About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a diverse range of pet breeds and ages, I offer personalized, trustworthy pet sitting that prioritizes your furry family members' unique needs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I’m dedicated to providing the highest level of care and companionship while you’re away. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home! I am fortunate to be able to work from home Monday-Friday, which allows me flexibility throughout the day to serve families in my area for short visits or walks. Weekends are wide open for longer visits or even overnight stays! I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in all my pet sitting services. Your pets deserve a secure and loving space, and I ensure they receive the highest level of care and attention while you’re away. My back yard is fully fenced as well. You can rest easy knowing that your furry friends are in safe hands.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, since I was 19 years old. Prior to working with Rite Aid, I gained excellent pet care experience by working at a veterinary hospital and doggy day care center. Plus, neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets because they trust that I do a good job. Currently unemployed, I spend most of my time at home, playing, feeding and spending lots of time with my cat while looking for another job. By providing daily walks and occasional bath times, I can keep your pet safe and happy while keeping them in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs. I work from home full time and have a large backyard. I can provide a minimum of 1 long walk each day, with frequent breaks out back. I have no other pets and no other people in my home. I have a fenced in yard and am here most of the time each day.
About: Hi, I’m Gina! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from cats and dogs to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I meet them where they are with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a safe, stress-free experience while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just keeping them company, your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I work remotely most of the time, so I’m available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. Your pet will have plenty of company, and even when I do step out, it's never for more than a few hours at a time. I’m also available for early morning and evening care to fit your pets routine. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow detailed instructions closely to keep routines consistent—whether that’s meal schedules, medications, playtime, or crate training. I make sure pets feel secure and supported while you’re away, and I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind.
“Emma was wonderful! We met at the house for a meet and greet and my dogs did not want her to leave. She was punctual with her visits and took excellent care of my dogs. I was able to go away without worrying they would be well cared for. Thanks so much Emma!”
“Lesa was very attentive to my kitty, and I'm so grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and had some time to play. She was so helpful either doing little chores while away, and also providing pictures of her visit.”

Elsmere pet parents share their Rover experiences
I reached out to Madelyn not too long before a long trip because my usual pet sitter was not available. She was fantastic! Lots of cute pictures and videos and some notes. Leia had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend her to friends and will come back in the future.
Toni was very communicative during the entire process and I knew that Batman was in good hands. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day of how he was doing. I wouldn't hesitate to use Rover again or have Toni take care of Batman anytime. I really was thankful for how easy it all was.
Caroline is so sweet! Her love for animals is apparent and she takes special care of your furry friend. My dog Obi adores Caroline and they have so much fun playing together. There is plenty of love and snuggles given as well! She does a fantastic job giving a summary of the visit and I love seeing the photos. I know when I booked with Caroline that Obi will be well taken care of!
How lucky was I to find Eve, 🍀 While we were away she took excellent care of our cat, she provided updates, pictures and videos after each visit She coaxed him out of hiding and spent time with him during each visit I would highly recommend Eve and plan on using her again when we go away.
Alex was exactly what Little Bear and I needed for this weekend! I needed to go out of town for work and Alex was definitely a kind kindred spirit who both Little Bear and I welcomed and felt extremely comfortable with. After going through nightmares with cat sitting services, I believe Little Bear and I have found our forever cat sitter! She did an awesome job, her communication was on point, very resourceful, she was amazing with time management and most importantly my Little Bear felt comfortable with her from the very beginning! He didn't have to warm up to her and came out during our initial meeting. Alex, thank you so much we are so happy to have you as part of our care team!
Let me tell you, if Shanisa has time to take care of your pet, you should jump at the chance. She has worked with my pups for months now and the improvement in my little dogs social skills have improved significantly! She takes so much pride in their improvements and I’m so grateful!
