“The experience I had boarding my Abby (golden) with Mariah was truly a great experience. You're always nervous to leave your Fur Baby with someone new. She put me at easy in the first two minutes. She loves and cared for my dog like it was her own. My baby was happy, happy to see me, but she didn't want to leave! It was funny! Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated her fitting me in like she did. Great Experience!”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“Michelle was wonderful! Diesel came back from his mini vacation extremely happy and comfortable. I call it a mini vacation because he had so much fun! Normally he can be very anxious and nervous when leaving him for an extended stay away from me, but when I picked Diesel up after his stay with Michelle, he was calm, happy, and didn't skip a beat, seeming like he didn't miss me much...which is all I could hope for from a pet sitter! I ended up needing an extra night from the original booking as well, and Michelle was more than willing to accomodate me. You can truly tell they love your babies like their own. I look forward to continuing to use her for all my future bookings! Thanks again, Michelle!”
“Our second time having our dog stay with Michael and Melanie and she had the best time! We appreciate all the updates, photos, videos. Great family. Truly couldn’t ask for a better experience for our pup.”
“Five stars all around, amazing sitters, super responsive and shared lots of pictures which we absolutely loved seeing. They were above and beyond communicative and amazing and look forward to having our pup stay with them again!”
“Im so thankful for Jennifer, she was able to watch my puppy last minute, she was great communicating with me throughout my puppy stay. She’s wonderful with animals and I definitely will be booking another stay with her and her family!!”
“Amber is truly a dog lover. Her children also love dogs and keep them entertained. We are so glad we crossed paths with her because our dogs never had a dull moment and were entertained the whole time. Amber kept us updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures. We highly recommend using her!”
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.
“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!”
About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!
“Felicia was fantastic—from coming to where I live to have her meet my pup and let him see how he got along with her two dogs, to the pics she sent while I was gone...everything was what I was hoping for during my first time using Rover. Her love of dogs is readily apparent and my dog had a great time playing with hers. Definitely recommend and I’ll be signing up again with her next time I need to leave town.”

Lots of yard to run and play alone or with my dogs! Crating available if needed.
About: I used to run my own successful pet sitting business out of the Hollidaysburg veterinary clinic with the help of Dr. Kendra. I had many happy, recurring clients and really enjoyed working with local families and their pets. I have experience working with all types and sizes of animals (as well as personalities).

Currently right now I have a 3 Golden Retrievers named Willie, Waylon, and Hank. I also have a cat named Cash! I current work full time Monday-Thursday. I can be available later evenings if needed, we would just have to work things out in advance. I am generally free Friday-Sunday for any needs as well but also with notice. We have a 2 acre yard that my pups are free to roam via a underground fence. But we also have a lead for my moms dogs when she brings them over to play. We have a big house with a good sized living room and kitchen where all of my pups play as well when we have to be inside.
“Madison was such a great sitter for our doggy Sky! Our flight home even got unexpectedly cancelled and she made accommodations to extend her stay decreasing my stress over the situation. Madison even gave me updates on how sky was doing and my dog came home happy and not nervous at all, which i appreciate in a sitter. I would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting because she was absolutely wonderful!”

“Mariah did drop in visits for my two cats while we were on vacation. She did a wonderful job taking care of them, giving them attention, and providing us lots of updates. Would definitely recommend her to any pet owner!”
About: With 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, along with 10 years caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who eventually required special care, I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable care including walks, feeding, playtime, and attentive support while following routines closely. These experiences have made me a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who treats every pet like my own.
“Loved meeting Emily she was fantastic had a lot minuted change in schedule and she accepted the change no problem my kitties all four were very well cared for she sent pictures each day do I worried less I feel guilty leaving them when I do Thank You Emily I will definitely be looking forward to using you again”
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”
“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”
“Liv was great with Mr. Oats! This was our first time using Rover services and it was a great experience. Liv quickly responded to our request, was willing to meet Mr Oats before our scheduled request. Communication was great and she provided several photos of her visits with Mr Oats! Thanks Liv! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I have worked with horses, many different sizes of dogs, and I am an animal lover at heart. We’ve got your tail covered all day. So I am free almost all the time and it would be me and my mom but mainly me and I have worked with many size and ages of dogs. I always keep an eye on the surroundings of where I walk the dogs and I make sure they’re safety is number one along with mine I don’t let them out of my site and I’m a very cautious person
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

