About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.

“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”

About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. I also live with my partner who can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). We have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in our primary bedroom.

“Teresa was great to work with. I have trust in her watching Libby for me again if I need to. She cared for her great with a fun filled day for my fur baby.”

About: My love for animals started when I was 16 and I got my first dog who turned into our family dog, she is 16 now and I am 32! | love helping out friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, and even bath time. I love spending time with furry ones and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, so much I’ve volunteered at different shelters both in Mexico and in the US. Our family dog on my profile does not live with me, she lives with my parents. Thanks to my flexible job, pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have plenty of free time. I'm flexible and available for last minute bookings, whether it's a quick walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all instructions to maintain their routine.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.

“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”

“Michael was so awesome! He took my dog last minute and took great care of him! His schedule was flexible and his rates are great! 100% satisfied!”

About: I had a dog growing up (Hershey) and helped take care of him. And I have always enjoyed playing with friends' and family's dogs. I absolutely love walking and being outside and would love canine companions to encourage me to do it more! I've hosted one friend's dog at my place already (see pics; that's Georgia sleeping on her little doggy mat in my living room). Overall, lifelong love of dogs + good head on my shoulders = strong instinct for what they need and when. I work from home, and other than a few set calls, I set my own schedule. And I work from a treadmill desk — so when I say I love walking, I mean it! I take frequent breaks to get sunshine and exercise outdoors, so you can expect your dog to get the same! I can keep an eye on your dogs the entire time I have them! I have a fenced-in, upstairs deck (with a staircase that can be easily blocked). And a backyard that is NOT fenced, but where I could tie a leash around one of the deck supports, so your dog can be outdoors as much as they want! Inside, I have a fully hard, vinyl floor upstairs and a carpeted area downstairs, with vinyl flooring in the downstairs kitchen as well. So whichever surface your dog likes to sit on, I can accommodate!

“Max was wonderful!! So quick to respond & so quickly available last minute. Took rocky on a walk & played with him the entire time. Totally recommend?”

About: My dogs are like my children, and I treat other peoples' dogs the same way. I have had dogs growing up and currently have two. Two of our seniors have recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we miss them dearly. In addition to clients through Rover, I have done dog-sitting for friends and neighbors with great success. I make sure dogs in my care have plenty of companionship and exercise. I believe in rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing them for doing something wrong. I do work full time as a teacher but am home in summers, and my husband works from home most days. If I’m visiting or staying at your house, there is a possibility I would need to bring my children (ages 9 and 7) with me depending on my husband’s schedule, so they would get lots of attention! For boarding, we have a dog door and a fenced in yard, so your pet can roam freely if you choose. We would just need to make sure our dogs all get along! I adore dogs and will shower yours with attention. Dogs in my care get very spoiled with lots of love! I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summer but do have evening and weekend availability during the school year. If you choose to board, your pet will have 24/7 access to the yard through our dog door! My husband works from home most days with the exception of Wednesdays, so there is almost always someone home with your pet unless we are gone for activities with our kids. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a friendly dog. If your dog is used to having free reign of the house when you’re gone, that will be the case at our house as well, and they will have access to the yard through the dog door. The door does have the ability to lock if escaping the yard is a concern. If your dog doesn’t learn the dog door, we will ensure they are able to get outside plenty. We will also respect any requests to crate during the day or at night.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. I have been taking care of my pets since then. I have house sat for family members. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs before. I currently work full time from home so I am home daily. I am able to let the dogs out and give them attention all day long. I have a fenced in yard that our dog roams and sits outside often. I give our dog multiple bathroom breaks, play with her and give her lots of love during the day.

About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.

About: I have always loved dogs. My husband and I adopted a beagle 5 years ago and we have just loved every minute of it. We go on daily walks, have plenty of toys and dog puzzles. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to monitor and play with your dogs. My Beagle Tommy is also dog friendly. We go outside frequently and supervise outside playtime. I have a friendly beagle who loves to play hard and nap hard too. We allow dogs on the furniture and work from home. We do not crate dogs even when leaving the home.

