“We are always glad to have Reese spend time with Bobbi and family. He receives impeccable care with every stay! We are truly blessed to have such a thoughtful caregiver for our Reese!”
“Rachel and her family are so loving and warm bunch. They were absolutely wonderful with our golden Kobe. She was great about communicating when needed and sent us pics daily. He had a blast with Rachel’s kids and she even took Kobe on walks which was so important to us. Thank you Rachel!”
“Oleg was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and took our dogs last minute when we had to go out of town for a funeral. Our pups had so much fun with his family and his lab. They both came home exhausted from lots of play time! We will definitely use Oleg’s services again.”
“De'Andra and Robert were fantastic. They kept me up to date with photos and videos from Winnie's stay. I had some weird scheduling issues and the worked with me to make sure my baby was taken care of! Crosby was also very welcoming to my pup :)”
“Our dog loves staying Pam’s. As soon as we tell Storm that he’s going to Pam’s. He gets excited and can’t wait! We are so happy to see him getting lots of love from Pam and enjoy his dog friends.”
“Thank you for keeping my Bella on such short notice for the Christmas holiday. Bella was happy as ever when she came home and I can tell she enjoyed her time with you!”
“Wonderful folks! I'm happy for daily updates and details on my kitties. They helped feel comfortable and allowed them to slowly open up. Definitely would rebook in the future if needed.”
“Kathy was terrific, and took great care of my pet. She was personable, reliable and had a clean and pet-friendly home. I highly recommend her and will use her for my future pet care needs.”
“Heather and her family are the absolute best! We feel totally comfortable when Brady is in her care and can enjoy our vacation to the fullest. She also sends the cutest pics. :) Thank you so much Heather!”
“Kayla was so communicative and took great care of our 9 year old dog. She sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We will be rebooking with her in the upcoming months! Thank you Kayla!”
“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Heather and her husband watched our pup for a long weekend and we couldn’t be more thankful to have found her! We don’t have any family nearby. She sent pics of him while we were away and he was very well cared for. Thank you Heather! <3”
About: I have worked with animals for a long time. I have a degree in biology and psychology for animal training and behavior. I worked previously in a zoo setting, as well as offering dog training classes through a pet store. I’m trained in positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home with a flexible schedule. We have one English bulldog in our home and I would love the opportunity to visit with your pets on an as needed or regular basis. If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me about my history/experience or any specific needs you may have. Thanks for reading and your interest! I work from home so I’m always looking to get some fresh air and take a break! I can walk dogs or check in during the normal work day. Currently I’m offering dog walks and check ins during the week. I will follow all of your instructions and be sure to send you an update! We are looking for one dog to offer doggy daycare weekly in our home. My husband and I are both WFH and we would love host a dog (must be okay with dogs and kids) during the workweek!
“A+ stay. Dana and Jon were very accommodating to myself and my puppy Dak, especially after getting home late due to traffic! We got frequent pictures and updates. It’s very apparent that Dak had a wonderful stay for an extended weekend. will be using again! Thanks !”
“Sarah is an amazing dog sitter! She will give your dog love and the very best care you could ask for. I feel great about leaving my dog with her and my dog comes home so happy.”
“I was very happy with Jaideep and his wife. During the meet and greet, I felt so comfortable. Zara made herself at home immediately. They kept me updated several times a day with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my little girl was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I truly appreciated the communication. I will be using them again. Highly recommended!”
Mechanicsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Derek and Cammie were absolutely amazing with my dog, Snuggles! ❤️🐾 I was away in Europe and had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and loving hands. They treated Snuggles like part of their family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated the updates and photos, which helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was doing so well. When I picked her up, it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. Derek and Cammie went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for my precious girl. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Snuggles! ❤️✨
I had my two dogs with Rob and his wife last week. They did an awesome job! They have a nice big fenced in back yard and he throws ball w them. I was immediately at ease because Rob sent lots of pics to me. He responded to me quickly anytime I texted him. I would not hesitate using Rob again! Highly recommend!!
It's always tough to be away from your fur baby, but I had complete peace of mind with Samantha. From the moment we met her, I could tell my pup would be in great hands—and that says a lot, because I don’t trust just anyone! Samantha’s communication was outstanding: she responded quickly, shared updates, and sent photos. Knowing my pup was so well cared for made all the difference. Highly recommend her!!
