About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I have personal experience caring for senior dogs, including pets with medical needs, special diets, medications, and specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to handle walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or just spend some time keeping them company. I know every pet is different, so I try to keep their normal routine as much as possible and treat them like I would my own. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. As a doctoral student, my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m currently at practicum on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m unavailable after 4 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to classes. Outside of those times, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine! I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and routines. While I don’t currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for pets where they’re most comfortable: their own home! I do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medications, crating or carriers when needed, and plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all my life and love their company. I have a great yard for small to medium size dogs that is fenced in for safety. My home is safe and loving and a perfect place for your fur baby while you are away. I do not work outside my home so all fur babies will have my full attention. Lots of play time and cuddling. Lots of love. I have a fur baby myself named Barley. He loves all dogs and would be a great companion for you fur baby. He is a small dog, Cavapoo.
“Megan stopped in to check on our cats during our vacation, and we really appreciate her help and her company! She was thorough in making sure she knew where everything was before we left, and she stayed for the full half hour with each visit. Megan also sent a ton of pictures after each visit. We loved getting to see what our cats were up to!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 10 years, including my own dog, Chewie. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own. currently work, but I keep my schedule updated and make time for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including many mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog as well as family and friends dogs for about 10 years. I am able to take long walks, feed, and entertain in general. I consider myself very trustworthy as I’ve had a dog my whole life. I recently just graduated college and am back home living in LANGHORNE, PA so I am free on weekdays any time after 12 pm. I can walk around for some good exercise for the dog or just play in the yard. I live in a great area for nice long walks. If I’m staying at a clients home, I provide lots of cuddles inside as well as fun play time outside.
About: I have been taking care of and surrounded by dogs my whole life! I grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs and Golden Retrievers, and we currently have an English Bulldog. I have extensive experience with dog walking, general pet sitting and overnight stays. I have worked with both puppies and senior dogs, some of which have required special care. I never hesitate to ask questions and value good communication with owners! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’m currently a university student in my last semester and babysit part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I can do scheduled care, as well as last-minute visits/care depending on my schedule. My weekends are generally free all day as well. I can do overnights any day of the week, as my classes are later! I am flexible:) I ensure I know the owners rules and routine for the pups, avoiding letting them roam anywhere they’re not supposed to, be on furniture they’re not supposed to, allowed to go on walks, etc. I make sure I know how much food the dogs get, when, where extra food may be, etc. Cleaning up after myself and the pups and treating the space as I would want my space to be treated! Again, if I am unsure about something, I do NOT hesitate to ask a question.
About: I have been caring for dogs for more than 10 years. Family, friends and coworkers have relied on me to care for their dogs often!! I am currently working full time however, I am free on the weekends to care for your dogs. I have had dogs for my entire life and have always made them a priority even on days when I am home later than normal. Unfortunately, I m unable to care for cats due to my own allergies. When I have dogs in the yard, I always watch them even if they are in a fenced in yard. When dogs are not in a fenced in yard, I always have them leashed when outside. I treat dogs like my kids. I am always playing with dogs when they are inside the home, if they want to play of course.
“Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
“Matthew arrived when requested and performed well all the jobs required to care for my two cats. He even cleaned up vomit on several occasions, for which I am thankful!! He seems a calm presence for my two. Thanks, Matt”

About: Who said dogs were the only pets that know how to do tricks? My cat’s (strong) drive for food has helped me in teaching her how to sit, and put up with all of the love I give her. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, even the aloof fur babies. Whether they’re playful and outgoing or shy and independent, I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace.🩵🐈⬛ Watching my boyfriend’s high-energy Rottweiler/Bully mix has given me hands-on experience with a dog that keeps myself, and everyone within a mile radius on their toes! Through a strong amount of patience and unwavering consistency (even with all of his cuteness), I’ve taught him ways to help him develop better manners and impulse control. I’ve learned how to channel his energy into learning new tricks. I’ve become confident in finding ways to help even the most energetic dogs settle down and relax. 💕🐶 I work part time during the week as a support staff for adults with autism. I am available every Monday and Wednesday after 4pm, Tuesdays after 1pm, and Thursdays after 2pm. 😊 I ensure all tiny items a puppy or teething dog can choke on are put away. Leashing before walking outside is a must, even with the most well behaved animals. Double checking that the doors are closed is essential, and will never feed your pet food/treats that have not been approved by you.

