“Toni is the absolute best, endured a snow/ice storm with major winds leading to a power failure! She kept our Bowa girl safe and warm and shoveled herself out!!”


About: From growing up with dogs to training my first puppy (not a certified trainer), dogs are best friends & family members. I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you are out on vacation, at a gathering, or at work. I work full time hours Monday through Friday. Typically free weekday mornings before 7:30AM, weekday evenings (at 4pm) and weekends all day. Weekends I’m typically out accompanying my dog while he lives his best life. It’s a dog’s world ! My dog is on a strict diet, takes medications and requires lots of exercise. I don’t mind walking, playing, feeding or administering medications to our friends. I have experience with dogs with various energy types and temperaments. I care and treat every dog like they are my own. Willing to send pictures of your dog(s) enjoying their best life !

“Meghan stayed three nights in our home with our Belgian malinois and everything went super smoothly! This was our first in-home boarding experience with our dog, and we were so happy to return to a calm, happy dog who would normally be very anxious after out of home boarding. She sent lots of updates/pictures and always responded in a timely manner.”


“Kamryn did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We especially loved the pictures she so thoughtfully sent to us daily while we were away. We highly recommend her!”


“Brittany was absolutely amazing! I was so stressed with my sister’s wedding weekend and being the first time I left Jax with someone other than my family. She stayed with him longer than she needed to and stopped by multiple times and even stayed overnight. She sent me updates and photos through out the weekend. Jax loved her and I felt relieved that I didn’t have to stress about him the whole weekend knowing he was in good hands. I definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.”


“Would 100% recommend Brenda to anyone. We went away for vacation and we were very nervous leaving our babies but Brenda was able to put our minds to rest. She sent us pictures and updates on a daily basis. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Brenda.”


“We have used Samantha for extended house sitting and caregiving for our elderly, blind cat. She is just the most reliable, compassionate, meticulous and competent young woman! We trust her completely with our home and our beloved cat. We admire her and wholeheartedly recommend her!”


About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.

“Great communication! Emma did a wonderful job of caring for our dog! Thank you!”


About: I’ve pet sat for friends, family friends, and colleges for over 7 years! I have also repeatedly been asked to pet sit for the same families! I am very detail oriented and will bring so much love and care to your household while you are gone! Making sure your animals are kept safe, happy, and well taken care of is my mail goal! I have a light work schedule over the summer, I work 2-3 days a week during the morning into the afternoon! If you need me on those days no worries I will stop by before and after work if you need! I am very flexible and will attend to what you need! I prefer caring for pets in your home, my home is already at capacity with my 3 dogs! So keeping your animals at your house with me coming to visit is best case scenario!

“Emily and Adam did a fantastic job watching our Newfoundland,Dachshund, and cat when we went on vacation. Emily was very communicative and shared plenty of photos. We felt at ease knowing they were being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emily and Adam in the future!”


“This was our first time using Rover because our dog Champ is an older shepherd that is losing his ability to walk on his back legs. I am happy to report that we were over joyed that Kiara came in advance to meet Champ and get to know him. Champ took to Kiara right away which made us feel comfortable with having to leave him in her care. Kiara came in before we had to leave which made it less worry some for us. Kiara was very good at staying in touch with us as to how things were going and shared pictures with us as well. I would highly recommend Kiara and will definitely call upon her services again.”

“My 12 year old terrier mix has never been alone without me. Needless to say i was nervous but Karen eased my mind with her texts and pictures. I could tell Lucy was happy and i was sble to enjoy my vacation. Next time i need to go away i will definitely contact karen again.”

“Dotty absolutely loved Imani! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies!!”


About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!

“Samantha is very trustworthy, great with our husky. She was interested in knowing our pets personality, temperament, feeding schedule, walks I’ve never used a service like this and could not have been more pleased with the care given.”


About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and helped care for foster pets. I’m active, reliable, and form strong, lasting bonds with pets of all energy levels. I’m currently on summer break with a flexible schedule that allows for daily walks, visits, or overnight stays. Pet care naturally fits into my routine. I follow all instructions carefully and keep pets safe, happy, and relaxed. I will respect your home, provide updates, and keep routines consistent and stress-free.

Shillington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We plan all of trips without our fur baby around Toni’s availability because we don’t want anyone else taking care of Linus ! Absolutely thoughtful and letting us know what’s going on at home!

Emily was great! Communicated every day while we gone and sent us pictures of the pups. Great experience using Rover for the first time. We will definitely be reaching back out to her for our next trip.

Samantha is very trustworthy, great with our husky. She was interested in knowing our pets personality, temperament, feeding schedule, walks I’ve never used a service like this and could not have been more pleased with the care given.

Samantha has done a great job watching our two cats, yet again. When we were concerned that one cat was too busy hiding to come out and eat food, Samantha made sure she had food in the room she was hiding in and also let us know when she saw the food was eaten. Coming back to our house and happy cats, we can’t even tell she’s been here for several days as everything is just how we left it.

Brittany was absolutely amazing! I was so stressed with my sister’s wedding weekend and being the first time I left Jax with someone other than my family. She stayed with him longer than she needed to and stopped by multiple times and even stayed overnight. She sent me updates and photos through out the weekend. Jax loved her and I felt relieved that I didn’t have to stress about him the whole weekend knowing he was in good hands. I definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.

Natalie was so accommodating to our schedule and took great care of both dogs. I will definitely be scheduling with her in the future.
