“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”


“Katherine did a fantastic job with my dog Finely. She was communicative and prompt and I was confident that Finley was well taken care of. She even left a printed photo and flowers behind after her stay! The house was also left exactly as she found it. I would not hesitate to book again.”


“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!”


“Trish was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She followed their routine and sent frequent updates and pictures. We loved to see that they were enjoying their time and playing. Our house was left in great condition. We would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”


“WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Kathleen did a FABULOUS job taking care of my fur babies. She sent updates multiple times per day along with pictures of each one of the pets. 3 needed medication and one was recovering from surgery and needed special care. Care that I trusted only to a trained professional....and that she is! I was able to truly enjoy my time away; knowing that EVERYONE (and my home) were loved and cared for while we were away. I cannot say enough about Kathleen....she made it possible for me to RELAX! Thank you!!!!!”


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.

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

“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’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles and more! My entire life has revolved around animals, from owning 2 horses and 3 cats currently and previously dogs as well. Ive got a pretty flexible schedule with having my own business currently just mostly unavailable on weekends. I am always available midday during the week I always devote my full attention to the care of the animals, giving them all the personalized care and love that they could want :)

“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”


About: Pups within my care are ensured to be well cared for and happy waggers! Many people like to walk dogs as a way to pass time but for me caring for pets and making sure they get all the help and care that they need are essential to my day to day! I have several years experience in pet sitting, from day to day walks and exercise, to keeping company and helping with food and medical tasks! I am a college student who loves animals and am looking to give some pups some exceptional care! Caring for dogs is my passion and now that i have even more time to give i would like to lend a hand in pet sitting! I am available for Check-in, walking and feeding services! And although i have some time off as of current, even while in classes I am able to do on-going part time care routines! I am able to feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pup! If your pup has a set schedule I am able to work with it and ensure that your pup is safe and healthy and happy! I never like to leave a client dissatisfied with my care so each pup gets their own unique play and care schedule that changes up each day so that it doesn't feel repetitive for them! It can be stressful having to leave your pup with someone new but I always ensure that you will be updated at every moment to know how your fur-baby is doing!

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.

About: I am currently in school to become a certified veterinary assistant at my current high school and will continue on my education after graduation to become a vet technician I am around other than 8 hours during the weekdays while I am attending school. And 3 days out of the week I work for a few hours after school. But other than that I will be there to insure your pet it well taken care of! I can follow any instructions left by owner to insure their pet is safe and happy while they are away. I encourage owners to leave instructions and details on how they prefer their pets to be cared for!
