“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”

“Ronnie is such an amazing dog sitter! She came in and asked everything she could to get to know Duncan and even did a visit prior to our needed services! She went above and beyond to take care of Duncan and make sure he had everything he needed. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”

“Jeanne is fantastic! We had never had to leave Bella as she is my comfort dog. Jeanne understood it was just as hard on Bella as it was for me. I could not have asked for a better caregiver as Jeanne was during my absence. She is definitely now a part of our family.”

“We couldn't be happier with the job Kelsey did watching our 1 1/2 year old puppy, Alfie. She is warm & loving and extremely responsible. Kelsey moved into our home for 3 weeks and not only did she do a fabulous job with Alfie, she was clean & respectful of our home. We received lots of texts, pictures & videos which really helped to ease our anxiety over leaving Alfie for so long. He loved Kelsey so much that although he was overjoyed to see us, he was also depressed that Kelsey was gone. We will definately use Kelsey again without hesitation!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!
“Matt was fantastic! Provided great updates, was available throughout the whole stay when I reached out, and took the best care of the pups. He respected my home and is an all around considerate sitter. I would use him again for sure!”

“Cara did a great job with three larger dogs. Two lap Labs and an old boxer mix. Our concern was how the old boxer would get along with her. Cola immediately warmed up and Cara gave us regular updates through photos. I'd recommend her.”

“Stephanie was great with Xander! She kept me updated throughout the day, kept him engaged. & even took him for a few walks! It’s also a bonus that Xander absolutely LOVED her from the moment he met her! She’ll definitely be back! ☺️”

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.
“Cindy was great with my Calvin! He was happy and well taken care of the couple days I was gone and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future when I leave town.”

About: We are an engaged couple living in Girard, no kids at this time, and we both work in healthcare with “odd” hours and days off! Account ran by Kaitlin however Joe has been verified/approved to help out as well. For almost two decades I’ve had dogs of my own, and have watched and cared for the dogs of friends/family members, often overnight and for days at a time. I’ve raised one puppy, and I’ve had had 3 senior dogs (our dogs luckily live to be quite old!). One of my family dogs has special needs due to a spinal stroke in 2016, and I’ve been very involved in his care. I am familiar with medicating dogs. I am a registered nurse myself, and for the last 3 years I’ve been working from home for an insurance company. I am very fit and active and love to exercise. I also love to be outside in nature, especially when the weather is nice! Joe is a paramedic/firefighter. We love all dogs, with a special place in our heart for rescue dogs, and even more of a special place for pit mixes, having two of our own. We love to stay busy. We know how stressful finding a pet-sitter can be, and we’d love to alleviate that worry for people. I work from home and my shifts are 10 hours, 4 days a week. I work every other weekend, so every week I have two weekdays off. Even while I am working, I am able to take breaks at any time throughout my day and can walk people’s dogs/do drop in visits during that time. Joe works 24 hour shifts at the fire department, once every third day, and then on his days off from there he works 8:30-4:30 at a medical sales warehouse. I have not yet attempted to bring other dogs into our home, but it’s something I’m potentially open to. We have 2 dogs and they are the best of friends. We have a fenced in backyard. We have a crate here that we put one of our dogs in when we leave the house as he has destructive separation anxiety. I am able to drive, or maybe even walk to other people’s houses!

“Cyndi is amazing! I have a dog aggressive/ reactive dog and she was not hesitant to house sit with her! She sends pictures of your pup with updates and has amazing communication and courtesy! My boyfriend and I are new to the area and don’t have family or many friends here, but someone suggested Rover to us and I am so thankful I found Cyndi. My dog loves her, and she will forever have the best of friends with Cyndi and her sweet amazing daughter!:)”
