About: What sets me apart is my ability to tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's training a new puppy with positive reinforcement techniques or providing specialized care for senior pets, I focus on understanding and addressing their individual requirements. My approach includes regular communication with pet owners to ensure their preferences and routines are followed, making the experience as comfortable and seamless as possible for both pets and their families. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I start by ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given any necessary medications. Throughout the day, I maintain their environment and address any needs that arise. My routine also includes regular updates to pet owners, providing them with peace of mind and ensuring continuity of care. Each week, I review and adjust routines to accommodate any changes in the pet’s health or behavior. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, clean spaces, and safety measures like pet-proofing and monitoring. I also follow a consistent routine to maintain stability and comfort for pets. In a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following their specific instructions and maintaining their pet’s usual environment and routines. I ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed, and I keep the home clean and hazard-free. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owners are key to ensuring their pet’s well-being and their own peace of mind.
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
About: I have 20+ years of experience with caring for pets. I do my job and do it correctly, I take safety of animals very strictly, so they will be safe at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I need to make cash to provide for my family, also I have time on my hands to help people who need care for their pets. I provide care in your home by feeding your pets with their correct food and having a play pal, also when they need to be walked I happen to be able to do that so they get their daily walks and potty time in. I have plenty of time on my hands to help your dogs or cats have a great day! My daily/weekly routine is making sure your pets are loved and taken care of even when you aren’t home I care for your pets in you home with the up most love and respect they deserve, I will give them pets, play with them, walk them so they have outdoor time.
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in State College is $40

My pups had such a good time with Simone and Kenya! They seemed very happy when I picked them up. I was so excited to see the pictures through the app every day. It looks like they got lots of walks and cuddles 🥰 I will definitely be reaching back out to Simone and Kenya for our next trip!
Alexis was fantastic. I booked her last minute and she did an amazing job. Sadie had an upset stomach when I dropped her off and Alexis did a great job with Sadie's meds and looking after her. She was feeling much better when she got home. Would definitely book again.
We are so grateful for Laura and her wonderful family! Our usual sitter wasn't available and Laura helped our dog feel right at home during our week away. Through regular messages, which included adorable pictures, we were assured of her settling in and being treated as a family member by all of them. We knew she was loved and cared for by a knowledgeable and loving family. I highly recommend Laura and will definitely be bringing our dog back again.
I would definitely book Ana again! She was prompt in communication, flexible with scheduling, and had a clean and great space to board my pup for 21 days. This was the longest I've been away from my pup for a while and she sent photos and videos every few days along with an update which I was so grateful for. There were no emergencies or incidents while we were out which just shows how much Ana took care to read the instructions and take the best care of Coral. You should absolutely book Ana!
Mitty did an excellent job looking after my cat when I was away. She played with my cat a lot and was very attentive to my 13 year old cat’s needs. I received many videos and photos updating on my cat’s adjustment to a new environment. I would definitely recommend Mitty!
Bailee took amazing care of my senior dog, Brodie! He had to start a new medication routine and Bailee did amazing with giving his medications on time. She provided daily updates on how Brodie was doing and she made sure he was comfortable during his stay with her. Thank you so much Bailee!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
