“Heather is absolutely wonderful! From our initial meet and greet, I instantly felt comfortable leaving Milo with her. I trust very few people to watch him and I didn’t have a single worry while we were on vacation. She provided multiple updates and pictures daily and I knew he was well taken care of just like he would be at home. Thank you again for taking such great care of our boy!!”

“Amanda took very good care of my Kirby dog. She provided me with updates and photos of my dog enjoying her dogs. She's is a gentle spirit with animals. I would recommend her and will certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Amanda!”

“Mar is great to Molly. Even when a family emergency came up and I had to extend the visit unexpectedly, Mar was super helpful and accommodating. Molly gets excited when we pull up to the house, so I know she is in good hands and has a great time when she's there.”

“We have been very happy leaving our Fur babies with Mike and Melanie. they send pictures and keep us updated all the time definitely recommend them!!! Take them on hikes and give them lots of attention. Thank you for taking care of our babies!! Debra M.”

“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”

“Wade was a wonderful caretaker and companion for Louie! His love of hiking and personality perfectly matched Louie and he understood the needs of our active boy. Wade was super responsive and communicated sending several updates and photos during Louie’s stay. We’re so lucky to have found him!”

“Jamie was wonderful with The Diva! Jaime sent photos every day while we were away and updated us on how Hadassah was adjusting. I would highly recommend her to care for your sweet ones. Bobbi Jo”

“Ashauna was wonderful with our dog. She sent pictures periodically throughout our Princess’s stay so I could see how much fun they were having. We will definitely request Ashauna if she is available the next time we need overnight boarding.”


About: I say I have 10 years of pet care experience just based off of having my own dog and dog sitting other dogs. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past as well. I also had rescued a pitbull boxer who we had recently had to put down. I also have a 10 month old lab puppy, and 2 cats! I would love to have her to have someone to play with at home every once in a while. I will only be working possibly 15 to 20 hours a week at my other job. Possibly less if I have more clients with pets to watch. So I’m gonna try to keep my hours per day that I work to five hours so then I can try to be at home with the dogs a lot more. I would like to try to be outside playing or going on walks. Also cleaning up after the dog outside and or if they have an accident in the house.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. We currently have a goldendoodle named Charlie who is our whole world. I love all animals and promise to go above and beyond to meet their needs. I work part time two days a week. I am home full time the other five days of the week. I may or may not accept bookings on the days that I work depending on the needs you are looking for. We currently have a goldendoodle named Charlie! We do have a toddler present in the home with a baby on the way as well. Asking that all dogs you are seeking care for are good with other dogs and small children.
About: I'm a loving dog mom of 3 rescue pups: Hunter 14 yrs old, Huey and Harry both 2 yrs old with 40 years of experience. I'm a full time remote employee allowing me to be available to tend to my dogs and Rover guests as needed 24/7. Belly rub breaks are part of my work-life balance. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate my pups or yours if needed.
“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”

