“Lorrie was wonderful. She took such good care of our cat. I was so nervous to leave her but I knew I could trust Lorrie. Ali took to her right away! She played with her, gave her treats, and just took the BEST care. We will be booking with her again! Thank you so much!!!!”
“We are so grateful for Sadie allowing us to have a FULL day out without a worry about our buddy Dobby. She was even kind enough to come back later in the day when our plans ran longer. He was so well cared for and I am so thankful for Sadie’s attentiveness, promptness, and for snuggling our fur baby. Highly recommend Sadie to help with your furry children!!!!!”
“Brandy was great! She regularly sent updates and sent pictures! She was flexible with scheduling, and even with last minute changes (we stayed away longer and added more visits, and she was totally accommodating). 100% recommend!”
“Sandy took great care of my cats. I received daily updates with photos. We had a family emergency and it was such a relief to know my kitties were well taken care of!”
“Lori was great! She was very informative with her updates and sent great pictures during her visits. Having a new puppy, she put my mind at ease! I wiii definitely be asking Lori to care for our babies again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Molly was really great! Our two pets loved her and she gave them lots of attention, while being very detailed and diligent each visit. We’ll look forward to having her back again! Thanks Molly!”
“Teresa was great! She came right when she said she would and followed our directions. Our cats were comfortable with her and were well taken care of.”
“Tracy is a very nice, punctual, good with detail oriented person. Having a dog who is epileptic (seizures) can be very stressful at times, especially going on vacation. But finding that right person can make everything feel at ease. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“This was our second time booking with Kristen, and once again, she was amazing! She stepped in last minute, just a day before, and gave our dogs the same love and care as always. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her, even on short notice. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Sarah was great! It is never easy leaving your pets behind but Sarah helped me feel at ease with it. My dog had a good time with her and even my elderly cat popped out to say hi. Sarah communicated well and truly cares about animals.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She made me feel at ease with being away for a few days. She even had her kids, who helped me learn that Cole is a good boy around children. She was so informative and sent the best pictures!! Highly recommend her, and Cole was so happy!! Thank you again for such a pleasant experience”
“Brooke was wonderful. She took the time prior to the check-in date to meet me and my dog. I could tell he instantly felt very comfortable and relaxed around Brooke who has a very pleasant and friendly demeanor. On the day of the check-in she arrived on time, did all I asked her to do and sent a nice report card with pictures. It was comforting knowing that my puppy was in good hands. I highly recommend Brooke.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Tina was great with my cat! I really appreciated the comments/blurbs she left on the Rover cards with each drop in visit (both good and bad things that occurred during the visits) as well as including multiple photos of my cat so I didn't get too homesick (catsick?) while out of town ?. I could definitely tell from the photos that my cat was very comfortable with her and received lots of love and attention while I was away. Thank you Tina for giving me a very positive first experience with Rover! ❤ Would definitely recommend!”
“Lauren was amazing and prompt and gave my kitties the best care while I was away. I trusted her wholeheartedly and I plan to use her again in the future. I looked forward to the pictures she sent me with each visit. I could not recommend her more!”
About: Hello! My name is Lisandra and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since my teenage years I have been taking care of dogs as I grew up in a household with a Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Once I moved on my own I decided to continue that care by becoming a dog mom myself. Over the last 15 years I have been a dog mom to 2 wonderful dogs! At the moment, I have my Boston Terrier lover boy Scooby who is a spoiled happy boy. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet’s while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week and can provide doggy day care from 8am-6pm on those 7 days. To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, regular exercise with a 15 min daily walk 2 times a day (once in the afternoon and once in the evening), access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, plenty of attention and play time as well as a in home play mate! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.
“Kayla is detail oriented and clearly loves animals. We had a great meet and greet where she took notes, and she was very patient with my high energy dog. She filled out the rover card with very pertinent details and supplied several photos. I look forward to having her back and would happily recommend her to any other doggy family!!”
About: I have a B.S. in Animal Science from Delaware Valley University and have lots of experience working with and owning all types of animals, from huge horses to tiny fish. No animal is a challenge, and I hope to meet them all! I know Rover does not offer “exotic” animal (rabbits, reptiles, fish, etc) or livestock (horses, cattle, chickens, etc) pet-sitting, but I understand that lots of people have more than one pet, so feel free to ask about my exotic animal pet sitting as well and we can figure it out! My weekly schedule changes all the time, but I always have weekends and a few days here and there to do whatever you need for your precious pet! I will always, no matter how difficult or unique, do whatever is needed to make sure your precious pets are cared for in the most loving and safest way. Nothing is too much for me, and I will always communicate with you!
“Olivia was wonderful with our dogs. She really goes over and beyond what you ask her for your pet care. There was never a moment that I was concerned our two dogs were getting love, care and attention. She keeps you updated with messages and pictures for each visit. I would highly recommend Olivia! And we will be reaching out to her again to take care of Eden and Nailee.”

Brooke was very kind and patient with our two kitties, who are very nervous around new people. She sent photo updates and was very thorough.
Thank you for taking care of my pets! I know Cody can be difficult at the beginning so I appreciate you sticking with us.
Hana provided exceptional care for Pasha and Benny. From the initial consultation, it was evident that she is dedicated to providing the best care and enjoyed spending time with my cats while I was gone. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates and photos, which provided peace of mind. Upon return, the cats were happy and healthy. Hannah is professional, attentive to detail, and clearly has a special touch with cats. I would definitely recommend Hana to take of anyone's kitties.
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She made me feel at ease with being away for a few days. She even had her kids, who helped me learn that Cole is a good boy around children. She was so informative and sent the best pictures!! Highly recommend her, and Cole was so happy!! Thank you again for such a pleasant experience
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.
10/10! + 1! Josie is reliable, communicative and thoughtful. Used multiple times for long trips away from 4 cats. Recommend her for multi-cat homes!
Sydney did an excellent job with my cat Zoe, who didn’t seem as stressed out when I got home as she sometimes gets when I’m away. Kudos to Sydney for also keeping up with Zoe’s medications for me - pills and ear drops (twice per day).
