“Lexi was exceptional. Kept us updated, sent pics and played with our Great Pyrenees. She was very kind and personable. On our initial meet and greet she she’d a lot of questions so she could be well prepared. She was a delight to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”
“We have 2 active high maintenance dogs and when my wife and I went away for a couple of nights Maya stepped in and handled their care perfectly. She sent lots of pics and the dogs looked very happy. The house was also spotless!! I highly recommend Maya if you need to trust someone with your animals. I would definitely hire her again”
“Emily is the Best! She took amazing care of my dog and kept us up to date each day of our vacation. I’d highly recommend Emily and will trust her with my dog whenever we go away.”
“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!”
“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.”
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
“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 a dog for 18 years that recently passed away in the summer of 2020. I have been watching cats and dogs of family/friends for about 13 years. I have experience with lots of potty breaks with senior dogs and energetic puppies. I also have provided insulin shots, inhaler treatments, and medication to dogs when they need it daily. I’m currently working a 40 hour work week. My work days are 10 hours a day. Usually if clients need me for a week I need to know in advance to talk to my other work place about reducing hours that certain week. Having Fridays and weekends off. I can always do three day weekends with your animal. I will take your pet on walks around the neighborhood. I live in the small town of Hollidaysburg, or I could come to your house to make your animal feel more comfortable in their own home. I will play fetch with your dog or even take them on car rides at your consent.
“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!”
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.”
“Nate did an excellent job watching our 1yr old GSD Pita for the weekend. Pita got care and attention, and tons of time outside with Lando. When we arrived back to pick her up, she was excited to see us but clearly had a great weekend while we were away.”
About: Hello, my name is Brielle! I’ve had pets all my life I can take care of cats or dogs or both! Any age pet welcome! I work in state college from 5AM-1:30PM.

About: There wasn’t a time a golden retriever wasn’t apart of my family. Through a lifetime of love I’ve learned the secret language of our canine/feline companions. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs in their most vulnerable moments, I’ve dealt with the chaos of training two energetic puppies at once, and everything in between. My pet care experienced does not stop at dogs and cats, I have personal experience with rodents, rabbits, fish, bearded dragons you name it. I work part time so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of flexibility to best accommodate any clients needs. I am available all day Monday and Tuesday, and after 2 pm Wednesday-Sunday I believe that animals deserve the same respect and care as humans, if not more. With my services, you can expect meticulous attention to your pet’s needs, including preparing and serving meals according to their specific dietary requirements and schedules. To keep your pet stimulated and happy, I will engage them in physical activities and playtime tailored to their individual energy levels. Additionally I can perform light household tasks related to pet care, such as cleaning litter boxes and maintaining feeding areas. Basic grooming, including brushing and bathing as needed, is also part of my commitment to ensuring your pet’s well-being.

I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
