Zoe did an excellent job caring for Rena while I was on vacation. She exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using her again! She stayed in touch with me and kept me informed. She proved to be more than responsible and trustworthy in my home.

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

Ruth is amazing. We were on a trip for over two weeks. She made sure the dogs and cats were loved and well-cared for the entire time we were gone. She sent updates and pictures to let us know they were all doing well. Since it was summer, our dog and cat both shed. She vacuumed the house so the dust bunnies did not conquer our planet. She is just wonderful!

Rochelle was absolutely amazing with Harley while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! She sent such amazing pictures and kept me up to day everyday! It was so nice to be able to relax knowing she was well taken care of. Plus our house was cleaner when we returned than how we left which made coming home vacation even more enjoyable!!

About: I have owned 7 dogs throughout my life. My family has also fostered 10+ dogs over the years. I have experience training animals, taking care of senior animals, and dealing with a variety of animal temperaments. I know how important pets are to a family so I always treat any dog I meet the same as I would my own. I work between 20-35 hours a week over the summer (Mon-Fri). However, I tend to have quiet evenings perfect for lounging with pets. I don’t work on weekends and have lots of free time then. Safety is very important to me when taking care of any animals. I always monitor animals when they are outside, I use proper harnesses when walking animals, and keep doors locked.

About: Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary! I am currently working part-time and am a part-time student at Penn State (student status subject to change). I will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I cannot provide boarding services at this time, so all my pet care services will be at or around your home. I can walk the dogs, play with them, make sure they are properly fed and watered, and take them outside regularly.

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.

Katrina took such good care of my pup Frankie during their house-sit! Frankie is a high-energy pitbull mix. Katrina sent regular updates and communicated really clearly. When I got home, Frankie was happy and doing really well, and my house was in perfect condition. Would book Katrina again in a heartbeat.

About: I've been caring for pets of neighbors, family, and friends since I was a child. I love and care for animals of all breeds, sizes, and abilities. I’m currently interning part-time and will be in office every other day, as reflected in my Rover calendar. Outside of this, I am open to care for your pets! I understand that all animals have different boundaries and personalities, and I take that into account with each animal I care for. I am gentle with all pets and ensure that their safety and comfort is my top priority.

Emma was so great. She showed up early and stayed the entire requested time. She took really good care of my baby boy and even brought in a heavy package that was delivered a day early so it wouldn't be sitting outside. She was very communicative and respective of my home. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.

Vicki was great! Our pups loved being with her and enjoyed all her special care. We knew all was well when she described how they jumped in her lap and how they responded. Beyond basic care, she also had to deal with a strong storm that was stressful for one dog and knocked out power for hours. The security system had issues as well and Vicki handled all of it. Highly recommend Vicki!

I can't say enough great things about Amelia. We have now used her a second time, and it was even better than the first time we gave a five-star review because she was familiar with our pets and the house. She is great with the pets (they love her) and so respectful of our house. We will continue to use Amelia as long as she is available in our area.
