“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”

“Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again”


“Natalie took such good care of our Junie and our house while we were away for 10 days. It was such a relief to know that she was staying there and we loved receiving updates with photos!”

About: My family and I have taken care and rescued dogs our entire life. I have been around all kinds of animals and have so much love and care for them than I can put in words. I’ve completed a veterinary assistant course so I can put my love for these creations into action. Through my training I have gained pretty thick skin, basically saying I’m hard to gross out or to be spooked off by our furry friends. I understand how much we love our pets, so much so they quickly become family, and that in itself shows the importance of my job here. I would be honored to assist you in your pet/family care needs. I am able to take frequent breaks during the day to give much needed attention. I have always had pets or friends with pets and I’m very attentive. I have a unfenced yard, and frequently take walks. I currently have no pets residing with me so it will not cause any complications with reactive dogs.
“My dogs were taken care of excellently! I got lots of photos and it was very clear that my entire pack (which is a crazy pack both in size and energy 🤣) was very happy! Can't recommend these two enough! Thanks so much!”
“Sydney was great! She met with us last minute and stayed with our guys while we were away. She sent pics and kept us updated all weekend. Everyone was very well taken care of and happy! We will definitely have Sydney over again when we go out of town!”

“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”

“Hannah did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and our cat while we were on vacation! She was extremely attentive and communicated throughout, always sending photos and updates. Our one boy is super anxious, so we really appreciate him being able to stay in his own space. She really made things easy for us and gave us peace of mind!”
“We were absolutely thrilled with Kayla's exceptional house and pet-sitting services! From the moment we met her, her warm and friendly demeanor put us and Cooper at ease. It was evident that she had a genuine love for animals as she bonded with our energetic Labradoodle, Cooper, in no time. Throughout her time watching over our home and furry friend, Kayla consistently went above and beyond, maintaining excellent communication and sending us regular updates, which reassured us that everything was in capable hands. We returned to a happy and well-cared-for Cooper, and our house was just as we had left it. Kayla's responsible and caring approach truly made our time away stress-free, and we wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with our dog and home in the future.”

“Erin is the most wonderful pet / house sitter!! We were nervous to leave our recent rescue with someone new and we are so happy we found Erin. She asked thoughtful detailed questions ahead of her stay which indicated to us how much she cared about getting the routine right and how attentive she’d be to our girl’s needs during her stay. Being a new rescue with medical needs, our dog requires consistency in her routine and feedback re certain behaviors and Erin took great care to follow our directions. Communication before and during was always quick and clear, and we loved receiving the many photo updates most of all! Overall, we found Erin to be extremely kind, thoughtful, detail oriented, respectful and reliable. She seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know our dog. We will definitely be asking Erin to pet sit for us again!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid. Currently have a 7 y/o black lab that I rescued as a 1 year old who is the friendliest dog ever and very well behaved and even tempered. I am free during the day as I work from home to house sit, dog walk or drop in to take care of your pooch. No fenced in yard but great walking neighborhood and friendly loving dog to keep them company during the day. House is very dog friendly for them to feel at home.
“Elad and Shira were wonderful! Really took care of Macie like it was their own. Sent pics and videos that were terrific. Will continue to have them whenever I go out of town. Very lucky to have found them!!!!”

“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, small animals, birds, reptiles, and pets of all kinds my whole life. I have worked in zoos and vet clinics, and I am American Red Cross Dog and Cat CPR & Basic First Aid Certified. I am skilled with all ages of animals as well, from training puppies to caring for senior pets with special needs and administering medications. I can care for all breeds and species. I can't wait to make your pet my new friend! Pet care is my full-time job. It begins in the morning with our daily feeding routine, followed by a walk or play time in the yard. I then go to school or the gym. At the end of the day, we have our evening meal and play time, followed by clean up and cuddles before bed. I can spend a few hours in your home in the mornings between 7 and 10 am. After school I can be at your home with them from 4-8pm. I can provide additional services for a fee including an extra walk, bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I am experienced administering oral and injectable medications. I spend the night in my home with my pets. I am not currently able to spend the night away from home. I am not currently providing boarding services in my home. I treat animals as family. I adhere as closely as possible to my clients’ pet care wishes. My training style is always praise-based and fear-free. I want your pet to feel safe in my presence, whether we are at home or out on a nice walk. I have clearances and references as well and would be happy to provide you with copies.
Overbrook pet parents share their Rover experiences
Matthew cared for our pets for 5 days and nights. He was truly exceptional. He sent pictures every day. And upon our return, I can tell by the mood of our pets that they were not stressed a bit, just happy to see us upon our return. Matthew has a calm nature and a good vibe, animals can sense that.

Allie went above and beyond for my two babies and I could not be more appreciate of her! From cold nights to unexpected minor health concerns, she did everything she could to be sure my animals were comfortable and well taken care of. Could not recommend a better pet sitter! Thank you, Allie!!!!

CK was amazing!! He was great with our Senior dog giving her pills and making her feel safe from the get go. He sent constant updates throughout and even washed the sheets we gave him and took out the trash without asking. We never got to do a meet and greet because it was a last minute booking due to our previous sitter cancelling and our dogs warmed up to him immediately. Would 1000% recommend him.

Soephie watched our doggies while we went out of town for a few days and all we can say is that she was absolutely amazing! She sent us periodic updates and lots of photos of our babies. Not only did our doggies love her, but her kind personality made them so comfortable while we were gone! We will definitely be asking for help in the future and would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you sooooo much again Soephie ❤️

Trinity was amazing, she took care of our cat Bathtub for two weeks and she gave us such peace of mind! Trinity is trustworthy, sends tons of pictures and videos, is prompt in her updates of when she visits and clearly truly cares about the pets she takes care of. Couldn't ask for a better cat sitter.

Sydney was so lovely! She was great with Tallulah and gave us updates and sent photos throughout our Christmas trip. She was extremely professional and let us know when our dog tore up some soft toys overnight, and even cleaned it all up for us! Tallulah is a bit of a princess and doesn't like going potty in the rain to the extent of faking a pee to get back inside... Sydney saw right through the trick and made sure she went potty. We will definitely hire Sydney again! Thanks for everything!

This was our second booking with Lauren and we could not be happier! She truly went above and beyond taking care of our 2 dogs. 3 days into our trip she contacted us to let us know she had noticed symptoms of a UTI in one of our dogs. We stayed in close communication with both Lauren and our veterinary office as we worked to figure out the best course of action. Lauren was wonderful as she collected a urine sample (which took a few attempts due to rain and darkness!) and drove to our vet’s office to collect the necessary medication then administer them over the following days. Throughout all this she still provided plenty of updates regarding normal care including meals, bathroom breaks, and playtime for the dogs. We will absolutely be rebooking Lauren for any travel needs in the future!
