About: Hi, I’m Angelina! I’ve spent my whole life around cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I grew up with both, often watched neighbors’ pets growing up, and currently have 2 cats of my own. I’ve volunteered at a cat shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with a variety of personality and needs. I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and to be treated with dignity. I’ll go out of my way to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and so my schedule is flexible! It changes every few weeks, but I often have breaks during the day for drop-ins or walks. Some days are longer than others, but there’s always time for a walk and a treat! I’m happy to work with your pets routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I always like to start with a meet and greet to make sure your pet and I are a good fit, and to see them comfortable in their own space with their favorite person - you! I take time to learn their favorite napping spot, preferred toys, and daily routine. This helps keep your pet (and you!) relaxed while you're away and allows me to notice any changes in behavior or mood. I also love taking pictures and sending updates, because I know how comforting it is to see your pet happy and cared for while you're not home.

“Dylan is always very responsive and takes great care of the pup! His help has been much appreciated”


About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.

About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.

“Harrison watched my puppy over the course of 3 drop ins. He communicated every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure my Rikku was okay. He responded to all my requests and was extremely helpful. I plan to book him again in the near future.”


About: Ever since i was a baby, animals have been a part of my life. My parents bought a dog just a few months before i was born, so it has always been natural to me to have a dog by side. My 1st job I started for myself at 10 years old was my own dog walking service, and I would have easily done it for free! As an adult i have always had a cat and a dog in my home and I am currently the dog dad to 1 furry friend and I am currently working on obtaining my dog behaviorist license My schedule is flexible to accommodate those whose work life doesn't allow them to give their pet the optimal care and attention they would like to I have a fenced in yard and easy access to the outside. My neighborhood has ample natural space to allow for walking play time and training

“We are first time Rover customers! Julia M took care of our two kitties for a weekend. Julia keep us updated and sent pics. We felt so relaxed while away knowing thar Julia was taking great care of them and our home. Thank you, Julia!”


“Allie was a great choice to watch our two cats. She is very friendly and cares about the cats. I would definitely recommend.”


About: We are the perfect dynamic duo, that equally share love for pets. Between our own dogs, dogs we’ve sat for, pets we find on the street, we always want to love them all the same. Either both of us or one of us will join your pups for visits ! Kristen is a professional student nearby and Justin is an instructional aid at a local high school, that being said, we have somewhat flexible schedules and random free times, especially kristen. We both work part time as well, but dog walking, is always something that we love to do, for the cuddles and pets. Whenever going for walks, you make sure that dogs are harnessed up correctly, and ready to go before we leave the house. If we are going to a more public location, like a busy park, we will always make sure to have treats, just in case pups don’t want to listen to us! Your pups will be in very good care with us, if they’re not fan of long walks, we can always and some walk shorter and go home and give them nice good pets. For sittings, we would make sure the pup(s) warm up and are comfortable, so that we can make them feel safe with us.

About: I love dogs but my work and travel schedule impact my ability to have my own dog. I'm looking forward to spend time and caring for your dog and all the good that will bring to all of us when I am available. I work remotely 2 days/ week with a long commute but available to care for a pet the days I am not traveling. I also travel one week each month to Arizona for family so looking to optimize my chance to care for your dog when I am in home in Pennsylvania. I live in a townhouse community that is not fully fenced and when I care for my sister's dog, I walk her on her leash around our community that loves dogs with many caring dog owners around me. We also hang out in the house and she loves to sleep on my office while I work and gives me a great excuse to disconnect from work every few hours and go for long walks in the mutiple, beautiful parks around where I live.

“Amanda took care of my three cats for a week on short notice and I was beyond grateful to find someone so competent and professional. One required medicine and Amanda handled it with zero issues. She provided daily detailed updates with notes and photos. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got home. I would hire Amanda again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services! Thank you Amanda!”

Angelina C.
“I highly recommend Angelina for pet care through Rover. We’ve known her for over three years, and she has cared for our dogs multiple times. She’s always reliable, follows instructions carefully, and treats our pets with kindness and attention. We fully trust her in our home and always feel confident and at ease when she’s watching our animals. Plus, seeing how well-loved her own adopted cats are says it all—your pets will be in great hands with Angelina!”

Adam G.
“Adam is a very talented dog handler, with three Border Collies of his own. He has been herding for several years and is a board member for our club, acting as course director for our trials. Adam competes with his own dogs and helps train others. He is one of the very few people I trust to watch my German Shepherd mix!”


Robert C.
“Robert has been around dogs almost his entire life, as many have, but the difference is when he meets a new dog, he truly lights up, and more importantly, so do the dogs. I think the dogs sense his playful and kind demeanor. Having owned and cared for dogs much of his life he understands they can need some firm direction at times and they always need real attention and deliberate play for exercise.”
