“Rillan was awesome! I felt totally confident in her watching my precious fur baby ! She sent pictures, checked in, and also monitored a medical issue that Farrah was having ! I would recommend her and will use her services again:).”

“I had a fantastic experience with Crystal while she looked after my 9-month-old Snowshoe cat, Mavis, during my spring break. Right from the meet and greet, she knew her stuff. She introduced Mavis to her apartment, and her pet is around the same age, Sushi, and gave us some great tips on helping Mavis settle in. The Blink camera in the room where Mavis stayed was a nice touch, allowing Crystal to check in on her whenever she was out, which was reassuring. Plus, she ensured Mavis got plenty of playtime – she understood Mavis's playful side. I was impressed by how Crystal helped Mavis and Sushi become friends. They hit it off after a little supervised playtime, which made me feel even better about leaving Mavis with her. What genuinely set Crystal apart was her communication. She kept in touch throughout my trip, sending updates and adorable pictures of Mavis. It was so reassuring to see Mavis happy and well taken care of while I was away. In short, Crystal is fantastic at what she does. She's caring, professional, and loves animals. I'll definitely be calling on her again next time I need a cat sitter.”

“Tess and Curt helped me out in a pinch when I had to go out of town last minute. They responded promptly and the details were all coordinated very quickly. They are very friendly and have a lovely outdoor space for the pups to run around in. I got lots of pictures throughout Wendy's stay which I really appreciated!”

“Ryan took good care of Isabelle, and we were so thankful that he was able to accommodate us on a holiday. And Isabelle has a great time playing with Ryan’s dog, Charlie!”

“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!”

“5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”

“Lola had a blast during her little vacation while we were out of town! We immediately felt comfortable leaving our pup with Jodi and she sent us pictures, videos, and other updates throughout Lola’s stay. We would definitely send Lola to her new friends’ house the next time we vacation!”

“Katrina was an absolute blessing while watching our senior dog, Fudge. We were away for our daughter's graduation and she made sure we could be fully present without a second of worry. She took Fudge on gentle walks tailored to his pace, and constantly sent the sweetest videos and photos that had us smiling the whole weekend. You can tell she truly loves senior dogs — she was patient, attentive, and treated Fudge like her own. Returning to a happy, relaxed pup was the best graduation gift we could ask for. We trust Katina 100% and will be booking her again. If you have a senior dog, she’s your person!”
“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”

About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”


About: I have years of experience training dogs of all breeds and life stages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. With a securely fenced-in yard and expert handling, I’ll provide customized care that ensures a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pup at any age. I'm semi-retired and my children are grown. I'm home most of the time and would love to share our cozy home with your pet in a safe loving environment while you're out of town. I have a quarter acre fenced in backyard, away from any busy streets. We have large & small dog beds in the living room or if you prefer we also do have crate capacity. There is a state park only a few blocks away from the house that has wonderful hiking trails for dogs. Even when it's busy over the holidays we limit the amount of dogs at a time so the dogs don't get overwhelmed.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

“Kelly is a wonderful Pet Sitter. Her positive energy and friendliness helped me to feel comfortable working with her. My cats were well cared for and I will look forward to working with her again.”

“Sydney was wonderful! Very attentive to both of our cats while away and even turned on another room heater when the weather turned colder than expected. Would definitely book her again!”


“I would never use anyone but Marissa as long as she is willing. She is kind, genuine, devoted, communicative, and more! I am VERY worrisome typically and had no worries at all with Marissa taking care of Toro! :)”


“Samantha was great with our older cats that needed to be split up during our trip. She let them see each other during he visit and gave them each the food and care needed.”


About: I didn’t start out as a “cat person,” but when my daughter asked for a cat in 2008, everything changed. Seventeen years later, I’ve shared my home with four beloved family cats, cared for two foster litters, and volunteered for five years at a no-kill shelter in New Jersey. At the shelter, I gained hands-on experience with socializing cats, giving oral medication, and tending to their daily needs. I know how important the little things are (like a fresh, clean litter box) because they make life so much better for cats. I take pride in providing that kind of thoughtful, consistent care. My daughter is grown (and has two cats of her own!), and my leash-trained tabby, Lavender, and I moved to Bellefonte in the spring of 2025. Fun fact: In 2024, I set a goal to pet 100 different cats, and I surpassed it!

“Virginia did an excellent job caring for our cats. The cats loved playing with their toys with her (laser pointer was a hit) and lots of cuddles and pets! She sent videos and I know the cats were happy. I would recommend Virginia to anyone with cat sitting needs.”

