“Gabrielle did a great job with Maggie! Gabrielle is very responsive and easy to work with. Maggie got lots of exercise and I got lots of pictures. I would definitely use Gabrielle again!”


“Mason did a great job dropping in to take care of our three cats and our dog over Memorial Day weekend while we were away. He was especially patient with our dog who can have a bit of anxiety - this was our first extended time away from her. Mason was diligent in communicating with us and checked in to provide updates with each time he came over to feed the cats and take the dog for a walk. It was a very good experience with our first time hiring a pet sitter and we would 10/10 book with Mason again. He was very flexible and open to a last minute request over this holiday weekend.”


“Haileigh was so nice and flexible. She was very responsible and easy towards work with. Will definitely book again! Thank you!!”


“Monica was extremely kind and professional when taking care of our golden. She was very respectful while staying in our home. She kept our pup safe and gave us plenty of updates on their time together. Would definitely recommend to a friend!”


“Like every other time I've used her my dogs are happy and well taken care of. Will use her again and continue to recommend her to anyone I can”


“Kailey was very attentive to Roman. She sent constant photos and updates about my dog that made me feel very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of. She took care of my apartment and I have no complaints. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”


“Alec was truly amazing with my dogs. It was the first time leaving them with anyone but a family member in a very long time, and I was very nervous. Alec made sure he understood my expectations and he was super communicative and sent lots of pics. He was even prepared and willing to handle a small health issue that presented itself while we were gone. He even tidied up the house before leaving for the final time! Alec is a keeper, and we will definitely be requesting him again.”


About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with two lovable Goldendoodles of my own. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me—I’m the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, and I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or full house sitting, you can count on me for reliable, loving care and a tidy home when you return. I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to care for pets around my classes and part-time job. My love for animals means I’m always happy to make time for furry friends—whether it’s quick check-ins, walks, or extended stays. With me, your pets will get reliable, loving care and lots of attention. I am a very kind and compassionate person. I have two dogs that I spoil and know what animals need to be happy. I have dog sat for many family and friends throughout the years and never have any problems or struggles with the animals.

“So sweet and very welcoming/patient to my little old guy! Would recommend her over and over.”


“Will did a wonderful job with Rookie. I could not have been more impressed with the care Will provided. I highly recommend Will to anyone in need of care for their furry kids.”

About: I've watched many animals throughout my lifetime and I love doing it! I'm a full time student majoring in Animal Science. I am more than willing to bathe, walk, feed, and play with any animal that needs it. I am also available for overnight stays for long periods of time or just quick check-ins if needed. I am available on short notice Mondays and Tuesdays, I do need one week notice on any other days. Thanks for considering me! I have a part time job Wednesday-Sunday from 2pm-12am, although, if your pet needs attention, with a week notice I am able to make sure I can take care of your fur baby! I am also full time student but I am off for summer break for the time being, so I have more than enough time to take care of your pet(s)! I have one senior dog who is very anxious and isn't very dog friendly, so I will not be able to take any dogs into my home, but my dog gives me experience in working with anxious dogs.

About: Friends and family have long trusted me with their pet care. I have experience with handling large dogs, and multiple dogs at once including walking and feeding I am not currently working, so pet care can be my top priority! I will be leaving for college in the fall so I am looking to book over summer vacation and school breaks. I have 4 cats of my own, so I do not offer pet care in my home. However, I have complete availability for drop in visits or even full time care in clients home.


“Deanna is a GEM, and I am over the moon that she took such good care of my dog. In fact, my neighbor told me how she saw Deanna walking my dog and saw her "taking great care of him". Wow! I can't wait to book her in the future. Highly recommended”


“Allison was fantastic and truly cared about the dogs. She kept me updated on how they were doing, spent lots of time at the house with them, and followed my directions to a T. We’ve already rebooked her, and are hoping we’ve found our permanent sitter!”


“Our pups and kitties loved Ashley! They all seemed so relaxed when we came home from our trip. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need to go away. Thanks so much Ashley!!”


About: Growing up, we have always had cats in the house. I know how to cater to all of their needs, as well as just hanging out and playing with them. We have had kittens all the way to senior cats. My grandparents have always been dog owners. I would spend weekends with their dogs while they were away, and love all animals. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have tons of time to spend time with your pets! I am looking to make some money for a study abroad trip, and will be available most of the week at all times for service! For my cats, I am willing to do anything to make them comfortable and happy in my home. I change their litter, play with them, and just hangout with them. When it comes to dogs, while I have not had one of my own, I love all animals and I want them to be happy, especially while their parents are away. I will provide excellent care to any pet in any home! Because of our cats, I cannot bring any client's pets into my home, but I can travel to your home.

“Amel was great!!! I could tell she is definitely an animal lover and made sure to give Juice all the attention he needed (which is a lot). She was also super responsive punctual!”


About: I’ve always had pets around growing up, such as Great Danes, mastiffs, and birds. I have 3 years of experience working with dementia patients and a degree in health science. In the past, I’ve volunteered at forgotten felines. I have worked at a pet store as well. One of my most rewarding experiences on Rover was with a repeat client whose two energetic pups I cared for several times over a few months. I’m now ready to open up my calendar more consistently and connect with new families who need a reliable, friendly sitter they can count on! I am free most of the week. I am available to watch your pets weekdays and weekends at the moment. I can stay with your pets for most of the time. I will always give your pet attention and plenty of play time and love, along with some outside time and/or walks. I would love to make new consistent connections!

About: What sets me apart is my pawsitive approach to pet care and my deep understanding of animal behavior, thanks to both hands-on experience and professional training. I’m a proud graduate of the Dog Grooming School of Pennsylvania, which not only sharpened my grooming skills but also taught me how to read canine body language, manage different temperaments, and create a calm, safe environment for pets of all ages. I specialize in puppy basics—like crate training, potty routines, and leash manners—as well as senior pet care, including medication reminders, slow strolls, and plenty of comfort-focused attention. I bring a lot of patience, love, and structure to every visit, ensuring your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet will always be surrounded by Pawsitive energy, gentle care, and a true love for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and manage grooming clients on the side. This gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to play, snuggle, and care for your fur babies throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet becomes part of my day, not just part of my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of the pack! I have very friendly, playful pups who love making new friends, and we have about 1 acre of fully fenced-in yard for safe exploring and zoomies. There are doggie pools, toys, and lots of fun enrichment activities to keep your fur baby happy, active, and entertained. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own—whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or nap time, they’ll always feel safe and right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and comfortable for them. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved, no matter where they are!
