“Jessica is very responsive to messages and takes great care of my cats. She provides a through update with pictures. It makes my time away enjoyable knowing my cats are well taken care of.”


“Elisabeth took fantastic care of our cats. She is incredibly knowledgeable about taking care of animals and we could not recommend her enough! Will definitely be booking again in the future.”


“Lauren took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! Buttercup doesn't like being left alone, but being at home with Lauren doing drop-in visits worked out fine. Loved getting pictures and updates. Would highly recommend Lauren!”


“The first time I met Mariah she was very friendly and took in all my instructions (even with all the construction chaos at our home). We have only had our boys for 8 months so I assumed they would hide everytime she came but they must have liked her because the did come out and ven played while she was here. We received pictures and updates each time she was gere which was so very comforting! Will absolutely hire her again! Thank you Mariah you were wonderful!”


“Kelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!”



“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”


“Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!”


“Erika did house sitting for our dogs, Dolly and Baxter. Erika understood and worked with their high energy and fun during those visits while we were away on vacation. We highly recommend her for any type of sitting. Thank you Erika for all your help and support with our wigglebutt kids.”


“Caitlin was great! We have an indoor/outdoor cat and she came every day to check on her to make sure everything was ok. Kept in touch and gave us updates. When we go on vacation again, we'll be reaching out. P.s. Cutie is home safe and sound ☺️”



About: Growing up, I absolutely loved animals—my family used to joke that I’d own a zoo one day! Whether it was caring for my own pets or helping animals in need, I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility and joy in making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve rescued a baby deer, birds, and multiple dogs, and each experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and gentle in all kinds of situations. I bring that same energy to pet sitting—being someone an animal can rely on, and someone owners can trust. My natural love for animals, along with my experience as a nursing student, means I’m observant, nurturing, and not afraid of a little extra care—whether that’s for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I currently work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM during the week. Evenings are a perfect time for walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with pets who need company after their owners leave for work. On weekends, I’m fully available and happy to offer boarding services, since I’ll be home and can give pets my full attention. My schedule allows for a healthy balance, so I can make sure each animal I care for gets the time, consistency, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and my experience as a nursing student—I’m naturally attentive, observant, and gentle, which carries over into how I care for animals. I’ve grown up with pets and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routines, patience, and respecting each animal’s unique personality. I’m also comfortable with both dogs and cats, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or in need of extra attention. I’m especially good with senior pets, and I’m comfortable helping with medication, special feeding routines, or mobility needs. I take pride in providing a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure—and owners can feel confident.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

“Jamie was fantastic! Answered the request for booking right away (which was great because we lost our sitter pretty last minute). She sent us pictures and notes every day. The kitties had so much fun! Thank you so much Jamie!”


About: Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime while you’re away, or an overnight stay filled with cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from hyper pups to chill seniors. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each pet I meet. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I’m your girl! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to focus on pet care. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and some holidays, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine — even on short notice. Whether it’s an early morning visit, a midday walk, or an overnight stay, I’ve got the time and attention to give your pet the consistent, loving care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own. I make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for — all while keeping things tidy and stress-free. I’m happy to help with light cleaning around the house, like sweeping up pet hair, wiping down surfaces, or tidying up after playtime or meals. For dogs, I make sure they get regular walks, bathroom breaks, and outdoor time to burn off energy and stay mentally stimulated. For all pets, I stick closely to your instructions and routines to keep things familiar and comforting for them while you’re away. You can count on me to create a calm, clean, and loving environment while you’re gone.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Currently, I have a dog that I got from a rescue over 7 years ago and he is my baby. You can trust me to take care of your dog like they are my own. I am caring and trustworthy. I have watched friends and family members pets before and looking to help out others! My current availability is mostly on weekends and holidays. During the week I am available for boarding, but I am at work full time on weekdays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to meet new friends! I have extra crates and toys if needed. I can follow your dog's schedule and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable.

“Marissa was great with Ozzy and was always on time or early to her visits. Ozzy is very shy and she got him out of his shell eventually! I came back to my house smelling super clean too so she also did a great job emptying thr litter box”


“Darrean was the most amazing pet sitter! She watched my cat for over a week when I was out of town. I’m always so nervous leaving my sweet boy, but Darrean was so communicative, flexible, and attentive that I knew my pet was in the best possible hands! I had a few things that changed while I was out of town (my building turned off water for a few hours, flight was delayed, etc.) and Darrean was so easy to work with to change drop-in times and be flexible with things I couldn’t control! I would 100% recommend Darrean ; for any of your pet care needs!!”



“Nathan took fantastic care of our dogs while we were away. He stopped in three times a day and made sure the pups were fed and got outside for a little exercise. He sent pictures of from each visit so that we knew our dogs were well. Nathan is trustworthy, responsible, and loves dogs. We highly recommend him! Thank you, Nathan!”

Lackawanna cat parents share their Rover experiences
Autumn took good care of my two kitties for drop-in visits. She followed directions well, took good pictures of the cats, and gave me short updates about the visit and the cats' activities. She was respectful of my house and property, and I definitely felt like Daisy and Franklin were in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Autumn!
