“Brittany is clearly an expert when it comes to pet sitting. She took such great care of my dog Eddie, was quick to respond, and even took the time to clean the place before she left! It brought me such peace of mind to know Eddie was in such good hands!”
“Becky was so great with our senior dog and three overly friendly kitties while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent tons of updates and pictures. Our critters were so happy and well cared for. She gave us peace of mind and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you a million times, Becky!”
“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”
“Kaylene Is awesome she played with Eli, took on walks, water pkants and took great care of our house. Eli looked so happy in the pictures she sent. We will definitely use her again and recommend her.”

“Amazing job! So happy with the care and attention Bayleigh provided to our pets and our home. We would love to have her help us again in the future as she did a fantastic job!”
“I booked with Morgan to have her stay at my apartment for the weekend with my cat. She was very professional and attentive to details. I appreciated that she would check in and let me know my pet was doing well and sent photos. Would 100% book again with Morgan!”
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“Macey is the kindest pet sitter! She is prompt, gentle with our shy cat and provides excellent care for him. We have a detailed food regime that he’s on and Macey followed it exactly as we requested proving how detail oriented she is! We have her booked for an extended stay later this year and feel super comfortable leaving our cat on her hands!”
“Elizabeth is excellent. When our last sitter moved away, we thought it was going to be hard to find a replacement. I have to say that Lizzy has exceeded our expectations. She is reliable and communicates with us often I wish she would spend a few more pics... We will absolutely use Elizabeth again.”
“Haley was on time, asked important questions, and followed Sage’s routine. She also provided us updates throughout the stay, and was prompt to respond when we inquired about him. Thank you, Haley. I would definitely re-book.”
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of pets and house sitting since 1998. I’ve had multiple pets at one time including cats, dogs, fish, and guinea pigs. I work remotely, with flexible hours. My down time activities include reading, which makes keeping an eye on furry family members easy and fun. I enjoy getting fresh air and walking which most dogs usually enjoy as well. I can work from most anywhere, so there’s no problem fitting right in to your pets familiar environment. I do need a desk to work from and somewhere to sleep if overnight care is requested.
“Marlaina took care of our diabetic pup while we were away and did such a great job! She was communicative and took such good care of our girl. We never had to worry and were able to enjoy our vacation. It's wonderful to be able to have so much trust in someone to care for our loved ones.”
About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.
“Sydney was amazing with my dogs. She kept in contact with me while she was watching them and sent me so many pictures! So friendly and great communication. I would love to have her back to watch them anytime!!”

Becky was so great with our senior dog and three overly friendly kitties while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent tons of updates and pictures. Our critters were so happy and well cared for. She gave us peace of mind and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you a million times, Becky!
Excellent house / pet sitter. My dogs absolutely adored her. We arranged a meet & greet a couple weeks before, and answered each other's questions . A couple days before the appointment Lauren contacted me to confirm everything; very professional! She kept sending me updates and pics, and even kept me informed the couple times she was stepping out for dinner. I will absolutely book her again!
We had a great experience with Haley. Communication was excellent from start to finish — she responded quickly and was always easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. She kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our pets were clearly well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Lila was great! She stayed at our house with our 3 dogs for about a week while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues and Lila was able to help her get up. She left the house very tidy and even offered to do drop in visits after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Will use again!
How is this instead? This was our first time using the Rover app and we were so grateful to find Karen!! She was extremely responsive during for our week away from our dogs. Returning home our flight was delayed 3 times for being back and she was very supportive and understanding in taking care of the dogs. Our kiddos were very well taken care of and hit it off with Karen right away. Karen is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in taking care of the dogs in our home. We highly recommend Karen and she will be our go to next time we need any kind of dog services!!!
Elizabeth was extremely reliable and concerned for our dog’s welfare. She followed her medication regimen as closely as Wrigley made possible, and sought clarification when necessary. She was friendly and pleasant to work with. We would definitely recommend her and book her again.
Xavier was absolutely amazing with my dog Bear! From the very first message, he was kind, communicative, and genuinely excited to take care of him. He took the time to read all of Bear’s care instructions (which were very detailed!) and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Throughout the day, Xavier sent me updates and photos, which helped me relax knowing Bear was happy and comfortable. Bear can be a bit reactive on walks and had just started antibiotics the day before, but Xavier handled everything with such patience and care. He followed all of Bear’s routines perfectly, kept him company, and even snuggled with him the way Bear likes. It’s so clear how much Xavier loves animals and wants to do right by them. I would 100% recommend Xavier to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter. We’d love to have him watch Bear again!