About: I’m absolutely obsessed with animals and have been caring for pets for 17 years! Over the years, I’ve cared for countless dogs in their own homes, welcomed pups into my home while their families were away, and worked with rescue organizations and foster dogs from time to time. I currently have one senior pup of my own, Bentley, an 11-year-old Whippet/Lab mix. He absolutely loves having doggy guests and is happiest when he has a friend around! I do have a part-time job that takes me away from home for approximately 1-3 hours at a time during the week. When boarding dogs, my fiance works a different shift, as well as my sister being available, we between them can provide additional check-ins when needed. I’m always upfront about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect. 🐶 Safety First Your pet’s safety is my absolute top priority. I’m a bit of a worrier when it comes to the animals in my care, which means I’m constantly keeping an eye on everyone! Dogs in my care are never left unattended together, whether they’re inside or outside, and all dogs are separated during meals. At night, friendly dogs are welcome to have free rein of the house..and if they end up sleeping on the bed surrounded by a pile of dogs, I certainly won’t complain! ❤️ I have a 42” metal kennel and mat available if your dog prefers or requires crate time, although it rarely gets used. I also have pet first-aid kits at home and in my car and am comfortable handling minor cuts, scrapes, and other basic pet-care situations. I have also personally administered insulin injections to a diabetic dog belonging to my best friend. 🏡 A Home Full of Dog Supplies I absolutely spoil my pets, so I’m well equipped for furry guests! We have multiple dog beds, food and water dishes, food risers, toys, treats, and plenty of tennis balls. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. The one exception is bones/long-lasting chews when multiple dogs are together. Bentley can become protective of them, so those are simply put away during group time. Safety first! ❤️ Rescue & Foster Experience I’ve also worked with rescues and occasionally foster dogs. If I have a foster or additional dog in my home during your pet’s stay, I will always let you know ahead of time. Any foster dogs staying in my home are required to be appropriately vaccinated, dog-friendly, and a good fit for a multi-dog environment. 📸 Communication I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I make communication a priority. I send daily photos and updates and stay in contact throughout your pet’s stay. If I’m away from the house, I’ll keep you informed about my schedule as well. My goal is for you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, loved, and being treated like part of the family. 🐕 Meet Bentley! Bentley is my 11-year-old Whippet/Lab mix and resident senior gentleman. He’s an attention seeker who will probably decide you’re there specifically to throw a tennis ball for him rather than meet me and introduce yourself! 😂 He still enjoys playing, but these days he mostly prefers fetch, attention, and occasionally being chased around the yard. He is also a jumper, so consider yourself warned—wearing something nice or white when we meet may be a risky decision! 😉 Bentley has spent years around other dogs and loves having company. He’s very much the welcoming committee of our household. 🩺 Vaccinations & Preventatives For the safety of every animal in my care, all pets must be current on vaccinations and appropriate flea, tick, heartworm, and other parasite preventatives. We take walks and visit different areas, so keeping everyone protected against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, worms, and other preventable illnesses is extremely important. Please note that while I take extensive precautions to maintain a clean and safe environment, I cannot be held responsible for viruses, parasites, or illnesses that an animal may contract despite appropriate preventative measures. Lots of walking, mind game stimulations, and more! We wake up around 6:00 for our first morning potty break. We eat at about 7am until 7:45. Some dogs prefer to go out promptly after for another break. At 9am we take our first walk. Noon-3 is nap time. 3:30 another 1-3mile walk. 5pm dinner. After dinner is another break outside. 7pm another shorter walk. Bedtime is around 9pm. All pets will go outside to have one last break. I take every safety precaution I can to make sure everyone is safe, especially during feedings. With the use of gates and rooms, everyone is separated until finished.

“Cliff was an absolute ANGEL! So prompt on his responses, and helped us out last minute. He was above and beyond communicative and overall so lovely. Highly recommend!! 💕”

“Sharon is the best! I love feeling confident in the knowledge that my dog is being lovingly cared for while I’m at work. And Poppy is a sweetheart, too!”

“I have used Shannon to care for my dogs 4 times now and every time has been great. Shannon is very accommodating and flexible, which I really like because my life is hectic. My dogs seem to love going there, they rush right in as soon as she opens the door. They are always good natured when I pick them up, which tells me that Shannon is treating them right. She sends me pictures throughout their stay and keeps me updated. I plan on using her every time I need a pet sitter. Finding someone reliable and dependable and caring is a real comfort to me when I have to leave my pets.”
