“Norbert was great! Our pup was right at home with him and we received consistent updates while he watched her. Also got a wonderful groom in addition to the dog sitting! Highly recommend and will book again.”

“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Taylor is amazing with my dogs. Excellent communication, gentle with them when they were stubborn and showed care when they wouldn’t eat. I’m really grateful for her and how she cares for my precious pups and my home.”

“Dustin walks my dog daily, and this was his first time watching him at my place. He did an incredible job and is super flexible and easy to work with. My (giant) dog loves him, and he took great care of the place. Highly recommend.”
“Abigail was a great sitter for our dogs. We could tell from the meet and greet that she genuinely cared for them. She took great care of them while we were gone, even as one of our dogs was dealing with an upset stomach. Abigail kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout her time with them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a sitter.”

“Tabor N. is such an amazing dog sitter! We have two small dogs, and he went over and beyond to make sure they were taken care of while we were away. Tabor spent the night four nights. During the four nights, and five days, he made sure that he was at our home a majority of the time until he had to go to work. When he did go to work, or had to leave our home for whatever reason, he wasn't gone long. He was punctual, respectful of our home, and most importantly, incredibly sweet and attentive to our pups! Chewy and Tango can be very scared around strangers, but Tabor made them feel comfortable right away! Tabor also made us smile many times with videos and photos of our babies which made us feel so comfortable, at ease and happy! We highly recommend Tabor to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! We will definitely be using him again many times in the future! Thank you, Tabor! Thank you for caring and loving our pups as much as we do! They really are our babies... Thank you Rover.com for finding amazing caring people for us!”

About: I was a pet groomer for 9 years! I now am a full time stay at home mom. I so badly wanted to work with dogs again, so instead of continuing my profession in dog grooming, I'd like to be their safe place! This is a relaxed environment, where your dog will be loved with small walks, plenty of attention, and lots of cuddles! Also, if you need your dog to have basic grooming, I can provide that as well. This is a place where your dog can relax as if he never left his own room. I have small children and a cat ( who comes and goes at his leisure ) I would love to accommodate you and your pet! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! Other than providing a safe space and grooming; I also have extensive experience dealing with elderly, or pets that need extra medical assistance. I am comfortable administering medicine as well as shots for your diabetic pets from my previous experience with clients. I also can offer a general assessment in your pets health. While they are in my care they will be securely monitored at all times. As a stay at home mom, I only leave home twice a day to pick up and drop off my children to school. Then as I’m home your pet will be going everywhere I go! I take small walks throughout the day suited to your pets energy level. A tired pet, is a happy one at home! While your pet is in my care you can rest assured that not only will they have their own dog beds, but also free range of 90% of the home. They are allowed on all the beds and furniture as well that if they like or need their own quiet space, we have a place wherever they feel most at ease. Our home has a very unfenced large back yard, your dog regardless, would be on leash at all times. Also, we have a park right next to our house in a very walkable area near Valley Forge.
About: I raised 3 dogs and love them all. They must be protected & cared for. We are their whole world and they wait on us, love us, & protect us. I work full-time so I can watch pets Friday to Sunday in my home. I am also able to house sit and take care of your pets in your home as I have adult children to take care of the pets in our home. I can have dogs stay here but not cats. My 14 yr old dog Apple is kind & docile. She loves all dogs and the cats get along too. I can house sit too for dogs and cats. I can also cat sit daily on weekends if you do not want or need a house sitter.
“Katie was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs! One of them wasn’t feeling their best unexpectedly, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She was so attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated every step of the way. You can truly see how much she loves animals and how naturally it comes to her. My dogs adored her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Katie is a well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate young woman—I can’t recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”


About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I work at a vet hospital and have experience working with different personalities in different environments. I am knowledgeable on medication and have experience medicating my own cats and dog. I have self taught training experience as well. I will take care of your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working full-time 5am to 1pm M-F. I will have lots of afternoon availability for walks and to keep your fur babies company in their own home! I have 3 cats of my own and they are weary of other animals. I am more than willing to stay overnight at your house for pet sitting!
“Tim is the absolute best! He gave us regular updates about our dogs while we were away and that gave us the peace of mind that they were happy at home. He also went above and beyond by cleaning the sheets, straightening up, etc so we had less to do when we got back from our vacation. We’ve used him 3 times now and we’ll continue to use him!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible part-time work schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy staying active through walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting and dog walking are a rewarding part of my routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs, from feeding schedules and walks to medications and favorite activities. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.
About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.
“Tristan did an amazing job watching my dog Riley! This was a last minute trip and my dog has chronic health issues (IBD and ear infections). Tristan handled his care perfectly, and he communicated everything in detail! It was such a relief to find a sitter I can fully trust. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

About: I have been responsible for and nurturing pets ever since I was in elementary school. After gaining experience as a pet sitter, I landed a job at a family-owned pet store that specialized in upscale food and supplies. In my 13 years managing the store, I had the pleasure of interacting with countless animals and their humans, helping them find the perfect food, treats, toys, and training tools to ensure their overall health and contentment. Odds are, I'll remember your pet's name before yours! I will provide whatever hours you need for the safety and comfort of your pets, and your peace of mind. My daytime work allows for flexible scheduling, especially earlier in the week. I'm known for pets feeling immediately comfortable around me, because I insist on meeting them on their terms, not mine. I build on that trust and bond with animals quickly. I'll do everything possible to gain and foster that trust.

Eliza did a fantastic job of taking care of our German Shepard! Our dog needed medication daily and she had no issues administering it. She communicated regularly with us, which made being away a little easier. Our house was spotless upon our return. Highly recommend Eliza!

We have been a part of the Rover community for a couple of years now and have never had such an amazing experience as we did with Jessie. There are no words to describe how grateful we are to her. Our dog doesn't do well being alone for an extended period of time and Jessie is the first pet sitter ever, who have understood this and made sure she is with him as much as she can. She was able to tag team with Natalie ( another amazing Rover sitter) to help with Richie while Jessie was at work. Jessie stayed in constant communication withus about everything. She made us feel so at ease and Richie was comfortable, happy and loved while we were away.

Kate was absolutely fabulous with our 12 yr old golden. She played with her and walked her in the mornings and then let Annie have pool time in the doggie pool. Annie loves her and was so calm and relaxed while we were away. I would definitely hire Kate to stay with us again because I know our dogs and home will be well cared for.
