“Michael is absolutely wonderful with my beautiful cat. He really spends time loving her and treating her as his own when he comes to pet sit my cat for me when I am away. He isn't just doing his job. I would highly recommend him to anyone that loves their fur baby but has to spend time away at times.”


“Katlyn took excellent care of my sweet cat and also took the time to write out such wonderful report cards for him! It made this homesick pet parent feel so much more secure! We will definitely be having her back!”


About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs throughout my entire life, growing up up with them and now pet sitting regularly. I have worked with reactive and in-training dogs. I have two kitties at home named Miso and Ophelia!! I am a 4th year med student with a fair amount of free time in my schedule as I interview for residencies. My availability changes a bit monthly with different rotations/interbiews, but I keep my Rover availability up to date! I will abide by all guidelines you provide and give your animals the love and attention that they will be missing while you’re gone! I am clean, organized, and will have the utmost respect for your space!

About: I have watched several different animals with many different routines and medical requirements, allowing me to understand and care for animals with strict needs and routines! I work part time throughout the week which allows me to do pet care in the evenings after work or care for them full time over weekends! When caring for your pet I will follow the routines and instructions given to me by you to make sure your pets stay in a familiar routine to help with them remaining calm while with me!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly adore them all. Whether they are big, small, furry, or fluffy! I’m experienced and comfortable with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I share my home with one sweet standard poodle and two lovable cats who are my whole heart. Whether it’s dog walking, drop in visits, or house sitting, I’m here to provide your pet with lots of love, care, and attention like they are my own! I am a college student and have a remote internship this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am comfortable with early mornings as well as late nights. Whether it’s in my home or yours, my goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I will follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walks, to playtime and cuddles! I also want parents to feel as comfortable as possible! I love to provide pictures and updates so you can relax while away.

“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”


About: My aunt would bring her dog over when she would go on vacation and I'd take care of her. I would watch my grandma's dog for her on vacation. My partner has a dog thats now ours and I'm trusted with them. I just love animals. I'm off every single Tuesday so I'll be free from 8:00 until 3:00 pm and then 5:00-10:00 pm to come play with your babies. I'm usually off on Wednesday as well but sometimes it's a Monday, depends on my work schedule for the week. But I'll have it 3 weeks in advance to fit your babies into my routine to make sure they're well taken care of. I'll make sure your baby is fed, watered, walked and played with. I can crate them if needed. If they're good with other animals, I'd be more than willing to take them and my little one on a walk in a park together, I love taking mine to wildwood.

“Jessie took the best care of my pups. I'm completely happy and pleased, especially with all the pictures and detailed reports she sent every day. I wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of them again.”


“Lily was wonderful! She dropped in on my kitty while I was out of town, taking great care of him and providing timely updates on how the visits went. I would book her again, and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I have owned dogs my whole life--from puppies, to elderly dogs with special requirements. I have always owned at least two dogs at a time. In addition, I have experience pet sitting. I previously looked after two dogs that were more on the aggressive side, and handled them quite well. I work full time (8am-4pm), although I am available to take care of any responsibilities in the morning and after getting off work. I have complete open availability on the weekends. I always make sure to respect other people's homes and the expectations that they have in place. Whatever needs done, I will always make sure to complete as efficiently as possible, and I will never do anything to disrespect one's home or privacy.

About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14; I’ve trained and cared for my golden as well as the four cats in my household. I’ve also started taking on strays! I work full time over the week and I am more than capable making any stops from work or even filling up my weekends taking care of your pet. I am very flexible with instructions if need be. I’ll take care of your dogs or cats with care and diligence. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a wonderful neighborhood that I can walk your pet in.

About: I have had many pets/animals over the years. Cats, dogs, hamsters, hedgehogs, etc. Many of the cats I grew up with had medical issues so I'm able to help them as needed. I am working part time. And dont have a set schedule, So hours will vary, but I'll do my best to accommodate the times needed. Currently I have 2 cats, so it's not too hard. Water, food and litter. But I can take care of anything, and will accommodate your animals needs.
