“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”
“Emily did a great job with our very active puppy. She stayed in touch with us and kept us very informed during her stay. We had outside construction that made a dirty mess of our yard and she had to deal with the mess and keeping the dog out of the mess. I am sure it wasn’t easy or fun. She adjusted and didn’t complain. Our house looked great and our puppy was well taken care of.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.
“Olivia communicated very well during the week for watched my dachshund! She was very caring and got to know and learn all about my dog whom I should add is a special needs dog. She was prominent about caring for her the best she was able by learning how to relieve her bladder and when there was accidents she even washed and dried blankets when that wasn't asked. Definitely went above and beyond to care for my dog and I would 100% re book with her to watch her again!”
“Excellent sitter! I was extremely satisfied and felt confident that my pets were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Sam again when I need someone to look after my fur kids!”
“Sarah was a great sitter. She's very conscientious, being sure to let me know my hound had peed inside and then repeated this behavior. I appreciated her staying in contact trying to figure out what was best for him. The cats took to her which was no surprise. She is a pleasant and friendly person. I would ask her to sit again.”
About: I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I volunteer at animal shelters every week and I started my own dog walking business when I was ten years old. I have a lot of experience with animals and I really enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I regularly donate to various shelters by holding bake sales yearly. I try to get involved in any way I can to help. I just graduated with my masters degree and plan to continue my academic career in veterinary medicine in the future. I love what I do and will take great care of your pet! I currently do not have a job so my schedule is open! I am available any hour of the day. Please contact me for more information. I prefer to go to the clients home. Please contact me for more information and I will be happy to answer any questions you have!
“Sarah is one of the best sitters I’ve ever found. So grateful to her! I came home to a very happy pup, and a clean home. She sent lots of pics and updates. I hope to book with her again.”
About: In addition to growing up with dogs, cats, horses, sheep and goats, I worked at Ben-Jee Kennels for two summers. My duties there included dog walking, feeding, administering medications, and facilities cleaning. I have also pet sat for many friends and am comfortable with animals of all sizes. My job allows me to work from home full time, with occasional travel within surrounding counties. This gives me the flexibility to house sit and dog walk during standard business hours. I do not have a fenced in yard at my property, so I will not be petsitting animals in my own home. I am more than willing to house sit or drop by to walk &feed animals.
“Phoebe sat our 11 yo husky in our home for the weekend. She did an outstanding job caring for her and our house. When we need a sitter in the future, Phoebe will be our first call.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.
About: I have had over 20 cats in my 20 years of living & 4 dogs growing up with lots of pets became a lifestyle for me. now with working at pet lodge its even more of a everyday habit to treat the animals just like humans usually available every Monday and Friday due to working at the pet lodge frequently time is limited but if offer is negotiable I can open my schedule during work & at home I am giving dogs either meds food consistently or the most valuable helpful care they need to enjoy a better well being
“Megan took excellent care of all our pets. She sent us photos of walks with our dog and play time with our cats. I really appreciate the extra care she put in to cleaning up after our cats too; as we all know how messy cats can be with their litter boxes! I will definitely call on Megan again the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Overall I’m very grateful for Morgan. I previously had arrangements made but they canceled once I was out of state. I explained the situation to Morgan and she agreed to my last minute arrangements. Very communicative, respectful and understanding! I was a bit nervous about first time booking with Rover but Morgan made the whole process for me and Ozzy AMAZING! She ensured Ozzy’s schedule stayed the same so he wouldn’t feel the difference of me being gone. We will be booking more services with Morgan in the near future! Thank you once again Morgan!”
“Whitney stayed with our Great Dane for a second time and was amazing! We got a video each day along with photos. She also took care of my kid’s reptiles. She is super responsive and kind. I’ll continue to use her when we go away! The best :)”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My family has almost always had 2 dogs. I’ve had two puppies so far that i’ve trained and raised from about 8-10 weeks. I am currently in college at the moment in State College but I live at home in Petersburg. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday and my last class of the day ends at 12:15 or 2:05 every day. I have most evenings open from then on. I do have a part time job that I usually work 4-5 days a week . I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in the country so I don’t have many neighbors or roads to worry about. My puppy stays in a kennel during the day as he still likes to chew and my older dog does not go in a crate. They both have plenty of toys to play with and a big yard to run around in.
“Taylor was fantastic and kept us updated with all the happenings while she watched our animals. She went above and beyond when she recognized a potential emergency situation of our dog showing signs of bloat. She had already contacted our vet and emergency contact before she was able to get a hold of us. She took extra time out of her day to take our dog to the vet on a holiday (Thanksgiving) to make sure he was okay. We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her expertise to anyone.”

Jenia B.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter! Jenia went above and beyond while caring for our entire crew—an energetic dogs, and even our backyard flock of chickens. From the start, she was communicative, responsible, and incredibly kind with all our animals. Our dogs were clearly well-exercised and, and our chickens were healthy, secure, and even gave us more eggs than usual—must be Jenia’s calming presence! We got regular updates, photos, and check-ins that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was clear that our pets got lots of love and attention while we were gone. If you’re lucky enough to book Jenia, do it! We will absolutely be reaching out again for future trips. Highly, highly recommend!”
