“Jackie was very nice, came to meet me before she started and was here when expected. She had to clean up more than her fair share of pee with a new puppy and a jealous brother dog. Thanks Jackie for coming on short notice as well!!”

About: I grew up around dogs since I was a baby. I love dogs and I will be happy to provide my experience to your dog. I am CPR certified. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. On my free time I volunteer at the humane society. Fun fact: I speak Spanish (Hablo español) • Morning (6:00 AM – 8:00 AM): • Take dogs out for a morning bathroom break or "sniffy walk". • Measure and serve breakfast alongside fresh water. • Scoop cat litter boxes and refresh food or water bowls. • Give a few minutes of morning snuggles or short play. • Midday (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM): • Let dogs out for a quick midday relief walk or backyard check. • Provide a puzzle toy, lick mat, or short enrichment activity. • Evening (5:00 PM – 8:00 PM): • Serve dinner at a consistent time to aid digestion. • Go for a longer evening walk, jog, or play session to burn off remaining energy. • Practice a 5-minute obedience or trick-training session. • Night (9:00 PM – 10:00 PM): • Take a final outdoor bathroom break. • Wind down in a quiet, comfortable sleeping area. Hi! I'm a professional pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, attentive, and reliable pet care right here in Reading. Whether your dog needs an energetic midday walk or your cat prefers quiet, in-home companion care while you are away, I am here to give your pets the specialized attention they deserve. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind. That is why my services—ranging from drop-in visits to overnight house sitting—are entirely built around your pet's unique habits, personality, and medical needs. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pets like they are my own, keeping you updated with plenty of photos and peace-of-mind messages. Let me take the worry out of your schedule so you can travel or work knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and safe!

Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! ❤️ I provide a clean, loving, and welcoming environment where your fur baby will feel right at home.

About: Ive always owned animals growing up. We currently have 3 dogs, Bandit, Yazzy, and Stormy. I know how important it is to have help with your babies when you’re at work, or away on a trip. They will be in great hands with me ❤️ I work full time Monday through Friday. I have a one hour lunch I’m available for a quick visit or walk. I’m also available anytime or day over the weekend 😀 I have a nice big fenced in back yard, and lots of room for playing and plenty of toys. Your babies will be safe with me.

About: I've had big dogs my entire life so I'm incredibly confident in my abilities to take the best care possible of your dogs! I get along great with dogs young and old as well as big and small and have had experience dealing with reactive dogs as well. I didn't have cats growing up due to family members' allergies but I have been cat sitting for a few years for my friends and I hope to one day own a cat as well :) I've also had experience working with fish, frogs, geckos, and other small animals. I love critters big and small and work great with all types of animals! I'm a senior at the University of Maryland with a fairly relaxed schedule so I have more than enough time to make sure I'm there for your pets in every way possible! I live in an apartment on campus so unfortunately I am not currently able to board animals but I have a car so I can drive to you and can access dog parks, pet stores, and vets easily if need be. I have no allergies to pet saliva or dandruff and am comfortable working with all kinds of animals!

“This was my first time using a sitter instead of friends or family, so I was pretty nervous leaving my hyperthyroid cat who needs daily medication and has become very picky with food. Maggie was fantastic—she followed my notes closely, was patient with his routine, and made sure he was comfortable and eating. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive and capable hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her, especially for pets with extra needs.”

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

“Riley did a great job for us while on vacation! We were very worried leaving our Frenchie alone for that length of time, but knowing Riley was there to take care of her and keep her company made it less stressful. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”

About: I've had cats my whole life, and while I've never owned a dog, I've pet sit for my family and friends on multiple occasions. And, for the past two years I've been working for a pet sitting company! It's been a great joy to get to know the dogs and cats I have met over the past two years. I also have worked in a shelter enviroment and have enxperience administering medicine and vaccines, as well as with dogs and cats with specific behavorial needs. Since I have four cats of my own right now I won't be able to house any animals in my home, but I have a car and am happy to drive to your house and take your pets to wherever they might need! I'm currently devoting most if my time to pet sitting and am willing to fit in a visit or a walk anytime, and any day of the week. I'm happy to work overnight in your house, but since I have four cats who have wildly different personalities, I won't be able to house any pets in my home. I pride myself on being able to figure out what an animal needs, and on being patient with pets with any sort of special behavioral, or medical needs.

About: I have taken care or animals for the past 8 years. I have been utilized by my friends and family to feed, watch, play, and work on training. I work at a wildlife refuge in the mornings then I can dedicate all of my time after that commitment to taking care of your pets. My refuge time can become flexible but that will have to be discussed prior if it is necessary. Safety, trust, and the well-being of pets are my top priorities. When pet sitting or dog walking, I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, maintain a secure environment, provide fresh water, exercise, and attention, and monitor pets for any signs of illness or distress. I treat every pet with patience and care, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.

“Mollie was our 1st ever Rover booking & our 1st ever single dog pet sitting visit request/need. We recently lost our oldest of the 2 boys …James has never been by himself in our home & since we lost our oldest Boy, James has started with separation anxiety…protest barking when we are out of his sight/alone. Mollie asked great questions at the meet & greet & was very good with James. We booked the 1 hour visit & were extremely relieved that James was so happy with Mollie❤️ she was prompt. Got James out for walks in the rain. Kept us updated during the visit…we will absolutely book again with Mollie.”

About: I’ve worked for a local dog walking company for the past 2 summers, completing 4-8 walks per day as well as many overnight stays. I lived with my family dog for 5 years, and now help care for my roommates 2 cats as well. I absolutely love animals, I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to seniors. I’m looking to complete as many dog walks per day as possible, fitting them around my one class per day on campus. I can complete up to 10 walks a day, 11 being the most I’ve done in one day. I’m open to weekend work as well, but primarily prefer weekday work. I’ve learned so much about safety and trust in my years as a dog walker, allowing me to build a relationship with my clients, treating their pets as I would my own.

“What a lovely experience. From our initial meeting that gave us confidence, to the great communication throughout, we had peace of mind that our guy was being well cared for. The photographs and updates were so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare.”

I will make sure that they are on a leash when outside, if there is no fence. If there is a fence, I will make sure they are kept inside the fence!

“We have used Cassidy twice now. It is so nice knowing that our fur babies are taken care of . She took such good care of them and made us feel comfortable being gone. 10 out 10 would recommend.”
