“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”


“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”


“Trish was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She followed their routine and sent frequent updates and pictures. We loved to see that they were enjoying their time and playing. Our house was left in great condition. We would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”


“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”

“Sydney was amazing! She impressed me first by being early for our meet and greet appointment, which is always a good start! She watched my 3 fur babies overnight and she did a wonderful job with them. Took excellent care of our home and picked up after herself (she stayed over). I couldn't be more pleased with choosing her to care for our home and our fur babies. I will def. be hiring her again.”

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for years! From checking in on the pet periodically throughout the day and making sure they have all they need, to walking them and staying overnight for multiple nights in a row, I’m confident in my ability to care for you pet and make them feel loved!! I am currently in between jobs, so I have availability to stay with pets throughout the day and overnight, check on them as often as you need, and walk/feed/let them out as much as you need! I ensure that all of the pets needs are met. I can put up a gate if needed. I make sure to dedicate one-on-one playtime and/or provide adequate exercise that allow them to get out their energy.


“We have used Rachel multiple times for house sitting our pup. It is such a comfort knowing Rachel is looking after her. She keeps us informed, has zoned into Lexi’s needs and wants, gives her medication and lots of love and attention! We feel so blessed to have found someone so caring and reliable for our little one!”


“Krystin was great with my cat River! She was responsive, and sent so many pictures to make sure I knew my baby was ok. When we got back from our trip, our kitty was relaxed and seemed to act like we were never gone :) would definitely recommend!”


About: I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs. I also love our 2 year old cat and have looked after animals of all ages throughout my life—dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, hamsters, and fish—each one unique and loved. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. I keep my Rover calendar availability updated, as I respect the value of your time trying to arrange for Rover services. After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I look forward to meeting new furry friends each week! I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique needs—whether that means walking, playing, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship. I always follow your instructions closely and respectfully, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind. Most importantly, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

About: I have taken care of animals for neighbors, family friends, and complete strangers for many years. I have multiple animals in my classroom at school including guinea pigs, rabbits, a bearded dragon, and turtles. I also have several dogs and cats of my own! I am an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. I like to assist families during the summer as well as during the week in the evenings or during longer holiday breaks and weekends. I have a lot of flexibility outside of my normal working hours of 7am-3pm during the school year. I love to ensure that I am comfortable taking your furry family members for a walk either on a loose leash or with a harness. I also enjoy working with families who have invisible fences or fenced in yards which allow the pets to run freely! I am comfortably crating dogs as needed for safety reasons.

“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”


About: I have been around animals all of my life, from cats and dogs to horses and cows. I love walking and hiking, and would be happy to have your pet come along, if that is ok with you. I am a teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible over the summer. I can board your pet during the school year if needed, especially on the weekends. I live on almost an acre of property that is not fenced in. I live 1.5 miles east of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. I am 1 to 2 miles away from walking trails. I do have one cat and two daughters 10 and 13.

“Kayla is the best. She takes care of our 3 dogs, fish, turtle and geckos. She's dependable and sweet. Keeps in contact and sends pics while you're away.