“I couldn’t have found a better dog sitter if I tried! My dog took to Mariah and hers like they were old buds. The spacious home and fenced yard provided plenty of room. The whole family is welcoming and very experienced with pets. Count me and Champ as repeat guests.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Thankfully, growing up we had multiple dogs and cats which allowed me to experience the love a pet can bring. I couldn’t imagine a life without having pets. With experience pet sitting before, I know that each home comes with different routines and scenarios. I’ve had to train plenty of puppies, given medicine to elderly pets, and always enjoy building a relationship with a furry friend! I currently work full-time from home as a Content Manager. I have a moderately flexible schedule if need be, but for the most part, I’m looking for some long- term options so I can build a working relationship with the pet and owner. However, whenever my schedule allows I’m always open to pick up an overnight here and there! I treat each pet that enters my home as I treat my own! Pets are family, they deserve to be treated as such! Comfort is key in keeping my pet and other pets happy in the home.
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful for my dog, Toast! They were super accommodating and I would definitely let them watch Toast again! Toast had a great time and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Suzanne for the day! :)”

“If you’re looking for the absolute best care for your dog, look no further than the amazing Tess & Kurt! From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely love dogs. They took the time to get to know my pup’s personality and quirks, and introduced her to their dog in a very patient and understanding way. Their communication was fantastic—they provided hourly updates (which they didn’t have to do) and the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was so happy and relaxed when I returned, I could tell she’d been showered with attention. What really sets them apart is their kindness and patience. I can’t recommend them highly enough—trustworthy, caring, and truly the nicest dog sitters ever. Chili can’t wait for his next stay! Thank you both for everything! 🐾”
“I had an amazing experience with this pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She is an extremely good dog sitter—very attentive, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. Her communication is wonderful, always respectful and efficient, which made the entire process so easy and stress-free. When there was an issue with the leash, she went out of her way to replace it without any complaints, which I really appreciated. It showed how responsible and considerate she is. She also sends pictures during visits, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy my puppy was. Most importantly, my puppy was very comfortable with her and genuinely happy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I love to spend time with animals. I am known for spoiling my pets. Let me spoil yours! I have a very open availability, I am willing to work around your schedule, and I have my own reliable transportation. I am a patient, kind and respectful dog and cat owner, willing to work with your pets. I have extended experience with senior dogs, and am respectful of their limitations and needs. I have experience administering both oral and suppository medications, diapering and dogs in heat. I am open to many pet related activities. I have taken pets to the groomers and veterinarian, as well as helped at events such as weddings and parties, when people want their pets to be there or involved. Please don’t hesitate to ask, because we can probably make it happen! I am comfortable caring for many different animals. Living on a farm, I have years of experience with and am comfortable caring for many animals, including cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I am available as much or as little as you need for your animals! Please reach out, because I would love to meet your pets! I can normally respond very quickly, but there can be some noticeable lags on Rover updating information and conversations. Please be patient. If you are booking during a Penn State activity, game, holiday, etc., I will charge the holiday rate, as they are highly sought after times and traffic can be rough. I am a full-time pet care provider. I have Monday - Friday regular clients, but usually can accommodate your pet’s needs if you provide adequate notice. Typically if your pet can be left alone for 2-4 hours then I can help you. I am able to offer a number of more premium services, such as 24/7 pet care and out of town house sitting, but that takes a lot of forethought and planning. I will not accept a request without meeting you and your pet(s) first. This gives us an opportunity to go over all your pet’s needs and your questions. Number one question I get - will you be bringing your dog to my home? Sometimes this is out of curiosity, sometimes they like the idea of their pet having a buddy, but usually it is a safety concern. My dog will never enter your home. When I house sit overnight my dog stays with my sister. She is perfectly happy there and I don’t have to split my focus. My job is to focus on YOUR pet! During walks and in general, I do not allow dogs to interact with people or other dogs/pets. This is a big safety concern, as I often know nothing about other people/pets in the area. I do not take those types of liberties with your pets. We will instead turn a corner, cross the street, come back the way we came, or I politely inform them that ‘this is not my dog’, ‘we don’t have time today’, etc.
About: I’ve watched multiple of my family members dogs, ranging from big to little dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I also enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood or to the park. I’m currently taking care of my grandma so I don’t really have a set schedule. So I’m always willing to help out. I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.
About: I have taken care of a reactive dog for 2 years and have been dog sitting since age 12. I have loved every minute of it and cannot wait for more opportunities to do so! I work from home 7am-3pm every day. My house is spacious and comfortable. Working from home every day allows me to have free time to let the special pup I luckily get to watch out into the yard to play and give them the attention they need whenever they need it. I have all the necessities for pet care at my own home such as a bissell pet vacuum for messes, dog bowls, a sand box for digging, treats… etc. I have a large yard and a deck behind the house so they can have ample outdoor time.
“As always, Annie enjoyed her time with Dean. I really appreciate the pictures he shares of all their activities. I never have any concerns when Annie stays with Dean. He provides her with great care. And he makes her feel welcome and comfortable in his home.”
About: There wasn’t a time a golden retriever wasn’t apart of my family. Through a lifetime of love I’ve learned the secret language of our canine/feline companions. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs in their most vulnerable moments, I’ve dealt with the chaos of training two energetic puppies at once, and everything in between. My pet care experienced does not stop at dogs and cats, I have personal experience with rodents, rabbits, fish, bearded dragons you name it. I work part time so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of flexibility to best accommodate any clients needs. I am available all day Monday and Tuesday, and after 2 pm Wednesday-Sunday I believe that animals deserve the same respect and care as humans, if not more. With my services, you can expect meticulous attention to your pet’s needs, including preparing and serving meals according to their specific dietary requirements and schedules. To keep your pet stimulated and happy, I will engage them in physical activities and playtime tailored to their individual energy levels. Additionally I can perform light household tasks related to pet care, such as cleaning litter boxes and maintaining feeding areas. Basic grooming, including brushing and bathing as needed, is also part of my commitment to ensuring your pet’s well-being.
“Maya, was wonderful and accommodating. She took care of my pet Nova and I appreciate the love and care she provided . She will be a wonderful loving friend to your pet . Nova was happy to go again on the second day of his daycare. I would leave Nova again with her in the future. Thank you Maya”
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”
“My dog, Mr. Cow Cow had a wonderful day with Sarah! She immediately made him feel right at home. he had fun playing with Sarah‘s dog and Sarah sent me updates and pictures along the way.I was worried he might not want to leave when I came back to pick him up! 🤣😂”

