“Laura is the absolute best! I have a rescue dog who is very skeptical of new people, and after using Laura a second time, he has really warmed up to her and trusts her which is a HUGE accomplishment. He normally does not take a treat or play fetch with new people, and he did with her! In addition to her ability to understand my dogs needs and his behavior, I appreciate that she communicates and gives updates after each check-in. It makes me feel so comfortable when traveling and not stressed. Thanks again, Laura!”

“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”

“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”

“As always, Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our dog. Our pup is very territorial, but immediately recognized and welcomed Michelle at our new home. There isn’t anyone else we would trust with our girl. Thank you again Michelle!”

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 taken care of cats since five years ago. We have our own cat, Puffy, and also take care of our friends' cats from time to time. My two boys are both cat lovers and very helpful for taking care of cats. I'm working parttime at home, so I am at home most of the time. My schedule is very flexible and should be able to fit your needs. We have a single house, which provide plenty of space for cats to explore. We will clean the litter box every day for your cats. We also have plenty of toys for your cats to play with.
About: I’ve never lived without a dog in my home in my 22 years and began pet sitting for others at age 10. Working with dogs through friends, family, and even strangers I’ve found a love for sharing my time with your furry companions. I hope to get to share with your pets many of the great outdoor spaces I’ve enjoyed for years in this area! I’m teaching in State College at the local schools. Staying local with plenty of early evenings off and weekend availability, I’m able to take on same day bookings as well as alter my afternoon and weekend schedule with some advance notice. While I cannot care for your companions in my home, I have spent years working with dog of varying size and in a multitude of different situations. I’m well equipped to handle large dogs as well as small dogs with big personalities! I have been with dogs that walk on and off leash as well as reactive dogs and understand that each one requires adjustment according to mood and location and am prepared to make them as comfortable as possible wherever we are.
“Brigette did an amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She’s very attentive and responsive; sends wonderful pix and videos through the stay. Definitely book her if you’re looking for an awesome and responsible pet sitter!”


“Ruth was excellent with our cat, Alice, when she stopped in as we were away. She sent excellent photos of Alice looking very relaxed with her! Would happily have Ruth stay with her again.”


About: Big or small, I’ve probably kissed it on the nose! My vet hospital experience gives me the ability to acknowledge changes in each species better than most. I’m a lover of horses and cows, so big dogs wouldn’t be any different for me. I’m happy to administer medications, keep up with a training schedule/routine, keep up with their energy needs by going to the dog park or walks, etc. I’m known to be a confident, compassionate, and reliable person with animals. I’m a morning person! I’m available most mornings and evenings. My class schedule doesn’t have me on campus for extended periods of time. I don’t have classes on Fridays and am looking to do this as my main income source! I will happily respect your house rules, but I could cuddle all day long with the fur balls! Growing up, I was totally guilty of letting my dog in bed and giving some human food. Now, I understand the importance of discipline and routine. I’m happy to follow your routine and give ample pet kisses along the way! I am sure to treat every pet as my own. If I notice a lump, bump, cut, etc. I’m never one to assume you already know about it. Their happiness and health is my top priority.
“Jana is now my go-to gal to watch my three guinea pigs! Her communication has been very detailed and consistent each time I have booked with her. She is extremely personable and treats my pets as her own. Her education background and experience in the medical field also made me more confident to leave her with my chronically ill pig that is on meds twice a day as well as my other pig who had surgery a few weeks ago. Her updates included monitoring my pigs eating, drinking, pooping, and moving around per usual, which is so important for pocket pets! Jana is the best and my guinea pigs love her!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old. Growing up, I had two dogs, a Boxer and a Shih Tzu, and I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding them, taking them outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their overall hygiene. Later, my family got a Cavapoo puppy, and I took an active role in his training and care. I potty trained him to go outside and taught him to communicate when he needed to use the bathroom by standing or sitting near the door. I also taught him basic commands such as sitting and giving his paw. In addition, I worked with him on leash behavior and recall to help ensure he would not run away or bark at other dogs during walks, including situations where his leash became loose. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and consistent when caring for and training dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would be comfortable providing them with the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I follow each pet’s routine, provide meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on and there is nothing too much to handle I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.
About: Growing up my family had a miniature schnauzer and we were lucky enough to have her in our lives for 18 years! I would walk her every day, administer tick and flea medicine, teach her tricks, make eating her food fun as she got older, took her to the groomer, and of course gave her lots of attention and playtime. I've also walked a handful of my friends' dogs before either just around the block or for a few miles depending on much exercise they need. I'm also familiar with drop in visits to feed dogs dinner or let them out to run around in the yard. Right now I work part time so I have some availability during the work week, as well as the weekends. I'd be happy to come walk your dog before work, let your dog out (and or walk them) around lunch time, feed your dog or cat breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as just spending time playing with your pets and making sure they are getting the attention they need when you are away. When I am in your home I will be diligent to make sure I am providing your pet the care that you have asked for. I like to know what is expected of me to make sure I provide quality care so I may ask some questions to ensure I am successful!
“We had such a great experience with Carla while we were away. This is the second time we’ve booked her. We have three cats, two who are very skittish and one who requires daily medication, and she handled all of their needs with so much care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was attentive, reliable, and gentle with them, especially given their different personalities and needs. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boalsburg
Carla was amazing! She came to meet our two dogs prior to watching them for us. We were a bit hesitant to use a service as our usual pet sitter was going to be out of town. Carla was delightful and we trusted her immediately to care for our girls. She sent us great pictures of our dogs while we were away. You can tell she is a true animal lover. Carla is very calm, professional, caring and communicated with us in a timely manner. She even picked up our mail for us, which was appreciated. We recommend her without hesitation. We will definitely have her take care of our beloved pets again.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
