“I had to book within 2 days of leaving for a last minute trip. Derek got back to me and accepted the booking right away. He was very communicative throughout the process and took great care of my dog and cat. I definitely plan on booking with Derek in the future.”

“We needed a sitter last minute and found Kim. Our dog Moonshine was a little unsure at first but she seemed to warm up to her with the pictures that we saw.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable feeding pets, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they stay on their normal routine while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I’ll always treat them with patience and care. I’m graduating high school this June and currently have a flexible schedule. I’m available after 3pm on weekdays and fully available on weekends for drop-in visits and pet care. Having my own car also allows me to be reliable and arrive on time for scheduled visits. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their animals and entering their home. I’m respectful, dependable, and pay close attention to routines and instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and stress free.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for both small and medium-sized breeds. I’ve successfully potty trained a puppy and have also cared for a senior dog, giving me experience with pets at different stages of life. As a pre-PA student, I am responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and feeding routines. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply extra cuddles, I will treat them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I am available all day on weekdays and am also available on weekends with advance notice. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and I currently do not have any pets in my home, allowing me to provide your pet with my full attention. I also have a dog park nearby and live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. I will always follow your pet’s routine and any care instructions you provide to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while in my home.

About: Although I do not have formal experience I’ve had two dogs growing up. One was a Beagle (Sugar) and the other was a Husky-Pitt mix (The Kraken) both opposite in size, temperament and energy level so no dog intimidates me regardless of breed. With those dogs I have attended both Petsmart and Canine Academy for training classes so I am familiar with basic training and behavior redirection techniques. I also care for family and friend’s dogs if they are away, my one set of friends owning 4 dogs of various sizes/breeds. I have also had three cats over my life, my current cat is Luna (14) and I have taken care of reptiles, snakes and ferrets for friends. Currently I work as a Body Jeweler full time so I have openings for evenings and weekends. PLEASE NOTE: For walks I can only do 5pm - 10pm, NOTHING BEFORE sadly Rover does not let me set these settings. I can do house sittings regardless of my schedule but I will be gone for 8hrs for work during the weekday. I truly will treat your pets like one of my own. This includes feeding and making sure they are let out before I go to work as well as treats and playtime. If only walking your dogs I will make sure they to enjoy every minute of their time outside. As for your home I will respect your space and should your pet make any mess while you are away I will let you know as well as clean what I can.

About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have experience with small dogs and bigger dogs including a Rottweiler puppy of my own. I am very familiar with training, exercise needs, and keeping dogs happy and safe. I love working with dogs of all personalities and sizes and always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I am currently a nursing student at LaSalle University so weekends Thursday-Sunday are best for me until I am on break for the summer. I have a fenced in yard at home and one fur baby to keep your pups company. Typically, if there's a fence I like to let them run around freely, but at school my dog has to stay on leash so we go for lots of walks.

“Brady was AWESOME! She was willing to come for an intro visit to make sure she was okay with Abby and vice-versa, and for us to go through all our instructions, key-leaving, etc. And she faithfully showed up and spent time with our little girl, who was clearly not stressed because she was in great spirits when we got home. She even sent us photos so we could see how well she was doing. So grateful for the peace of mind so we could relax and enjoy our trip without worrying whether or not Abby would be in good hands. We'll definitely hire Brady again next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: I Bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniels 25 years ago.. I gave up breeding due to a family emergency. I am also good with Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers. At the same time that I was caring for my Cavaliers I had two Rottweilers that we cared for and showed them as well. In the years that I was taken care of my Cavaliers my vet taught me so much about emergency .. such as the signs of simple diarrhea or a hemorrhagic diarrhea which needs to be treated at a hospital immediately. I have a soft caring touch around all dogs, I know how to sit and wait for the dog to warm up to me, and I take care of dogs, all dogs just like they were my own. Puppies and dogs have been my life. I never had children so the dogs in my life truly are my babies Happily just retired.. available weekends and weekdays unless I have a prior commitment. Looking forward to doing mostly doggy drop-ins or house / pet sitting in your home I have a fenced in yard. So my dogs can go out and in through a doggie door. I am able to do what tasks are needed for dog sitting, drop in visits and doggie/house sitting.

About: I’ve taken care of my mini labradoodle for 10 years and I have a history of taking care of dogs in the neighborhood. My services include walking and check-ins for all types of dogs. I’m currently taking a break from university and will be home for the next year. I am available in the afternoon for dog walking and checks ins. I care for my dog currently by feeding her, taking her outside for potty breaks, taking her on walks, and playing with her. I am available to take care of your dog in all these ways and any special instructions that you may give me.

“Ryan was reliable and attentive to our cats. He provided updates as needed. I highly recommend him when you have pet sitting needs.”

“Mellony took great care of our puppies when we were gone! It was easier being away knowing she was there each day to visit with them.”

About: I am in my second year at veterinary school. So I’m made for this! I worked as a veterinary assistant and have experience in emergency as well. I have always had pets of my own as well. I am on my summer break currently and would love to pet sit your babies. Im currently working part time at a veterinary hospital and would love to spend my free time pet sitting! I have always loved caring for others animals in my free time. I have my own kitty her name is Willow. I scoop her litter and throw the spiral toy she loves back and forth. I also have a dog named Lady I take on walks.

About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!

“Gianna is awesome! Always on time, very communicative and Misu seems to really enjoy his time with her.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up in a pet-loving home, animals have been a constant part of my life for over 20 years. I am completely in my element around them, whether it’s lounging with a sweet, spunky Dachshund or keeping up with the big energy of a Black Lab. Because I’ve lived with pets my entire life, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they crave routine and affection when their owners are away. I'm not a professional trainer, but I am a dedicated, lifelong animal lover who will treat your fur babies with the exact same care, safety, and devotion I give my own. As a teacher, my schedule opens up completely during the summer months! With my days wide open, I have total flexibility to provide frequent check-ins, midday walks, and plenty of daytime companionship and play when your pets need it most. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced-in yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. They will also have the company of my sweet, senior miniature Dachshund, who is great with other animals and sets a relaxed, gentle vibe. Because of my experience with a senior Doxie, I am incredibly mindful of keeping a watchful eye on small dogs, managing stairs, and maintaining a calm environment. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow their established routines, respect your space, and make sure they get the exact exercise, feeding schedule, and love they are used to in a stress-free environment.

About: We have an energetic 3 year old GSP that requires 2 hours of exercise minimum per day! We love caring for our pup and decided we would love to care for other pups when needed. We have taken care of our neighbors animals just by word of mouth but decided to sign up here too. We both work from home and have flexible schedules. Your pup will get the excercise they need and all the cuddles because of our flexible schedules! We have a big back yard to play fetch and run around. We also live right by Tyler State Park and go for long 5 mile walks there often!
