Sage was incredible! Traveling back across the country to see family for Thanksgiving and leaving our 3-legged Rottie for the first time was creating anxiety for us. Thanks to Sage, we were able to rest assured that Dante was taken care of and attended to. Will definitely recommend Sage to anyone! As long as it does not conflict with dates we need her for ;)

Savannah did a great job taking care of our 11 year old pointer, Meadow. She communicated well, listened and asked good questions, and provided ample love and attention to our old lady. We would highly recommend Savannah, particularly for those who have very active dogs like ours.

Ruth is amazing. We were on a trip for over two weeks. She made sure the dogs and cats were loved and well-cared for the entire time we were gone. She sent updates and pictures to let us know they were all doing well. Since it was summer, our dog and cat both shed. She vacuumed the house so the dust bunnies did not conquer our planet. She is just wonderful!

Lucy was wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for better for our first time leaving the pup home alone 🥹 I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures and felt very comfortable knowing she was there with them every day. We’re looking forward to having her watch our kiddos again in the future!!!

Anna was a fabulous pup sitter! She gave our dog (who requires a lot of attention) lots of cuddle time and affection! Anna went above and beyond to make our pup happy and to keep the house in order. I highly recommend her, and I plan to have her petsit for us again.

Lauren took fantastic care of my dog (8 y/o pit-mix) while I was on vacation for 10 days! If you're looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her! She was professional and communicative, leaving me confident my doggo was in good hands while I was away.

In December 2023 Brandon watched my baby girl Faith for one week while my husband and I were showing our home to be sold. We dropped her off on a Sunday and when we picked her up on a Thursday she didn’t want to leave! Brandon made sure she was walked daily, he called and sent pictures to reassure us that Faith was safe and in good care. I would highly recommend anyone for Brandon to watch their pets and I would definitely use him again!

Talia is an animal lover! She is always in tune to an animal’s physical and emotional well-being. She has experience with a variety of breeds, and will always be a pet-sitter who interacts with your animal, not just sit and ignore. Talia has also cared for pets in multiple animal households. I would absolutely recommend her as an animal caregiver!

I will definitely be hiring Carson again. She was fantastic with my two dogs (a 2 year old frenchie and a 9 year old goldendoodle). I can tell they get plenty of love and attention when Carson is watching them. She is super a communicative sitter, and I feel confident leaving my dogs with her. She also has a lot of experience with big dogs, so I don’t worry about her being out of her depths with my 78lb doodle. I would definitely recommend her if you need a sitter!

About: I have experience with puppies, middle aged dogs and senior dogs with health care issues. Unfortunately, I just lost one of my dogs in the fall, but I still have a younger one at home with my family! I am a senior at Penn State and I am from Virginia. I am planning on coming back for my last semester next fall to receive my Masters degree in Accounting. I am currently only taking 12 credits and my classes are all asynchronous so I have plenty of free time during the week, as well as flexibility on the weekends. I do not offer services in my home because I have a very small studio apartment. However, I do offer services in the clients home. I have prior experience staying over at a clients house, and I will make sure to prioritize cleanliness and respectfulness.
