“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”
About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with dogs in the family ever since I was born. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years I’ve also frequently pet-sat for friends and family members. I currently have two English Springer Spaniels who are brother and sister, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I absolutely love staying active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, long walks, playtime, and attention while in my care! Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower-paced routine with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor care to their individual personality and needs. Having dogs of my own has taught me how important consistency and routines are for pets. I will gladly follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, training expectations, or special requests to help your dog feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I truly treat every dog like family. I know how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and provide them with lots of love, care, and attention! General Availability: Monday-Friday: 5AM-9AM & 6:30PM-11PM Saturday-Sunday: 5AM-11PM
About: I’ve grown up with dogs surrounding me! 6 throughout my own home life, and more through friends and family. I’ve taken care of the young and the old, the sick and the energetic, from chihuahua to mastiff! My schedule revolves around them, not the other way around. It’s my personal mission to keep any pet in my care safe and happy, or safe and content if it takes a while for them to get used to me. Your dog(s) will be well-fed, stress-free and will hopefully have gained a new friend :) I work part time 2-3 days a week, so lots of time for pups! I’m used to staying up late and waking up early for my own. I’ve yet to meet a dog that doesn’t like me! Exercise/play: - happy to take walks or just play in a yard/play area - tennis balls, tug-of-war and puzzle enrichment toys are fair game Food: - dry kibble, fresh food, homemade dietary food, I’ve made it and given it! - I love to bake, so let me know if your buddy would appreciate a homemade treat! Health/safety: - any safety instructions given will be strictly followed - any and all allergies will be taken extremely seriously - I have experience in administering most forms of oral and topical medications, if needed - happy to give a brush-through, but baths and nails are out of my wheelhouse for now
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets every day. I help my mom care for our two dogs and also have three cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily needs, routines, and personalities of both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving them attention and affection, I treat every pet like they're part of the family. While I don't have professional training experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler approach and more attentive care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already help care for my family's two dogs and three cats. I'm used to feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them attention, and making sure they're comfortable and happy throughout the day. Since I'm home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet and their owner. My flexible schedule also means I can provide consistent care and give pets the attention they deserve. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy playing fetch, giving them lots of attention, and spending quality time snuggling and bonding with them. I often join my mom on long walks with our dogs, so I am comfortable exercising and caring for pets of different energy levels. I am responsible, patient, and knowledgeable about basic pet care, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, and following their daily routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make their well-being my top priority.
About: I grew up in a home where we always had many animals. Because of that, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ve spent many years helping take care of pets at home and for family and friends. I currently have a cat named Floyd, who I recently adopted. He is very affectionate, loving, gentle, and gets along very well with other animals. I currently work from home full-time during the weekdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability Monday through Friday. Being home throughout the day allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily routine and making sure animals feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Although my home does not have a fenced yard, I always take pets outside on a leash and stay with them while they enjoy time outdoors. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.
“Lauren, Thank you for taking such good care of Tedy for me! I just dropped in to check on him and he is happy and so settled! Thanks for your extra efforts!! Much Appreciated!”
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.
About: I’ve fostered and owned cats and dogs since I was little. I worked at a dog daycare where I manage dogs from every size and breed! I’ve worked there for two years and have lots of experience! I work as a dog daycare attendant and a kennel technician there. I go to school at the University of Delaware and am home for the summer! I currently work a job of about 25 hours a week and sometimes will be shadowing veterinarians. My work schedule is not the same every week, but I can adjust as needed. I am trained from my job in animal handling and how to handle health challenges. I cannot do medicine unless it is already packaged in the food provided. I am a massive animal lover and am ready to give so much love & attention to the your pets!
“Allyson was very friendly and easy to set up a booking to do daily stop-ins for my cat Cleo. Very fast communication and did a great job taking care of all of my cat's needs (as well as sending me updates). Would highly recommend Allyson and book her again.”
About: My regular work schedule changes every week! So although it might show that I have a day blocked off, please message me anyways to see if I am available for a day you need help! :) I have had multiple cats and multiple dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered for animal transportation services! I have been counted on to bathe, feed, walk, and love all animals I have had in my care! I am currently working part-time a 3-4 days a week, and my schedule changes every week. I am very flexible on time though, and I take days off for house-sitting as well! Even if my calendar says a day might be blocked off, please message me anyways if you are looking for help on one of those days as my work schedule could have changed! I take my 2 dogs out every 3-4 hours as well as refill their water bowls throughout the day and feed them twice according to their diets. My cats are let out once or twice a day with supervision and are fed twice a day as well as their water bowl being refilled throughout as well. And of course they all get constant attention throughout the day. Your babies will be treated as if they were my own!
About: I’ve cared for cats of all kind, including special needs cat, since my teens, and have also volunteered at local animal shelters. I currently have two tuxedo cats of my own: one with FIV and one high-energy Bengal mix. I’m comfortable providing more involved daily care when needed, and I especially enjoy working with high-energy cats who benefit from structured play and enrichment (including leash/harness walking when appropriate). I'm happy to handle basic dog care alongside cat visits as well, if you have a canine friend at home too! I have a flexible schedule and can meet most scheduling needs. I'm available for morning, mid-day, and evening visits, as well as weekend visits. I'm happy to carry out daily visits as well. In our home, we have two tuxedo cats, one who has special needs. They are indoor-only cats, and enjoy cat trees, cat shelves, and daily enrichment.
“Jackie has been so wonderful and helpful! Our new puppy needs a lot of face time, and having such a kind and attentive dog nanny keeps this nervous dog mommy from worrying on work days! She keeps our Dolly on schedule and reinforces good habits and training. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: I will provide care and love for your pet just as I care for my own. As a long time hair stylist I am working toward grooming. Currently enrolled to be a vet tech as well. I am a stay at home mom so I can be around for your pups whenever they need. Pups fall right into my routine. Your pup will be with me and my family all day. Snuggling on the couch and playing with my dog loving kids. I have one senior pup and very expansive back yard. I live near walking trails where I walk the pups. My 2 girls are 11 and 7 and often help with the pets we board or in my clients homes as well. A
Shrewsbury dog parents share their Rover experiences
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Maya for a meet-and-greet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. My dog took to them right away (and she’s a very anxious goldendoodle), which speaks volumes about their approach and care. I’m confident that my pup will be in great hands during their walks. She even sent me pictures & updated me on her walk. Highly recommend Maya!!!!!!!
