“Lindsay is the best! She always responds quickly, is very attentive to my dog, Sophie, and is really helpful. I am so lucky to have found her. I have booked Lindsay several times, and she will always be my number one choice to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend her!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great and our cats loved spending time with them! They were responsive, checked in on them when requested, and I enjoyed the pictures during check in. Highly recommend!”
“Donna was an amazing sitter who got along with my cat greatly! She is very nice and obviously loves being around pets! Will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter!”
About: Looking for a loving, safe place for your dog while you’re away? We would love to help! In addition to in-home boarding, I also offer reliable drop-in visits and dog walking to keep your pet happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re at work or out for the day. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, patience, and love. As someone who has fostered and cared for dogs for years, we've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Growing up with animals, and having recently lost our beloved English Bulldog at the age of 14, our home feels incomplete without a furry friend. That’s why we'd love to welcome your dog into our life. Right now, my pet-free home is perfect for dogs who need to be the only pet. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor fun. We take daily walks and hikes for exercise and adventure. We offer a loving, one-on-one care from someone who truly treats dogs like family. As a part-time volunteer at my children’s school during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your furry friend—whether it’s playing, going for walks, or enjoying a hike together. I have a fenced in yard on a wooden lot so your furry friend has plenty of room to explore without encountering strangers or other dogs. We have a crate available for dogs that are crate trained. Your dog would have free access anywhere in our house and yard following whatever rules you have at your home. We love to go hiking or the local park, if that is something you are ok with.
“Sara was great with our shy cat. She was punctual and reliable for our long stay away from home, and provided regular updates and pictures. We will be booking with Sara again!”
“Jessica was great with my dog and cat...super kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and made everything easy while I was away. Came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!”
“Devynne was great, as usual! My kitties were happy to see her familiar face when we were out of town. She also stayed an extra day when we found out our trip was delayed. Thanks again!”
“Stephanie is best! One of my cats needs daily medication, but I have no worries about leaving them at home while I am traveling. Stephanie is utterly reliable about checking on my girls, even on holidays or when there's severe snow and ice.”
About: I stand out as a sitter because I have extensive experience with senior dogs, including caring for my own pets through seizures, medications, and even diaper routines. I work from home, so I can provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’ve cared for many different breeds and temperaments, and I treat every dog like family, with patience, compassion, and reliable care. I’ve watched over 30 dogs the last few years while being an official dogsitter with many regular clients. I work from home and I usually take a daily walk. I’ve had a pet dog majority of my life, so incorporating pet care into my routine is nothing new! I have a fenced in yard. When I dog sit at homes with no fence, I always make sure the dog is securely leashed before heading out the door. I am however, not comfortable taking dogs to the dog park. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs at once. However, I do usually only accept one client at a time (if you have two dogs that’s totally fine).
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
“Monica is so professional, responsive and trustworthy! We love having her take care of Gadget and Calvin and are so happy with the attention and care she has provided to our sweet pets!”
About: I’ve lived with animals all my like and I have taken care of/trained several pets! I’ve also taken care of injured pets after surgeries and more! I’m very experienced with both dogs and cats however I’ve had a lot of exotic pets growing up! I have also fostered several animals and helped them find their forever homes!! I also have had experience with difficult animals, I have had some animals that were found abandoned and were hesitant to trust people but with abundant work and love they grew more trusting and I helped them to find their forever homes! I have school everyday from 8-2 then after school I ahve some sports that require attendance, however I can work on Saturday’s and Friday’s after school! In my home I feed my cats and scoop their litter and when I had dogs I would feed them walk them and take care of them 24/7, while cats don’t need as much upkeep I would still be keeping track of them all day! In my clients home, I’ll do anything they ask me to and love on their pet! I keep track of their animals, giving them food, water, walks, pets, anything they need! I also have experience administering medication and tending to sick animals! I also know how to trim nails if they need it’
“Amazing sitter! My babies (she watched my rat terrier pup and holland lop bunny) aren’t used to new people in the apartment all the time, plus we just moved so new space. Stephanie took the time to make sure they were not only properly cared for with all the weird things that come with pets, but they quickly came to feel comfy around, love, and look forward to her visits I could tell! Would love her to sit anytime!”
About: I've had a dog since the day I was born when my parents were given a beagle puppy as a wedding gift. I'm partial to beagles for that reason, but love all breads. Being retired, I'm especially fond of my senior pups, but equally enthused with little pups. I am retired and able to be flexible with my schedule. Your pet will not go unattended in my care. Several parks are within easy walking distance. I have a corner lot, completely fenced in a quiet neighborhood without a through drive. No speedy cars or traffic. Conveniently located near several parks.
About: Hi! My name is Paula. My love for animals began at a very young age and I can't remember when pets haven't been a part of my life. I was a dog groomer and trained pet CPR. I graduated from Nash Academy of Pet styling in 2020. and now I am a full time pet-sitter. I understand the importance of personalized attention and playtime. I promise your dog will feel relaxed and at home in our house! I am at home 24/7. So, we have plenty of outside breaks during the day and much time for relaxing and playing. Your pups have free roam of the home. Our home has a large, fenced backyard, so your pup can spend most of the day outside while supervised. We take only one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household. I'm not too far from Stanbury Park and can take your pup on walks everyday. Let me know what your dog/cat needs whenever they're in my care and I'd be more than happy to accommodate.
About: My partner and I both have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats. The furry friends are part of our life. We work from home, so we are also very flexible. My partner and I both work from home 85% of time, so we are very flexible. We are reliable and responsible ‘parents’ whom you can trust. We prefer to do drop in, to minimize all the potential risks for your furry kids, and try to provide them with sense of security.
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”
Newtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina accommodated me last minute, and did an absolutely fantastic job! she sent me photos of my dogs, and even went out of her way to give them treats at the end of the visit from her own stash when I didn’t have my own, and followed directions perfectly! she made sure to keep any temperaments that I had let her know about in mind while dropping in with them, and my babies seem so happy with her care. will definitely be using her again!
Ashley has once again taken excellent care of my 3 cats. My very shy cat, Jack, even appeared in the photos she sent- so he's even gotten comfortable with her drop in visits! I really appreciate the time she spends with them while I am away. I will continue to request Ashley anytime I need cat care.
Emily is amazing! I so appreciate the great care she gave to our kitties while we were out of town. She asked great questions to make sure she had all the information needed. The daily updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Thank you so so much Emily!
Absolutely the most amazing person to watch your animals. So kind and caring. Truly the most amazing human I ever met. She stepped in to help when I was in a crisis situation and took the care of my dogs so it was one less thing I had to worry about. I can never thank her enough.
Lindsay was so kind to watch our girl over the holidays! She took extra care to even wash the wet food dish and spoon which was so sweet and reduced some clean up we would’ve otherwise had coming back after a long trip. We really appreciated her attention to detail, patience with our sometimes feisty girl, and overall flexibility.
Five Star Pet Sitter‼️Kylie did a great job the first time she took care of my two dogs and so I asked her to help out again. She is Super responsible and a true animal lover! She goes the extra mile and has a wonderful attitude. I highly recommend Kylie- and so do my dogs! ☺️