About: Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m 30 and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and lizards. I grew up with animals and now have two of my own! Macy & Louie, my small, spoiled pups who are my little besties. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I also often love visiting my mother-in-law’s farm. She has goats, chickens and all, so no pet is too big or small for me! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! 😊 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I’m available most weekends and am a newly stay at home mom so pets get lots of love, attention, and walks. On the days I run out for errands, my two small dogs relax on the couch and any visiting pups would join them for a safe, cozy hangout while I’m gone. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take my dogs out for approx. 15-20 minute walks every 3 hours when I’m home. I love keeping pets happy, active, and feeling right at home! In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two small, friendly dogs and provide a safe, cozy space with lots of love, playtime, and regular walks. Visiting pets are always supervised and can relax freely or in a spacious playpen if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and happy. I make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to — all while treating your home with respect.
About: I’ve cared for dogs in clients’ homes before and I’m an attentive, responsible caregiver. I also have a background resource many pet sitters don’t: my girlfriend is currently in vet school, so I can draw on real veterinary knowledge when it comes to medical questions, medication schedules, or health concerns — not just guesswork. I also have two dogs of my own, ages 10 and 8, so I’m well versed in the needs of both older, mellower dogs and animals with more specific care routines. Whether your dog needs a calm, predictable environment or just an active playmate, I’ve got it covered I run my own online business, Peptrova, a peptide company, so my schedule is largely self-directed and wide open compared to a typical 9-to-5. That means I can prioritize your pet’s care around your timeline rather than squeezing visits in around a rigid job — whether that’s flexibility for last-minute bookings, longer visits, or being consistently available throughout the day for check-ins. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots to sleep. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same way. I also just genuinely have a lot of sympathy for animals — I notice when they’re anxious, uncomfortable, or acting off, and I take that seriously rather than brushing it aside. Combined with my girlfriend’s veterinary background, that means your pet is watched closely and cared for with real attentiveness, not just supervised.
About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs. I’ve dog sat for a few people I know personally, providing drop in visits, overnight care and walks. Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: Surrounded by animals from a very young age, I had 8 dogs while growing up, so I know how to spot behaviors and preferences in dogs! Love to keep to a good schedule and let the dog guide the visit! I have a pretty flexible schedule! Whatever your pet needs I’ll be able to accommodate, I do not shy away from more complicated routines! I love an excursion, so let’s create an vacay for your pet while you’re on your own! Also able to pick up and drop off your little guy/girl if needed! I have a fenced in yard and no current pets of my own! I also live right in WC borough so I’ll be able to do as many walks as they want/need!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downingtown
I was so nervous about finding someone new to help with our dog and Erin has been the best!! She’s so easy to communicate with and has been amazing with our pit mix, and he absolutely loves her! She provides updates and pictures…I am on the opposite side of the country but feel completely at ease knowing he is in great hands!

I was surprised with the level of experience that Juliana had with dogs when we did our meet and greet. She was very engaging and clearly had a great connection with our pets. Will definitely plan to keep working with her in the future. I would strongly recommend
Brady did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! He visited 3 times a day and sent reports and pictures each day. His communication was awesome! Knowing that our pets were in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! We look forward to having him help with our girls again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I traveled to Chicago for weekend and needed someone to take care of my dog Tori. Xinyue was quick to response to my request for dog visiting. Thanks God that Xinyue living at the same apartment complex. Xinyue took care of Tori well and walked Tori for olayed with Tori while I was away. Tori was very happy thanks to Xinyue.
