“Jude is amazing! Our little girl got sick while we were away and Jude worked closely with me over the phone to be sure she was doing okay. She was creative with care and feeding, and decreased our anxiety about being away from our baby. She sent lots of pics and plenty of assurance. We love her and feel great about our next booking!”
“I recommend Dani to take care of your fur babies, I was very nervous leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of him as if he was her own. We will definitely use her again.”

“Lauren was awesome! She demonstrated during our meet and greet that she had thoroughly read our bio, which made things much easier. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she was prepared. She communicated throughout her stay and was flexible with start and end times. The dogs clearly took a real liking to her and enjoyed being with her. When we got home, our house was spotless and the dogs had been very well taken care of! I highly recommend Lauren!”
“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”
About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like. I am currently working full-time (about 15 minutes away from home), but my boyfriend (also a Rover sitter) works from home and can do daily potty breaks if needed.
“We went away for a week and used Emily to watch our two dogs. She stayed in our home with them and sent photos and videos throughout the duration of her stay. The dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her, she played frisbee with the young one and equally shared pet and cuddling time with them both! Will be using her again in the future. Thanks Emily!”
About: I've been dog sitting for the past 4 years since moving to PA, after having a dog for the majority of my life. Most of the dogs I watch are high energy so I am no stranger to long walks and finding fun indoor enrichment activities. I'm willing to work within training plans to ensure consistency with behavioral expectations. I am able to provide the following: - food bowl - water bowl - lead for back yard - dog crate (large and small) I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, but have most evenings open, as well as weekends. I also have a flexible work schedule and can plan accordingly to morning and mid-day needs. Safety is my top priority. I like to take the initial meeting slowly and let the dog familiarize his/herself to their surroundings or myself. Before a dog is over, I ensure my house is dog friendly, and do have a food and water bowl that can be utilized. While my yard is not fenced in, I have a lead to ensure the dog is able to be outside and can run around. We also have a lovely walking trail that can be utilized. While at other's houses, I make sure to follow any and all instructions to make your dog comfortable.
About: I have always had a passion for animals of any kind. I have a cat myself, and have been trusted to care for friends and families cats and dogs for years now. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am a full time college student, but when home for the summer or at school i have plenty of free time to dedicate to your animals. I will make sure your animal gets plenty of exercise and love, and will also make sure your house stays in the condition it was found in, if not better.
