“This is our third time using Malak, and she’s been incredible every time. When our cat broke the fountain, she quickly resolved the issue, going above and beyond. I always feel safe leaving our cats in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Elena was kind, compassionate, and followed drop-in instructions very well. She attended all agreed upon visits and cared for my cat like I would and that’s exactly the kind of person you want coming to take care of your fur babies!”
“It was a pleasure meeting Emily. My cats were comfortable with Emily on the first visit day. She played and took pictures during the visit. They were at ease and happy when I returned home.”
About: I grew up with dogs and so I have experience caring for dogs from their puppy years to their senior years. I am also the resident pet sitter in my family and so I have experience caring for other people's dogs. I want you to feel worry-free knowing your dog is in loving hands! I am currently job searching while I am in between jobs and so my schedule is flexible to work with you and your pet's needs! I will be attentive to your dog's needs and follow all instructions that you leave. I will spend quality time with your dog along with feeding, walking, and playing with them!
“Michelle is fantastic. We have been using her since we moved here and it is stress free knowing we have a great person to take care of our 3 pups while we are away. Her detail and updates put us at ease when we can’t be around. A++”
“Tara did a great job again watching my kitties while we were away. I really appreciate that she always sends update photos and spends the time to play. She even cleaned up some unexpected messes (naughty kitty unrolled a LOT of toilet paper) which was much appreciated!”
“Realla is great with communicating throughout the visit and prior to it. We can hear our cat Smokey get excited to see her walking through the door. Overall a great drop-in experience!”
“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”
“Jennifer was a fantastic dog walker & carer for our pup who stayed home while we went away. She was open to meeting with us prior, to form a bond with our anxious dog, who warmed up to her instantly! For once, we felt at ease travelling without Kobe. Jennifer also administered his medication everyday with no hiccups and stayed in contact with us daily, which made us feel very reassured. Not only would I recommend her services — we look forward to Jennifer watching Kobe again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would! ??”
About: I've cared for dogs since childhood and have not been without a dog in my household for over 20 years, love playing, walking and lounging around with my four legged companions! I am currently working a hybrid schedule with some flexibility on days in office. I am home most of the time as I have a toddler and fur baby at home. All dogs in my home are treated as my own; there are toys, ample walks, park time and healthy treats for good behavior. Routines work great for my dog so I am happy to continue your routine for your pup.
About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs since I was 10 years old, developing hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds over the years. My experience includes two beloved family dogs—Zeus, a 120-pound Pitbull, and our old senior dog Hannah, a 65-pound Whippet Mix—as well as others such as Cane Corsos, Maltipoos, Labradors, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs. Currently, I am attending Penn State University, where I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My hands-on experience, combined with my academic focus, has provided me with unique insights into animal behavior, health, and training techniques. I am dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment that brings out the best in every pet I care for. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I’m very active and prioritize exercise, so taking dogs on walks and runs is not only part of my routine but also a great way to bond, provide enrichment, and reinforce training. These outings help dogs stay physically and mentally stimulated—and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Additionally for senior dogs, I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, recognizing when they need rest, or extra comfort and support. My academic focus at Penn State revolves around animal care as I pursue a career in veterinary medicine, so I’m constantly learning about animal behavior, health, and wellness. This makes caring for pets both a personal passion and a meaningful extension of my studies. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely and provide a clean, secure space. I use positive reinforcement and repetition with treats to encourage good behavior and teach fun tricks. I don’t currently have pets at home, but I offer a fenced yard and plenty of room to play. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and adjust care accordingly, and I keep pet parents updated with regular photos, notes, and honest communication to reassure while they’re away.
