“Tara is absolutely amazing every single time! She takes the best care of our huskies and is attentive to their needs. She is our first choice every time as my fur babies absolutely love her. I know they are in the best hands possible when Tara is taking care of them!!”
“Andrea surpassed *every* expectation we had for our three cats. She didn’t just get our shy girl to come out of hiding, but she even got her to engage and moreover, she’s actually a braver kitten than *before* we left. She followed all our instructions, communications were always timely and thorough. She did an amazing job of giving the flavor and tenor of the interactions between her and our fur friends, and also how they were interacting with each other in our absence. Andrea is a consummate professional and I can’t say enough good things about our experience! She’s now our go-to when we need to travel.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful!! She paid such great attention to details, was so informative, showed up like clockwork, and loved Peanut like she was her own. I even caught her on my Ring saying goodbye and I love you to Peanut. I couldn't be happier with Jessica. She even brought in our mail & package and laid it nicely on the countertop! I could go on and on, suffice it to say she's a Rare GEM!!”
“Mary watched our dog while we were out of the country. She provided regular detailed updates and multiple pictures and videos. We felt at ease knowing how much fun he was having and knowing he was in great hands!”
“Abby is great!! She stopped in to let my eight week old puppy Luna out. She was prompt and very responsive! She was even willing to stay a little longer to make sure Luna was taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!!!!”
“Madison was careful to follow my instructions and was excellent at communicating with me about my elderly dog’s care. She was respectful of my property and careful with security measures. I feel my dog was well looked after and I would definitely book Madison again.”
“Madeline dropped in every day I was out of town and spent time with my cat Kizmet. I was so anxious about leaving for a week but Madeline eased my worries and took great care , keeping me up to date and sending pictures:)”
“Claudia was amazing! She looked after our cat Poppy while we were gone and was even so gracious to bring in a couple packages while we were away. So thankful to have found her! Will definitely be booking her any time I need Poppy looked after :)”
About: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.
About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)

My dog has seizures and so does one of Gabbys pups. Having someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to seizures is very helpful and I dont feel as stressed leaving my dog alone.”

Kensington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tara is the absolute best and I will never go to anyone else. She takes such good care of my fuzzy duo and they love her to bits. She always let's us know if something seems off and is the first to act on it! I can leave the state with peace for vacations and family emergencies when Tara is around to check in on the huskies
Will was phenomenal with my girls! It was the first time I've left them home and in the care of someone checking in with them. They LOVED him and so did I! He was punctual, playful with them, and gave them lots of love and attention! I couldn't have picked a better sitter be there in my absence. Thank you so much again, Will! We are so thankful for your services and wouldn't hesitate to book you again in the future!
Lydia was great with my 2 cats. She kept in constant communication with me and made sure I was always in the loop if she had to come a little later than expected. I was nervous leaving my cats with someone else, but they really seemed to like her! Highly recommend- she really does an amazing job.
