“Dava took such good care of Java during a week while I attended a conference in Carlisle, PA. She sent pictures every day. Also gave Java allergy meds after asking me! Dava was awesome!”
“I really can't give a complete review because the Kayla's home is on a military base. The family met me off base. They were very nice and when I picked up my dog, she was happy and seemed fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kayla again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
“I cannot say enough, good things about Jarod. We had a difficult situation with travel plans, and he was extremely accommodating, and really made it easy for us. Attentive to the dog, knowledgeable, beautiful venue to have your dog stay, this is a no-brainer to book. We appreciated the pictures as well!! 12/10!!”
“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”
“Lisa D. boarded my dog at the last minute because my pet sitter cancelled on me. I am so thankful she took Russ in her home. Through conversations with Lisa D. I realized she was very professional and had a lot of expertise in this field. She walked him daily and sent pics daily. I had peace of mind leaving Russ with Lisa D and will rebook soon.”
“Alexandra and Robert were once again great to my dog Baxter! He loves it there and I’m confident they give him the love, care, and attention he needs. Won’t hesitate to book again!”
“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”
“Absolutely Wonderful! Cosmo had the best time with Savonah. My wife and I were nervous about leaving our dog with someone else after such a long time without traveling. Savonah had a great vibe right from the beginning and couldn’t give us a better peace of mind during our trip. So great to have someone around we can count on. Cosmo even got a goodie bag! What a nice touch. Highly recommended!”
“I absolutely loved Alexis (and her family!) She made me feel comfortable by leaving my 16week old puppy with them. She sent me pictures and kept in contact while I was away which made me feel at ease. I will be using her again!”
“I am grateful to Kelli for her exceptional care of my dogs, Sea and Mac, during their week-long stay. Her attentive approach made me feel at ease knowing they were in capable hands. The regular updates and photos she provided helped keep me connected to my pups while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and I highly recommend Kelli to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring companion for their pups.”
“Theresa and Joseph took great care of my 3 dogs. They made sure to send updates and photos throughout the stay and were very patient with my dogs, especially my anxious one. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for awhile now maybe around 8 years and I have my own dog that is 4 years old and he’s really about medium size I am very capable of taking care and managing the time needed to take care of a dog. I will continuously walk the dogs and play with them as well as feed them. I’ve been loved by dogs always and will never try to force myself on them. I will care for your dogs like they are my own and take care of them to my best abilities as long as your willing to let me take care of them. I definitely will stay in contact with the owners and let you know if anything happens.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mechanicsburg
We had such a great experience with Derek and Cammie! They took wonderful care of Snuggles for two nights, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. They were caring, attentive, and kept us updated while we were away. Snuggles was happy and well cared for when we picked her up. We truly appreciate the love and care they gave her and would definitely recommend Derek and Cammie! 🐾❤️
Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!
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!!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
