“I chose Deb as my sitter the first time I used Rover and I will choose her again. If I have to leave him with someone again. She was fantastic with Levi. I much preferred the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, get to know the person that is willing to care of my sweet Levi, like I do. She sent me pictures & up dates each day, they played outside every day, he slept in her bed. We go camping and Levi always goes with, but this time we went to an AirBNB (No dogs aloud) his first time away from us, and he did fine.”
“Thank you so much Mayra for taking amazing care of my baby boy on this long stay. Mayra is amazing and i can tell by the pictures and videos i was receiving daily that Milo was in loving care. Thank you so much to Mayra and her family!”
“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“Deirdre was great, its clear she loves animals. She is in a nice quiet country setting and we especially liked her fenced in shady backyard so our Westies could play safely. She was very attentive to details and sent us pictures during their overnight stay. We’ve already booked with her for our week long vacation in Aug. We definitely recommend Deirdre!!!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Great sitter, able to communicate efficiently and assist with any questions or concerns for my animal. Provides adorable photos of my dog on the daily. Will definitely book him again”
“Jo-Ellen is an outstanding Rover host!! She really went above and beyond to make sure Zoom was comfortable given this was only his second rover stay. I'm grateful for the A+ communication and attention given to Zoom. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic and lots of grassy lawns. Definitely will be leaving Zoom with Jo-Ellen during future travels!”
“Cera was amazing with my puppy. He isn't even a year old yet and this was his very first time away from us. He was timid at first and Cera was always communicating how he was doing and sending pictures. I felt so good leaving him with someone that loves him like her own. I would trust Cera with any furry friend. She was absolutely amazing!”
“We were so happy to have found Anna to watch Jagger for a last minute day trip we went on. She is a caring, kind, & thoughtful person. We could tell Jagger had a great day with Anna. We highly recommend her to take great care of your pet.”
“This was perfect for what I needed. We had no local friends or family that could take our cat. We were going to be away but he couldn't be at the house because we were having work done on it while we were gone. They took our cat into their home. I was surprised to see they had other cats when I arrived. But one question on the survey was if your pet does well with other cats, which he does, but cats tend to not be friendly with new cats initially so I was a bit worried they'd fight, but they had a separate area, a sun room that they allowed Sox to adjust in and during the week they had sent pictures of him being inside the home on the couch so obviously it was fine. I actually never met or dealt with Sarah only her Mom. Which I felt was odd. I was expecting the person pictured, the person I paid. Her Mom was lovely and clearly there were no issues and my cat was returned safely to me, I just felt it was odd the Sarah was sleeping or "resting because she works a lot" both times I was there. I didn't take any stars off my review for that, because again the service accomplished what I needed which was my cat to be cared for outside of my home.”
“It was a pleasure to work with Brenda. During the meet and greet, it became obvious she is very knowledgeable and caring. She communicated quickly and well throughout the process. This was my first time using a petsitter and I would have no hesitation using Brenda’s services again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Our experience was excellent! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone new, but Mollie is so warm and welcoming our little guy had no hesitation going with her. She provided frequent updates and was communicative, helpful, and reliable. We have already recommended Mollie to our friends and will continue to do so! You can tell Mollie loves what she does, and her caring and kind nature shines through in every interaction. We know when our pup is with Mollie he is safe and loved like her own. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Megan was wonderful! She was super accommodating and provided exceptional care for my dog who needed a little time to settle in. I received daily updates, sometimes more, and regular pictures.”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was in my 20s. I have crate and potty trained all my dogs. I have patience and compassion for dogs. I would often meet up with friends and family at house party gathering and dog park gatherings to socialize my dogs and to show them love, companionship, and that they are a member of the family not only a pet. I've kept and cared for dogs until there dying age and paid for there cremation. I am indeed a dog loving person. I am currently taking care of my mom who has dementia 24/7 and I am home with her all day. The only days I'm out the house is when my mom or myself have a doctor's appointment. The time I have during the day, I can do dog walks and drop by to feed and let your dog out to your yard.

He is shown love everyday and has all his shots and vet visits up to date.
“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”

“We re-booked Jen to care for our three cats and she did not disappoint. She took excellent care of our cats, kept me updated with photos, and even brought in some unexpected packages that were delivered. Best of all, she was able to connect with William, our scaredy-cat who's afraid of everybody, and it seems like he had a great time and got lots of playtime while we were away. I'm so glad to have found Jen, someone I can rely on to care for my boys as if they were her own, and also trust with my home. Thank you, Jen!!!”
“This was my first time using a sitter instead of friends or family, so I was pretty nervous leaving my hyperthyroid cat who needs daily medication and has become very picky with food. Maggie was fantastic—she followed my notes closely, was patient with his routine, and made sure he was comfortable and eating. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive and capable hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her, especially for pets with extra needs.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”
About: I’ve never owned cats myself, but have cat sitted for many before. Many of my friends and relatives have asked me to watch their cats. I would personally love to own a cat and think I will in the future, my dog would not be so happy.
“Lily did a great job taking care of my fur babies! She sent me pictures with my babies. She sat in the yard and played with them. Gave them lots of love! Also, did a fantastic job keeping the pens and floor clean along with fresh bedding, food and water. I was anxious about having someone else take care of my babies but she eased my anxiety with how good she was with them. My babies were comfortable with her as well which made it even better. Definitely recommend!”
“Jo-Ellen is a great pet sitter, very responsible and caring with love to my cats. I’m sure I’ll ask her services next time. Thanks so much , Jo for your wonderful service..”

