Evelyn went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. She came to the meet and greet with paper and pen to take notes, which ensured me we had made the right choice in contacting Evelyn. She checked in and sent multiple updates through the time she was with the dogs. We will 100% be working with Evelyn again when we need someone to care for our dogs.

About: Dogs are a gift to the earth we will never be able to fully appreciate or understand, the protection and kindness and beauty of their soul is something I truly admire. My roommate in college and longtime best friend has a “Canine Training and Management” degree and I have learned extensive tricks and tools from her to help with any disciplinary issues you may have. Dogs just need to be understood and most of the time we just aren’t listening! I have two cats, who are my world. When I’m not working I’m spending most of my time playing with them, cleaning up after them, and making them happy! I would treat your animals as if they were my own, with the level of protection and care that I would protect my own babies with.

Samantha was absolutely amazing and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pets with someone for the first time. She gave me daily updates, cleaned up my dog, and even took care of my cat’s litter. She sent pictures of my babies every day, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Not to mention, my house was well taken care of when I returned. She is absolutely wonderful, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!

Alexis is very sweet. She and her boyfriend came to my home to do a meet & greet with my dog. Alexis was attentive and interested when learning how to care for my dog. Alexis sent updates when she arrived at my house, sent pictures of my dog, and let me know when she left. My dog is a pitbull and Alexis was excited about this - which warmed my heart lol. Will be hiring Alexis again! :)

Linda was amazing! We left our 13 year old morkie (a very nervous and shy dog) for the first time ever & to say we were nervous was an understatement, but Linda quickly made us and our dog feel as ease. We are truly grateful to her.

Lauren took excellent care of our two young cats while we were away! Our cats were happy and settled when we returned home, which isn’t easy to accomplish with kitties under a year. Lauren is a wonderful communicator and provided lots of updates with photos - we knew they were in good hands. She also left our home very clean. We highly recommend Lauren and will absolutely welcome her back!

This was Nina’s first time watching my dog Orla. She arrived right on time and immediately offered to help me with her since I was getting ready to go to a doctor’s appointment and running a little late.. She took Orla for a nice walk and sent me several pictures during her stay. Orla was very comfortable with Nina. I will definitely ask her to come back again.

Madalyn is a true professional! She recently cared for our two Newfoundlands for a night where her knowledge of large breed dogs was essential. She communicated frequently with us and kept us updated with pictures. We have been seeking a consistent caregiver for our pups and we have found her!

We met Kenda under urgent circumstances, Having just moved to the Bethlehem area from NH, we knew no one. But then we found Kenda on Rover and all her talents and reccommendations were amazing and we knew right away she was the perfect sitter to meet our 2 dogs, Commet&Vera. Her first visit was exactly what we and our babies needed for our short leave from the home. She came prepared and it was clear she had done her homework reading all about our dogs and their meds on a daily basis. We cannot be happier nor more trusting with Kenda. Best reaction was the dogs first encounter they were elated and even tussled to see who got her attention first. My husband and I highly recommend Kenda especially if you have large dogs who are a bit rambunctious. Kenda is the real dog whisperer with her care of quick understading of our our furriest... thank you from the bottom of our hearts also from our babies. SEE YOU VERY SOON I HOPE.

WOW! Angela was the perfect petsitter for our little babies! She was so sweet, professional, and communicative and it made us feel so comfortable leaving them for two weeks as well as having her stay at our house! Our house was clean when we returned like she wasn’t even there! Both our pups were so happy not just to see us but overall happy and weren’t upset we were gone which shows us how great Angela was with them! Thank you Angela and we WILL book again!

It is challenging to leave our anxious dog when we go away. Joyce made it so much easier! She is very thoughtful and went above and beyond to understand our dog and give her lots of attention. She sent us the sweetest daily updates. Also, it was very clear when we got home that she had taken very good care of our house. Joyce is now on our short list of favorite dog sitters. We will have her dog/house sit again without question.
