“Victoria was very polite and knowledgeable when interacting with us and the pups. All 3 of them seemed to enjoy her company and liked her from the start! Will be using again for the foreseeable future ?”
About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats
“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life. I grew up on a farm and I prefer animals over people. I can train any pet I’m currently working a full time job. My weekends are free and my evenings are completely open. I get off between 4pm and 6pm depending on the week day I have a small apartment but it stays clean and tidy. I have no yard but lots of grass and sidewalk around my apartment. I will always play with your pet and make sure there is food, water, and no messes.

About: Our family currently includes two dogs, three cats, a bunny, and 10 chickens!! I have a lifetime of experience taking care of pets. I am a responsible, dependable, active, fun and loving person. I will take great care of your animals!! I am a “retired” attorney and a stay-at-home mom! With our three kids in school, I am extremely flexible during the week to provide drop-in visits and walks!

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my 32 years of experience, beginning in my teenage years when I cared for neighbors’ dogs. As a dog owner myself, I hold myself to high standards and treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. Due to working in a school full time, I have the most availability in the summer and winter breaks. In addition, I am available evenings for drop ins and weekends for house sitting. At the present time, I am not offering boarding- but this is subject to change. My three year old golden retriever lives with me and is always eager to make new friends, ensuring a fun and social environment for your dog. Based in NEPA, I focus on providing personalized, loving care for each dog I look after. I look forward to hearing from you! As someone who loves pets and takes great pride in caring for my own, pet care is always a top priority in my daily routine. When it comes to your pet, it becomes my first obligation as well. I follow a strict feeding schedule for my one dog—once at 7 a.m. and again at 5 p.m; meanwhile, my other dog is a graze eater and has food in her dish 24/7. We also dedicate at least an hour to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, relaxing while watching TV, or playing with stuffed animals, sometimes more often than not a lot more than an hour. Rest assured, your pet will receive all the care and love they deserve! I prioritize a consistent schedule and routine for both my pets and client pets, which includes regular feeding, playtime, relaxation, and walks. Safety is my top priority, and I ensure that your pet is well cared for in a secure environment. In my home or yours, I have crates, multiple rooms, and gates available to provide space for pets to relax if they need some time alone or if they become too rambunctious. Rest assured, your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well attended to while in my care. I do like to create a more homey environment for my pets and dogs I watch, which sets me apart from kennel life.
About: Hello pet parents of wonderful pups and kitties of all shapes and sizes! 🐾 My name is Alexa, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and even jellyfish (yes, really - I used to care for them in a marine biology research lab during my undergraduate at Penn State!). I've personally owned three dogs and three cats over the years, including my current family pets: a sweet German Shepherd named Willow and a spunky tortoiseshell cat, Hazel. I’ve cared for pets both big and small, from a 100-pound shepherd to a tiny 17-year old yorkie named Harley. As a remote project manager in kidney disease research, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, responsive care. In 2023, I spent extended periods of time in Virginia caring for the sweetest pets, Ellie (a golden retriever) and Harley (the yorkie), and I regularly help friends and family with pet care. Since I’m staying put in Pennsylvania for the next few months, I’ve decided to officially open up my availability on Rover again! I’m also an avid hiker and trail runner, so if your dog has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to help with that! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I’m happy to adjust to their style and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care. I do not offer boarding or care in my own home at this time. I’m comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra TLC. As a project manager, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am a full-time remote project manager, so I have a relatively flexible routine. My meetings are mostly from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET, but I have the availability to step outside to take a walk, feed animals, etc.. I take safety, trust, and respect very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. While living on my own in Virginia, I cared for two dogs, one of whom was a senior with special needs, for extended periods, treating their home as if it were my own. I maintain a clean and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets feel secure and loved in their familiar space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I make sure to familiarize myself with local veterinary clinics, emergency contacts, and any specific care instructions before starting any visit. I believe preparation is key to providing dependable, responsible care, and I’m always just a message away with updates and photos to keep you in the loop.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I worked on a dairy farm from ages 13-16. I have always had dogs and cats myself. Lastly, I have both watched cats and taken care of dogs for friends and family. I currently work full-time at Geisinger. I am looking for some way to spend the limited free time I have. I am usually available after 5pm every day and available on most weekends. With the occasional exception. I will treat clients homes and animals with respect and care at all times. Follow directions and make sure the dogs are well cared for. I have 2 cats at home that are spoiled and very much loved.
“Alex did a great job once again of taking care of our kitties while we were gone! This is the 4th trip she has looked after our cats for us and we have always been pleased. She writes us a note and includes a photo or 2 every single time and really puts my mind at ease while we are away!! I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need anyone to look after your pets!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for 10+years. Friends, families, neighbors they have all relied on me to take care of their pets and still it’s really not like a job but a dream. I currently don’t work , so I am available literally 24 seven to take care of pets of all kinds except Sundays but text or call at anytime. I have a big yard away from the highways I live in the country and I have two friendly dogs to keep company with any kind of other pet visitors we might have.

“Nicole’s voice is soothing to my service dog, an 8 yr old rat terrier chihuahua named Kahlua. She can be shaking and trembling and then hear Nicole and her voice settles Kahlua. ❤️”
Alexa P.
“Alexa P. is one of the most trustworthy people I know. I have a pet bunny, Mimzy, who is a pretty high maintenance animal. She watched him for a weekend for me when I went home, making sure to call me & send me pictures everyday to give me updates. She even asked for a detailed list of what to feed him and when. She was sweet enough to clean the cage for me too before I got back. Bunnies are very jumpy animals & aside from me, she’s one of the few people he’s calm around. She’s a genuinely good person & even does blood drives so she is extremely organized as well. 10/10 recommended.”
