Doggy Day Care in State College

“Justin did a wonderful job with Charlie during his stay, and provided great video and photo documentation throughout the day. As new puppy owners, we appreciate his expertise and will be using his services again!”

“We were a little apprehensive, never used Rover before, we were unfamiliar with Rillan, just had past reviews to help us choose. Happy to say, we were pleasantly surprised! Rillan is definitely a dog person. Our dog loves to play with other dogs, but dogs need to be monitored so they don’t get too crazy. She has a nice outdoor fenced play area and inside open space. Like a good kindergarten teacher, Rillan makes sure each dog plays nicely, separates those that need a time out and also gives individual attention. She sent pictures and stayed in touch, just for an afternoon of doggie day care! Our dog’s day ended with a nap and snuggles with Rillan and another dog hanging out on the sofa!! Will definitely use her again!”

“Katie watched our girl last minute and I’m so thankful for her!! Nymeria had the best time and made herself comfy on the couch! I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Denika and her three dogs were so nice to my dog Hudson. She was great sending me pictures and videos of Hudson playing with her dogs. He had a blast.”

“Tina is very communicative before and during our visit. Milo seemed to be very happy when I picked him up! We will definitely be seeing Tina again. Thanks so much!”

“Tonks had a great time with Haley. We'll use her again for dog sitting in State College.”

“Vanessa was amazing to work with! This is our first time using Rover, and leaving our pup in the care of someone else (outside of family). She made us feel very comfortable and our Tucker felt right at home. Thank you for working with us and taking care of our precious pup! Tucker loved making new friends with you and your family - and the other pups! We were able to do the rest of the college tour with ease knowing he was in great hands and having a ball!”

“Our puppy had a great day with Bex!! Bex was super prompt with getting back to me, a great communicator. She has a wonderful fenced in backyard for dogs to play and hangout in. I will definitely be using Bex again for our puppies needs.”

“Elisabeth is professional, dependable and a good communicator. My cats and dogs can’t get enough of her! I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“I would absolutely recommend Codey to care for your fur children. Our pack of 4 dogs is always treated like family by Codey. She has the perfect demeanor and patience with dogs of all ages. Whether you need a person for a day or longer, Codey should be the top of the list.”

“I am writing this letter of recommendation for Faith, a student of mine, who is applying to become a dog walker and caretaker on Rover. I have known Faith for many years, and I am confident in her abilities as a pet-sitter due to her exceptional qualities and experiences. While she was surrounded by pets her entire life, Faith's passion for animals became evident when she welcomed her border collie, Bingo, into her life at the age of twelve. Faith's dedication and determination led her to teach Bingo over 100 tricks and participate in dog agility classes together. Their bond was remarkable, and they worked diligently to earn Bingo's certification as a Canine Good Citizen. Faith's history in training and understanding canine behavior truly sets her apart. Having grown up surrounded by various pets, including cats and chickens, Faith possesses years of experience caring for animals. She is equally adept at meeting the needs of cats as she is with dogs, as evidenced by her deep understanding and natural affinity for feline companions. Faith can read their behaviors, provide the necessary care, and create a nurturing environment. Her love for cats is evident through her playful interactions and patient approach, as demonstrated by her endearing relationship with her mischievous and spirited cat, Nelly. Faith is currently a proud owner of a rescue border collie named Little Pip, who exemplifies her remarkable abilities as a pet caretaker. Little Pip is well-behaved and possesses a gentle and sweet nature, a testament to Faith's training and nurturing. Her knowledge of animal behavior allows her to understand their needs and emotions, enabling her to provide the appropriate care and attention required. One of Faith's notable strengths is her ability to read animals and establish a connection with them. She is attuned to their signals and can effectively respond to their needs. Faith is both gentle and firm when necessary, demonstrating a balanced approach to handling animals. Her playfulness and enthusiasm make her an ideal companion, ensuring that pets under her care receive not only responsible attention but also a fun and engaging experience. Faith's sense of responsibility is unwavering. She takes her commitments seriously and can be relied upon to provide exceptional care to any pet entrusted to her. Her genuine love and concern for the well-being of animals drive her to go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and safety. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Faith as a pet-sitter. Her extensive experience, training, and profound understanding of animals make her an excellent candidate for this role. Faith's responsible nature, combined with her playful demeanor, guarantees that any pet under her care will receive exceptional attention and care. I have complete trust in Faith's abilities as a pet owner and am confident that she will excel in her endeavors as a pet walker and caretaker. - Katrina”
