“Katherine treats your pets like her own! What a wonderful experience we had with her - will absolutely be rebooking her!! We loved how quickly our pets warmed up to her - two dogs who don't socialize often but clearly loved her from all the amazing photos she took! I was so at ease leaving my pups with her I'd be comfortable doing it again in a heartbeat! She's simply amazing!”
“So incredibly grateful for Alicia watching our sweet boy so we could enjoy a day away! I reached out to Alicia almost two weeks before we booked, she responded almost immediately (about a half hour). We scheduled a meet and greet during a time that worked well for all of us and she was so genuine and I knew Roscoe (my pup) would be in great hands! We booked for two drop in visits at a half hour each throughout the day. Alicia sent us updates on each visit with many great pictures including playtime! Some of the cutest pictures of Roscoe. We’re so grateful to know that such a caring, responsible person was able to spend time with Roscoe while we were gone, the gratitude and relief we feel are unbounded. We will definitely request to book with Alicia in the future!”
“A constant 5 star sitter for our cat. They have come in snow rain and hail over the years. If you need a person who will care about your pet and their needs, this is your one stop shop.”
“She was so great! Our pups were well taken care of, and our house looked great after we returned from being away for a week. Our 3 dogs were not easy either as 1 is still very young and energetic, and the eldest is partially paralyzed. She was very patient and understanding with our dogs and great with communication with us while we were away. Very happy with her service!”
“Amanda was kind enough to text me all through her visit. I have one dog that is very shy. Amanda sat with her until she was comfortable enough to come out of hiding. Then Amanda took the dogs for a walk. She sent me pictures of my crazies. Amanda is very nice. We had a meet and greet with the dogs and myself two days before. I will use Amanda again if her and my schedules work out.”
About: I am that person who stops everything wherever I am to talk to dogs walking or play with them in the pet store. Pets are great friends. I work full time from home. 6a-230p. I live right outside of Penn Estates. Weekends I am available at any time. During the week after 230. I walk my 2 dogs around on a leash. They have seatbelts/car seats for car rides. We also like playing in the park. Treats in a pocket are a great way to keep your furry friend next to you
“John is very polite and took great care of our girl. She is normally very shy and hides from new people. Most of the time anyone that is taking care of her when we are not here, never gets to see her. Lovey not only came out to see John but allowed him to pet her and play with her. Very impressed with John's updates and his professionalism. I was a bit nervous using this site for the first time, but it was a great decision and John turned out to be our new pet-sitter! ER”
“Rochelle is great and very reliable. I have used her services for my cat Sylvester multiple times and have always had a very positive experience. I have an eight year old kitty.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. The only challenge was using the app and redeeming the coupon. It wasn't initially offered when I registered. The caregivers helped walk me through it. There were two caregivers' names posted, but only one serviced the dogs and the other one discussed my concerns. But when I met the second one, she got the same rundown. Overall, they were both pleasant, and the one who actually came to the house was sweet and kind to my furbabies.”

From the first time she met my dogs she had an instant connection with them. One of my dogs was even following her to her car to leave with her! She asks about them and can’t wait to see them again. I’m so happy to know someone I can trust to care for them as well as I do!”