“Caty provided excellent care for my senior dogs during her overnight stay. Knowing my boys were not alone and well taken care of eased my mind. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet. She provided updates and pictures throughout the day. I will definitely reach out to her the next time I need a dog sitter and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Justin is reliable, timely and very good communications during my trip always keeping me updated I will use Justin’s services again Thanks”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and know how much love, patience, and attention they need. I treat every pup like family and adjust my care to match their unique personality, whether they’re full of energy like my husky Reina or a little more selective like my nephew Leo. I believe dogs deserve more than just being walked or fed. They deserve companionship, play, and positive interaction throughout the day. My daily routine with Reina includes regular park visits, practicing basic commands, structured walks, and, of course, treat-time only after earning it! I’m strict about cleanliness and always pick up after the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is shy, sassy, or spirited—I have the experience, heart, and energy to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained. Think of me as your pup’s cool auntie who’s all about hugs, structure, and fun! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I walk, play, and train with my husky Reina every day, so adding more pups feels seamless! I enjoy spending my mornings and evenings outdoors, and weekends are perfect for longer walks or park visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick check-in or extended playtime, I make sure every pet gets the love, interaction, and attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy and helps balance my day with purpose, energy, and lots of wagging tails! In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I keep pets calm and happy by following their usual schedules, providing plenty of exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I stay in communication with pet parents, send updates and photos, and make sure their home is left just as I found it. Clean-up, poop pick-up, and proper pet hygiene are always a top priority. I aim to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free.

Taina C.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Taina to care for my 4 year old Frenchie. From the moment I contacted her, she demonstrated professionalism and a genuine love for animals that immediately put me at ease. She arrived exactly on time and asked detailed questions about my dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs he might have. This attention to detail reassured me that she was committed to providing the best care possible. Throughout our interactions, her kindness shone through. She spoke gently to my dog and made an effort to engage him in play right away. It was clear that she understood how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable with their caregivers. Her warm demeanor helped my dog relax quickly, which is often a challenge when introducing new people into his environment. During her time caring for my dog, I received regular updates and photos that showcased their activities together. It was heartwarming to see how much fun they were having! She took him on long walks, played tug with his favorite toys, and even worked on some basic training commands. My dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared-for during her visits. I cannot recommend Taina enough. Her promptness, kindness, and ability to connect with my dog made all the difference during my time away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with love and respect while ensuring their needs are met, look no further!”

Megan was amazing! She kept me updated with sweet photos and took great care of my cat during her drop-in visits. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. Would definitely book with her again!
Elena was so responsive and helpful with our son aka our Kitty. She sent pics and videos while we were on vacation which we loved and GREATLY appreciated! She took excellent care of our cat and we couldn’t be more greatful! Cheers, Jen and Jay
Emily is amazingly kind and compassionate. She took the best care of my doggo and made me feel at ease with updates and offers to accommodate Brownies needs with each visit. I will absolutely be contacting her in the future :)
Joanna is a wonderful and thorough pet-sitter. Took great care of our cat, fed her, played with her and sent lots of photos. Came home to our cat to find her looking happy and healthy!
Jennifer was so loving and accommodating of my dog’s anxiety. She immediately made him feel loved, cared for, and I can tell the cuddles and games she plays with him make him one happy and secure boy. I appreciate the attention and genuine care she gives each time she visits Brownie. My doggo and I adore Jennifer and I cannot recommend her enough!
Heather is an absolute life saver! Heather was able to care for my furry friend last minute and delivered professionalism, as well as comfort to my pal when I was not able to tend to him. My dog is so pleased with Heather and she is trusted in my home when I'm not around for Simba. I have rebooked with Heather and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! What a great Rover partner; thanks again!
Jose is an excellent cat sitter. I have three cats, and he was incredibly friendly with all of them. He communicates frequently and keeps you informed of any issues. Additionally, he ensures your home stays clean and just as you left it. I highly recommend his services!
Michelle is great! She’s very flexible and my pup has a great time with her as well adapt from her puppy to adult dog journey 💛
Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!
I knew I made the right choice when my shy boy made friends with Realla when they first met. My cats were well taken care of and their were consistent updates. The cans were taken out and the place was left clean!
This is our third time using Malak, and she’s been incredible every time. When our cat broke the fountain, she quickly resolved the issue, going above and beyond. I always feel safe leaving our cats in her care. Highly recommend!
Lavinia was super sweet and helpful. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule and check in. Most importantly my furry baby was very comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend for any pet sitting services!!
Zachary was an awesome cat sitter. He even got my persnickity princess to accept treats and pets from him. (And she's very selective about who is allowed to pet her.) He is kind, caring and communicative. I absolutely plan to use Zachary again when I need someone to watch my girl.
