“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”
“Daniel was awesome, simply put. Great communication and multiple updates kept us in the loop. He was very engaging with our dogs and went above and beyond our expectations.”
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.
“Karen is always fantastic with our dog! She’s prompt, has great communication, and is quick to adjust to any concerns and resolves them efficiently. We’re grateful for her to take care of our fur baby and confident with the services she provides for him! Highly recommend for all.”
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.
“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”
“Emily was great! Easy going, very flexible, and dependable. She showed up every day to feed our 4 fur babies, scoop the litter, and even water the plants! We loved the updates and pictures too. We definitely recommend her and will use her again without hesitation.”
“Stella was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away!”
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.
About: I grew up in a house that had an abundance of animals at all times. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, and birds. I basically lived in a zoo! I current work part-time as a receptionist at a retirement home, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your little fur babies! I make sure they have lots and lots of cuddles, plenty of food and water, and of course some time to get those zoomies out!
“Jo-Ellen is a great pet sitter, very responsible and caring with love to my cats. I’m sure I’ll ask her services next time. Thanks so much , Jo for your wonderful service..”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life and cannot imagine life without them! Family and friends have relied on me to check in with their pets while away, and it always puts a smile on my face! I currently have one dog (mutt) and my sister has 2 (Vizsla and Weimaraner)! I’m currently in my second year of PA school, so my schedule is busy, but I am willing to work with you to help out when I can! Weekends work best for me. I am able to walk dogs and come for check ins! My goal is to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible while their beloved owner is away. I can easily feed and provide water to them, clean the litter box or yard as needed, take for walks and potty breaks, and of course play with them! If the yard is not fenced in, I will be sure to have your pup on a leash. I will also be sure to closely follow any specific instructions given.
“Samantha is attentive, nurturing and very trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to make sure not only your pet but your home is well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her for anyone who is planning long or short term travel.”

Shillington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jess was incredibly caring with my four cats while we were away in Greece for two weeks. My senior cat requires daily medication and extra monitoring due to his diabetes, and Jess did a fantastic job making sure he was eating well, taking his medication, and using the litter box normally. She also made sure my three one-year-old babies were well cared for and gave them plenty of extra playtime to help burn off all that kitten energy. Jess was excellent with communication and sent daily updates and photos of the babies. I was able to fully relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. It’s also clear that Jess truly loves animals. She cared not only for our cats, but also for the neighborhood stray cats, and even adopted one of the sweet strays and gave him a loving home. Jess left a wonderful gift bag for the cats, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for babies and a clean house. We look forward to working with Jess again for our next getaway and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.

Amanda is professional, personable, and reliable. I have never had anyone dog sit besides my mother and am new to this area- so I was a little aprehensive about a dog sitter, but having Amanda stop by a couple times a week helps out tremedously. She sends lots of pictures, and is very responsive. My dogs and I appreciate her visits...even my old dog Fiona, who is very hesitant of new people. Amanda is a fantastic dog sitter and I would recommend her services to anyone!
Stephanie is an absolute gem! So lucky to have found her. She's the person you hope you can find when looking for someone to care for your pets. I can't thank her enough. Will absolutely have Stephanie care for our cats again. Highly recommend! THANK YOU, STEPHANIE!!
