“As a first time Rover user I’m happy to report that Hunter exceeded my expectations as a care giver for my very shy cat. I will definitely hire Hunter again she was totally relatable and kept me informed about feeding and caring for Pusheen.”
“My scaredy-cat. Aoife, could not have had a better pet sitter, though she hit the whole time, David was diligent trying to get her to come out. He gave me many updates, took care of her the best he could, and when other things went wrong around the house he took care of them too, without being asked. Like filling my birdfeeders. We didn’t ask him to do it, but he took it upon himself. And I’m very very grateful to him.”
“Haileigh was awesome. My cat got along well with her and she took care of him per my instructions. I could relax while on vacation, knowing she was playing and feeding him.”

“Toni was such a great match for the drop in services I needed for my 2 cats. She went above and beyond to stay and play with my boys and sent so many great photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing they were taken care of and given attention while I was away. I look forward to having Toni help out again!”
About: My name is Jessica, I absolutely love animals! I've had all types of animals my entire life, dogs, birds, turtles, snakes, etc! I started rover when I lived in New York and moved to Pennsylvania about a 3 years ago. I have a very large fenced in yard, perfect for a dog to run around in.. I live with my 16 year old son , a 5 year old daughter and my husband. We are all truly animal lovers, trustworthy, kind and reliable. I would take care of your pet like I take care of mine. I currently work part time so I have alot of time and will give your animal all the attention he or she will need and take them out frequently. I have a large fenced in yard your dog can run around in. I have a nice sun room we can lounge in or just hang out inside.
About: Grew up with 2 Labs (Auggie + Nate), 2 Carolina Dogs (Silo + Pepper), and 20+ cats at different times. Experience boarding high energy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety! I work part time, which makes it easy for me to dedicate time for pet care regularly! Depending on location, here’s some more details on my current availability: Mon-Fri: 8am-11:15am, 4pm-7pm Sat: 8am-4:45pm Sun: 8am-9:15am, 2pm-7pm When you book with me, your pet is my top priority. I don’t offer pet care in my own home for your animal’s comfort, since our family has several cats and dogs here (that’s farm life for ya!)
“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
About: I'm an experienced veterinary nurse with over 30 years, taking care of all kinds of pets. I am currently a surgical nurse and I specialize in senior care, diabetics, post surgical care and medical boarding. When your pet needs extra special care, call me! I work full time Tues, Wed, Thurs, which leaves me free to pet sit Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Perfect for those long weekend plans! I have a large, safe, fenced in yard for your dog to play. I have four friendly dogs and a handful of house cats to keep your pet company.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The first dog I called mine was a miniature schnauzer named Poca. I got her when I was 5. I have had many dogs over the years, as well as cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other types of pets. I have worked at animal shelters for months of my life. I would feed animals, give them water, take them outside, help administer medicine, watch them in the yards, and just generally love on them. I also have experience working with wild animals at zoos. I have open availability for pet care services, as my main source of income is gig economy work. I am flexible, so no matter what you need, I can likely make it work. I make sure your pets always have access to fresh water, and depending on how your pets are usually fed, I can feed them on a schedule or set up free-feeding. I will also make sure they get plenty of attention.

You can’t go wrong with picking Jenn for pet care.”

It’s such a relief knowing my little guy is safe, happy, and totally spoiled even when I’m not there. I also love the silly little update pictures I get of my silly little boy. I can’t recommend Jasper enough!”
