“Dina was very nice and made sure to send plenty of pictures, videos and descriptions about each of her visits with Willow. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Katrina was amazing! Both of our cats were well taken care of. This was the youngest cat’s first time being alone overnight, let alone a week of just drop-ins. It was awesome to get pictures of him playing and being snuggled ❤️ Katrina was timely and communicative, with many pictures for us to enjoy morning and night! Definitely will be using her again in the future 👍🏻”
“Trustable, dependable, friendly, competent, compassionate, knowledgeable. Zania is everything one would want in a pet sitter. My babies were loved and didn’t even notice that I was gone!”
“Katie did an excellent job checking in on my girl, playing with her, giving her lots of scratches and pets, sending me loving pics ❤, and taking care of her needs. Puddy was a happy 😾. I was a happy. I would recommend Katie 100%.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was young and have always loved being around them. I’ve also spent some time fostering kittens and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure animals feel safe and well cared for. Since I currently attend school from home, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to care for pets. This allows me to give animals the attention they deserve, whether that’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care. I’m patient and attentive with animals and make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and exercise. I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and keep pets comfortable while you’re away.
“Jaden was great with our 1 year old lab. Lola is very energetic and when I got him from work she was fast asleep on the couch after a mile long walk. Jaden sent updates and has been very flexible with our schedule.”
About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals.

Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
About: I have been a pet sitter for over 3 years for my friends and family! I love to interact with all kinds of animals and try my best to be attentive to their needs. I also was a caregiver for the elderly and enjoy serving others and seeing people smile. Fun fact about me is that I was a Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader and performed in the 2018 Superbowl with the team. GO BIRDS AND GO PETS!! I am currently working part time and have availability Wednesday through Monday afternoon for boarding. I am someone who is reliable and can work around other schedules. In my client's home, I try to care for them by feeding them and taking them for walks. Sometimes I even like to sing to the pets I sit for and give them lots of attention and snuggles!
About: I’ve dog sat many times over the past few summers. I’ve stayed at the families’ homes and took care of their dogs for a week. One of which was a puppy, and one who was much older with a medication routine. Growing up I have always had dogs and have lots of experience. I am a college student, so I do have classes to get to, but they are small blocks of time once a day and I am off Fridays as I also take online classes. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and know the responsibility it takes to care for them. I am very caring and attentive as I naturally am an animal lover. I am more than willing to walks multiple times a day and care as they need.
“After a horrible first experience with a Rover sitter, Kyleigh is a breath of needed fresh air. She has a great energy and took excellent care of my cats. I was able to enjoy my cousin’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. I genuinely look forward to hopefully booking with her again for my next vacation this summer.”
“Rachel is great with our pets, prompt and friendly with communication, and overall a sitter I would highly recommend!! She always allows us to enjoy our trips knowing that there is someone trustworthy checking in on the cats.”
About: Animals are my passion. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs/cats of different ages and sizes. Through my years of experience, it’s easier to coax the most timid of animals into being my buddy. I like to learned and study what each animal needs or wants! So they are the most comfortable with me and on walks. I currently work super early in the day. I can check on animals midday through the afternoon and night. I’m free most weekends so any overnight stays would be fine with me. I would traditionally prefer animals to be in their own home. I know it can be stressful enough for an owner to leave their animals so I’d like for them to be the most comfortable in their own home.
“WOW Jordan Thank you so much for watching over my pet while I was away on vacation! I’m so grateful caring per caretakers like you exist in the world & I will not only be rebooking you in the future, but I Highly Recommend you to anyone looking for a attentive, loving sitter ☺️ 12/10 !!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over ten years. I have earned the trust of repeat clients and the love of dogs AND cats. I take my job very seriously; I know what a privilege it is to come into someone’s home and to be responsible for a family member. I am a self employed artist who can take my work anywhere. My time is not restricted and therefore walking, meal times and potty breaks are not a problem to maintain. My availability in general is optimal for long stays or last minute bookings. I am extremely respectful of my clients’ homes and adhere strictly to their instructions. I treat the environment as a place of employment; and I aim to leave the home clean, neat and as the clients left it.
“Kathy was great with our 3 cats! She was super flexible when we needed an extra visit added because our trip changed timing. We came back from our long weekend away and the cats were content and safe. Thanks so much!!!”
“Kaila took great care of our cat while we were away. She told us everything we needed to know. She took the time to get to know our cat, his personality and what he likes/dislikes. I felt comfortable knowing she was there to care for him while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: For my senior year of high school I went to a trade school to get my vet assistant certification. I graduated and received my certificate. In the program I was taught basic grooming nails, ears, and even shaving. Everyday we would walk the classroom dogs and interact with them. After high school I worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months before I ended up without a car and wasn’t able to drive the distance to work anymore. Looking for something to do on the side as I work a full time job but never wanted to give up working with animals as it’s my passion. I have a almost year old Pitsky puppy (pitbull/husky) named Dior. He is my such a sweetheart and loves to be around other dogs as well. Over the years I have watched my coworkers dogs, my uncles dog when he got fixed and had to wear a cone during the day so my uncle wasn’t able to watch him since he had to work, etc. I can’t wait to meet and interact with your furry friends and give them a special place in my heart as well💕 I work full time during the week but I always have evenings available to drop ins or walks. Days I am fully available would be Sunday and occasional Mondays as I now babysit as well. Weekends vary but I’m willing to be flexible. I have a nice area that I walk my dog to, to go to the bathroom and there’s also a development I walk through on nicer days, I have an extra bedroom for a crate if your dog needs to bring theirs

Akron cat parents share their Rover experiences
We’ve worked with Brian a handful of times over the past three years, and I still can’t reccomend him enough! He’s been the most thoughtful and detail oriented cat sitter we’ve ever experienced. We moved this year and completely changed our set up, and Brian was quick to adjust and continue to provide too if the line care to both of our cats. Knowing he’s checking on them puts us at such ease when we travel out of state, I feel like I never have to worry about the quality of their care.
