“Fantastic dog sitter! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Tess and Curt are amazing with caring for dogs. They have a large wooded and fenced yard which is perfect for dogs to run around all day and know they will not get out and wander free. They sent updates daily, sometimes multiple times daily. Freyja seemed to be at ease and very comfortable with her temporary surroundings and company. I had no worry about the care of my dog. 100% recommend and will use them again upon their availability and my schedule.”
“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!”
“Rillan was great with my dog. She is so kind and patient and knows how to handle unexpected situations. She also responds in a very timely manner and is very helpful! Absolutely recommend her.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Bentley thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Derya as always!! He got to play with other dogs and I had no doubts that he was very well taken care of in my absence!! Derya and Shenai are our first and only choice!!”
“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.”
“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 have two dogs, a cat and a bunny. My additional kids. I watch my family's pets when they travel. My back patio and some yard area is fenced in so I can securely watch your pet. I work full time from home. Would be able to provide regular bathroom breaks, snuggles and attention throughout the day. Could do walks at lunch or after work hours. All pups would be treated like my own with lots of love, snuggles and care. Dogs are welcome on furniture. I would do my best to make them feel comfortable.
“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.”

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.

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.
“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.”
“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!”

“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: Hello! I'm Leigh Ann, and I would love to be your pet sitter. I am reliable and attentive with your furry family members. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets comfortable in their own homes while you're away. I understand it is important to keep a pets routine, and I want to do what's best for the pet. I make it my priority to provide consistent care and a stress-free environment. I have about 7 years of pet/house sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. This has included, but not limited to, feeding, walking, administering basic medications and plenty of affection and playtime. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, or more relaxed and shy, I will adapt to their own personality and needs. My own 2 dogs have their own distinct personalities. My male is playful and outgoing, meanwhile my female is more of a clingy needs in you personal space shy kind. I love them both. When house sitting, I treat your home with the the same respect I would my own. I keep spaces clean, secure and organized. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in the mail, pick up any packages, and keep everything running smoothly while you're away. In previous years I have even helped owners with their house when our area experienced prolonged power outages. While you are away, you can expect regular updates, photos and quick communication so you always know your pets are happy and safe. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I will help with any overnights that need taken care of. I have recently been working from home, so anytime you need someone I can be your go to person.

“Jana does a great job and we will continue to utilize her for our pet sitting needs! She is a great communicator and her messages always make me laugh. I can’t compliment her professionalism and consistency enough.”
About: I have plenty of experience working with cats in my vet experience, but I’ve also fostered cats and housesat cats for both my brother and family friend. I’ve grown to appreciate their need for mutual respect. I understand the importance of a clean litter box, not just from the stink perspective!! Seeing so many patients that don’t utilize the litter box properly due to a poor location, poor upkeep, overcrowding, and more, has made me hyper aware of the due diligence needed to keep them comfortable. I’m also happy to administer medications if need be.
“Once again Samantha was great and I was thankful I was able to book her somewhat last minute! She made sure my cat got all of her medicine, which is not always an easy task, and went above and beyond by bringing in mail/ packages and watering some of my plants (which I did not ask her to do).”
“Couldn’t recommend Bailee highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with a couple extra things I needed help with as well which was nice She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you’re looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) I’d definitely recommend Bailee.”
“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 !!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have cared for many friends’ and family members’ cats over the years. I have two cats of my own, one of whom has medical needs, so I’m experienced with administering both injections and oral medications. I’d be happy to care for your kitties while you’re away, making sure they’re fed and well cared for, but also spending time with them and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to take care of litter boxes and any other cat-related needs to help keep your kitties happy and comfortable!
“I was so nervous leaving my baby for vacation and Madison did an amazing job keeping my mind at ease. She visited the same time every day and had great communication with me and sent me pictures. It's nice to know I have someone I can rely on for the future.”
About: I’ve care for several cats while growing up, across different household and am diligent when it came to litter box cleanings and medication administering, I’ve been scratched and bit up to the face but the love is always the same!
About: Living with cats most of my life, I have a fondness for the many demeanors and personalities they each bring! Being chosen by a cat is the greatest gift of all, but I’m happy even if just being tolerated by yours until their favorite human comes back home! I’m perfectly content hanging out in the couch with them or harnessing them up for an outside stroll. Whichever your fur baby desires!

“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 needed a place for our dog to stay for the day while we attended a university event, and Rillan took wonderful care of him. Our dog had a happy and enjoyable day with her. Thank you so much for your kindness and great care.”
“Denika was a wonderful dog sitter! Very communicative with photos, videos and texts! She was very helpful with time flexibility since our travel times were estimated for our child’s move in day at Penn St. We will be scheduling her help again when we are back in town!!”
“Kobi had a great day with a wonderful sitter and family! He loved his experience and we felt 100% comfortable. Katie is great and we look forward to more bookings.”
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: As a dog owner, I understand the patience and consistency some dogs need. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and will always follow their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work part-time with flexible hours, primarily in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I can also accommodate many evening and weekend care requests. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. I'll follow your care instructions, stick to their routine, and provide a safe and caring environment so your furry friend are secure and happy!
“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!”

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.
“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.”
“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.”

About: I am a 20-year-old animal lover currently attending Penn State and looking to build a base of regular pet-sitting clients! I have over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I would love to become a trusted, familiar sitter for local families and their pets! 🐾 As a Penn State World Campus student living on campus, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I also have my own car, making it easy for me to travel to nearby homes for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. My flexible class schedule allows me to work around each pet’s individual needs, whether that means morning visits, midday check-ins, evening care, or regular walks. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to create a schedule that works best for them and their pets! 🐾 I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.
About: I’m a Penn State student, formerly an Animal Science major and now a third-year studying Psychology. I previously volunteered at PAW Pets Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and interacting with dogs of different temperaments and needs. I’m very patient when it comes to pet care, and I enjoy teaching and guiding pets step by step so they can feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I also have a toy poodle back home, so I understand the responsibility and attention that goes into caring for a dog every day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a Penn State student, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with pets in the afternoon, taking them on walks in the evening and every morning, and making sure they get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I truly love spending time with animals and try to make the most of every moment I have with them. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to move around. My home has three floors, giving pets room to walk, explore, and stay active throughout the day. I also make sure they have a quiet bedroom space where they can rest comfortably. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.
About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I am well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on so I can handle anything your pets have to offer. I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life from dogs to cats to rabbits and many more. I loved taking my dog for walks, but sadly she has passed away so I would love to walk your dog. I also love cats, I had one cat a few years back, but my parents won’t let me get another one so if you have a cat I would give it and / or your dog all types of love. I love any type of dog or cats or any other animal! I currently work full time at Penn State from 5am to 1:30pm. I would gladly care for your pets over nights, do drop-in visits or walks! I will do whatever is necessary to make sure you and your animals feel safe and comfortable while you are gone and I will send pictures whenever you ask!

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kevin was great!!! This was our first time using Rover and Kevin was so accommodating and he just loved our dog. It was great feeling like we were leaving our little guy with someone that was so happy to have him and play with him.”
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: 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.
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.
“Micaela was phenomenal!! Her experience really shines through. She was flexible and provided us with multiple updates and adorable photos. She treated our pup like a prince, going above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We are really looking forward to more visits with her!”
