“Tara is a very responsible, polite individual. She came exactly on time, gave us information about our dog's walk, and sent us a picture in a timely manner. It is obvious that she is comfortable and familiar with dogs. I would hire her again.”

“Michele is the BEST dog walker! I can’t imagine anyone better. Reliable every day - both morning and evening, dependable in all kinds of weather, kind but also firm with Philly our dog, and communicates well with me - by phone, in person, thru email and text. She’s also skilled in animal behavior and has made smart suggestions to help us train and support Philly during a more challenging time for him and our family. Thank you, Michele!”

About: I was raised to care for dogs and cats — our parents gave us a multitude of animals: dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, etc. When I turned twenty I adopted a golden retriever, and have had many cats, a Saint Bernard and two Pembroke Welsh corgis since. I learned to feed, water, walk, and clean cages and pet areas — loving animals came naturally! I focus on your fur baby’s needs, wants and safety each visit. I’m a PSU grad who’s lived, worked and raised children in Centre County. I drive to your home to walk your pet or provide drop-in care at your home. Feeding, a walk or potty break, playing and gentle massage are included in my rates. Additional services such as oral medication, training support, bathing, brushing and home needs must be negotiated separately.

About: I’ve spent my childhood and teenage years living with and loving two big energetic dogs. I’ve loved every second of time they’ve spent with my family! I’ve learned the in’s and out’s of grooming, cleaning, walking, and making them as happy as can be. I have evening responsibilities from 4-8, but my days are otherwise unoccupied! Every so often I will have busy mornings and afternoons, but nothing scheduled. I will be entirely focused on your pets, making sure they are getting the attention and care they need while within my responsibility. I will make sure they are happy and safe!

About: I've had at least one Labrador Retriever as a family member for most of my life. When I'm walking in the neighborhood, I'll cross the street to say hello to any dog I see. I am retired, but I paint watercolor portraits of special animals by commission out of my home studio. I'm mostly retired now, and I no longer have a dog as a family member, so I'm avaiable most days for pet care when I am in town. I'm mostly interested in dog walking and dog day care. I am not able to do drop-in or day care at night, and I cannot accommodate dogs a my home overnight.

“Jessica was great. She was communicative and responsible! I will definitely be asking her to walk my pups again!”

About: As a pet sitter, I have a diverse set of skills essential for providing excellent care to a variety of animals. I grew up on a farm so I do not shy away from a challenge. I have basic first aid knowledge, excellent attention to detail, and am reliable and punctual! This is my full time gig. If my schedule is open, I am available for you and your pets. Have a unique schedule need? Just shoot me a message and we can discuss! I will care for your pets in your home. I do have a fenced yard, so if you have a pup that likes to go for a car ride, they are welcome to come for a quick visit!

About: I’m a huge animal lover and have been around pets my entire life. I started helping care for them around age five, and since then, I’ve looked after all kinds—cats, dogs, and even small animals. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler touch. Since I was 13, I’ve been the go-to sitter for family and friends whenever they go away, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I work part-time as a lifeguard, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time between shifts to care for your pet. Whether it’s stopping by for a check-in, going for a walk, or spending quality time with them, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Your pet’s needs will always be a top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and comfort my top priorities. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, follow any specific instructions you leave, and make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and ensure your pet has everything they need. Whether that’s fresh food and water, playtime, medication, or just some love and attention. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with care and respect.

About: My family had an animal centered business where I learned to take care of and meet animal needs. I have been around and taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, mice and the list goes on. I also own an 8 month old kitten and I take care of my roommates cat as well. They’re like my children. I am currently a college student home for the summer working a part time job with open availability during the week and most weekends. I would love to help you out with your pet! I have learned to always be vigilant with an animal, anything can become a hazard and put their life in danger from swallowing something hazardous to even bigger complications

“Anakin loves his walks with Sarah! She is very reliable and responsive.”

About: Pets are our family members and I will dote on your pet as if it were your child, because they are! I have grown up with all kinds of pets, but primarily dogs and cats of all sizes - from a chihuahua to a lab-pit mix. I was a foster home for 6 months for two dogs from PAWS, which both were adopted and have dog sit for friends and roommates for weeks at a time! As a sitter, I will abide by what rules you set for your pet's care and ensure I maximize your comfort while you are away on vacation or work. Sending photos and text updates is a given. I am studying to my own schedule this summer - therefore I have generally flexible hours everyday to walk your pet. I am early riser and enjoy morning walks, as well as walking for a study break. I have walking trails all around where I live, which are perfect for long walks and I have green space around my home for quick potty breaks. As to drop-ins at client's homes, I will abide by your pets routine and what makes you comfortable. Although dog parks are wonderful for socialization, I will never take your dog to a dog park. And on any and all walks your pet will secured and leashed!
