“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”
“Haley is so kind and wonderful to my “old girl”, Cashmere. Taking care of Cashmere is no easy task considering her health conditions but Haley treats her with just as much love as anyone could ask.”
“This was Wall-E's second visit with Rillan, an extended stay of 12 nights. It was very nice to get updates and pictures while I was traveling, and to see that Wall-E was getting along with other guests. He is comfortable staying with Rillan, and will have more opportunities to visit in the future.”
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”
“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”
“Fantastic, will absolutely use them again. Our dog was so comfortable and calm when we picked her up.”
“My Bentley was treated like he was family when staying with Derya!! I had absolutely no worries about his special diet & I received plenty photos demonstrating just how happy he was and well cared for. If you need to leave your pup for any amount of time/reason, please choose Derya, you'll be more than pleased!”
“5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”
About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.
“She was wonderful with Mickey and kept me updated on his condition throughout the stay. I would definitely book with her again if I ever need to be away from home!”
“I highly recommend Bex!! She was so great with my dog Nora. She was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated during my dogs stay. Nora had a blast and I brought home a nice and tired pup.”
About: I've walked, fed, and dog sat dogs for neighbors and recently siblings. I also currently have a 5 month old puppy who I've taken care of and trained myself since she was 8 weeks old. I'm currently a full time student at Penn State but my classes tend to be spread out so lots of time to give dogs love. I'm available to board dogs Friday-Sunday and dog sit weekdays (excluding tuesdays) anytime after 4. I have a very playful 5 month old puppy who loves to play with new friends. She gets daily walks and gets taken out every 2-4 hours to get energy out and to go potty so you're fur baby will be in great hands. My fur baby is crate trained at night and transitioning to graduating the crate so either option is okay for boarding here.
“Angie was amazing! We left our Sadie with her for 2 nights for our wedding weekend in State College and she was fantastic. She was careful to understand all of Sadie’s likes and dislikes and really cared about Sadie having a comfortable stay. She sent the most photos and updates of any Rover sitter we’ve used so far which was so nice! She gave Sadie extra attention when Sadie was scared during a thunderstorm and took her for lots of walks. I would absolutely book Angie again and would recommend her to anyone in the State College area.!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Mikaila and Billy are so wonderful! AB has so much fun with them and seems really comfortable. She really enjoys her stays and I feel very comfortable leaving her with them.”
About: I’ve grown up around big dogs my whole life—my family had a Pit bull, English bulldog, a Cane Corso, and two labs—so I’m super comfortable with large breeds and understand how to care for their specific needs. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and on my own since I was 16. Over the years, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and just making sure their pets feel safe and loved. Whether your dog is playful or shy, I’m confident I can provide a calm, positive environment for them while you’re away. I currently am a student, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup. I’m never gone or out of the house for more like 2-2.5 hours and I am extremely active so time for play, walks, hikes and down time throughout the day will be made. Your dog’s routine and comfort will always be my priority! Pets in my care will be treated like family. Dogs are like our own children at the end of the day! I keep a clean, pet-safe space, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s crate training, special diets, or medication, I’ve got it covered with care and attention to detail!
“Lauren was wonderful! She took great care of our Golden Retriever, Stevie, while we attended a PSU game. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again!”
About: Hi I’m Kristin, and I’d love to be your next choice for animal care! I’ve owned a dog my entire life and have several years of experience pet sitting in high school and college. I’m available most days, and have my own car. I’m definitely a dog person, but I’ve cared for many species, including turtles, cats, lizards, and birds. I love animals and would treat your animals with all the love that you do! I truly believe that pets more suitably can be called family members, and should be treated as such! I’m very accommodating and will do whatever you need to ensure your pet receives the best care! Whatever you need for peace of mind, I’m happy to provide! I’m a positive person and would provide warm, loving care to your (fur)baby! **NOTE: there is a surcharge that will apply for any drop-in visits, dogsitting, or dog walks that occur on Penn State football game days** I am currently a law student at Penn State, and my schedule has huge breaks in the middle of the day, and so I can provide your four-legged pal with frequent walks, snuggles, and care! I am very active and fit, and can provide your fur baby with any amount of exercise and care that they may need! I live in the Toftrees area, and therefore am centrally located in the State College area and am easily able to commute to wherever I might need!
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! She was so communicative, sending multiple photos and updates throughout the day and made us feel so comfortable with our decision to leave our pup with her! 100% recommend booking with Lydia, and we definitely will again!”
