Pet Sitting State College

“ochelle is an amazing cat sitter! Our cat, Maggie, absolutely loves her, and that gives us so much peace of mind whenever we're away. Rochelle always sends fantastic photos and thoughtful updates, so we never have to wonder how Maggie is doing. It's obvious that Maggie is happy, comfortable, and in great hands every visit. We truly appreciate Rochelle's care, reliability, and the genuine affection she has for our cat. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!”

“I had a different request and needed her help with getting my cat in the carrier. She did an awesome job with getting him in the carrier, she was very patient, nice, and friendly. I really appreciate her and would highly recommend!”

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, and even three pet mice! I’ve cared for my own pets as well as friends’ and family members’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with animals of all different personalities and needs. I currently have two cats of my own, one of whom has medical needs, and I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they need, especially in the mornings and evenings. I’m also happy to help on weekends or care for your pets for multiple days in a row! I would treat your pets like my own, with the same love and care my boys receive! Whether you have a quiet kitty, a spicy kitty, a playful pup, or a dog who just wants some extra company, I’d be happy to help. Of course, I’ll make sure they’re fed, cared for, and have everything they need, but I also want them to feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll happily spend time with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, take them for walks if needed, and keep them company so they don’t feel so alone!

“Christa was great with Murphy, our overly exuberient, female laborador retriever. She understood her body postures as fear or happy and reacted appropriately. She spent more time with her than we expected as this was just a stop by 3 times per day sitting. Would highly recommend her.”

“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”

“First time Rover user here and Michel was WONDERFUL!!! I can’t begin to convey how comforting it was to know that our dogs were safe, loved and cared for with no stress for them or us while we were away. She sent notes and pictures from each visit and it’s clear my dogs were very fond of her. I highly recommend her and will be a repeat user for sure!”

“Sophia was great! She watched over my cat for a week and made sure he had everything he needed and gave plenty of attention. Always timely and reached out if she had any questions.”

“We've been so lucky to have found Brenna! Our fur babies genuinely light up when they see her, which tells us everything we need to know. It's such a relief to leave our pets in the hands of someone we truly trust — she treats them so special. If you're searching for someone special to care for your furry family members, we couldn't recommend Brenna more wholeheartedly. She's truly one of a kind! 🐾”

“My cats loved her, she knows what she’s doing.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, from shih tzus to golden retrievers, and can also cater to special requirements. Past experiences have included no teeth, joint pain, and diabetes. I am currently a full time student, and would prefer to have visits /walks in the evening. However, under special circumstances, a day visit can be arranged. I will respect the boundaries of the dog, starting off slow and gaining their trust before anything else. I’m no stranger to skittish dogs, and sometimes it just takes a bit of time, but most if not all do warm up.

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 4 years, both while living in college and while at home. I have experience working with mainly teenage to older dogs, but have some experience working with younger dogs when my family got our first dogs. I am currently in law school here at Penn State and would be available most weekday nights! I can also help on the weekends, but am often traveling for school. With my school work being tiring and often not fun, being able to spend time with dogs, both just hanging out at night and playing in the yard is something I am more than happy to offer! I love dogs and will be very attentive to their needs during my time with them, from any quirky needs they have to keeping on their schedule to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.

About: Next summer will be my fourth year working at my local small animal clinic, and I have also pet/house sat for 5 years too! I am able to administer medication or any special requests you may have for your pet. I am currently a full time student at PSU, but I have availability throughout my less busy days to do drop in visits for dogs and cats or dog walking as needed! I try to be as flexible as possible with my scheduling. I am able to work with any accommodations your pet may need. I can give pills, put pets in crates, and follow schedules specific to your pets. I am also okay with pets who sleep in beds if that is what they are used to and comfortable with when their owner is home!

About: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific

About: Big or small, I’ve probably kissed it on the nose! My vet hospital experience gives me the ability to acknowledge changes in each species better than most. I’m a lover of horses and cows, so big dogs wouldn’t be any different for me. I’m happy to administer medications, keep up with a training schedule/routine, keep up with their energy needs by going to the dog park or walks, etc. I’m known to be a confident, compassionate, and reliable person with animals. I’m a morning person! I’m available most mornings and evenings. My class schedule doesn’t have me on campus for extended periods of time. I don’t have classes on Fridays and am looking to do this as my main income source! I will happily respect your house rules, but I could cuddle all day long with the fur balls! Growing up, I was totally guilty of letting my dog in bed and giving some human food. Now, I understand the importance of discipline and routine. I’m happy to follow your routine and give ample pet kisses along the way! I am sure to treat every pet as my own. If I notice a lump, bump, cut, etc. I’m never one to assume you already know about it. Their happiness and health is my top priority.

“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have classes Monday through Friday, generally between 10 AM and 1 PM, although my class times vary by day. I’m available to help before and after my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need! Because I have two cats at home who don’t get along with dogs, I don’t offer pet care in my apartment. Instead, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since age 14 in Long Island, NY. I’m studying Animal Science on a Pre-Vet track at Penn State and currently work at a veterinary clinic, where I gain experience with many different animals. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. As a Penn State student, I have some longer breaks between classes throughout the week. I usually enjoy going on walks during that free time, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I’d love to make those walks a little more fun while giving your pets some extra attention and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure to follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owners. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I always try to make them feel at home.

“Erica did a great job with our dogs! We will definitely rebook with her soon!”

“Carla was amazing! She came to meet our two dogs prior to watching them for us. We were a bit hesitant to use a service as our usual pet sitter was going to be out of town. Carla was delightful and we trusted her immediately to care for our girls. She sent us great pictures of our dogs while we were away. You can tell she is a true animal lover. Carla is very calm, professional, caring and communicated with us in a timely manner. She even picked up our mail for us, which was appreciated. We recommend her without hesitation. We will definitely have her take care of our beloved pets again.”