I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines.

Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.

“Whitney's an absolutely pro. Our dog is not easy -- she pulls like crazy, is reactive to other dogs, doesn't like children, and tries to lunge for squirrels whenever possible. Needless to say I was very nervous about handing the leash over to someone new. But Whitney managed it all with positivity and professionalism. She patiently learned about our dog's issues and weathered the storm. Thank you!!”

“Kaitlyn is our weekly dog walker and she does a wonderful job walking our pups! Admittedly I was a bit nervous to get a walker for one of our dogs in particular because she has escaped before. However Kaitlyn listened to all my instructions and concerns and takes great care with both our pups! I would certainly recommend her for any of the services she provides!”

About: CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” Let your dog have a happy stay while your away! I am passionate about animals and want your animal to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here for there stay. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! I am home at all times so your pet is never left alone. Get up at 6am potty and feed. There is a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please for most of the day but I close this at night for there security. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with mine and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and my dogs won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. There’s couches for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Ow if they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.

“The experience I had boarding my Abby (golden) with Mariah was truly a great experience. You're always nervous to leave your Fur Baby with someone new. She put me at easy in the first two minutes. She loves and cared for my dog like it was her own. My baby was happy, happy to see me, but she didn't want to leave! It was funny! Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated her fitting me in like she did. Great Experience!”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“Michelle was wonderful! Diesel came back from his mini vacation extremely happy and comfortable. I call it a mini vacation because he had so much fun! Normally he can be very anxious and nervous when leaving him for an extended stay away from me, but when I picked Diesel up after his stay with Michelle, he was calm, happy, and didn't skip a beat, seeming like he didn't miss me much...which is all I could hope for from a pet sitter! I ended up needing an extra night from the original booking as well, and Michelle was more than willing to accomodate me. You can truly tell they love your babies like their own. I look forward to continuing to use her for all my future bookings! Thanks again, Michelle!”
“Our second time having our dog stay with Michael and Melanie and she had the best time! We appreciate all the updates, photos, videos. Great family. Truly couldn’t ask for a better experience for our pup.”
“Five stars all around, amazing sitters, super responsive and shared lots of pictures which we absolutely loved seeing. They were above and beyond communicative and amazing and look forward to having our pup stay with them again!”
“Im so thankful for Jennifer, she was able to watch my puppy last minute, she was great communicating with me throughout my puppy stay. She’s wonderful with animals and I definitely will be booking another stay with her and her family!!”
“Amber is truly a dog lover. Her children also love dogs and keep them entertained. We are so glad we crossed paths with her because our dogs never had a dull moment and were entertained the whole time. Amber kept us updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures. We highly recommend using her!”

About: I've walked dogs, as well as watched them while the owners were away since I was little. I don't currently own any larger animals, but I have always handled them. Any dog wouldn't be an issue I currently could fill pretty much any need! I have a few hours of every day that I am busy, but I can be available pretty much anytime! I have an unfenced in yard that I would keep the dog leashed within, but I also know many of the dog friendly hiking trails within the Altoona area. I would be will to do whatever your most comfortable with!
“Felicia was fantastic—from coming to where I live to have her meet my pup and let him see how he got along with her two dogs, to the pics she sent while I was gone...everything was what I was hoping for during my first time using Rover. Her love of dogs is readily apparent and my dog had a great time playing with hers. Definitely recommend and I’ll be signing up again with her next time I need to leave town.”

“Madison was such a great sitter for our doggy Sky! Our flight home even got unexpectedly cancelled and she made accommodations to extend her stay decreasing my stress over the situation. Madison even gave me updates on how sky was doing and my dog came home happy and not nervous at all, which i appreciate in a sitter. I would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting because she was absolutely wonderful!”
