Highly-rated overnight sitters - Stormstown
“Had a great experience with Kenya and Simone, and it was clear that our dog was much more relaxed than in a traditional kennel. I appreciated Kenya meeting with us beforehand, since it was my first time using Rover. And great to receive pics of activities during the stay--including watching the World Cup together. :) Very prompt communication, both before and during the stay. Would definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“My dog loved his stay with Derya! Derya was great at sending us updates and pictures/videos of our dog daily. My dog was well cared for and very happy by the time we picked him up. I am glad to have found such a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Katie is an incredibly thoughtful caretaker. From the time we dropped our goldendoodle off, we felt completely at ease (as did our goldendoodle). Her calm and relational demeanor, coupled with her demonstrated experience and sensitivity to our dog's specific needs made for an incredibly care-free time away for us; we knew that our dog was literally in the best hands.”
“Aeriel was amazing! Our energetic lab, Birdie, loved spending a long weekend with Aeriel, her family, and her dog. Aeriel sent some photos and updates and we will definitely have Birdie stay there again. Highly recommend!!!!”
“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.”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Denika kindly accommodated a last minute holiday request. She was attentive and kind, and she sent lots of updates, including videos. I’m so grateful for the care she provided to Gus!”
“Jodi was wonderful! Took great care of our two puppers over a long weekend. Sent daily photos, kept in close communication with us through the weekend, and was super accommodating and flexible schedule wise. Highly recommend!! Thanks so much, Jodi!!”
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!
“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 been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies!! She communicated with me about how they were doing, and she was so patient with our Willow adjusting to being away from us. She asked all the right questions, and treated our pups like they were her own. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

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.

I'm also happy to water plants, bring in the mail, pick up any packages, and keep everything running smoothly while you're away.

“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”
“Christa did a great job with my two cats. She is highly knowledgeable, experienced and professional. She asked all the right questions during our pre-visit and that really put me at ease. During the actual visit, she sent lots of photos and the cats were clearly very happy to see her. She did everything I asked, and I felt much better about my trip knowing someone was there to check in on the kitties. Will book again!”
“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.”
“Ruth was great with my two cats. She stopped in twice a day and made sure they were fed and content. It was really nice getting updates and pics each time she visited. The updates made me feel at ease while away, knowing they were being taken care of. It was greatly appreciated. I know Nala and Chloe were glad to see her each day. I definitely recommend and would use Ruth again.”
“Samantha was great! She dropped in at appropriate times and let me know how my cat did taking her medicine. She also spent some time sitting with my cat and sent a few pictures in the updates. I would book with Samantha again!”
“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!!!!”
“Tara was great in looking after my cat. Very respectful and reliable. Tara clearly spent time with her. Usually the cat gives me a bit of a cold shoulder upon return, but not this time!”
“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 helped to take care of our family cat for the 14 years he was with us and I now take care of my own two cats, Bo and Diego who are both about 3 years old. Some of the tasks I do regularly and semi regularly for them are scooping their litter box daily, refreshing their water daily, clipping their nails, cleaning their ears, administering medication when needed, deep cleaning their litter boxes, and of course playing with them and giving them lots of love! I am a big believer of cats needing just as much love and attention as dogs. Most cats are much more social than we give them credit for so I try my best to make sure I am spending ample time with them. Besides my own cats, I have feed friends cats and played with them and given them attention when they are out of town.
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stormstown
“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.”
“I cant say enough about Simone & Kenya. We were in a bind and they were able to help us with very short notice. They sent pictures throughout the day which gave us great comfort that our puppy was being well cared for. He was so very happy when we picked him up. I know he would like to visit again.”
“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!”
“My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Katie’s house is the only sitter house he’s excited to visit! He can’t wait to be there. I would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
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!
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.
“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 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.

Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
“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: Growing up my family had a miniature schnauzer and we were lucky enough to have her in our lives for 18 years! I would walk her every day, administer tick and flea medicine, teach her tricks, make eating her food fun as she got older, took her to the groomer, and of course gave her lots of attention and playtime. I've also walked a handful of my friends' dogs before either just around the block or for a few miles depending on much exercise they need. I'm also familiar with drop in visits to feed dogs dinner or let them out to run around in the yard. Right now I work part time so I have some availability during the work week, as well as the weekends. I'd be happy to come walk your dog before work, let your dog out (and or walk them) around lunch time, feed your dog or cat breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as just spending time playing with your pets and making sure they are getting the attention they need when you are away. When I am in your home I will be diligent to make sure I am providing your pet the care that you have asked for.

About: I’m a Penn State student, formerly an Animal Science major and now a third-year studying Psychology.

My goal is to create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.

We also adopt a lot of senior dogs so I’m very confident in senior care. Can’t wait to spoil your pet! I currently work part time at Plato’s Closet State College where I am a seasonal supervisor. I either work 9-5 or 1-9 but my schedule depends week to week. Reach out and we’ll figure that schedule out! Safety is very important to me. I always will monitor animals when they are outside and make sure to use proper harnesses for walks. I do not offer pets to stay in my home. When I’m home from the summer we have a very full house of animals already!
About: I love take walks, so walking you pet(s) would not be an issue. I also love interacting and be being there for them as well. I find that being there and understanding their queues and their needs is a very big thing. I would be able to look after your pet(s) after 8a.m and before 2p.m. This would be during the week day and sometimes the weekends as well. This varies by what eat pet(s) would need, but I know for my dogs wiping them after they walk is a big thing. I would also abide to any rules or regulations they would need and also treat them as my own as well.
About: I've had 2 dogs, and I had a wonderful list of clients in Vermont. They were friends or became friends. Your dog is my love. I am retired. My daily schedule is fairly flexible right now except for a morning class at the Y. This is my only part-time job. I follow all of your expectations, and I will spend a lot of time cuddling and playing. I also talk a lot to your pets!
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!

“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!”
“My dog loved his stay with Derya! Derya was great at sending us updates and pictures/videos of our dog daily. My dog was well cared for and very happy by the time we picked him up. I am glad to have found such a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Katie is an incredibly thoughtful caretaker. From the time we dropped our goldendoodle off, we felt completely at ease (as did our goldendoodle). Her calm and relational demeanor, coupled with her demonstrated experience and sensitivity to our dog's specific needs made for an incredibly care-free time away for us; we knew that our dog was literally in the best hands.”
“Aeriel was amazing! Our energetic lab, Birdie, loved spending a long weekend with Aeriel, her family, and her dog. Aeriel sent some photos and updates and we will definitely have Birdie stay there again. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“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’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've been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra patience, or a pet that simply enjoys companionship, I provide dependable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I own a marketing agency and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a natural fit. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive lots of love, attention, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies!! She communicated with me about how they were doing, and she was so patient with our Willow adjusting to being away from us. She asked all the right questions, and treated our pups like they were her own. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“Our lab loved Kevin & we will definitely book with him again. Our dog is an energetic rescue & doesn't like to be alone. Kevin was able to accommodate & was very attentive; he played with him outside in his yard, took him to the dog park & took him along in the car. Plus all the items I took were returned clean & organized!”
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.
