Chantel has great communication skills and left my home just how I left it. I really felt like my puppy was taken care of. Will be booking again.

Rita was amazing with our fur babies! We came home to them being stress free and happy! All three of them have different personalities and Rita was able to give them each the attention they needed. Rita communicated with me several times daily to put me at ease. It felt so good to find an in home pet sitter to keep the fur babies anxiety free!

We're fairly new to PA & needed someone to come house sit with our dog & cat while on vacation. Melisha was available during our anticipated days away & from her profile/bio she seemed a good fit. I booked a meet-n-greet & while speaking with her in person, I knew she was THE one to watch Gunther & Honey. She's very personable, very knowledgeable, and experienced. I had requested she send daily pictures & updates, & that's exactly what she did - kept in daily communication (unlike other sitters I've had in the past). She also walked Gunther daily, & fed him at my requested times to keep his schedule as close to normal as possible. I will be booking Melisha again to watch our fur babies during future trips out of town! She was excellent, & I highly recommend her!!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for different family members and friends. Your animals would get plenty of attention and love with me. I wake up at 6 am. My week days vary from having class from 9-11 MWF, Tuesday at 2, and Thursday at 11. I live off campus about 3 minutes away, so I can easily check in/take out the pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is plenty of grass and a park within walking distance. I am more comfortable walking with a leash unless there is a fenced in yard. My apartment has 1 roommate and plenty of space for dogs/cats to roam or lay down.

About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a veterinary technician, with the long-term goal of becoming a veterinarian. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to reflect my availability, though occasional changes may come up. I always encourage clients to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and ensure the best care for your fur baby! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.

About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.

Kerri is the BEST! She stayed at our house for over a week taking care of our dog and cat. Because our dog is large (70lbs) and sometimes anxious/reactive, it can be difficult to find a sitter that is a good fit. Kerri came prepared, asked lots of questions, sent daily updates, and our dog loved her. We will definitely book Kerri again -- highly recommended!

Delaney did an amazing job with our dogs and chickens while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures during the week, and kept us posted. The house was just as clean when we came home is when we left it. Our dogs were happy, their water bowl was filled, the mail was put on our kitchen table, along with a couple of packages. Next time we go away, I will definitely contact Delaney again.

This is our second time using Lauren and once again she was fantastic. She went above and beyond for our doggies and kitties. Lauren kept us updated with lots of pictures. Our animals love Lauren because she treats them like her own and follows their routines and understands their personalities 😊❤️. I would highly recommend Lauren and plan on having her again very soon.

About: We currently have 2 Dogs, 1 cat, and 2 kids. I have had animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 3 poms and multiple cats. I have handled ALL different types of dogs through family and friends. Would also be willing to take care of other pets if needed. We currently foster cats and walk dogs when able through spca. I have delt with young pups to seniors with mediation. I love all animals and take care of them like my own. I can be flexable. I am a stay at home dad with my daughter and son who is currently in cyber school. Going on walks around the area or to the park to play are some easy ideas. Love walking or jogging a pet if they are up for it. I can drop in, take them for a walk, play with them at the park, play in home or back yard or whatever you/they need.
