“We are new to town, and first-time users of Rover, but Cassidy did a thorough job at preparing us, and made us feel at ease. She was amazing with our 2 GSPs, and kept us up to date the entire time. We will be using her again. She is absolutely amazing!”

“Alyssa did a great job dropping in on our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable that they were being well tended to. We appreciated the daily updates and photos!”


About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I work as a nurse at Hershey Medical part time and I'm looking to take care of pets in my free time! My last dog had diabetes and other health issues so I’m experienced with administering shots and medications. He was also blind so I’m experienced with those pups who cannot see! I fostered kittens and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. I will be sure to send pictures of your fur babies while you are away! I'm currently working part time as a nurse so I can provide care to your animal on my days off which will be provided in my availability calendar. Currently, my house is under construction so I cannot board any animals. I can come to your house though to feed, water, play, walk, and snuggle!
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've been an animal lover. I've taken care of animals (both for myself and for others) for over 15 years. I've dog-sat, cat-sat, and chicken-sat for many friends and family members in that time. Since many of the pets I grew up with have begun to leave my life due to old age, I've found myself wanting to spend time with critters more. I figured why not look here to see what people may need help ensuring their pets get the proper care and attention they deserve. I am naturally a cat person, but have also learned how to work with, train, and play with dogs as a result of being around them so often. I try to balance being fun + compassionate along with being a calm but stern presence when necessary. And I'm happy to offer any and all pets a little extra playtime or attention if they need it as well (: I work from home, and have a relatively flexible schedule at least half of the week most of the time. I have time to shift my schedule around to accommodate pet care throughout the week. My only limit is often how many days out of the week I can work, but not what specific days I can watch someone's pets. My weekends can happen whenever during the week! It's important to me to start slow and develop a connection with someone's pet before acting too comfortable around them. Having ample play time, walk time, relaxation time, and a healthy amount of treats help get that process in motion. Ideally I'd love to find people I could work with regularly, strictly because I value developing a solid relationship with people's pets more than just "showing up and doing my job" - though I am very capable of doing that as well!

“Tess was amazing with all 4 of my cats, even my shy one that I wasn't expecting to even come out! Super responsive, respectful, and easy to work with - I will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😊”

“Karla is absolutely fantastic! She’s extremely reliable, flexible, and always willing to help on short notice. I never have to worry when she’s caring for my dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”

“Matthew was phenomenal! He is extremely attentive and considerate. I felt comfortable with him around my sweet princess Bella. He provided quality feedback and responded quickly. I’ll certainly be using his services again! Thank you so much Matt”

About: I have taken care of pets for my whole life! I grew up on a farm with at least three dogs and five indoor cats at a time! I have worked at Dr. Mimnagh’s office as a veterinary assistant since 2020. With years of experience, I am more than qualified to care for, feed, and administer all medications to cats and dogs. I am comfortable with handling all sizes and personalities of cats and dogs. I have a dog and two cats of my own that I care for on the daily! I love to have fun with the animals and play with them but safety for all involved is the main priority. I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina and am looking to make some extra money over the summer! I personally have five cats and three dogs which I care for daily. I also work at a local vet clinic at least four days a week as a veterinary assistant. I do my best to volunteer at the Harrisburg humane society weekly for shelter skip day! My personal pets are fed by me, cleaned up after, walked and given attention daily! Unfortunately due to my pets, I will not be taking clients pets to my house. However, I would be giving the clients pets a great deal of attention whether that include playing with them, walking and feeding them etc.
“Amanda was wonderfully attentive to my cat. She managed to befriend her, which is an accomplishment few before her have managed! She was a wonderful caregiver to my grumpy old girl and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“Once again, such wonderfully loving care for my cat :) I have never had such piece of mind! Brandy is thorough, consistent, and very patient. I feel more than comfortable leaving my animals in her care.”

“Dani was amazing! I was apprehensive (first time using Rover), but I’m so glad I did. She was professional and courteous, took great care of my dogs, and was pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond in all aspects, I highly recommend!!!”

About: I have several pets of my own. Over the years I have volunteered with shelters as well as taking care of my own animals. I have dealt with bigger dogs, small dogs, and lots of cats! I love animals and will do whatever I can to ensure a happy and healthy environment! I currently work part time over the summers in Pennsylvania and go to school in Ohio over the rest of the year. I can work in both places, it just depends on what time of year. My account will have my area provided for which one for whichever time of year. Normally I have a 8 hour shift, I do have a couple days off a week and still have plenty of time before and after work to take care of animals. I also have my lunch break. I will follow whatever instructions are provided by the client. I will stick to any dietary needs, exercise needs, and any attention needs the animal has. I am willing to clean litter boxes if it is a cat and obviously I will pick up after a dog on a walk. I keep a very close eye on the animal(s) and make it my primary focus when taking care of them.
“I am so thankful for Beth! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dogs in a last minute booking. She sent pictures and gave a great update for how the visit went. I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a drop in visit!”

About: I am a loving and caring dog Mommy that loves to walk. My Morkie Molly and I would love to find some friends to walk with us. I work from home primarily and I’m only looking to do drop ins or walks. The primary times that I would be available would be weekend mornings weekend evenings weekday evenings, anytime during the day, Mondays and Fridays My primary interest will be dropping in and walking. I’ll be sure that your pet is in their harness securely. I have a hip leash that will have waste bags and a pet water bottle if they get thirsty, The length of the walk will be depending upon the needs of the dog. I can feed them if they need to be fed spend up to one hour each visit if needed..we can play, give hugs and kisses and make sure they are tired out and happy before leaving.
“This is our third time booking Michael to care for our two cats while we were gone for 8 days. As always, Michael took excellent care of our babies, making sure to send us lots of pictures and updates each day! We are so glad we found Michael as we know our kitties are in good hands while we are away!”
