“First time using Rover, and Stephanie made it a stress free experience. She offered to meet with our dog (Callie) first, prior to booking, to get a feel for her and her routine. Callie had a great time on her walk and was a happy camper.”
“Maria did a great job! The boys were walked, they seemed very comfortable with Marie, and she sent pictures. I am very thankful for this service, everything worked out perfectly. This is the first time I tried Rover, I will definitely use it in the future.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. After graduating college and moving into my own place, the very first thing I did was adopt a dog of my own! I now have two wonderful dogs and have spent years learning about different breeds, personalities, and training styles. Caring for dogs has become second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their daily routine, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In the summer, I am available full-time to care for pets. Beginning in the fall, I am a teacher so I am available for pet care after 4pm. I am comfortable visiting your home and caring for your pets in their most comfortable environment, their own home! I am able to bring your pets for walks, let them outside, crate them, or snuggle on the couch! Whatever you and they are comfortable with.
About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, farm animals, you name it! I started when I was 16 watching neighbor dogs and have worked in a kennel and on horse farms I currently am a stay at home mom, every other week so we are home all the time. Other than sports we have a pretty clear schedule I have a yard at my apartment and a field across the way. There is a park right down the road from me as well ***will not be available to stay overnight with pet(s)***
About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.
About: I have always loved dogs. I grew up with an English Golden Retriever and learned how to take care of him and give him medicine as he aged. A few years back I got a Border Collie and trained her. I taught her commands from sitting to closing a door to not eat anything off the ground. I love taking her on hikes and we recently completed an agility class together. I have walked dogs many times and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time, so I will have a lot of free time to walk your dog! Early mornings to mid day works best for me! I am available Monday-Thursday, and the occasional Saturday mornings. I am to able to create a safe and relaxing environment for your dogs. I am able to crate dogs and put up gates in the house to keep them safe at all times.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and relatives relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and take care of their pets needs while they were away or at work. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and levels of need over the years. I love to engage with pets in whichever way they’re comfortable, wether it be snuggles or long walks, or both… I love to do it all! I can stick to whatever routine you have set or would like to have set for your pet, and strive to make each visit full of love and the best care (: I am a teacher and am currently able to do evening checks and walks for cats and dogs! Come summer I am able to be flexible all day! I make sure your dog is leashed or in a fenced in area when they go outside. I can crate your dog as well, if that is your preference. I always make sure there is nothing lying around that is toxic to your fur baby. I am very diligent and always checking surrounding areas in your home and neighborhood to make sure your pet is safe.
About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and caring for pets is something I take seriously. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I aim to follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I work full-time at QVC on an overnight schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet owners in advance to find times that work for both of us. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I will follow the owner's instructions and stick to their pet's usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for the way they're used to. I regularly take my own dog, Max, on walks and will make sure to follow each owner's preferences for walks and outdoor time.
About: I’ve grown up always having pets in the family and knew I had a passion for animal care. I’ve looked after senior dogs, puppies, female dogs in heat, rescues with trust issues, and dogs with Vision problems. I work from home so I have very open availability and I have a car so I’m able to commute to and from different rover jobs. I have a small backyard for potty time and a big park across the street with a path to go on the walks. I have a 25-30lb dog that’s with me off and on and a cat with me full time. They both love meeting new friends and warm up quite quickly to new animals staying with us.
