“She was a great cat sitter for our 5 cats (3 of which required medicine). She sent us a message after every visit letting us know how everyone did and some very cute pictures. She went above and beyond with the time and care she gave our cats. We hope she’s available the next time we go on vacation!”


“Amber is very sweet and took very good care of my cat while sending me photos while I am on vacation. I will definitely book her with Rover again in the future if in my area!”


“10/10! Very considerate and attentive to our hyper Husky, Bella! George brought us peace of mind while we were away for a family wedding. He went the extra mile and was very responsive. Even though we hate leaving our fur baby, we know she’s in good hands with George!! Thanks again!”


“Lauren is all things one would ask for in a pet sitter - reliable, caring, kind, thorough, detail-oriented, a great listener, and excellent at her job! Thank you, Lauren, for making us feel comfortable leaving our guy at home. We know he was perfectly happy and at ease in your hands. :)”


About: I have cared for all types and sizes of dogs and cats since I was a child! I grew up in a house with dogs (and a kitten for a brief period of time), and have extensive experience walking, feeding, training, and caring for all types of animals! I have experience with giving some types of medication, dogs with special needs, and cats who are very particular. I am currently a full-time graduate student at Salisbury University. I am usually available in the mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My class schedule varies day-by-day but I am happy to work around my schedule! I will treat your space with the utmost respect and care for your animals as though they are my own! I do not currently have any pets in my home.

About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.


“Heather is very attentive and makes sure that she gives clear solid photos of your furry friends. She is very helpful and makes sure all of your animals needs are met. Very reliable. Please book her! She's such a wonderful support to animal care.”


About: I have always loved animals from a young age. I was always the one responsible for feeding and taking care of our animals, and house/dog sat for friends and family when needed. I work from home, so am able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily schedule. Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I need to pop in and out for visits and walks, I am able to do that with ease. I let my pup in the yard and walk around our neighborhood on a leash. She is a very playful chihuahua yorkie mix that loves new friends! She will have your pups forgetting all about you while they stay with us. I am also happy to provide as many pictures as you want and/or video chat so you can check on your babies.

About: Do you ever hear someone say they have been caring for animals their entire life? Well for me, that’s actually true .My family has a boarding kennel that was opened the year after I was born; and it’s where I’ve spent a lot of my life. Additionally, with many years of vet tech experience and a natural passion for caring for animals, I also have a knack for picking up on illnesses. Treating your animals like my own is my biggest goal, and I will do whatever is necessary to make them happy. Very comfortable giving medicine, including insulin or other injectable medications. Animals are a passion of mine and my years of experience allow me to be knowledgeable on many different aspects of pet care. I work full time but I my schedule is pretty flexible, and can be managed to fit your pets needs. I can provide windows for drop in visits. My pet sitting services are tailored to fit your pets needs. I can walk dogs or let them out in a fenced in back yard. They are never left unsupervised while outside and prefer to use a leash if you do not have a fenced in backyard.

“We are so grateful to have found Dawn. She is wonderful with our senior cat and it was so refreshing to be able to get away for a few days and not worry about her. Excellent communication and above and beyond care of our beloved pet and our home. Much appreciated. Will definitely book again.”
