“Jamie won over our very anxious dog over the long weekend she let him out. Our dog Arlo was hesitant at first but Jamie was patient with him and everything went well. Thank you Jamie for taking such great care of Arlo!”
“Margaret did a wonderful job with our cat Ghost! It was our first time using Rover and we were nervous but she was so thorough. She came to meet us and Ghost for a meet and greet to start. She administered our cat’s oral medication and fed her twice a day. She is very kind, considerate and timely! Easy to communicate and we liked getting updates and photos twice a day. We can tell our cat really appreciated her attention and care. Will be happy to work with Margaret again!”
“Karlie is amazing! I felt so comfortable and confident that I was leaving my cat Cleo in excellent and caring hands. ☺️ She cared for Cleo so well, and the updates were so fun to get while I was out of town. Thank you!!!”
“Adriana—Thank you for being flexible with the scheduling when I had to cancel one of the days due to illness. You’re always so helpful and make pet care less stressful.”
“Attentive, detailed, on-time and extremely caring. They took very good care of my three cats and put my mind at ease, allowing me to have a much needed vacation!”
About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!
“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.
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.
“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: Hello I current aerve in the US Navy for about 5 years now I use to work at a dog daycare/boarding facility for a little over 3 years along with a little obedience training and the basic commands I have also worked along with a few service dogs and been around with the SPCA for a bit to and I try to give back as much as possible I’m in this more for seeing all the great personalities your dogs have and to make your life a little easier as I was always told nobody can ever love you like your dog could ever or be as loyal and caring as your dog will ever be I hope to hear from you soon thank you!
About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of pets and animals around. Got our first family dog when I was young, have had goldens, pits, and now Labrador retriever. I’m an animal lover especially the pupps. Being a lab owner I can handle the craziest of crazy high wnergy reactive dogs as well. I wfh remote. Live in an apartment complex and have my own vehicle. Besides taking care of my dog I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate I love the outdoors and can take your pupp for a nice walk or play at a local dog park. My lab is a huge baby and loves affection so I have no issues giving your pupps lots of love as well. Treats and can feed if needed as well.
“We left our dog and two cats home for the weekend and Ashley took great care of them! We really appreciated that she did a meet and greet with us prior to the scheduled weekend. We got the chance to show her around the pet stuff in the house and she could meet the pets. We enjoyed getting photo & info updates about each of her visits during the day. Definitely would recommend Ashley!”
“Skylar was wonderful! Very professional and communicative. Spent a ton of time with our pups and sent thorough updates and pictures. Came home to happy and healthy dogs. Would highly recommend.”
About: Just an introverted book lover that loves to work with animals :) I have worked with/had pets of my own for almost my whole life. I have fed, walked, played with and bathed animals of all different breeds and sizes. I have experience administering medication and am very adaptable with whatever your needs are. They are part of our family after all! I have a rotating schedule with my full time job, so I have lots of availability with anywhere between five and thirteen days off in a row. Communication is key. I always send updates with everything that is happening. Arrival/departure, updates, changes in pet behavior, pictures etc. Any home I go into I treat just as if it were my own. Security, cleanliness and punctuality are vital.

Anthony D.
“Anthony has such a way with animals! He has cared for our lab, but also my family's golden retriever, Teddy, who is a large 150 lb beast.

He's comfortable and able to handle any situation the pet may throw at him - vomit, bathroom accidents, jumping, barking, medication needs, etc. He is one of the best!”
