About: I've had a variety of pets in my life more often than not. Pets become family members and I want to be your pet's second family! Let me take care of their needs when you need time away on vacation or work prevents you from doing it. I'm willing to help in any way with senior pets and I have the energy to keep pace with your high energy pets. I am finishing my 24th year as a middle school teacher. If I have patience with high energy 5th graders, your pet will be a piece of cake! I am a 5th grade Science and Social Studies teacher. During the school year I am available for early morning check ins and any time after 4 pm. during the week. My weekends are open to fulfill your needs at any time. Between June 1st and August 14th my schedule to help you out is wide open. In your house it is your rules. I will follow whatever guidelines and directions you have for me. At my house, I am willing to crate or not. Whatever your preference. I do have a nice sized yard, but unfortunately it is only fenced in at my pool. I would have to supervise your pet in my yard.

“Emily is the best! She always responds quickly. She takes our dog for a walk, feeds and plays with him. You can tell she really cares for animals! He loves her! We highly recommend Emily!”


About: I have grown up in a “zoo”, never having less than 4 cats, a dog, and 2 birds my entire life. I have been immersed with animals since birth. I currently work full-time, but am hybrid, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week. The weekends are basically always open for me as well. I am comfortable with anything pet related. I have grown up around varying types of cats, dogs, and birds and am willing to do whatever will make your pet most comfortable.

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pet, and absolutely adore cats and dogs especially. I have two ragdolls that I am the main carer for and would do anything for them. Luckily I have a relatively flexible schedule to work with! I’m open to trying to accommodating whatever schedule you and your pet would need from me. I’m more than happy to provide whatever your pets require while I’m caring for them. I would prefer to do a meet and greet so I can ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I also work at Lead your K9 in Orwigsburg as a dog trainers assistant! I am currently doing online school and working part time. My other job is very flexible so I’ll be available any day of the week! If I have a list of what you want me to do, I will 100% follow it. I pay very close attention to detail and I will make sure your dog is well cared for! My dog is on a strict diet and I make sure to follow it no matter what. My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

“Saul is absolutely amazing. He has quickly become one of Levi’s best friends. Anytime he comes over my pup is over the moon. Always cordial, snaps the best moments of Levi and goes the extra mile. While gone Levi has on occasion gotten into my medical journals. Saul goes out of his way to pick up this journal pages. I can’t say enough.”


“You cannot get a BETTER pet sitter! Mike took Lightning on walks and sent me videos on ways to train him to walk better and stay calmer. He sent lots of pictures and gave feedback about how he was progressing. My dog is already better behaved after just a few days with Mike! Mike also even cleaned up after Lightning as well as my other dog which he wasn’t even being paid to look after. Reliable, friendly, professional, and obviously really enjoys his job. He talks to your pets like they’re human. Amazing.”


About: I spent my youth training to be a vet and fostering dogs. I learned a lot at vet school, namely that I couldn't ever deliver the final act of compassion. So, I turned my attention to my true passion - caring for dogs! I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and I love it. Every new dog that I meet reminds me how much I love dogs. I am flexible to the needs of every dog I care for and will make their experience with me as similar to their home life as possible. I have two dogs of my own, but they LOVE meeting new dogs to play with. If your dog is not as keen to new friendships, I can separate them all with ease. I have only one hard line, I need to meet you and your dog before the stay. I have learned that it is the best way to ensure your dog's comfort in their stay. I did not always adhere to this and I have seen some very stressed out fur babies. I want your fur pups happy and healthy as much as you do! Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so, I will be with your dogs all day. If we have any grocery trips or daycare drop offs, they will be crated for those brief periods. We keep our dog-less activities to a minimum during pet stays. We have no fence and our dogs run off-leash. With your dogs, I will walk them leashed because dogs (like children) test boundaries. We also go to creeks and hikes very often, and your dogs will join us leashed (if you approve).

