“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”

“Maegan and Her Family Were Great With Our Dog Luke …They Made Him Feel at Home while he was There…I Will Be Using Her Again Soon for My Next Vacation…”

“(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.”

“Shantalee was phenomenal with our boxer, Peanut, on a last minute request! Her apartment was perfect for our pup and they snuggled the entire weekend. Shantalee is warm, attentive, had great communication, and truly loved our girl! We’ll absolutely use her again.”

“The dog was happy and healthy when we picked him up, and we received a photo with update on Friday. I can’t complain, and I don’t understand the barking to know the dog can so I assume everything is good.”

“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”

“We are so thankful for the fantastic experience we had leaving our pup with Chelsea and Christopher! We will definitely be asking them to dog sit for us again. Perry was so well cared for and the pictures and updates were very much appreciated! They truly went above and beyond! 😊”

About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.
“Absolutely thrilled with Cashe's dog bordering services! Professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to my pet's needs. Cashe was highly responsive to my texts, making the whole experience seamless. My Opal seemed happy and I couldn't have been more at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommended!”

“I totally and wholeheartedly recommend Laura! This was my 1st time ever boarding my 2 small dogs, and she made me feel so at ease from the very beginning of this new process. Seeing all the great reviews, I was assured that my dogs were in good hands with Laura. She took awesome care of my dogs and stayed in touch daily with pictures and updates. Laura is my #1 when the need comes up again. Thank you so much Laura! You are a blessing to the dogs you take in!”

“Kevinh was a phenomenal dog sitter. He was available last minute to watch our small dog. He took Kona on several long walks, send many pictures and regular updates. Great communication. Kona was extremely comfy and cared for ! I would 100% recommend Kevinh!”

Lancaster dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maggie was great. She watched my two Newfies and took excellent care of them. They had plenty of chances to play. The photos and videos were great too. They stayed over Thanksgiving, and she even had a special thanksgiving treat for them. I definitely recommend her.

Samantha was very flexible, patient and pleasant. She was also the best-ever at sending regular updates and listened well. Our dog was anxious for a while and Samantha made necessary adjustments to help her calm down and enjoy herself. We’d be happy to have Samantha sit for Keely anytime.

John was amazing! Super responsive, even to a last-minute/ day-of booking! He took wonderful care of our lil Roxy, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which we so appreciated :) She’s 15 years old and can sometimes be a little skiddish, but she took right to him and he made her feel right at home. He’s a great dog sitter and was very kind and caring, will definitely be booking with him again!

We love having Brigid care for our dog. He is well-cared for and comes home happy, healthy and calm. Brigid is a delight and she opens her home to just one little dog at a time. Brigid makes it easy when you need to have someone else take care of your pet. She is friendly and easy to communicate with and sends updates and pictures daily. We've booked with Brigid several times and look forward to our next booking with her.

I would give Sarah 100 stars if I could; she is so amazing! Miles stayed with her two years ago when I went to scatter my parents ashes in England, and he came home so happy and calm. So when I had a very intensive training, and conference this weekend in Baltimore, I knew he would be in wonderful hands! When I arrived on Thursday he immediately jumped on the couch with their dog, who he clearly recognized! Sarah as before was very welcoming, and one of her three daughters was there to pet him; and did so, so gently! According to her husband, who was there when we picked Miles up, the two dogs were inseparable the whole weekend. Again Miles came home so calm and happy! I feel so blessed to have found Sarah! To know that I can trust that my eleven year old dog will be happy and safe when I am away, means everything to me! I absolutely recommend Sarah and her family! I cannot imagine a happier, and safer place to be!

Another great stay with Kristine & Bob! My husband and I are so comfortable leaving our dog, Fiona with them. They send updates and pictures during the stay, and are willing to take care of special requests with food and care that our dog needs. Their dog is also very sweet and loving and a good playmate for Fiona.

She was so accommodating of my dogs needs and personality. She made sure he was fed on time, walked, and ready for pick up. She responds quick to all messages, and was able to fit me in last minute. She made sure to send cute videos of him and kept me updated on their day. I would highly recommend her as a great sitter. I’m definitely going to ask her to watch my dog again! :)

Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.

Jayne is absolutely amazing, my dog Lola loves Jayne and so do I! Whenever I drop Lola off she gets excited when she sees where we are, and when I pick Lola up she wants Jayne to come with us! I always have perfect peace of mind when I travel because I know Lola is having the best time :)
