“Jordan was amazing! She took both my dogs super last minute, and was communicative throughout the day. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I am so appreciative that she was willing to help me out at a moment’s notice.”
About: We’re an empty nest couple with no children or other pets in the home. We recently lost our beloved dog and while we’re enjoying the freedom of not having a pet, we still love caring for furry friends! Our home has a fully fenced yard and we’re ready to provide a safe, loving environment for your dog while you’re away! We own a business and operate out of our home so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention, feedings and potty breaks throughout the day. We provide attentive, loving care for your pet. Dogs are let out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air. Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!
“Angelita was super friendly, energetic, positive, and welcoming this week. Our dogs were happy to get to her place and begin exploring every morning. Thank you, Angelita, for five great days!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Heather was most incredible Sitter for my pup Maggie Mae. Maggie truly enjoyed her time with Heather. Heather made her feel right at home. Thanks Heather will see you again.”

“Dakota was wonderful for my golden retriever who struggles with some separation anxiety. Dakota was great to send updates and photos throughout the day! She was comforting and knew how to handle my pup!”

“Mai was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue and took great care of her while we were in town for our daughter’s college graduation. She has a beautiful space for pups and is so kind. Highly recommend Mai!!!”


About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.

Akron dog parents share their Rover experiences
When Riley came to Katrina’s door, he was eager to go inside. We haven’t seen that behavior from him before. It was encouraging. This was our second time to leave our almost 14 year old pup and we are just as delighted with Katrina’s care this time as last. Riley was very relaxed and obvious he had been well cared for. We highly recommend Katrina and are grateful for her kindness!

Oh boy, Daniel was an amazing choice to care for our baby Finnegan. He was so kind and communicative on every level. We went to the Lancaster area as a day trip and from the initial contact, Daniel was thoughtful…..it was raining when we arrived and he graciously opened his garage so we could drop Finn off in a dry environment. He treated Finn so well, walked him, spent time with him and sent numerous pictures. Finn must have had a great time because he was exhausted and sleep all the way home. Thank you so much for everything. Hope to see you again, would highly recommend!
