“Cari was amazing! Our pups absolutely love her and we felt so at ease with her being there with them while we were out of town. She sent us lots of pictures and the house was neat as a pin when we got home. We’re so happy we found her!!!”


“We are so grateful to have found Samantha! She did a meet and greet to meet our dog and cats, and the day of our vacation she came over before we left. Our dog ran over to her and wagged his tail so happy to see her. She did a great job of communicating throughout each day and sent a lot of pictures which I liked. When we returned, all of the pets were happy, had clean dishes and litter boxes, and our home was as if we never left. We’ll definitely be using Samantha again and highly recommend!”


“Emma was wonderful! I felt reassured my 2 dogs were in good hands. She took great care of them and will definitely call on her again for dog sitting! Thank you for making my vacation carefree by not having to worry about my girls! Thank you very much!”

“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience it was. Mallory was able to help us out in a pinch. We needed a sitter for about three days/nights and were easily able to put together a schedule that worked for the both of us.

“Annalize is a great provider who demonstrates compassionate care for animals. We left three dogs, two cats, two chinchillas in her care for the weekend. One of the dogs is very elderly and needs a lot of hands on care. Annalize brought it, and kept everyone cool, comfy, fed, and happy. I would recommend her highly.”


About: I've dog sat, walked, and let out little dogs to Great Danes(he was quite the bed hog!). I'm happy to give your dog the love and attention they need while you're away! I have experience with "hard" to walk dogs and am comfortable handling them. Tug of war, fetch, wrestle or belly rub I'm down to play! Of course if it's just snuggles your dog needs I'm happy to oblige. I have experince with senior dogs and puppies and am comfortable giving oral medications.

About: I’ve taken care of large breed dogs personally for many years and know ALL the ups and downs that go along with that care. There is a special place in my heart for senior and ‘special need’ pups. I’m available all throughout the day on the weekends and in the afternoons during weekdays. My career schedule is as flexible as I choose, and can change week to week as needed. I have a (tall) fenced-in yard for my 2 very friendly pups. We take fun and safety very seriously around here! I am all about their comfort and security.

About: Hi, I’m Jillian! What sets me apart from other dog sitters is how deeply I care for animals, not just as a job, but as a real passion. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s taking them on peaceful walks or just being there to keep them company. I walk my own dog every day and regularly watch my neighbors’ dogs, treating each one like family. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, where walking and spending time with the dogs truly fills my cup. Every dog I care for gets my full attention, love, and respect, because to me, they’re more than pets; they’re companions who deserve the best. Right now I am on summer break. I am a teacher in Pennsylvania so I am pretty available most weekdays and weekends. I am also available during the day as well! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I care for every animal with the same attention and love I give my own dog, always keeping an eye on them, making sure they’re happy, secure, and never stressed. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs and routines so they feel safe and at ease. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight stay, you can trust that your pet is in caring, responsible hands with me.

“Cortney was absolutely the best pet sitter/dog sitter we’ve ever hired. She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were comfortable while we were away. She was understanding about our cats special needs and had no trouble giving our dog Hiccup his pill every day. Cortney was very communicative with us about how our pets were doing and provided daily updates. She and her fiancé Dustin both went out of their way to spend quality time with all our pets. They even watered our plants for us :) They left our house cleaner than we left it. I would highly recommend booking Cortney for any pet sitting needs!”
