“Carla was so great with my dogs, Pepper and Honey! Communication was seamless and she sent adorable photos of my pups every time she visited. I came home to some very happy and well taken care of pups!”

“Leigh did a wonderful job!! We appreciated her communication and how thorough she was with feeding and walking our dogs. We would definitely have Leigh again to take care of our fur babies!!”

“Emerson was amazing! She took such good care of our pets while we were away. She even came for extra visits to make sure they were adjusting to us being away. She went above and beyond! Our dogs and cat loved being around her. I could not recommend her more!”

About: My family has had dogs and cats my entire life so I am experienced in taking care of both, I often watch the pets of friends and family. I am a grad student so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to check on cats in the morning and at night, helping with routine related activities (e.g. feeding, changing water, etc) I have a safe and secure home with minimal clutter, since I myself have a cat I make sure to keep dangerous things out of his reach and am conscious of reducing risk in all situations. For example, my cat does not have access to bags (to reduce risk of suffocation), or medicines, or sharp objects.
“Laura took amazing care of Chrissy during a last-minute drop-in request. We really appreciated her communication and all the pictures she sent. We will definitely connect with Laura again in the future!”

About: My family has had dogs my whole life, and I have loved them just as long. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and everything in between. Size and breed is not a factor when it comes to animals I won’t work with; so long as the dog has a good attitude, I will, too. If you have any questions or special requests, don’t be shy about asking! I want this to be a good experience for you and the furry friend in your life. Please reach out, and let’s start a conversation! I have a flexible lunch hour that I love to fill with a good walk, and open weekends for more involved care! My work hours aren’t standard, so care doesn’t need to be either! I do not have an apartment suitable for caring for your animal(s) in my home, but have experience providing care in clients homes, both overnight and scheduled daily visits.

“Kelly is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our pup! Right off the bat, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our fur baby!”

“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!!”


“Margaret took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She stayed longer than she needed to to ensure the pups had enough love and care in our absence. She communicated and shared photos often”

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 always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
About: Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary! I am currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Penn State (student status subject to change). I will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I cannot provide boarding services at this time, so all my pet care services will be at or around your home. I can walk the dogs, play with them, make sure they are properly fed and watered, and take them outside regularly.
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!
About: I’ve had the joy of being the on-call sitter for a family for over 10 years, taking care of their special needs cats, feral cats, and senior dog.

I am a reliable sitter with years of experience in emergency medicine, I do not practice in the field anymore but I am someone you can trust and count on. I can easily crate your dog if provided!
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.
About: No dog is too big or small. Will walk, feed, pick up poop, play and snuggle! Your dog will be in good hands!! woof woof I am currently working full time as a teacher so I am available after school, on weekends, and everyday over the summer!! I can also be available over holiday breaks too!!! I have a yard that is not fenced in, but I walk my own dogs on leashes 3 times a day. I am available to walk or just hang out. Whatever you pet needs!
“I am so happy to have booked with Andrew for my dogs check-ins! This was my first time using Rover and upon meeting Andrew I immediately felt at ease and knew my dogs would be in good hands. I absolutely recommend Andrew for your pet care needs!”

“This was the first time Tara came to take care of my three Spaniels. She had never been in my home previously, so to my canines, she was a stranger. It seemed not to matter. Certainly they understand if someone stops by we are going get fed ! ! Tara came by twice in one day. All went well and she sent me pictures and updates during both of her visits. I look forward to having Tara as a dog sitter in the future.”
