About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows. I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

Nyasia took the time to meet my pups and find out every detail of how to keep them comfortable and happy while I was away. She provided regular updates with pictures, and left my place absolutely sparkling. 100% will use her again! So grateful that my doggos were in such good hands while I was away.

I can’t say enough about Jenna and Aidan! They stayed at our house overnight and, during the day, took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats. One of our dogs, a senior collie, has special needs, and they handled this with ease. They also looked after our elderly cat with kidney issues while still making time to play with our energetic three-year-old dog. They communicated with us , which gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to their compassionate and attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our getaway knowing that our pet family was in the best of hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet sitters!

Eveyln was great with both our high energy dog and elderly cat. It was a last minute booking and we were lucky to find Evelyn, who stepped in for a quick meet and greet, asked questions, took notes, then came to care for our little ones for three nights. They were well cared for and our home was neat as a pin when we returned. We'll book Evelyn again without a doubt.

Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!

We couldn’t recommend Barbara highly enough! She did a wonderful job looking after our anxious dog and 2 cats while we were away. She was super responsive and sent us daily updates on how our fur babies were doing. Our dog loved her and did so well under her close eye. Barbara stayed in our home and left it spotless!

We had a wonderful experience with Merissa. She set up a meet and greet prior to accepting our request, which we very much appreciated. She was punctual and enthusiastic about staying with our dog. Merissa kept us updated and send many pics, we felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of Dane and he was so excitedto have her here With him. Because of our experience, we have already booked her again and will continue to in the future!

I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D

We met Kenda under urgent circumstances, Having just moved to the Bethlehem area from NH, we knew no one. But then we found Kenda on Rover and all her talents and reccommendations were amazing and we knew right away she was the perfect sitter to meet our 2 dogs, Commet&Vera. Her first visit was exactly what we and our babies needed for our short leave from the home. She came prepared and it was clear she had done her homework reading all about our dogs and their meds on a daily basis. We cannot be happier nor more trusting with Kenda. Best reaction was the dogs first encounter they were elated and even tussled to see who got her attention first. My husband and I highly recommend Kenda especially if you have large dogs who are a bit rambunctious. Kenda is the real dog whisperer with her care of quick understading of our our furriest... thank you from the bottom of our hearts also from our babies. SEE YOU VERY SOON I HOPE.

Anna was wonderful with our high-energy 7-month-old Lab! She arrived on time, spent plenty of time outside with her even in the cold, and stayed for five hours. She followed all instructions and made sure our pup was fed lunch and dinner. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend her.

Yesenia was amazing with Blurry and River. She took great care of their physical needs as well as their emotional needs by petting and playing with them throughout the day. Yesenia also did a fantastic job keeping me updated on any issues as well as sending me regular pictures and even videos of Blurry and River during her time caring for them. She followed all directions for my fur babies and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Yesenia to care for anyone's pets.

I will definitely rebook with Delilah in the future for house-sitting- she is really accommodating toward Enchi's preferences and mine and the whole stay went smoothly.

Ayva took wonderful care of our dog, Bondi, for four days while staying at our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Ayva was responsible, kind, and genuinely caring toward Bondi. It was clear that she loves animals and treats them with patience and affection. Bondi was happy, well-exercised, and calm when we returned, which says everything about the quality of care he received. Ayva followed all our instructions carefully, kept the home neat and tidy, and regularly updated us, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our beloved dog in Ayva’s care. She is trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful,exactly the kind of person you hope to find when you need someone to look after your pet. We would highly recommend Ayva to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet-sitter and would happily ask her to help again in the future. 🐶💛

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease leaving Ollie in her care — and that says a lot because he’s a big boy with an even bigger personality. 😊 She was attentive and responsible. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which meant the world to me while I was away. It was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time she stayed at our home. She also took wonderful care of the house — everything was spotless and just as we left it. Most importantly, Ollie absolutely adored her. He was calm, content, and clearly bonded with her by the end of the stay. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our gentle giant!

Kenedy was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive, instantly putting us at ease during our vacation. Our kitties were clearly loved, well-cared-for, and happy the entire time we were away, which means everything to us. Kenedy went above and beyond in every way - following routines perfectly, providing regular updates and photos, and even helping with clearing the snow from one of the biggest and coldest winter storms in years! We were able to truly relax knowing our cats and home were in such capable hands. We would not hesitate for a second to have Kenedy sit for us again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional house and pet sitter!

Alex was an incredible sitter! He stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. He took great care of them, going above and beyond by bringing additional feeding tools and toys he thought would work well for them (thank you for introducing Oslo to a slow feeder!). He was very attentive to their needs, sent photos often, and provided frequent updates via text. Thank you so much Alex! We can't recommend him highly enough!
