“Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!”

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

“Belen was kind and patient with our dogs. First time we ever had someone take care of our pups and we felt completely confident and comfortable that they were in the best hands!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own senior husky, so I understand how important patience, attention, and a comfortable routine can be for every pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, lots of attention, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Even though I have a pretty busy school schedule, I always make room for pets! I spend a lot of time studying, so I love having a furry study buddy nearby to keep me company. I’m happy to take study breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Having pets around makes my day better, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my routine. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and what makes them feel most comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks or playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s medications, crate routines, potty schedules, or certain behaviors to watch for. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Anna was great with Lucy! She was very communicative and flexible. When our flight was canceled she stayed an extra night to watch Lucy. We will definitely be using her as a dog sitter in the future!!”

“Isis was so attentive and left such detailed and thoughtful messages for us. Our dog got sick in the middle of the night and she handled it, cleaned it, and let us know what happened in a timely manner. She even then changed our dog's breakfast to help their tummy. We will definitely be asking Isis back 🧡”


“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”

“Exception! Kristina is great with our pup. Very proactive in keeping us updated. It’s clear that she has a special bond with dogs. We would highly recommend her.”

“Georgia took care of Duck for 6 days, and I came back to a happy dog :) she is so reliable, really quick with responses, and sent me photos and updates while I was away. I could tell that my dog was calm and happy when I returned and the house was spotless! She even left the cutest crochet hat for Duck 🥹”

“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”

“Tommy was so great with our Dorothy!! Dorothy was well taken care of and we received frequent updates including pictures. Will definitely use Tommy again in the future”

“Katherine was a rockstar from start to finish. We just moved to the area, and so we had to find a new sitter for our cat, Moose. Moose absolutely loved Katherine and warmed up to her within minutes. He was playing with her on day 1, and it took prior sitters multiple visits before he even thought of touching a toy. Katherine gave multiple photo and video updates during her visit, and was super communicative of any issues. She stayed overnight and treated our home as her own. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Moose again!”

“Belkis did a great job taking care of our two cats for ten days. She stayed in our apartment, sent pictures every day and played with our kittens to keep them engaged. Thanks so much for taking care of our kitties!”


“Bethany stepped in to pet sit for us last minute, and we are so thankful for that. She took excellent care of our pup and our home we highly highly recommend and she will be our first request for all future needs!”

“Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!”


“Amy has done a great job taking care of our two cats and our house. This is the third time she's stayed here, and we plan to hire her again. She clearly loves cats, and we can tell our guys like her too.”


About: I used to have two dogs and a cat along with many other random animals. Have always loved pets, just not in a place to have my own at the moment but would love to help others! I work full time, but I am available at night and on the weekends to help out with your furry friends! We can work together to find a schedule that works for both of us. I live in a one bedroom apartment in a managed building. It is a very pet friendly building and has a fenced in area for dogs. We also have a grooming station.
About: I’ve found my love for taking care of pets since I was 4 years old. From caring for my first pet as a child to being an aunt to my best friends cat in PA school, I am highly trusted to provide high quality care and unconditional love for any pet in my presence. My schedule is flexible! I’m a physician assistant, so my weeks are a mix of clinic and administrative work. Depending on my schedule, I’m able to stop by before work, during lunch, or after work. I’m also happy to do stay-ins when needed! My weekends tend to be especially flexible as well, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs as much as possible :) My current living space is not equipped to offer care at my home, but I will care for any breed/size/age dog in a client’s home. I am adaptable and willing to do any tasks needed to ensure the pet feels loved, happy, and comfortable.
“Janiya watched our 2 dogs while we were away, completing feedings, walks, and overnight care. She reached out when she had questions and left a nice paper report card after finishing the stay.”

“Liz is the best and most trustworthy sitter. She is extremely responsive and sends great pictures and updates. My cats are extremely shy and they love her, she is patient and helps them feel comfortable which is priceless to me. Thank you Liz!!!”

Marangela was absolutely wonderful! She was able to pet sit for us last minute, and from the very beginning, she was so communicative, responsive, and reliable. She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! Highly recommend Marangela!

Vika was our first dogsitter on Rover and she was great. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and Vika helped him through it. When we came home, our dog was happy and healthy. Normally, if I go out of town for a couple of days, he gets stressed out after I get back, too. Not this time. He behaving like he normally does. I would definitely ask Vika back again.

Chandler was wonderful with our two boys, Bruce and Barry, while we were abroad for a week. She was attentive and communicative the whole time, sending daily photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our boys are couch potatoes and she spent quality time with them, which is exactly what we wanted. She also left our place nice and tidy. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend!

Emily was such a dedicated and attentive sitter— I highly recommend her! She took amazing care of my dog, Palmer, and sent photos every day. She took her on long walks and provided her with enrichment activities and cuddles for all 5 days that she was with her.

Bethany was great! She house sat for us and our two Boston terriers, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of them and the house. All pet parents know how stressful it is to leave your furbabies behind and it was such a relief knowing they’re in good hands.

Allison was amazing with my 2 dogs! They both have a lot of energy and one is a big dog and she was super great with them both! She sent lots of pictures, took great care of them, was very attentive, and left my place so clean! Would definitely recommend and book again
