Simone and Kenya take such good care of Smokey and always make sure he’s comfortable and happy. I feel completely at ease leaving him with them whenever I’m traveling. They’re trustworthy, caring, and genuinely treat him like their own. I’m very grateful for all the love and attention they give him.

Rillan was a super carer for our dog. She gave great directions to her place (which might have been a little tricky to find) and sent several pictures of our pet throughout her stay. This was our first time using Rover, so we felt a little unsure, but everything went well. Thanks, Rillan!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.

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!

About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood. I have gained extensive experience of dogs throughout my unique time as a dog handler. Through dog showing I've learned about dogs basic necessities, grooming, and diverse behaviors. This opened many doors for me to be a trust worthy dog and cat sitter for strangers, friends, and family! As a full-time college student, pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as a refreshing, rewarding break from my studies.My routine allows me to offer highly predictable and dedicated care:Monday through Thursday: I am in class during the mornings but am completely free for afternoon dog walks, feeding, and drop-in visits anytime after 2:00 PM.Friday through Sunday: I balance a part-time job, but I have structural breaks built into my weekend schedule that allow me to check in on pets, stretch their legs, and give them plenty of love and attention.Because I manage a structured schedule, I am incredibly organized, punctual, and communicative. Taking care of your pets isn't just a job for me—it is my favorite way to stay active and unwind, and I will treat your furry family members with the exact same care and respect that I give to my own education and commitments. For stay in’s I will be in the client's home, keeping the pet's routine as normal as possible. Responsibilities include feeding and watering, walking, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing companionship. I also maintain the home by collecting mail, watering plants, and managing security.

Otherwise I am available to care for your pets in your home. This would include, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, meals, bathing if needed and of course lots of snuggles!

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs.

I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

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! 🐾

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!

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.

About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life but in specific, I have house sat and stayed in with pets for weeks while their owners are on vacations or away. I love taking care of animals! I have struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life and one HUGE help is animals. I don’t care if it’s a cat, dog, guinea pig, bunny, whatever it is, I love them all. I am an autism mama to a sweet little boy. 🧩I have 2 cats, Kinley and Bunny! We have a very large dog, exceeding 100 pounds, named Jackson who we adopted from the Clearfield county SPCA in May, 2022! I have lost pets and I hold seniors, in specific, close to my heart. Please give me the chance to hangout with your pets, of any age. ❤️ If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I am currently tending to my son with special needs. He has school Tuesday through Fridays, so I am available in the mornings on those days! I prefer to go to the clients home! We don’t have a fence at our house and I do not feel comfortable to have a dog here without a fence! I would never want to put anyone’s loved ones in danger.

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!!

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!

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!

About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.

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.
