Information Tara A. would like to know about your pet

We would love to know their feeding schedule including amounts as well as any medications and instructions for administering. Please also provide an emergency contact and veterinarian information.

We love playing in the fenced in back yard with balls and toys. There is a beautiful path just beyond our property that leads through a park. It is perfect for walks. There’s also a great wooded area for hiking within a 5 minute drive.

Your dog's home away from home

Pet care experience

Hi there! We are Tara & Ben. We live in East Hempfield Township with a large fenced in back yard. We know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind when traveling. We have had such wonderful personal experiences with Rover.com as customers that we decided to become hosts in 2020. We try to keep the maximum weight of our visitors at 30 pounds as we specialize in small breeds and senior care. When staying with us, your dogs will truly have a home away from home. We love to go for daily walks and spend lots of time playing in the back yard. If it's okay with you, we welcome them onto the furniture and even let them share our bed. We can't imagine living a single day without a pet in our home and we will love yours as if they are our own.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
