About: I have taken care of a large variety of dogs since I was in middle school, outside of the 3 I have grown up with. I have always been reliable to feed, walk, play and give potty breaks according to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from 5 lbs to 150 lbs, and dogs of all ages. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I mainly work in the afternoons, but my house always has someone available for constant socializing. Whenever I am not at work, I am at home, and will have plenty of quality time to give your pet. :) I love to go on long walks, and have friends who like to join so your animal will be thoroughly socialized. I ensure your dog is never bored with plenty of play time and attention. I am happy to take your pet to a nearby dog park as well, if that is something you are comfortable with.
“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've grown up with dogs my entire life, at least 8 over the years, plus 9 puppies we rehomed to better lives. My mom and I were always the type to stop for any dog that needed help, so caring for them just became second nature to me. I was always the go-to in my family when it came to looking after them, no matter how many we had at once. Your dog will be in hands that genuinely love them. I have a flexible schedule so I'm available pretty much anytime. If you're able to book it, I'm always there and ready. I care for pets in my home and treat them like my own. I make sure they're comfortable, well fed, and never left feeling alone. I offer walks, boarding, and daycare.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I also started volunteering at Centre County Paws, so I’ve furthered my skills in caring for dogs. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I work 12 hours shifts every other Wednesday, and every Thursday though Saturday. I also have a roommate who can help out. I don’t have a big yard to run around in, but there is plenty of places around to go for walks. Can crate if crate is available.
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.
“Megan was fabulous! Send pictures of our doggo, has the cutest space in her home, put “welcome plato!” on a chalkboard, and really made us feel at ease leaving our little guy for the weekend!”
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.
University Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Jessica and her family were amazing sitters for our Labrador "Bella!" We couldn't have asked for a nicer or kinder family to entrust our fury family member. Bella loved her time with Jessica leaving my wife and I comforted to know she was in good care! Highly recommend Jessica for any pet sitting services. She took the time to periodically send videos and photos during Bella's stay. This further secured our trust that Bella was in good hands and allowed my wife and I to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Jessica again!
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!
Our experience (and our two dogs") with Liss and Zach was overwhelmingly positive; we plan to use their services again the next time the poodles need a sitter. They made an extra effort from the beginning to make sure that the 9-day stay while we were traveling would go smoothly. During the stay, when there was any issue (e.g., typically our dogs go on a hunger strike for the first day or two of being boarded in a new environment), they communicated quickly and clearly with us to be sure we were comfortable with how they handled it. Their experience and knowledge of canine care really shows--we think the pups came back better-behaved and in better shape than when we dropped them off. The large fenced yard was great for high-energy, playful dogs like ours. Finally, it was clear that they had grown to like Liss and Zach. Sure, they were glad to see us again, but there was none of the frantic "Save me, get me out of here" reaction we've seen after some boarding experience.
Such a good experience! Sent me plenty of photos and let me know that my dog behaved very well. This was my first time boarding my dog and felt at ease leaving her with Isabella. Was very accommodating when it came to some of my travel delays and communicated well. Thank you!! Would definitely book again!
