood, Emily has shown a natural compassion for animals, even volunteering with me at a local animal shelter. Now home from college for the summer, she continues to show the same dedication and love for every animal she meets.”
