“Kaylee stayed overnight with Cali and she was great! She was good with communication and making sure Cali was well taken care of, she took time to play with her and kept me updated as needed with photos. I will be requesting her for more overnight dog sittings.”

“Joy spent a long weekend with our animals and house sitting and was fantastic. She met with us before taking the job, communicated with us about any issues or questions she had that popped up, and sent photos of our pets. Our animals were very obviously loved while we were gone and we highly recommend her for any house or pet sitting jobs.”

“Kate was awesome with our dogs - lots of walks and photos so we could see how happy they were the whole time! She left our place cleaner than when we left. Highly recommended!”

“Paulina R. was great! My partner and I have never left our cats alone with someone who wasn't family before, and while we were very nervous about doing this for the first time, we needn't have worried with Paulina taking care of our babies. She made sure our 3 cats had meals on time, fresh water, got to play, and received lots of cuddles. She even somehow managed to make our really shy and anxious boy, Chompirras, feel safe enough to come out (he literally never comes out of hiding when strangers are at the house) and actually eat (he often goes on hunger strike for a day or two when we're not at home). Next time we're out of town, we'll be booking with Paulina :)”

“Ben was amazing! This was the second time he watched Harry and Harry LOVES him. He was so excited to see Ben again (we were chopped liver as soon as Ben arrived). Ben stayed at our house over the weekend and was a super respectful houseguest. He kept our place super tidy and brought us the most delicious gingerbread cookies. Thank you Ben - we can't wait to have you watch Harry again!”

“Amazing dog sitter. She communicated well, took great care of our puppies and shared lots of nice photos. Daisy has been looking around for her all day. I would highly recommend her.”

“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and felt a special connection between them. I believe that every animal deserves the world and all the love! I have a dog of my own, who is my baby! Any time there is an animal I want to make friends and be where they are:) I am currently working full time, but have a lot more availability on Thursdays and Sundays. I am around Saturdays after 3. Depending on the pets needs, I can stay over and go to work from your home. I would love to play with your dog, take them for walks and adventures. I can feed them breakfast and dinner, and include treats. Definitely give them plenty of love as well!
“Phybe was able to sit our dog when we had to go out of town on short notice. She was attentive to all instructions and took care of our dog and our home well! Phybe communicated throughout her visit sending photos and updates. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”

“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”

“Devyn was awesome! Having been our first time using her, I was a little nervous. She was timely, conscientious, and kept in constant communication with me with pictures and updates. I came home, and my house was exactly how I left it. I highly recommend her to take care of your home and pets.”

“This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.”

South Lancaster pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shara was the best pet sitter we could have asked for. We could tell she treated our pets like we would have, and they were more comfortable when we came back home because of it. She watched our dog and two cats for two full weeks while we were traveling. She was very accommodating even with last minute adjustments and coordination with others. One of our cats can take weeks to warm up to people, and he warmed up to her in two days. She sent pictures and videos of our pets every day, showing they all got treats, playtime, snuggles, and long adventures for our energetic golden retriever. Her regular updates and consideration for our pets made us feel confident throughout our vacation and is why we'll be going back to her in the future. I could tell they were spoiled while we were gone, but I didn't realize Shara would be giving us that same treatment. We returned home from a long trip exhausted, and she had washed our towels and sheets, put them on the bed for us, and she had left the home cleaner for us than we left it for her. She's the best, and I know our pets and us can't wait to see her again.

Jay stepped in at very short notice to help us out when another sitter fell through. We really appreciated her quick response and regular communication during the transition as well as throughout the sitting. She is very reliable and sends lots of photos and updates. Our pets are in good hands with Jay! We’ve been able to have her house sit two times and would love to have her again.
Natalya is always amazing with my dog! She sends lots of updates and pictures, and knows how to spend quality time with my pup while I’m gone. Every time I get home, Roscoe is happy but a tired, so I know she’s had the best time! Natalya is great at following any specifics for my dog, and always takes care to be respectful of the house too.

Devyn was a excellent pet care provider for our 2 dogs! She stayed with our 2 dogs for a week. She had offered to meet the dogs a couple times prior to our trip for them to get comfortable with her She was very proactive with communication and responsive through booking and the entire trip One of our dogs requires daily and monthly medication and she handled that protocol required. The house was kept tidy and clean upon our arrival back home. We would absolutely book with Devyn again and would recommend her to others in the future.