About: I've had pets in my life since I was a child - dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats! I currently have one large dog (German Shepherd mix) and a cat. I'm comfortable caring for all sizes and types of dogs, any cats, or other small animals. I've worked with a trainer for my own dog for reactivity, and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs. I work full time during the week and am available for morning/evening visits and weekends visits or walks. I will give your fur babies the same love and care I give to mine, they are family! I work full time during the week so I am available for morning and evening visits during the week, and weekend visits or walks at any time. My fur babies are quite spoiled! I will give yours the same love and care. I'm professional, dependable, and genuinely love caring for animals, mine or yours!

“This was the first time we have used Rover or a pet sitter that wasn’t family, and we are so impressed and relieved by the care and attention Claire provided for our kitties! We booked last minute before our trip, and she still made time to do a meet & greet and sent thorough notes and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely book with Claire again!”

About: I was a professional pet sitter for 2 years and specifically I specialized in senior pet care for both cats and dogs. I grew up with dogs and worked with training both puppies and adult dogs. Additionally I have experience with petsitting for birds, reptiles, and small animals as well. I currently work full time so I have the most time on the weekends to dedicate the maximum amount of love and attention to pets. I have a yard where weekend boarded dogs can get plenty of exercise and play time, additionally I can guarantee that the pets I care for get a lot of personalized attention and love.
“Sara was wonderful! She kept us well informed throughout the entire process and was always quick to respond. She checked in the day before, which I truly appreciated and helped ease some of my nerves. After each visit, she sent a detailed report along with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were so grateful for her excellent communication and the thoughtful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pets.”


“Zoe took excellent care of Meatball even coming out after 9pm for final feeding . We will definitely use her again. She kept us updated each day with photos. Thanks !!”

“Emily was excellent. She was very patient with my cats, especially my older boy cat, who can be a bit curmudgeonly. She followed our pet/home care instructions, arrived on time, and most importantly, she gave the cats lots of attention. 5/5 stars!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals, primarily dogs, since I was a little girl, around age 5. I was raised with coonhounds and a beagle and enjoyed helping to feed and bath our coonhounds. I would show our coonhounds in dog shows and I had no issues handling a bigger breed. My beagle was my house dog and best friend and went everywhere with me. I am currently a dog mom to two beagles. Ringo, age 13, and Jakey, age 10. I recently rescued Jakey from Nittany Beagle Rescue, and I am a volunteer dog walker with the organization as well. Prior to Jakey, I had a rescue beagle named Brewski. Brewski had back issues and as he got older, he required a doggie wheelchair to help with his outdoor mobility needs and required doggie belly wraps for incontinence issues. I currently work so I am available any time on the weekends to care for your pet. I am also available most evenings beginning around to walk your pet. I currently use a leash for my dogs, or a tie out when they need to go out to the bathroom. I do not currently crate my dogs, but have crated them in the past.

“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!”

“My dog has major anxiety issues. Katie has been tremendous working with us in order to provide the approach care for our challenged girl. She has helped to troubleshoot what type of care to provide. It is also so reassuring to receive photos during her stays in order to provide me with a peace of mind. It’s truly been a pleasure working with Katie!”

“Tess and Curt were fantastic caregivers. I knew Beau was in great hands-they were warm and friendly and it was clear that they love dogs. In fact, the second day when I entered their driveway, Beau could not wait to get out of the car-this was certainly testimony to his great experience. I knew he was safe and I knew he was having fun interacting with other dogs along with Tess and Curt! I could also see from the videos that my dog was doing well in his new environment! It was a great experience for me and for my dog I will be reaching out to them again! Awesome!!!”

“So thankful to find Ryan and Michelle. They are super nice and we’re so kind to care for our standard poodle for a day while we had to rent a U-Haul and pick up some things at my mother’s house three hours away. It was great to know we left him in good hands! We hope they will take Kobi again!”

I assume all dogs are not friendly unless told otherwise, ensuring a cautious and respectful approach to each new dog. I am knowledgeable about foods that are toxic to dogs and take great care to prevent them from consuming anything harmful. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, rewarding good behavior rather than punishing the bad, to foster a trusting and happy relationship with the dogs I care for.

It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.”

“Laura was fantastic with Tasha, she sent me updates and photos, walked her a couple of times a day. Tasha had a nice time staying overnight. But mostly, i loved that her boy enjoyed having her in his house :)”

About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”


About: I have years of experience training dogs of all breeds and life stages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. With a securely fenced-in yard and expert handling, I’ll provide customized care that ensures a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pup at any age. I'm semi-retired and my children are grown. I'm home most of the time and would love to share our cozy home with your pet in a safe loving environment while you're out of town. I have a quarter acre fenced in backyard, away from any busy streets. We have large & small dog beds in the living room or if you prefer we also do have crate capacity. There is a state park only a few blocks away from the house that has wonderful hiking trails for dogs. Even when it's busy over the holidays we limit the amount of dogs at a time so the dogs don't get overwhelmed.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“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.”

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.
