“I've met Kat twice so far for my dog (and me) to get to know her, she's very reassuring and I feel comfortable having her stay here when I go on vacation. I cant wait to finally get to go on vacation!!! ☺”


“Shona did a wonderful job with her drop-in visits with my Cat. Her timing each day was consistent, my house was kept just as I left it, and she even made sure that my Chewy order made it inside; and got rid of the packing!! I would recommend Shona for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs, including dogs, cats. I lived on a farm for many years, which gave me extensive hands-on experience with animals and taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and attentive care. I have been dog sitting for years, caring for everything from young puppies to senior dogs. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and dogs with medical needs and understand the extra attention, consistency, and compassion they may require. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. My flexible routine also allows me to be available for pets who need extra care, attention, or a consistent schedule. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I provide plenty of love, companionship, and patience. I also keep the home clean and tidy and communicate with owners so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Ella was great — she was able to help us out on very short notice, was a great communicator, sent great updates, and most importantly was great with Koda!! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future”


“Very responsive and sent me a picture. Great walker! Zoë was great when I came back despite the long day in the crate for her and only one walk. He didn’t mind that she had a broken toe and cone of shame.”

“Kevin is great! He took care of our two dogs over a holiday and was right on time, always left an update, and the dogs seem to be happy! I would recommend Kevin to take care of anybody’s pets.”

About: My husband and I are full time, insured dog professionals offering a multitude of dog services (boarding, day care, training, transport, import). I have cared for everything from Frenchies to Malinois to Mastiffs. We live on a farmette and our back yard backs up to our pastures for our pigs, sheep, chickens and horses, so your pups will always have something interesting to look at! I understand the need for consistency with all dogs and my current clients love coming to their farm vacations because of it! We provide a huge fenced yard that was fenced specifically for dogs with three board wood and pet fencing in between, as well as a separate quiet room that the dogs stay in while unable to be watched for their safety (we do have air conditioning in our home since that is a frequently asked question for the brachycephalic breeds). We never have unfamiliar dogs alone together and each dog family has their own space to be able to rest, relax and eat between being outside and playing alone or in a group depending on their needs. Boarding with us provides you with the professionalism and safety of a kennel but the personal touch and care of a home while you are away. Chews, toys and treats are provided with owner approval and photos and videos are sent on a regular basis if you want to ensure your babies are having a blast at “camp”. I am home all day and able to meet the needs of puppies or senior dogs who need frequent outdoor time and I am able to give all other dogs ample outdoors time, either alone or with my very friendly Chessie as a playmate. My husband and I are experienced with all behavior types, and monitor all interactions to ensure your dog is safe and enjoying social time. During busy seasons, we can accommodate multiple clients as long as everyone is friendly. I also have the ability to take reactive dogs and give them plenty of alone time both inside and outside. No dogs are ever left unmonitored while outside or while interacting with other dogs if they are able to do so. Health and safety is the first priority with fullilment being a close second! I am a full time dog professional, so your dog won’t ever be unattended for long periods of time (if ever). Dogs are our priority from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. Please also note that our drop off times are between the hours of 830am and 7pm and by scheduled appointment only- this allows us time to complete our morning routine the day of check in and ensure your pups are coming into a quiet and relaxed environment. Pick up times are more flexible, but we do not do any pick ups later than 9pm most nights and also need to be scheduled, thank you! Please note in the upcoming holiday season: I do not offer drop off or pick up times on major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, NYE, New Year’s Day) but we do offer boarding over those holidays! thank you for understanding! I have a large fenced yard and can provide your dog with other doggy playmates, but I can also accommodate dogs who don’t enjoy other canine companions or only prefer humans. I have the ability to safely crate dogs who do best in crates, and separate everyone for naps/feeding etc. During times that I am unable to monitor our dogs, all of them are separated to ensure that all interactions are able to be regulated and safe (my dogs are crated at night and while I am gone).

About: 15 years caring for my family dog and now my own dog, plus regular walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for neighbors, friends, and family pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of every size. Millie, the Bernese Mountain Dog you’ll see in my photos, is my boyfriend’s dog; she lives at his house, not mine, but I walk and care for her often, and at over 100 pounds she’s proof that a big dog who pulls or needs a confident handler is no problem for me. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, managing leash-reactive dogs on walks, and handling standard crate and feeding routines. I keep detailed notes on each pet’s needs and I always have your vet’s information on hand in case of an emergency. At home it’s just me and Hank, my golden retriever. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with grassy areas, sidewalks for walking, and a designated pet relief area right outside. Hank is friendly with other dogs, so I’ll be upfront about whether your pet would be a good match before booking. I work from home on a standard weekday schedule, so I’m available for early morning visits before 9, midday walks and drop-ins, and evenings. Weekends are wide open. I can usually accommodate same-day requests; just message me. Safety Your pet’s safety comes first in every decision I make. I keep dogs leashed and harnessed any time we’re outside my apartment, including in hallways, elevators, and the lobby, since other residents and dogs come around corners without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust; short routes and shaded paths in heat, and salt-free surfaces and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I collect your vet’s name and number, an emergency contact, and any medical history I should know about, including allergies, medications, and reactivity around other dogs. If anything seems wrong, you’ll hear from me immediately. Trust I’m a full-time HR professional, so handling sensitive information carefully is already how I work. I treat your keys, door codes, and home the same way. Keys are labeled with your pet’s name only, never an address or unit number, and they’re stored securely at my place when I’m not using them. I send photos and an update after every single visit, so you always know exactly what happened and when. I don’t bring anyone along on visits, and I don’t share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If plans change on my end, you’ll hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Lansdale with sidewalks, grassy areas, and a designated pet relief area just outside the building. My own dog, Hank, lives here with me, and I’m upfront about whether he’s a good match for your pet before I accept a booking. My home is dog-proofed already; trash is secured, cords are tucked away, and anything unsafe stays out of reach. In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and thermostat.
“Even after a snowstorm, Brooke showed up for my two cats! Very dependable and great communication! I used Rover because my original sitter bailed at the last minute. It was easy to set up and communicate with people nearby to help out! Brooke came through first and I was so relieved! I am so grateful and would definitely ask her again!”


“Erin was great for us. We had never used Rover before booking with Erin so we were not sure what to expect but she went over everything before hand and set up a meet and greet which was very reassuring. Erin was super thoughtful and thorough throughout which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely rebook with Erin in the future as she was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”

We will definitely be repeat customers.”

About: What sets me apart is my diverse experience with dogs, cats, birds, and goats. Growing up on a homestead, I developed a deep love for animals. I’ve administered medications, worked in a petting zoo teaching safe animal interactions, and truly enjoy making pets feel loved and supported while their owners are away. As someone who works locally at a church from 8:30 to 5 and lives just down the road, I have plenty of time in the mornings to care for your pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was just 6 years old—whether it was my own pup or a neighbor’s. That early experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand different personalities in dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with puppies who need consistency and training, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy every time we’re together. As a full-time student, I’ve built my schedule to make plenty of room for pet care. I’m available on weekdays after 5 PM, which is perfect for evening walks or playtime. Fridays I’m completely free in both the morning and evening, and I’m totally available on weekends. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the time, energy, and attention they deserve—whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I always double-check doors, leashes, and gates to ensure pets stay safe. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect as I do my own.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harleysville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
