“Virginia is very reliable, caring, and compassionate. Even showed up for my fir baby in a huge thunderstorm. We would use her services in the future for any of our pet needs.”

About: I grew up in a home that was always full of animals...both big and small. My mother has been a dog person since before I was born, so from an early age, I was attending obedience and agility classes with her, and even participating in a few competitions. By my early teens, I had become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors, regularly caring for their dogs. For five years, prior to 2020, my teenage daughter and I volunteered at an all-volunteer, no-kill animal rescue, where we served as dog walkers and cat caretakers. That experience gave me hands-on skills with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Until recently, I lived with two dogs of my own (my ex-partner’s pups), and I still frequently care for my mom’s two dogs when she is away helping my sister with her young children. In addition to dogs, I have years of experience fostering and caring for cats, so multi-pet households are second nature to me. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality while providing them with the care, comfort, and consistency they deserve. My tabby cat, Lavender, and moved to Bellefonte in the spring of 2025, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am a part-time school teacher and am available most weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as most weekends. This availability may change based on school activities, but I will be sure to communicate with you as soon as I know! I strive to carefully read and review, then mindfully follow all care instructions left, so that your pets are stimulated, safe, happy and healthy! I am also diligent about communicating with you so you know how things are going!

“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our cat Scout! This was the first time we left him with a pet sitter and Kelly was perfect! She sent us photos and text updates at each visit and we felt at peace knowing our furry family member was safe during our weekend away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be hiring her the next time we go out of town.”

“Samantha did a great job. My kitties seemed more content and less stressed when I came home from trip. My house also wasn't a mess like it has been with other sitters.”

“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”

“Crystal was so sweet and kind! She sent many photos and videos of our cat and even offered to go above and beyond our expectations. Overall, she was a great sitter and this was honestly the best experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Highly recommend!!!”

About: My family and I grew up on a farm and I helped watch and agility train my grandmas 6 Welch springer show dogs. At home I have 4 dogs (2 huskies, a German Shepard, and Weimaraner), and 3 kitties ( all rescues and different levels of shyness), so I have experience with lots of types of animals. I also used to care for a snake and bearded dragon! I am currently a full time student but my classes are very spread out, so the longest I am gone for a time is usually 2-3 hours. Our huskies and Weimaraner require lots of attention and play time, so we either go on 2-3 walks a day or one really long run/walk in the morning, but I am flexible to fit your schedule! I also love playing with my cats and making sure they are stimulated every day, (playing different games, switching toys around, building little forts, etc). I also love the company and cuddling up with whoever wants to!

About: I was a professional pet sitter for 2 years and specifically I specialized in senior pet care for both cats and dogs. I grew up with dogs and worked with training both puppies and adult dogs. Additionally I have experience with petsitting for birds, reptiles, and small animals as well.

I have a yard where weekend boarded dogs can get plenty of exercise and play time, additionally I can guarantee that the pets I care for get a lot of personalized attention and love.

I've worked with a trainer for my own dog for reactivity, and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs.

About: I have taken care of animals for nearly 10 years and have experience with all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I am a pet owner myself, so I know how important it is to feel that your loved one is in good hands. I am always sure to follow directions closely, and do everything I can to ensure the animals have a safe and enjoyable experience. I'm currently a graduate student and have a pretty flexible schedule. For the summer, I am generally available any morning and evening during the weekday + any time on the weekend. I follow the care instructions, take note of the living area, monitor the animal for any signs of stress or illness, and provide them the attention they need, whether that be playing, petting, or spending quiet time with them.

“Tracy seemed genuinely interested in the well being and activity needs of my pup. She was prompt and took good care of her. I plan to continue to using her services when she’s available.”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve taken care of 4 cats, 2 dogs, three guinea pigs & a ball python. I am comfortable with any species and breed! I’ve held great responsibility to walk, feed, groom and play with my own & others fur babies. I’m up for any task.. big or small. I’ll be there for your pets needs. Currently I hold a full-time job as a support manager. I don’t have a consistent schedule, but I’ve been able to walk/feed pets before and after work. I mostly do mornings and mid shifts. With that being said, I can make it work. Let’s talk! I've never cared for someone elses pet in my own house. I prefer to stay at a clients home, so the animal(s) is comfortable and the necessities needed to perform my duties for said pet are easily accessible.

“Maggie was great with our dog. Very reliable and great to work with!”

About: As a child, my family had a Maltese since he was a puppy and he lived until the age of 15 years old. His life expectancy was around 7 years old, so he was a senior dog. I learned how to take care of my dog at a young age and was responsible for taking care of him. Now, my parents and I have a puppy named Shylo Esch. He is a mix of Bernese mountain dog and mini poodle. I have attended puppy class with him at Manners N' More in Bellefonte, PA. I also frequently walk my family friend's dog who is a Labrador retriever. I grew up around dogs and learning to and caring for them, I have a deep love for taking care of dogs. I have a part time job that I usually work 5-7 hour shifts at, with varying hours between 15-30 hours per week. I am currently taking a break from college classes, I used to attend PSU. I have various appointments scheduled in advance throughout the week. I make plans with friends and family whenever I have time to see them. My baby dog, Shylo Esch, has been spoiled by my parents with many toys and treats. He is treat motivated from puppy training class he attended & graduated from. We leash him for outdoor walks. However his best friends, Lola & Mocha, and sister, Maisie, are the only dogs so far we let play time off leash in our yard together. I am very caring for dogs and I hold myself to a very strong work ethic and compassionate stance when dealing with fur babies and elderly dogs. In my clients home, I follow their rules and duties. I prefer to set up a meet n' greet with the dog and owner before committing. I like to meet the dog and see if we are a good fit by playing with the dog or taking them on a walk with the owner around their usual route. I ask various questions about how the owner takes care of the dog, so I can best follow their lead. I ask about daily routine activities, food schedule, treat frequency, walking time, habits, likes, dislikes, etc. I prefer to follow the daily routine and activities that the dog is used to in order to keep them on track while their owner is away.
