2. Haley S.
“Haley took amazing care of Toby and kept me updated with pictures of their adventures which definitely helped me since I missed him so much. I will absolutely book again next time I need a dog sitter”
3. Tess & Curt M.
“Tess and Curt were absolutely amazing. Easily some of the best people that have ever cared for my dog, Honey! They provided the best environment for her and were incredibly diligent about making sure they were familiar with her schedule, behavior, and personality before she even arrived. Their dog, Finn, was also a joy and the best playmate for Honey. I loved knowing that she was getting so much interaction and stimulation! They also spent a TON of time with Honey and sent me multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day! I never worried about Honey once. I would choose them over and over again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, safe, and involved family to care for their dog. I can’t say enough good things about them!”

“Rillan exceeded expectations as a dog sitter for Shylo. She demonstrated genuine affection for my pup, and was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. Shylo returned home content and well-cared-for. I confidently recommend Rillan for her excellent pet-sitting services.”
5. Ryan K.
“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”

16. Angie L.
“Angie was amazing! We left our Sadie with her for 2 nights for our wedding weekend in State College and she was fantastic. She was careful to understand all of Sadie’s likes and dislikes and really cared about Sadie having a comfortable stay. She sent the most photos and updates of any Rover sitter we’ve used so far which was so nice! She gave Sadie extra attention when Sadie was scared during a thunderstorm and took her for lots of walks. I would absolutely book Angie again and would recommend her to anyone in the State College area.!”
