About: I have learned a lot from our one dog especially over the years. I attended trainings for him to help him and he is thriving today. I have also done dog walking with wag for a year. I may be able to do some services after 4pm during the week. I am available mostly every weekend for services. It all depends on the service needed. I won't be offering services in my own home since our one dog suffers with anxiety. I will follow the rules with whatever the client is saying. I will ensure a safe and loving environment for your babies.

About: I've been around animals since I was a child, my first job was working in a pet grooming salon.. I've taken care of family and friends pets for over 20 yrs. I enjoy being around all animals. I currently have 2 dogs & 3 cats of my own and I will treat your fur kids as if they were my own. I'm currently working from home and I set my own hours, so I'm available mostly everyday to care for other people's pets and give them the proper time they need for walks & playtime My pets have a fenced in yard where there able to get their exercise. My cats have a screened enclosure so they are able to enjoy the outdoors safely
“This was the first time we left our two cats together for any extended time, and were very happy with how well they were taken care of! Kacey and Kelly were very communicative and friendly, and our pets warmed up to them quickly- would highly recommend!”

“Lynn was absolutely amazing. I had an issue with Rover double-charging me for a sitter I didn’t even use, and although it wasn’t her responsibility, Lynn was incredibly accommodating and willing to help in any way she could. She kept me updated with detailed messages twice a day about my pets and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly made this entire experience stress-free, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We need more people like her—10/10, highly recommend!”

About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
About: With over four years of dog-sitting experience, I have cared for dogs of various sizes and breeds, as well as multiple dogs at once. I provide tailored care including walks, feeding, daytime care, and overnight stays. I have experience with senior care as my own dog is almost 17! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I will make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you are gone! As a first-semester graduate student dog sitting is the perfect fit for my schedule. Whether it’s daytime care or overnight stays I am available to meet their needs. I am committed to providing your pet with love and care they deserve, all while you have peace of mind! I prioritize your pets safety and comfort by following their established routine and ensuring a safe environment. I take the time to get to know each pets needs. Whether it is food preferences, exercise, or any special instructions. I make sure your home is treated with respect, maintaining a clean and calm environment for your pet. Trust is essential to me, and I will keep in touch with you regularly, sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have been caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and more, in people's homes for 10 years, developing a wide range of skills. Additionally, my work at a pet resort that offers boarding, daycare, grooming, and training has provided me with extensive training and experience. I have successfully managed up to five dogs in one household simultaneously and, having three dogs of my own, am well-equipped to handle any situation with ease. My lifelong love for animals has driven me to ensure they receive the best care possible. Whether it's providing the right environment, understanding their needs, or simply giving them the affection they deserve. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently live in Camp Hill and work part-time at a pet resort, which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry companion. My typical hours for work are either 6:00 am to 12:00 pm or 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This fall, as I return to college in Scranton, I’ll continue offering pet sitting services in the Scranton area and will come back for breaks around the holidays. I’ll make sure to stay in touch and would love to be updated on how your pets are doing whenever I’m not around. In caring for pets, in my home, at work, and in clients' homes, I bring a strong background in safety and responsiveness. My experience as a lifeguard and working with animals has honed my ability to manage emergencies and provide care. Originally trained in human CPR, I've adapted these skills for pets, allowing me to handle medical situations effectively. At work, I use skills in being able to quickly assess when a pet is in pain or something isn’t right and know how to act immediately. Additionally, having cared for an elderly dog that lived to 17, I’m experienced in managing age-related health concerns and providing attentive care to ensure pets remain comfortable and well cared for.
“Imani is the purrfect cat sitter. We scheduled a meet and greet prior to our departure. She was able to meet Rocky (briefly before he hid) and Knuckles. Imani sent pictures daily so we could see they were ok. If you need a sitter and she is in your area she is great!”

“Gabriela was amazing with Teddy and Tessie. They get very excited when meeting someone new and they were but her calm manner made them calmer too. Look forward to booking Gabriela again 🐶❤️🐶”

“I highly recommend Summer! She checked in our dog several times when my husband and I were out of town for a few days. I appreciated her updates, communication and photos. She took the time to play with our dog and give her lots of cuddles, building trust and comfort - it put me at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands! We’ll definitely be reaching out to Summer for dog sitting needs in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! I myself have 2 cats and 1 dog. I currently reside with my mother in a 4 bedroom house. My mother owns 5 cats, 1 small dog, and a ferret. All are friendly. Keep in mind if youd want care in my home. :) As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins "My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. Detailed Check-ins: I will let you know when they nap, eat, and do their business
About: Hi, I'm Aly! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins; I am also open to taking care of your cats.I have experience administering insulin as well since my cat has had diabetes. I have a large fenced in yard they could run around in. I have about 10 years of pet care experience (walking, feeding, potty breaks, etc). I will walk your pup as often as you like. Being a pet owner I understand what an important part of the family our dogs are, and would provide the best care possible. I have owned dogs my entire life, and will treat your fur baby like it is my own and we'll have the best time! I will always keep you updated with pictures & status updates :) I am very patient, responsible, and punctual.... I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Looking forward to hearing from you! My schedule is really open and flexible right now. I can make myself available anytime during 8AM - 5PM but I can be flexible if needed. As a remote worker and proud cat parent, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and regular check-ins. Whether it’s giving morning meds, refreshing food and water, or simply providing some companionship, I enjoy making animals feel safe and loved. Caring for pets isn’t a chore—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. In both settings, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring a personalized and caring experience for every pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scranton
Lynn was truly the best! She gave us such peace of mind caring for our frenchie while we were out of town. She provided detailed information about each visit and amazing picture updates. She really loved our pup like her own and we will 100% book with Lynn again in the future.

Megan was great with Lennox during drop-ins while I was away from home for a full day. She let him out, sat with him inside and on the back deck, gave him treats and kept him well-fed and happy. Her definitely seemed to have had a joyful day and Megan was reliable, courteous and very responsive with communications before, during and after her visits. I plan to utilize her expertise again soon.

Mary is an exceptional pet sitter for my puppy. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares about his well-being. She takes the time to engage him in play and keeps him happy and active, which gives me great peace of mind. Mary follows all instructions perfectly and is consistently reliable and communicative. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Summer is great! We love having her as our rover. She goes above and beyond for us every visit. She’s very communicative during visits with pictures and updates. She follows all directions and is very reliable. I feel very at ease leaving our animals in summers care. If you need a sitter, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Scranton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
