“Maya was amazing and will be my first pick for watching my animals from now on. Super professional, sent me updates, and I felt so at ease leaving my babies in her care. (Almost didn’t leave a review because I don’t want her to be too in demand!)”


“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.”


“Lexie is fantastic with our nervous girl, Lucy. She spent 10 days with her and treated her like a princess- just hanging out with her and taking her for walks. She also was great about keeping us updated and responding to messages quickly. We will definitely request Lexie again.”


“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.”


“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 :)”


“Morgan is one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog, Tilly. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive, ensuring that Tilly is well taken care of and happy while we are away. Morgan's professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does, and we always return to a spotless home and a contented dog. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog/house sitter. Thank you, 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.

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

“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.”


“Nicole was amazing! She watched our two dogs, one of which is a puppy, and she was so great with them. She communicated with us the whole time we were gone, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated about how potty training was going. We can’t wait to have her back to watch Archer and Maeve again!”


“Took great care of our pup. Sent pictures everyday, sometimes multiple pictures. Our rascal chewed on a few of her items and she let me know if the most polite and professional way.”


“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!”


About: I’m a college student with a super flexible schedule and a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and hamsters — so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for friends and family, helping with everything from walks and playtime to overnight stays. I always treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm a college student currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open! I'm available most hours throughout the week and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I ever have limited availability, I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance. 😊 I have an open yard and can leash dogs as needed for outside time, which is also perfect for walks and play. Pets are welcome on the furniture unless you’ve trained otherwise. If I’m boarding in your home, I’ll be sure to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy.

“Delaney was great first time using her services and was alittle nervous about being on a cruise with out being able to get pup-dates but what a wonderful job she did with our 2 boys. Highly reccomend.”


About: I can’t recall a time that I didn’t have a pet in my household. I’ve had a variety of pets such as cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ve also taken in over 60+ kittens and found them homes. I take care of my pets on a daily basis. I keep them on a routine and make sure to feed them the same amount every time at the same time. I will make sure to monitor everything closely and keep them on a schedule as needed. I plan on working with animals in a zoo, and keeping animals on a schedule there is very important.

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.

Rylee B.
“Hi Rylee boyer is quite an animal lover. She's always had animals and takes care of them very well. She was part of a catch and place kitten neighborhood project where she shared responsibilities for 92 kittens within a two year period. Rylee caught, cared for, and found homes for most of the kittens herself. She would make an excellent pet care giver.”
