Cindy is excellent with dogs. She took great care of our dog muffin while we were having an outing. She did not let any anxiety ruin our outing by sending reassuring pictures of our dog. Thank you Cindy

Our dog’s first “home away from home” was amazing thanks to Joanne. She took wonderful care of our 9 month old Goldendoodle. In the photos Joanne sent our pup looked so comfortable and happy in her home. He usually has separation anxiety when I take him to the groomer (they have to drag him into the back room). I was astounded at how easily he settled into her home. When I picked him up he was so calm, not jumping up on me and whining that I’d left him! Thank you, Joanne!

Kristen was one of the best sitters my pup has had. Her and her family took such good care of Mochi. Mochi had so much fun and felt at home. Kristen sent me many pictures and updates throughout the long weekend which I loved. She was flexible with changing the pickup time too. Highly recommend!

This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!

Paola did a phenomenal job caring for our Kody. He has minor issues with separation anxiety and Paola made sure he had his medication each day at the appropriate time. She incorporated him right into her household and he fit right in and relaxed immediately. Her and her husband loved him as their own. The pictures and videos she sent made it apparent that Kody was relaxed and having a great time. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Paola and her husband Sebastián. Thanks for loving on him!

She gave me the piece of mind I needed to know that Charlee was getting the best care while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Corinne for taking such good care of Charlee.

Anthony was a great host for our pup! He was extremely flexible in terms of our drop off time, and understood that we were looking for someone to just take Lucy for a half day rather than a full over night so that we could enjoy a day at the beach. Lucy genuinely didn't want to leave, and jumped out of the car to go back up the steps to the front door - so a glowing review from our pup! We'll absolutely look to use Anthony again when we're on the island, and have already recommended him to our friends and family in the area. Thanks again for looking after our pup!

I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.

Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.

From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember — I got my first dog at six years old and have been caring for pets ever since. In college, I brought a dog into my own life, which taught me even more about responsibility, routine, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment I’m available any time during the week and weekends! I would love to drop in to make sure your dogs okay or take them on a walk if needed! I have a fenced yard that my dog happily runs around at my home! I will do everything I can to ensure the safety for your pet!

About: Growing up, I had 4 dogs and a cat, seperated between households. More recently, I've been much more cat oriented since my partner is a lover of cats. I try to stay up to date on training research, and I'm big on communication! Your pet is your family member, and I want to know how to treat them best! I'm a freelancer so my schedule is always changing! I travel a lot both locally and further so making stops and changes in my plans are normal for me! I like to know exactly how you want your pet treated so expect lots of questions so I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy while their best friend (you) is away!

About: I’ve been watching cats since I was 12. What first started as helping neighbors with feed/medicate their cats turned into a full blown love for cats. I’ve had two cats, Milo and Tiggy. Both very different Milo (pictured) was a wild cat, who needed plenty of exercise and attention. Tiggy, more resembled Garfield who loved to eat and cuddle up to you whenever you were on the couch. I understand cats needs depend on their personalities but I can assure you i can build trust and safely watch over your cat while you’re away.

We intentionally accept a limited number of dogs to provide plenty of individual attention and maintain a calm, low-stress atmosphere. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I'm also happy to bring in mail or packages, water plants, and help with other small household tasks while you're away. You'll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and enjoying their own vacation while you're away.

About: If you choose to leave your pup with me, I am a remote worker so I will be with them all day. They will have plenty of opportunities to run around on the beach with their new favorite friends. I have experience with large dogs like Huskeys, pitbulls and labs. I’m comfortable handling large dogs as long as they’re not a bite risk. I grew up with 2 golden retrievers over 20 years. I trained my family dog Finn as a puppy to catch food, shake and paw. I have experience with senior care with administering medications. I also have experience watching other friends and families dog as well, both small dogs and large dogs. I’m a full time remote worker. I have plenty of time to fit your pups walks, playtime, and feedings into my daily or weekly routine depending on what you’re looking for. You can expect me to be with your dog all day with plenty of walks and beach trips. I can also crate your dog at night if preferred.

About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine

About: I have been a dog/cat owner since I was two years old and there is no pet I do not love. I have owned German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Mixed breeds, a Papillion, a Great Dane as well as a Himalayan and an Orange Tabby cat. I am able to spend a lot of time with any age pet and treat them as if they’re my own. Being disabled I’m home a lot. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog would be free to run and play. I use a walker. My home has an elevator. Therefore, it is not a problem to let them out frequently. Just let me know what your dog loves and I will make sure they have the best time possible! I do not work. I am disabled. Therefore I’m home a whole lot, probably too much. This enables me to spend quality time with your pet. I have a fenced in backyard. I do not have any dogs or cats of my own. Therefore, I am able to devote all my time and attention to your loved one.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.

