About: For the past 3, years I have stayed over at a family friends home and watched their dog. I have also watched my neighbors dog before. My family does not have a dog, so I love being able to spend time and give love to someone’s else when they are not able to! My best friend has a cat and dog. Whenever she works crazy hours, I will go over and feed her pets for her and take her dog on a walk. I am currently a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My class on thursday does not start until 2pm so I am available in the mornings. I work part time at walmart. At walmart I work Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7-4 so I am available after that. Other than that, I am pretty much available whenever! When at someone’s else’s home, I keep an eye on their pet so that way I know where they are at and that they are not getting into any trouble. As previously stated, my family does not own any type of pet. However, I have watched dogs before for family friends and neighbors.
“William did an amazing job! My husband and I were very hesitant to have someone come into our home while we were gone, but we couldn’t be more pleased with the communication, caring manner and wonderful service that Willam provided for our sweet Easter. We got sent multiple pictures each visit and was provided with a very thorough review of each visit. Everything was in order when we returned home and there was even a nice note. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely re-book when the time comes.”
“Manda is great! She kept our dog in the past and just finished doing drop-in visits for our cats. She clearly loves animals and treats them as her own! She sent great photos and kept us well-informed. I highly recommend her!”
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
“Grace was an amazing sitter. She took excellent care of our cats while we were on a 7 day vacation providing a couple of drop ins each day. She played with our cats, and kept them fed and watered.”

About: Growing up I always had a dog and cats. They bring so much joy into my life. I recently took a break from bedside nursing, but now I am heading back full time at the new Wexford Hospital. I will be working full time but still would love to walk dogs/make drop in visits on the days I am off work! My boyfriend and I have a 10 month old English Cream Golden Retriever named Hunter, who we adore. I have experience training puppies, giving medications, walking dogs. I am heading back to bedside nursing starting July 26th. I should have my schedule a month in advance. I would prefer a long-term set schedule, but I am always flexible as well. I will only be able to make drop in's and dog walks at your home! I am unable to provide doggy day care or boarding services at this time.
About: I have a German Shepherd Husky mix who has separation anxiety and is getting older in age. I also helped with my parents senior dog who was blind. Growing up I always helped friends and family with their puppies and grown dogs. I currently just have doctors appointments to attend while my husband works full time and I’ve always loved being around animals but unfortunately I live in a small apartment so I don’t have room for any more. I will ensure they have the potty breaks they need, they’re fed and have any medications. I will play with them and make sure they’re comfortable

I walk, feed, bathe, and play with their dogs as well as my own. I am an EMT. I work 12 and 24 hour shifts rotating between 2-3 days a week. On my days off I plan to spend them with some dogs and/or cats! In my home I have a fenced in back yard that my dogs can run and play safely. Fetch is my pitbulls favorite game and I love to play with her. If I were to take care of your pets I would make sure to follow your dog's schedule as they normally would, including playtime and walks!

Kayla L.
“I would absolutely recommend Kayla as a dog caregiver. Kayla is the most caring, loving, empathetic person I know! She is kind and always happy and much fun to be around. I would recommend her to take care of any pet I have without hesitation. I know she will show up with the energy needed without a doubt. A pet would not get luckier than to have Kayla take care of them. I would have to say, she loves pets like they were her children .”

Madison H.
“Madison has house sat and watched our three Rottweilers on multiple occasions. We’ve had trouble keeping good pet sitters since our pups are very active, but Madison has been the best sitter we’ve had! Our dogs absolutely adore her. She has shown communication skills by sending us updates on our pups when we’re out of town, follows schedules for feeding and walking promptly, and is overall a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to watch your pets!”
