“Kathleen is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs:) We usually travel with our dogs, but because we were going to Italy we used Kathleen. She sent us texts, pictures and video daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs. They had an amazing vacation themselves! She took them for daily walks, cuddled and played with them just as we would have. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our babies! I highly recommend her for all of your fur babies! We will definitely be calling Kathleen for our next trip:)”
“Really appreciative of Richard for doing such a great job watching my dog Oscar while I was away. Richard was pleasant, his dogs were very friendly, and his home seemed like a great and safe environment for Oscar. Richard was kind enough to book with me right at the last minute and sent me photos and videos to update me during my trip. Definitely would recommend Richard to anyone looking to board their dog.”
“I am so happy we found Victoria! We just welcomed a new puppy and needed to focus on her for a few days, and we left our oldest dog, Koda, with her, certain that he would have a great time and be very well taken care of, as always. Koda is a shy dog around people he doesn't know, but he quickly felt comfortable with her and even wagged his tail to her! He never does that to anyone but us! The communication with her is also great, she sends videos and pictures with updates everyday. I have a hard time trusting people with my baby, but I feel at ease leaving him there. Thank you for everything you do, Victoria! :)”
“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”
“Nelia and her family took such good care of my dog. She was excellent with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. Nash seemed to really enjoy his time with them. I would definitely recommended Nelia and hope to be able to use her again for my dog sitting needs! Thank you, Nelia!”
“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”
“Amazing! Tia is very sweet from the moment you meet her. She treated my dogs as her own. She sent pictures and videos during the stay, and they were happy when I picked them up.”
“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”
“Dudley seemed comfortable and well cared for. Sebastian sent me several messages and pictures throughout the week to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend.”
“Tevon was great! We had a last minute need for a sitter (same day!) and he was so willing and ready! I was a huge blessing to get someone so highly rated and trusted. I knew our boys were safe and loved with him. He was great about communicating and sending us cute pictures and videos every day. Thank you Tevon! We will definitely look you up when we need to travel again!”
“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
“Denise and her husband did such a wonderful job with my dog, Parker. It was my first time using their services and they made me feel comfortable and worry free while I was away with frequent updates and photos. Highly recommend! Hope to be able to book with them again soon. Thank you :)”
About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Raeann was the best, although his stay was only for a day, our pup loves Raeann! She is so full of love and joy and our pup sensed that from our meet & greet and during his stay! Raeann is so very welcoming and warm-hearted, a perfect fit for our sweet cuddler pup!! Thanks Raeann!! ❤️”
“Wow ! First time dog owners and Sarah put as at ease She went sbovw and beyond. Sofie had more freedoms in their house and Sarah sent us pictures videos everyday. Even when I didn't respond! She is professional yet human at same time. They are awesome and this review does not contain entire story”
About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and have a fenced in yard. I work from home so can spend a lot of time with your pet at my home or drop in at your home as-needed. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.

Allentown dog parents share their Rover experiences
We would absolutely use Victoria again. She took our last minute booking request, took great care of Olive, and was very communicative throughout. She even gave Olive some of her dogs' food when Olive ran out (our fault). I don't like to board Olive when I can avoid it, but she was in great hands with Victoria and I would feel very comfortable leaving her there again. Victoria clearly loves dogs and wants the best for them. Olive also seemed to warm up pretty quickly, which made me feel even better. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl!
Lucy & Matthew were amazing! They sent picture updates every morning and night, took my dogs on several walks a day, and were totally receptive to all my dogs quirks and craziness! Will definitely be using them in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter for their pups!
Liz has been a major asset to Auggie and us over the last 2 vacations. She certainly loves dogs but also understands dogs’ language beyond our expectations, while connecting and communicating with us, humans, promptly and efficiently. She sends beautiful pictures and perfectly measured daily updates of our dog’s vacation time (while we are on a different vacation). Will be so happy to have her host Auggie’s next vacation! Thank you, Liz!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My dog stayed for 7 days and was treated like part of the family. Rae walked Luna regularly, went on fun outings, and even got to join in on runs—which she loved! I received great updates and photos throughout her stay, so I always knew she was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she got plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I highly recommend and will definitely book again! Thanks again, Rae! Cheers.
Cindy is every dog owner's dream! She took such good care of our dog her came back looking much better than we left him. Her has too much fur and we didn't have time to get him groomed beforehand. She went well above and brushed him throughly before we returned. She stayed in touch and was great at communication throughout the whole booking process. I honestly think my dog already misses her 🥲