“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up. Anywhere from small, medium, to large dogs. I’ve had mini dachshunds, Dalmatians, St. Bernards, and German Shepherds. Currently right now I have a 3 Golden Retrievers named Willie, Waylon, and Hank. I also have a cat named Cash! I current work full time Monday-Thursday. I can be available later evenings if needed, we would just have to work things out in advance. I am generally free Friday-Sunday for any needs as well but also with notice.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alum Bank
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and have looked after countless pets for family and friends over the years. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy caring for them while their owners are on vacation, at work, or simply need an extra hand. I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My home office is set up in a spare bedroom where your pup can relax with me while I work. I also have flexibility to provide walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I'm very affectionate with animals and will care for your dog as if they were my own. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through playtime, enrichment puzzles, treats (with your approval), and lots of one-on-one attention. My lunch break is dedicated to spending quality time with them so they get plenty of interaction throughout the day. For overnight stays, your dog will have a comfortable space of their own in our living room. You're welcome to bring their crate, favorite blanket, or bed if that helps them feel more at home. I also have both a small and a large dog bed available to accommodate different sizes. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family, though they will sleep in their own designated area rather than in my bed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I typically schedule walks in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening, with plenty of attention and cuddle time in between. My flexible work schedule also allows me to accommodate boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks. Whether your pet needs an active day of play or a quiet place to relax while you're away, I'm able to provide consistent care and supervision to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I supervise pets throughout the day since I work from home, ensuring they always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with comfortable spaces for dogs to relax and unwind. I closely monitor interactions, keep doors and gates secure, and only provide treats or activities that have been approved by the owner. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine, keep your home tidy, and provide updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of fur babies for well over a decade. I used to be a full time dog walker/house sitter until I went into healthcare. Whether your pet has many needs or just likes to chill out, I’m more than happy to help. As a pet owner myself, I know that animals are not just pets... they’re a part of the family and I treat them so. Please do not hesitate to ask about my experience or any other questions you may have. I have a full time job in healthcare and am usually off Friday to Sunday while the other days vary a little bit. I update my availability regularly. I have two dogs who are friendly and love to play. They interact with big and small dogs well. As far dog walking and visits, I treat your place like my own. I’ll tidy up after myself and let you know how my visit went :)
About: Who can love your little ones as you do? I was licensed for child daycare in Colorado for over 10 years. We are animal lovers and guardians of two little dogs. Adults who love and understand the needs of little fur babies. We would love to get to know your special one too. Please make sure you add all of the info for the vet you use. All dogs will need to be current on vaccines and flea and tick care. Please keep in mind when you pay for one day it covers you for 24 hrs. So if you bring your baby at 6 a.m. you will be covered till 6 a.m. the following day. Any hours after that is $6.00 an hour. If you book for more than a weekend, I can be flexible (1 to 2 hrs) due to flight delays, etc. Thank you! I'm currently not working outside home so no matter what your little ones will have someone here at all times. I feed everyone seperately and we walk when weather permits. We have potty pads available for comfort in between outings. I allow access to my whole home and will enjoy a walk once a day or more weather permitting. We have a great time individually and daily with all our little ones.
“Michelle was so flexible with us. We had a tight schedule which led to delays - both during drop-off and pick-up. She was very understanding and accommodating! She also treated our little doggo well but keeping him in his comfort zone (away from other dogs).”


“Kayla was very friendly and helpful in setting up some time for Jax to stay with her and Jax seemed to have a good time at her home. He even got to meet a cat for the first time. I plan on scheduling more daycare visits as well as other services with Kayla.”

“Deanna was great! She was able to take Mishka within 2 days notice and met with us first to make sure Mishka felt comfortable in her home! If we visit PA again with family we will use her and I will let any friends in my hometown know how great she was!”
“Rocky had a great time with Mariah! Rocky was cared for like he was in his own home! Mariah is great to have when we are unable to be at home with Rocky! Thank you for all of your help and care!”


About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”

About: I have had all different animals all my life. I grew up working on a family farm, so I have experience with all different animal species. We currently live in Berlin with our 4 children, Great Dane Bella, and a mixture of farm animals. I attended PSU studying animal science, minoring in equine science. I am excited to meet your furry family members! I currently am a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible! I am available for visits, drop ins, walks, day sitting in my home, and overnight boarding. I have a fenced in yard connected to my house, with locks on the gates. I also have an outdoor dog kennel and dog house if you have a dog that stays outdoors. In the home we have an older Great Dane, but she likes to keep to herself and is a certified couch potato. We have several gates up in our house to keep pets safely separated. I welcome dog crates if you have them, or I do have a few I could use here if that is easier. We have a large property where we can take walks, or we even live close to a bike trail we can walk at. I have done drop in visits for puppies and dogs in the past, and have had great feedback. I can stay for a length of time and let your pets get some exercise and play. I am open to tending farm animals as well while you’re away.