About: Hi, Now booking for the holidays! Caring for furry family is my full-time work! Your pet(s) are my number one priority. I personally carry general liability insurance and Care, Custody, and Control insurance, in addition to "Rover's guarantee". This sets us apart from many other service providers on this platform. I always respond quickly! If you're looking for a sitter who's reliable, caring, responsible, and friendly and who will give your pet all the love and care they need, send me a message! I'm a stay-at-home caretaker with a love for animals. My husband grew up on a dairy farm outside Kutztown. We have always been dog owners and love the energy they bring to our lives. We have two labs, one chocolate and one black. They are well-socialized with other animals. We live in a house on an acre with a fenced-in yard. We always play outside and walk around the neighborhood if the weather allows. I offer boarding, doggy daycare, check-ins, and dog-walking services. We have a lake just down the road, where the dogs can enjoy quiet walking time and play in the water. Please be sure your dogs are protected against ticks. I prefer to hold meet-and-greets on neutral territory at the Upper Macungie dog park on Route 100, across from Weis. I'm looking forward to caring for your furry family member! Be aware and keep in mind that a request for service that is not booked counts against the Rover sitter. If you message me for services shown as available on my calendar, I am available and will happily care for your furry family! I've been a stay-at-home mother for the last 13 years. Carrying for our home, children, garden, and animals is what gets me out of bed every morning! I'd love to invite your furry family member(s) into our home. We have an electric dog fence. We play with the dogs in the backyard on leashes unless your furry family is fully trained to obey "sit", "stay", "come" , and "leave it" commands.

About: Growing up, we have always had cats in the house. I know how to cater to all of their needs, as well as just hanging out and playing with them. We have had kittens all the way to senior cats. My grandparents have always been dog owners. I would spend weekends with their dogs while they were away, and love all animals. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have tons of time to spend time with your pets! I am looking to make some money for a study abroad trip, and will be available most of the week at all times for service! For my cats, I am willing to do anything to make them comfortable and happy in my home. I change their litter, play with them, and just hangout with them. When it comes to dogs, while I have not had one of my own, I love all animals and I want them to be happy, especially while their parents are away. I will provide excellent care to any pet in any home! Because of our cats, I cannot bring any client's pets into my home, but I can travel to your home.

About: I've had animals all of my life. From horses, to chickens, dogs and cats. I take care of my 6 cats at home, and two cats on my college campus! I absolutely adore animals, and making sure they get nothing but the best care. I am currently in college, but I will be as flexible as possible! Communication is my top priority, and I will make sure your pet is well taken care of! I am living on campus, so I don't offer boarding, but I will stop by your home to check on and feed your fur baby!

About: Aside from caring for my own dogs, I have experience with caring for multiple dogs of all sizes. Regular clients are Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds. Activities include dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, basic training commands, managing multiple dogs at once, and tons of playtime and affection. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I enjoy spending time outside for fresh air and walks as much as dogs! I regularly walk dogs with different types of abilities and training. Some are trained with a harness, a lead or a regular collar. I will ensure we are walking at a comfortable pace and will even jog if they need to get more exercise. I will also ensure the safety of your pets regarding environmental conditions and social situations.

About: I am a friendly and enthusiastic person! I have quite a bit of experience working with animals. I have done basic grooming, walking, and sitting for dogs and cats since I’ve been a teen. I have had cared for several pets of mine own including dogs, cats, potbelly pig, some rodents, and tortoises. My goal is to provide exceptional care to animals and ease animals’ anxieties as well as yours. I am focused on building strong relationships with customers and pets alike while delivering quality care. I currently have two jobs but schedule is relatively flexible and I typically have off Wednesdays and Thursdays which is when majority of my appointments would be scheduled. My pets are in a loving and nurturing home. They are allowed to free roam throughout the house and have access to outside but a monitored. They are fed and taken potty routinely.

About: I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, I adore my dogs and cats more than I could even explain and I love to meet new ones. Most of my experience is with big dogs, but small dogs are adorable and I would love to spend time with yours! My family and I have an inside joke that I’m the “animal whisperer”, because they all seem to love me the moment they meet me. I can feed, walk, brush, bathe, and help out with your animals however you need. I currently own a dog and 7 cats! My baby is named Ninja and is the sweetest kitty I’ve ever owned. Thank you for considering me to take care of your pets :) I am a full time college student, but I would be happy to come take care of your pets after my classes and work on my schoolwork with them! I am very patient with animals as well as cautious when I need to be. I’m good at reading the body language of animals too see what they need from me, whether it be attention, space, help, etc.
