Pet Sitting Gap

“Lila is amazing! She took such good care of our pumpkin and put me at ease knowing pumpkin was in good hands! Lila listened and did everything I described from Pumpkin’s routine. We will be using Lila again soon and Pumpkin can’t wait to see her new Bestie💚”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is, my enthusiasm to get all of your animals outside having as much fun as we possibly can! I have been taking care of my own dogs for the past 4 years. Including giving medication, nail trimmings and everything else that comes along with being a pet parent! Pet care fits into my everyday routine because, I am currently taking care of 4 puppies for my grandparents. As well as helping my grandparents out with whatever they need assistance on. I will do whatever you ask me to do to care for your animals the right way! I will also make sure they get plenty of outside time to get that energy out!

About: I've vulanteered at lamacha and greenmore farms shelter! I also own a working breed shepherd! Which means I love high working breeds and I have worked with a certified dog trainer who works in behavioral and obedience who I can clarify is very good who I shadowed with :) I have always struggled to fit in with the current job market my autism has never fit in with them whether it's a job I picked up after more then one day or taken me two but I have discovered I do better in pet vulanteering and pet care and after a kennel job that was good for me but not good enough for them I decided I would do better as my own managment especially as a at home dog mom that struggles but I would love to care for your pet and if you are willing to give someone new a shot I am always and will be a genuine honest person to you and your pets and give them love and affection that will leave them happy and tails wagging for your return :) I will give you daily updates whenever you ask videos you name it i am very big on medication if you say your dog needs it at a specific time and I take honesty very VERY seriously if you have specific requirements I will take it largely as I have worked in a kennel and know not all dogs are the same personalities schedule wise and just owning a German shepherd has made me learn that if you have any questions I will be completely willing to answer!

“Rachel was prompt, so very calming and comfortable with our nervous pup. This was Rachel’s second stop in and you could see how comfortable our pup was with her.”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for five years. Throughout my life I have always loved animals and growing up on a small farm fostered that love. I have experience: 💊 Administering medication 🧹 Cleaning up accidents 🐶 Working with shy rescues and nervous dogs I am certified in dog grooming as well, and I am excited to continue my love of animals with your pet! I am currently working almost full-time. Pet care fits into my evenings and early mornings, or weekends best. Visits during the day will be limited, but I can fit it into my schedule if possible! At this time, I am not taking pets into my home, but I am excited to care for your pet in your own home where they are most comfortable! When inviting me in: ✅ I will respect any and all rules given and leave your home as you left it. ✅ I will make sure I understand all boundaries you set for your home and pet. ✅ I will listen and acknowledge any questions or concerns you may have. My goal is to make this pet sitting experience as comfortable and stress free as I can for you- and your pet!

“Kathleen is amazing and is so great with Artie! She gives him all the love and attention when we can’t be there and puts our mind at ease knowing he’s in good hands!”

About: Hi! My name is Te'Ana, usually and preferably I go by T. I’ve taken care of and (moderately) trained dogs of all kinds for over 20 years now. I love all fur babies like they are my own and hope to add yours to my guest list. Message me so I may learn about the ways you communicate and about the specific likes and dislikes that both of you have. Your dogs stay will be customized care based on his/her personality and needs. I typically take on as many furry friends as possible in regards to my schedule. I’m experienced as a sitter for all breeds. I understand the needs of each and upon initial request and drop off I will ask you many questions to make your dogs stay as similar to home as possible. I want my space to be the epitome of a home away from home for your pup. I currently host pups and have plenty of time to care, play and love on all of my guest. I am available to Boarding, Day care and pick up your pups Only. I have enough space and time that I host boarding for 2-3families and conduct daycare for a few pups more at a time for weekdays and weekends. I have a completely fenced back yard and a very energetic pup (Dutchess) to keep your pup company during his/her stay. For those puppy parents crate training their pups I do have additional crates upon request.

“Kaela was punctual and showed genuine interest in my cats' well-being, including my finicky senior cat.”

