I have had my dog Bacon taken care of by them several times now over the last year ish. Last minute walks, my wedding, my two week honeymoon, day long events, a vacation, you name it. If you want true value for your money and an amazingly intuitive animal person. Book them. Trust the process. Bacon may not be good with other dogs usually but there's just an aura about them that allows Bacon to at least coexist. Mai just knows what to do. I would say Mai absolutely adores my old dog like he is their own. Love love love. It lifts so many worries off my shoulders when they take care of Bacon.

Thanks for your service over the last two months and your loving relationship with Orla. She really enjoys you. You have thoroughly mastered the campus of Woodcrest Villa, including the knowledge of which staff members provide doggie treats, the difference between the Dog Park and the Park, the nature trail, the bridge that requires a portage for smaller dogs, and your way around both the villas and the apartment complex. It was delightful for you to join our family on Sunday in a discussion of your educational and career goals and ways our family may be of assistance. We wish you well in your studies at Temple, your pursuit of the law, and your intended career specialty of protecting children. We will not hesitate to use your services in the future and recommend you to any Woodcrest Villa (or other CCRC resident) needing help with their pet.

Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!

About: I've taken care of my friends cats and dogs and have done house sitting locally for a few years. I always enjoy making new furry friends. Pet sitting, along with making art is my main gig so my schedule is very flexible. I try to plan pet sitting 1-2 weeks in advance. I am very observant and will cater to your specific needs. Pets require love and attention. Give me detailed directions and I will follow them to the best of my ability.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Tyler as our dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tyler is consistently on time, which is a huge relief for our busy schedule. His communication skills are excellent; he keeps me informed about how our dog is doing during walks and is always open to any questions I have. What truly stands out is how well he follows our care instructions. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about our dog’s well-being, and that gives us peace of mind. Our dog is not only safe but also incredibly happy after spending time with Tyler. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you, Tyler, for providing such wonderful care!

About: I had a pet cat from the day I was born, but got my first kittens when I was 5 years old. When I was 9, we recused a dog we named Honey and I instantly fell in love with dogs. Currently, I have 2 dogs, have fostered 22 dogs, and was the Foster Coordinator for a rescue in Texas before moving to PA. Taking care of my dogs is my top priority. They get a walk in the morning before breakfast. After breakfast, my beagle cuddles up to me while I throw the ball for my golden retriever. I spend the day giving them enrichment mentally and physically. I care for other pets the way I would care for my own. Each animal I am entrusted with gets top tier love, care, and attention. I am not distracted when caring for the pets I am entrusted with. I follow all instructions I am given and always look over the animals to ensure they are in good health and physical state while in my care.

Kaelee walked our dog Bilbo twice this week and she was great! She was prompt and communicative in scheduling, got to know Bilbo a bit before the walk, and was careful walking him around busy roads. I appreciated that she helped us by not reinforcing his barking/jumping when greeting someone too.

About: I am easy for dogs to get accusomed to, even dogs with difficulty towards others. I have spent a various amounts of time walking/sitting for friends over the years and also maintaining other animals (cats, reptiles, ferrets). I enjoy engaging with dogs and other animals to spend my time, and working with them to better their skills. I am generally free during the days and in the mornings. Evenings most nights as well. I can pop in and out to assist as needed for any type of to level of care. My schedule is all over but that's what helps me maintain an open yet closed schedule! I will maintain making sure your animals water is full, food is served per your food schedule. I don't mind giving medications. I will happily brush it do other general maintenance as needed!

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.

About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 4 and have loved each greatly. I’m great with all, no matter how big or small. I will make sure they’re treated like the family they are. I have experience giving medications if needed as well as keeping to routines. I’m currently self employed, so there’s plenty of time and energy to spare on doggos and kitties! I currently work from home and can take my work on the go if need be. I’m in an area that’s very walkable and I walk daily. I don’t have pets of my own so any time I get with them, whether friend’s or family’s, is a delight. I follow care specifications of clients to a T. I try to make sure the animals are taken care of as if their own parents were still there. Making sure they’re walked, fed, played with, given potty opportunities, or simply left alone if that’s what they prefer. I care for every pet as if it were my own.

About: New Rover Customers 20$ off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/mayah72696 I have hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and structure they need. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and energy, so I can adjust care to what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs activity or a more independent cat who prefers a calm environment, I make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and treated with patience and respect while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy it and naturally build my schedule around it. I plan my time so I can be fully present during visits, walks, or stays, and I’m flexible enough to adjust based on each pet’s needs. I’m currently available full time, so I can dedicate consistent attention and care. I care for pets in a calm, attentive, and respectful way, always focusing on their routine and comfort. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their normal schedule consistent, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special needs. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure while the pet is in my care. I take time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, whether that means giving space to settle in or engaging in active play and companionship. My goal is always to make them feel safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it! SCHEDULE I work part-time right now, so I am flexible to help meet you & your pets needs. I can help with drop-ins, evening walks most weekdays/weekends. Just hit me up let's work something out! :)) HOUSE SITTING/OVERNIGHT STAYS I'm requesting at least a one week notice for an overnight stay. I have three pets of my own, volunteering, and working part time, so I'll need to adjust my schedule accordingly! I have two golden girls 🐶 and a cat who still all kitten. A mix of low & high energy in my household so I give my cat at least an hour of playtime, and my girls just love to cuddle right up next to you.
