Pet Sitting in Houtzdale

“Megan was a great communicator and did a wonderful job taking care of our cat for multiple days while we were out of town. She even went above and beyond and watered our plants when it became unseasonably hot while we were away. Would totally recommend her!”

Catherine K.

“Liv was amazing. My boy is weird with new people and she was excellent about meeting him! She even made a point to play fetch with him and ensure he was eating while I was away. 10/10 recommend her!!! She will absolutely be my first call next time I go away!”

About: I've worked in vet med for over four years. I've owned animals my whole life and currently have four of my own critters (one dog and three kitties). I currently work part time while going to school. My schedule is a bit different every day of the week, so please let me know what you need and we can make a plan! I have a ton of experience with cats and dogs, both in my personal life and my professional life. Because I'm an experienced vet tech, I'll be able to recognize any concerning signs with your pets while you're away, and I'm trained to give medications if needed (oral, topical/ears, injectable).

“Wonderful dog sitter! Would highly recommend & use again. Julia took great care of our senior dog, gave medications, treats, time outside, & lots of love for him and our cat. She sent updates & pictures multiple times per day. It was a relief knowing my fur-baby was well cared for when we were away. And she booked with us very last minute, which we appreciated so much. Thank you again, Julia!”

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.

About: Responsible pet sitter with over 20 years experience. My husband 3 children and I run a small homestead. We have our family dog Penny and we raise holland lop bunnies. I have experience with small and large livestock. And have Volunteered time fostering dogs for PAWS in state college. I have experience with and assisting the delivery of animals, administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, and providing companionship and exercise. I’m a stay at home mom with 3 children. We do go to church on Sunday's. We would be gone Sunday's for about 3 hours in total. Unless it’s soccer season we are home! We have a fenced in front yard and our back yard leads into the woods. We spend a majority of our summer days outside. We live in a 2 story home, pets will be on the main floor in our home. Our stairs have gates for the bottom and top. Our animals are welcome on the couch but if this is a no no for you we will respect that. Our dog Penny is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night.

“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with over a decade of experience in the field. I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years and have been pet sitting for almost just as long. From XS-XXL, I am comfortable providing care to all! I am able to provide basic care services to high level care (handicapped and special needs patients) for any age range. I am also comfortable administering prescribed medications to pets, including injectable medications. I am able to make almost any schedule work, early mornings and late evenings are not a problem for me— I know having a routine can be very important! I do not plan on pet sitting at my home, but in the event that I do, I do have a fenced in yard that has a separate entrance to my home.

About: I have taken care of a variety of pets since I was 14 years old. I grew up around dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, birds of many kinds and my family bred labradors. My husband and I have had our own pets for the last 17 years. Our pets are our family and taken very well care of. Everyone who knows us, knows that we spoil every animal we see. I currently make my own work schedule and it is very flexible therefore I am available for almost all of your pet care needs! :) I am able to babysit your pet in our home if the meet & greet with our pets goes well. Otherwise I am available to care for your pets in your home. This would include, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, meals, bathing if needed and of course lots of snuggles!

About: I grew up working on a tiny farm, and assisted in kenneling dogs for my mother’s business for 7 years.

I would love kind & re-occurring clients 💜 I do have a full time job, where I work typically until 3pm daily. So I am open to late afternoons & evenings. And if I am off then -any time of day. I will come to your home where your pet/pets are comfortable. I recommend a meet and greet prior.

“Thank you so much for the last minute help!! They love your company :)”

“Very kind and caring sitter. Was able to check up on our pups at requested times. Sent us plenty of photos and checked in with us regularly. She was willing to take the time for our one pup to get to know her.(he is defensive towards new people and has to warm up to people). And she was able to book our requested days literally last moment when our boarding situation fell through. Will gladly say we will be scheduling more with her in the future.!”

“Jana does a great job and we will continue to utilize her for our pet sitting needs! She is a great communicator and her messages always make me laugh. I can’t compliment her professionalism and consistency enough.”

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.
