Top rated Bird in Hand house sitters

“We're grateful we found Stephen! He came to our hotel to pet sit, putting our dog immediately at ease. By the time we got back, they were best buds. Highly, 100% recommend.”


“Leann was great. There was a learning curve with my dogs but once that was figured out everything went great and they became good pals. I’ll definitely request Leann when my I next need dog sitting.”


“Zania did a wonderful job house/dogsitting for us! She is clearly very experienced with pets, and sent nice photos and updates while we were away! I highly recommend her!”


“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”


“Ashley was fantastic! We took a day trip 3 states away and didnt worry once. Consistsnt, clear communication while we were gone. Once we got home you could tell the dogs had been taken care of. Instructions followed to a tee and my dogs showed signs of being happy with her. Admittedly one of my dogs can be a real handful but Ashley was just fine with her. Cannot reccomend Ashley enough!”


“Melissa took great care of our very emotionally needy dog while we were away for two weeks. He was very comfortable in her care, and she gave him lots of attention and love!”


“Deborah watched our girls NYE. She was very responsive and provided a good number of updates. Highly recommend her, we know we will definitely use her for any future sitting needs!”


About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals! As a teen i started pet sitting and knew I wanted to always work with animals so as an adult I went to school for dog grooming. I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention. I am pretty flexible, i'm avaialble during weekdays as well as every other sunday. I will keep my times available updated on the calender here at rover. I am able to feed your animals, take them out to potty, short walks as well as spend time giving them attention and play with them.

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful to my fur babies! I got updates and photos regularly and always felt like they were in good hands. This was the first time I had left them with anyone, but my family and I was really nervous about it. The nerves faded quickly since Hannah was so good about communicating and making me feel better. I will definitely have Hannah stay with the dogs again in the future!”


About: I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs. I also love our 2 year old cat and have looked after animals of all ages throughout my life—dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, hamsters, and fish—each one unique and loved. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I look forward to meeting new furry friends each week! I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique needs—whether that means walking, playing, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship. I always follow your instructions closely and respectfully, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind. Most importantly, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

“Another great sitter experience with Alex! Especially the first night, our ceiling had started to leak and she was very proactive on letting us know, accommodating when we had someone come look at it etc. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of Hank which we loved! She left the house clean and Hank very happy! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Marlena was fantastic! She met w Nova and he instantly loved her. She kept me updated w pics along the way. He was happy and calm- and as a 13yo cranky senior- that’s a big ask! She definitely was an excellent fit and I am so happy to have found and worked with her!”


About: I have taken care of animals for neighbors, family friends, and complete strangers for many years. I have multiple animals in my classroom at school including guinea pigs, rabbits, a bearded dragon, and turtles. I also have several dogs and cats of my own! I am an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. I like to assist families during the summer as well as during the week in the evenings or during longer holiday breaks and weekends. I have a lot of flexibility outside of my normal working hours of 7am-3pm during the school year. I love to ensure that I am comfortable taking your furry family members for a walk either on a loose leash or with a harness. I also enjoy working with families who have invisible fences or fenced in yards which allow the pets to run freely! I am comfortably crating dogs as needed for safety reasons.


“Wow! Rachel was so pleasant, prompt, attentive and took great care of our little one for a week! We so appreciated the updates, photos and assurance all was going smoothly! It is such a comfort knowing our Lexi was so well taken care of! Rachel gave her medication, prepared her special meals and definitely spoiled her! We can’t wait to welcome Rachel again!”


About: I have been around animals all of my life, from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I love walking and hiking, and would be happy to have your pet come along, if that is ok with you. I am a teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible over the summer. I can board your pet during the school year if needed, especially on the weekends. I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.
