Pet Sitting in State College, PA
Boarding facilities are stressful for a lot of dogs. A stranger's house isn't much better. Your pet does best in their own space, on their own schedule, and that's exactly where we come to them.
Wayfare's pet sitting keeps your dog or cat at home while you're away, with someone they already know coming through the door. No crates they've never slept in. No unfamiliar smells. Just their bed, their routine, and a familiar face. Available Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm.

Your Pet Stays Home
The biggest difference between Wayfare and a boarding facility is simple: your pet never has to leave. No transport, no kennel, no adjusting to a strange environment on top of already missing you. They sleep in their own bed, eat from their own bowl, and follow the same routine they always do. For anxious pets especially, that matters a lot.
Before the First Stay
Every new client starts with a meet-and-greet before any overnight or sitting visit. It's 45 minutes at your home, and it covers your pet's full routine, feeding schedule, medications, what they're allowed on, what to do if something seems off, and where everything is kept.
It also gives your pet a chance to meet us before we're the ones locking up at night. That first meeting makes every visit after it easier for everyone.
Who's Staying in Your Home
Jordan Harper, born and raised in State College. When you book overnight sitting with Wayfare, you know exactly who is in your home. This isn't a platform matching you with whoever's nearby, it's one person your pet has already met, who knows their routine, and who takes the responsibility seriously.
Certifications include Pet First Aid and CPR, Red Cross First Aid for Pets, Pet Sitters International (PSI), and Animal Behaviour training. Senior pets, post-surgery dogs, and pets with medical needs are all handled with care.
Part of Something Bigger
Every Wayfare booking sends a portion directly to Centre County PAWS. It's a permanent part of how the business runs. When you book a stay, you're taking care of your pet and helping shelter animals at the same time.
