“Colleen K. kept me at ease by sending me pics and telling me what she and Harvey were doing. There didn't seem to be any problems. The house and my pet were completely fine when I got home.”

“Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.”

“Hannah was awesome! It was so nice being able to leave our dog at our home vs boarding. He was very well cared for and was his happy typical self when we got home. We’d definitely request Hannah’s pet sitting again!”
“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.”

“We are SO glad we found Tyler… couldn’t be happier! He stayed with our sometimes over reactive dog for a week and it went well . Tyler is very attentive and kind. Sent updates and could easily be reached. Kept house clean and neat. Was great before our trip coming over to let our dog get used to him. So appreciated… will definitely use him again! Feel like we can go away and our dog is in caring hands. Thanks Tyler!!”

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it! SCHEDULE I work part-time right now, so I am flexible to help meet you & your pets needs. I can help with drop-ins, evening walks most weekdays/weekends. Just hit me up let's work something out! :)) HOUSE SITTING/OVERNIGHT STAYS I'm requesting at least a one week notice for an overnight stay. I have three pets of my own, volunteering, and working part time, so I'll need to adjust my schedule accordingly! I have two golden girls 🐶 and a cat who still all kitten. A mix of low & high energy in my household so I give my cat at least an hour of playtime, and my girls just love to cuddle right up next to you.
“Brittany is awesome!! We used her previously and will be using her again! To describe her in a few words she is reliable, attentive and not to duplicate words awesome!! She was great with our anxiety ridden pit. We came home to a well adjusted taken care of dog and house.”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”

“Kat has stayed with our pets while we were on vacation, now for the second time. She’s been great both times and we could not recommend her more! Kat will always be our first choice in pet sitters, she gives updates and sends pictures and takes such good care of our animals!”

“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.”

About: I’ve dog & cat sat for family & friends. This includes giving medicine , helping handicapped dogs, and feeding amongst other parts of their daily routine. I’m currently working partime so sitting is just on the side but my work schedule does not interfere , i don’t mind working and coming home to someone else’s dog in the slightest ! I treat everyone’s animals like my own. I have a cat and have had dogs in the past, i keep them on a routine & make sure their needs are taken care of at all times.

“Kianna was wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog Axle behind while we went on vacation. He's very hyper and jumps on new people so we needed to find someone that could handle him and help with training. We were so lucky to find Kianna! She does dog training and has experience with hyper dogs, and she lived only a few minutes away from us, so it worked out perfectly. She followed Axle's schedule and his routine and kept us posted with photos. Axle was so happy to make a new friend! Kianna will be our first choice next time we go on vacation!”

“Rachel recently watched our 2 dogs over night and has done check in visits for us in the past. Our pups seem to love spending time with her, and we always get a bunch of cute pictures and updates while she’s with them. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

About: I have a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, especially senior dogs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced in administering both oral and topical medications and am comfortable following detailed care routines to ensure pets stay healthy and happy. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, providing calm companionship, or adapting to mobility or dietary needs, I take pride in giving each pet the individualized care they deserve. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Building trust with pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I strive to create a stress-free, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, cared for, and genuinely loved. For boarding, your pet will have a structured and caring environment throughout the day. I work full time from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and my boyfriend works from 5:30 AM to 1:30 PM, which means there are only a few hours in the late afternoon when pets would be home alone. In the mornings, pets will get potty breaks, fresh water, and breakfast before the day begins. My boyfriend is home by early afternoon and is able to give them attention, potty breaks, and companionship during that time. When I return home in the evening, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (for dogs), feeding if needed, and a calm, relaxing evening routine. A typical day in our home is calm, structured, and full of attention for the animals. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, sniff around, and stretch their legs throughout the day. Mornings usually start with potty breaks in the yard for the dogs, followed by breakfast and fresh water for everyone. After that, there’s some relaxed time while everyone settles into the day. Our two resident dogs are friendly and used to having other animals around, and our two cats are part of the household rhythm as well. During the afternoon, the dogs get more time outside in the fenced yard for potty breaks and play. There’s also indoor time for rest, toys, and companionship. We make sure pets have comfortable spaces where they can relax and feel at home. In the evening when everyone is home, the animals get plenty of attention, playtime, and interaction. Dogs can enjoy additional outdoor time in the yard, and all pets receive dinner if it’s part of their routine. The night usually winds down with a calm, cozy environment where the animals can relax and settle in comfortably. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs—whether they want to play, explore the yard, or simply relax nearby. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where every pet feels like part of the family while they’re staying with us.

About: I've taken care of my friends cats and dogs and have done house sitting locally for a few years. I always enjoy making new furry friends. Pet sitting, along with making art is my main gig so my schedule is very flexible. I try to plan pet sitting 1-2 weeks in advance. I am very observant and will cater to your specific needs. Pets require love and attention. Give me detailed directions and I will follow them to the best of my ability.
About: My journey began when I worked for the Humane League in Lancaster. From there, I started caring for friends' and families' pets over the years, as well as my own. I have owned both cats and dogs; currently, I have a Great Dane/Labrador Mix and a mini dachshund. My experience caring for dogs includes bathing, ear cleaning, teething brushing, walks, fetch, feeding, medication administration, and just hanging out! All breeds WELCOME, both BIG and small! I do work full-time, but I am available during the week, early mornings, evenings, and nights. Since I do not work weekends, I have open availability. I do not work holidays, and am available during those times as well. I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Pet parents can trust that I will follow whatever instructions are provided to me. My professional job is in Human Resources, so I understand the importance of following the rules, and I believe in caring for a pet the same way I would want mine cared for.
“Riley was fantastic!! She was very pleasant, professional and willing to make a pre-sit visit to give our little protector a meet n greet. All 3 of our shitzuh mixes seemed to enjoy having Riley stay with them! Even our tough love Toby seemed to warm up quickly. We highly recommend Riley, and would like her to sit for us in the future.”
