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. I’m available in the evenings from 2-7. I’m pretty flexible on what I can help out with and I can have a set schedule. I talk to the pet owner. They give me a plan to follow and they tell me what is needed. I meet the pet and follow the list

“Abigail was wonderful for Brizo and Zeus. She is very responible and considerate in other peoples home. Abigail emailed me photos daily of the dogs. I would definitely use and recommennd her again.”


“OUTSTANDING! Nicole exceeded our expectations! This was our first time using Rover. We were struggling to find someone to watch our 3 dogs. We contacted Nicole and she responded immediately. She was professional, punctual, and was interested in our pets' needs. We felt comfortable leaving our dogs (and our home) in her care. She communicated daily and sent adorable pictures of our dogs having fun. Two of our dogs are seniors and are picky eaters. She recorded when they ate and when one took his daily allergy medication. Nicole also left our home in spotless condition. Our experience with Nicole was phenomenal. She is absolutely amazing.”


“Barbara took care of my senior dog while I camped overnight. My pup gets a little stressed when I’m away. I can tell that Barbara took great care of her because she wasn’t anxious when I got home, just happy! She was very friendly and you can tell she really cares for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”



“This is our 3rd time using Emily & she’s the best! Our girls are starting to really love her and we love knowing they’re well taken care of while we’re out! Thanks again Emily!”


About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs since the oldest was a puppy, I have take care of friends dogs as well as relatives dogs too. I’m currently working full time and take care of pets when I get home. When I’m taking care of dogs for others I find time before and after work. I have a fenced in yard, my dogs get along well with other dogs . I’ve had my dogs interact with other dogs since puppies . I take them on walks and there’s a dog park near my home.

I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, timely care. Your pet will get the playtime, walks, and attention they deserve throughout the day. I prioritize a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow any specific instructions you provide and always keep a close eye on your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. You can trust that your pet will be in caring, capable hands.

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three dogs (two Rottweilers and a Shih Tzu) who were treated like members of the family. In addition to a lifetime of personal experience around dogs, I also have numerous years of professional experience as a dog walker, dog sitter, and house sitter. Working with dogs is truly one of my greatest joys in life 😊 I promise to care for your fur babies (and your home) as if they were my own. I enjoy traveling to new locations for dogsitting, and am always up for an adventure! I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings as long as I'm available. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I'm self employed, which allows me the flexibility of setting my own schedule. When I'm working a dog sitting job, I consider it my first priority. I'm happy to adjust my personal schedule to accomodate your dog's individual routine and needs. I currently offer overnight dog sitting at my clients' homes. This allows your dog to feel at ease in his/her own living space, and alleviates the potential stress of traveling and adjusting to a new environment. I often work from home for my other jobs, so I'm able to spend lots of quality time bonding with the dogs that I work with. I'm very communicative with my clients during a job, and often send updates and photos to let you know how everything is going. If you're a dog owner who also has cats, I'm happy to care for them for a small additional fee. (Please refer to "additional cat" on the list of services that I provide).

About: Hi! My name is Kat, but I get it if that’s a dirty word in your house. I’ve been lucky to grow up with dogs of all levels; Huskies, Mastiffs, Pugs, etc. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors pets in 2019 and in 2021 I rescued my beautiful Cane Corso! I love all animals and can be trusted to treat your fur-baby with the upmost care and attention. I’m very active so I’m happy to play/hike/walk all day, I’ve even roller-skated with a pup. As I mentioned, I have a rescued giant breed. With her being a tougher rescue she has taught me how to handle almost any situation. She is reactive on walks so I’ve done training to continue to get her exercise with as much ease as possible. That being said, I can handle most dogs at all levels, no matter the size. Currently, I work 3 evenings a week with open daytime availability. I can drop in or take your pup for a walk anytime during the day and most evenings. I exercise often and go on lots of walks through the day, so if you have a high energy dog it’s no challenge for me. I wait a bit between exercise and feeding but I will prepare the food exactly how you and your pup prefer. I’m comfortable with crating and have done crate training.

About: I genuinely love animals and have experience taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve overseen pet sitting duties as well, as my girlfriend is a pet sitter herself. Almost always available. I have online college in the fall but I can make both work. I’m able to stay overnights as well or just sweep by. I can read pet emotions well. I am willing to play with your animal for hours or just chill with your animal if they are more relaxed and reserved.

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.

Rachel B.
“Rachel has been our primary dog sitter for over 3 years. Every time we travel she goes above and beyond to take the absolute best care of our two pups, even during extended trips. She’s been super reliable, the easiest possible person to work with, and has always been very communicative. Our dogs absolute love her, and it’s made leaving them so much easier knowing that they’re in good hands. Speaking from tons of past experiences with other sitters, there is no one I trust more to care for our fur babies. 11/10.”
