“We have a rescue dog who doesn’t warm up to many people, and I could tell from the pictures she uploaded that my dog loves her. 100% recommend and would book Kayla again!”
“Victoria is THE BEST OF THE BEST! She is always on time and makes sure my Nala is always taken care of. She will always keep me in the loop when she notices anything. She takes Nala on the best walks, and her photo diary is LOVELY! It’s always nice to have someone you can count on to take care of your babies, and she is our one! Thank you so much!!”

About: We have had pets in our family for over 10 years. Our pets are treated like a part of our family. We take special care to make sure they get plenty of attention. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just playing with them; we give them everything they need Pet care is one of our top priorities as a household.

About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.

“I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.”

About: I love animals and have a degree in wildlife biology. We had a special needs German shepherd for nine years until her passing several years ago. As a mom of four children who are in school during the day, I have a consistent and flexible daytime schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I genuinely look forward to spending that time caring for animals—whether that’s going on walks, providing companionship, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to give dogs and cats my full attention while my kids are at school. I provide reliable drop-in visits to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay relaxed in their familiar environment. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or tidy up any messes, and keep their space clean and comfortable.

I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior and routine so I can notice anything out of the ordinary and ensure they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
“Lauren was great! I used her for a drop-visit. We did a meet and greet before she took care of Keeva. She was personable, friendly and loved on Keeva right away. I highly recommend her to care for your pet.”
“As always, Tracy took great care of our boy Logan. She’s always timely with her visits, communicates important info and sends fun pics to ease our hearts when we’re away. We truly appreciate the attentiveness and love she provides. Thank you Tracy!”
Harrisburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
She was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable, caring, and took care of everything while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well loved, and in great hands, which gave us complete peace of mind. She communicated throughout our trip and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We would not hesitate to book with her again!
She was so nice and communicative, my pets really liked her! Every drop-in she made sure to send updates with pictures and details on how they were doing, which I really appreciated. She made the whole experience stress free and I will absolutely be booking her again!😊
Great experience with amber ! Last minute booking , she came right over and introduced herself. Was on time for every visit. Did extra with our pups , truly went above and beyond. If you are looking to book with somebody , Amber is your go to. Very communicative , very knowledgeable, and passionate about all of our four legged babies ! Will be booking again !!!
Sydney was amazing with my guys! I booked last minute and she was able to still make the request work! She fed, took them out and made sure they had water! She even got my German shepherd to eat a little which he never does when I’m not there! I would definitely recommend her if you need a drop in visit!
Jazzlyn is amazing! I can't give her enough praise. My dog can be a difficult one to win over and he took to her almost immediately. She's warm, caring, responsible, trustworthy, intelligent and responsive. She's everything you could hope for to care for your family pets while you are away. Jazzlyn kept me updated every time she stopped by with pictures and notes. To add to her myriad of talents, she's also an incredible photographer. She took the most stunningly beautiful pictures of my dog and cat, that I actually changed their profile pictures on Rover using her photos. My dog is like one of my children to me and I loved having Jazzlyn care for him and same for my elderly cat, not to mention my son's turtle. She's truly a gem.
