“Kerry was wonderful! She was super responsive, personable and I never had a doubt that all was well with my 3 kittys while I was away. Thank you Kerry for everything! I would highly recommend booking her for your next trip. I know I will. 🩷”
“Gwen is very responsive and great with our dogs and cat. She provides excellent communication before, during and after her visits. We’re grateful knowing our pets are in her great care.”
“Once again, Christian came to care for our 18 year old cat while we were away. Having someone who is confident, comfortable, on time and trustworthy to care for our old cat gives us great peace of mind.”
“She was so great! Our pups were well taken care of, and our house looked great after we returned from being away for a week. Our 3 dogs were not easy either as 1 is still very young and energetic, and the eldest is partially paralyzed. She was very patient and understanding with our dogs and great with communication with us while we were away. Very happy with her service!”
“Thank you for dropping in on my little girl on such a short notice. Very professional and accommodating. The photos were great. Exceeded all expectations. Would highly recommend.”
“John is very polite and took great care of our girl. She is normally very shy and hides from new people. Most of the time anyone that is taking care of her when we are not here, never gets to see her. Lovey not only came out to see John but allowed him to pet her and play with her. Very impressed with John's updates and his professionalism. I was a bit nervous using this site for the first time, but it was a great decision and John turned out to be our new pet-sitter! ER”
“This was my first experience with Rover. The only challenge was using the app and redeeming the coupon. It wasn't initially offered when I registered. The caregivers helped walk me through it. There were two caregivers' names posted, but only one serviced the dogs and the other one discussed my concerns. But when I met the second one, she got the same rundown. Overall, they were both pleasant, and the one who actually came to the house was sweet and kind to my furbabies.”
About: I am that person who stops everything wherever I am to talk to dogs walking or play with them in the pet store. Pets are great friends. I work full time from home. 6a-230p. I live right outside of Penn Estates. Weekends I am available at any time. During the week after 230. I walk my 2 dogs around on a leash. They have seatbelts/car seats for car rides. We also like playing in the park. Treats in a pocket are a great way to keep your furry friend next to you

“Alicia is absolutely amazing, and will definitely be my go to person moving forward! Chance is a very special boy and gets really sad when I go away on trips which is always hard for me. Alicia really made me feel at ease while I was gone; she even sat with him on the floor and just pet him when he was moping and sent updates each day to let me know what was going on. Thank you for everything, you have no idea how much I appreciate your help!”
“Alisha is wonderful -- so easy-going, kind, and great with dogs! So patient and understanding both with owners AND their dogs ;) Baby loves her, and she was both calm and in great spirits when I got home after a 5-day business trip. She was so settled and happy, getting to stay home in her familiar space. Alisha made me feel so comfortable and I never had to worry about my dog while I was away. I am blessed to have found her for my little girl, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone else in the area.”
“Laura responded quickly to my request. My neighbor said she was professional and a natural dog person. Laura was prompt, checked in and let me know how my dogs did. I recommend Laura and hope to use her services again in the future.”
About: Animal Lover. I have had dogs since I was 7/8 years old. Always small dogs, but I have been surrounded by big dogs my whole life. No matter the size or breed your dog will be loved. I currently work full Tuesday-Saturday, however I can pet sit on weekends. I usually work 2:30-8:30 on Saturdays so i could always care for your pet at night and the early afternoon. I do not have a fenced in yard, but as long as they are on a leash I could take them on a walk or take them to the little pet park at the apartment. In the home, they will be well taken care of & they are welcomed to sit and lay on furniture and beds. We treat pets as if they are family.
About: I have experience in dog sitting for friends and family. Animals care is a passion for me and I believe that as a member of your family, your pet deserves top care. I have experience in administering medications and knowledge in elderly pets, puppies/kittens, and disabled pets. I also have 6 years of experience with reptiles of all species including vetting and care. I go to school online part time so I am available to take care of pets most times. I work in the summer but have a flexible schedule and work within range so very flexible pet care! My personal pets are on a strict feeding and walking schedule so I am used to routine. They are also up to date and vaccines and flea and tick prevention. I believe mental and physical activity is very important to animals on top of attention so play time is a must!

Her customer service is outstanding—she’s responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to the well-being of every animal she meets. Beyond her skills, what makes Erin an awesome human being is her kindness, integrity, and the genuine joy she finds in connecting with people and their pets. She’s simply one of a kind.”

“Anessa has been our dog sitter for a year. She is reliable, trustworthy and amazing with our pets. Not only does she take the dogs out for walks, she also sits and plays with them so that they feel loved and attended to. She helps with feeding schedules as well as our cats. She has stayed at our home during long vacations so the animals have normalcy and human contact throughout the day and night. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.”