About: I’ve taken care of large (120lb+) dogs for a good chunk of my life, as well as medium and small senior dogs. I have extensive experience with cats, especially timid anxious kitties. I also have experience with small animals such as ferrets, hamsters, and rats! There’s no animal that I will not care for and enjoy every second of it I currently work a part time job 9am-1pm, home by 1:15pm. Back in the car heading to pick up my kid by 3:40pm, home by 4:30pm. Available most of the day every Saturday from 9am-3:40. Unavailable Wednesday and Sunday. Having 3 fur babies myself I’m well equipped in calm animal care, currently having a anxious cat myself I am well mannered with boundaries and body language, I have the ability to slip in, scoop boxes, fill bowls, and sneaks out. But also spend as much time as your fur babies might need with them. I am also experienced with dog sitting and walking, having dog sat for multiple breeds of dog and living with a large dog; I’m equipped to walk multiple medium/small or a large dog.

“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

“Casey is great with our kitties, and we really appreciate the good care she provides them when we’re away! She follows all instructions and takes lots of great pics that are a joy to see every day when we’re on vacation and missing them. We definitely recommend her for other cat parents!”

About: I have had my home base business for over 20 years and I'm looking to try something new. I have been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have 3 small dogs. I have ample time and desire to be a pet/house sitter on Rover. I love all pets, especially dogs and cats. Not a big fan of snakes. Please reach out to me, lets chat. My work is seasonal, meaning I mostly work from Spring to Fall. WIth my season coming to an end, I am looking to branch out and try something new. I have always loved animals so Rover seems like a great fit. I have a lot of free time heading into the winter. I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle so snow and ice wont stop me. I have 3 dogs. One is 13, one is 2 and the baby is 11 months. I also have 2 grown children who live at home. When I am at home working, my dogs are the shop with me. My shop is a 2 car garage and a fenced in yard. They stay outside with me most of the day with 2 breaks for naps in their private room. In the summer, they have a pool and plenty of shade. Their safely and comfort is important to me as is their need for play time, walks and lots of hugs and scratches. I am used to having a puppy around and cleaning up messes. As your pet sitter, I will never bring my dogs along with me. They have a dad at home to take care of them. My schedule is very flexible and I understand the need for help with pets. My seasonal job requires me to travel in the summer and getting pet sitters is sometimes tricky. I guess I should say, getting a trust worthy pet sitter who is going to deliver on her promises can be tricky.

“Allison was fantastic!! Very reliable! She sends pictures of the fur babies everyday! You can tell she loves your pets and is compassionate about taking great care of them! Will definitely book her again! Thanks Allison!!”

“Noelle accepted a very last minute request for a late evening drop in for my dogs. She quickly replied and went out of her way to do a meet and greet with me and my pups that same-day. She was on time for the drop in and spent a good amount of time showing my babies some love. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I was born and raised in Chester County on a horse farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, goats, sheep, dogs, and cats. I’ve bottle-fed kittens and baby goats, administered medications, cared for senior pets, and looked after animals with special needs. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for friends, neighbors, and clients throughout the community, many of whom have trusted me with their pets for multiple years. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m currently a college student taking online classes, so I spend most of my time at home. My flexible schedule means I can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day! I’m available for walks and drop-ins most weekdays and weekends, open for boarding or extended stays. For boarding, I currently accept cats only and provide them with a quiet, comfortable space where they can feel safe and relaxed. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I welcome pets of all sizes and breeds. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

“This is he first time we have ever left our dogs with someone other than our parents. We were extremely nervous, even though this was just a drop in visit. Alyssa met with us the day before and we loved her interactions with the dogs. We knew she would be a good fit. She sent pictures while she was at the house which made us so happy! She spent about an hour at our house even though a visit is technically a half hour. We couldn’t have appreciated that more. I expected her to just let the dogs out back to go run and use the potty but she even played with them. We would recommend her to others and would use her again!”

About: I’ve had a dog for 7 years and have experience pet sitting for family friends. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I would love to give your pets the same attention and affection I give my own! I’m a college student and work part time. On my free time I want to pet sit. My schedule is irregular but I can plan ahead and work with the pet owner! I have experience feeding pets, taking them outside throughout the day, and keeping their food bowls full. I also cared for my own small dog by bathing her, brushing her teeth, and cleaning her ears. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being.