“I had such a great experience with Lydianis! She watched my dog overnight and took amazing care of him. She kept me updated the whole time with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She made sure he felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. You can truly tell she cares and goes above and beyond. On top of that, she even helped me find him a new home because of my situation, and she found him the most amazing family. That meant everything to me. She doesn’t treat pets like “just dogs” she treats them with real love and compassion. I truly trust her with any of my pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“My entire experience with Liceth has been amazing. She made the entire interaction seamless and as smooth as possible in both occasions I used her dog sitting service.

I highly recommend her!”

“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have worked with animals professionally since I was 16 years old and have spent the past three years working in animal shelters as a Behavior Specialist, helping dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments feel comfortable, safe, and successful. In addition to my shelter experience, I have four years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My background in animal behavior allows me to recognize body language, reduce stress, and provide individualized care based on each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, needs extra patience, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I am committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care while you're away. i’m currently working full time and have off on sundays and monday. On the days i work, i work 9-5:30 sometimes getting done earlier on occasion. I currently have a whole separate room to separate cats from my own. I work in animal welfare and know how important sanitization is a well.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.
About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and rabbits, giving me hands-on experience with both small pets and larger companions. My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently handle medication administration, monitor health and behavior changes, and respond calmly in urgent situations. My zoo keeping experiencing also aids in my ability to understand how important enrichment and cleanliness are to your pet's overall happiness. Utilizing knowledge gained from prior puppy and adolescent dog training courses, also helps me with walking, hiking, and in house behaviors. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, hikes, play, and individualized attention to ensure each pet’s needs are met. With a flexible work schedule, I am able to provide in-home care 3 days a week uninterrupted and with a local home location, am able to check in on days in the office as well. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every pet receives reliable, compassionate care as part of my regular routine—not as an afterthought. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My home is equipped with 2 outdoor security cameras as well as a fully fenced in yard. In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an animal lover with a passion for giving pets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, or go for long walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’ve got experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands, I'll treat them like family! I am a teacher who is home for the summer break! Since I am home, I am flexible and can fit to your scheduling needs! At our home, we prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. We have one dog, Obi, and one cat, both of whom are used to having visitors. Obi is always excited to meet new friends and loves playtime, while our cat is more independent and enjoys keeping to herself, but she’s used to having dogs around. When caring for pets in our home, we ensure walks are safe by always leashing our pup, and we use a lead for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks in the backyard. Obi is crated when we leave the house, ensuring he’s safe and secure. He has access to his food bowl throughout the day, allowing him to graze at his own pace. However, we’re happy to accommodate any special feeding routines or requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.
“Khadija was great with my dog Mochi! Mo can be a handful due to reactivity to other dogs, and he's 70lbs of muscle that requires both strong, confident and gentle handling. Khadija handled him with ease, and he really took to her from day 1. He always came home super happy from his walks with her and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Khadija!”

“Tristan was a lifesaver! After another boarder canceled a week before our trip, we were scrambling to find someone to watch our dogs for a week. We haven’t left our dogs for overnight boarding in a few years and were worried about how they’d do…but it looks like they had a blast! Tristan sent pictures and videos of the dogs sleeping and playing throughout the week which put our minds at ease. Our dogs were excited to see us when we picked them up but then slept nearly all day - I take that as a sign that they had fun and wore themselves out :). Thank you Tristan!!”
“Deirdre was great, its clear she loves animals. She is in a nice quiet country setting and we especially liked her fenced in shady backyard so our Westies could play safely. She was very attentive to details and sent us pictures during their overnight stay. We’ve already booked with her for our week long vacation in Aug. We definitely recommend Deirdre!!!”
“We were desperate last minute for someone to watch our dog on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We reached out to Lydianis and her husband Alex on Rover. They were very quick to respond and continued with good communication throughout the entire time they had my dog. They took the time, at a very busy time of year, to meet us on the Sunday before at a local park and introduced their beautiful Lab Chase to us. Seeing how well they handled Chase and how understanding they were of Clementine’s intimidation, really eased our minds of my small dog being around a bigger dog and it showed how compassionate these two fun dog loving people are towards their guest dogs and owners. Prior to Clem's stay, they asked all the right questions about how to care for her and what they could do to help with any anxiety, when to feed her how much, etc., We felt very comfortable with them and liked both of them very much! We will definitely be calling again to have them watch our little fur baby!”
“Jo-Ellen is an outstanding Rover host!! She really went above and beyond to make sure Zoom was comfortable given this was only his second rover stay. I'm grateful for the A+ communication and attention given to Zoom. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic and lots of grassy lawns. Definitely will be leaving Zoom with Jo-Ellen during future travels!”
“We were so happy to have found Anna to watch Jagger for a last minute day trip we went on. She is a caring, kind, & thoughtful person. We could tell Jagger had a great day with Anna. We highly recommend her to take great care of your pet.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Megan was wonderful! She was super accommodating and provided exceptional care for my dog who needed a little time to settle in. I received daily updates, sometimes more, and regular pictures.”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond caring for my dog! She even took the time to read through his full profile to understand his needs and quirks, which meant a lot. I got updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. So grateful for the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”
“What a fantastic experience! We had a little bit of a rocky start after dropping our dog off( by no fault of Thomas) and then it was smooth sailing. Pictures were sent throughout the duration. Would definitely book again!”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter. She sent me pictures and daily updates about Cinnamon, and she took her out on walks and took good care of her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Julie, Caleb and their children made Snickers stay wonderful. They kept me updated with pictures and how Snickers day was going. My husband and I were able to have a great vacation knowing Snickers was getting lots of love and attention! We will definitely use them again!!!”
