1. Mariah P.
“We had an excellent experience with Mariah. This was my first time leaving my cats in the hands of a pet sitter so I was a bit nervous. During the week, Mariah sent updates of how the cats were doing as well as photos of each kitty. I couldn’t be happier”
2. Megan C.
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was away. She kept me up to date and provided pictures! I definitely recommend Megan and will use her again.”
3. Daiannie V.
“She is great! Prompt and communicative. Petey loves her!”
4. Emily C.
“Emily did a great job. My dog was so happy to have someone come to her home rather than having to go to a loud kennel with other dogs she doesn’t know. We would definitely recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for care for their fur-baby.”
5. Kassidy D.
“Kassidy took good care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. I loved all the pictures she sent and I was so happy our cats actually came out for her, since they are usually scared of strangers. I would absolutely book her again when we go out of town next time.”

8. Maureen R.
“Maureen is an angel! She has come to our home over the last few months and watched our three German Shepherd pups. When I mean pups, I mean our oldest is two. There is a ton of puppy energy and lots of attention involved. Maureen absolutely loves our dogs. While we were away should would spend time with them during the day and slept over with them at night. She had no problems feeding them different foods and giving medication. She also made it a point to text us pictures while we were gone so we didn’t miss them too much. We highly recommended Maureen to take care of your four legged babies. She’s amazing!”

10. Rylee B.
“Rylee was very pleasant and quite "animal" knowledgeable. I had no qualms about leaving Grayson with her, but I hated leaving him! This was the first time I left him. I'd have Rylee back everytime! Please tip Rylee $20. And a huge thank you!”
11. Amanda K.
“Amanda always does a fantastic job with our cat. When we get home, we can always tell our cat has been played with and loved (the pictures/rover cards say that, too)”

13. Lexie M.
About: Hi there! My name is Lexie, i am 24 years old and I am well experienced with dogs specifically because I used to be a dog groomer! Pets in general have always been a loving passion of mine and i love making them pretty, safe, and loved. I specifically love petsitting, making sure they’re cared for and safe all while having fun with them. I myself own two bulldogs as well as a bearded dragon, therefore im familar and experienced with all different types of animals. No scales or different types of pets would scare me. While i am a server at a local restaurant, i still have plently of availability to tend to your pet! With having Sundays and Mondays off, and only working in the evenings on most other nights makes it really easy to be around the majority of the time sith your beloved pet. Fridays & Saturdays my hours range from 11-7 at my restaurant job. I intend on coming to you and your home for your pet so they are in a familar space and hopefully will leave less anxious feelings. My goal is for us to always be safe and comfortable while still having a blast. Daily walks and one on one time with the pets are extremely important to me as I never want a pet to feel anxious or scared while you’re away. I also keep a written planner with up to date information of everything i need to know about the animals as well as scheduled feedings, medicines, appointments, etc.
14. Madison C.
“Madison was amazing with all our animals. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and everything was taken care of. She even went out of her way to get us a piece of equipment that broke.”
15. Madalynn T.
“Madalynn did a great job taking care of my 2 cats while we were away. I even had a sick cat and he was very well taken care of. I got pictures daily.”
16. Ginger B.
“Ginger was great! Not only was she flexible and reliable, she really gave our kitties so much love while we were away! You're in really good hands with Ginger”
17. Tanner Z.
“Tanner came to my house a few months ago while I was on vacation, all I asked was that he feed my dogs and fill their water bowls, he exceeded my expectations, with taking them on walks, taking them to the park to play, and making sure that the yard was picked up after they did their business. I was so impressed by his effort and his willingness to do more than asked. I would recommend Tanner to anyone seeking a dog sitter. ”
18. Hannah P.
“Great pet sitter and great person in general. My family left instructions for her to follow and she had no problem doing what we asked. She was able to stay and play with the dogs as well as our cat. She frequently took them on walks when she visited. Our pets love her and I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
19. Sydney K.
About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!
20. Delaney I.
“Delaney is an excellent and devoted pet caregiver. We have shared an apartment for the past year, allowing me to see first hand experience to how well she cares for her pets. She always meets their needs and gives them exceptional treatment.”
