“Kristen is incredible! She takes such good care of the pups, is always responsive, and leaves a great impression on the pups every time she visits. We will absolutely be booking with Kristen in the future.”
“Kendall is the BEST! I can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in caring for my dog. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats the dogs under her care like her own. She is so reliable and organized, communicative, and thoughtful. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She also takes extra time to make sure my dog is comfortable, happy, and well exercised, and even brings her bones. We are lucky to have Kendall in our life!”
“Allison was great with her drop-ins for my two cats. She made the effort to find my shy cat and play with the other high energy one every time. Helped clean up any messes including the mouse my cats caught! On time and communication was easy, highly recommended.”
“Jake took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. He sent nice updates and observations so we knew just what was going on at home. And he tailored his dog walking to match our dogs’ style. Great to work with.”
“A friend recommended Leanne, and I'm so glad she did! Leanne was able to meet my dogs before the date I had requested her to drop in to feed them and let them out for awhile. We had a lovely chat about each of the dogs. During the two visits she made to check on my dogs, she sent notes and lots of pictures that I viewed on the Rover app. I was able to enjoy my day visiting my son without worrying about the dogs.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keara was awesome! She totally got our orange kitties and their different personalities. Great communication and super easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking her again—she’s our go-to sitter!”
“Laura was so wonderful! She gave updates every visit and was so great with my cat. I have never used a cat sitter before as I recently adopted, but will continue to use Laura in the future!”
“Always reliable Maeghan takes excellent care of my tuxedo kitty. Great communication. She shows in so many ways she loves her job and cares above and beyond for our pets.”
“Shauna is great! She’s been really helpful in integrating our puppy into our home and getting him on a schedule. She’s wonderful with Ducky, our 4 1/2 month old handful. She’s punctual, communicative, and specifically works on the things Ducky needs help with. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.
“Carey provided detailed daily updates - the best updates we’ve gotten from a pet sitter. She was very responsive in all communication. I knew our kitty was well cared for while we were away and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Heather sat for my cat Ivory in my home for 4 days while I was out of town. She is an excellent sitter and took very good care of Ivory. Heather fed Ivory, made sure she had plenty of water and cleaned her litter box as needed. She also spent much time playing with Ivory, which I know Ivory loves. Heather also helped with a minor flea problem Ivory is having. I highly recommend Heather and will book her again when needed.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog my whole life. I recently got a puppy so I can take care of younger and older dogs! Family and friends have relied on me for care for years. I will be in Malvern PA staying with family on break from Virginia Tech from May 14ish to May 25ish. Let’s talk about scheduling! I also provide babysitting services!!! I love kids I will take great care of your dog or cat, and can work with animals of all ages. I love to take care of pets!
About: I've been caring for dogs since 2017 when I began watching my roommates two large dogs. I adopted my sweet Pit-bull, Speck in 2019 and had her until 2023 when she was unfortunately put down. As her mobility began to decline, I developed more patience and became better with time management. I am happy to sacrifice for a pet that requires me getting up extra early, taking things slow, or even carrying them upstairs. I work FT onsite M-F, but will always prioritize a pet that I'm watching. Fortunately my work is flexible and I am able to drop in during my break to take the dog(s) out. Pets are welcome on the furniture as it's covered. My two cats are kept in a different room while other pets are staying with me. There are child locks on the cabinets in the kitchen as my cats are tricksters. The neighborhood is quiet so there shouldn't be much noise if your pet is anxious.

Nicole is an expert cat sitter. She is reliable, provides great updates on my cats well being and also makes recommendations for enhanced care both whole i am home and at home. Most importantly spends quality time with my cat. He is always a happy boy upon my return.
Caroline was amazing with our 3 kitties. She took great care of them, kept us updated and sent the cutest pictures. We have one male cat who can be a little tricky, but he took a liking to her very quickly and she knew how to handle him. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter.
