About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
“Best sitter you could ask for in the area! Responsive and will treat your pets like her own. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take care of their babies with the most love and attention as possible!”
About: I've never been without a pet--my family has had Labs and Goldens since before I was born, so I was raised taking care of and training dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy person to look after your pet, so please don't hesitate to ask me anything that will help you and your fur babies feel more comfortable :) I work part-time 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to visit and walk your pets! My schedule is flexible, so if you ever need to make an adjustment, just let me know! I've taken care of pets with a wide range of personalities, so I understand that different pets need different types of care. You know what's best for your pet, so let me know how you do things and I will do my best to keep things consistent, familiar, and comfortable for your dogs!
About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.
About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local dog rescue, fostered dogs in need of extra love and care, and have looked after beloved pets for friends and family for years. What truly sets me apart is the level of compassion and experience I bring. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a laidback senior dog, or even a small pet like a hamster or guinea pig, I take the time to understand and care for each animal as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet — no matter how big, small, or quirky — will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a guinea pig named Chewy, and making sure he’s happy, clean, and well-fed is just part of my day. I also help care for our family dog, Pierre, whether it’s taking him for a walk after work or helping my parents with him during the day. Because of this, I’m already in the rhythm of daily pet care—from feeding schedules and exercise to playtime and attention. I don’t just make time for animals—I naturally build my day around them. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with the same respect I would want in my own. I follow your rules closely, pay attention to routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m a rule-reader, not a rule-bender—whether it’s specific feeding instructions, leash preferences, crate routines, or off-limit areas, I make sure to stick to your expectations. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’m there to keep it that way.n
About: I’m new to Rover but not to dogs! I have worked in a veterinary kennel, a daycare/boarding center, completed a PennVet summer program, and volunteered at the SPCA for years. Let me walk your doggies! I love them all. I am free daily until late August, barring my 5-8 pm tutoring shifts, a few weekly appointments, and random engagements. I have lots of energy in the morning so I can do early morning walks if needed. I am very respectful and caring towards others’ animals, spaces and belongings, and would love the opportunity to take care of your pet in your home so that both of you have the least anxiety possible.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.
About: I am confident that me and you little dogs will get along great . I hope that we can become friends fur life ! I like walks and cuddles and snuggles from dogs ! I currently work part time Tuesday through Thursday and can be available Thursday evening through the weekend and Monday evening . I can also do times upon availability I will walk dogs or let them in your enclosed yard depending upon your needs . I am flexible about how long the walks will be .

Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”

Allison G.
“Ally is a fun, loving, caring person who will responsibly care for your pets. She has experience doing house visits for dogs and cats. Her family has always had big dogs, but has also cared for small dogs. She will make your pets feel loved while you are away - with playing, brushing, walking, cuddling, feeding - whatever your pet prefers. Ally is responsible, shows up on time, and will carefully follow any instructions that you provide.”
Isabel V.
“Isabel is a wonderful and empathetic person who pays a lot of attention to animals. She helped me with Fred, a chocolate Labrador who lived with me until recently and Wolfe, the German Shepherd in my care now. Both dogs eat a diet of raw meat only, and require at least 2 walks a day. The Fred was very food motivated, and always enjoyed getting treats for doing tricks. One thing that Isabel taught me that I didn't even realize is that he sneezed whenever he was excited, especially when he knew it was 'treat time'. She also took great care of Wolfe, who is a very energetic and playful dog, and played with him even more than I do when she took care of him. She also was eager to help maintain his training when I mentioned some of the tricks he knew, but didn't really ask her to take care of and even expressed interest in teaching him to find treats. She also taught me how to wrap treats In a towel to keep his busy brain active. I've been impressed with her enthusiasm for animal care and her willingness to go above and beyond for the animals to meet their needs. I would highly reccomend her to take care of your animals.”
Cloe R.
“Cloe is amazing with my cat, Bingo! She stayed at my apartment multiple times while I was away and followed all my care instructions perfectly. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Cloe is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals—I would trust her with Bingo anytime!”
aliza h.
“I cannot think of a kinder, smarter, more qualified caregiver for your dog than Aliza. She is an experienced dog walker and sitter who has worked with pets of all sizes/breeds in a variety of environments. Aliza has walked/dog-sat my bichon frise for years, caring for my dog through her puppy years, injuries, and more. I trust Aliza 100% with my home and my pet!”