About: Professional Athlete by night…Professional Belly-Rubber by day 🤪 I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and have extensive experience caring for both active dogs and seniors with special needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I provide dependable care, lots of attention, regular updates, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play, walk, nap, or simply have a companion nearby, I’m happy to make them feel right at home. I had a family dog until 2019 and then rescued my Shiloh two months after. Shiloh had fear aggression and separation anxiety for the first year with me but i learned A LOT from that experience. Shiloh passed away June 6th, 2026 and if you knew her then you would know she went from being fearful to knowing she was safe. Shiloh was almost 11 and i had adopted her when she was 3. She was the only fur baby that was my own but i learned more from her than my family dogs! My dog walking availability is typically between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM, making me a great option for morning walks, midday potty breaks, exercise sessions, and companionship while you’re at work. I am also available for doggy daycare and overnight stays on a limited basis depending on my training and competition schedule. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and designed to provide a safe, comfortable environment for visiting dogs. I have a large yard that gives dogs plenty of space to explore, play, and burn off energy while being closely supervised. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so that each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. Dogs will always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and lots of affection. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime outdoors or prefers a quiet place to relax, I strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where they feel right at home.

About: I grew up with a boxer-mix her name was Ruby (she unfourtently passed away:( I also volunteer at the local shelter near my college where I walk all kinds of dogs all ages. I feed them, walk/ play with them, and make sure they are healthy. I attend Penn State University and volunteer at Centre County Paws. I am a full time student at Penn State University studying biology. Although I am studying a good amount, I have a pretty light schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays and anytime after 2 pm Monday Wednesdays and Fridays. I find that caring for pets is a nice break from all of the studying and stress of school and am more than willing to taking a few hours out of my day to interact with dogs or cats. At Penn State, I live in a pet friendly apartment and right next to a neighborhood where I could take dogs for walks. Back at home, I have a fenced in yard, and we took my dog, Ruby to the beach, for walks, and to the park once or twice a day! Unfortunately my fur baby passed from cancer last year so I have missed being able to take her for walks. At the shelter I volunteer at, (Centre County Paws) I take 2-3 dogs for walks and make sure that the dogs all have their meals, water, and that their bowel movements are looking good and if not I will take note of that!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for ages to feed, walk, play, cuddle, and keep their pets smiling while they’re away. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.Lots of tail wags and purrs guaranteed. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.

Kristen was one of the best sitters my pup has had. Her and her family took such good care of Mochi. Mochi had so much fun and felt at home. Kristen sent me many pictures and updates throughout the long weekend which I loved. She was flexible with changing the pickup time too. Highly recommend!

This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!

Corrine was wonderful. She sent pictures every day. She always responded to my texts when I would ask questions about how Charlee's day was. She gave me the piece of mind I needed to know that Charlee was getting the best care while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Corinne for taking such good care of Charlee.

About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.

Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.

Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.

From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.

About: There’s nothing quite like the love of a dog. That’s why I’m here to provide a safe, reliable, and relaxing home away from home for your pup! I've been around dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for my own. I grew up with two Havanese, a Bulldog, and two Shichons! I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and showering every dog with plenty of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've pet sat for friends and family, making sure their pups stayed comfortable, active, and well cared for while they were away. I know every dog has their own personality and routine. I'm happy to follow your preferences to help them feel as comfortable as possible. As a grad student, I spend much of my time studying, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to provide attentive care, regular walks, and playtime. My goal is simple - to make every dog feel safe and loved, so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m available for boarding from Friday after 2pm through Sunday. Weekends give me more flexibility for walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, and quality time with your pup. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I want every dog to feel like they’re in a safe, calm, and loving environment while they’re in my care. I live in a house in a calm, beach neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and fresh air. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, I love staying active and providing pups with plenty of outdoor time and exercise throughout their stay. Before each stay, I will make sure to learn your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. I understand every dog is different. I’m happy to follow your preferences to help your pup feel safe and at home!

Christine and family were wonderful hosts for our 5-month old pup. Yes a puppy. And they boarded her over Christmas! Imagine the chaos they willingly accepted! Not only that, the pandemic surge caused our flight to be canceled and we needed to add an additional night with one day's notice. We are sincerely grateful for the service and care provided for our pet.

Gwen's house is Deacon's new home away from home. The whole family is so sweet. Gwen made sure Deacon had his medication every day and sent updates at the perfect times. I cannot say enough great things about her!
