“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! It was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old pup and Michael and Melanie completely exceeded expectations. Walks, hikes, pictures, and so much love! They truly made our pup apart of their family. We couldn’t thank them enough. Also want to mention their sweet, patient lab Mojo for being so good to our pup. If you’re looking for the best care for your pup, look no further!”
“Benny is now part of Mariah’s “extended family”! He goes right in the house and leaves with a smile! It means a lot as a dog owner to be able to feel no stress when I drop Benny off to go on my work trips! THANKS MARIAH & FAMILY!😊🦮”
“They did an amazing Job ranking care of my dog Luna! They were super responsive and proactive. I can tell my dog had a great time and would definitely trust them again with her! Thank you so so much! ❤️”
“Georgette had another great experience with Tess and Curt. She played hard and fell asleep in the car on the three minute drive home. I appreciated the updates throughout the day.”
“Fantastic dog sitter. I got lots of pictures and I know my dogs were loved during their stay. I highly recommend Michelle and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“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!”

“Katie did an amazing job with my pup! My dog is a little nervous when separated, but Katie made her feel right at home. Will be booking again with Katie for sure!!”
“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.”
“Haley was able to accommodate a last minute one night booking for us, which was extremely helpful! She did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats and had great communication!”
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“Jodi and Bruce treated our fur baby like one of the family, exactly what we were hoping for in finding a home away from home for her. She looks forward to a return stay, and we'll be confident leaving her in their care.”
“I had a last minute booking with Brooke. She was so kind and flexible with our arrangement as I was traveling from out of town. Great communication. My pup was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend. If I pass this way again I would do another booking with her.”
“Very nice and treated my dog great. She was great with following instruction of my dogs daily routine and updated me throughout the day with photos and how my dog was doing. She has a fenced in yard which was great!!”
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!
“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!”

“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!”

“Jana did a great job with looking after our cat, Sook. She was very accommodating with our cat, who suddenly and unexpectedly became unwell. She very kindly looked after him and cleaned up after him, and even came in for an extra visit on short notice when we were really concerned. She gave us lots of updates and pictures and became a real friend to our cat, it seems like he has truly bonded with her. We can’t thank Jana enough for her love and care for our cat!!!!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Tess and Curt have been amazing to work with. As a travel nurse with an anxious pup, they have put us both at ease by being consistent and supportive. They always vet other dogs they are working with to make sure they will get along and be safe. I appreciate their diligence.”
“Michelle was so flexible with us. We had a tight schedule which led to delays - both during drop-off and pick-up. She was very understanding and accommodating! She also treated our little doggo well but keeping him in his comfort zone (away from other dogs).”
“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! :)”
“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! 🤣😂”
About: I have watched dogs both at my home and at owners homes since I was 15. I love dogs and being able to provide care for them makes me very happy. I promise to take good care of every dog and tend to their every need I only leave my apartment for class which is an hour at a time. Other then that, I am home and will be with the dog at all times My apartment is very large with plenty of room for any size dog to roam around. It also has a huge back yard for them to play!
“Katie provided regular updates and pictures of Winnie. Winnie seemed to have enjoyed her stay and we will definitely consider her again, and will pass the word to our friends and family.”
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: As a dog owner since a little girl, I understand the love and connection between their dog and owner. I understand that owners want the best for their pets and I am willing to be that trustworthy person! Very flexible and willing to work with busy schedules! I work from 9-5 but work close from home and am free most weekends to be fully attentive to your pets as well as my own. I have a back porch and a safe environment to walk dogs. Parks are close by and I have a dog myself who can keep others company and make them feel more comfortable.
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.
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.
About: With 20 years of dog sitting experience, I have a lifelong passion for caring for dogs of all ages. I started dog sitting when I was 14 and have since provided overnight and drop-in services. Having grown up with dogs, I've helped train four puppies and nannied for a family with a senior dog for four years. My experience includes administering medication and catering to the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I am dedicated to offering reliable, compassionate, and professional care for your furry friends. I have 2 boys under the age of 5 so we have a louder, high energy house! I work remotely part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility each day to provide dedicated care, attention, and companionship for your furry friend. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety and well-being. Dogs are always taken out on a leash to ensure their safety. 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.
“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”
“Ryan is great. He is responsive and takes good care of Leo. Ryan's puppy, Charlie, and Leo have become friends. Leo is looking forward to future visits with Ryan and Charlie.”

About: My family has always had dogs and cats, the first dog was a pug/beagle cross, then a boxer/rottweiler cross, then two purebred border collies and a cocker spaniel. The cats were just your avarage barn cat but they were fat, sleek, healthy, and very well loved and taken care of. I grew up playing fetch and hide and seek with the dogs and sneaking the cats inside the house whenever I had the chance. We raised a few litters of border collie puppies and also a few litters of cocker spaniel puppies so I definitely have experience taking care of puppies.

About: Work from home, so have the time to dedicate to the care of your pet. Also have a large yard with electronic fencing, can pamper your pets as much as allowed. I work from home so can pet sit and ensure the pets are well taken care of. Experienced in several areas of pet care, not to worry about your baby being well taken care of. :D Can provide pet care daily or overnight stays, not a problem. Have a yard and quiet neighborhood to take walks and pay in the yard. Well taken care of for the day or night!
“Ryan and family were wonderful with our 5-year-old labrador retriever. Sasha was well taken care of, and she had plenty of play time with the pups of the house. Recommend highly.”
“Katie did an amazing job with my pup! My dog is a little nervous when separated, but Katie made her feel right at home. Will be booking again with Katie for sure!!”
“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.”
“Haley was able to accommodate a last minute one night booking for us, which was extremely helpful! She did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats and had great communication!”
About: I grew up taking care of pets for neighbors and family, and have had many of my own. At home now, I have our dog Kona and a bearded dragon named Norbert, plus two kids. I'm comfortable with caring for all dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'd love to send you photos and updates if you would like so you know how things are going while you are away. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm home most of the day, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I absolutely love taking walks so we will be doing plenty of those. If your pet needs a specific feeding or potty schedule, just let me know and I'll stick to it. Our yard isn't fenced, so your dog will go out on leash for walks and potty breaks several times a day. My Dog is super friendly and always up for a new friend. If your pup prefers quiet time or needs a crate to decompress, I can absolutely make that happen as well. I will go over your dogs preferences when I get a chance to talk with you. I'm more than happy to make accommodations to fit your pets needs.
“I had a last minute booking with Brooke. She was so kind and flexible with our arrangement as I was traveling from out of town. Great communication. My pup was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend. If I pass this way again I would do another booking with 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!
About: I provide personalized care, puppy training reinforcement and senior dog support. I follow each dogs routine, offer plenty of attention and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I work part-time and am available after 2:30 pm Monday through Thursday. I am available all day Friday through Sunday. I can provide playtime and love during my free time. I have a fenced-in dog run and three dogs of my own. For safety and comfort, all dogs are crated at night and when I am out.
“Diesel had a great getting to play with David's two Shepards and a Burmese Mountain dog. He was very easy to communicate with and took awesome care of my pup. Will definitely use again in the future.”
