Andrey is great. Always communicates. I have an older, stubborn dog and he works with her personally to get much needed exercise. She loves it.

About: Providing attentive, reliable care is my top priority—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each animal’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have experience with both long-term and short-term dog sitting, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, and structured routines. I’m also comfortable managing multiple dogs (up to three) while ensuring each one receives individual attention, exercise, and enrichment. I also offer thoughtful cat care, going beyond basic feeding and litter maintenance to include play, interaction, and enrichment tailored to their personality. In addition to dogs and cats, I have hands-on experience caring for small animals, including my own pet rabbit. Having grown up around farms and livestock, I’m confident handling a variety of animals and am happy to discuss more specialized care needs. You can expect clear communication, dependable care, and a calm, patient approach that helps your pets feel at ease in your absence. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide care throughout the day and evening. Because I can work remotely, I’m often able to spend extra time in your home between my social work clients—so your pet gets more companionship, attention, and consistency while you’re away. I provide personalized, in-home pet care designed to keep your pet comfortable in the place they know best. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so their days remain consistent, calm, and stress-free while you’re away. My approach is attentive and unhurried—I don’t believe in quick, transactional visits. Instead, I focus on quality time, whether that’s walks, play, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence in your home. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, cared for, and genuinely supported. I treat both your pet and your home with the highest level of respect and care. You can also expect clear communication with regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving thoughtful, reliable, boutique-style care.

About: I have worked with animals since I was very little. I grew up on a farm with every kind! All my life Ive loved taking care of them. Recently moved to harrisburg and away from the farm so i’m missing it! My day is very open so I have plenty of time to walk/ play with your fur baby. Making your animal happy is what makes me happy. I have a big grass area for your fur baby to play and run around in but can easily crate them if needed. Any accommodations welcome!

About: I used to be a personal assistant and during this time I took care of my employers dogs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I had a senior dog for three years and understand they're on a different schedule than most dogs. I've been apart of groups that help socialize puppies and programs where kids read to dogs! I work a healthcare schedule so I’m flexible for the most part. I usually work 3 12 hour shifts a week meaning I can be with your dog the other four days!! Previous dogs I took care of one of them wasn’t nice so I kept my distance as safe as possible still letting them outside and supervising, feeding them, giving treats! My personal dog, has a semi fixed schedule especially when everyone in the house is working that day but if we’re home we play and snuggle with him as much as he wants! He gets a bath every two weeks and we supplement his food with omega 3 tablets recommended by his vet, and foods such as sweet potato’s!

About: I’ve had considerable experience with cats and dogs — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m also open to caring for other pets. I’m a calm, patient person, and animals really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so pets aren’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, potty breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy pets the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a dog barks, I’ll soothe them with a calm voice; if they pull on the leash, I’ll pause until they settle; if a pet’s shy, I’ll let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my pets feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat or dog! IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). My schedule is flexible since I’m retired. I can work around your schedule, or adjust my own to fit what your pet needs. I do have a couple evening meetings each month, and I’m busy on Sunday mornings.

Lauryn showed up timely and walked both dogs separately. She was prepared with poop bags and treats and both of my sweet boys were eager to go for a walk with her. She has a kind personality and the dogs were attentive to her. Loved the pictures that she sent from the walk as well. We have already rebooked with Lauryn and "the boys" look forward to many more walks with her.

About: We love dogs and cats we grew up surrounded by them, we have 2 dogs and 2 cats, I teach my children love and respect for animals We work from home so we can give you time to take them out to the yard to play at home or outdoors. We have Leia (cat), Nexu (cat), Padme (Dog) and Percy (Dog) a beautiful, super-friendly chocolate Lab and Golden retriever who loves to play with other animals. Your pet will always receive love in our house, we will treat them with one more member of our family, with fresh water and food, they will have company to play, you can trust that they will have excellent care In the morning the first thing we do is take them to pee and poop, then we give them food. It usually comes out again 20 or 30 minutes after eating. We work from home so breaks for pee and poo are constant approximately every 1 or 2 hours maximum. I have a beautiful chocolate labrador that can be the perfect company for your pet, I don't have a fence but my neighborhood is safe and my back yard is big to play in we use thelong leachs, we can take him to pee and poop with his dog collar or keep an eye on him if he likes being without a dog collar

About: I grew up on a farm with plenty of different kinds of animals, but the main ones were cats and dogs. I always had at least 5 dogs and 3 cats in the household with my mom. Now I moved out and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own whom are very much loved! I’ve also have been a part of K9 Search and Rescue, so I am K9 first aid certified! I work a full-time job. I work week days 8 am-4:30 pm. (Except for federal holidays!) But I have a flexible job that I can work around to meet your and your fur baby's needs! Before and after work I have plenty of time to take care of your furr babies. I rather play with animals than sit at home and do nothing! I always keep a close eye on my animals and always keep them on a leash while out and about and even In our yard. I’m all for kenneling a dog while you are away so it wouldn’t be an issue if that’s a preferred method!

About: Former Director of Sales, current stay at home Mommy with my 7 month old. We recently returned back to PA after spending a little over a year in Virginia Beach. Although we loved the beach, we missed being close to our families. We also have our Jaxson, a 4 year old mixed breed that we adopted when he was 3 months old. Jaxson is taking his big brother role very seriously. We have been rescuing dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and we take care of our pets like family. My schedule is flexible. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I will maintain the agreed upon schedule and arrangements made for your pet. I will follow any instructions left for me and frequently keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I will love on your pet just as if they were my own.

About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.

About: I run a music teaching business as well as am a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I grew up with dogs my whole life (all golden retrievers) and I do a lot of pet sitting on the side for student's families. One of my own students told me about this app, so I figured it would be an awesome tool to earn extra cash to offset the cost of living, while getting to spend time with my favorite four-legged friends :) During the stay I will be using your home as “home base” and will be in and out of your house periodically during the day to care for my other drop-ins/walking clients, but the majority of my time will be dedicated to your fur family. I prefer clients with fenced-in yards or invisible fences for everyone’s safety, and one daily walk is included with every booking! One a final note, I taught my dog to sing (I swear he can match pitch), so if that's something you're interested in as well we can chat :-P **Stays of one night are subject to a minimum charge of two days**

About: I have personally not have had a household dog since I was younger, but I have always been a dog person at heart from experiencing the lively and energetic spirit of a fellow companion. I am always the first to volunteer for dog sitting opportunities for my siblings and fellow relatives. I look forward to meeting new paw friends all along my journey with Wag! I would love to continuously look forward to meeting pawfriends all around the area while providing for their needs. I am young, energetic and highly flexible when it comes to providing services to future pet owners! I always embrace any pet as it was my own. I love the rare connections you can have with dogs through the use of nonverbal communication. I was raised on the value of respect, and I wish to prove this to any pet owner in the near future. Thank you!
