“Daniel is the absolute best and the only one I would trust to watch my girls. My husband and I felt so comfortable with him the moment we met him and our girls did as well. We’ve lost some of the pack members we have and he was very sensitive to that and made sure to take lots of pictures and keep the communication flowing and open. Extremely highly recommended and the only one I would use! He deserves more than five stars! And I’m very picky.”
“Sarah made sure that all of our pets were taken care of and received tons of love and attention while we were away. She is also experienced with caring for rabbits so I knew that our bunny was in good hands and would be able to exercise his legs. I highly recommend her and will be booking her for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
“Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.”
“Cera was AMAZING with my two dogs. I submitted a last minute request and hadn't used Rover before and Cera made me feel so at ease. My dogs had so much fun with her! Cera is the best!”
“We were afraid to leave our 18 year old partially blind kitty who takes complicated medications when we embarked upon a long international trip with minimal opportunities for contact. Samantha was reassuring and kind, and her calm and confident manner put us at ease. We received videos and photos all the while we were overseas, and our shy senior cat fell in love with Samantha’s gentle manner. Samantha also managed our home during a tropical storm, and when we returned, our home was immaculate. I cannot imagine a better person to trust with your beloved pet and your home. Samantha is not only a most competent professional but she is warm, and compassionate, and very dear. We are forever grateful to her!”
“Jess was wonderful and very caring for my dog Wiley. I got multiple updates a day and she was very thorough. She left my home clean and tidy and I would absolutely recommend her services.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of multiple family members and friends. I love to walk dogs and spend time with them as well! I live across from a park, so walks are very nice and long. I have a flexible summer internship where I am looking for hours during the day to walk/look after dogs and other animals. My availability depends on the day. I am looking for multiple times in the day to either let a pet out or take them for a walk. I have a yard without fences where a dog can run around. I have plenty of room in my house for an animal to walk/play around. I am able to supply food and water for pets in my home.
“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!”
“Another great staycation for our pups at home with Karen! Just as the first time, she provided pictures and (heartfelt) updates throughout our trip. Cali and Finn absolutely adore her and they were perfectly happy and content. Thank you again, Karen - look forward to next time!”

“Hailey was great and really helped me out after a sitter cancelled last minute. My dog really liked her and I liked seeing pictures and knowing how she was doing while I was away”
“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.”

About: Hi I'm Dani! I have been passionate about animals my whole life and even went vegetarian when I was 12. I love all kinds of animals even the creepy and scaly kind. I have had experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, goats, and chickens. In childhood I had some brief experience with horses as well. I currently have two inside cats, one barn cat, two chickens, and six goats! Pet care is part of my daily life and routine as my cat is always by my side when I am home. Usually I will help take our dogs out when needed or feed the goats etc. I will love and treat your animals with the upmost respect. It's important to me to also not cross any boundaries that would make your animals uncomfortable.
“Madeleine was wonderful! She was responsive from the very first communication. She genuinely connected with our dog immediately and kept us informed and updated with pictures while we were on vacation. We look forward to having her care for our Zoey in the future. She is a gem.”
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 have taken care of other friends dogs including senior dogs. I currently own a two year old black lab mix named Atlas. I love walking dogs and would love the opportunity to meet yours! During the school year, I am currently available 8:30-5 most days during the week. Boarding is also available in the evenings and on the weekends. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, there is plenty of space to walk in my neighborhood. I also have one dog who is friendly with other dogs. I am comfortable crating dogs when needed.
Shillington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We simply can’t say enough about Daniel. We would not have gone on vacation without him. He is the only one, other than our parents, that we trust with our babies and he did an amazing job and took excellent care of them and our home. He is simply the best and the only one to use!
Diana was great with my cat and dog while I was away. She made sure to stop by and spend enough time with them. This was the first time I was away for a week and didn’t have family watching the pets. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing my pets were in great hands! Thank you again Diana for everything! 🫶
Emma did a fantastic job caring for both my dog and my house. She kept in contact everyday letting me know how things were going and sending pictures. My dog can be aggressive on walks but Emma handled her very well. And when I got home my dog was happy and healthy and my house was spotless! I will no doubt use her again!
Jess was great! She was easy to communicate with and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog with her. My dog can seem all big and bad at first but he is just a big softy once he knows you’re not a threat to him or his family. Jesse was super patient and caring with him and he warmed right up. I loved getting updates and photos—it really put my mind at ease. When I got back, my dog was happy and relaxed. I’d definitely book with her again!
Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.
As a 1st time user of Rover, I got super lucky with Brittany! My fur babies abso-freakin-lutely adored her! I got regular updates, and the girls got adventures and training for 'place' and agility games (something they did not understand lol), and Brittany made sure everyone had all the snuggles they could want.
We needed a pet sitter for our big vacation, and we really like Samantha after having her pet sit several times now. She did a great job of keeping the cats happy while also staying in our home so we knew the house was ok as well. We get pictures and updates, and she always responds quickly if we check in.
Kate was a great housesitter! She was very respectful of our home and took great care of our dogs. She sent a ton of pictures of them while we were gone too, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely have her over to watch Kado and Korra again.
