“For the first time in a long time I felt like my dog was going to be perfectly happy and well cared for while I was away. Courtney was perfect. My dog was happy and I can tell she had a great time with Courtney and her little dog. Highly recommended!!!”
“Cecilia was awesome. I was able to book on super short notice and she took such good care of my boy with lots of activities, a bath, and photos for me! Highly recommend!”
About: I love all types of animals! I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and have worked in veterinary offices (regular as well as emergency), a wildlife center, and a pet shop (Pet Emporium on Woodbury Ave). While I now work from home for a software company, my love of pets remains. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule. I can work from your house or just pop over for visits as needed. I carry my own professional pet-sitting insurance, which covers both your pet and your home while they're in my care. I understand everyone has their own way of doing things when it comes to their pets. Just let me know the preferences and routine, and we can keep things as regular as possible while you are not able to be there. Please note: My Constant Care rate is $250 per day. Care is considered “Constant Care” if the pet(s) cannot be left alone for up to 4 hours at a time.
About: I’m a newly retired teacher and former principal that loves my doggies! Over the years, I’ve had so much love from my very special friends. Would love to give and get some loves from your treasured family member. I literally live in the middle of Stratham Hill Park and I love to walk. Only one “little guy” at a time…🥰 I’m loving my retirement and have lots of time and love to give. I have some scheduled exercise classes in the mornings but always home by 10:30. I’ve had so many dogs over the years. Routine visits to the vet are mandatory and walking, playing, and interacting with my friends are essential. I’m also very familiar with dogs with anxiety. One needs to approach this in a calm and careful way and watch the signs for anxiety coming on and be able to respond with love and kindness. Living right in the middle of Stratham Hill Park, I have easy access to the walking trails. Because I don’t know your dog, they will never be off leash but will be outside often during the day!! I love to walk. 🥰 I have a lovely crate IF your dog prefers this quiet space, but I will not be crating unless you ask me to. Typically my 11 year old grandson will come by after school to snuggle, play and go for a walk with me and your pup!
“Felicia was absolutely amazing with Bella! She welcomed her into her home with so much care and love. Bella can be shy, but Felicia made her feel comfortable right away. I really appreciated how professional she was and how often she sent me updates and pictures—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bella was happy and safe. I could tell Bella was well taken care of and treated like family. I highly recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional sitter.”
About: I've always had a natural connection with dogs since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated to my calm energy and ability to sense their needs. Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.
“AMAZING! Josh and Nicole are wonderful. First, they take it seriously. You can tell they adore their own 2 dogs and provide an amazing living space for them to play, sleep, exercise and just be dogs. They sent videos and photos every day while I was away for two weeks! I could tell that my dog was so comfortable in their care. The videos allowed me to see my dog playing, eating, sleeping and interacting with them. My dog was 100% at home in their home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They are the perfect couple to take care of your animal while you are away. I should add they have a HUGE fenced in yard that is better than most dog parks! They get a 10 out of 10 on everything! Thank you both for taking care of Mr. Skipper. He WILL be back :)”
“My dog spent two nights at Nicole’s and I felt very comfortable leaving him there. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated the whole time so I never had to worry. She even bought him some new toys to play with!”
“We had a great experience with Michelle looking after our French Bulldog, Sunny. She did an excellent job and Sunny seemed happy and well-cared for when we returned. She was attentive, responsible, and made sure Sunny felt right at home. It's reassuring to know we have such a reliable sitter to trust. Highly recommended!”
““Kate was amazing” is an understatement. Our dog can be a bit of a handful, but she and Kate seemed to get along amazingly! Kate was incredibly flexible with travel issues and sent so many great pics showing how spoiled and snuggled our dog was at her house!”
“I always feel bad leaving Bronson when we go on vacation. But I know he will be well taken care of with Jude and his family. They definitely treat him like a family member. Thank you so much for always being flexible with our dates and times.”
“Our pup Lucy had the best time with Adelle. She went on plenty of walks and tons of play. Adelle was very responsive and easy to coordinate with and gave plenty of updates and photos! Lucy can't wait to stay with Adelle again!”
“Caroline and her husband are pawfect dogsitters. They take good care of my dog. It's her 4th time with them. She knows them and is comfortable at their home. It put me at peace and I can trust them with my dog.”
New Castle pet parents share their Rover experiences
Diamond was absolutely amazing with our dog, and we truly could not have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in loving, caring, and responsible hands. She went above and beyond with updates, attention, and genuine care, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. What really stood out was her kindness, patience, and professionalism. She treated our dog like family, and that means everything to us. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says it all. We are beyond grateful for Diamond and would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly wonderful with animals, Diamond is the one. We would absolutely love to book with her again in the future!
This was our first time boarding with Alyssa and her family. I could tell from our initial meet-and-greet that our golden would love his time with them -- and he did! During his stay, Alyssa checked in on things she wasn't sure about and sent pictures and videos of his walks, snuggles with family, and trips to parks. I could tell our boy was a happy camper! Being assured he was in good hands made it a lot easier to enjoy our time away. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook!
They took great care of my little Maya for two weeks, accepting the booking mere days before my trip. They were pleasant, professional, and provided many updates that all reflected my happy, and comfortable little girl. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with them again in the future. Thank you!
Mack and Dennis had their very first Rover sleep-away with James, and they were welcomed with open arms by his whole family. Everyone was so sweet and hospitable, and his little girl gave them plenty of cuddles, which they absolutely loved. James was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, flexible, and genuinely accommodating. I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in such a warm, caring home. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy, family-oriented sitter. We will happily book with him again.
